THE Big CAVE AT SHEPHERDSTOwN.-l
want you to tell that man Of the Shep-
herdstown Register that the next time he
humbugs me by column article in his
paper about the newly discovered cave be-
low that place, as to induce me to hard
walk to explore, what he made me believe
a cavern far surprising the great Luray,
III take him and pitch him headlong in
to the Potomac, so will. 1t turns out to
be nothing but n little old Musk Rat hole.
If it had been on the first Of April, would
have scored him one in the game; but rs
Al FOOLS day has passed for this year,
was not on the qui vive. | am bound TO
get even with little if it takes Inc \ year
to do it.
I@ The above was written by a
correspondent of Boonsboro, to the
Sharpsburg Enterprise, and there seems
TO be little mistake somewhere. But,
now, look here, Mr.. correspondent, you
certainly must have gotten into the
wrong hole. If you mean fight, just
waddle over this way, and let us know
when you are coming, the precise hour
and minute, and we'll be thar, and will
tackle on to you if you're as big as an
elephant. But We still insist that you
got in the wrong hole.

S. V. Il. R.-Six months ago, when
surveys were being made through this
county fort extension of the Shenan-
doah Valley railroad from the Potomac
opposite Shepherdstown, to this place,
and the statement was made that the
road-bed would be completed by the lst
of July, and trains he running by the
first of September it was regarded as
chimerical. Events have shown the
contrary. All the heavy work on the
road between these points is already
nearly completed. Monday last, one
half a mile south OF this town; the con-
Meeting rails with the Cumberland Val
lev railroad were laid, and, in few
DAYS construction trains will be at work
aiding in making the road-bed at this
end Of the line, and by the time the
grading is completed to the river the
track will be laid aud ballasted, and up
on completion of the bridge over the
Potomac at Shepherdstowp, which will
doubtless be accomplished by or before
the first of September, there will be
communication South from this place
through the rich Shenandoah valley to
Waynesboro', Augusta county, full $50
miles. The road connects here with
the Cumberland Valley railroad via
ChambeIsburg and Harrisburg to Phil
adelphia, and by the Western Maryland
road with Baltimore. A large force of
hands are actively employed along the
whole line, particularly upon sections
where heavy cuttings are encountered,
and these are but few, and the heaviest
are the approaches TO the river opposite

LOOKING FOR THREE MILLIONS Mr..
J. ID. Pencil, OF Newburgh, n. Y,
who has been investigating the dispo-
sition of the 23,OO0,OO0 estate OF the
late Thomas Powell, of Baltimore, who
died in 1916, reference TO which was
made in the Baltimore Gazette on the
23d of April last, was in that city few
days ago, and was much gratified at the
success he had met with in the various
counties of the State in which he had
travelled in pursuit of the desired infor-
nation. lie stated that after vigo-
rous and persistent search he has found
certificates of patents for land in Tai
bot, Worcester, Frederick, Queen
Anne's and Somerset counties belong
ing TO the estate in question that had
never been sold by legal authority, or
by the heirs or their representatives,
which arc now liable to be reclaimed
by those heirs. Although most Of
these lands have been settled upon the
occupants are liable to be required to
prove their titles, which if not issued
direct from the original patcntee by
parties having legal authority are in
valid, and an effort will at once be
made to dispossess them. Mr.. Pennell
also states that he has found where one
piece of property had been disposed of
and forged instrument called a deed
given, which, in fact, was nothing but
a description and boundary of a certain
tract, but that the party atfixing tie AS
sumed signature to the paper does state
that ''any title asked for further than
that may be had by application to the
undersigned" No record, however,
appears to show that any valid title has
ever been given. Among the results
of his vigorous search he has found one
tract of 200 and one of 40 acres 10
Somerset county, tracts of "a, PSI,
95 / 2, OIL and Sc acres in Queen Annes
comfy. tracts of 335, 503, 76 and 81
acres in Worcester county, tracts "
81 l-2 and AZ 1-2 acres in Talbot ceun5
ty, and tracts of so, 2l2, 2s2, acres il
Frederick county, oil OF which he
claims belong to the estate. In add.
ton to this he says several acres in
Worcester county under the title OF
"Wildcat Den" and "Powells Security
have been found which have changed
hands within the last decade under
spurious and faulty transfers, and that
he has the names of those who were in
strumental in the transfers. Mr.. Pen
nell, as attorney, expects at an early
day to call on The varions parties now
residing on the property and demand
possession, after which, if refused, legal
proceedings will at once be instituted.
lie says he has no desire to d'spossess
any of the occupants if an amicable
settlement can be made. Most of the
property he claims to be highly i'm
proved and very valuable. The search
will be continued until the whole estate
is discoyered.-Esderiek, Nd., Citizen.
