e.,;ou. f,ncos on ON Excursion Train

A Serious FrdcdS on ON EICWSfo" 'e'
A serious affray occurred last Satur-
day on the excursion train OF the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad on its re-
turn trip from Pen-Mar, and, rs Is us
ually the case, whiskey was at the bot
tom of the trouble. When the tram
left Hagerstown the row was starred.
A half dozen white men from up the
road were drunk, and a negro main ed
George Martin. from Bentonvllle, Va,
was not only drunk but well armed In
the bargain. The negro and the
drunken white men engaged in hght,
when the former drew a revolver ana
threatened to shoot. AS may be Ill
agined. this fight caused a great COM
motion on the train. Many women
and children were aboard, and natu-
rally they were badly frightened. The
train was stopped and the negro was
put off. He then ran to the the front
of the train and clambered on the pi-
lot of the engine, where he lay with
his revolver cooked and ready 10 shoot.
Conductor Frank Cord and the other
train men went after him. Charles
Underdonk engaged to help capture
the desperate, and all hands started
forward. Mr.. Underdonk threw a
stone at the negro, and very promptly
n bullet whistled past his ear. Then
Conductor Cord let fire a good-sized
stone and struck Martin back OF the
head, knocking him off the engine and
over the embankment. The negro
fired again. and Conductor Cord says
he felt the bullet close to his face, but
fortunately escaped being hit. The
negro then started to run, threaten
inc the crowd with his revolver, and
the last seen of him he was running
up the county road a hard as he
could with the blood pouring from his
wounded skull. The train then start
ed of. but the white fellows who were
drunk persisted in their rutlianlsm,
until Shepherdstown was reached,
when the ring-leader was put of and
the train proceeded on its way. 1t
was very fortunate no more serious re-
suits occurred. for the drunken ruff
fans and the reckless use of firearms
endangered the lives of the passengers
to an alarming degree The Shep-
herdstown people were truly thankful
when they got OFF the train. Conduc-
tor Cord displayed great nerve i'll deal
ing with the rioters, and deserves
great credit for his prompt and cour-
ageous action. The negro Martin, so
far as we have learned, has not been
arrested, but it is hoped that he will
be caught and severely punished.

A Break in the Dam.

The flood in the Potomac last week
caused some damage at the Potomac
Cement Mill below Shepherdstown.
The water tore II break in the dam
across the river at that point about
thirty feet long and apparently eX-
tending to the bottom of the river.
Part of the sheeting on the race wall
adjoining the mill was also torn off,
but that can be easily repaired. The
water rushes through the big break
with great rapidity, and will have the
effect of lowering the water above the
dam very materially unless it is re
paired.
