They Fouqht Like Wildcats


A gentleman from the lower part OF
the county narrated to Hagerstown
Globe man the particulars OF most
disgraceful scene that was enacted III
the vicinity Of Antietam Iron Works,
Sharpsburg district, on last Thursday
and Friday. Two young women,
neighbors, aged respectively about
eighteen and nineteen years, had u
disagreement, it is understood, about
man, and determined To pull hair
and generally disgrace themselves in
settlement of the differences. The
girls met on the highway and ringIets
and calico strewed the place. Several
rounds were fought the first day, to
the discredit of several persons who
witnessed the fight and permitted it
to go on uninterrupted. We are in
formed that one of the girls had cher
dress torn off of her and considerable
hair parted company with each Of
the heads. Not satisfied with the first
days combat, the girls met next day
in an open field and had another set
to. and the marks of the conflict are
carried O 4 the faces of both belliger-
ents. While the girls were pretty
evenly matched as to strength, feroci
ty, revensefuluess and abandon, one
OF them gained slight advantage over
the other and she prides herself upon
being the victor. 1t is understood
that the women will be arrested and
made to suffer the force OF the law in
outraging the morals and sensibilities
OF the community in the manner mar
rated.

A LANDMARK GONE.
The Old Bark-House Torn Down 70 Make
Room for Modern improvement.

Shepherdstown folks have noted
with rejoicing this week the destruc
ton of one of its old landmarks-au
eyesore for many years. The old
bark-house of the tannery that is now
no longer in operation, that stood on
the main street, directly opposite
Shepherd College, was pulled down
the hrst of the week and its site is
now being cleared for the erection Of
a new business building.
No one now living in Shepherds
town remembers when the bark-house
was erected The tannery was es-
tablished there in the latter part Of
the last century by John Motter,
grandfather OF Mr.. Presley Marina
duke, and there is little doubt that
the structure was built then-a hun
dred years ago. 1t was a large
frame building, aud many OF the
timbers in it are still almost perfectly
preserved. 1t never could have been
handsome structure, and rs it grew
more weather beaten, and as circus
bills and whitewash struggled for SUI
premacy, it became more aud more
Of an eyesore Then when a few
years ago the tannery ceased opera
tious and the bark-houSe was turned
into a livery stable. with strong
smells prevailing, and packed full Of
hay, it became dangerous nuisance,
and was the source of constant alarm
TO the people of that part OF the
town on account OF the fear of fire.
Hence, no regrets were expressed
when the old rattle-trap was incon-
tinently leveled.
Mr.. Jacob Wintermoyer, who pur-
chased the lot from Mr.. Chapline
some months ago, will erect a build
ing for his clothing store, TO be two
stories high with glass front, with
iron sheeting in imitation Of brick
work. The upper part will be thrown
into one large room. The building
will be % 80 feet in size.
The old building at present occu-
pied by Mr.. Wintermoyer will be re-
moved, thus adding much to the APP
pearance of the college grounds. The
meat-shop OF Frazier & Son has also
been torn down and removed. The
proposed changes will make improve
ment. all around and the main street
will appear TO much better advantage
when they shall have been completed.

Several Boxes of Insects Arrive
and are Turned Loose in
Kalihi Valley.

Commissioner of Agriculture
Marsden received several boxes of
the insect scale destroyers by yes
terday's steamer. They came down
on ice, and were in splendid condi-
ton, being as lively as crickets
when released.
The insects for the worst kinds
of blight did not come, but are ex-
pected on the next through
steamer. 1t is not known when
Prof. Koebele will arrive, but it
will probably be soon. When he
does, an extended examination of
the prevalent blights will be made,
and the professor will start for
Japan to obtain the needed insects
for their destruction.
The arrivals of yesterday were
released in Kalihi valley, where
there is a great deal of scale
on the trees. They got down
to work Immediately, and seemed
to understand just what was re-
quired of them.

The Two-Minute Trotter.

Twenty years ago the two-minute
trotter would have been considered
an impossibility, for in 1874 Gold
smith Maids mile in 2:14 was be-
lieved to be the ultimate possibility
of trotting speed. Nine years ago
Jay-Eye-See trotted in 2:10, and a
year later Maud S. turned the
Cleveland track in 2 :0S4. In 1891
Sunol showed mile in 2:0S4, and
then came the bicycle sulky, which
has changed the scale of trotting
records and which made possible
the mile in 2:04 of Nancy Hanks.
1t is, however, apparent that
while a few horses have demon
strated that they can trot quarters
in less that thirty seconds and
halves close to but slower than one
minute, no trotter has shown the
sustained speed to finish mile at
the same gait. When Directum
went to the half in / :004 he could
not do the last half better than
1 :064. A like result has attended
the efforts of all the other flyers.
The two minute trotter may
come. But when the phenomenon
appears it must be in the
shape of an animal that can
trot the quarter in twenty-seven
or twenty-eight seconds, that
can go to the half in fifty-eight
seconds, and that can then finish
the mile with quarters in thirty
one seconds. Such a trotter has
not yet been seen, but his evolution
does not seem impossible. N. Y.

a Heavy Mail.

The steamer Mariposa has an I'M
usually heavy mail on board for
the various ports to which she is
bound. For New Zealand she has
$50 bags, for Sydney $50, for Homo
lulu so, for Samoa, FIJI and war
ships about twenty, or a total of
$50 bags. It is not certain whether
she had on board the London mail
sent out via Vancouver to go by
the S. S. Miowera, but as no refer
ence was made to it at the San
Francisco post Office it probably
was not sent on from Vancouver.

One on the Captain.

A stowaway, who was discovered
on the Mariposa day or two after
she started, was a trifle too smart
for the ships company Friday.
Shortly after the steamer locked,
Captain Hayward, who had sent a
man ashore for a policeman to take
charge of his free passenger, let
his eye wander away from his
prisoner for minute. That min
ute was all that the stowaway
wanted, and he Immediately beat
a hasty retreat down the gang
plank and departed for unknown
parts. At last accounts he was still
in those unknown parts, waiting
for the officer to find him.

The detention of the Mariposa
one day in leaving San Francisco
was caused by portion of the
European mail having been on a
train which arrived at San Fran
cisco day late. The London mail
is supposed to go by special ex-
press train, which has to leave
New York promptly on time. When
a part Of the mail fails to reach the
depot at the appointed hour it has
to be sent by the next train. This
is sometimes the cause of the
through steamer being late.

DeVauchelle Gets a Severe Sen
tence For Smuggling Opium.


tence For Smuggling Opium.
E. Devauchelle, who, with ].
Cockett, was arrested some days
ago and charged with having opium
in his possession, was Wednesday
fined $500, and sentenced to six
months imprisonment at hard
labor. He at once appealed to the
circuit court. AS he left the court
room he was again arrested and
charged with selling opium unlaw-
fully.
The case was clear one against
the defendant. A Chinaman named
All Lum, who had been furnished
money by Captain Andrews, bought
forty-nine tins of the drug. They
put the tins into a carriage for the
Chinaman, and soon after were ar
rested, and the opium brought to
the station house. They demanded
separate trials, and Devauchelle's
resulted as above.
I.Cockett the young man who was
arrested with E. Devauchelle for
having opium in his possession, was
convicted in the district court yes
terday and sentenced to six months
Imprisonment at hard labor and to
pay fine of five hundred dollars.
Cockett at the time of his arrest
was offered immunity from prosecu-
ton if he would turn States evil
dence against Devauchelle but he
refused and demanded a separate
trial from his fellow-prisoner, with
the above result.
