The Telephone.

The Telephone.
The telephone line extended to
Shepherdstown last week by the
Maryland Telephone Company is now
in excellent working order, the line
running from this place to Hagers-
town by way of Sharpsburg, Keedys-
Vile and Boonsboro. Three tele
phones have been placed here-one at
the Entler Hotel, one in Mr. Lemen 5
elevator and another in the REGISTER
office. The system is a splendid one,
and conversation can be carried on with
the greatest distinctness and satisfac-
ton. The line will probably be ex-
tended to Msrtinsburg, there to con-
meet with the system now being es:
tablished by Mr.. Hoover and which
extends through the Valley Of Virgin
ia and to Cumberland, Romney,
Moorefeld and other points.
We hope that one Of the companies
now chartered or a new one may es-
tablish a system in jefferson county.
If this should be done it could be
connected with the lines of the Mary
land company and the Hoover COM
pany, thus giving US all the points
reached by them, in addition to the
convenience Of telephone communica-
ton in our own county.
The rates charged by the Maryland
Telephone Company are $24 year
for business places and SIS for resi-
dences. Messages from Shepherds
town to Hagerstown are q cents.
This company has nearly four hun
dred telephones in HagsrstOwn and
Washington county, and Mr.. R. B.
Hazlett, its energetic manager IN
forms US that new phones are being
put up every day.

The Reformed Church Bells.

The bells OF the Reformed Church
in Shepberdstown were rehung yes
terday in the tower which was rebuilt
this fall. When the work Of rebuild
ing the tower was completed it was
found desirable to have the bells re-
hung in modern style, and they We're
sent to Baltimore, where J. REGISTER
& Sons put them upon modern mount
ings, and yesterday they were placed
in the tower, under the direction Of
contractor J. A. Cookery, who has
had charge OF the work. Their sweet
tones will ring out the Christmas
chimes Sunday morning.
The bells are three in number and
Of different sizes. None Of them are
large, but all are of the best material.
They were cast in France, the oldest
in 1882, another IN 1898, while the
date of the third is unknown. The
bell last received by the church,
something less than hundred years
ago, was dedicated with a peculiar
ceremony. Before it was lifted into
the tower it was turned upsidedown
and filed with wine. After the SER
vice had been completed the mem
bers each took a drsugbt Of the wine,
until the bell was emPtied. One OF
the participants in that ceremony,
who has long since gone to his re-
ward, acknowledged that few per-
sons felt Just trihe tipsy.
The Reformed congregation is one
of the oldest in this section-consid-
erably over a hundred years old. FL
der D. S. Rentch yesterday showed US
the church record, the first entry in
which was in 1882. From this time
until 1903 all the records are i'll Ger
man, when the English began.

srecial Term of the Circuit Court

A special term of the Circuit Court
of Jefferson county was held in Charles
town Tuesday by Judge E. Boyd
Faulkner, to dispose of matters that
went over from the regular November
term. In the case of Rowe and others
against the Shenandoah Pulp Compa-
nv, in which there was a verdict for
plaintiff for 500 damages to real es-
tate, the court set the verdict aside
and granted new trial.
In the suit to construe the will of
the late Miss Anne Doyne Smith the
court held that Mrs Essie Hilleary Is
entitled to all the real estate aud one
halfo the personal property after GER
tain legacies are paid.
The cases of Brown VS.. Jackson, Van
Pelt vs.. Van Pelt, and BilImyer VS..
Billmyer, were dismissed from the
docket.
In the creditors suits to settle the
business Of J. c. McGraw, under as
Segment, before Judge Faulkner on
exceptions to commissioners report, he
held that the property Of Margaret Nc
Graw was not liable for her debts IL
preference to creditors of J. c. Nc
Graw, and that the clause in the as
signment directing creditors who
agreed to release the debtors to be
paid first created a preference, and
was, therefore, void under the insolv-
ent law.
In the case Of Mcclellan vs.. Avis,
the court held that the real estate be-
longed to all the heirs of William Avis,
and not to one, John Avis, who claimed
1t by adverse possession
In the case Of Ketzenger vs.. Ketz-
enger, degree of sale Of real estate
was entered.
Yesterday Mrs. Rosa St. Clair Ran
som was granted an absolute divorce

ton; Sarah H. Gomph vs.. Chambers,
order of sale ; Anderson vs.. Fuller,
decree discussing funds BurIeigh vs..
McGraw, decree auditing debts and di-
rectiug disbursements Of funds. Court
