Fatal Accident.

Fatal Accident.
A distressing accident occurred near
Martinsburg last Thursday morning, in
which two lives were snuffed out in au
instant. Ms. Edward B. Fulk, OF the
Bunker Hill neighborhood, accompanied
by her four year-old grandson, Frederick
Fulk, IT,, was in buggy driving TO the
home OF neighbcr, and as they were
crossing the track OF the Cumberland
Valley Railroad passenger train struck
the team with terrific force. Mrs. Fulk
and the little boy were thrown out and
instantly killed, the vehiclewas demolish-
ed and the horse fatally injured. Just
why they failed to see or hear the train
will never be known, as the crossing is
not bad one. Mrs. Fulk, who was II
years old, is survived by her husband
and two sons.

The soldiers who took charge OF the
bridge here made rather bad start last
night. Town Sergeant Robert Shipley,
OF this place, was on duty with the Bald

the soldiers proceeded 10 the bridge, and
the lieutenant in charge, without a word

BY the financial statement OF the cor
poration OF Shepherdstown published
elsewhere in this paper, it will be seen
that the retiring town council leaves in
the treasury the sum OF S54.lS, and there
is not dollar OF uncollected taxes 10 be
added TO this sum, Collector J. F. Wal
deck having cleaned up his book and
made settlement in full with the old coun-
ell. The incoming council, thus being
without funds TO pay current expenses,
has instructed its finance committee TO
make arrangements to borrow 81 900 to
meet the towns needs. Last year when
the town statement was published the
retiring council left balance OF 81 ,3SS.77
in the treasury in 1915, the balance was
S535.l1; in 1914 the balance was S24S.l6,
to which was added S733lS OF taxes due
by the town sergeant. Let US hope that
never again will retiring council under
