RUSH Of BUSINESS
CALLS FOR ALL MEN
3. & o. Doing BIG Business Since the
Eastern Embargo Was
Lifted.

Today the b. 6 o. is doing a rush
ing business. For few days last
week the low temperature was a him
drance to getting traffic over the road
because. in many instances, the en-
gines refused to properly steam, and
the result was that much traffic was
delayed and held up at the various
terminals. But today all east and
westbound tracks are literally crowd
ed with long. heavy trains. The train
men are making all the time they de-
sire. and there is a call for every
available man.
Since the eastern embargo has
been lifted the rush of enpties to
western points has greatly aided in the
dispatch of traffic, and shippers are
being able to make their shipments
without so much delay The cry for
cars has been heard so long that the
company is bending every effort 10
supply the demands.

bull. DOG ATTACKS
WELL KNOWN LADIES
Mrs. Rachel Spencer and Mrs. G. p
GrimsIey Set Upon by Vicious
Animal.

While at her home in East King
street, Saturday evening, shortly after
5 o'clock, Mrs. George p. Grimsley.
was viciously attacked by the family
hull dog, Don" and before the ami
NAL could be subdued it had bitten her
right hand most severely.
At the time of the occurrence, Mrs.
Grimsley was going about the house
performing her usual duties, and had
not the slightest conception of the
dog turning upon her. The animal
was suddenly seized with a violent
outburst of temper, and made for the
first victim in sight Mrs. Grimsley.
though taken unaware, remained
quite calm, considering the circum-
stances, and after much effort sue
ceeded in getting the brute to relin-
quish its hold, not, however, until it
had left the effects of its attack.
Mrs. Rachel Spencer. mother of Mrs.
Grimsley, who resides with her, went
to the rescue of her daughter, and the
animal attacked her, infiicting sever
al wounds ON the right hand.
Dr. c. E. Clay. the family physician,
was called and dressed the wounds OF
the ladies', which it is hoped, by their
large circle of friends will not be of
serious nature. Today Mrs. Grims.
ley reported that she and her mother
were getting along splendidly and an
ticipated no bad results.
After the occurrence John G. Wolfe
and E. T. Holt. veterinarians, went
to the home and made a thorough ex.
animation of the dog, which was
found not to be suffering from rab-
hies, it appearing that it was only a
case OF an outburst of temper. How
ever, the animal was killed and its
head sent Saturday night by DR.. Clay
to the HYGIENE laboratory, Washing
ton, for examination.

MARTiNs5uRG FIRE LOSS is THE
SMALLEST IN sTATE-oNLY

EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT, ELiMlN-
ALTON OF FIRE HAZARDS, AND
FIRE FIGHTING.

The January Bulletin, issued by the
insurance department of the state aud
itor's Office, contains a report OF the
fire chiefs of the state for December.
a report of the states fire loss dur
ing the past twelve months is also
given, and comparisons are made be-
tween the various cities, with paid
and volunteer fire departments. State
Fire Marshal John s. Koran goes in
to the question of fire prevention
very thoroughly and discusses 1t in
a very able manner.
The 1915 report shows that Martins
burg made the best record OF any
city in the state. the loss being only
$4,000. Huntington comes second
with $23 1000. and the fire marshal
has taken the occasion to compliment
Chief J. T. Davis, of Huntington, and
Chief Martin Quinn. of this city. up
on their splendid records. The mar
shall says: These records are due
not only to efficient equipment and
fire fighting, but to the elimination OF
fire hazards as well.s
"The best time to stop a fire." con-
tinues the marshal, s'is before ii be.
gins, fires caused by lightning arc
practically the only ones which can
not be absolutely prevented, and even
fire of this nature can be guarded
against to- certain txtents however.
except during a certain season Of the
year, this phase of fire prevention re-
|quires no attention.
Chief Quinn has made remark
able record during the past few
years. He has been a diligent stu
dent of fire prevention, and his as
sistants are thoroughly trained in the
work He has also interested prop
|erty owners, and a large number OF
them have followed his instructions
and are keeping their premises clean,
having al rubbish and waste matter
ial removed so in case OF fire the
firemen would have better opportun.

Martinsburg's fire loss for the past
your years is: 1912. $11S, 1865;
