A ghost has made its appearance in
the graveyard surrounding the his
toric First Presbyterian church, which

the bones of many Revolutionary sol
diers. The phantom was seen first
by John Weunser, a baker, who works
opposite the graveyard. He was going
TO get PAL OF beer about midnight
He was walking along, thinking, when
he was startled by an unearthly sound
from the graveyard. He beheld 3
specter moving to and fro among the
headstones and IL was muttering in
deep tones.
The specter must have been the re.
turned spirit of some dead soldier, for
upon seeing the baker 1t raised its
arms as IL aiming gun After taking
sight II uttered n groan. The unseen
gun didn't go off. AS Wcunser stood
rooted 10 the spot the ghost picked up
two stones "a large as bricks and
hurled them at him. One struck the
iron fence that surrounds the grave
yard. The other, Wcunser says.
struck his hat and knocked II on.
Wounser then ran buck TO the bakery
and upstairs into the proprietor's
apartments where party was in the
midst Of dance. He told his ex-
perience. Several young men rushed
from the building and searched the
shurch-yard with lanterns. hut failed
to find any trace of a human being.

A Rousing Donation.

Last Friday evening the members
and friends from Shepherdstown and
Sharpsburg, visited the Methodist par
8onage in this place, filling the large
double parlors and dining-room to
OVERLOOKING, each bringing with them
something as a slight token of appre-
cation of and esteem for their pastor
Rev. J. R. Schultz, and his family.
The pantry was well stocked with the
good things of this life, and the pas
tors horse was well remembered with
a good supply of corn. After spend
ing two or three hours together in
social conversation the friends took
their departure, feeling in their hearts
ut is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." May prosperity attend them.

Will Buy a New Organ.

At congregational meeting OF the
members of the Lutheran Church OF
Shepherdstown last Sunday 1t was
determined to raise money for the
purchase of a new pipe organ for the
church. The pastor, Rev. c. H. Hockey
presented the plan, and Mr.. G. NJ
Beethoven took charge of the work
of obtaining subscriptions. There was
a prompt and liberal response on the
part of the members, and, counting
some subscriptions that have since
been received, about thousand dollars
has been contributed. This amount
makes the project success, for there
is little doubt that the balance needed
will be quickly secured. The com
mittee has in mind several very fine
instruments, any one of which are o.
great power and beauty of tone.

A Narrow Escape.

Mr.. Joseph Hess, living near Dut-
fields Depot, narrowly escaped ter
rible death last Friday evening, about
dusk. He was crossing the railroad at
the Duffelds and Shepherdstown cross
ing. A freight train was standing on
the siding, between his side of the road
and the main track, completely obscur-
ing the approach of train on the main
track. As he reached the middle OF
the railroad train came laundering
along, striking his horse and killing
it and demolishing the road-cart IN
which he was riding. His timely
jump in the right direction was the only
thing that saved him from an instant
and horrible death. This is the second
accident at railroad crossings in the
past ten days, and emphasizes the
necessity of either having gates or
watchmen. 1t is a criminal disregard
of duty to the public that railroads
are not compelled to provide for the
safety of people travelling the high
ways which cross their roads.-Adro-

A Great Improvement.

The work of fitting out the Shep-
herd College property with a modern
system of hot-water heating has been
finished by the contractors, Messrs.
Trimble & Lutz, of Wheeling, who
have done an excellent job of work:
Radiators have been placed in every
room in the college building, including
the halls, as well as in the large hall
adjoining the college. The furnace
and boiler is located in the basement
of the hall, which was remodeled to
admit of its reception. From this
point the hot water is circulated to
all parts of the buildings. The boiler
is of the Furman pattern, and the
whole outfit is of the best material and
workmanship. The radiators and the
pipes that are exposed to view are
handsomely gilded. There has been,
of course, no severe weather yet by
which the efficiency of the system
could be tested, but as it is planned
on scientific calculations there is no
doubt that it will fully come up to
expectations. Mr.. G. NJ. Beltzhoover,
of the college executive committee,
gave his personal attention to the
placing of the contract and the fulfill
ment of its requirements, and did
much to forward this splendid i'm.

The beautiful home of j. S. Coxey,
the man who led the forlorn hope Of
Coxeyites to Washington in May last,
was burned recently near Massillon,
Ohio. 1t was filed with costly brio
a-brac and fine furniture, all of which
was lost. The loss is estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000. The fire is sup
posed to have been of incendiary origin.
Coxey was the populist candidate for
Congress from that district, and during
the canvass he has made some enemies.
It is supposed some Of them have taken
this means of revenge.
