Death Loves n shining Mark

We are sorry to learn this week of the
death of Miss Josephine Morgan, which
occurred at her home at Gerardstown,
Berkeley county, on Monday last. Miss
Morgan will be remembered as a former
student of Shepherd College, who made
her home while here, at Mrs. Markell's.
She was OF tender frame and delicate
health while student here. and these,
with her amiable disposition, made her
friends in our midst who loved her for
her own sweet self. The family and
friends of the deceased have our sincere
sympathy and that of all her old ac-
quaintances in their sad bereavement.

House Burned.-On Sunday Ia

House Burned.-On Sunday last
the house on the farm Of Mr.. j. Calvin
Tabler, near Duffields, occupied by Mr..
George Coffinberger, was totally de-
stroyed by fire. Mr.. Coffinberger had
just left the house and was on his way
to town, when ibis attention was called
to the fact that.the roof was on fire. He
succeeded in getting nearly all his pos
sessions out of the house, although he
lost some meat, lard and potatoes, and
the clothing Of his sister was burned. 1t
is not known how the fire caught. The
house was insured by Mr.. G. l.. Barn
hart, of Duffields, the policy having
been renewed the Friday previous. This
house was an historic ole, it having
been built more than hundred years
ago by General narke, who lived in it for
a long time. 1t was most substantially
built of logs, and was weather-boarded.

Heavv storms.-The most severe

; Heavy Storm. most severe
storm of the season passed over this sec
ton last Monday afternoon. There was
q very heavy fall Of rain. accompanied
by violent wind, which fattened out
the growing corn 70 considerable ex-
tent. Fortunately no damage Of any ac-
count was done, although two locust
trees on the premises of Mr.. G. L.
Hodges were blown down. The storm
seemed to be very severe over In the
adjoining county in Maryland.
There was terrific cyclone in Phila-
delphia and Camden on Monday. Sew
eral steam boats were wrecked, hum
dreds of houses injured and destroyed,
and four persons killed and many
wounded. The loss to property is very
great.
Sunday evening there was tremen-
dous downpour Of rain in Western
Maryland and in Baltimore. In the
Middletown and Boonsboro districts
small streams became raging torrents,
and swept away fencing, outbuildings,
&C., and did much injury to the corn
crop. The roads were very badly washed.
The rain was very heavy in Baltimore,
and Jones' Falls again overflowed its
banks. There were a number of bad
washouts on the Western Maryland
Railroad, and trains were blockaded on
Monday for some time. The storm SEEM
ed heaviest in Frederick City. There
was an awful downpour of rain. About
midnight Carroll creek, which runs
through the city, overfiowed its embank-
ments, and the bells were rung to alarm
the people. Soon part of the city was
flooded, the waters rising nearly to the
intersection of Market and Patrick
streets, the main thoroughfares, tearing
up the pavements in their mad course
at many places, and making channels
through cellars and under houses, surg
ing through passages, flooding the lower
stories and making drift-wood of furni-
ture, and doing much damage in some
of the stores. Few of the people antici-
pated the possibility of such an occur
renee. In consequence number OF Ia
dies were rescued at considerable peril,
being carried out upon the shoulders OF
men. To augment the difficulty of ac-
ton it was very dark and rain still pour
ing necessarily, the only light being af-
forded by the frequent flashes Of light
ming. 1t was impossible to make any
attempt to save store goods, quantities
of which became total wreck and were
buried in mud. The loss in Frederick
is estimated at $4,000.

Accidenf.-Last Saturday Mr.. VIM.
ii. Billmyer met with Il rather severe
accident, caused by runaway horse.
DIR. A. S. Reynolds had driven to Mr..
Billmyer's farm, and after hitching his
horse had taken the bit from its mouth.
Mr.. Billmyer, not knowing this, got
into the buggy and started to drive to
town The horse became frightened
and started off at lively rate. Mr..
Billmyer had no control whatever of the
animal, and as it turned n corner, going
at very swift pace, the buggy was
overturned and the occupant thrown
out and dragged considerable distance.
He sustained some severe cuts and
bruises and received a general shaking
up. The buggy looked as though it had
been in cyclone.

DIR. VIM. Neill umpired the game in
the fairest possible manner, and the Po-
tomacs express their thanks to him for
his uniformly just decisions.
The Charlestown club was determined
that the Shepherdstown club should not
carry off the honors and the ball too.
Therefore they pocketed the ball which
had been won from them, and would
not give it to the victors. OF course our
boys did not dispute the matter.
Referring to the style in which the
Shepherdstown club beat the Charles
town Club the Free Press says: If the
Shepherdstown boys "want the earth, y
they can get 1t by calling for it.
Brother Bedinger was full of enthusi-
asm up to the sixth inning. After that
he didn't even "make an effort"

Another Game WOn.-The Poto

Another Game WOn.-The Poto-
mac Base Ball Club of Shepherdstown
went down to Charlestown on Tuesday
last to play match game with the club
of that place. The result was a complete
victory for the Shepherdstown boys,
the score being II to II in their favor.
The game was a very interesting one,
and was witnessed by a big crowd Of
Charlestown folks and about dozen
enthusiastic Shepherdstowners. At one
period of the game it looked as though
the visitors were gone up the flume, but
in the sixth inning they got safely ahead
by making eleven runs. Mr.. Drew Mid
dleton pitched another splendid game
for the Shepherdstown club. He struck
out 81 men, and there were but base
hits made off him. He was well sup
ported by w. c. Lambert for three in
nings and ii. L. Hout for the other six.
Mr.. c. Mcknight pitched for the home
team. He struck out II men and had z
base hits made off of him. He was sup
ported in good style by Messrs. Dunlap
and Hopkins. Harry Wintermoyer, of
the visitors, made the best hit of the
game; it was fine three-bagger to left
field. DR.. Long, of Charlestown, made
a clever one-hand fly catch. The boys
who played on the Shepherdstown club
were Harry Smooth, Drew Middleton,
Harry Entler, d. X. Fayman, Ii. l..

profit on what we sell Except on some lines
where the profit is 80 modest that II is out OF
our sight. .f-- ....
S-We aim to tell the simple truth about our
goods. Oyerpraise may make one sale, but
how about the next? We want TO keep our

i've watch the market closely and keep
on hand the freshest and newest styles.
5-We have one price for all. Your little
