A Rather LiyeIy Episode.

4 Rather LIVELY EPISODE.
At Shenandoah Junction on Wed
nesday Robert Undertook, OF this
place. got into a quarrel with some
railroad men, and such shocking
language was used that the agent
there felt called on to lay in com
plaint. Constable Dunn, Of Dufiields,
arrested Mr.. Underdonk and took
him before Magistrate Link, who im-
posed a fine of $3.50 Bob was quite
willing to pay the fine, but when
81. so more was added as costs he de-
clined to whack up. Thereupon the
constable got ready to take him TO
Charlestown, and they started Tor
that place. Before they left the rail
road, however, Bob sat down on the
track and refused to go any further.
The constable demonstrated even at
the pistols point, but argument was
worse than useless, for Bob finally
got weary, knocked the constable
down, jumped passing freight and
went on up the road. He jumped of
again near Kearneysville and walked
in to Shepherdstown. Constable
Dunn followed him, and with the aic
OF Constable Maddox and Sergeant
Show surrounded him at the water
tank. Hemmed in by revolvers, con-
stables and water, Robert was forced
to surrender. Late in the afternoon
he and the constable started for
Charlestown in a wagon-bets being
about even as to whether or not MIR.
Dunn would still be In possession OF
Mr.. Underdonk by the time they
rea ched Charlestown.

wick for the comfort of its employees.
The lower floor will be fitted up as q
lavatory, with rooms in which cots
will be placed for those men who will
come in off their runs and have sew
eral hours to remain in Brunswick,
giving them a comfortable place to
lie down and rest. The upper floor
will be fitted up as a reading-room
and hall, and will be under the super
vision of the Baltimore and ONO
Young Mems Christian Association.
Miss Jennie Smith. the railroad evan
gelist, will often visit the hall and con
duet meetings.
The Board of Public Works has just
completed the work OF reassessing the
railroad property in West Virginia,
and all increase OF 800, 900 is shown.
The assessment of the Norfolk 4 Wes-
tern is 5000, O99; Winchester and Poto-
mac, $274, $50; West Virginia Central

The survey for the proposed extern
sion of the West Virginia Central and
Pittsburg Railroad from Cumberland,
Md, to Hagerstown, Md, was COM
pleted on the 4th instant, Chas. II.
Latrobe, of Baltimore city, being CON
sulting engineer, Geo. II. Coryell, OF
Washington, ID. c., in chargeof survey.
The distance is IS miles to connection
with the Western Maryland Railroad.
Thursday morning No. 2 passenger
train on the Norfolk 4 Western Rail
road ran into an open switch at the
stone crusher at Shepherdstown. A
couple of freight ears on the siding
were smashed and the passenger en-
CINE more or less damaged, but no
one was hurt. The freight engine
hooked on to the passenger train and
carried it to Hagerstown.
1t is suggested by Il writer in Ma
ryand paper that railroad be built
from Beeler's Summit on the Wash
ington County Branch OF the b. 4 o.
along the mountain top 70 Maryland
Heights. and that the latter be made
a summer resort. It's charms, the
writer thinks, would be superior to
either Pen Mar or the Yosemite Val
ley.
The Norfolk & Western Railroad
will run an excursion to Pen Mar this
Friday morning. Train leaves Shop
herdstown at 9.54, returning leaves
Pen Mar at 6 p. III. Fare for the

favor OF prohibition, says:

it. and it will be enforced in our courts,

on the rear platform, he remarked to Il

"You never see woman do that"
When questioned further he said,
iingling his pocketful OF silver:
mo, stree: they are the ones who
hang on to their nicllels. This would
be a heap sight easier business IL 1T
weren't for the women. They are
up to all sorts of lodges. and some of
them will scheme and scheme to win a
fare"
"What are the favorite methodist" the
conductor was asked.
ooh. the commonest is the bluff act
If we don't ask for their fares as soon
AS they get seated there are lots of
women who will vow that they have
paid. Sometimes they beat us, but often
est they pay under protest.

in a crowded car. Three or four women.

Each one refers to the other for the fare,
