Barn DESTROYED and Stock Burned.

Last Saturday evening about TWEEN
ty minutes of eight o'clock an alarm of
fire was raised in Shepherdstown, and
bright light was seen in the south
west. Mr.. A. S. cambridge, whose
place is about half mile from town,
heard the Ere bell, and went to win
dow and looked out. He saw his own
barn, a short distance from his dwell
ing, mass of flames. He quickly ran
out and endeavored to set free the
horses and cattle in the barn, but be
was too late. But two horses made
their escape, one of them being SO bad
ly burned that it died next day. Five
other horses persisted wretchedly in
the fierce flames, and seven cows met
their death in the same way, one COW
and yearling only getting out in time
to save their lives. A crowd soon
gathered, but nothing could stay the
fire, and the barn with It's contents
was quickly reduced to ashes. Besides
the stock above mentioned, Mr.. Dan
bridge lost several farming implements,
large quantity of hay and fodder,
and other articles usually kept about
a barn. Fortunately the wind blew
the sparks away from the house. Mr..
cambridge had an insurance Of $500
on the barn and $500 on the horses.
There was also $500 on implements,
farm produce, harness and vehicles.
The insurance was placed by Washing
ton & Alexander, through ]. S. Elem
ing, and was in the Aetna Company
The insurance will not, by consider
able sum, cover the loss.
1t is not known how the fire was
started, but there are strong suspicious
that it was of incendiary origin. One
theory is that it was the work Of per-
son who has a mania for this sort Of
thing. 1t is not believed that Mr.
cambridge has an enemy who would
do him such an injury, for he is a man
who is universally liked. Miss Violet
cambridge had one side of her face
slightly burned in heroic attempt to
liberate the horses.

Excursion Train Wrecked.

Last Friday the first section OF a
Raymond & Whitcomb excursion train
was wrecked on the Norfolk & Western
Railroad one mile north Of Riverton,
Va. The excursion was made up in
New York and ran in two sections. 1t
came by way of the B. & o. Railroad
to Shenandoah Junction, where 1t was
transferred to the n. & w. Railroad,
en- route to Florida, Mexico and Cali
fornia. Soon after passing Riverton
the engine of the first train struck a
mass of stone and earth that had be-
come loosened by the rains and tum-
bled down on the track. The train
was badly wrecked. The baggage car
left the track and rolled over an en-
bankment, but, strange to say, the oc-
cupants, H. n. Burbank, commlssary
manager, and the baggage master, were
only slightly injured about the legs
and back.
Engineer H. C. Long of Hagerstown
sustained several painful cuts about
the head, but was not seriously hurt.
A colored Pullman porter named Phil
lips was killed by being scalded to
death and Charles w, King, another
porter, was badly injured about the
back. Not a single passenger was
hurt. The baggage car and two Pull
mans took fire from the engine and
were completely destroyed. The ez-
cursion being divided saved the entire
train, with the exception of the three
cars which were burned, as the engine
of the second section pulled the balance
of the train back from the burning cars,
thus saving them. After delay Of
sixteen hours the 200 feet of track
which was torn up was repaired and
the excursion allowed to pass on. All
trains were delayed. Conductor Frank
P. Cord was in charge Of the wrecked
train. He was not hurt.
Mr.. Clel Reynolds, of this place
was brakeman on the train. He was
in the rear car, and was thrown from
one end to the other, escaping with
few bumps. He wasted no time in
getting out and hurrying back to flag
the following train.
1t is said that the loss will reach
$4,000. A large part of the baggage
was consumed.

working on scow on the G. & o. ca

into the cabin of the scow and took
out dynamite cap, thinking it was a

it, when it exploded, blowing off two
fingers and badly tearing the thumb of
the left hand. The fingers were so
badly mangled as to necessitate ampu-
tation.

THEY REST FROM THEIR LAsoRs.
Death of Two Aged Residents of Shepherds
town-Other Deaths.

Mrs. Marguerite White, one of Shep-
herdstown's oldest and best known
residents, died at her home in this
place last Thursday afternoon, after a
brief illness of pneumonia, in the 18th
year of her age. Mrs. White, who
was daughter of the late Albert Hum
rickhouse, man widely known in this
section, was born and raised in Shep-
herdstown. In 1910 she went to Ark
ansas on a visit to her sister, where
she met and married James W. PEN
dleton, also native of this county.
Two children were born of this mar
rage, B. S. Pendleton, who is we'll
know merchant of this place, and Al
bert Pendleton, who was killed at the
second battle of Bull Run. Mr.. PEN
dleton lived only about three years.
A few years after his death his widow
married Harvey White. Three chill
dren were born to them: Miss Lizzie
White, of this place Henry White,
who was drowned in the river here
few years after the war and Willie,
who died in infancy. After Mr..
White death, which occurred in 1854,
the family returned to Shepherdstown,
where they have lived ever since.
Mrs. White was a member Of the
Lutheran church for about sixty years,
and was always a devoted Christian
woman. Although she had apparently
more than her share Of trouble, she
bore it with a cheerfulness and resig-
nation that attested her faith in her
Saviour, and the hardest trials but
strengthened her Christian character.
Whenever her health permitted she
was found in her place in the sanctu-
airy, and manifested the greatest in
terest in the work of the church. Al
though scarcely able to be out, she at
tended divine worship the Sunday pre-
ceeding her last illness. Her life was
one well spent in the service of her
Master, and she has gone to enjoy the
reward promised to those who are
faithful to the end.
The funeral service was held last
Saturday morning in the church of
which she had been a member 50 long,
the service being conducted by her
pastor, Rev. C. H. Hockey. The re-
mains were inferred in Elmwood Gem
etery.
