Today is the anniversary of the raid
made by John Brown and his party upon
Harper's Ferry. The raid took place just
forty years ago, occurring October II, 1859.
The plans had been in preparation several
months. One day in July, 1859, Jacob
Fiery, who lived three miles south of Ha-
gerstown, was approached by an elderly
young man. MIR. Fiery. as administrator
of the estate of DR.. r. F. Kennedy, had
charge of a farm near Maryland Heights,
three miles from Harpers Ferry. The old
man introduced himself as /. Smith, and
said he wished to purchase the Kennedy
farm, believing there were minerals there.
Mr. Fiery said he could not sell the place
at that time, so Smith-who was in reality
JCnn Brown-rented it, paying the first
quarters rent in advance in gold. Brown
at once took possession of the farm and
was Joined by several of his men. His
daughter Anne and his daughter in-law,
the wife of Oliver Brown, kept house for
them.
Almost Immediately mysterious boxes be-
gan to arrive from Northern cities, some

Others by Shepherdstown, Brown said he
boxes contained mining tools, but they re-
ally contained firearms and pixies. Soon
Brown had in the house 200 Sharp's rifles,
200 Maynards revolvers and 1000 pixies
or spears.
Gen. Henry Kyd Douglas, of Hagers-
town, without knowing what was in them,
of course, helped haul some of the boxes
to the kennedy farm. His father lived
near Shepherdstown, and Brown hired
one of his teams 10 haul the goods. Young
Douglas, then a boy, was sent by his
father 10 drive the team.
Sunday evening, October 16, 1879, Brown
announced that the time had arrived for
the attack on Harper's Ferry. This pace
had been selected because il was NOT far
TO send freed slaves across the narrow
strip OF Maryland into Pennsylvania, and
because Brown knew the United States
arsenal there was not well guarded. At
that time Brown had with him the follow
ing men:
Whites-Oliver and Walter Brown, his
sons, of New York; Aaron C. Stevens, John
Z. Cook and Stewart Taylor. OF Come I'll

HER SUCCESSFUL SCHEME

How IN Ingenious Aunt Saved Her
Nephew from Drunkenness.
1t was a striking couple that entered
a carriage last Wednesday in front Of
the Hotel Savoy. Both were tall. of
fine figure and easy grace, say the
New York Herald. The man looked
OF the sunny side of so; the woman,
some years younger, was of the Juno
type. Their eyes and compilations had
a dash of the Spanish, while their talk
and manners were French.
Curious history that nan has had
remarked a hotel lounger. "He comes
of a rich creole family in the Pont-
chartrain district of Louisiana. They
were immensely wealthy before the
war and managed to hold on to most
of their estates. His wife, also a Gre
ole, vas educated with the most ex-
pensive polish abroad. Though mar
ried now for many years, they're lovers
yet. He was a wild young blade,
drinking, dueling and gambling. His
family tried all means to curb him
but he broke every bit.
zone night he was taken home par
alyzed with champagne. His ole
maiden aunt had an inspiration. She
hurried off a trusted negro to New
Orleans for a burial c~asket-silvel
handles, satin lining. Flowers were
picked from the garden and she ar.
ranged candles and crucifix. WheI
the casket arrived the paralyzed you'll
was placed carefully in it, while thu
dear old schemer stayed up with 'th'
remains" 1t was some time befor'
he recovered enough consciousness t.
grasp the funeral outfit, but the oil
lady's artifice did the business. It Wa
the eye-opener he needed. That wa
his last debauch."
