Public hearing on taxi rates stalls move to cut fares
Officials from several taxi firms told the Special Aldermanic Committee they lose money at current rates and that lower fares would drive them out of business. Kayton Taxicab and Garage Co said six weeks at half-rate lost 5500 on 40 cabs while Northbound trips yielded few returns. Hart, an independent, tried 30 cents for half mile and 10 cents for quarter mile but returned to higher pricing.

Kills Politician in Road at Antietam
Charles W Adams 70, superintendent of the National Cemetery at Antietam, was shot in the Sharpsburg to Burnside Bridge path by Charles W Benner of Sharpsburg, who then killed himself. The motive, a grudge over Adams testimony to a court years ago, is cited. Adams served as a doorkeeper in the Fifty first Congress and was a prominent Washington County figure. Benner, 55, also from Sharpsburg, took his own life after the shooting.
