A FREIGHT TRAIN wREcKED.-A

A FREIGHT TRAIN WREcKED.--A
local freight train on the Valley
Branch of the b. & O.. was wrecked
Monday evening about six O'Clock at
Bulls Falls, one mile west of Har-
per's Ferry. The train was going east
and rounding sharp curve, near the
falls, when the engineer observed a
COW lying on the track, but before
he could stop his engine it had passed
over her, and carrying with it the
tender, five empty cars and one load
ed with wheat, had plunged into the
Shenandoah river, over a stone wall
embankment nearly twenty feet high.
Eight other cars left the track, but
did not run into the river. Several
yards of track were torn up. The
fireman jumped and was not hurt.
The engineer remained at his post
and fortunately was not injured. He
crawled out while the engine was ~
ing submerged in mud and water.

We publish this week an interesting
history of the Morgan family, some
of the early settlers of this valley,
who braved many dangers and under
went many hardships, that this beauti-
full valley might be what it is to-day,
the peaceful, prosperous and happy
home of descending generations.
They were men and women of whom
any country might be proud. Indus
trious, honest christian people, the
fruits of whose labors have come
down a blessing to posterity. MIR.
Morgan Morgan, of this county, is
one of the direct descendants, and
worthy son of noble and heroic an
cestry. By marriage the relationship
has been widely extended over the
state. At Fairmont a monument has
been erected in memory of the long
departed hero. 1t is we'll to keep in
mind and profit by the lessons taught
US in trials and tribulations, such as
our forefathers endured.

Ladies', Misses and Children's
Wraps.

We have contracted this season with
a new manufacturer to make our wraps.
We find that he uses better cloth and
takes more care in making them. than
any other house, whose goods we have
examined, also his garments are tailor
made and better fitting than any other
on the market Our sales have been
larger this season than any former one,
which shows conclusively, that the trade
appreciates garments made of good cloth
and neatly fitting. We carried over
very few wraps from last year, in fact.
not over fifteen in all. So you III have a
fresh, new stock to select from. Why
buy from merchants who have lot OF
old coats, which they have been carrying
over for the last three years, when you
can get the latest style garments for the
same money at EMMERT & FIERY.

This has been an eventful season to
the farmers of Frederick county, Md.
and now that the work of the year is
over many interesting calculations
are being made. It has been conclud-
ed that the yield has been large. The
wheat yield is put at twenty bushels
per acre and the corn at ten. Hay
was unusually heavy, though poor in
quality, owing to rain during harvest,
Wheat was also much damaged. The
price here for wheat is from 60 to 80
cents per bushel; corn, $3.50 to s.
per barrel. The clover seed is al
poor, the yield being less than hall
bushel to the acre. In this county
the crops were generally good bu
prices low.
