Boating on the Canal Doubtful.

II is said that the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, one of the historic inland
waterways of the nation, may go out OF
business this year. Despite its record
of having carried 10000 tons OF coal
to Washington from Cumberland helos
last season, the canal faces the probable
necessity Of suspending operations be-
cause the government has not decided
to give ii financial assistance that 1t
received during the war, and the tow
age company does not see its way to
meeting an almost certain deficit that
will be incurred under existing. oper
ating costs. Failure Of the canal to
open will affect nearly 600 employees
and their families, including boatmen
and locktenders. AS a war measure,
the federal government last year guar
anteed the towage company against loss
in operation. A loss was incurred which
the government met.
Although usually by this time OF the
year water is turned into the canal and
boats are ready to move, everything IS
yet at standstill and the boatmen have
not received notice to prepare Tor ousi-
ness. Last year the boatmen got
80 cents a ton for boating coal, ten
cents of which was paid by the govern
ment. The government will pay moth
ing this year, and il is said that the
canal company will refuse to pay more
than 60 cents, claiming that this is the
maximum rate it can afford 10 give.
Whether or not the boatmen vii! agree
TO a reduction of 20 cents ton is a
question yet to be answered.

Curious CORPORATION Election.

Our corporation elections have de-
veloped some peculiar curleycues in
times gone by, but We do not recall any
thing in this line that ever took more
curious turn than that of Monday last.
Two years ago the town council passed
an ordinance putting our town election
on practically the same basis as State
and county elections. An Official bal
lot was provided for, on which no name
was to be printed unless it had been
properly certified two weeks before the
election, and this was to be published
in the two town papers. The ordinance
went so far as to say that names writ
ten on the ballot would not be counted.
The apparent purpose Of this new law
was to prevent tickets. from being
sprung at the last moment-a> very
laudasle idea.
This year, in due form, ticket was
certified to the proper authorities, pub
lished as required, headed Citizens
Ticket" and composed of the following:
For Mayor, J. l.. WeIshans; for Re-
corder, F. L. Weltzheimer; for council
men, C. S. Musser, J. M. Rush, DR.. G.
w. Banks, R. J. Hamrick and M. G.
Bast. No opposition ticket was certi-
Iceland up until Saturday there was
every evidence of walk-over.
Saturday another ticket was gotten
I'D, composed OF the following: For
Mayor, ]. H. Hill; for Recorder, ]. 5.
Rightstine; for councilmen, T. A. Car
ter, NJ. X. Hendricks, Vim. B. Snyder,
R. c.. Miller and Robert Gibson APP
parently it had no legal standing, but
Saturday night the town council met in
extra session and repealed the ordin-.
ance covering the election, thus restor-
ing the old-time status. There was
considerable discussion as to the
ethics of this action, and some dispute
as to its legality, but it went through
and the bars were let down. We
should not like to say that the advocates
of the new ticket electioneered on Sun
Day, but if they didn't they must have
worked real late Saturday night and
got at it again early Monday morning,
for they elected their ticket by an un-
paralelled majority. The vote was as
fellows.

Automobile Accident.

John Ambrose, who lives west of
Shepherdstown, was in rather bad
automobile accident yesterday morning,
while driving his Ford car on the turn
pike between Halltown and Charles
Town he came in collision with truck
and trailer belonging to Charles Weller,
of Charles Town, and driven by Frank
Carpenter. Mr.. Ambrose says that
the trouble was caused by the truck
being on the wrong side of the road.
The Ford car was badly demolished
and the machine generally wrecked.
Mr.. Ambrose had one Of his eyes pain
fully injured, but no one else was in
jured. The truck was carrying color
ed men to work in the Keystone quar-
rieS

We are informed that the defeated
candidates-or several of them-will
contest the election on the ground of
illegally of the ballots, and have en-
ployed Geo. M. Beltzhoover, Jr., OF
Charles Town, to carry the matter into
court. This is greatly to be deplored,
as it will undoubtedly result in strife
and i'll feeling and bring about useless
contention more easily begun than end
ed. The voters undoubtedly express
ed their opinion, whether they did it
according to law or not, and the people
generally will not approve of lament
ing further trouble.
