The Western Maryland Fast Man.

The postoffice appropriation bill
has been reported to the Senate with
out the item for fast mail service
which had been put into the House
bill after a determined effort by Mr..
McKaig. The Importance OF this ser
vice it is hard to overestimate. The
determined opposition to it by the
Postrnaster-Gene seems to be based
OH the idea that the railroads should
do this service without extra compen-
sation. Between the large cities and
along the great trunk lines OF the
North and West the mails can be car
ried on regular trains at any hour de-
sired, but in the South 1t is entirely
different. The population is not
dense, and trains are run lnfrequent-
lv and at such hours as to accommo-
date local traffic. The train which
takes the mail from Baltimore to Ha-
gerstown on the Western Maryland
Road has to leave Baltimore at an
hour much too early for passenger
traffic, and could not be run but for
the special appropriation. 1t arrives
at Hagerstown at an early hour in
the morning and carries one OF the
heaviest mails which leaves the city,
and is of great benefit to the trade OF
Baltimore and to great extent OF
country. The people are used to 1t
now, and its discontinuance would be
felt as a serious blow. Mr.. McKaig is
still pursuing the subject, and he will
leave nothing pndone TO secure the
continuance Of the fast mail service
i'm which his district Is so deeply In
terested. Baltimore Sun Of Monday.
The mail facilities referred to above
do not possess the value they had be-
fore the last schedule went into eli.
feet on the Norfolk l. Western Rail
road. 1t is true that the mail arrive
in Hagerstown at an early hour, but
Hagerstown is about the only place
OF Importance that Is benefited
The mail for the South lays there for
three or four hours before the n. q
w. Railroad starts it south. So far
as Shepherdstown is concerned the
present arrangement is disadvan-
age, for the mail could be obtained
from the b. L. O. an hour earlier by
the present schedule, or II it should
be carried by wagon from Kearneys-
vile or Duffields we would get 1t at
least two hours earlier. 1t is rather
tough to reflect that the railroad
brings us our mail two hours later
than we could get it by a wagon
route. we think it would be well
TO petition for a star route.

Our New Railroad.

The corps OF engineers of the Cherry
Run and Potomac Valley Railroad
Company arrived in Shepherdstown
the latter part OF last week and are
now stopping at the Entler Hotel.
The corps is composed of nine men, in
charge of Mr.. C. NICK. Watts, of Pitts.
burg. They are surveying line from
Harper's Ferry to Cherry Run both
points on the B. & o. Railroad-and
are following the high-water mark Of
the Potomac river the entire way, al
though it is probable that they will
cut across some of the narrow necks
of the river where a saving Of expense
could be effected. Engineer Watts
informed the REGISTER man that the
main object in locating route was
to get as easy a grade as possible, and
that by following the river pretty
closely this could be accomplished
very satisfactorily.
Mr.. Watts said that the line would
not be an expensive one to con-
struct. The length OF the route will
be about the same as that OF the main
line Of the B. & O., 80 miles, but there
would not be the heavy grades that
are on the latter between Harper's
Ferry and North Mountain.
Although there is no certainty, there
is probability that as soon as this
preliminary survey has been con-
pleted the corps will be put to work
to locate the line so as to get ready
for the work Of construction.
The incorporators Of the company
will hold their first meeting at Har-
per's Ferry on July 30th, when an
organization will be effected and
other business transacted.
We urge upon our people the Inn
portance Of doing everything to en-
courage the building of this proposed
road. The advantage to this section
of a competing line of railroad cannot
be over-estimated II this road should
be built we would have direct rail
routes north, south, east and west.
The cement industry would receive
an immense boom, and the great veins
that lay below town would doubtless
be at once opened up, while the fine
quarries of building stone would GER
tainly be utilized to the greatest ex-
tent. And then, only a couple OF
hours from Washington and Balti-
more, our noble cliffs and magnificent
groves would be filled with cottages
and hotels for the accommodations
of the summer visitors who would
wish for no prettier or more agreeable
spot than Shepherdstown and its sur
ropq.5ings.
Let the new line be heartily wei
coined. Let our people do all in their
power to secure it. Do not ask heavy
land damages nor throw any obstacles
in the way. We all want the road
let us all work for it

Dan Iona and HIS Doq and Ms Pig.

Little Dan Long, who lives at the
toll gate, has @ pig that was given him
a short time ago. Dan thinks great
deal of his pig, and it is almost as
playful as his other pet, a Shepherd
dog. A few days ago the pig strolled
over to the railroad station and
watched with interest the loading OF
some other swine on q car. The
stock dealer who was doing the work
saw the pig and thought it was one
of those he had bought, so he put 1t
in the car also. Dan soon discovered
the mistake, and stoutly claimed his
property, but his story was not be-
lieved. With tears streaming down
his cheeks and bowling mournfully
he ran for home and told his sad tale.
Joe Cookus's heart was touched, and
he went up and substs inflated Dams
story. The dealer agreed TO give up
the pig il the claim could be proven
Dan and his dog we're there, and
when the pig was allowed to go out
Of the car it squealed SO triumphantiy
to Dan and played SO joyfplly with
the Shepherd dog that the stock man
was convinced. and boy. dog and pig
marched proudly home.
1t will 60 mighty hard with Dan
when butchering time comes and
that pig has to be killed.

marrow escape.
What may truly be called a mirac-
ulous escape from instant death was
that OF Ohio Smith and his little
daughter on Friday last.
Mr.. Smith Is the tenant on George
Miller's farm, situated about one
mile north of Bolivar. He, with the
child upon his arm, went to the pump
to get drink; just as he stepped
upon the floor of the well it gave
way, and they were both precipitated
into the well, which is eighteen feet
deep, with about eight feet OF water
in it at the time With great pres
ence OF mind Mr.. Smith held the
child carefully in his arms, although
going to the bottom Of the well, and
when he arose to the surface he
caught hold Of the iron pump, plant
ed his feet firmly into the wall of the
we'll, where he remained for fully half
an hour before being rescued from
his perilous position. Aside from the
fright and a few bruises sustained by
Mr.. Smith, both escaped uninjured.-

Bible SociefY Meeting.

A word in behalf Of our Auxiliary
Anniversary to he held in the M. E.
Church South, on Sunday evening
next at 8 o'clock,
A simple thought of the manifold
blessings our community enjoys, for
which it is largely indebted to the
Bible, ought to be sufficient to stir
our people and rally them to any call
in behalf Of the cause. The work and
history Of the American Bible Society
is a grand one, and it ought to be es-
teemed privilege to have even an
humble part in 50 glorious mission
Our Auxiliary affords this opportuni'
ty, and with a continued existence OF
over twenty years, is already itself
able to point to a creditable record.
AS it grows in years let all help to
make it more efficient and useful
Last years meeting is still remem u
bered with pleasure by many who
were permitted to attend it. A spe-
cial program is being arranged Tor
Sunday evening next, and an equally
interesting service is again expected.

Ice Cream as Medicine.

The value Of ice cream as remedy
for certain intestinal troubles is being
advanced. Some, indeed most physi,
clans, permit it through typhoidfever'
always insisting it shall be OF the

cure of a case Of ulcer in the stomach
by the sole and persistent use OF ice
cream may be added that OF woman.
She suffered from a serious affection
OF the eyes directly traceable to diges-
tive disturbance, and her physician
finally put her upon ice cream as u
sole diet. For eleven months she lit
orally lived upon ice cream, with the
result to effect complete and appa'
