Tom Garrison Held for Court.

Thomas Garrison, whose arrest by
detectives on the charge of being one
of the gang who robbed Richard Nor
gan at the Shepherdstown bridge was
related last week, had a hearing on
Monday before Justice Gallaher at
Charlestown. Fred StaIey, colored,
who had been arrested on the same
charge on the strength Of statements
by Garrison, had hearing at the
same time. A number of witnesses
from Shepherdstown testified at the
hearing, and as a result Of their evil
dence Staley was discharged, while
Garrison was committed to Jail to
await the action of the grand jury
next November. 1t was shown that
Stalev had no connection with the
crime, and he was released from Gus
tody promptly. The evidence against
Garrison seemed to be very damaging,
his own statements being of a mostin-
eliminating character. Forrest ".
Brown represented the State at the
hearing, while Cleon Moore appeared
as counsel for Garrison
Wiuebrenner and Garrison, both Of
whom have had hearings before a
magistrate, are now in Jail to await
the action of the grand jury next
November. The third member Of
the alleged gang of robbers, Fletcher
Brown, colored, is still at large HIS
whereabouts, however, are known,
and his arrest may be expected at any
time.

The first official public act of the
new County Superintendent, Mr.. Jesse
A. Engle, has been as the presiding
officer Of the recent teachers institute,
and We congratulate him upon the ev-
licences Of fairness and consideration
which he has shown in the admins

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
Little Daughters Lie.

am the mother of eight children
and have had a great deal Of expert
ence with medicine. Last summer my
little daughter had the dysentery in
its worst form. We thought she would
die I tried everything l could think
Of, but nothing seemed to do her any
good. I saw by an advertisement IN
our paper that Chamberlains Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and got
a bottle at once 1t proved TO be one
Of the very best medicines We ever had
in the house. 1t saved my little daugh-
ter's life. l am anxious for every

deal Of anxiety and my little daugh-

Lynching Plan Fooled.

1t has come to light that move
meut was on foot Monday night, or Is
believed to have been on foot, to lynch
Sam johnson, the negro assailant Of
Emma Kerfoot. The plan, it is said,
failed because the lynchers had mis-
understanding as to where they were
to meet. The leader Of the party, it
is said, is Hagerstown saloon keeper,
and his place OF business was to be the
meeting place. Thirty or forty strang-
ers from the neighborhood Of the Ker-
foot home went to Hagerstown and
met at the saloon. The plan was to
assemble in pairs or tours in the Vi
entity of the jail, aud at a given signal
from the leader the entire crowd was
to storm the jail and demand the keys.
Cabman Joe Tyler hauled the leader
and two other men in his cab for about
a half hour, between y AID l o'clock.
The men talked about the lynching.
After the cabman had driven the men
over several back streets, near the
Jail, they were taken back to the sa-
loon and were then joined by half
dozen other men. The rest Of the
men, owing to some misunderstand-
ing as to where they were to meet,
failed to appear. Since tle assault 1t
is said the little girl has been III.

New Bells and Old.

Two new bells have been hung in
Shepherdstown this week. The first
is bell of thousand pounds weight
that has been placed in the tower of
Shepherd College StateNormal School.
The second is a acknowledgement
bell that was swung in the tower Of
the old college building, replacing the
bell that has 50 long served to strike
the hours recorded by the town clock.
The bells were cast by the Blymyer
Company of Cincinnati, and were pur-
chased by the executive committee Of
Shepherd College. L. G. Brotherton
and VIM. NJ. Sheet had the contract
for putting them in place, and the IN
teresting operations Of swinging them
into the towers were watched by many
spectators. The work was accom-
plished without the slightest accident
The old bell that was taken from
the clock tower was brought to Shep-
herdstown more than fifty years ago,
having been freighted here from Wash
ington on a canal-boat. 1t was orig
;naIlv nIaced in the tower of the old
Episcopal church, now occupied by
the colored Methodists. 1t remained
there until shortly before the war,
when, upon the completion of the new
church, it was removed to the town
hall tower, where it remained until
yesterday. 1t has not had a cheerful
sound, it must be said, for good
many years, large piece having been
broken from it, giving it a rather
cracked tone. It'll venerable OBJ
iect, however, and has told many
hours of joy and sorrow in Shepherds
town.

Morgan's Grove Fair.

The preparations for Morgan's Grove
fair, which will be held on the new
grounds September 5, 6, 7 and s, 1899,
are progressing rapidly. The build
ingsare almost entirely completed and
during the past week the stalls, pens,
etc., have been whitewashed, giving
them a neat and attractive appearance.
The entire grounds have been careful
ly gone over, the trees and shrubbery
trimmed, weeds uplooted, distractions
removed, and everything made ready
for the visitors to the fair.
The rates of admission to the fair
will be the same as last year, namely 4;
Persons over ten years Of age 25 cents
children under ten years are admitted
free season tickets so cents and fam
lily season tickets $3.50, good for
each day Of the fair. Stockholders
having paid-up stock will receive one
ticket for each share Of stock they
hold. Ample accommodations are
provided for vehicles and horses.
Secretary Hoffman has arranged for
a number of attractions. There will
be balloon ascension each day with
parachute descent. Blue Mountain
joe, who will have a show on the
grounds, will furnish this part Of the
performance.
A large proportion Of the stalls in
the live stock department have been
applied for, and there will be some
particularly fine herds of cattle ex-
hibited by our local stock raiser8 and
the farmers of this section.
The fencing has been entirely COM
pleted around the new grounds Of the
fair association. The fellow who tries
to sneak in will find it pretty hard
matter to elude the watchmen and at
the same time escape the sharp barbs
of the wire.
The usual number Of tent-holders
will be on hand this year-perhaps a
few more than ever before. This is
one of the pleasant features Of the fair.
