The Grip is Again With Us.


There is reason 10 believe that the
country i agaiu Threatened with an
epidemic of the grip, the disease
which caused so much distress and 80
many deaths when it visited this
country two years ago. Physicians
throughout the country who have
been puzzled during the last two
weeks at the many cases of sickness
which they have been unable 10 eN-
plain. have concluded that it Is a
revisitation of the grip. Their theory
is borne out by the statement Of super
wishing Surgeon General Wynan, OF
the marine hospital service, who said
that the reports sent him weekly by
the representative of the hospital
service, all over the country ante in
the announcement that the grip l.
making its reappearauce, and that
the points along the Atlantic coast
appear to be particularly attacked.
The physicians here report a mum
Der of eases in Shepherdstown aud
vicinity, some persons being very Sc
verely attacked.

A PECULIAR FAMILY.
$1,000 Found in a Dead Woman's Trunk
Twenty-seven Miles to Funeral.

$1,000 Found in a Dead Woman's Trunk
Twenty-seven Miles to a Funeral.
The death of Miss Catherine McAfee
at Antietam Cement Mill, on the
MARYLAND side of the river, mile be-
low Shepherdstown reveals some
interesting circumstances of very
peculiar family. This family moved
from Smoketown, in Washington
county, to the Blackford farm at the
cement mill last spring. 1t was com
posed of the mother, an aged woman,
two bachelor sons and three maiden
daughters, one of whom was OF I'M
sound mind. Miss Catherine has been
sick for some time past, aud last Fri
day afternoon at o clock she appa-
rently died. Preparations were being
made for the funeral, when she revived
somewhat and lived until 9 o'clock
that night, when the breath finally
left her body.
The dead woman, as we'll as the
OllltIS Vi tue ldllllN liNtN4 al wv WI y
plniuest style. She was never seen
at least Of late years-in anything
finer than a calico dress. In her
trunk, however, were three fine silk
dress patterns that had never been
cut, aud carefully concealed in the
same receptacle was Il thousand dol
lars in cash. Her sister, Miss Mar
garet, insisted that the money ana
the dresses be buried with the corpse.
She said it had been GATHERINGS own
and no one tlse had Il right TO it. Her
peculiar IDEAS Of honesty impressed
her with the belief that the owner of
the property should not be separated
from it even in death. Her wishes
were over-ruled, though.
Saturday David McAfee went to
Hagerstown to buy some clothing Tor
himself and brother TO wear at the
funeral. They have sixteen good
horses on the farm, but he walked all
the way to Hagerstown and back,
distance OF 30 miles in al.
The funeral was held last Monday.
The body was buried at Foxville,
away up in the mountains. The tu-
neral PROCESSION started at s o'clock
in the morning, drove the twenty
seven miles 10 the burial place, and
returned the same night, reaching
home at 3 o'clock the following morn
inc. They drove tiftyfour miles in
all, taking nineteen hours forthe trip
As before stated, the McAfees are
very peculiar people. They are well
TODD. aud their horses, cows and live
stock, Of which they possess large
number, are Of the very best. None
of the family knew that their sister
mad the money in her trunk, and no
one can tell how much money they
have. They live in the pIaineSt aud
most primitive way, and still use the
old line fat lamp for Il light at night.
rney are honest and industrious to
an unusual degree, and attend to
their own business. They transact
business in Shepherd.towu, but there
are few persons here who know them,
us they come to town only when they
have an GRAND, and when it has been
attended TO they return to their
home. Many interesting stories are
told of their peculiar ways, but a.
they attend strictly to their own bust
ness they doubtless desire other per
sons to do the same, including the
REGISTER reporter.
