spring, and the past summer has beer
 spent fighting in the City of Mexico.
 There is one little peculiarity about
 these law suits.
 ! The peculiarity is that we have woI
 them all and carried every breast-worh
 from the home of the Pilgrims to the
 ancient city of the Montezumas.
 In Boston, after two days hearing
 in the Superior court, we came back l for the third days bout and found the
 enemy had surrendered during the
 night and discontinued the suit.
 In New York, our opponents got an injunction intended to tie up 5000.
 900 enterprise as tight as drum on a S250 bond, but M. Justice Truax dis solved the injunction in a decision in which he held that our opponents had no cause of action whatsoever: and they did not have life enough left even to appeal, but followed the Boston prece- dent and discontinued the suit. In Texas, they had replevined two cars of our matte which was passing through the state en route to New York but stalwart Texas jury gave us verdict for S9,600 damages which our opponents paid, again without ventur- ing to appeal.
 In Arizona they have tried all pro- cesses of law and all the resources of lawyers against us but all to no avail.
 And in Mexico, the Supreme Court of the Republic has recently decided the questions before it, entirely in our favor
 The parties to the record in all these Allegations constituted an ever-chang- ing series and the queiJions apparently at issue were as varied as to the leaves of the forest, but the lawyers and the men behind the throne were always the same and the motives of their attack remained unchanged all the way through.
 N Whatever name they used or under whatever form they appeared, the men against us were the men who were try ing to put obstacles in our way so as to get us to let them into our enterprise by the back door. They were the men who thought so much of our property that they were willing to go to all lengths to get it, and believed so much in our future that there was nothing they would not do to secure it for them. selves.
 They have found out their mistake and are repenting. The repentance of some comes too late and they are left out in the cold. The repentenee of others is in time and they are now coming in through the front door, pay. ing our prices for the stock the same as other people have had to.
 My firm has personally attended to Ill this litigation and some representa- tive or representatives of it have been present at and participated in every rial.
 should like to claim that this pro- ,ession of victories, so long as to be was due to the ability of he lawyers who won them, but am afraid l must confess that the merits of he controversy had something to do with the result.
 We have met and surmounted the difficulties necessarily attendant upon an enterprise of this magnitude-engi- ,eering, mechanical, financial and legal Treasure

Mr.. ChriSSinger'S Snake Bite.

AS a rule, commercial travellers do
not easily lose their nerve, but NJ. L.
Chrissinger, the popular salesman for
S. NJ. Bloom & Co., had a pretty bad
scare the other day. AS he was driv-
ing through a piece of woodland he
noticed some luscious blackberries
alongside the road. He couldn't re-
sist the temptation to have some Of
them, so he hitched his horse and
sailed in. AS he got deeper into the
bushes the berries became bigger and
better, and as he climbed upon rail
fence he found some that were espec-
tally luscious. He was enjoying them
greatly, when the unpleasant remem-
brance crossed his mind that where
the berries are best the snakes are
said to be biggest. Just at that In
slant, as he leaned over the fence, he
felt something entwine itself around
his leg and then came the sharp, keen
pain of the serpents tooth as its fangs
pierced his flesh He let out a yell
and gave a backward jump that car
ried him thirteen feet from the fence
by actual measurement. He rushed
for his buggy to get his snake-bite
medicine. He felt so faint, though,
he was obliged to sit down, and as his
last act concluded to examine the
wound to see what a snake bite looked
like. He rolled up his trousers and
saw-a fine large thorn from black
berry vine. He looked all around to
see if anybody was watching him,
sneaked back to the bushes and got
his hat, climbed into his buggy, drove
on, and possibly may want to deny
this story.

For a New School Building.

By reference to our advertising col
umns it may be seen that the Board
Of Education of Shepherdstown dis
trict advertises for bids for the erect
ion of new building for the use Of
the Shepherdstown Graded School.
Architect Samuel P. Humrickhouse
has shown us the plans of the proposed
building, which is designed to be
commodious and well-arranged struc-
ture. 1t is to be Of brick, two stories
high, with a basement, and Will be
about so by 90 feet in size. 1t is to
contain ten rooms Of good size, well
lighted and ventilated, and equipped
in modern style. 1t is to be built on
the lot occupied by the present build
ing, and Just where to locate it is a
problem with which the board Is
wrestling. If the old building is to
be used while the new one is being
erected it will have to be put on the
front of the lot, flush with the pave
ment, and eight or ten of the fine
trees in the yard will have to be de-
stroyed. In addition to these obiec-
tons, it will be very dangerous for
the children to attend school while
the work of construction is going on.
One solution of the difficulty has been
suggested, and that is to purchase ad-
Joining property if the same can be
secured at a reasonable price.
There is much objection to putting
the building on the front Of the lot,
and we hope that the board will fully
consider all the points and seek to
make the property desirable in every
particular.

Serious Accident to Mr.. Potfinberger.

Lawson w. Pofinberger, we'll
known resident of Shepherdstown met
with a painful accident about nine
o'clock last Thursday morning. Mr..
Pofinberger was in stick wagon, and
while going down the hill Just east Of
the Antietam National Cemetery at
Sharpsburg his horse became fright
ened at some COWS. The animal made
several plunges, and in trying to con-
troll it one of the lines broke. Mr..
Pofinberger succeeded in turning the
horse into the fence, but was himself
thrown violently from the wagon. His
nose was broken, several ribs were
fractured, he had bad cut above the
eve, and sustained numerous cuts and
bruises about the body. He was TAX
en- to Sharpsburg, where DR.. Carrot
attended to his injuries, and later was
removed to the home of his son-in-law,
between Sharpsburg and Shepherds
town, where he still remains. Although
suffering good deal from his injuries,
Mr.. Pofinberger is improving, and
hopes soon to be able to be out again.
The horse ran a mile or two, when
it was caught with no further dam
age. The wagon was considerably
broken.

Picnic and Reunion.

The Henry Kyd Douglas Camp of
Sons of Confederate Veterans will
hold basket picnic on Tuesday, Au-
gust 9TH, at the Fountain Rock fair
grounds, near Snepherdstown. 1t is
desired that this shall also include a
reunion of the old Confederate veter-
ans of this section, and that it shall be
participated in by the Daughters of
the Confederacy. All of the Confed-
crate organizations Of Jefferson and
Berkeley counties, veterans, sons and
daughters, as well as the people gen.
orally, are cordially invited to be in
attendance with their families. There
will be addresses by several Confed-
crate veterans, among those who have
been invited to speak being Col. Hen
ry Kyd Douglas, Capt. George Baylor,
Col. R. P. Chew and others. There
will be music, games and amusements
of various kinds, and every effort will
be put forth to make the day pleas
ant one.
1t should add interest to the picnic
to know that it is to be held at the
old Fountain Rock place-one Of the
first of the fine old mansions in the
Valley of Virginia to be burned by
the ruthless General Hunter. The
committee in charge hopes that this,
the first picnic held by the camp, may
prove an unbounded success and that
there may be large attendance.

The Death Record.

We regret to note the death OF MIS-
Mary V. Yantis, widow Of S. V. Yam
tbs, formerly of this vicinity, which
occurred last Thursday morning. Mrs
Yantis, who had been living with her
brother, Joseph A. Colbert, near Hall
town, since the death of her husband,
was on her way the previous Saturday
evening to make social visit to the
family of G. P. B. Stailey. Her son
Edward and her niece, Miss Agnes
Hess, were with her. When nearly
to their destination Miss Agnes no.
ticed something semed wrong with
her aunt, and when she spoke to her
received no reply, nor did she speak
again afterward. When they arrived
at Mr.. Stailey's Mrs. Yantis shook
hands with several members of the
family and walked upstairs to the
room she had occupied when she lived
there. Before reaching the bed she
was stricken with paralysis and be-
came totally unconscious, remaining
in that condition until Thursday
morning, when the spirit returned to
the God who gave it. Her sisters,
Mrs. J. n. Trussell and Mrs. T. l..
Hess, and her brothers, Joseph A,
George W. and Adam S. Colbert, were
with her when she died. 1t was a
coincidence that Mrs. Yantis should
have returned to the house and the
same room in which her husband
died, and that she passed away at the
same hour he expired, six o'clock in
the morning. The funeral services
were conducted by DR.. A. G. Hopkins
and the remains were inferred in the
cemetery at Charlestown. The de-
ceased, who was 40 years Of age, is
survived by one son, Edward. Mrs.
Yantis has recently connected herself
with the Presbyterian church in
Charlestown. She had many noble
traits of character, and was greatly
loved by all who knew her. In her
own family circle she was the object
of great affection, her unselfshness
and kindness winning for her the love
of all those who knew and appreciated
her sterling worth.
Mr.. Morgan Morgan, one Of Berke-
ley county, oldest residents, died last
Sunday at Gerardstown, aged years.
Mr.. Morgan is survived by four sons
DIR. Morgan Morgan, William E.
Morgan, Zepheniah Morgan and c.
Wright Morgan, all Of Berkeley coun-
ty. Mr.. Morgan is the sixth Of the
same name. His great grandfather,
Morgan Morgan, came to this country
from Wales and is said by some per-
sons to be the first white man who
settled west Of the Blue Ridge Noun
tains in Virginia.
Charles Scharf, well-known resi-
dent of Martinsburg, died last week at
Bedington, where he had carried a
crowd Of persons on picnic. 1t is said
that his death was caused by the in
tense heat and excessive drinking.
Mrs. Lillian Myrtle Lands, wife Of
Andrew Lands, died at Bedington,
Berkeley county, last Sunday, aged
% years. Her husband and two chill
dren survive her.
Mr.. Philip Pitzer died at Hedges
vile, Berkeley county, last week, in
the 8Oth year of his age.

A young woman of Baltimore, just
Is years of age, has decided to marry
a man old enough to be her grand
father, for the reason that he does not
drink and does not firt with other
women. While the exact age of the
prospective bridegroom is not known,
the wisdom Of the bride in selecting
him is certainly to be commended, but
she better watch him.
