DEERING.
Talk About New Site for City Building
The Toothplck Factory Shut Down
The Effects of the Storm.

The storm has played havoc with the
filling operations in Back Cove at Deer
ings Bridge. EARLY this spring it re-
ouired over two days for dump carts to
cover the top of the great square wooden
sewer with two feet of earth. The waves
that came down from the northeast with
this big wind lately removed that earth
in about two hours. Thursday night the
waves washed away and the tide carried
out through the channel so carloads OF
gravel that the Electric Railroad Co. had
inst dumped on the future site OF the
power station The bulkhead OF piles
had been driven down but the gravel
went ont between them. Yesterday the
piles were planked or 80 carloads more
would have gone by this time.
The toothpick factory at Morrill's Cor
ner shut down Thursday night. For
some time the toothpicks have been ac-
cumulating and have been hauled to the
building of the shovel factory at Rocky
Hill. There is an immense quantity OF
them stored there now. AS there is no
GOOD market at present, it has been de-
cided 10 stop the manufacture.
There has been some talk among prom
inent Deering men lately, including some
If the aldermen, of taking advantage OF
a splendid opportunity to secure new
site for a future city building worthy OF
| the city.
On the south side, near the head OF
Pleasant street, is great open lot OF
about two acres of field, that was part
| of the DR.. Clark estate. He willed 1T to
hommorathic hospital institution, with
the proviso that if they did not erect
building within certain time the land
should revert to Kent's Hill Seminary.
Tt has so reverted and is in charge OF
charge of Hon. Joseph Locke and B. M.
Eastman, rof Eastman Brothers They
now offer it to the city for city hall site
and park at very advantageous terms.
There will be plenty of room for walks
and trees. 1t is high land and just as
near the geographical centre of the city
as it is possible to estimate. 1t might be
desirable simply for the city to now Sc

missing his errand, made bets for and
against the success of his mission. Then
the hoof beats died away, the dust
that he had raised blew off into the
fields, the hot sun beat down, and all
was still again. Capt. Maftlndale and
his men at the house dismounted ana
sat upon the porch. Mrs. Faulkner and
her daughters, scarce daring to hope for
success, busted themselves in packing a
few trunks, while the frightened ser
wants ran hither and thither, wailing
and weeping.
The minutes sped. Ten. twenty. thirty
were gone. Still no sign of the messenger
The women at the house had lost all
hope, and one of the daughters urged
the captain to give them little more
time.
81 am very sorry, madam" he said,
"hut I have no authority to grant
single minute beyond the hour. / have
no taste for my errand, assure you,
but l must obey orders"
Forty-fve minutes were past and the
road was still as death. The soldiers at
the gates grew boisterous IN their assur-
ance that the house was doomed. Fifty
minutes! To the trembling Ewomen,
standing on the portico the clock seemed,
alive with demoniac energy. The sec
ond hand fairly flew around its dial.
Fifty-one, two, three, four!
Saved just in Time.
Suddenly from the gate there came a
sound of cheer--it grew louder, but
not SO loud that it drowned the noise
of a horse galloping at full speed. The
messenger had been deserted at the top OF
hill quarter of mile away. and'
fearful that he was late, he dashed his
horse to a furious pace, and above ms
head he waved a paper. lnfecIed WIN
the spirit of the drivers enthusiasm,
the federal soldiers cheered him on, and
as he passed them swinging into the gate
they forgot their partlsanshlp and bade
him speed.
The clock lacked just five minutes OF
the hour when, with his horse fairly
blown, the messenger drew up in front
of the porch. He did not need to descend
from the saddle, for the captain had
sprung from his seat on the porch, and
with eager hand took the paper from
the rider and quickly passed 1T up to
Mrs. Faulkner, who, with tears in her
eyes, stood eagerly awaiting the news
from Washington. So agitated was she
that she could hardly open the envelope
in which the telegram was inclosed, but
when at last she unfolded the paper she
read aloud as follows:
"The property of Charles James Faux
ner is exempt from the order of Gen.
David S. Hunter for the burning of the
residences of three prominent citizens
of the Shenandoah valley in retaliation
for the burning of Gov. Bradford's house
in Maryland by the Confederate forces.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN".
And so the grand old home was saved:
The other houses, however, were burned
that day, one of the two being that Of
cousin of Gen. Hunter.

Bethel Church Concert.

They .P.S.C.E of gthe Bethel Church
succeeded in giving another excellent en-.
tertainment to the sailors of the English
steamers Thursday evening. The most
interesting feature of the evening was
the Young Peoples band, which rem
cred several selections in a highly profic
lent manner. Major J. M. Gould's song
aChickasa" delighted everybody. The
sailors, as usual, responded to the in.
vitation to sing. This will probably be
the last social of the season for the
sailors.

The Old and the New.

Changes take place in the medical pro-
fession as in all branches of science. We
believe the greatest good will follow that
generous offer made by DR.. Green, of "a
Temple Place, Boston, Mass, who invites
all persons, far and near, suffering from
any form of disease, to write him de-
scription of their complaints, and he will
send them, free of charge. a complete ex-
Dlanation OF their diseases, with advice
how to be cured. He gives most careful
and explicit attention to all letters and
explains each symptom SO carefully that
YOU cannot fail to understand exactly
what ais you.
DR.. Greene is our most successful
specialist in curing nervous and chronic
famous medicine. Dr. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, which is doing
such vast amount of good all over the
world. He uses nothing in his practice
but harmless vegetable medicines, which
can in no manner injure you. This great
system of giving consultation and advice
through letter correspondence, free of
charge, is especially important to the poor
and those living at a distance from large
cities, as such consultation and advice
were formerly attended by great expense.
The doctor is having wonderful success
in treating the sick through letter CORE
spondence, and if you will write him
about your disease it will undoubtedly
lead to your cure.

SHE SAVED HER HOME.
An Interesting "reminiscences of the Moth
er of Senator Faulkner-Her Successful
Appeal to the Secretary of War When
the Homestead was to be Destroyed.


Appeal to the Secretary of War When
the Homestead was to be Destroyed
The death Of Mrs. Mary j. Faulkner
on Tuesday last, in Winchester, Sa.,.
recalls to mind dramatic episode OF
the late war, in which she was the cher
participant, and which has been neglect
ed generally by the historians OF thai
stormy epoch. Mrs. Faulkner was the
widow of the late Charles j. Faulkner
who was minister to France during the
administration of President Buchanan
and the mother of Senator Faulkner of
West Virginia. After her marriage she
and her husband lived at the magnlh-
cent homestead of her family in Martins
burg then in old Virginia but now
city of the new State. 1t was house
such as one seldom sees even i'll the
South which abounds SO freely in solid
massive architecture of a most comforta-
BILE style. The rooms were large, the cell
ings high and most of the walls were
three feet in thickness. The house WAS
filled with treasures, curiositles picked
up abroad, bits of china and virtu, dainty
bric-a- brac from European marts, costly
paintings from continental galleries and
delicate fabrics from oriental looms.
Such a collection is not often seen III
private houses in this country. The
house was surrounded too by glorious
park, lawn of several acres in extent
covered with soft thick grass and STUDIO
ed with the remnants of a virgin forest.
1t was almost an earthly paradise. Not
alone was the home valuable as a prop
erty but it was dear for it's memories,
it's associations, AS well as its unre-
placeabe contents. Such was the home
that Minister Faulkner left when be
went TO his post at Paris, where he used
his efforts in aid Of the Southern cause
so openly that upon the inauguration OF
President Lincoln the minister was re-
called and arrested upon his return. He
was represented at his home by his son,
then lad of fourteen, who had Deen
with him in Europe, and who Went TO
Martinsburg at once. But the sounds OF
war drew the lad off to the front, and
he Joined the cadets of the Virginia
Military Institute.
Thus the stately mansion was left in
the care of a woman and her daughters,
woman of great courage and wonderful
spirit who has recently been known to
the people of Washington as graceful
and winning participant in several social
functions For time all went we'll
though the tides OF the warfare swept
past the household, back and forth
with varying currents. There was peace
within these massive walls in peculiar
distinction to the strife raging SO near
at hand.

Retaliation,

1t was in the summer of 1864 that the
serenity of the Faulkner home was seri-
ously disturbed. Some time before there
had been great indignation aroused
among the people of the North by the
action of the Confederate forces in burn
ing the house of Gov. Bradford in Mary
land, and Gen. David S. Hunter, COM
manding the federal forces in Western
Virginia, conceived the idea of retaliat-
ing for this act of vandalism by burning
the homes of some promlnent people IN
the Shenandoah valley. None of the
citizens of that beautiful region were
more prominent than ex-Mtnister Faux
ner, whose arrest upon his return to this
country had become topic of national
interest early in the struggle. Accord
ingIy one morning Capt. Gray Martini
dale of the first New York cavalry was
dispatched with his company from head
quarters, with orders to the effect that
the beautifulss home OF the Faulkners
should be in runs by nightfall. Capt.
Martindale entered upon his mission
with little relish. The burning of homes
over the heads of defenseess women did
not comport with his idea of warfare.
and he made the sterms of shis mission
as easy as he could in conscience. Ar
irving at the house shortly before noon,
he left the detachment of soldiers in the
road guarding the entrance to the park
which surrounded the house, and the re-
mainder galloped up the gravel pathway
to thesmansion, where he was received by
Mrs. Faulkner and her daughters. They
had heard of the approach of soldiers and
they had heard. too, the rumors that
were abroad that three of the houses in
the vicinity were to be sacrificed. Their
hearts told them only too well the errand
of the bluecoats.
