Big Fire al KearneYSYille.

The large frame structure known as
the depot building at Kearneysville,
five miles from Shepherdstown, on the
B. & O. Railroad, was destroyed by
fire with all its contents about one
o'clock last Friday morning. The man
who discovered the fire aroused Mr.. B..
S. McIntire, the owner Of the building,
and Mr.. Samuel R. Licklider, who &C.
cupied a part of the lower floor with
his general store, both Of whom live
near by. Great volumes of smoke were
pouring from the structure, and when
Mr.. Licklider opened his store door
the whole interior burst into flames,
making it impossible to enter. Every
thing in the store was burned, but Mr..
LickHder always carried his books
home at night and so saved them. He
was insured for s., ZOO in Philadelphia
and Wheeling companies, placed by
Mr.. J. S. Fleming in Washington &
Alexanders agency, The upper part
of the building was occupied by two
families, who barely escaped with their
lives and lost all their possessions.
The B. & o. waiting-room and ticket
office were in the west end of the build
ing and all the railroad property was
likewise destroyed The building,
which was an old, weather-beaten
wooden structure, two stories high, was
insured for $1,000 1t is not known
how the fire originated, but one theory
is that the store was robbed and then
set afre, though this is not very prob
able. Mr.. Licklider has fitted up the
room in his own building near by for
his store, and expects to be ready for
business in a few days.
Kearneysville will probably now get
what it has long desired and badly
needed-a new railroad depot.

A Big Sale.

The sale of the personal property of
Mr.. R. D. Shepherd on Wild Goose
Farm near Shepherdstown last Mon
day attracted what was probably the
largest crowd ever gathered at a sale
in this section. Soon after daylight
vehicles began to pass through town
from every direction, and it is estima-
ted that from $500 to 5000 people
attended the sale. The crowd was at
tracted by the desire to visit this we'll
known estate and at the same time to
have a chance to buy some frst-class
article at bargain. 1t had been ex-
tensively advertised, and Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia were rep
resented. Mr.. John W. Dodd cried
the sale and did it well. There was
an enormous lot of farm implements
and appurtenances of every sort, much
of which had been accumulated by the
late Henry Shepherd Some of the
things brought good prices and others
went cheap. A carriage of ancient
style that had cost $500 was bought
by our friend Col. Jas. W. Mcdonald,
Of Berkeley county, for $40. A $500
buggy brought about one-sixth what 1t
had cost. Expensive harness went far
below its value. The stock sold well.
Cows brought from $5l down; mules
$50; horses $40 down. The crowd
was really too big for thoroughly
successful sale, as it was sometimes
impossible to see what was being sold
and the auctioneer was completely sur
rounded. No household goods to speak
of were sold. The sale amounted to
about $1,000.
