GLASS SAND In M0RGANTOWN.

The men working for Manager
Grant of the Union Improvement
Company, in digging the ditch for
the water pipe last week in the
street opposite the residence of NJ.
M. Dent, came across quite a deposit
of the rock known DIS glass sand rock.
1t is supposed that this is the point
where Decker's creek entered the
river where in past ages the bed of
the river was on the first terrace or
bench above where If now is, and
above the major part of where Nor
gantOwn now stands. 1t Is quite a
curiosity to see these water worn
stones and pebbles, and to wonder
how many thousands of years it has
been since the Decker's creek waters
brought them from their original
bed. What the biologists say must
be true as to this deposit, because
there is no other stratum of sand
stone Inc this neighborhood of this
character but the glass sand rock in
Sand Hill, and no other way for it to
get where it is now but by the force
of Decker's creek.-Morgdatoica Post.

HE STORY OF CALVIN FAIRBANK.
MAN WHO ONCE SAVED A BEAUTI.
Full GIRL FROM SLAVERY NOW IN
b POVERTY.

The Rev. Calvin Fairbank is now
living in Angelica, Allegheny county,
broken in health and very poor. He
will be remembered rs one of the
heroes of the antislavery contest.
About the year 1910, while n teacher
in Kentucky school, he was appealed
to by a beautiful Ngirl to save her.
Upon learning her history he found
she was the daughter of a wealthy
Shareholder by slave mother. Her
father had allowedher to be taught
at home, and she had proved an apt
scholar and was far in advance of
the other daughters in the home, and
the wife demanded Of the husband
that she should be sold south. She
was extensively advertised, and, on
account of her beauty Of person and
accomplishments, bidders were
promised from hundreds Of miles dis.
tant. Upon Fairbank listening to
the history and appeal OF the slave
girl to save her he set out at once for
and laid the matter be.

wood, the great abolitionists OF that
day in Cincinnati. They raised
$500 and sent him to Salmon p.
Chase. He gave 5000 aud took
Fairbank to old Nicholas Longworth.
He listened to the story and sat down
and wrote out a check for $1,000.
Chase, HARDWOOD and Coffin then met
and pledged s., 900 more Unnecessary.
Fairbank got back in time for the
sale and bid the girl in for 81 ,4S5.
The poor girl at the last stroke of
the auctioneer's hammer tainted
dead away, not knowing whether
she had been saved or was the prop
erty OF gay Erenchman from New
Orleans who had boasted what he
would do with her. To make the
story short, Mr.. Fairbank took the
girl to Cincinnati, freed her, and she
was made the adopted child OF
Gamaliel Bailey. the editor of the
National Era. 1t was not generally
known that she had any African
blood in her veins, and she entered
a young ladies seminary and gradu.
ated with great honor. From that
time on Calvin Fairbank was a
marked man in the eyes of Kentucky
slave holders. He was imprisoned
in the penitentiary Of Kentucky and
Iashed nearly unto death, under the
charge of aiding slaves to escape.

NO. 40.

HAGERsTowN, Aug. G.-The affray
in the quiet little village of Letters
burg. ? miles from Hagerstown. on
Saturday night, which eliminated on
Sunday in the death of Robert B.
Slick. aged thirty years and married,
has caused considerable excitement in
the neighborhood. The fatal knife
wound was inflicted in the side by
Michel Zimmerman, mere youth,
being aged twenty years, and appar-
emily with no provocation. The gen.
eral interest In the ease was increased
yesterday by the arrest of VIM. Riley
as an accessory in the case with Zim-
norman. Both of the accused are in
Jail here and will have preliminary
hearing tomorrow.
This murder calls to mind one that
was committed in the same town dur.
ing the early part of the war and
which was marked with unusual
cruelty. A number of Union cavalry
men, while out foraging, seized a
number of farmers horses. A mere
boy--Edward Gladfelter-remonst
ed with the men, three of whom
Abraham Coon, Lindsay Farhney and
John Riley-took the lad prisoner and
compelled him TO run for several
miles in front of their horses. They
were heedlessto his appeals TO let him
have a drink of water. The day was
very warm. and when he fell from ex-
haustion they riddled his body with
bullets and rode off, leaving the corpse
lying on the road.
The matter was brought to the at
tention Of the military authorities, who
promptly surrendered the men to the
civil authorities. The accused were
tried in the court Of Washington coun-
ty In this city. Riley, who 1t appears
had shown some mercy to the unfor-
tunate boy, was convicted of man
slaughter and sentenced to sixteen
years in the Maryland penitentiary.
The other two men were convicted of
murder and sentenced TO be hung, but
through the interference of a promi-
nent Methodist minister the sentence
was commuted to imprisonment for
life. Coon died in the penitentiary
shortly afterward. Riley served out
his term, and more recently Fahrney,
who had sickened with consumption
while in prisonment. was pardoned
out to go home and die. Tho name
of the man arrested as being accessory
to the murder of Slick being the same
as that of one of the men Riley who
was concerned in the killing of young
Gladfelter has given theme for talk
and has wildly revived the incident
above related.
