Destructive Farm Fire.

One of the most destructive farm
fires that has ever occurred in this
county was that of Tuesday night,
which destroyed the barn, stable and
corncrib, with their entire contents,
on the farm of VIM. J. Knott, tenanted
by his son, George NJ. Knott, near
Moler's Cross Roads, four miles east
of Shepherdstown. NJ. II. SINNERS
clover huller had been in operation in
the barn, threshing clover seed, and
late in the afternoon work was stopped
on account of a hot box. Water was
poured on the hot journal, and there
was no thought that there was any
danger. But the probability is that
sparks were left smouldering some
where, for in no other way can the
fire be accounted for. About nine
o'clock Mr.. Knott went to the barn and
looked around to see if everything
was all right. He saw no indication
Of fire nor of trouble Of any sort. He
went back to the house, and in a few
moments was surprised to find flames
bursting from the barn, which seemed
to be afre from top to bottom. He
ran hastily to the building and en-
deavored to liberate the horses and
cattle that were in it, but he found it
impossible to do go. He narrowly es
capped from the barn himself, having
been caught by blaze in the horse
stalls, burning his face quite badly.
The brilliant light from the great
fire soon caused the people to assem-
bic in numbers, but nothing could be
done to save the property. The large
barn, stable, corpcrib and other
smaller buildings nearby were all
consumed with their contents. In the
barn were many tons of hay and fod-
der, clover seed, farm implements,
harness, ETC., all of which went up IN
smoke. Eight horses and colts, three
COWS and three steers persisted misera-
bly, in the flames. The total loss will
foot up to about $4,000. The barn
was insured for 81 900, which will not
cover the loss, as it was large and
substantial structure, built within the
past year. There was no insurance
on the contents, and George NJ. Knott,
the owner, is a very heavy loser. The
clover huller belonging to Mr.. Skin
ner was destroyed also. The fire lit
up the sky for miles around and was
visible for long distance. A num-
Der of persons drove out from Shep-
herdstown to the scene.

The Way Of the TranSgreSsOr.

Rev. David H. Shields, formerly Of
Martinsburg, who was recently dis
missed as a chaplain of the United
States army for drunkenness, was
picked up on the streets Of San Fran
cisco a few days ago in almost dying
condition. He was hastily conveyed
to the city receiving hospital, where
he lies in a precarious state. 1t Is ev-
ident that want and starvation have
reduced the former army chaplain to
the physical wreck he is. Without
friends or money enough with which
to secure a meal, exposed to the cold
rains and winds and but thinly clad,
the wretched man had dragged him
self about the city streets for the last
few days and finally collapsed through
sheer exhaustion. His pulse was
very weak when taken to the hospital
and the physicians gave it as their
opinion that he might not survive.
When he recovered consciousness he
promised to reform, and if he RECEIVERS
sufficiently his friends will send him
to his wife in Detroit, Mich. He is
far advanced in consumption, and 1t
is not believed that he will survive.

No Riuht To Uqliness.

The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be attrac-
tive must keep her health. II she is
weak, sickly and all run down, she will
be nervous and irritable. If she has
constipation or kidney trouble, her i'm
pure blood will cause pimples, blotches,
skin eruptions and wretched complex
ion. Electric Bitters is the best medi-
cine in the world to regulate stomach,
liver and kidneys and to purify the
blood 1t gives strong nerves, bright
eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich com
plexion. 1t will make gOod-lOoking,
charming woman of a rundown invalid.

Great Electric Plans.

If the plans Of the promoters are
carried out, Jefferson county will soon
have electricity sufficient for all needs.
There is a scheme afoot by the man
agement of the Harper's Ferry Electric
Light Company to utilize the splendid
water power Of the Shenandoah and
Potomac river at that place, to gen.
crate electricity and furnish Charles
town, Shepherdstown, Martinsburg,
Winchester and other towns Of the
lower Valley with power to run ma
chinery as well as supplying electric
lights. In this scheme, upon an al
ready developed capacity Of 5000
horse power, it Is deemed practicable
to run every engine now run by steam
in the above towns, and furnish the
necessary light, at saving Of thous-
ands Of tons Of coal. The company
has issued its capital stock, and has
the money for the enterprise, and to
this end applied last week through its
manager, Geo. R. Bready, to the JEFF
ferson County Court for permission to
plants poles for the wires, which per.
mission was granted. F. P. Unger, of
Charlestown, also applied fer the same
privilege for a similar scheme, the
plant to be located at Wcverton
which was also granted.
