TRhINMAN WAS CRUSHED
To DEATH YESTERDAY
William C. ShsW. Grafton Brakeman,
Met End at AItamont.

William c. Shaw, of Grafton, W. Va,
fagman and extra conductor on an east
bound freight train. was killed yester-
day morning when caught and crushed
between coal cars on: the Seventeen
mile grade near Altamont, this county.
The deceased was fagman on the
train which was going down the long
grade and was near the middle of the
strings of cars when the accident took
place. The helper had been cut off at
the top OF the;hill and the train was
proceeding down the grade with but
the single engine. In some manner The
two cars between which Shaw was
standing, crushed together. pinning his
body between them and fastening him
so securely that his body could not be
taken out. With the weight of the
train behind it, the man remained in
the trap for some minutes after the
train was stopped until the helper could
be attached again to the rear and the
cars back of Shaw pulled away.
Two versions of the accident are
given. One is that the cars between
which Shaw was standing were wooden
cars and that they were "buckled'' by
the weight behind when the train start
ed down the grade. The other story is
that the coupling of one car was pulled
out, which, of course, caused the emer-
gency air brakes to stop the front part
of the train. The rear section then
forced together, catching Shaw's body
between them as though in vice.
The remains of the unfortunate man
were brought to Oakland an hour or
two after he had met death and were
prepared for burial and encased in a
casket by Mr.. D. Z. Bolden and shipped
to Grafton on train No. So yesterday
afternoon, the body beng in charge of
Mr.. Shaw's brother-ir- law, Mr.. William

STORM BREAKS COMMUNICATION
Telephone and Telegraph Wires
Down As Result of Sleet Storm.

The heavy wind and sleet storm which
struck this section OF the country
yestedaY morning has created extreme
ly bad conditions both for telephone and
telegraph companies, and the service as
a result is almost entirely paralyzed.
Especially is this true with respect to
Eastern points and points within the
confines of Garrett county.
Between Oakland and Accident and
other points on the Garrett County
Telephone Company's lines, large
number of poles are down and the wires
are broken in many places, cutting off
communication with the northern end
of the county.
The Bell system fares little better.
Wires are down between Oakland and
points east, no service being available
east of Deer Park.
Yesterday morning ice covered every
thing that was exposed during the pre-
ceding night, the trees were heavily
laden and In many instances large
limbs were broken off and fell

HAVE MADE AN ASSIGNMENT
Mr. and Mrs. F. G. HYDE Jointly
Assign Their Property.

Tuesday afternoon papers were filed
in the Circuit Court for Garrett county
wherein both Mr.. and Mrs. F. G. Hyde
made assignments of their property for
the benefit of their creditors, Mr.. W..
R. Offutt, of the Oakland bar, being
the trustee named in the deed of assign
ment.
Mr.. Hyde has been engaged in various
businesses in Oakland for the past
thirty years, almost the entire time be.
ing devoted to the jewelry and watch
making business. A few years ago
Mrs. Hyde opened a millinery store
which was conducted in connection with
the Jewelry business of her husband.
Recently business became so poor and
Mr.. Hyde's health became such that he
was unable to give the proper attention
to his work, hence the assignment.
In the deed of assignment the prop
erty located on Alder street. as we'll as
the stock of jeweIry and millinery and
the house furnishings of the couple and
all book accounts, are turned over to the
receiver who has taken charge of the
property.
Several mortgages and bills of sale
are on record against the real estate as
well as covering some of 'the personal
property, and these will have to be
satisfied before there can be distribu-
ton to the general creditors.
Immediately after making the assign
ment both Mr.. and Mrs. Hyde left
Oakland for Washington, D. c., where
they expect to reside for the present at
least.

MARYLAND LEGISLATURE
FACES MANY BIC PROBLEMS
Sale Of Liquor, Annexation, Econo.
mics, Primaries Some Of Them.

In the General Assembly of 1916, to
meet in Annapolis on January 5, and to
remain in session 80 days, will arise
more and bigger problems than have
been before any legislature during re-
cent years. Among the problems are
the following:
Statewide vote on the question of
continued sale or no sale of liquor.
Annexation of the contiguous and
populuos suburbs of Baltimore.
The Sheppard oyster planting law
under which the state faces the pros
pect of paying about $500. 900 for oyster
grounds leased by the State, condemn
ed under the law and thrown open to
the public.
Amending the primary election laws
by which expenses of candidates will be
reduced and the envelope system in the
counties abolished.
Hunt for new resources of public
revenues with which to meet the con-
stantly growing expenses of the State.
Creation of a conservation commits
sion in which will be combined the
Shellfsh Commission, Fish Commission,
and oyster navy, several bureaus and
sub-departments.
Creation of State Board of Agri-
culture.
Reform of public school system along
lines laid down by the Forthcoming
survey conducted by the General Ed
ucation Board.
Additional provision for care of de-
pendent insane, including new buildings
and equipment.
Purchase of farm for inebriates.
Action of some kind to prohibit a re-
currence of such libel upon Baltimore
as that by the report iof the so-called
Vice Commission.
Creation of a budget system. by
which it is proposed to lodge in the
Governor the power to frame all gen
eral bills carrying appropriations which
cannot be increased by the legislature
except in cases of dire emergencies. By
this innovation the powers of the Cover
nor will be greatly enlarged.
Reduction in legislative and govern
mental expenses and introduction of
economies all along the line.
Creation of loan of about 81, 0OO, 900
with which to meet the deficit in the
state treasury.
Creation of an additional loan of
probably 81, 200, 900 with which to COM
plete the system of improved highways
as projected and to build necessary
bridges.
Better system in making appropria-
tons for institutions supported wholly
or in part by the State, including col
leges. academies and other schools. re-
formatories, hospitals, dependent in
sane.
The legislative session will mark the
passing and the coming of the new
systems. The horde of useless en-
ployees of the legislature will be
diminished. The mass of local legisla-
ton will be materially reduced through

THE ELKS' TREE

One of the happiest thoughts of the
Christmas season in Columbia is that
of the Elks i'm providing community
Christmas tree. Down the years has
come to us this symbol of the Yuletide
the tree, generous bounty of nature.
laden with the concrete tokens of a
spirit that dwells always in the heart
of a man but finds its fullest express
sion in the festival of Christmas. In
the tree is exemplified the spirit OF
love and service of which the Master
spoke. Faith, Hope and Charity,
these three" And Charity is Love,
which spells Service.
Straight and upreaching is the
tree, as the souls of men are upreach-
ing, in greater community of spirit
now than at any other season, to
touch higher plane. Outspreading
are the branches of the tree, as gener-
GUS reach out at Christmas time to
share their happiness with others.
Such is the meaning that one may
read into the symbol of the tree. Fit
ting 1t is therefore that the tree
should form the centerpiece of the
big Christmas party that the Elks
have arranged for the children. Here
is the enchantment of fairyland-a
Christmas tree, straight and tall and |
Of generaus compass. hiding its many
mysteries of gifts! What rapture it
will bring, what joy to the hearts of
those who give and those who receive.
See the bright round eyes of the boys
with a sled that the good Saint has
brought straight from his wonderful
workshop, See the worshipful, moth
ering look on the face of the girl with
her doll!
Multiply several scores of tirlcs the
"0h's" and "Ah's" of happy rhilGrsn
la the home circle, and perhaps you
may c0njure up an idea of the joy
bringing Possibilities OF the Elks'
