The Shepherd Fire Department. of
Shepherdstown has disbanded and the
property and moneyed interests of
that place are at the mercy Of the
flames, so far as any organized effort
is concerned. For over a year there
has been such lack of interest in
the fire company atitwas very hard
matter to keep it in existence, and
about two weeks ago it was decided
to disband. A fine steam fire.engine,
two excellent hose-reeIs, with plenty
of hose, lad ders, axes. lantern, uni
forms, etc., are on hand, and all that
is needed is a sufficient number of in
terested persons to organize a COM
pany.

she found Bolts there, attempting to

the position which the Globe Democrats
Washington correspondent lately promised
him was soon to be his, but whit snap was,
couple of weeks afterwards, bestowed on
Capt. Mckinney, Of Pierce City. Some one
suggested that maybe thuse unpleasant
charges had reached the official ears at
Washington and that perhaps the Depart
ment hardly cared to honor an individual
VINO cared so little for his reputation as to
allow people and newspapers to indlscrimi-
nately characterize him az one not of the
truly good, with little or no protestation
on the part of the accused. This remark
provoked considerable more comment, and
the conference, it is said, lasted till rather
late hour. Whether the charges were taken
up and admitted or denied appears to be a
matter Of doubt. We feel safe in saying,
though, that they were not wholly explain
ed, for no official note to that effect has yet
reached us. None of this, though, is inter-
eSting to Democrats, and AS the Republicans
already know more than we can tell, we
desist, but, all the same, the Democrats can,
with assurance, await that little circus we
last week promised them would soon be
here. We had authority for our statements
then and are now more confident than ever
that we wei re not miSnformed.
