ANTIETAM MILLS,

June 9th, 1891.
EDITOR OF REGISTER Being n
reader of the REGISTER, l noticed an
item from our friends and co-laborers,
w. ID. and L. e., challenging the
crusher and Autietam Cement Mill
steam-drill men, saying thai they
drilled eefeet in 10 hours, and thought
they could do still better IL either OF
us could equal il. OF course there is
not person within the sound OF that
old reliable and familiar whistle OF
the Potomac Cement Mill that would
doubt one iota OF the assertion but
this we have TO say, AS they have
made the challenge, we will name the
place. So Bros. ID. and G., come over
the grand old Potomac and We will re
ceive YOU with brotherly hospitality
and give you = fair chance for your
white allv; and ere the hands on that
precious old town clock OF your city
stand perpendicular and chime the
hour Of 6 p. m, you will be willing 10
submit and go home through the
bushes and around the back way, and
console Yourself with the thoughts OF
some OF your by-gone drilling, and
form the conclusion that il II consid-
erably easier to be pleasantly seated
back in coy. big arm chair on Main
street in the Cit! on the Clin aud
tell our youths how much You can
drill in 10 hours than il is 10 actually

Memorial Dqy m Sheoberdstown.

Last Saturday was Confederate
memorial day in Shepherdstown, but
il was wet one Just about the time
the procession started for the Gene
terry the rain began to fall, and though
the Confederate veterans, headed by
the band, marched out and strewed
the flowers on the graves Of their dead
comrades. il became necessary TO
abandon the exercises there and re
turn TO town. The programme was
partially carried outin Firemen's Hall
where Rev. J. II. Van Horne delivered
the address OF the day. Col. w. A
Morgan commanded the Confederate
Camp. Although the weather was so
unpromising, there was a large crowd
of people in town, many OF whom were.
FROM adjoining counties. The crowd
was a quiet and orderly one, and there
was no disturbance Of any character.
Everybody lamented the rain that
spoiled the pleasure OF the day.

DEDICATION OF ST. AGNES CHURCH.

DEDICATION OF ST. AGNES CHURCH.
The dedication of st. Agnes Catho-
lie Church in this town took place
last Sunday. Despite the rain, which
fell constantly all morning. the church
was crowded long before the hour for
service.
The clergymen present were Rt. Rev.
A. Vandevyver, d. D., of Richmond,
Va, Rev. Father McAvoy, S. j., of
Washington, D. c., and Rev. Father
Wilson, of Harper's Ferry. At the
appointed hour, Bishop Vandevyver
and Father Wilson, preceded by
four altar boys-Johnny Curran, of
Washington, Samuel Hodges, Law
renee and Remy Brown, Of this place
mached down the main aisle of the
church TO the churchyard and blessed
the ground around the building
Coming into the church. they pro
ceeded to the altar for prayer, after
which they marched through the
aises OF the church, the Bishop
solemnly defeating the building TO
God. After the dedicatory services,
High Mass was celebrated by Rev
Father McAvoy. At the conclusion
of mass, he delivered powerful and
effective sermon. He is an eloquent
speaker, and what he said was greatly
enjoyed by those present. He closed
his remarks by thanking Catholics
and non-Cathol:cs for their aid In
erecting TO God such beautiful TEN
pie, and for the latter he prayed that
Almighty God would be with them,
and whenever they entered this TEN
Pile, they and their children would re
ceive blessing.
The pastor Of the church also made
a few remarks in his usually impress
sive manner, and they will long be
remembered by those present.
Foeppels Mass, in honor of THE
Holy Guardian Angel was sung by
the choir under the leadership of Miss
Agnes Gibson, and the music was
rendered with much effect. The mem
bers Of the choir were: Miss Agnes
Gibson, organist and leader, Miss
Stella Jones and Miss Rosa McChan,
sopranos; Miss Gertrude Spohn, Misses
Bessie and Ada Wilson, altos; Mr..
Geo. w. McCardell. OF Williamsport,
Md, tenor; Prof. CIV. Humrickhouse,
violinist.
The furniture OF the church is sim
pie but elegant. The altar on Sunday
last. with its immaculate linen, and
lighted candles, and profusion OF
flowers, with beautiful cross OF
roses over it, produced an extremely
devotional effect The church was
pronounced by those present TO be Il
perfect model Of architectural neat
ness, and many spoke words Of praise
for the one who had labored SO earn
estly and untiringly for its erection.
After the services the clergymen were
driven to the residence Of DR.. j. q.
Gibson. where they dined. 4 lunch
had been prepared in Firemen's Hall
for the visitors, and in this way all
were provided for. Had the weather
been favorable, large crowds would
have been present from Baltimore
and Washington on this occasion.
Truly. the dedication of ST. Agnes
Church was an epoch in the history
Of Shepherdstown. r..

Regretted.

Regretted.
1t isa matter of great regret by all,
that the literary exercises of the
Alumni anniversary of Shepherd Col
lege, had to be omitted this year.
Those chosen at the last annual meet
ing to participate in these exercises
failed to make preparation. There
was one honorable exception, Miss
Mary Myers the alternate essayist, who
was ready and willing to do her part.
1t is hoped that the same thing will
not occur again. The history OF the
class of 1876, which contained twenty
seven members, would have been a
rich treat for our people. Let the
members of the association take more
pride in their Alma Mater and make
every sacrifice to comply with the re
ouirements of these pleasant anniver-
saries

and one his thigh. He would have
surely been killed, but his aged faith

the bull away. While the injuries
were painful and dangerous, Mr.. Hard
