Ro.. Fleming Comnbarger.

1t is with painful feelings that we record
the death of this worthy lady. On the
9Th of March 1884 Rose Fleming, one
of the twin daughters Of Joseph s.
Fleming of this place, was married to
George Coffinbarger, young farmer
of this vicinity, and on the End instant
she died of typhoid pneumonia, leaving
an infant about month old, husband,
her devoted twin sister, other sisters,
brother, her parents and numerous
friends to mourn her untimely death.
The funeral services were held in the
Lutheran Church, of which she was
member, and were conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. d. NJ. Moser, and the remains
were inferred in Elmw God Cemetery
on Wednesday evening last, followed
to their last resting place by very large
number of relatives and friends. Mrs.
Coffinbarger was educated at Shepherd
College aud graduated in 1879 and is
the fifth one of the Alumni Of that in
sritution that has died since leaving the
school. She was quiet, diffident, and
retiring in her manners and will long
be missed by her relatives and friends,
who have the sympathy Of the whole
community in their sad bereavement.

4 Success.-The Sunday School
Missionary entertainment at the NJ. l..
Church South on Thursday night, 26th
ult., was, Notwithstanding the inclem-
ent weather, fine success. An appre-
ciatiye audience, which quite filed the
house, listened with evident interest and
pleasure to the recitations and songs BY
the children. The five languages were
well rendered, the German chorus
"Uber in das sprachan Land" sung
with spirit, and the song in Muskogee
Indian sung by Miss Ada Brotherton
with impressive effect. The In stru-
mental service was kindly furnished by
members of the Criswell Silver Cornet
Band. The contribution raised by the
noble efforts of the yourg people will
net $50 90.

rHR INAUGURATuON.

The Inauguration of Grover Cleve-
land as President Of the United States
was one of the most imposing ceremo-
mics which has ever been witnessed In
this country. The display Of military
and civic organizations, the attendance
of people. and all the incidents con-
nected with the affair were on scale OF
unparalleled magniflcence and great
ness. A half million persons-stran-
gers and citizens of Westinghouse no
extravagant estimate Of the extent OF
the crowd. The scenes in the city battle
description. Pennsylvania avenue was
one mass of people. The street, side
walks, houses, roofs, stands, trees and
even telegraph poles were occupied
whenever a footing could be obtained.
Nearly every house was gaily decorated
with flags and bunting, and the effects
produced on some of the larger build
ings were strikingly beautiful.
About ten o'clock procession was
formed to escort the Presidential party
to the Capitol. President-elect Cleve-
land, President Arthur, and Senators
Sherman and Ransom occupied one car
riage. and ice-President Hendricks
and Senator Hawley occupied another.
The procession moved to the Capital
amid the cheers of the thousands of
spectators. Arrived there, the oath OF
office was administered to Vice-Presi-
dent Hendricks in the Senate chamber.
The officials and dignitaries then pro-
ceeded to the stand on the East front Of
the Capitol, where the Inauguration
ceremonies took place. rs President
elect Cleveland stepped to the front
prolonged cheer broke from the fifty
thousand people In front of him. After
bowling few moments In response, he
made his inaugural address In the pres
ence of the vast multitude, speaking in
a clear, firm tone, and without any per-
ceptble appearance of nervousness. At
the conclusion of his address the oath
of office was administered by Chief-Jus-
tice Waite, and Grover Cleveland was
President Of the Uuited States.
After the inauguration ceremonies
the procession was formed and the Pres
idential party escorted to the White
House. This procession was three hours
in passing a given point, and was
magnificent spectacle. AS far as the
eve could reach, it gazed upon brilliant
banners, waving flags and glittering
bayonets, and it seemed as If there was
no end to the line. The military or.
CARNATIONS came first, followed by the
political clubs and societies, display
of firemen and their apparatus bringing
up the rear. At night there was a dis
play of fire work. which for beauty and
maynifiiceEce have probably never been
excelled in this country. The grand
ball at night was n great success. All
the appointments were magnificent in
the extreme and the scene was brill
liant one. From ten to twelve thousand
persons were present.

thence set fire to the dwelling-house.

We had a pleasant call last Saturday
from Messrs. Will Lambert and Dick
Staley, of the Shepherdstown Registers
force. They were here trying on the
Keller skates, and with Mr.. Will Crow,
made happy trio.
Mr.. Ed Smith fell from a house-car
last Saturday morning near Rollins
Water Station, on the line Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad. His knee was
badly sprained, and he received a rough
shaking up. 1t was narrow shave,
and we are glad to learn the accident
was no worse.
The Camden Light Artillery Company
made its first public parade here on the
2lst, last Saturday, notwithstanding the
slippery roads and pinching cold. They
presented a very handsome appearance,
in physique, marching and uniforms.
Mayor Lambert and Officer O'Neal
having heard rumors tending to show
there was dynamite in or about the
buildings at Eutzy's livery stable, made
a search Of the premises on Tuesday last
and found roll weighing about ~
pounds, in a trunk In the office. 1t
seems that one Of the young men had
hauled load of the terrible explosive
from Williamsport to the lime kiln OF
Baker Bros, where it is used by Super
intendent Thomas, together with a
steam drill, in blasting rock, and for
some purpose this piece had been kept
back. There should be some law passed,
making it criminal to keep this stuff Sc
cretly, and requiring dealers and those
having it stored to keep up danger sig
nails.

SeIbert's barber shop, which he said was
"Dan Cameron's old tailor shop"
From the inquiries he made about old

that 1t had been long time since he
was a citizen of this place. He was
loath to give his name and was evident

along German street he recognized
"Sh eetz's HOTEL" "Lane's Corner"
"John T. Cookus' store" (Rickard's),
in which he was once clerk, "Selby's
store" "Harper's store" and B. F.
Towner's.
He pointed out the spot where Adam
Licklider's shop and residence were,
now occupied by large pretentious
three story brick building, and called

when the people of these United States
will make choice of another Kepubli-
can President; and if President Cleve-
land Is as smart man as ! think he Is,
he will be our President the next eight
years, and his administration will prove
so profitable to all classes and conditions

am anxious to see the affairs OF our
country so conducted as to benefit all

these United States, wEite and colored,
have misled my people, and caused them
to work against their highest interests
to sustain them In getting and holding
offices. My people have been told (and
many of them honestly believed iD that
if the Democrats should get in power
they would deprive the negroes of their
freedom. am glad the time has come
when my people can see for themselves
the falsehood of their leaders.
