Death of q Good Woman.

Last Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock
the spirit of Mrs. Helen Stockton
Boteler, beloved wife of Hon. Alexan-
der R. Boteler. returned to the God
who gave it. After long and pain
full illness, which she bore with pa
thence and Christian resignation, Mrs.
Boteler died at her home in Shep-
herdstown, surrounded by her de-
voted family, and on Tuesday her
body was laid to rest in Elmwood
Cemetery. Rev. Dallas Tucker, Of
Charlestown, conducted the funeral
services in the Episcopal Church.
Mrs. Boteler was a daughter of DR.
Eben Stockton, who was surgeon in
the Continental Line of the Army of
the Revolution and one of the origi-
nal members of the order of the Gin
cinnati. She was born in New Jer-
sey, and lived in Princeton. Her
maiden name was Stockton, and she
was q descendent of Richard Stock
ton, one of the signers of the Declare
ton Of independence. In 1886 she
was married to Mr. Boteler and for
fifty-fve years she and her husband
lived most happily together. In her
younger days she was noted for her
loveiness, and indeed she never lost
that beauty, for TO the very last, even
though she had suffered much, she re-
tanned her graceful bearing and come
ly features. Mrs. Boteler was en-
dowed with an intellect in keeping
with her fair face and figure. She
was a brilliant woman and her mind
was more vigorous and her percep-
tions keener than usually fall TO the
lot of the gentler sex.
For more than half century Mrs.
Boteler was a devoted and loving
wife. and few persons can point TO
such record of manly devotion and
wifely affection as existed between
her and Col. Boteler. They were tru-
" faithful to each other unto death.
She was, too, a wise and loving moth
err, a good neighbor, and above all
sincere Christian woman, who by eX-
ample and precept did her Masters

Mrs. Bcteler leaves four children
A. X. Boteler, Jr., of Norfolk; Mrs.
Pendleton, of this place; Mrs. Didier,
of Baltimore; and Mrs. Charlotte
johnson, of Washington City. To
the bereaved family, and especially TO
the husband whose loss is so great,
the sympathy of the community Is
extended. The age of the deceased
was IS years, II months and 4 days.

Thew We're Not Used TO Bufaioss.

From the Washington Sunday Her
AID of the present week we clip the
following interesting item
One of the buffalo cows, at the
Zoo" behind the Smithsonian lnsti-
tute, got out of her pen yesterday af-
ternoon and made herself very inter
esting to a large excursion party Of
farmers from Shepherdstown, w. Va.
The farmers thought they knew all
about cows, and bravely started in to
drive the big animal back to its pen.
But the brute had u sniff OF liberty,
and instead of going toward the pen
ran directly away from it, chased by
the farmers, led by one weighing
over two hundred pounds. They got
Mrs. Buffalo at last cOrnered, and ad-
yanced boldly toward her, expecting
the queen of the plains TO meekly
submit. Stationkeeper Weldon, arm
ed with pitchfork, then took charge,
and tried to induce the buffalo 10 re-
turn, but with a defiant snort, and
kick of her heels, throwing dirt high
i'm the air, the COW made charge ON
the gang, and for n time 1t looked 9s
il there would be some one injured.
The big farmers climbed trees, Jump
ed ratings, and ran up against the
Museum building in their fright,
while Mr.. Weldon dropped his pitch
fork and ran clear out on Is street.
II was thrilling scene, and perhaps
the most excited spectators OF II all
were the other butfaloes who were
believing and rushing around their
pens in violent manner. After chas-
ing all Of the brave farmers out OF the
lot the animal quietly walked to its
pen and entered as unconcerned as II
nothing unusual had happened.
When She did this and the gate was
secured the farmers congregated to-
gpthar and told how it should have
been accomplished, but wasn't, and
Mr.. Weldon returned from b street
easy and free. The excitement lasted
about two hours and there were
about 1000 people TO witness the
sight.
We haven't an idea who the valiant
farmers were. Of course. But among
the visitors from this place last week
were Messrs. Harry G. Getzendanner,
Archie Morgan and Lee Moler, Jr.,
who saw the Washington sights un-
der the direction of Capt. Tubman.

EDITOR REGIsTER-As we have not

the Lime Company located here. AT
ter many weary weeks of drilling, they
concluded they had an ample supply
of water, and moved their machine
away. 4 wind wheel and pump were
set up and put in operation, but test
proved the water TO be far short of
the supply needed, and Messrs.
Downin and Rohr, OF Hagerstown,
had to be called in 10 put the well
deeper, which was then about 100
feet They went down TO a depth of
over 240 feet. and now we have an
abundance of water-indeed a stream
that will furnish at least twenty gal
Ions per minute-water We know, Mr..
Editor, would do you good if you
would but call around occasionally.
as it is strictly pure and unadultera-
ted. As we can not represent the
growing prosperity OF our town as a
boom, we must say that the enter
prise carried on here is very different
from the So-called boom. as the Lime
Company doing business here is not
here for a day only, or a week, but 10
STAY. and under the able supervision
of Messrs Thomas. Bratt, Houser and
Link the investment can but be
profitable one 10 the company.

dav last Mr.. George Eichelberger, OF

West WrqInia' s Development.

|
A recent issue of the Virginia NAME
fact,rsr contained the following arti-
cle
"A survey of the business and con
dition of West Virginia shows a very
encouraging state of affairs. There
appears to be no cessation in the &C
tivitv of long established enterprises;
in fact some concerns are pushed for
time Nor is it only home demand
that is being supplied. Products are
being shipped abroad and the indica
lions are that this branch of industry
is but in its infancy. Some time'ago
we referred to the many resources the
State possessed in the form of rich
and varied minerals, almost mex
haustible timber supplies, and the ad-
vantageous locations for the establish
ment of such industries as would con
vert raw material into finished pro
ducts. The wonderful activity re
corded then is still going on. Our in
dustrial notes record almost weekly
the transfer of whole sections of land
for development purposes. 1t seems
! i'm fact as if there could be hardly o
square foot of land that had not
passed into the hands of some land,
mining or other company for indus
trial uses. But so rich is the State in
undeveloped wealth that there Is
room for still more. Naturally this
interest in West Virginia is rapidly
bringing near to commercial centres,
in the State, long almost inaccessible,
and the railroads either now building
or contemplated, viii aid largely in
opening up hitherto almost unknown
territory. The Norfolk and Western
and other lines that tap other sections
of West Virginia, cannot fail ere long
to prove highly remunerative. But
not only are railroads beginning TO
thread their way through the State
and thus provide easy means of send
ing out if need need be, the home
product of crude or finished material,
but improvements TO waterways Is adj
ding a still further and excellent
means to existing facilities for ship
ping. For certain purposes these
highways Of commerce are invalua-
BILE, for they enable the transporta-
ton, at almost actual cost, of COM
modities that find a ready sale at dis
tant points provided competition Is
met by low selling price. 1t would
seem that the new year in West Nir-
ginia is an encouraging one and so
long as development proceeds on
lines that common sense dictate
should be safe ones, we may look TO
great increase in the material
wealth of the State during the year
about to begin
West Virginia and the South will
make giant strides in business the
coming year And the prospects are
extremely brighttha Shepherdstown,
through the instrumentality of the
Shepherdstown Mining, Manufactur-
ing and Improvement Company, will
be among the foremost of the pro
gressive business towns Of the little
Mountain State.

The Canal Again.


The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
was the subject Of a long and inter
esting discussion Saturday before the
House committee on the District OF
Columbia. The actual proposition
before the committee was the bill au-
thorizing the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company, of Virginia, to eX-
tend its lines into the District OF Co
lumbia. Coupled with this PROPOSE
ton is an amendment TO grant the
Washington and Cumberland Rail
road Company similar privileges. 1t
WAS upon the amendment that the
discussion arose, as it involves the
purchase of the rights and privileges
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
within the District of Columbia. The
committee remained in executive ses-
sion for over an hour, and when they
finally adjourned till Tuesday, mat
tiers were pretty much in the same
shape as before the hearing.
On Tuesday the committee again
discussed the subject, the final result
being that the two propositions were
separated. The Washington and
Cumberland amendment was stricken
out. and the Norfolk & Western
amendment was retained with ia
,-oraI,Ia recommendation

Flew Ifems of Railroad News.


Last week was a great week for
railroad news, and if half of the re-
ports are true some great changes in
railroad affairs are imminent. The
most interesting story is that Jay
Gould is engineering a colossal scheme
nv which all the railroads south OF
the Ohio river-that is, all that
amount to anything-and reaching
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, are
to be confined. No lines influenced
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Will be
i'm the combination, of course, as the
object of the consolidation is to Gre
ate strong rival to the Pennsy. 1t
is stated that Mr.. Gould has an OPP
ton on the Baltimore 4 Ohio Kali
road-though the b. d o. officials
deny 1.-THE especial purpose OF
which is to give the southern business
connecting at Washington a first
class route to Philadelphia and New
York. The Richmond Terminal sys-
TEN is in with Jay Gould, and 1t Will
readily be seen that the firm is pow
erful one. In this same line of news
a dispatc from Baltimore says that
the Norfolk & Western system has
been taken into the scheme, and that
the closest sort Of traffic agreement
will connect it with the other roads
in the combine. Another Baltimore
report says that the b. i o. has a
traffic arrangement with the Norfolk
and Western, which will be put in
force as soon as the Norfolk and
Westerns line from Front Royal, Va,
to Washington and the Belt Railroad
tunnel through Baltimore are COM
pleted The charter OF the Norfolk
and Western gives it right to build
to the line of the District Of Column
bia, but the necessary permission TO
enter Washington has been asked Of
Congress. The road must bridge tn
Potomac, but, once across the river,
the construction of track not over
three or four miles long would enable
it to make a connection with the Bal
tinore and Ohio, and thus give to it
a line to Philadelphia, and, via the
Reading and Jersey Central roads, to
New York. Still another report,
which does not seem to be without
foundation, says that the Norfolk
Western is certainly trying to get
control Of the Western Maryland, so
as to run Southern iron into the East
ern PENNSYLVANIA market The Nor
folk and Western has made "a traffic
contract with Reading, and can Sc
cure new markets for its products
Allparties are reticent about.the mat
ter.
The Norfolk g. Western Railroad Is
having semaphore signals erected at
all the stations along the line Of the
road. This is a considerable improve
ment over the little red and white
flags
The Baltimore u Ohio Railroad
company has bought 81 acres of land
at Cumberland, price $4,000, upon
which it will begin at once the erec-
ton OF large machine shops, round
houses, etc.
The Norfolk & Western Railroad
will at once begin the work OF re-
placing with iron work the wooden
trestling connecting its splendid iron
bridge across the Potomac at Shep-
herdstown with the Maryland shore.
The surveys have been made, tho
contract let, and Wednesday night
couple OF carloads Of tools and other
material arrived here.
