Excitement at Rarpsr's Ferry.

Negotiations for the sale of the Ia
nous John Browns Fort at Harper's
Ferry were finally concluded a few
weeks ago, and the Chicago syndicate
that purchased it commenced last
week to tear it down and ship 1t TO
Chicago, when it is to be exhibited at
the Worlds Fair. The building is OF
brick, and was originally the boiler.
house of the United States arsenal
1t has been an object OF curiosity to
thousands Of visitors to Harper's Fer
nv, and was in plain view Of passen-
gers over the b. g. o. Railroad. Con
siderable excitement was created last
Friday by the action OF the persons
who are removing the old fort. Not
being satisfied with removing the fort
foundation and also the ground on
which 1t stood, they attempted to take
a cannon presented to the city in 1875
through the influence of Congressman
Charles j. Faulkner, OF this State
The news having spread through the
town, the citizens rapidly collected
with the intention Of recapturing the
cannon at all hazards. The citizens
were called upon for assistance by
Acting Mayor Daniels. Arriving at
the place of shipping, the parties in
charge Of the fort were asked by
whose authority they claimed the
gun. They replied they had an order
from the Secretary Of War, but were
unable to procure it. The people i'm
mediately displayed the nerve their
forefathers did at the time OF the
Brown raid by pulling the cannon to
a place OF security, locking it up, and
placing it under guard. Had they
succeeded in getting the cannon, 1t
was rumored, the purloiners intended

A farmer Changed witt sarn-Rurnlna.

A dispatch from Hagerstown to the
Baltimore Sun of Wednesday says:
The Washington county grand jury,
after being in session for eight days,
concluded its labors today and was
discharged this evening. Twenty
seven true bills were found Among
these was an indictment against Geo.
j. Shiffler, wellknown and prosper
GUS farmer of Rohrersville district,
charged with setting fire to the barn of
DIS. Shiffler, his cousin, in August, 1890
The barn was burned at night, and
although considerable effort was
made at the time to find out who
set fire to it, the officers seemed
unable to get any clue at all to
the perpetrators Of the deed. Recent
developments, however, it is alleged,
threw suspicion upon Mr.. George j.
Shiffier, and the grand jury found
true bill against him.
A bench warrant was issued to-day,
and the sheriff went to his home this
afternoon and arrested him and
brought him to town to night. He
was taken before Judge Stake, in the
courthouse, and there gave bail in
the amount OF $1,000 for his appear
ance at court. The arrest OF Mr..
Shiffier is a surprise to the entire
community, and his prominence in
the county attaches a great deal Of
interest to his case. 1t will be re-
membered that d. s. Shiffier is the
man whose horses were poisoned
several years ago in the very barn
that was afterwards burned. Last
June Mr.. d. s. Shiffier found in his
cornfield some poisoned flour and
coffee These he gave TO Mrs. Nc
Herman, a woman who worked for
him. She made bread Of the flour,
and she, her husband and four
children, who ate of the bread, were
taken very sick. One boy died from
the effects of the poison. The fact
that Mr.. d. S. Shiffler has been such
a frequent sufferer at the hands OF
some malicious person or persons dur
ing the past few years has awakened
considerable sympathy in his behalf
in this county.
