The Do,nqs of the Railroads..

As passenger trains No. 4, on the
Norfolk & Western Railroad, due at
Shepherdstown at 9.27 p. m, wao
passing Col. Morgan's place. just
south OF town, last Friday night, a
stone was thrown at the train and
crashed through a window of the
Pullman sleeper. Fortunately it
struck no person. Conductor Dick
Hilleary was running the train, and
it is said that he was also running the
train the night the obstruction was
put on the bridge at this place
Putting two and two together, it is
the theory of some persons that these
are attempts at revenge on Captain
Hilleary. 1t is known that he kicked
from the train few weeks ago
young colored man of most unsavory
reputation, and there are fears that
trouble may be brought to pass yet.
1t seems to be case requiring prompt
attention from the railroad people.
The engineers running the survey
for the Cherry Run and Potomac
Valley Railroad are now about eight
miles above Dam No. 4, and to-day
they will move their headquarters
from Shepherdstown to Williamsport.
While the line will be longer than was
at first thought, the grade will be
practically nothing-not over two or
three feet to the mile. The point
where the new line joins the B. & o.
Railroad just west of Harpers Ferry
is four feet higher than where it
crosses the road leading to the wagon
bridge at Shepherdstown-ths dis
lance being about ten miles between
the two points.
The Norfolk & Western Railroad sI
poets to have its Ohio extension
opened for business by November.
When completed the 707 miles from
Norfolk, Va, to Columbus, Ohio, will
be known as the main line.
Ninety-si1 miles of railroad track
were laid in West Virginia the past
six months Only two States laid
more new track-New York 147 and
Montana 1919 miles.

pieces of mineral and wood In it, gath
cred from all parts of the inhabitable
globe; chip from the @rolite from
the bottom of the sea. Mr.. Berkshire

Peculiar Disease in Horses.

About June 18th Mr.. Frank K. Nc
Ouilkin, who resides but short distance
from Shepherdstown, w. Va, had four
fine work horses to become sick, three
of which in a short time died from a dis
ease which proves fatal in a great ma
iority of cases. Only one of the horses,
which seemed less affected than the
others, recovered. Mr.. McQuilkin de-
scribed the horses as becoming very
stiff, without proper control over their
limbs, especially the front limbs; some
fever, bowels very hard and dry, finally
refusing to act at all. Horses grew rap
idly weak, finally unable to stand, death
following from ~ to IS hours after dis
case made its appearance Upon re
quest Of the Secretary Of the Board Of
Agriculture, by telegram, the Chief Of
the National Bureau of Animal Indus
try sent Inspector Geo. w. Faville to
examine into the disease.
Inspector Faville says: The disease IS
what has commonly and enormously
been called spinal meningitis" by the
farmers and some veterinarians. It IS
evidently due to some toxic principle
taken with the grass or hay, and is not
contagious. would advise, in the way
of treatment, at the first symptoms, a
good, active purge, such as one ounce of
aloes, to be followed by tonic and stiu1-
ulating treatment, such as an alcoholic
solution of sulphate of quinia, in which
the animal would get an ounce of alco-
hnl and so or 40 grains of guinine at a
dose, every ) or 4 hours.

FoUTW OF OUV TIgHUH9.
The gathering Of mixed crowds at
the various resorts and the guiding
of whiskey and beer have brought
about the usual results this year. At
Inwood, as told In another column,
Barney Watson was murdered by
Edgar Irwin. At Pen-Mar, during
row in the club house near that resort
John Chrissinger and Mac Cost, Of
Hagerstown, were scientifically carved
with a razor said to have been welded
by John Shields, OF Waynesboro. At
Charlestown it Is reported that there
was a bloody ARRAY between lot OF
colored men and the members OF the
Winchester fire company and others,
when stones, razors and pistols were
brought into use. At Harper's Ferry
there was also disturbance. A col
ored gentleman knocked his wife
down and beat her, whereupon a col
ored lady, said to be from Shepherds
town, used language OF such char
acter, and pitched in key so high,
that she had to be put in jail. She
pawned her shoes next day and paid
her fine.
Our people ought to congratulate
themselves that we are bothered with
no such fracases hsre-and that no
whisksy is sold in the town.

Lemonade as Medicine.


Lemonade, they say nowadays, is n
very healthy drink if properly made,
and is good for malaria, biliousness
and other attendant evils. This will
be joyful news to the young people
who would like nothing better than
TO have lemonade ION tap all
through the summer. On no account
should it be made in any tin vessel,
as the acid OF the lemon forms with
the tin poison that is very apt to
produce sickness. This is the cause,
probably. Of the various cases Of
lemonade poisoning" Of which we
hear frequently and which are at
tributed to every cause but the right
one.
1t is better to drink lemonade with
out sugar if possible; and In any
event it should not be too sweet. A
physician who has great deal OF eI-
perience says that a glass OF lemon
ede without sugar before going to
bed and another on rising in the
Iuorning, about half an hour before
breakfast, is preferable to calomel for
biliousness and is better and more eff
ficacious than Congress water or
Hunyadi. Lemons should not be
eaten clear. but should always be di
luted with water.
