Has Mineral Been Found Near Shepherds
toVn2

Dave Vid Carvalho, of the firm
of Carvalho and Grimes, rich prospec-
tors of Georgia, has been in the hills
about Shepherdstown for the past
three weeks prospecting for copper,
and if reports which have leaked out
and come to our ears are to be be-
lieved, he has made q strike. 1t Is
said he has found the ore in paying
quantities, and has already secured
an option on a body Of land. Mr..
Carvalho refuses to say where he has
located the copper, as he wishes to
lease an adjoining tract before he
opens a mine. He says he expects to
nut twenty men to work within the
next week or two if he gets his other
lease, and has already ordered the
lumber for the necessary buildings.
BE says that he hopes to give employ
mont to large number of men within
few months. We hope that such
NAV be the case, and trust that the
prospectors may strike it rich.

Those Hagerstown "Gents."

The Hagerstown Globe and Mall
last Friday copied the article from the
REGISTER criticising the behavior of
some young men who came to Shep-
herdstown to dance and got drunk.
The next day the Mail contained this
item concerning the affair:
Hagerstown boys who were at Shep-
herdstown dance say the REGISTERS
charge is all rot and untruth. There
was no whiskey guzzling at the dance,
and the only friction was the jealousy
Of the Shepherdstown boys, who resent
ed our boys coming there and told the
REGISTER the silly stuff it published.
Monday morning the Herald, which
had not printed anything on the SUBJ
ject, made this fling at the Mail:
1t would be more sensible for a news
paper TO first investigate an attack on
Hagerstown people before publishing it
than to publish it and then on investi-
CATION find that it had circulated vi
cious SANDER on town folks.
1t may not be improper for us to in
form the Mail that the REGISTER did
not get its information from jealous
shepherdstown boys. The scandalous
behavior of the Hagerstown roughs
was matter of public knowledge, and
was observed by the people from the
time they landed until they left.
They got into town by bullying a wo-
man and left with an officer at their
heels. To the Herald we wish to re-
mark that our publication was not
"a vicious SANDER" On the contra
ry, the half was not told of the outrage
GUS conduct of these unnamed would
be sports.

\ very distressing accident occurred
in Washington, D. c., last Friday.
Mrs. Marguerite Dickins, wife of Cap
tain Francis ". Dickins, of the U. s.
Navy, was in room of her handsome
home cleaning some clothes with gaso-
line. Some workmen who were re-
pairing the roof entered the room with
a lighted vapor stove, and in an IN
slant there was an explosion that blew
out one side OF the house and envel-
oped the occupants in flames. Heroic
efforts were made to rescue Mrs, Dick
ms, but she could not be gotten out
and was burned to death. The men
escaped with slight burns.

A COlored Editor Arrested.

j. R. Clifford, colored, editor of the
Pioneer Press, a weekly newspaper
published at Martinsburg as an organ
of the colored people, was arrested
last Friday by Deputy U. S. Marshal
Paulding on the charge of alleged vi
olation of the United States postal
laws in mailing indecent and obscene
matter. Chief Postoffice Inspector
Samuel T. Hooten made the affidavit
which led to his arrest. The offensive
article was published in the Pioneer
Press of June 8 and made statements
rejecting on the character and con-
duct Of Rev. ]. D. Newman, pastor of a
colored Baptist church in Hagerstown,
and his wife. Clifford was given a
preliminary hearing before Commits
sioner Adrian C. Nadenbousch. He
conducted his own defense, claiming
the article was not violation of the
law. Commissioner Nadenbousch was
of different opinion, and held the de-
PENDANT under bond Of $500 to await
the action of the grand jury. Clifford
gave the necessary bond and was dis
charged from custody. The penalty,
if conviction follows, is not less than
800 nor more than $1,000, or not
less than one year nor more than ten
in the penitentiary, or both.

A Big Scheme.

A Big Scheme.
Details of a big scheme to utilize
the great water power of the Potomac
and Shenandoah rivers at Harpers
Ferry in the development Of electricity
are being brought to light. The pulp
mills at that place, which have been
run by the water power for years, are
about to go out of business, and it is
designed to change them into immense
electric light plants. Some months
ago one of the wheels of the pulp
company's plant was leased by John
A. Livers, and its power was used to
furnish electric lights for Harpers
Ferry. 1t proved so successful that
the pulp mill people bought out MIR.
Livers, and now have on foot a pro-
iect in the development of electricity
that equals and surpasses the PROPOSE
ton of Powell Evans. The Pulp
Mill Company have five wheels in place
which will give 5000 horse power.
1t is proposed to build plant to con-
vert the three thousand horse power
into electricity. The cost of gener-
ating will be the very smallest.
Wastage and los, need not bereckoned
with, as the power will cost nothing.
The electricity thus developed will
be transmitted to Frederick, Bruins
wick, Charlestown, shepherdstown,
Martinsburg and Hagerstown to be
used as light and power.
Tocarry electricity to distant points
heavy wires will be required, and the
loss of power will be from 10 to %
per cent. But with two rivers to con-
stantly renew the power, this wsstage
need not be considered. 1t is believed
that the Hagerstown trolley system
can be operated by the Harper's Ferry
plant. The scheme is great one,
but it appears to be feasible, and the
men back Of it have plenty of money.

Meeting OF the Board OF Education.

The board of education of Shep-
herdstown district held a meeting in
this place last Saturday and trans
acted = considerable amount of bust
ness. 1t was decided to provide two
additional teachers for the Shepherds
town Graded School, and these, with
the vacancy left by Mrs. Viewer, ne
cessitated the appointment of three
new teachers. There was a large
number Of applicants, and from them
the board selected Miss May Hoff-
man, Miss Bessie Licklidsr and Miss
Elba Hoffman. These young ladies
are ali from this place, graduates from
Shepherd College, and are among our
brightest and best girls. We think
their appointment will give great sat-
isfaction. The board rented the build
ing of T. R. Line, corner of Princess
and High streets, where two rooms
will be fitted up and occupied until
a new school-house is provided. The
primary department will be located
here. The board also purchased
eighty or ninety new desks for the use
of the school.
The district levy for the teachers
fund was fixed at 81 cents on the hun
dread dollars, an increase Of FIVE cents
over last year, and the building fund
at IA cents, two cents more than last
year.

The Grim Reaper Death.

Between FIVE and six o'clock Sun
day morning. July 9, 1899, Mrs.
Charles E. Miller passed out from her
earthly home through the dark portals
of death. On February %, 1899, all
her loved .nes were rejoicing with her
as she was united in the holy bonds
of wedlock to Mr.. Miller. Today We
mourn her early death. Mrs. Miller's
maiden name was Cora B. Blue, a
daughter of Mr.. John Blue, of Lee
town. Sweet and amiable in her dis
position, she was loved by all who
knew her. She was young lady OF
a noble mind and a kind heart. We
do not say that Cora was perfect
none are so. But for virtue, truth
and purity, she was one of the fairest
daughters of the land. Though she
never made any profession of religion,
her true piety and deep religious con-
victions were unmistakable. She de-
lighted in singing the sweet and ia
miliar hymn, "How firm a founda-
ton" 1t was her favorite, and she
often spoke of its beauty. Her new
home, at Vanclevesville, Berkeley
county, was all that heart could wish.
But now it is dark and sad and lone
ly. Since she has gone the days drag
slowly by. Dear friends, let US bow
our heads in holy reverence and say,
"Thy will be done. " 7.

Last fall George y. Fry decided to
try an experiment on one of bis
prairie farms. He put 81 - worth Of
plaster to the acre on thirty acre
field and then sowed it in wheat.
The wheat has just been harvested
and II IL at least third better than
wheat grown on bottom land, niue h
better land, without the plaster.
Joshua Butler tried u similar e&peri-
ment on his farm west of the river
and he reports that the wheat thus
treated will yield twenty to twenty
five bushels an acre, while wheat in
sn.. adjoining field. planted on the
same day and on precisely the same
ground, will run not more thau five
bushels TO the acre.
These two experiments would seem
to leave little doubt that the only
thing needed to make q gDod wheat
country out of Allen county, ever
out of the high prairie lands'is' to do
as they always thought it necessary
to do back east, " fertilize the land
A dollar and n quarter an acre spent
in plaster will bring back from eight
10 fifteen dollars an acre in wheat
1t Is greatly TO be hoped the expert
ment will be tried by others this fall.
