The Millinery Opening at p. A. Brugh's.

The millinery opening at p. a.
Brugh's on Tuesday was a grand sue
cess. The store was thronged all day
with ladies, most of whom went to in
spect the beautiful goods but many
made purchases The display was
magnificent, embracing bonnet and
hats both imported and homemade,
in all shades, colors and styles, from
the dainty little things not bigger
than your fist TO sizes as large as a
mans hat. The prevailing styles are
Torpedo and Toque, trimmed in Terra
Gotta, green in all shades, gobelin blue,
steel gray, canary and chocolate
brown.
There is considerable more of flow
ers than OF feathers in the make up,
and the ornaments are jet beads, steel
and gilt sprays.
The ladies were charmed with the
French bonnets, and many a sigh was
heaved when they gently laid them
down, knowing their purse was not
long enough to afford the luxury.
But there are plenty of handsome
American made bonnets that are
within the reach of all, and the lady
who cannot be suited at Brugh's will
hard to please indeed.
The rooms are in the rear of the
dry goods department and are especi-
ally fitted up for the purpose; the
front or show room is about 20 feet
square and has an abundance of light
to properly show the goods; it is car
peted, has a fine large mirror, and
around the sides is arranged a row of
handsome glass show cases, lined with
black velvet, in which is artistically
displayed the feathers, flowers and
ornaments that go to make up the
dear little head gear of the ladies. .
In the rear is the large workroom
which is presided over by two ladies
of excellent taste and judgment, one
being brought here from the city, and
who has reputation as a first class
artist in her line of business. We can
not describe the beauties of these
goods to the satisfaction of the ladies,
and we can only say, go and see for
-HagerStotoH NeioS.

The Canal MAY Make Money This Year.

The directors of the Chesapeake &
Ohio Canal met last week in Balti-
more, President Stephen Gambrill in
the chair The president read full
report of the financial condition OF
the company. When Mr.. Gambrill
took charge, on January 18th, the
floating debt of the company was, in
round figures, 100000. Since then
the expenses have been less than
under any previous administration.
The company was not able to go INTO
operation as early as usual, on account
of the bad weather in March. Since
navigation opened, 10000 tons of coal
have been transported, and 1t Is ex-
pected that at least 100000 tons will
be carried during the season. The
company believes it has enough
sound boats to carry 100000 tons this
wear. Messrs. Gambrill, Berret and
Mcclure recently went to New York
and had an interview with presidents
of the coal companies, who promised
TO give the canal more tonnage this
year. The officers of the company
say they hope to be able to run the
canal at profit this year, and are
satisfied they will do so if no unfore-
seen misfortune happens. The tolls
have been fixed at 40 and from Cum
berland to Georgetown and AleXan-
dria. and 30 and for coastwise.

Electric Liqht in Mqrtinsburq.

At a meeting of the Martinsburg
Town Council the Committee on Light
reported in favor of accepting the
proposition made by the Schryver
Electric Light Company to light the
streets. Also, to supply the Edison
light for inside purposes. After a
brief debate, the contract was ordered
to be complied with in ninety days.
\ number of private parties have or
dered lights, and will, after the intro
duction of electricity, do away with
the gas, for which they have been
paying 50 so per thousand feet. The
contract provides for 13 arc burners,
each of 1900 standard candle-power,
to burn every night and all night at a
cost of 81, 200 per annum, without any
additional expense to the corporation
for lighting or keeping in repair. 1t
is only intended to use the electric
light in that portion of the town now
lighted by gas, and not to substitute
it for the gasoline burners. 1t is
claimed that the 10 electric lights will
give as much light as the 80 gas jets
now in use. The cost of gas Is $3.50
per annum for II nights per month, to
burn until midnight.

RARE PSYCHOLOGICAL FIND"

Master Walter Pierce, a youthful but
Jealous antiquarian of this town, is in
possession Of relic that veteran curl
osity seekers may well envy young
novice 1t was his fortune TO unearth
it about mile below Shepherdstown
on high bluff on the south bank Of
the Potomac river In opening a
cairn containing bones of an aborigi-
nal and unquestioned valiant warrior
in one of the lumbar vertebre was
deeply imbedded a white flint arrow
head, which evidently passed through
the abdomen, and is conclusive proof
of the fatal and destructive mode Of
Indian warfare. There is tradition
that desperate battle was fought be-
tween the Susquehanna and Delaware
tribes near where this skeleton was
resurrected, and it is altogether posi-
bly, testimonial of that prehistoric
barbarous struggle when the imple-
ments of war We're the stone toma-
hawk, arrow head and scalping knife.
This specimen chronicles a thrilling
event of the stone age of America.

A Reported Find of Money.

Considerable interest was created
in Shepherdstown the latter part OF
last week by the report that a large
sum of money had been found on the
farm belonging TO the heirs of Mr..
John Cook near this place. 1t is said
that while young man named Domer
was blowing on Thursday the plow-
share turned up a wooden box. 1t
was carelessly thrown aside, but later
it was opened and tin box found in
side. The inner box was opened. and
the story says large sum of money
was found inside, also a gold watch.
There have been so many conflicting
yarns about the affair that it is hard
to say how much is true and how
much is false.

A Stern Reality.


A Shepherdstown young man being
called upon by his best girl to assist
her in hanging some window curtains,
dotted his coat and mounted a step
ladder. As the upper round was
reached he felt the seat of his trowsers
give away, and became greatly EN-
barrassed The lady noticing his
confusion, but not its cause, inquired
the reason, when he falteringly replied:
1T seems have burst n seam" Her
attention being thus attracted to his
uncomfortable plight, she promptly
replied: There is no seeming about
it; it is a stern reality and then, in
her turn. became embarrassed.
