TIE Stone Crushsr at Work.


The stone-crusher to be operated
by the Norfolk & Western Railroad
ut Shepherdstown has been started.
1t is located on the property purchas-
ed from Mr.. Martin Stipp, near the
railroad bridge, at the east end OF
town. The steam engine and the
orusher were put up during the past
week, and an engine house and
blacksmith shop have also been
erected. Mr.. Geo. F. Ryan, formerly
OF Maryland, /. superintendent Of the
works. There are IS men now EN-
ployed. and Mr.. Ryan says that as
soon as more tools can be supplied he
expects to run about 40 hands. Near
ly all Of the mon are from this place,
mostly those who work in the quar-
ries at the cement mills. The work
OF blasting will be facilitated by the
use OF a steam drill. The crusher is
said to have a capacity OF twenty
carloads a day, but it is not likely
that it will turn out much more than
a dozen carloads. The broken
stone will be used for ballasting the
railroad. There are three crushers
at various points along the line, and
the whole road will be placed In first
class condition.
The establishment Of the crusher at
Shepherdstown will be Of considera-
BILE benefit to the community, rs the
payroll will be a large one and the
work will last for a year or so.

tn. Narrow Escape of Master George Hines

The Narrow Escape of Master George Hines.
George HINES, the eight year-old
son of Mr. Moses Kimss, had an ex-
citing and most dangerous adven-
ture on Tuesday afternoon. George
was taking the COW OF his grand
father, Mr. Emanuel Miller, to water
when the disaster occurred. He was
leading the cow by q long chain
halter fastened around her neck. In
a thoughtless moment George fas-
tened the other end of the chain
around his own neck, and just then
the COW became frightened and
started to run. AT the tir-t jump she
jerked George of his feet and then
dragged him along over the rough
road at breakneck speed. Mr.. Butler
Marshall happened TO be near at the
time, and by the time the COW had
run a couple of hundred yards lie
caught up with her. With rare
presence of mind he clapped his hat
over the cows eyes and turned her
into fence corner, where he succeed
ed in releasing the unfortunate child.
George presented a shocking APP
pesrance. He was almost choked TO
death and was covered with blood
from the numerous cuts he had re-
eeived as he was dragged over the
stones. He was taken home and DR..
REYNOLDS called in. Although suffer
ing from innumerable cuts and
bruises, it is thought that Georges
injuries will not prove to be very

There was a change Of schedule on

follows: South-bound. No. 1, 11.lS p.
ILL.,; No. 3, sos q. IN; No. q. 4-56 p. M;
north bound. No. 2, 2b3 p. M; No. 4

and % were formerly Nos. and 8,
accommodation between Shenandoah
AMI Hagerstown, and will hereafter
run on Sundays also. The only i'm
portant change is in No. 4, which
leaves here now at S.15 a. III, instead
of at the former heathenish hour OF
3.23 a. NJ. The new schedule will be
found in another column Of this pa
per.
The officials and employees OF the

rived at a satisfactory agreement in
regard to the increase Of wages asked

All the lately constructed routes as
laid out for the conductors and other
employees Of the n. &.W., have been
changed back to the old plan. and all

adoption by reason of the deficiency
Of comforts and accommodations at

fine hotel Of the Queen Anne order,

According to the New York Sun, the

ranged for through freight and pas
senger traffic from New Orleans to
New York by way of the Western
Maryland and the Philadelphia and
Reading as soon as the w. NJ. makes
connection with the Reading at Har-
risburg. The Cumberland Valley
will be heavy loser by this new deal
because at the present time almost all
the through freight and passenger
traffic from the Norfolk and Western
is transferred to that road In antici
patton OF the increased traffic over its
road the Western Maryland is having
constructed large number of power

The boom at Shenandoah Junction,
according to popular rumor, seems
to be sagging a little in the middle.
A number Of the options have run
out, and the company has made no
effort to renew them and has appar-
emily abandoned its efforts TO estah
lish a great industrial town at that
point. The failure to carry out the
plans is said to be inability to place
the stock on account of the unsettled
state OF affairs in the county. Pop
ular opinion thinks the boom is
busted but it may be that 1t VIII
recover when the roses come again.
