There have been various stories

There have been various stories
written about the stealing Of the Bal
timore and Ohio Rail Road engines
at Martinsbury, w. Va, during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail-
roads BY Col. Thomas Sharp, who Is
still living in Ohio. Recently, an Of
f1cial of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road made some inquiries of old EN-
ployes who were at Martinsburg at
the time the incident happened and
they say that on June 10, 1861, 200
men of Genl Stonewall Jackson's
command were detailed to destroy the
BALTIMORE and Ohio's equipment at
Martinsburg. They piled wood and
coal over Al engines and nearly 400
cars and then set fire to them. Only
ten or twelve of the engines, however,
were seriously damaged, and these not
by the fire, but because the water was
first let out of the boilers. Col. Sharp
arrived In Martinsburg on August Is,
1861, and remained there until the fol-
lowing March, engaged in removing
engines, machinery, etc. He took
eight engines across the country over
the turnpike, either to Staunton, Win
chester or Strasburg, land there are
some historians who disagree on this
point 80 horses being required to haul
each engine. He also removed all the
duplicate parts of engines and cars
and all the rough iron at the station,
and took away all machinery and
tools which were afterward used in the
Southern arsenals The country around
Martinsburg is extremely hilly and the
work Of getting the engines over the
country roads required considerable
engineering ability 1t has been cur
rently reported in late years that one
of the locomotives was the Winans
camel back No. 80 which at that time
was numbered n, but Col Sharp did
not care for this class Of engines and
took only ten wheel and passenger en-
| gines. There was only one eight wheel
locomotive taken and that was No "a.
Some years after the war Col. Sharp
was employed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road as Master Of Trans
portation

One day not long ago" said a brick

across the brickyard. II seemed such
an unusual sort Of proceeding that he
stopped his work to watch them. Two
OF the rats held the straw at the oppo-
site ends, while the third supported
the center. They were making straight
for the river. which flowed by one side
of the yard. When they arrived at the
bank they laid down the straw and
took long drink; then they proceeded
to take up the straw again in the same
manner as before and returned by the
same way they had come. This so in

Having provided himself with a gun,
he shot all three to see If possibly he
might thereby solve the mystery. He
discovered that the rat in the center
was blind, and therefore concluded that
this was the animals kind method OF
leading their afflicted comrade to the

POTATOES GROWN AT KADIAK.
southeastern coast; at Kadiak, on Ka-
diak island, off the southern coast, and
at Kenai, on the Kenai peninsula be-
side Cook inlet, about 10 miles to the
north and east. The conditions at Sit
ka represent all the heavily timbered
region of southeastern Alaska. with its
deep moss and peaty soil. At Kadiak
the climate is somewhat cooler, and
the soil less peaty, while in the Kenai
peninsula there is large area of agri-
cultural land inside the coast range,
which presents favorable conditions
for farming, although it lies north Of
the sixtieth parallel of north latitude
Last year the department sent to
Alaska a special agent. Prof C. C.
Georgeson, native of Denmark. He
made his headquarters at Sitka and
Skaguay, and experimental with seeds
of over 100 varieties of grain, vege-
tables, grasses and forage plants. He
also distributed seeds to individuals in
other localities in Alaska and made
arrangements for cooperative expert
ments and reports as to the results OBJ
tanned. All Of the seeds were planted
between May IS and May 25 The sea-
son was backward, and it was imprac-
ticable to plant them earlier
OF vegetable seeds planted there were
asparagus, wax beans, beets, cress,
kale, lettuce, mustard, onions, pars-
ley parsnips. peas, radishes ruta-
bagas, rhubarb. satisfy, spinach, sage,
thyme, turnips and Windsor beans. All
these, including in some cases several
varieties Of each, except the wax beans
and spinach. made excellent growth
and produced vegetables and plants
that compared favorabE with the prod
ucts of gardens almost anywhere in
southern ATTITUDES. The peas were
especially prolific, and the turnips, rad
ishes, parsnips, parsley and satisfy
produced roots as good as can be found
anywhere Some of the turnips weighed
five pounds each, and some even 10
pounds, and were of excellent flavor
Potatoes also were a decided success.
Many of them weighed each a pound
or more.
A more important test, however,
was made with grains and forage
plants. Oats and barley were grown
at Sitka and Skaguay with gratifying
results. Several varieties of Nor
wegian and Russian barley were grown
with the same excellent result as with
the oats. OF forage plants there were
seeded several varieties of Norwegian
clover, timothy, hairy vetch and Riga
fax, and all were successful, the clover
being especially vigorous, measuring
over two feet high.
Alaska is re-eminently land of
small fruits and berries The flavor
Of most of the native varieties is pro-
nounced to be so excellent. that it is
said they are worthy of introduction
