Very Alarming RumOrS.

Last Friday evening was time of
alarming rumors in Shepherdstown
Gilmore Neil, son Of Mrs. Ida H.
NELL, went fishing after school. He
did not return at dark, and his mother
naturally felt somewhat uneasy. Then
along came a little girl with the dis
nal information that a man had told
her that Gilmore was drowned. His
mother was very greatly distressed for
a little while, but soon found that her
son was alive and well and the proud
possessor of bass that would weigh
at least half pound.
An hour or two later, Just as the
audience was about to leave the town
hall from the literary entertainment,
a rumor was brought to the door that
President Cleveland had been assas-
sinated. The news flashed through
the hall in an instant, and everyone
was Mortified. The crew of a freight
train had brought the news from Ha-
gerstown. There was great excite
ment for time, but Agent Hartzell
called up Washington by telegraph
and got word there wasn't a bit Of
truth in the report

Severe Storms.

Severe Storms.
Last Sunday afternoon and even
ing was a stormy time in this section.
About noon the clouds began to boil
up in the west, and an unusually an
Cry looking storm passed around to
the north, making its way eastward
across Washington county. Other
storms circled around, and finally
Shelherdstown and vicinity got It's
share. About 4 o'clock the lightning
flashed the thunder rolled and the
rain fell in torrents. In a few min
utes the cutters were rivers. A
driving wind dashed the rain in blind
ing sheets, and then the hail began to
crackle sharply against the glass.
Fortunately the hail-stones were small
and there were few of them. The
wind broke few trees down, but no
damage of consequence was done by
it. Some fields of newly planted corn
were badly washed by the enormous
volume of water that fell and will have
to be replanted.
The storms were general, and in
other sections much mole damage was
done than in this vicinity. In the
neighborhood Of Hagerstown the hail
damaged crops and fruits some, and
a good deal of glass was broken. In
Frederick there was a food. The B.
& O. tracks between Shenandoah juno
ton and Baltimore were flooded and
washed, and landslides were frequent.
Heavy damage was done on the old
line this side of Ellicott City. Traffic
on the C. & O. canal was delayed by
heavy sandbars being washed into the
canal.
