OBITUARY.

STREET.


A dispatch from Hagerstown Tues
day says Edward Il. Street died yes
terday at the home of George +. Upde-
graft, in this city, of Bright's disease,
aged "a years. He was at the time of
his death travelling freight agent for
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad west
of the Ohio River. He came home
for a rest about seven weeks ago, but
grew rapidly worse until death ensued.
He was son of Mrs. Lucretia Street,
and his early life was spent in Fred
erick, where he attended school at the
academy. He was an earnest and
hard student and after leaving school
secured position in Pittsburg with a
railroad company. Later he went
with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company and was considered a most
energetic and useful employee. His
great devotion to his widowed mother
and his early struggles to adequately
support and comfort her were his
most noble traits of character
and those who knew this promising
young man will deeply regret his early
summons beyond the grave.

May 81, 1896.
Until quite recently the inhabitants
of this town depended principally upon
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for a
living, but as the Washington juno
ton and Seneca stone quarries are in
operation now it gives employment to
quite number of men, who hereto
fore have been idle, and the managers
of the quarries, who are Republicans,
say after the tariff bill becomes law
they will be able to put a larger force
at work, that is if the tariff benefits
the stone men, which to me looks ex-
tremely doubtful. They have been
putting on the market the famous cal
leo rock stone, which after being sawed
and polished makes very pretty mar.
BILE, a sample of which can be seen at
the Washington Junction telegraph
office at any time. This marble can
be used for wainscoating and thing,
which would make house very at
tractive.
Messrs. w. II. Colbert and w. @.
Stauffer last Saturday made visit TO
the Jefferson Valley of Virginia, rid
ing their bicycles from Harper's Ferry
to Berryville and Summit Point, and
returning spending the day at the lat
ter place. They seem to have enjoyed
the trip immensely and are looking for
ward to trip they intend to take
from Martinsburg, West Virginia, to
Winchester, Va, the coming Satur-
day.
There is quite spirited contest over
the postoffice at this place, the appli-
cants being Messrs. Wright and Hick-
man. Mr.. Spaulding, the present in
cumbent, would not for any consider
alton serve under Republican admin
istration and it is thought that Mr..
Wright will be appointed.
Mr.. George G. Fisher, the proprietor
of the st. Charles Hotel, has rented
the hotel to Mr.. w. l.. Ferr, of Lees
burg, Va, Mr.. Fisher retiring to his
new dwelling, which was recently
erected on Church street.
The corporation expects at some fu-
ture time to reopen the street known
as Railroad street.
The grounds around Washington
Junction could be made a very pretty
park if the railroad company would
only take an interest. in the matter,
and it would cost very little.

Earthquake Felt at Jefferson.
Jefferson. Nav 81, 1S9,

Jefferson, May 81, 1891.
A number of the citizens of this
place were badly frightened by what
was supposed to be an earthquake
shock. A number of houses were said
to tremble from the foundation. The
rumbling is said to have lasted about
half minute, and was generally no.
ticed.
1t will be with great pleasure that
the many friends of Mr.. Howard
Hooper, who has been quite i'll with
typhoid fever, at his brother-in-law's
Mr.. Harlan Cline, near Jefferson,
learn that he is much improved and it
is hoped that he will soon be able to
be about again.
Our enterprising liveryman of Jetfer-
son took out the first load Saturday
in his stylish hackl which he lately
purchased. The crowd consisted wholly
of gentlemen, who attended the decor
alton of the soldiers cemetery at
Sharpsburg.
The Jr. o. U. A. NJ, of this place,
have been making extensive arrange
ments for Whit-Monday, when they
will present the Broad Run and Bur-
kittsville schools each with bible and
an American flag. Several prominent
speakers, and the American Band, of
Middletown, are expected to be pres
ent.
A change in the time of service in
the Reformed Church of this place,
will be made on and after June Goth,
as follows: Preaching three Sundays
in the morning and one in the after
noon, instead of two Sundays in the
morning and two in the afternoon, as
heretofore. Also services every Sun
day night. This will be decided inn
provement, as there has been no regu-
lar service in any of the churches at
night.
On Saturday, June 5th, the farm and
entire property of Mr.. John II. Cutler,
of near jefferson, will be sold to pay
for the favor which he bestowed upon
another by indorsing papers for him.
The sympathies of the community are
with Mr.. Cutler and we truly hope he
will make out all right.

mier is member of the Board of Re-
gents of the college.
AT the regular services of the Re-
formed Church Sunday, the pastor,
Rev. Hoffmier, read the report of the
Chassis, which met at Westminster
last week. The part which interested
the people of this community most,
was that in which was mentioned the
fact that the Chassis had dissolved the
relation between the Rey. Hoffmier
and the Reformed Church of Middle
town, which is to take effect July 1st,
at which time he will have served the
congregation twentY-one years. The
action of the Classis, although antici-
pated, was very much regretted by
Mr.. Hotfmier's many friends. Revs.
j. H. Apple, A. NJ, II. F. Dittmar
and w. Z. Sykes are the committee of
supply for the charge.
