Monuments at Antietam.-A


nephew of General Mansfield recently
visited the battlefield of Antietam to
discover, if possible, the exact spot
where his uncle fell in that engagement,
with the object of erecting handsome
monument there to his memory. The
testimony Of ex-soldiers and residents
was conflicting as to the precise spot,
but they all agree upon portion of q
field near the Thinker church woods.
He then went to see Mr.. George Line in
order to obtain some mementoes of his
death, such as furniture from the room
where he died. In this he was totally
unsuccessful, as the house was long
since destroyed ard Mr.. Line was UNI
able to say what had become Of any of
the furniture of that particular room.
Lieutenant Thomas McCamant, late
of the 125th Pennsylvania Regiment,
was also at Antietam on Friday, and
spoke of project by that regimental as
ISOLATION Of a monument to be erected
on the spot where their colonel fell.
The plan that has been adopted at Get
tysburg of erecting monuments where
prominent officers were killed and to
mark the stations of various organiza-
tons in the line of battle may yet he
adopted on the Antietam battlefield.
At least it is hoped so, as they will add
greatly to the attractireness of the field
and afford much satisfaction TO eX-sol-
diers and their friends who may visit it
in the future.-HagerStopn Herald.

At Last.-Mr. BeltZhoover was in
formed on Monday last that the Board
of Regents had appointed Messrs. Wool
ter and Bush as teachers in Shepherd
College for the next session. Mr.. Bush
is the same person that was appointed
assistant last year and declined. He is
from Morgantown, West Virginia. 1t
is now two months since the last COM
mencement and within one month of
the opening Of the next session of the
College, and the teachers have just
been appointed. Such negligence and
delay on the part of those having Off
cial charge Of the school is inexcusable
and works great injury TO the school.

Cause of Ice Cream Poisoning.

Persons have been poisoned by ice
cream in different parts of the country
during the season. The aggravating
cause has been attributed to different
sources, such rs the flavoring extracts,
freezers, etc. DR.. A. G. Vaughan, of
Ann Arbor, Michigan, has examined a
specimen of ice cream which recently
poisoned number of persons ut Newton
in that State. He reports that he has
discovered that tyrotoxicon, the active
agent in poisonous cheese, which he dis
covered some time ago, was also present
in ice cream, and was the cause Of the
sickness. A medical journal states that
"this proved that tyrotoxion is due to
the decomposition of milk, and may be
developed in any milk which is kept in
an impure atmosphere or unclean ves-
sells. The germ seems to multiply very
rapidly, ard small amount of tainted
milk will poison whole can. 1t is DR..
Vaughan's theory that tyrotoxicon has
much to do with cholera infantum, the
symptoms of which are similar to the
symptoms of cheese poisoning"

West Virginia Notes.

The ginseng crop of West Virginia,
last year, reached the handsome sum OF
$3.50, 900.
There are 1924 postmasters in West
Virginia. Of these, 5l2 were changed
during the fiscal year ending June 30.
Mr.. Geo. w Reynolds, Of Taylor coun-
ty, has already shipped to the Eastern
market this season 1000 lambs, and ex-
poets to close out a full shipment Of
10 900 for the entire season. The lamb
trade in this section is now more prof
liable than the cattle business for the
reason that the West does not and can
not compete with the East in sheep
raising Grafton Sentinel.
Edward Phast, young farmer Of
Tucker county, occupied q box car at
Grafton Friday night with an unknown
tramp. About daylight the tramp, who
coveted a roll Of money and gold
chain that Phast possessed, brutally as
saulted him. Forcing him to the floor
OF the car he chewe9 off his left ear, q
part Of his cheek, and piece Of his
nose, mutilating the whole face in a
shocking manner. He :hen took the
valuables and escaped. He will cer-
tainly be lynched If caught by Phast's
friends, who are on his track.
Reports from Romney, this State, tell
OF another homicide near that place.
On Sunday morning a young unmar-
ried woman named Ann Offner, living
on the farm Of her father, Reuben OF
ner, three miles east Of Romney, shot
with a pistol Benjamin Brooks. The
ball entered his head, killing him in
stantly. IL is claimed that Brooke first
threatened to kill the woman. Miss
Offner is in Jail, and it is said admits
the shooting. Brooks was resident OF
Romney, aged about 45, and leaves q
wife and children. He has not borne q
good reputation.
Clay Mays, OF Mason county, this
State, and a Mrs. Lovegrove, neigh
Dor, have for some time excited the gos-
sip in that vicinity by the attention he
paid her, and which she accepted. FL
nally, the talk reached the woman's
husband, and he ordered Mays never
again to set foot on his premises. Mays
continued to make clandestine visits to
Lovegrove's house. and Sunday when
the latter returned home he found Mays
standing in the door with a self-cocking
revolver. Lovegroye had a broom In
his hand, and he showed Mays away,
when the latter fired, the ball striking
Lovegrove in the head, killing him in
stantly. Mays was arrested, and is In
jail at Point Pleasant. The residents OF
the neighborhood demand his immedi.
ate trial. This is the third murder in
that county in year, and all the muir
derers are now in Jail.

sasebaII.-The baseball game al

BasebaIl.-The baseball game at
Shepherdstown last Saturday between
our home club and the Martnsburg club
was something like the handle of jug
ALI on one side. The visitors just
walked away with our boys, and when
the glittering orb of day was slowly
sinking in the western horizon the score
stood % to 10. The Martinsburg club
is one of the best that has ever played
here. There was not a weak place in it.
They won the game by good playing,
and no one can get around that fact.
Our boys did the best they could, but
they were too much out Of practice to
win. We understand that return
game will be played soon at Martinsburg.
The visiting club is composed Of very
clever and gentlemanly young men,
and the only thing We have "agiu 'em"
is that they beat our Boys. Mr. Louis
Gerhart umpired the game fairly and
satisfactorily.

Severely Burned.-Mrs. AleXa

Severely Burned.-Mrs. AleXan-
der Elliott was painfully burned on
Tuesday evening. She was trying the
old experiment of kindlinR the fire with
the aid of coal oil, and after having
poured the oil on the wood, set the can
on the stove hearth. When she applied
a match, the fire burst out, igniting the
oil in the can, which burst with loud
explosion. and scattered the contents on
Mrs. Elliott, setting fire to her clothes.
Messrs. r. L. Minor and John Sayles,
hearing the explosion and her screams,
ran in and succeeded in putting the
fire out, but not before she had been Sc
yerely burned about the stomach and
breast. Her arm was also badly cut by
the flying pieces of glass from the can.
DR.. McSherry was called In aud ID do
ing all that can be done to relieve the
unfortunate woman, but her condition
is considered Observation-Disclosures

Iigh,ning's Destructive Work

One of the most terrible thunder
storms OF the season occurred last FRI
day night. The wind blew perfect
gale. the rain fell in torrents, and the
lightning was incessant and vivid. The
storm was general throughout the East
ern States, and caused great damage
everywhere. About midnight the barn
of Mr.. Emanuel StaleY, who lives about
three miles east of Shepherdstown, was
struck by the lightning and entirely
consumed, together with its contents
and several stacks of wheat adjoining.
Mr.. Staley and his wife discovered the
flames almost as soon as the barn was
struck, and ran out of the house and
tried to save what they could. Mr..
Staley pulled buggy from the barn,
and in taking it down hill he stumbled
and fell. Tie buggy ran over him, dis
abling him 80 that he was unable to
make any further efforts. Mrs. Staley
also fell down and sprained her wrist.
A number of the neighbors arrived on
the scene, but the flames were so far
advanced that it was impossible to save
anything. Besides the barn about 6Oo
bushels of wheat was destroyed, large
quantity of hay, family carriage, a
buggy, a wheat fan, horse-rake, wheat
drill, plows, harness, and a number CT
other articles, and there was not cent
of insurance on anything. A calf was
also burned to death. Mr.. Staley's son,
Mr.. Allan Staley, was farming part of
the land, and the loss falls heavily on
him. Both gentlemen have the sympa-
thy of the community in their misfor-
tune. The entire loss is estimated at
between 81 800 and s1,70o.
About the same time-in fact, both
barns were burning at the same time
the large bank barn of Mr.. Daniel w.
Barkdoll, near Smithsburg, Nd, was
destroyed by the same cause. A large
quantity of wheat and hay, together
with all of his farming implements, one
COW, five calves and several sheep were
consumed with the building. The loss
will amount to several thousand dollars,
on which there was an insurance of
$4,000.
The Martinsburg Statesman says that
lightning struck the barn of Mr.. j. E.
Boyd, Jr., on Monday Of last week, but
fortunately did not set it on fire. Four
colored men were inside at the time,
having taken refuge from the rain, and
were all more or less stunned.

proposed Concert, mentioned, by you, is
for the benefit of the Young Mems Chris

am not at all in sympathy with that
organization, but rather regard ii, if /
may be permitted to use the term, as a

Proud Father.-Mr. David Cos
sard, residing at Ash, this county, was
IN Hagerstown on Saturday. He was
so overjoyed at an event which occurred
at home few days previous that he was
only content with communicating the
particular. 10 his old and new friends.
The event in question was the birth of
the twenty fourth child, and who has
already been named Frances Folsom
Cleveland Gossard, the happy father
being a strong admirer Of the President
and Mrs. Cleveland, in whose honor the
new arrival was named. Number
twenty-three was boy, and to him was
given the name of Grover Cleveland, so
it will be seen, 80 far as Mr.. and Mrs.
Gossard are concerned, the name OF
Cleveland will not soon expire. There
are of children in the family fifteen
boys and nine girls, fourteen of whom
were by Mr.. Gossard's first wife and ten
by the present wife. We are not otfici-
ally informed, but are warranted in
prophesying that should the population
of Ash continue to increase in the Same
proportion it will not be long until it
will be rated as a first-class postoflicc.-
