A BAD MOVE.

"Mr. P. R. Harrison, was, at the
last meeting of the Edison Illuminating
Co., made secretary, treasurer and
general manager. Mr.. Chas. G..
Smith, who has been general manager
of the company ever since they started
working is thus succeeded by Mr.. Har-
rison. Mr.. Smith was one of the in
corporators of the company, was the
chief mover in It's organization, is a
stakeholder, and it is due in great
measure to his energy that the com
pany has met with such success. The
dispensing of his services, although
under the guise of cutting down ex-
penses, was bad move by the COM
pany, which it will certainly regret. y
-Independent.
We agree with you, brother. The
credit for our electric light plant is
entirely due Mr.. Smith, and we be-
heve too, twill effect the company to a
more or less extent. Mr.. Smith has
spent his entire life here, is hard.
working and energetic citizen, and has
been the means of making the com.
pany what it is. We would wage,
our existence that the present secre
tary will not get his coat off and dc
the dirty work that Mr.. Smith has
done. But, of course, now that every
thing is in good shape, Mr.. Smith is
no longer needed. True it is, SO
young man is not without honor, save
in his own land.n

INCORRECT.

For several days past it has been
rumored that Mr.. E. M. Purdee, of the
new furniture factory, had left the
city. The rumor is incorrect, and
there are no grounds for it whatever.
To WORLD reporter Saturday night
Mr.. Purdee stated that he "was here
to stay" He further concluded that
" the people of this city were very
kind and agreeable toward him, and
that he was perfectly satisfied"
On Saturday Mr.. Purdee shipped the
first car load of his goods to the Balti-
more market, and is in fair way for
large demands and ready markets.
Success.

MURDER IN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

A terrible tragedy occurred in Shep-
herdstown Wednesday evening about
6 o'clock. A young man by the name
Of Harry Shoots shot through the
head and almost instantly killed a
young lady named Susie Ferrels, aged
about 20, daughter of Mr. Chas. Ferrel.
He had been paying attentions to the
young lady for some time, and, it is
said, had threatened to kill her if she
refused to marry him.,
Sheriff Morgan succeeded in landing
Shoots in the Charlestown Jail. An
excited crowd gathered and threats OF
lynching were very freely made.

A BRILLIANT WEDDING.

The marriage Tuesday evening of
Mr. Edward J. Mcdonald and
Miss Cordelia Sprinkle, at 5 o'clock,
in st. Joseph's Church, was very
brilliant affair. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Father H. J Nc
Keefry. The bridal party entered the
church preceded by the ushers,
Messrs. McAdams and Getzendanner,
of Cumberland; Chas. Violate, of Har-
per's Ferry; W. Santman, ]. l. Nc
Donald, brother of the groom, and
Leslie Sprinkle, brother of the bride.
Mr.. Oscar Sprinkle, a brother of the
bride, acted as groomsman, and Miss
Mcdonald, sister of the groom, as
bridesmaid, who followed the ushers.
They were followed by the bride, lean
ing on the arm of the groom. The
bride wore trailing gown of light tan
colored cloth, trimmed in velvet, with
hat to match, and carried a boquet of
Marechal Mel roses. The brides maid
was attired in gown to match that of
the bride. After the ceremony they
proceeded to the B. & O. depot, where
they took the 4:30 train for Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York.
Both parties are very popular here,
and well thought of. The presents
were numerous and handsome. To
the happy couple we extend congratu-
lations and best wishes.

JEFFERSON SAVINGS BANK CLOSED

GbSOrN oa lN1S DAN IA N1OS u.
Shepherdstown Register.
When the daily papers arrived in
Shepherdstown last Friday morning,
and the failure of the old banking
firm of j. J. Nicholson & Sons, of Bal
timore, was revealed. considerable ex-
element was created here, for it was
known that tbs Jefferson Savings
Bank was heavy depositor with that
institution. A meeting of the direc-
tors Of the Jefferson Savings Bank was
Immediately called, and after a confer
ence it was decided to close the bank
temporarily to avoid a run upon its
funds that might prove disastrous. The
doors were thereupon locked and a
notice posted up announcing tempo
rary suspension, with the statement
that no loss to depositors was antici-
pated.
jefferson Savings Bank had SIS, 900
on deposit with the Nicholson Bank.
The loss of this sum of itself would
not have prevented continuance of
business, but of course the bank was
not in position to stand heavy run
upon its funds, which would in all
probability have resulted had it re-
manned open. The directors have been
using every endeavor to make arrange
ments for resuming business at as early
date as possible, but at this writing
we can give no assurance of when that
will be. A paper has been signed by
| ,,,nct of tho InrNncito,.e, - -
withdraw more than ten per cent. of
their deposits in any one month, and
when a sufficient amount shall have
been signed, in all probability the bank
will resume business. The creditors of
the bank have shown every disposition
to help it out of its present difficulty,
and the directors assure the depositors
that no loss will be sustained by them.
The failure of the Nicholson Bank
was a great surprise, not only to the
people of the South and West, where
they had extensive connections, but to
Baltimoreans also. 1t was established
in 1928, and has always done large
business. A few weeks ago its head,
Mr.. Andrew J. Nicholson, died very
suddenly, and its rotten condition
could no longer be successfully con-
cealed. 1t now transpires that for
some time past it has been in shaky
condition and its business conducted
in very loose way. After the death
| of Andrew Nicholson, Mr.. J. H. R.
Nicholson had practical charge of the
bank, but in couple of weeks he gave
way under the strain and he is now
reported to be a mental and physica
wreck
The Nicholson Bank was the cores
pondent of number of banks in West
Virginia and in the Valley of Virginia
several of which are reported to bt
heavy losers by it. It's failure has
also resulted in the assignment O.
three Baltimore firms the Baltimor,
Publishing Company, the building sup
plies firm of Geo. 0. Stephens, and tn,
boot and shoe house or Allnutt, Nixon
and Goldsborough.
Trustees of the defunct bank hav,
not yet prepared a statement of its as
sets and liabilities, but it is general,
believed that it is complete smash
The liabilities may run up to million
dollars, while the assets will scarcel
lbe couple Of hundred thousand.

Now for Christian Unity.

1t has been very considerable time
since this city has acted as the host of a re-
hgious convention. But there has been one
in progress at Madison Square Garden.
which as i'll most respects remarkable and
in many ways the present cul Elimination of an
exceedingly important movement Beyond
the wide range of its influence the ork
of the International Christian Endeavor
Convent on will be watched with profound
interest. Its delegates represent, more
particularly than any other religious
organization, we believe, the young people
Of the country. With this element of
success and growth it would seem to be
bound to succeed beyond even the SPLEEN
did hopes OF its founders, for where there
is youth there are enthusiasm and the
most brilliant of promises.
With the power which these elements
of success give them the leaders OF the
movement have Il greater duty before them
than the mere encouragement of Christian
work along UNCONVENTIONAL lines. They
have within their reach possibility that
will give the Christian concerted power
that he does not now possess. With such
a nucleus as is afforded by this Convention,
Christian unity should no longer be merely
an idea for discussion, but an ACCOMPLISH
ed fact. With an organization such as
the ladies and gentlemen at Madison Square
Garden perfected, intidelity should lose
its outposts at the first assault. New York

Continued few arrivals and a diminishing
supply OF otf-sllore tonnage have contributed
a somewhat better tone to the market. and
petroleum treights by small and medium
size vessels to the Baltic have advanced
For large carriers to the United Kingdom
and Continent there is very little demand,
but the few vessels on the spot are held for
higher figures. Case oil frieghts to the East
indies, China and Japan are without i'm
provement, and the same may be said of long
voyage general cargo freights, the demand for
this class of vessels at the moment being
very limited. There are, however, fewer
vessels Offering from the other side Deal
and timber freghts are firm, on basis of late
fixtures, with fair enquiry for tonnage in
the right position. River Plate and Brazil
freights are firm for handy small and medium
size vessels, but the enquiry is somewhat
less active than in the recent past There is
no change in naval store freights from the
South to Europe, with moderate demand
for medium size vessels. For Italian ports
there have been two or three fixtures for
tobacco at POS to 21s I'd for Kentucky hhds
Vessels suitable for West India and other
short foreign voyages continue in small sup
ply, and, with poor return rights, they are
generally held for higher rates. Yellow
pine coastwise freights are inactive, but
nomlnally firm, especially from Gulf ports.
Coal freights Eastward are less active, but
unchanged.

MIR. NiIliken's Political Future.

The Journal is authorized by Mr.. Miliken
to say that any statement to the effect that
he has promised Mr.. III. NJ. Heath, or any
other man, his support for Congress two
years hence, in return for pers onal services,
is absolutely without foundation. Mr. MILL
ken is aware that such reports have been in
dustriously circulated, and for an obvious
purpose, but he explicitly denies that there
is any truth in them. He asserts that his
political future is in no way compromised.
1t seems evident from this that Mr.. Milliken
purposes to again be candidate for re-nom-

shall assemble. Kennebec Journal.
