The Calls Upon Mr.. Rouss.

The management of the gold and
silver carnival Of the Junior Fire Com
pany of Hagerstown recently wrote to
Charles Broadway Rouss, New York,
asking him for a contribution. The
answer to their appeal was as follows !;
Replying to your letter of recent
date. Mr.. Rouss' desk is flooded with
thousands of appeals similar to yours,
received from every quarter OF the
globe. If he were to give to one-tenth
ofthem, he would himself be compelled
to go out and beg for a living. Within
a year his donations have amounted to
nearly $4,000, and he is now down
for the Westminster Abbey Of the
South for 100000, so that he Is COM
PEELED to limit his contributions to the
necessities of life, food and clothing.
Since the publication of his donation
of S25, 900 to the University Of Vlr-
ginia, he has had no less than 500 let
tiers, all asking from 81 to $4,000
and aggregating 100000 Where
would he be were he to grant all OF
these requests? I inclose you a triie.
The letter was signed by Miss
Blanche Volmer, private secretary,
and contained a S. bill.

A Narrow Escape.

Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock
Rev. J. II. Wolff had a narrow escape
from death. He was in his buggy and
about to drive over rail- cad crossing
south ofSummit Point. There was an
abrupt rise at the track. He stopped
for a moment to listen for whistle if
the train should be near, as it was
about time for it. Not hearing it, he
drove toward the track, and just as he
reached it and at a point that he could
not get back or turn aside the train
came laundering along. He reached
the other side in safety, but the horse
frightened and abruptly turned and
overturned the yehicle-throwing Mr..
Wolff with force in a fence corner,
his head striking the fence. He was
bruised about the body and head and
his shoulder hurt. He lay uncen-
scious for awhile-indeed until the
train, which had gone some distance,
cam. back and persons upon it came
10 his assistance. He thinks he was
dragged some fifteen or twenty feet.
The horse did not run far. With diff
Guilty Mr.. Wolff gathered up himself
and his effects and returned 70 his
home here. Heis about, but suffering
much from his hurts. When he crossed
the track the locomotive was almost
upon him.-Free Press.

Buying Walnut Timber.

Mr.. Harry E. Munday Is buying
large quantity of walnut timber in
this and adjoining counties. He has
a considerable number of logs at Shep-
herdstown now awaiting shipment, and
this week sent 10000 feet from Berry
Vile and 200 feet from Charlestown.
He pays $50 per thousand feet, and
for particularly fine trees gives as high
as $50 per thousand The best logs
are shipped to Paris, France. One
reason that causes the farmers to sell
their walnut trees is that the low price
of wheat and corn cOmpels them to
raise money from other sources than
the sale of these cereals.
Mr.. C. P. Brown has bought from
Mr.. R. D. Shepherd a considerable
quantity of walnut timber from the
Wild Goose estate. 1t is being hauled
to Browns Crossing by Mr.. W. S,
Myers.

becomingly attired in a green silk
dress, with hat to match, and accom-
panied by her maid of honor, Miss
Helen Lemen, who wore cloth dress
of the same shade, came last and joined
the others at the altar, where the GER

drove to the home of the groom S pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. George 7. SperOw,
and the same night the happy young
couple took the train at Martinsburg
for trip to Ohio. We wish them

had been kept profound secret, and
it was not until the afternoon Of the
wedding day that even a hint leaked
out, and few persons knew Of it until
the ceremony was over. The ceremony
was performed at the home of the bride
by Rev. DR.. Vim. H. Nelson, who used
the Episcopal service, including the
ring Only few persons were present
The bridal costume was becoming
dress Of green cloth. Mr.. and Mrs,
ConkIn left Wednesday for their new
home in Prosperity. 1t is said that
the romance was begun about a year
ago, when Mr.. Conkhn and Miss Chap
line met at Harper's Ferry. He spent
several days here the past summer
and the details for the happy event
were later arranged through CORE
spondence. We hope that the couple
may have a very happy married life.

out this afternoon by Mr. * ndall. the
senior member of the firm:
'Mr. Johnson left the Philadelphia Of
flee at 2:45 p. m. on The 7th instant and
has not been heard from since. The ac-
counts which We're under Mr. Johnson s
charge show many Irregularities for
which he is responsible, but the firm
hopes to protect their customers and
the business viii be continued as usual.
"The firm itself is in a very strong
position financially. and is we'll able to
stand whatever losses may De involved
i'm the Irregularities referred to- There
is very little doubt that Johnson had

seQuent hurried flight
Johnson was well known in financial
circles He was at one time member
