SHOOTING MATCH.

The crack shots OF Carroll were taxing
down peg or two on Wednesday, by four
experts from Baltimore. The announcement
that $50 breech- loading gun would be con-
tested for at a glass ball shooting, drew to
Westminster quite a number of sportsmen
from various parts of Carroll, from Baltimore
county and Baltimore city, while number
from Westminster riskeG dollar and halt
zach in the scheme. Some sixteen entered
the contest, paying an additional fee OF three
cents for every ball shot at.
The contestants were Messrs. Wertner,
Fielis, Denny and Buckbee, of Baltimore, Ed.
| Gist, Robt Frizzell, Robert Gist, j. Milton
Reifsuider, and B. Reese, OF Westminster;
VIM. A. Shriver, of Avondale; Levi 1ost, OF
Melrose. r L. Root, of Middleburg; W..
Richards, of Hampstead Harry Arnold, OF
Mecbanicsville and H. Quicker, of Reisters-
! town. Root, Arnold and one or two others
took two chances.
The balls were thrown up by spring trap.
The Baltimoreans did fairly well, though no
extra shooting was done. The others were
nerhaps too timid and nervous in the presence
of the large crowd; while the reputation OF
the Baltimore quartet may have aided to make
| their aim unsteady. In addition the trap used
was not like the one they had been accustom,
| ed to shoot from. Root, who had defeated
all competitors in the western section OF the
| county, was way Ous cHiiNClt 'S-'@>''
r. Gist, Reese, Ed. Gist and Frizzle were
soon out of the contest. Quicker went out
on the first shots, and only Richards and
Arnold were left with good scores. On the
second round the Baltimoreans made short
work of the contest, Fielis and Denny taking
the first and second prize-the first prize be-
ing the gun, which Gist bought back tor SIS,
and The second being the entry fees for second
honor. 1t was an off day for the local marks
men.
After the sphere shooting, came pigeon
match. In this contest it was dollar to en-
ter and twenty cents for each pigeon shot at
miss and out-the winner TO take the money.
| Nine laid down their dollars, and in few
minutes more Wertner, of Baltimore, pocket
ed them, having won the match: Richards
proved strong competitor, and Wertner won
by good luck. One of Wertner's birds fell
lust within the bounds, and one of Richards
Just without.
The amber colored spheres were again tired;
for a purse. The entrance fee was small and
the contestant numerous, but again Baltimore
was successful.
The contest took place in one OF Col, Long,
wells fields, and the spectators numbered
about two hundred. The weather was de-
iiqbtful to all except the local marksmen-to
whom it was "a cold day." The Baltimore
| Gnn Climb were to have sent team to lamp
stead yesterday to contest in pigeon shoot

sHIPLEY ITEMS,

On Friday, the 18th inst. we were visited
by one of the heaviest raintalls since last
summer. The rain began to fall about four
O clock, D. M, and continued until late hour
in the night, with short intervals. The ground
was slightly thawed on the surface, and the
frozen strata beneath prevented deep. wash
outs. Many of the hillside grain fields were
completely hacked, leaving the surface very
Uneven for grass seeding in the spring. Joe,s
and Morganis valleys were again overloaded,
and, judging from the scattered debris along
said valleys, the water was very high;
The recent thaws have removed the snow
and ice from our fields. The grain, SO long
hidden from our view. seems to have been
doing well whilst thus protected from the
cold.
Monday evening last we were visited by a
storm from the southwest, which blew reg
MAR hurricane over and near our section, ac-
eompanied by considerable rainfall. In the
neighborhood of John c. Shipley',s, Lloyd b.
Sbipley's and Grove o. Easton's, near the
Washington road, one-half mile south OF Nor.
eanis Run valley, the storm was of sufficient
force to uproot several large trees which were
standing in the woods.

puRN1Ne OF THE CARROLL HOUSE,

About As n. m. on Wednesday last, Mr.,
George Smith. night operator in the telegraph
Office this city, discovered that the roof OF the
Carroll House was on fire. He Immediately
gave the alarm, and in few minutes the bell
on the engine house gave the fire signal, which
was followed by the ringing OF the Lutheran
and Catholic bells and the whistle OF the steam
mill of W. S. Myer Bro. The morning was
cold. with q raw northeast wind blowing,
which made it very uncomfortable for the
fremen, as well as to those citizens who had
I assembled to assist in case of necessity. The
| furniture of the lower floor was gotten out and
stored in place of safety, as was also large
part of that in the second story. At first 1t
was thought that the building would be com.
pletely destroyed, but our fremen soon bad
four streams PLAYING upon it, which stopped
| further progress. Fortunately the building
adjoining, occupied by Mr.. Christmas, and
the Albaugh building, are covered with TIN,
/ otherwise there might have been much
greater loss. The Carroll House stood on
the east side of the railroad, was log weather.
boarded structure, and was very eld, though
in excellent order. That portion OF the build
inc adjoining the house owned by Mrs. Ware
hime. and occupied by Mr.. Christmas as sa-
| loon. was built of brick. The Carroll House
| is owned by Mrs. Jane Butler, widow OF the
late DR.. Butler. and was insured in the Bati-
more County Co, for 4,4O0. Mrs. Green,
the lessee of the hotel, bad her furniture IN
| sured in the agency of Mr.. James E. Smith
for 81, 700.
AT the time of the FIRE there were twenty
persons in the house, fifteen of whom were
! boarders. All escaped with only slight loss
in wearing apparel.
Too much praise cannot be given to our
fremen. Notwithstanding many of them were
drenched by the water. their gum coats Gov
cred with ice and their gum boots filled with
water, they stood at their respective positions
until ordered to change by their toremen.
Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Green both desire. to
thank the firemen for their efforts in saving
their property from total destruction.
We hope all our citizens see the necessity
of encouraging the Water Company in their
efforts to give us good supply of water II
the city had been without an abundant supply
| of water on Wednesday morning, that portion
of it east of the railroad would have been the
scene of more disastrous confagration than
that in the west end on April 9, 1888.
