Mrs. Jane Washington Moncure, the only
survivor of the immediate family. was no.
titled of Miss Washington's death. and di-
rected that the remains be taken to her

Miss Washington was born in Jefferson
County, w. Va, sixty years ago. Her
father was William Temple Washington,

houn Fletcher, a daughter of Gen. Thomas

the Count de Flechir, a French nobleman,
who came to America with Lafayette and
enlisted his services on the side Of Amer

To Miss Washington belongs the honor
of having, together with Mrs. Ellen Wal
worth OF New York, and Miss Mary Desha.
of this city, originated the society of the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
At this period the recent events of
the civil war were large In the public
eye and Miss Washington first conceived
the idea of an organization of lineal de-
scendants Of the patriots who had fought
and bleed for American independence in
the War of the Revolution. She feared
that the fresher glories of the civil war
might tend to make people forget the
grand achievements of their forefathers
in the days when the colonies were strug-
Cling under the yoke of British suprem-
acy, and realized that an organization like
the Daughters Of the American Revolution
would do much to perpetuate the deeds
of soldiers of that war.
For several years Miss Washington was
Register General Of the society and the
files of the records during that time are
memorials of her devotion to the work.
She was an expert penwoman and engross-
ed all the certificates of membership
which were issued during her tenure Of
office.

FOUR RIBS FRACTURED.
H. D. Parsons Narrowly Escaped Death
in Last Saturdays Accident.

II. D. Parsons OF this city, has been
confined to his bed since Saturday
nursing four fractured ribs on his right
side and number of severe bruises all
over his body, sustained in a run away
accident OF which he was the victim at
an early hour Saturday forenoon while
driving down one OF the steep hills
along the Pembina river, where he had
gone to dig trees. The rough condition
OF the road upset the covered delivery
wagon which he was driving, throwing
Mr.. Parson out and startling the team
which broke into a run. Mr.. Steven
son, OF that locality, who was along,
escaped with nothing worse than bad
shaking up and was able to look after
the removal OF his companion to the
home OF Amos Casey, near by where the
accident occurred. DR.. Gibson was
summoned and after dressing the injur-
les found it would be possible to remove
the patient Sunday morning to his home
in town, where he is now resting as we'll
as could be expected.

BATS AND BALLS.
Hard Hitting and Good Fielding Won Ice
Cream for the Kid Nine.

Thursday evening Langdon's first and
second mines crossed bats on the new
diamond east OF Second street and
played four inning game, the winners
to eat ice cream at the expense OF those
suffering defeat. The crowd was there
and rooted for both players and umpire
until the agony was over. The first
innings the big fellows shut the kids out
and scored six runs but after that their
grand stand plays could hardly be seen
with the aid OF a telescope-wlth very
powerful lens at that. Darkness drew
a curtain over the painful scene at the
close OF the fourth innings when the
tally sheet showed score OF 10 to 13
in favor OF the juniors. The other
fellows paid for the ice cream admitting
that the kids play fairly strong game
this season and are constrained to
admit that the old nine is not 80 many.

Destruction by Fire.
A small blaze was discovered early
Saturday morning in the wash house at
B. r. Clicks home that only for the
prompt steps taken might have caused

OF residences along Fifth street. Heat
from the stove pipes when the fire was

lumber and felt carpet paper that had

inside was quite badly charred and the
flames about ready to burst through
