The Greatest Snow in Years.

People living in this section do not
as a general thing, look for very
heavy snowfalls in the latter part OF
March. but on Friday and Saturday
last. the 27th and 2Sth, this section
was visited by an old time snowstorm
The storm had started way out ID
Kansas. Friday morning, early, II
struck the Shenandoah Valley. Early
risers found a sheet of snow covering
the earth, and though it melted pref.
ty fast. enough more fell during the
day to make very respectable dep II.
About dusk on Friday, the snow be-
gan to fall faster. and it came whirl'
ing down all night long. Saturday
morning it was deeper than SHOWS
usually get, down this way, and no
signs of cessation. 1t never let up
until 3 o'clock on Saturday, when 1t
finally stopped. The snow was nine
teen inches deep on a level by actual
measurement. This is official. Old
people say that there used TO be big
ger SHOWS before the war, but the
Younger generation has probably
never seen as deep snow III this To-
cality. 1t would undoubtedly have
reached three feet if so much of it
had not melted.
The heavy weight of the snow was
more than some Of the old buildings
could support. The roof of the sta
BILE belonging to Mr.. j. c. Show caved
in and fatally hattened a lot of chick
ems and pigeons that were in the sta
BILE. The tin-shop belonging to Mrs.
McAnly also collapsed, as did some
shedding on the Entler property on
'Tater Hill The back porch at Mrs.
Britner's house also went down. The
sway-backed roof on Mr.. Byers's sta
bic went all the way down at last
The ware-room of Mr. NJ b. Bakers
store, adjoining the REGISTER Office,
had about three feet of snow upon it.
Il he vi stN tI oa Iullti So' Z
warning and the snow was hastily
shoveed off before the roof was dam
aged. a number of buildings were
relieved of the pressure by the SHOW
cling off of the snow. MIR. John Quig-
ley was engaged in this sort of work
at his home when a snow-slide carried
him off suddenly and buried him in
the snow in the yard. He didn't get
on the roof again.
The storm extended through West
ern Maryland and the Valley of Nir-
ginia. but nevertheless the railroads
ran their passenger trains right along.
On Saturday the early mail was only
an hour and a-half late, an evidence
that the Western Maryland road had
fought the snow III the mountains
quite successfully. The Norfolk u
Western Railroad ran all its passen
ger trains with double headers, and
carried gangs of men on each train to
dig them out Of the snow when they
got stuck. The freight trains, Of
course, were moved very slowly.

A Very Narrow Escape.


Last Thursday morning Messrs
William Melvin and Sheridan Bender
had mighty close call for their lives
and at the same time a passenger
train on the Norfolk Il Western Rail
road came near meeting with what
might have been serious accident in
Shepherdstown. The two men named
were driving the Cement Mill team,
and just as they were crossing the
railroad track at Rays shop, on High
street, they saw the cars coming down
on them. 1t was Nc. 4 passenger
train, an hour late. The engineer
saw the wagon on the track and JAM
med the air-brakes on hard. Every
wheel was locked tight, but the train
slid on just little faster than the
horses were dragging the wagon.
Marshall and Bender scrambled off
the wagon and whipped up the horses
lively, and the locomotive just scraped
the hind wheels. The engineer stop
ped the train and ran back, sure he
had killed both men. Neither was
hurt. however, although Bender was
flat on the ground not a yard from
the rails. They were glad they were
not under the wheels, and the engi-
neer congratulated himself that he
hadn't struck such solid thing as n
wagon-load of cement. The horses
had improved the opportunity mean
while to run away with the wagon,
but they were caught a square or two
further on.

About Poultry Raising.

Poultry raising will pay, and il
farmers wives and daughters win fol-
low these rules they will realize hand
somely on their fowls:
LIST. Hatch out chicks early in April
or May. so they will mature and COM
mence laying in October or Novem-
Der, when eggs are at good price.
end. Feed well-wheat screenings,
corn, and lean meat, which is rich in
egg producing material.
3rd Get Leghorn breeds, as they
are the greatest layers and by feeding
as above have been known 10 lay over
200 eggs yearly, which at cent each
would be 80 per hen. Better keep ]
or of your flock Leghorns, rs they
will not set well. So keep some COM
mon breed for raising young chicks.
\ Jefferson county farmer who has
white Leghorns, was asked 10y his gro
Ger. What kind Of chickens have
you? You bring more eggs than half
a dozen other farmers They will
lay all winter.

The amendment to the 4lst section
of the school law, if correctly printed
in the School Journal, makes that sec
ton worse than it has ever been be
fore. The first meeting of the Board
of Education in the school year Is held
the first Monday in July. At that
meeting the board is required to de
termine the number Of teachers need
ed. fix their salaries, make the levy
for the coming year and determine
the number of months the schools
shall be kept open during the year.
The 4lst section then, as amended, re-
ouires the board, if it determines to
continue the schools more than four
months, to submit the question to the
voters of the district at the nert regular
election for county superintendent Of
schools. This election has already
been held (third Tuesday in May and
no other will be held for two years to
come. How can the board submit the
question:

There was very peculiar case in a
New York hospital last week in the
case of Paul Shonebein u German
laborer. While Shonebein was at
work Monday afternoon a quantity
of lumber Tell on him, breaking four
ribs and causing general bruises
Within 30 minutes after the accident
even the immediate family OF the in
jured man did not recognize him.
He began To swell as soon as hurt,
and the swelling kept going on until
the original thinness of the unfortu-
nate disappeared in u form OF the
most encouraging rotundity. This
sudden change was caused by the
ribs puncturing the lungs and injur-
ing the air vessels The freed air
rushed into the tissues and caused
the swelling. All over his chest and
back there was cushion Of air sew
eral inches thick. When you touched
the upper part Of the body it felt like
IA rubber bag filed with hot water.
These cushions existed, too, on the
arms and upper portions OF the legs.
The face was So swollen that opening
the eyes was extremely difficult. The
patient lay fiat on his back end
breathed in quick short gasps. Shone-
bein died the following day.

A Brave Woman.

! A Brave Woman.
/ Last Saturday morning Mr. Geo.
NJ. Beltzhoover received dispatch
stating that the Simms House, at
Piedmont, this State, had been de-
stroyed by fire. 1t was owned and
occupied by Mr. j. p. \. Entler,
father in-law of Mr.. Beltzhoover and
a former well-known resident of
Shepherdstown. Later news gave the
details of the catastrophe. The fire
originated, it is supposed, by a de-
fective register or flue, and was first
discovered by Miss Annie Entler
She gave the following graphic ac-
count Of the affair: Il escaped from
the hotel in my night dress, pair Of
old shoes and shawl, and ain now
wearing my sisters wrapper. re
tired at AS and there was no fire
around the house Ny sister was at
the parlor register and there was no
heat Ny room was in the east wing
of the hotel, next the parlor and just
over the Mushroom. was the only
member Of the family in the hotel last
night, father. mother, my sister Mel
lie and Lucian Hoye. my nephew,
being in the cottage adjoining the
hotel. At one o'clock | awoke, and
looked at my watch; there was no
fire and all seemed safe and peaceful.
1t was nearly 3 o'clock when bright
light in my room awoke me. The
flames were bursting from closet
next the parlor | rushed to ii and
grabbed my pocket-bOOk, containing
$40, but this afterward lost. | ran
through the dining-room to the office
and awoke the porter, telling him to
alarm the boarders, but ! went my
self TO every door, breaking it open in
very many cases. as the men seemed
TO lose their senses when the word
fire was shouted at them. 1t was
absurd, and | could have laughed
but for the danger, to see strong men
trembling with fear. Ny hand is
burned and quite painful.
The hotel was burned 10 the ground,
and all its contents were lost. An
adjoining house belonging to Mrs
Robert Powell was also destroyed.
Mr.. Enters loss is Sl2. 900, on which
there is an insurance Of $4,000 His
many friends in Shepherdstown sym
pathize with him in his misfortune.
