Excitement at Kearneysville.

The village of Kearneysville, FIVE
miles from this place, has been in high
state of excitement the past week.
Most of the families of the village get
water for drinking and domestic pur-
poses from well at one side of the pike
lust this side of the railroad. a few
DAYS ago a woman went to the well to
get water, when on looking down she
saw the body of a little baby floating
upon the surface. An effort was made
to dip it out with a bucket, but the
body sank to the bottom of the well.
Magistrate Rentch and Constable
Dunn went out on Monday, and though
a number of men were making every
effort with grab-hooks to get the body
it could not be recovered, and no in
quest could be held. The corpse has
not again been seen, despite the
many attempts to get it out, and
it may be that a steam pump will be
rugged up to empty the well. 1t is
quite apparent from the stuff that has
been taken from the well that it has
needed cleaning for some years past,
and Kearneysville folks who have used
the water can't eat until they stop
their thinking apparatus.

FLOOD IN THE POTOMAC.
The Highest Water Since I969-West Virginia
Rivers on the Rampage-Damage to Canal.

The Potomac river has been a rag
ing torrent this week-far out of Its
banks and sweeping everything that its
angry waters reached. Last Saturday
evening wet, heavy snow fell, which
later turned into hail and rain. Sun
day night there was a very heavy rain
again, and Monday desultory showers
during the day eliminated at night in
thunder storm, with sharp lightning
and deep-toned thunder, accompanied
by another big rain. The river began
to raise Monday, and Tuesday it had
reached food tide. Fed by the melt
ing snow away back in the mountains,
the river continued to rise slowly but
surely until about three o'clock We'd
nesday morning, when the water
reached its highest point, after which
it gradually began to recede. At Shep-
herdstown the water was about eleven
feet lower than it was during the men,
orable food of 1889. The approach to
the foot bridge was cut off by the wa
ter, which reached to the south end of
the old paper mill. There was no dam
age on this side of theriver At Bridge
port the LIGHTHOUSE of the C. & O. ca
nal was partly submerged, the first
floor being under water. Mr.. John
lanes the lock-tender. removed his
family Tuesday morning and put the
household goods upstairs. AL the out
buildings were carried away by the
water. The feed-store of Messrs. Knode
was flooded, but it remained upon its
foundations. The contents Of the low
er floor were removed before the wa
ter reached them. The canal-boats at
Bridgeport were closely watched and
kept in safe quarters.
The water kept up very high all
day yesterday, but this morning it has
gone down a great deal.

The B. & 0. tracks between Martins
burg and Cumberland were under wa
ter for many miles at stretch, and all
traffic was suspended. The last train
to get through was mol Monday night.
A thousand men were put to work yes
terday as the waters receded, and by
night the passenger trains had begun
to move once more. The principal
damage was caused by earth and debris
being washed upon the tracks, which
in some places were submerged eight
or ten feet. In the vicinity Of Sleepy
Creek the mud settled on the tracks
six feet deep for three-quarters of a
mile, bnt all this has been removed.

EXCITING TINE AT HARPER's FERRY.

EXCITING TIME Al hAkfEh fEhhl.
Tuesday night was most exciting
one at Harper's Ferry. a special cor
respondent of the REGISTER tells of a
thrilling experience of number Of
persons at that place. During the at
ternoon they crossed the bridge be-
tween Island Park and the West Vir-
GINA shore to get a nearer view of the
flood, and while they were on the
island a mass of driftwood came down
and struck the bridge, knocking out
two of the middle spans. Mr.. Forest
Littleiohn was on the bridge when it
went down, but by desperate leap
landed on a remaining span. The
men, women and children on the island
became greatly alarmed when they
discovered that they were cut off from
shore, for the island was then almost
submerged and the water was still
rising. Desperate efforts were made
to connect the two spans at either end
of the bridge by means of rope, but
while this attempt was in progress the
part next the island gave way. Mr..
Sponsler was thrown into the water,
but managed to reach the island shore.
The current was so swift that it was
impossible to get boat across, and
the situation was alarming indeed.
The accident occurred about half-past
two o'clock in the afternoon, and as
night came on it was found that the
beleaguered persons would have to
spend the night on the island-pro-
vided they were not carried away by
the water.
The alarm felt by the persons on the
island, surrounded as they were by the
rushing waters which grew closer to
them each hour, can be better mag
med than described, while their friends
ashore were in high state of alarm.
The men Of the imprisoned party
built platforms in the trees to which
the victims could climb if necessary,
but when the waters reached a stand
still about midnight they still had
standing-room on terra hrma. At
daylight Wednesday morning Messrs.
Frank Stypes and Robert Evans, two
heroes Of former floods, succeeded in
landing food and heavier clothing to
the party, who were faint and weak
from cold and hunger and the terror
of the experience through which they
were passing. At 9 o'clock Messrs.
Stypes and Evans began the work of
rescuing the imprisoned people, and
as each boat-load was safely landed
great cheers were sent up by 4he
crowds who occupied the shore and
the cliffs above. The heroic rescuers
finally succeeded in getting everybody
safe on the mainiand-the women pale
and exhausted, but the men and boys
none the worse for their thrilling ex-
perience. The persons who were on
the island were Charles Fisher, S.
Sponslef, Miss Annie Smith, Miss Sa-
die Stedman and three Stedman chill
diem, Bernard Kemp, Clyde Smith,
William Spangler, Jesse Heafer, Will
lam Anderson, William Smith, Ray
mond Young, Clarence Cox and Philip
Flaherty.
Shenandoah street in Harpers Fer
ry was flooded, but not much damage
was done.
