A Few Railroad Items.

The contractors who put IN bids for
the construction of the Baltimore and
Cumberland Railroad are out of hui
NOR at the delay in awarding the con-
tracts They spent much time and
money in making bids, and are indig-
nant at the way they have been fooled.
It is said that the country about Han
cock fairly bristles with stakes.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has issued orders that the
shops be closed at Martlnsburg until
the 9th of June. The employees are
very much discouraged by the action
of the company, as they have been
working on not more than half time
for several months past.
The new schedule of the Norfolk &
Western Railroad went into effect last
Sunday. The only important change
in passenger trains is in No. 6, which
leaves Shepherdstown now at 2.32 a,
IN. instead of at COS a. IN.

Still Fighting About the Shops.

George F. Cochnower has brought
suit in the Circuit Court of Jefferson
county against T. R. Crane for $4,000
damages, alleging malicious prosecu-
ton and defamation. This is in retail
iation for the indictment procured by
Mr.. Crane against Mr.. Cochnower
last week for embezzlement The lit
igation grows out of the occupancy of
the Shepherdstown manufacturing
shops. The Crane Machine Company
had rented the shops, but soon after
ward work was stopped. Last year
Mr.. Cochnower leased the shops. The
latter, we understand, charged the
Crane company $25 month rent for
allowing its machinery and other pos
sessions in the buildings, and later
sold lot of iron and retained the
money for the rent. A couple OF
months ago, while talking over the
affair in Hagerstown, Mr.. Cochnower
made a personal assault upon Mr..
Crane. At present the shops are idle,
Mr.. Cochnower never having started
up the machinery.

A Piece of Cruel Stupidity.

Last Tuesday Nicholas Schleggle'
of Baltimore, purchased from B. A.
Garlinger, of Hagerstown, twelve
horses. They were loaded in a B. &
o. box car at Hagerstown, the doors
closed tight and sealed, and the car
started to Washington. At Brunswick
Friday morning, at an early hour,
some of the railroad employees heard
a noise in the car and broke it open,
when it was found that four of the
poor beasts were dead from suffocation.
One of the animals was so glad for a
chance to escape that he jumped out
and broke leg, which necessitated
killing it, and subsequently, three
more of the poor brutes died from the
effect of their cruel imprisonment
making eight of the twelve horses that
died. Their value was about 81 900.

A Big Rain and High Water.

On and on the latter part OF last
week frequent and copious showers of
rain fell over this section. Saturday
afternoon, when the wind blew up from
the South great masses of heavy clouds,
the rain began to fall in good earnest
continuous torrents falling all of
Saturday night and early the follow
ing morning. The Potomac river re-
sponded quickly, and by 9 o'clock Sun
day morning was ADJOINING. 1t con-
tinued to rise all day, and though far
below the high-water mark of 1889, it
was nevertheless dangerous looking
food of seething, yellow water that
bore upon its crest huge trees and
other drift. Shepherdstown is so high
above the stream that it can never do
much damage here, so our people rested
easy. Some of those who lived in the
houses on the opposite side of the river,
though, moved out during the day.
And no wonder, for the most terror
inspiring rumors were afoat. So-and-
so had received a message that the Po-
tomac at Cumberland was nine feet
higher than the great food FIVE years
ago. Somebody else had report that
at WiIliamsport it had risen seventeen
feet in about three hours. There was,
of course, no truth in any of these re-
ports.
The cliffs and the bridge at this place
were lined all day by crowds of people,
the running waters and the drift and
the wleckage possessing a powerful
fascination. Even the showers that
came between times couldn't keep the
people away. 1t was feared that the
canal might be seriously damaged by
the food, but Superintendent Burgan
informs us that no great harm was done.
There were a couple of small breaks
and at various points sandbars were
formed in the canal He at once had
the water drawn off and big force Of
men put to work to make repairs
The water will be turned in on this
section today.
The storm was a general one, and
did much damage throughout Peansyl-
vania. The Susquehanna river was
very high. At Willamsport the loss
to property and by the escape of logs
from booms amounts to million dol
lars. The Pennsylvania Railroad suf-
fered great damage between Harris
burg and Pittsburg. The bridge at
Johnstown was swept away. Its west
ern passenger trains have been run
ing over the B. & O. Railroad, some of
them being transferred at Philadelphia
and some by the way of the Cumber-
land Valley at Martinsburg.
In this section the loss by rain and
high water was not great. The corn
was washed out in some fields, and in
places the wheat was beaten down,
though it will come up again. The
Opequon was higher than for five
years. In Berkeley county a flock OF
thirty sheep belonging to John Gray,
who lives along Mil creek, were stand
ing on an island in the stream when
the high water came. They were all
drowned.

Barn Burned.

The large new barn of W. F. Hemp,
about a mile north of Charlestown,
was burned last Friday night at 8
o'clock. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by stroke Of Lightning,
as heavy storm prevailed at the
time. Two calves, buggy, binder
belonging to Harry F. Bane, and 9TH
er property were burned with the
barn. The light from the burning
building was plainly seen at Shep-
herdstown. The barn was insured in
Washington & Alexander's agency for
$1,000. About two years ago a barn
on the same site was destroyed by
fire
