each Of which he was prominently
connected, also attended the services

Mr.. Billmyer was only % years of
age, and his untimely death, besides
causing great sorrow among large

An Atrocious Assault.


Last Saturday night while Mr..
Thomss Warfield, Of Shepherdstown,
and Mr.. George kanode, of Bridge
port, were driving home from Sharps-
burg in dog-cart, an atrocious as
sault was made upon the former by
two colored men. As the vehicle was
nearing the residence of Mr.. Alex.
Crow, one of the negroes stepped out
i'm the road and held the horse, while
the other got behind the cart and
struck Warfeld a fearful blow with
a rock, knocking him TO the ground
insensible. The scoundrel then
jumped upon the unconscious man
and gave him an awful beating. His
head and face was made q mass OF
cuts and bruises, and it was at first
thought his skull was fractured.
They considered whether or not they
should do Mr.. Kanode the same way,
but he seized favorable chance to
whip up his horse and drive away.
The negroes then dragged Mr.. war
field along the railroad track, where
they left him. He recovered con
seriousness in little while and man
aged to make his way home, where
he is now recovering from his injuries.
The colored men came on to Shep-
herdstown, where they remained I'M
til Monday night. No attempt was
made to arrest them, and they walked
the streets unconcernedly. They are
said to be brothers, named Piper, and
hail from Rappahannock, Va. They
have been in this neighborhood be-
fore, and are probably pretty bad
men.

A Railroad Trestie Burned.

Last Sunday evening Mr.. f. f.
Mondel, who lives near the Big
Remsburg" trestle, on the Norfolk y
Western Railroad, about six miles
north OF Shepherdstown, probably
saved a number of human lives and
great loss to the railroad company.
The Hagerstown Globe tells how he
did it. Shortly after the evening
south bound accommodation train
passed over it, Mr.. Mondel discovered
that the bridge was burning, and up
on investigating found that the flames
were gaining rapid Roadway. Prompt
Nv saddling his horse, he dispatched
his step-daughter, Miss Annie, to
Sharpsburg to notify the railroad
agent at that point. In the mean
time with remarkable forethought
for person not conversant with rail-
road lore, Mr.. Mondel sent out two
men. one north and the other south
of the trestle to warn approaching
trains OF the imminent danger. Then
taking a bucket and line. be repaired
to the trestle and proceeded to extin-
guish the fire, with water drawn from
the stream below. He was about get
ting the flames under control when
one OF the company's engines arrived
OH the scene and finished the job.
About 1900 feet OF timber was re-
ouired to reconstruct the damage,
but had it not been for the timely in
Prevention and heroic efforts OF Mr..
Mondel, it would have been difficult
TO estimate what might have been the
loss of life and property. The two
night passenger trains were delayed
until about five o'clock Monda y morn

Railroad Affairs.


The Norfolk & Western Railroad
will run few excursions this sumner.
The members of the Reformed
Church of this place tried very hard
during the past two weeks to get an
excursion train to Pen-Mar on the oc-
casion of the Reformed reunion, but
the railroad officials declined to run
any train. They coupled their re-
fusal with the information that there
would be no excursions this summer
because they have no coaches TO
spare. Wonder why they don't buy
few?
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany recently tested new air-brake
with which it is proposed to equip all
their freight and coal trains. The eX-
pertinent was made between Morea
and st. Clair. An engine drawing a
train Of thirty-fve large coal ears.
with the new air brake attachments,
started from Morea on a gradient OF
sixty feet to the mile. The train was
run slow aud fast at different points,
the engineer having perfect control.
BIackwater Station was reached at Il
speed of nearly forty miles an hour,
when the final test was made, show
ing the engineer to have full control
of his train. The result OF the expert
ment is very important TO all com
panies working on heavy grades.
The railroad projected for the Mid
dletown Valley has been "ditched'
for the present.

Of saving regularly, even though in

II You wish a safe and fairly re

If you wish to buy n home, or build

to serve such purpose and TO meet

Washington, June
Biz Fire al 8aGert0n.

The village Of Bakerton, about five
miles southeast OF Shepherdstown, in
Jefferson county, was the scene OF a
biz fire early last Sunday morning,
when the lime burning plant OF Baker
Brothers. known "a the Washington
Building Lime Company, was com
pletelv destroyed 1t is said that the
Waterman was asleep when the fire
broke out. and the flames had made
good Roadway before they were dis
covered. The alarm was sounded,
and "a crowd gathered, but the people
could do little good. The immense
three-decked building which covered
the lime-kilns was burned to the
ground. as was also the coOper-shop
adjoining and its contents. Eight
freight ears belonging to the b. y q.
were also entirely consumed. The
fire. it is thought, originated from
one of the kilns.
1t is said that the loss will be in the
neighborhood Of SIS, 900, and that the
lime company was amply insured.
The Messrs. Baker were at Bakerton
on Sunday to view the wreck. They
have determined to rebuild at once,
and the work OF clearing away the
ruins was begun on Monday. The
men who compose the company are
enterprising and full Of business
pluck. and it will not be long until
the new plant will be in working

Take Care.


For the benefit Of those who are in
the habit of disturbing public school
exercises and other assemblages, we
call attention TO the following TO he
found in Chapter, 10, Acts 1887, OF
the Code of West Virginia:
"If person willfully Interrupt. modest or
disturb any free OF other schools, literary
society or any other society formed for in
tellectual, social or moral improvement un-
der the laws OF the State, or any Sunday OF
school exhibition, or any society lawfully
carried on, he shall be guilty OF misde'
meanor and fined not less than ten nor more
than fifty dollars, or, at the discretion oil
the Court, be confined In the jail OF the
county not more than thirty days, In ad-
dition to said fine"
1t would be well for the conserva'
tors of the peace to bear this law IN
mind and it will prevent much of the
disorder that we witness in our com
munity.
