A Scare at Church.

A Scare at Church.
Just as the funeral service of Mr..
Allen Lucas was about to begin in the
Lutheran Church last Sunday after
noon, and while the church was crowd
ed with people, a sharp report caused
considerable alarm among those who
were upon and under the gallery.
Several persons hurriedly left the
church, and there were indications Of
a panic when Rev. Mr.. Hockey urged
quiet and the people resumed their
places. An examination was made
the next day by the church officers
and several carpenters, when it was
found that the vestibule floor had gone
down about an inch, caused by the
settling of girder or joist. The gal
lery had not moved the fraction of an
inch, as had been thought by some per-
sons, its construction and supports
making it perfectly substantial and
safe. The floor of the vestibule had
simply settled. The carpenters said
that there was no danger whatever at
any time, but in order to make assur-
ance doubly sure the church council
have ordered iron pillars to be placed
in the basement under the girders.
There is not the slightest danger that
on accident NAV occur.

The Great Drought.

The great drought that has prevailed
in this section since the middle of the
summer is yet unbroken, and at this
writing there is no indication OF ram
1t has become a serious matter. The
streams are all very low, the ponds
have mostly dried up. and cisterns
and wells are becoming exhausted.
Some of the farmers are compelled to
drive their stock long distances to wa
ter, causing much inconvenience. The
pastures are brown and dry. The
wheat that was sowed a month ago is
coming up very irregularly-some OF
it not at all. The fear is expressed by
some farmers that when the rain does
come it will be too cold for the seed to
sprcut and grow.
In Shepherdstown many cisterns
have become exhausted and number
of wells have gone dry, necessitating
the carrying of water for several
squares by some families. The town
run has dwindled to very small
stream indeed. The river seems to be
about as low as it can get.
The drought is general throughout
West Virginia and several adjoining
States. In the western part of this
State some of the small streams have
gone completely dry. There is but
eleven inches of water in the channel
of the Ohio river at Wheeling. The
railroads are seriously inconvenience,
being compelled to haul water long
distances to some points.

to that place with their boats. They
will be loaded with ffty-ton cargoes,

can now be navigated. A number of
boats lying at Sharpsburg are ready
to move as soon as it is deemed practi-
cable. On Monday eleven boats were
loaded at Cumberland, and on Tues
day fourteen. Each boat carried about
forty tons of coal.

A Splendid Fair.

The great Hagerstown fair was
greater than ever this year. 1t was
first class in every respect. Splendid
herds of fine cattle, blooded horses,
the best breeds Of sheep and hogs, a
poultry exhibit that could not be sur
passed, farm machinery of every sort,
fruits, agricultural products and the
best samples of the household arts,
made up an exhibition that was well
worth visit. The racing was good,
the attractions Of every sort interest
ing. A noticeable improvement was
the absence of gamblers and sharpers,
and the fair association is to be COM
mended from excluding them from the
grounds A great many persons from
this county attended the fair, and the
directors entertained their friends in
the usual royal style.

Exciting Times on Sandy Ridge.

mat hre-splttlnS locomotive on tne
Norfolk & Western Railroad was the
cause of a great commotion on Sandy
Ridge, between Shepherdstown and
Shenandoah junction, last Sunday.
A heavy train pulled by two locomo-
tives passed just before noon, and the
sparks from one of the engines started
a number of fires. At the farm of j.
B. Osbourn a string of rail fence con-
tanning about 1000 rails was burned,
and about thousand shingles were
destroyed. At William Buffers the
fire ran through the dry weeds and
burned IA tons of hay. A lot of fen
cling on the farm occupied by William
Melvin was burned, and it was only
by hard work that serious damage was
averted there. At the Robert Lucas
farm the sparks started fierce FIRE,
which destroyed lot of fencing, about
1000 shingles, and, sweeping through
the woods, did considerable damage to
the timber. Between three and four
hundred bushels of wheat belonging to
Mr.. Lucas was also destroyed. The
fire spread rapidly until it reached G.
j. Ungers place, where it was finally
checked after it had burned a lot of
wood and fencing. Further on the
same engine set the stubble afre on
the Nelson Snyder farm, and fifteen
tons of hay belonging to Harvey II.
Hendricks was burned. The farmers
of Sandy Ridge and vicinity were con-
siderably alarmed, for everything was
so dry that the fire spread with great
rapidly. 1t was only by strenuous
efforts that the barns and houses were
saved. The fire was checked in most
cases, by blowing burrows in front of it
Another fire was started in the
same neighborhood on Sunday, and it
was only subdued by the most siren
mons efforts.

bagysRe wagon, which went on ahead
to Mr.. A. Montague's ranch, about
twenty-tbree miles northwest, where
tho party had arranged to stay the
iirst night out. Somewhat later the
party 10 person. boarded . big double
rig, with . competent" guide, and
followed. at least they thought they
followed. But the next day a farmer
living come five miles from town
came in and reported that y party
wearing paint aud feathers like that
of the Pembina. tribe, had come to his
house the night before, about twelve
O'Clock, hungry and tired, with horses
played out, and stayed with him until
morning.
When morning came, he over
heard them discussing the question
whether they should send y man back
to M0ntague's tanch to have the bag
gage come on, orywhether the wagon
would come on without sending back
for It. The farmer saw there was q
mistake somewhere. and told them
Montague's farm was about fifteen
miles further ahead and that they
were only five miles from Dickinson.
They supposed from the distance they
had travelled that they had passed
the ranch In the darkness of the even.
ing, and gone about twenty miles
further on. Distances are decelvinR
and roads are circuitUus in the Bad
Lands country, and the Dickinson
people are very hospltable to visitors;
either, or all. Of which may account
for the lost tribe of Pembinas.
OF course we may be little awry
on details of this narrative, but OF the
main facts, they are as true as any
thing.
