Ind, by Rev. Father Wilson, of st.
Joseph's Roman Catholic Church. has
created no end of discussion among
the members ofhis congregation. Faith
er Wilson does not approve of the BIZ

coming young woman, according to
his ideas of a woman, and. in course Of
his remarks, further said that the wo-

preferred to wear the bicycle costume
spoken of would not be recognized by
him on the street, and further, those
who knew him and spoke to him would
be ignored.

A Snort journey and Quick Return.

Our friend James Lawrence McChan,
whose historic episodes have hereto
fore been chronicled in the REGISTER,
made another unsuccessful attempt to
gain fame and fortune this week. For
some time Lawrence has been cogni-
zant of the fact that the Norfolk q
Western Railroad is without presl-
dent, and he knew that when the
bondholders shall have reached an
agreement the receivers will be dis
missed and a new head appointed. He
kept his eye on the vacancy. A week
or two ago he had an interview with
Superintendent Cook, who promised
him a place in the machine shops at
Shenandoah, which Lawrence gladly
accepted, knowing that some of the
heads of our greatest corporations have
risen to their present proud positions
from the humblest places.
Last Sunday our enthusiastic friend
gave his friends here hearty gOodby
and with his trunk well-packed and
cOlors flying set out for Shenandoah.
Wednesday morning his familiar form
was once more seen upon our streets,
His detected air told only too plainly
that the prospects of obtaining the
presidency of the n. & W. had gone
glimmering. Inan interview with the
REGISTER Lawrence stated that he
arrived in Shenandoah all right and
started in to work in the shops on
Monday bright and early. He was
told that his wages would be $500 a
month. Cold chills went up and down
his spinal column. He had already
contracted for his board and washing
at $40 a month, and here was deficit
Of so cents a month to start with.
There was nothing left for peanuts, or
to treat his lady friends to icecream,
to say nothing of the various other de-
mands for cold cash from a growing
young man in a strange town. Law
renee had not expected a presidents
salary to start with, but he had thought
he would get enough to live on. He
at once saw that it must have been
such management that involved the
y. & W. so deeply in debt, and he re-
solved that he would not have receiv-
ers appointed over him. He finished
his days work, gave his landlady an
order for his wages, jumped on the
first freight train headed northward,
and arrived home early Wednesday
morning. He earned enough money
to send for his trunk, and says he will
never again leave Shepherdstown-at
least not until after Morgan's Grove
fair.
Mr.. McChan requests us to state
that there is no truth in the report
that he got homesick by seeing Bill
Beaner playing the banjo in Shenan-
doah and came home on that account.

A Little Fire.

A Little Fire.
Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock
the roof of the dwelling-house OF VIII
liam Wells, colored, on New street,
caught fire from spark. The strong
wind that was blowing soon made a
considerable blaze. An alarm was
sounded and crowd quickly gathered.
Water was carried to the garrett IN
buckets and men climbed to the ad-
Joining roof and threw water from the
outside. In ten minutes the blaze was
under control, and by the time the
steam engine was put to work the hire
was practically over. The building
was insured in the Fire and Marine
Company, of Wheeling, and the next
day Harrison & Schley, the agents.
had new roof put on the house.
