by several parties and felled by stone in
thehands of some unknown party, where
upon he drew his revolver and fired in the
air. Mr.. George Stewart OF the National

The WeIsbach Company.

The Welsbach Incandescent Gas Light
Company is an assured success. Half the
stock has been taken and the subscribers
are among the solid men of the District.
Orders for burners, already received, it is
stated, are sufficient TO pay dividend on
the stock, and they are coming in rapidly.
Almost every one who calls at the eXhi-
bition rooms wants at least one burner,
while many leave orders to have their
whole houses fitted with them.

MARROW ESCAPE FROM A FEROCIoUs
BEAR.-Mr. James Probst of Hall
town, this county, started last Novem-
Der up the valley into Old Virginia to
trap and hunt for furs. He put up a
cabin for winter quarters. After COM
plotting the work he started out to set
traps for wild cats, bears, and other
animals. In about one weeks time
the traps were all set, one bear and
FIVE wild eats killed, and trapped six
teen bears, twenty-seven wild cats,
f0rty-0ne foxes, thirteen offers, seven
teen pole cats, thirty-one minks; 1.-THE
minks and offers captured on a small
stream running at the foot of the
mountain, not more than twenty feet
across at the widest places. On Feb
ruary oath he thought as game was
getting scarce he would stroll off to
some new hunting grounds. After
walking some ten miles along the
foot of the mountains, nothing occur
ring on his way except now and
then the crack of his rifle and down
would come wild cat. Finally, he
brought up at a point of rugged rocks,
where he beheld huge bear, weigh
ing near five hundred pounds, whose
eyes met his on turning this rocky
point, not more than twenty yards
away. Quick as thought he brought
his rifle to his face, the gun hung fire,
and Bruin made start toward him,
missed his aim and only made flesh
wound. Seeing the bear coming he
sprang for tree, rifle in hand, and got
up about seven feet, when the bear
with a terrible growl that fairly made
the mountain tremble, seized him by
the foot, like vice, so he had to come
down as quick as gravitation would
bring him.
In the twinkling of an eye he drew
a knife from its sheath, and with
well-directed blow plunged its twelve
inch blade just behind the shoulder
and cut her heart nearly in two, which
caused the bear to release its hold at
once. He got up and found an ugly
hole in his foot made by one of the
animals tusks, but the application of
some mountain oil, which he had with
him, soon took the soreness out. He
saw at once that the bear was sucking
cubs, after taking the hide off, and
then commenced looking for her den,
and in a few minutes it was found.
He started in and as it became dark, a
match now and then gave light enough
for him to crawl back about seventy
feet where he found the nest with two
cubs in it. After bringing them out
he tied up the cubs in the hide and
putting them on his back, started for
his cabin. He got back verv tired, and
after days rest set out for the near
est settlement, some twenty-five miles
distant, and shipped the cubs home,
where they can be seen at any time.
He received the congratulations of his
friends on his successful hunt.

GERMAN PROTESTANT MONSTER
IEs.-At the meeting of the German
Historical Society in Baltimore last
week, Col. Won Stamp read paper on
the German Protestant monasteries in
Pennsylvania. Tho monasteries were
founded abo' 80 years ago in the
CHAMBERLAIN ,nhe! i'a The Sieben-
tager," y ople VIM held services on
the seventh day of the week. The
Snow Hill Monastery is still occupied
by an old man and two old women.
The " Siebent@ger" originated from
the Dunkards. The latter were found
ed in 1908 by Alexander Max at
SchwarZeman, on the river Elder, in
Germany. They emigrated to Penn
sylvania in 1719, and formed settle
ment in the neighborhood of German
town. The first man baptised in this
country was Conrad Beissel, who was
also the founder of the monasteries.
He was born at Eberbach, Germany,
in 1886, and was baker by profession.
In 1925 he published paper which
caused much excitement in the congre-
cation. Accordingly he separated
himself from the members and lived
on the Cocalico Hill, where he was
soon joined by others. Beissel wrote
several books which were printed by
Franklin. In 1863 he wrote Der
Zionitische Weyhrauchshuegel," the
first book which was ever printed with
German types in this country. Beissel
died in 1868, and his successor was
John Peter Miller. The Snow Hill
monastery was founded by theSchnee-
berger family, and the old man who
is still living there bears that name.

SUNDAY AT MATINSBURG.

MARTINsBURG, w. VA, March IS.
This was the most beautiful day that
could be imagined. The sun shone
brightly, but there was sharp breeze
blowing, making the air just cool
enough to be pleasant. The country
people for miles around drove in to
listen to the preaching. Martinsburg
at any other time of the year may be
said to be town of many denomina-
tions. There are Baptists, Methodists
and Lutherans, but to-day the city was
a Methodist town. All the pastors of
the different churches invited the Wis
iting brethren to preach, and they all
accepted. The churches were crowd
ed. Every church that contained a
strange minister also held huge
crowd. Any one entering after eleven
was not able to find seat.
AT Trinity M. E. Church, South,
Rev. j. r. Andrew, pastor, Bishop
Alpheus w. Wilson preached to an
overlooking house. Many could not
obtain standing room. The Bishop
spoke an hour and twenty-five min
utes, making most powerful address.
His text was: Mark x, 35th to 41st
verses g And when James and John,
the sons of Zebedee, came unto Him,
saying, Master we would that Thou
shouldst do for us whatsoever we de-
sire," etc. AT the close of the sermon
he ordained class of six deacons:
Revs. Charles HI. Wood, T. J. Lam
bert, James M. Rowlings, S. A. Park
er, VIM. III. Ballangee, Christopher
Sydenstricker, Charles M. Bragg. At
night Rev. DR.. Rosser preached. At
the close of the sermon, Bishop Will
son ordained a class of elders Revs.

Trinity P. E. Church was consecra-
ted this evening. The services were
impressive. A number of clergymen
were present. The conservation SER

terkin. Rev. DIR. r. r. Davis, of
Leesburg, Va, a former pastor, preach
ed the sermon. Among the others in
the chancel were Rev. w. l.. Leavell,
of Hedgesville; Rev. l.. r. Mason, of
Shepherdstown; Rev. Dallas Tucker,
of Charlestown. and Rev. John S.
Gibson, of Smithfield, and r. D. Roll
Ter, the rector. After the conservation
services Bishop Peterkin also made an
address to the congregation. He re-
ferred to tie harmonious working of
the congregation with the rector, and
said they deserved credit for the sacri-
flee made by them in their endeavor to
pay the debt. Trinity church was built
in 1863 and rebuilt in 1913. Through
the efforts of the present rector it was
remodeled and rebuilt in 1888. The
debt is now paid off through his efforts
and the church is now consecrated,
Rev. Mr.. Roller leaves this charge to
go to Charleston, W. Va, the first
part of the month.
