THREE BAD ACCIDENTS MONDAY.

John Snyder, an aged resident OF
Shepherdstown, met with a serious &C.
cident last Monday afternoon. He
had gone with Geo. w. Sanbower
down the river road for a load OF
straw, and had climbed on top of the
load for the return trip home. He
lost his balance some way, and fell TO
the ground, injuring himself very bad
ly. He was brought to his home in
this place and Dr.. Burwell was sum-
moned to give him surgical attention.
He found that the unfortunate man
had broken two of his ribs and sus-
tanned a bad fracture of the collar
bone-indeed, the bone had been torn
from its connections and was in such
condition that il will be a long time
in healing. He may not recover, IL
complications set In. Mr.. SNYDER
has been a victim of good many
misfortunes. A few years ago one OF
his hands was ruined when he caught
II in circular saw near town, and he
has. had practically no use of his arm
since that time. The injury of Mon
day effects the same arm that was hurt
before. He is government pen
sioner.
An awful accident occurred last
Monday afternoon about 3 O'Clock at
the quarries of the Standard Lime and
Stone Company at KearneySville, by
which Earl Welsh, aged about p
wears, son of Thomas Welsh, lost his
right arm. The young man was run
ming drilling machine, which is used
TO put down the holes in the limestone
rock. In reaching across the ma
chine to oil one of the parts his arm
caught in set of cog wheels and was
drawn into them almost up to the
shoulder before the machine could be
stopped. He was held so tightly by
the cogs that he could not be ex-
tricated until the machine was taken
apart, and when this was finally done
II was found that the mangled arm
was hanging only by shreds Of lead
ers. Carl Fleming got his automobile
and took the unfortunate young man
to the Kings Daughters Hospital in
Martinsburg, where his injuries were
attended to.
Elijah McAllister, young man
from Shenandoah, Va, was the victim
of bad accident at Shenandoah Junc-
tion last Monday. He was employed
in gang of workmen who have been
making repairs at the water tank and
coal chute Of the Norfolk & Western
Railway at the Junction, and in help
ing to handle a heavy piece of lum-
Der it fell upon his leg and drove the
bones in his ankle against each other
with such force as to cause a very bad
fracture. DR.. Burwell was called from
Shepherdstown and gave him surgical
aid, and later the young man was ta-
ken TO Shenandoah on the evening
train. His injury is a serious one
and may result in a stiffened ankle.

State Police On the Job.

The Department of Public Safety
of West Virginia has sent three men,
bers OF its State police force to Berke-
ley county to work under the direction
of Prosecuting Attorney Allen B. Noll
in an effort to break UP various forms
of criminality that have been pre-
valent in Martinsburg and Berkeley
county. Beetlegging and thieving
will receiving special attention.
The State officers proved their
worth on Monday last, when they cap
tured James Meadows, who is regard
ed as professional chicken thief and
all-around bad man. He has been
wanted for many months but the local
police were always too slow to catch
him. They had him almost in their
clutches frequently, but he easily out
ran them and laughed at their futile
efforts. Monday the State police were
informed that Meadows was at a GER
tain house and they went after him.
When he saw them coming be made
his usual break to got away, running
ike a deer and jumping over two
fences. When he landed over the
second fence State Policeman John M.
Rogers was on top of him, and he was
soon in Jail. 1t is believed by the
harassed people of Martinsburg that
the State officers will put an end to the
numerous robberies and other Of
fenses against the law which the local
Policemen have been utterly unable
TO prevent.

Concerning Sale Bills.

The season of public sales is now
at hand, and the Register would call
the attention Of those who intend to
have sale to its facilities for doing
this sest-ofa work in the most salts
factory manner. We assert without
reservation that the sale bills printed
by this Office are the best that can be
gotten up in this section OF the coun-
". They are large and snowy, well
printed on heavy paper of assorted
colors, and make very attractive ap-
pearance. An advertisement in the
Register will reach not only the peo-
pie of Jefferson county, but will cover
considerable portion Of Berkeley
county ami Washington county, Md.
Our circulation is extensive in these
'hree counties, and this fact insures
good advertising. The paper that
goes into the homes Of the people is
the one in which it viii pay to ad-
vertise. Prices are reasonable. The
Register makes a special effort to do
its sale printing accurately, and
spares no pains TO give satisfaction to
those who favor il with their work.

A LIVELY HEARING.

Last Monday was a big day In.
Boonsooro, when the Public Service
Commission of Maryland conducted a.
nearing upon the application of e. v.
nun Tor permission to continue his
ous service over the Maryland roads.
for the past year or two Mr.. Hull has
conducted very efficient and popular
ous lines between Shepherdstown.
Sharpsburg, Keedysville. Boonsboro
ands Hagerstown. When he sought a
renewal OF his license az the begin
ming OF this year he was confronted
with an objection raised by the Ha-.
eerstown and Frederick Trolley Com
pany, which took the ground that he
mad no right to compete with the troll
icy company in carrying passengers
between Boonsboro and Hagerstown.
His license was refused until the mat
ter could be settled and his bus lines
suspended operations.
Immediately mighty protest went
up from the people who were accom-
inoaatea oy the service. Workmen
VINO used the busses TO carry them TO
ana from their work in Hagerstown
were indignant, and the people eener-
ally who appreciated the convenience
OF the service began fight. The
public Service Commission announced
that Il would hear the matter in
Boonsboro on Monday, and at the an
pointed time three or four hundred
men and women from all along the
line, including contingent from
Shepherdstown, were present.
Inc nearing was held In the Red
mems hall, which was packed and
jammed. Leo Weinberg, a Frederick
attorney, represented the trolley com.
pany, and he proved by Superins
tendent Smith that the company was
losing money on the operation of its
Boonsboro line. He argued that the
stockholders of the company had a
right to protection from the competi-
ton that would reduss its revenues 10
an Improbable figure.
Attorney Cleveland Gricc represent
ed Mr.. Hull, and he had scores Of
willing and anxious witnesses to tcs-
ufy in favor OF continuance of the
service. Everybody was strong for
the busses-and how they did knock
the service OF the trolley companyl
Nobody had good word for il. and
the crowd cheered the points made by
Mr.. Grice and his witnesses so en-.
Enthusiastically the presiding officer
mad to threaten to adjourn the hearing
unless they kept quiet. II was the
most unanimous aggregation we have
ever seen. After the. bus people had
put II all over the trolley company the
hearing ended, with the promise that
decision would be rendered next
day. Tuesday morning the commits
sion announced that Mr.. Hull was
entitled to continue his bus lines.
and SO the tumult has been stilled. ne
will renew his regular runs and in ad-
dltion will put on fine bus to make
a daily trip between Hagerstown and
Baltimore, with connection from
Shepherdstown at Boonsboro.

The Census Is Moving Along.

The census enumeration for the
second West Virginia district is NOV
ong satisfactorily, and Supervisor
W. ]. Knott expects TO have reports
from all the counties in the near flu
ture. H. L. Wintermoyer, who took
the census in Shepherdstown. was the
first enumerator 10 finish his work
md make report. Miss Towsend, who
took the census in Martnsburg
ward, also finished her work on Mon
day. Three districts in Berkeley
county were without local enumer-
ators, as nobody wanted the Job, and
Supervisor Knott sent h r. p. Jacobs.
Lester E. Staley and Walter Knott
from this vicinity to do the work He
will also have to send Jefferson coun-
iy men to Hardy, Ticker and Grant
counties, whers there IS a scarcity of
enumerators. From every section of
he State come reports OF an made
quate force of enumerators, it being
impossible to secure men at the rate
allowed by the government.
The population of Shepherdstown
is given as 1862, or eight less than
the census ten years ago. This is the
number of residents within the cor
porate limits. The people living on
Prospect avenue and other parts Of
what is known as "The Boom" as well
as those Of RAYS Addition and other
contiguous territory, are not included
in the towns total. which means prob
ably a loss of several hundred OF our
real population.

Another Fatality At Kearneysville.

There was another fatal accident
at Kearneysville last night, the victim
being Boyd Ramsburg, young man
who worked for C.. w. Blue near that
place and whose home was near
Winebrenner's Cross Roads. The
last that was seen Of young Ramsburg,
who was 10 years old, was when he
left the home Of Charles Turner, at
the quarries, about 1890 O'Clock and
started to walk along the railroad
tracks toward home. About 3 o'clock
this morning Signalman Butts, who
was walking along the tracks, found a
rolled up bundle OF clothing and hui
man flesh between the tracks at
Irump's crossing. Proceeding fur
ther he found part Of mans head
and an arm at the crossing at Kear-
neysvil'e. Parts OF the torn bits OF
humanity were found frozen TO the
tracks by the CONCEALED blood, and the
only way that Identification was made
was by finding a watch and locket that
was owned by young Ramsburg. No
body known how or by what train the
poor fellow was killed, as no report
had been made by any train men OF
the occurrence. II was evident, how
ever, that he had been thrown under
a train on the east-bound track right
at Kearneysvilie, and part OF bis body
carried on to the TRUMP crossing. Z II
is said by those who viewed the re-
mains that it. was the worst mutilated
body they had ever seen. Coroner
Herbert c. Miller is to hold an inquest
today. The young man was a son Of
the late Henry Pamsburp.l : and ---his
mother is Mrs. Frank Pennington. He
formerly lived on the Mizzey farm.

CRIMINALS

II anyone will go into, say prison
dining room, where all the inmates are
in assemblage, they will observe by
very external indications that very rev
are normal beings.
That there Is good excuse for their
being in some institution, and even
though this particular institution may
not be the right one nor conducted
along right lines.
Broadly speaking, criminals can be
divided into three Glasses:
There are those IN the inciplent
stage and who can be treated by a
court probation officer, as In the case
of temporarily derarged persons who
can be treated at home under the Cd
seryation of a physician.
There is the criminal who may need
temporary restraint in an institution
while under treatment.
Then there is the habitual criminal.
the incurable. and who requires per-
manent restraint.
The object in the treatment OF GRIM
inals is to restore them to citizenship
full economic units of security where
possible and, il not. TO restrain them
where they will not be a menace to
society.
Punishment is of no value in the
treatment Of criminals-that is, pun
ishment for the sake of punishment.
That we, the public, are taking this
view is proven by the fact that the
opinion is finding it's way into legisla-
ton for the construction and recon-
struction of our prisons to a combina-
ton of agricultural and industrial in
stitutions for correction, education or
restraint.
