julius Didericksen, the Danish sculp-
tor, would have gained Immortality with
his group, 1.-The Struggle For Liberty"
if he had never done anything else
worthy to survive. 1t is of the sort
that marks an epoch in the history OF
art and eliminating point in the gen
ius of the artist. 1t is the antithesis OF
the LAGOON" of which it is inherently
suggestive, and from an art standpoint
is worthy to take its place beside that
ancient masterpiece. One hardly knows
whether to be glad or sorry that it was
not placed on exhibition at the Worlds
fair. Surrounded, as it must have been
there, by other works that might have
distracted some of the attention it de-
serves, the conviction is yet irresistible

Fire at Shenandoah Junction.

There was big fire at Shenandoah
Junction little after o'clock Mon
day afternoon, when the twostory
frame building owned by Blackford
Brothers was completely destroyed.
The building contained on the lower
floor DR.. r. NJ. Marshall's otlics.
Blackboard Bros. Office and the meat
shop of G. b. Hesser. The second
story was occupied by the Masonic
lodge. Mr. Hesser started the fire by
lighting a gasoline stove. Some OF
the inflanmable fluid was split, and
when he struck match there was
big blaze right away. lie Just mad
time to get out of the room, and
couldn't save thing in it. The
neighbors quickly gathered, but by
the time couple of gallons more Of
gasoline in the building had exploded
nothing could save il. y whole beef
hanging in the room was roasted,
we'll done, too, and two bran new
suits belonging to Mr.. Hesser and his
clerk were burned, with about So in
money. DR.. Marshall lost about
hundred dollars in books, medicines,
SC, as everybody was too excited to
carry his belongings out. Mr.. 5. l..
Williams broke open the doors OF
Blackford Bros. Office and saved their
books. Not thing was saved from
the lodge room, and the Masons lost
all they had there. Thsre was con
siderable danger to Mr.. Williams
store on the right and Blackfords
machine shops OH the LETT, but lines
of men with buckets of water pre-
vented the fire from spreading. For
tunately there was no wind. We un-
derstand that Blackford Bros loss
will be about 81 900, on which there
is an insurance Of 500.

The Question of jurisdiction.

me Qu6SUOh OF OuIISHICWON.
Atths trial of the State ". John
Bartges, charged with the murder of
Charles McCabe, whose body was
found in boat on the Potomac river,
which was held during the recent
term Of the circuit court of Berkeley
county, the question of jurisdiction
was mooted. Judge T.. Boyd Faux
ner indicated that upon that ques
ton he would instruct tho jury that
the circuit court OF Berkeley county
has jurisdiction to try the accused for
any crime committed upon that part
Of the river opposite the county OF
Berkeley to low water mark on the
MARYLAND shore thereof unless it bS
shown to the jury that the accused
are citizens OF the State of Maryland.
The Judge takes the ground that the
question OF Jurisdiction is thus set
tied by a compact between the State
of Virginia aud that of Maryland and
the statutes made in this State in
pursuance thereof. This view having
been expressed, the question Of juris-
diction was not before jury, and from
all the evidence in the case the de
PENDANT was found not guilty. This
question has never been judicially
settled and it is one of great impor-
lance TO the counties composing this
court and all others bordering on the
Potomac river.

Convicted of Criminal Libel.


The trial of the case of the State Of
West Virginia vs.. +. Vernon Aler for
criminal libel was heard in the circuit
court of Berkeley county last week,
Judge Il. w. Daley, of the twelfth
circuit, presiding. l. s. q. Pitzerap-
peared for the State and }. Nelson
Wisner for the defense. The State
put several witnesses on the stand to
prove its case but the defense declined
to examine any witnesses, and the at
tornevs went at once to arguing the
matter to the jury The jury were in
their room but short while when
they returned bringing in u verdict
Of guilty. 1t will be remembered
that last August year G. &. Neney,
a colOred boy in the employ OF Mir.
Geo. +. Evans, shot one James Daily,
a Snowman who was passing through
Mr.. Evans premises, and AIer
charged Evans with giving the boy
instructions to shoot. and further
charged him with being implicated
with the lynching of the negro, John
ToIliver, in 1874. The counsel for the
defense, as soon as the verdict was
announced, moved for a new trial, but
Judge Daley overrulsd the motion,
and proceeded to pass sentence on
Mr.. Aler. The prosecuting attorney,
Mr.. Pitzer, made personal appeal
TO the court for as light a sentence as
POSSIBLE under the law. The court
imposed a fine of $50 and the costs Of
the defendant.

Another LaHd-Mdrk Gone.

The old frame building that for
twenty-five years has stood in King
street, at the corner OF the College
grounds, is being removed. The
building, which belonged to Mr..
Jacob Wintermoyer, was sold to Lee
Williams, colored. who is having ii
removed to his lot on the pike. The
structure was erected in 1868 by Mr..
Jack Ray and used as a shoemaker 5
shop. The town council actually
leased the sidewalk and street on the
public square, for that purpose, and
the lease was renewed a couple OF
times since. OF course there was no
authority for such use of the street,
but nobody complained and there
the building stayed. Mr.. Wintermoy-
e. subsequently bought the house,
and for fifteen years conducted a
clothing store in it. He has just fin
ished his own new business house and
moved into it, and the old shahty has
had to go. Its removal means the
disappearance of an eyesore in the
town, and everybody is glad to see it
go. A brick pavement leading 10 the
town hall will at once be laid.
They had a great time moving the
building. Mr.. William Meleester
bossed the job. The house was blocked
up and the wheels of Mr. Melsester's
wagon were placed under it by some
ingenious work. About shutdown all
was ready, and at the word the wagon
was gently moved forward. As it
crossed the gutter there was al omi-
nous snap, and a moment later the
rear axle broke and dropped the
building III the middle Of the street.
Another axle was put in place as soon
as possible, as the Mayor had or
dered the building TO be arrested if it
stayed out all night. About nine
o'clock the building was properly
loaded once more, and about forty
men and boys started up street with
it. This trip was roaring success,
and the whole business was pulled
I'D the Main street with great ectat,
attended by big crowd. 1t only
took q short time to get it to its desti
nation, and Mr.. Williams now has q
] house to rent.
