STRANGE MALADY APPEARS
Stock And People Victims OF West
Virginia Epidemic.

Grafton, w. Va, June 13.-Taylor
and Barbour counties have been Wis
tied by a strange malady which is not
only affecting horses and cattle, but
people as well. The families of ID. G.
Nestor, ]. ]. Gainor and Bruce Philips,
a few miles south of Grafton, have
been quarantined by orders of DIR.
Louder, of the State Board of Health,
who has been working on the cases
for more than week. Several per-
sons and SO horses, cattle and mules
have developed the disease. 1t is some
what similar to the foot-and-mouth
disease and is said to be quite as SER
ious.

H. & F. Rwy. Makes Big Gains.

Messrs. Sanderson & Porter, engi-
neers and contractors, supervising
the management of the Hagerstown
and Frederick Railway company, have
just issued compilation of figures
showing operations for April and for
the 10 months ended April 80, as COM
pared to the previous year. The fig
ureS show an increase in gross re-
ceipts of over IL per cent. for the
10 months, and the company's net in
come increased about 80 per cent. The
company's funded debt for the same
period is about Is per cent. less, max
ing an increase of more than 500 per
cent. in surplus. This is the COM
pany which was practically refnan-
ced by the Fidelity Trust company.
For the ten months ending May l
the surplus of $56,7619S is shown.
Against this surplus is to be charged
interest on the adjustment five per
cent. bonds and any other items set
aside for depreciation account, which
will not leave any substantial amount
for the preferred stock of the COM
pany. However, the present pros
poets of the company would seem
to warrant the hope that ere long the
many persons in Hagerstown and
Frederick who have literally invest
ed in the stock of the company for
the purpose of developing the prop
erty in the communities which it
serves may see the earnings increas-
ed to an extent as to show substan-
tial earnings on the stocks of the
company.
The SO miles of trackage of the
company, which traverses large por-
lions of Frederick and Washington
counties, taking in such places as
Hagerstown, Frederick, Thurmont,
Braddock Heights, Williamsport, Sc
curity' ETC., passes through a con-
stantly growing region in which the
agricultural, industrial and manufac-
turing development is a consistently
progressive and consistent one, being
subject to and affected by sporadic
or intermittent spurts in volume of
business in no degree whatever. The
showing therefore, is all the more
interesting as being indicative of
substantial development which is de-
pendent not at all upon fluctuating
circumstances.
1t is stated that during the last 10
months costracts have been entered
into with new power customers which
will materially increase the COM
pany's revenues from this source Ne
gotiations are actively under way with
a number of additional prospective
power customers, several of whom
are operating plants of considerable
size. Advantageous contracts have
also been made to supply the Frost
burg section.
Four new Brill conference.-the,
single truck, pay-as-you-enter car
bodies have been purchased and are
giving satisfaction on the Hagers-
town local lines. The cars are ar
ranged for front platform entrance
and exit of passengers and are being
operated by one man. Two new Brill
conference.-the, double truck car
bodies have been ordered for inter-
urban service and are to be delivered
this month.
Two Baldwin 25-ton electric loco
motives, equipped with General Elec-
trio motors, have been purchased to
handle increased freight business.
One of these is now in daily use and
the second will be placed in opera
ton shortly.

Municipal Extravaganza.

widely from the thrifty ways Of our
predecessors. Naturally taxes are higher

Some striking figures are given for
Washington county By the Barre Times,
in an article opposing a county tax levy
for the purpose OF building a new jail
IL appears from this that ten Of the
20 cities and towns in the county have a
tax rate exceeding the average rate Tor
the state, and one-third have rates equal
10 or exceeding two dollars on the dollar
of their grand lists, while one OF the
score has petitioned the legislature for
assistance in paying for a project just
contaminated This last-named town IS
Woodbury.. which last year had an eN.
cessive rate Of S2.43 on the dollar. Three
other towns are paying At rate Of
S2.25. while three have a $500 rate and
Others are disageeably near that figure.
