An old Veteran.

An Old Veteran.
Our town has recently been full OF
veterans going to and fro between
Gettysburg and Antietam. But for
a real, live, unpensioned veteran our
own Napoleon Hull is entitled to the
belt. He is nearly SO, is the Oldest
survivor Of the ''Stonewall Brigade,
and even now would be a nasty man
to tackle in fisticuf. On Tuesday,
the anniversary of Antietam, he rode
through the streets on restless and
quick stepping young horse, and sat
him with as straightand firm seat as
BLACK Horse Cavalryman" of a5years
ago. When asked what he was doing
on that horse he quietly replied, Hes
a bit frisky and my son Frank thought
I had better break him little" With
that he raised his gray SLOUGH hat and
rode on, while a bystander remarked,
IF he lives until the next war he'll
be the first man to enlist!"-Hagersto~n

The New Turnpike.

The New Turnpike.
Work is progressing very lively on
the new turnpike being built by Mr..
Henry Shepherd from his Wild Goose
Farm to Shepherdstown. The con-
tractors, Messrs. Croft & Zimmerman,
have large force of men at work,
and are pushing the work as fast as
possible. The steam stone-crusher,
which has a capacity Of about so
perches day, has been set up in Mr..
Marshalrs field. The pike has been
commenced at Wild Goose, and is be-
ing built toward town. When it has
been finished to town it will be built
from Wild Goose to the Lower Farm
OF Mr.. Shepherd. ALI the culverts
and drains on the road are to be of
terra Gotta pipe, enclosed in stone
walls. The indications are that this
road will be the best in this entire
section.

4 Bridqe Over the Potomac.

We are informed by a reliable
gentleman from the adjoining county
OF Berkeley that those people are
seriously agitatiDg the question of
building bridge over the Potomac
at this place, and ask our people to
assist in the plan. They have waited
upon Senator Faulkner in regard to
asking an appropriation from the
general government to help the en-
terprise along, and he informs them
that if Hon. L. E. McComas, Con-
gresham from this district, will assist
him, he is almost certain the two to-
gether could get an appropriation for
that purpose WiAidmspon Leader.
We can hardly believe that Senator
Faulkner has said that the govern
ment will help such an enterprise,
for, so far as we know, the govern
ment is not in the business Of bridg-
ing rivers for the accommodation Of
a limited number OF private citizens.
II we are mistaken, however, and the
government will really aid in such
efforts, we will also get after Senator
Faulkner and Congressman McComas
and have bridge built at Shepherds
town too.

The Century. The writers include the
Rev. Professor Shields of Princeton,
Bishop Potter of New York, the Rev.
DIR. T. T. Munger of New Haven, the
Hon. Seth Low of Brooklyn, and Pro-
fessor Ely of the Johns Hopkins Uni

Corner Stone Laying at Dumeids.

The cornerstone of the new Epis-
copal Chapel at Duffields, in this
county, was laid last Thursday with
the usual Masonic rites on such occa-
sions. Grand Master Gustav Brown,
assisted by other grand officers and
members of the Lodge from Shep-
herdstown, Duffields, Charlestown
and Martinsburg, conducted the GER
emonies. In the cornerstone were
Deposited copies Of the Shepherds
town REGISTER and the Charlestown
papers, the Southern Churchman and
the Church Year, a book of common
prayer and hymnal, list of the officers
of Elk Branch Lodge of Masons, list
OF juvenile contributors to the church
fund, and a penny Of 1889. The Shep-
herdstown Cornet Band furnished
the music.
After the cornerstone laying the
visitors were invited inside the build
ing, where the ladies of the neigh
borhood had prepared a most tempt
ing dinner. After justice had been
done to this meal, interesting speeches
were made by Rev., Mr.. Thomas, of
Martinsburg, and Rev. Frank Ag-
lionby, of England. In the evening
a supper was held, which, with the
proceeds from the dinner, added the
neat sum of $3.50 to the fund.
The new chapel, which is nearly
completed, is well-proportioned
frame building, and stands ona beau
tiful site about the center of the vii
lage on land contributed by Captain
Hunter. 1t is so X "a feet in size, with
octagonal recess chancel 16 feet deep,
and vestry-room at the side. 1t is to
be finished on the inside with native
pine in hard oil finish, with black
walnut trimmings, and the Gothic
windows will be of cathedral glass.
We understand that there will be at
least one memorial window in the
chapel. The outside of the building
will be painted stone gray, with seal
brown trimmings. The lawn in
front of the chapel will be neatly
terraced and otherwise embellished.
The architect and builder is Mr.. w.
l.. Davis, of Rochester, n. Y, who
has given his time and labor free of
charge, accepting as his only compen-
sation his entertainment during the
progress of the work He was ably
assisted in buildingthe chapel by Mr..
A. S. Link, of Duffields.
Messrs. Diehl e. Bro, of Charles
town, furnished the cornerstone free.

T5is1ea win Steal Anything at this Season.

Thieves W.T. Sfe0 AnFtnfng ~ u"s S'usS"'
Now that winter is setting in, the
people who are too lazy to do honest
work are beginning to hustle around
for their winter provender. That
they will steal anything atallis shown
by the following list Of robberies ana
attempted robberies:
Mr.. Charles d. Wysong, who lives
about two miles Observation-Disclosures
is the latest victim of the thieves who
make a speciality Of good country
bacon. Last Saturday night the lock
was broken of his meat-house door
and twelve pieces Of bacon, including
six fine hams, were carried of, leav-
ing Mr.. Wysong two middlings only.
AS usual, this work was conducted
with neatness and despatch, and no
clue was left behind. 1t seems to us
it would pay the farmers OF that
neighborhood to get good detective
on these cases.
Last Sunday night Mrs. Benjamin
Hartzell was awakened by some one
trying to break in the back door OF
the house. Mr.. Hartzell was at the
railroad depot attending to his duties,
so Mrs. Hartzell awoke her son Her
bert, who, by means of the telegraph
line between the dwelling and the
station, called his father and told him
what was going on. Mr.. Hartzell ran
up to the house at once, but the thief
disappeared before he got there, hav-
ing probably been alarmed by the
movements inside the house.
One night last week Mr.. James W.
Kerney's office near the railroad sta
ton was broken into by way of win
dow, and the thief or thieves entered
the warehouse and got couple OF
bags of flour, some corn, and proba-
bly, some coal, as they had opened
the coal bins.
A few nights ago some one broke
into the Office of Trump & Whiting
ton, proprietors Of the "Ohio Pain
Killer" at Kearneysville, and stole
fifty dollars worth of medicine. They
have no idea who the rogue was, but
somebody must have had a tremen-
dous pain to steal two hundred bottles
of pain-killer at once.
A sheep belonging to Mr.. H. R. Rid
die was killed and carried away from
his farm, occupied bysMr. George
Clipp, near Halltown, few nights
ago. Mr.. Riddle offers a reward Of
$50 for information that will lead to
the arrest and conviction of the dep
redators.

Thrilling Experience.

Thriiing experience.
Mr.. Henson Krepps had a narrow
escape from a horrible death one
night this week. While attending to
his duties in the pulp mill in which he
is employed, he stepped on an inse-
cure trap door in the floor, and was
precipitated headlong into the rushing
water boiling and seething about the
propelling wheel. Fortunately his
hand came in contact with heavy
timber, to which be chung until his
calls for help were heard by the fore
man of the mill, who Immediately shut
off the water and lowered a ladder to
the half-drowned man below, and by
the aid Of this instrument Mr.. Krepps
was enabled to leave his dangerous
ly unpleasant quarters and gain the
upper floor, thankful to have escaped
unhurt.-Harper's Ferry Sentinel

The Preacher Looked HIM IN the Eye.


A dispatch from Winchester, Va,
says that on last Friday John No
Ian, formerly of Homecoming, Md,
now residing near Winchester, presen-
ted at the Union Bank an improperly
drawn check, on which the cash
was refused. He then went to
George w. Keller's hardware store,
purchased pistol, had it loaded and
fired at the proprietor and his son,
without effect. Walking out of the
store, he went to Rev. s. H. Jones, of
Sharpsburg, Md, pastor OF the Luth-
eran church, put the pistol to his face
and demanded his pocket-book. The
pastor looked him in the eye and re-
fused the demand. Nolan replied,
Il don't want to send your soul to
hell" but, quailing under the fixed
gaze of Mr. Jones, dropped his hands
and was arrested. He had been in col
lege studying for the priesthood, and
is supposed to be insane.
