Confederate Reunion.

The annual reunion and picnic held
by the Henry Kyd Douglas Camp,
United Sons Of Confederate Veterans,
at Morgan's Grove yesterday, was a
very enjoyable occasion. The rain
poured down the whole OF the previous
day, and the prospects were indeed
gloomy. But Wednesday morning
the clouds broke and the sun smiled,
and it was determined to have the
picnic according to programme. There
is little doubt that many were kept
from attending by the threatening
weather, but by noon a large crowd
of Veterans, Sons and Daughters had
gathered at the historic old Fountain
Rock and were in for a general good
time. Besides the many persons from
this county and Berkeley, there were
visitors also from Maryland and Vir-
ginia, congenial gathering of loyal
Southerners. Capt. W. II. Kearfott,
commander OF the local camp of Sons,
was in charge of the exercises of the
day, and was indefatigable in his eff
forts to make things pleasant for the
visitors. In the afternoon an inter-
esting programme was rendered. Capt
W. B. Colston, the popular Berkeley
county ex-Rebel, presided. The chief
address was delivered by Mr.. VIM. H.
Wilson, of Charles Town, son of our
former beloved Congressman from this
district. Mr.. Wilson's address was
thoughtful and appropriate one, de-
livered with force and earnestness,
and was enjoyed and appreciated by all
who heard it. Mr.. J. T. Griffith,
delegate from the Jeb Stuart Camp
of Veterans of Berryville, also spoke
briefly and acceptably to his old COM
rades and others who were present.
Many years ago Mr.. Griffith was a
merchant at Dufields, this county, and
it was a pleasure to his old friends to
greet him again. REGULATIONS were
delivered by Miss Daisy Myers, Miss
Margaret Welshans and Miss Louise
Anna Snyder, and several songs were
sung by the ladies. The chaplain Of
the camp, Rev. DR.. Ghiselin, offered
prayer and closed the exercises with
the benediction.
The day was an extremely pleasant
one in every respect, and we suppose
that the picnic will now be perma-
nent annual event for our community.
The Sons were present in forcein their
neat and attractive uniforms, and pre-
sented fine appearance, though the
old Veterans seemed to have an idea
that they themselves looked much bet
ter III their Palmy days. The Shep-
herdstown Band, under the leadership
of G. w. Humrickhouse, furnished
enjoyable music during the day. No
unpleasant incident of any sort marred
the pleasure Of the occasion, and the
promoters Of the reunion are to be con-
graduated upon its entire success.

Now For a Big Corn Crop.

A splendid rain prevailed through
ont this section from early Tuesday
morning until late in the EVENING"
good, soaking rain that was worth
many thousands of dollars to the farm
ers. The corn needed it badly just at
this time, and unless there shall be
some extraordinary spell of weather
it may be safely asserted that a very
large crop is now assured. A big
corn crop means much this year, for
the failure of the crop in the West
insures good prices in this part of the
country. Dealers are offering 40 cents
bushel now for corn for November
delivery, and the prospect of a large
yield makes our farmers feel pretty
comfortable.

The Mnrgan,S Grove Fair.

The next exhibition Of the Morgan s
Grove Fair Association, which will be
held September 3. 4, 5 and 6, promises
to be one Of the most interesting held
in recent years. The managers booked
a novel attraction this week, when they
closed a contract for the appearance
Of Signor Alvin, who ascends 1000
feet into the air and is then automat-
ically fired from a cannon and descends
to earth by means of a parachute.
This is said to be most thrilling ex-
hibition, and may be witnessed on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Of
the fair. The preparations for the
sham battle on Wednesday, the 9Th,
are progressing favorably, and we
have no doubt that this will prove to
be very entertaining feature, includ-
ing, as it does, military drill by a
number of visiting companies and the
battle in which the Red Men of Mar
tinsburg will also participate.
Secretary Hoffman desires that those
persons who wish to be provided with
tents will let him know by August Goth,
and he will see that the orders are
filed.
The premium lists of the fair, print
ed at the REGISTER Office, are now
ready for distribution.

The temperance picnic held at Shen-

BakertOn Lightning.

A dizzy story is reported from Ba-
kerton, and though We tell the tale as
twas told to US we don't guarantee
the facts. The yarn is that one day
last week during a storm that passed
over that section, Albert Moler got
the better of stroke Of Lightning.
He was standing under shed during
the storm when the lightning made
a iab at him and struck him amidship,
but instead of hurting him contented
itself with tearing the buttons off of
his trousers. The buttons were metal,
and attracted the electricity with this
singular result. The story failed to
state what became of the buttons.

Among the Churches.

The Lutherans Of Waynesboro, Pa,
have determined by practically unan-
imous vote to erect a new church at a
cost of about $4,000. Rev. c. II.
Hockey, formerly Of Shepherdstown,
is the energetic paster Of this congre-
cation, and under his capable leader
ship the new movement is bound to
succeed. The improvement has been
contemplated for some time, but the
question has been whether to remodel
the present structure, which seemed
too good to tear down, or to build an
entirely new church edifce. After
long consideration it has been deter
mined to tear down the building that
now occupies the lot and put up new
and modern church that shall be of
sufficient size to accommodate the
large congregation.
Rev. DR.. James R. Graham, pastor
emeritus of the Presbyterian Church
Of Winchester, observed the Gfty-frst
anniversary Of his ministry last Sunday
in an unexpected manner. He was
invited to preach at the Falling Wa
tiers, w. Va. church and it so happened
that exactly 81 years ago, August 4,
1850, he preached his first sermon at
the Falling Waters church. Not one
of his original congregation is LETT.
Since that time DR.. Graham has been
actively engaged in the ministry in
Winchester.

The regular August term of the
County Court for Jefferson county con-
vened in Charles Town Monday. The
session was taken up with the settle
ment of Eugene Baker, late sheriff,
with the board of education Of Harper's

ton claimed that a number of orders

that the name of Richard Henderson,
the president of the board, was forged.
Rockenbaugh was found dead recently
in a wood near his home, in Bolivar,

ed the forgeries were discovered. The
court allowed the sheriff the orders.

the Shenandoah Valley division of the
Norfolk and Western Railroad, the
express car, combination mail and bag
gage car and the tender left the rails
and were wrecked. Beyond a severe
shaking up none of the passengers or

Brakeman Gardeners Narrow Escape.


Frank G, Gardner, aged about 25
years, a freight brakeman on the Nor
folk & Western Railway, met with an
accident at Shenandoah Junction last
Sunday night about 9 o'clock in which
he was severely injured and had a mar
row escape from horrible death. He
was on the end Of a gondoIa attempt
ing to release the brake, which had
been put on by the air in an emergen-
cy. While thus engaged another car
drifted against the gondola and caused
the brake to loosen so suddenly that
the wheel was torn from his grasp.
This left him without support and he
fell headlong to the ground in front
of the moving car. His left leg was
caught over an axle and in the rig
ging. His other leg was doubled up
and he was dragged short distance.
In some manner, he cannot explain,
he released his leg from the axle. The
cars moved over him as he lay between
the rails. His lantern was standing
near the switch and this gave him
light enough to see the low hanging
rigging so that he could avoid it. He
was thus able to save his life Two
cars passed over him and he then
managed to get out ofthe way. Shortly
afterward train No 4, Capt. Harris in
charge, came along and Gardner was
brought to Hagerstown. He was so
injured that he could not move. His
hip and back are badly bruised and
torn.-Hagersto,cn Herald.

man c. w. Grow, who run the local
passenger train on the Norfolk &
Western Railway on the Shenandoah
division, received the appreciativ e
thanks of the passengers on their train
last week. Seeing the crowd at the
Sunday school convention at Luray,
they voluntarily provided an extra car
for the delegates on Friday, a courtesy
that made the delegates most grateful
for the thoughtfulness that inspired

managers Of the railroads would put
more authority in the hands of the
men who run the trains and those who
come into direct contact with the peo-

great deal better.

set up again and classes himself with

similar high-class weather sharps.
Last Sunday Mr.. Hill cooked his eyes
up towards the elements and ventured
the assertion that it would rain on
Monday. An upper current of air
that bore clouds from the east seemed
to make this probable, but after TAX
ing another squint the weather prophet
reconsidered his forecast and said that
it would not rain before Tuesday.
Pressed still further, he gave the con-
6dent prediction that it would be a
big rain-that there would be plenty
of it, not simply a passing summer
shower, and that the corn crop was
safe. Well,everybody knows it poured
down nearly all day Tuesday, and

Exiled Venezuelan Don't Believe
Castro viii Mix UP With :.
coionoht, -

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Oct.
IA representative of the Associat-
ed Press interviewed DR.. Alexandra
Urbaneja, president Of the executive
committee of the Venezuelan National
LIST revolutionary, party regarding tho
political situation. DR.. Urbaneja Is
the virtual leader of the party and
the personal representative of Eel
Mocho," General Hernandez. He was
cabinet minister Under former Presi-
dent Crespo and Is a prominent law
yer. He Is in exile In Curacao. He
said in part:
"The Nationalists until the present
time have passively witnessed Presi-
dent Castro's attitude and actions to-
ward Colombia, but they are now
compelled to protest against them.
Neither the Nationalists nor the coun-
try at large have ever sustained the
actions Of Castro-actions which now
promise an international war; The
Nationalists do not desire war with O
sister republic, nor would they follow
Castro In a war. On the contrary,
they, as well as the country at large,
would refuse to participate.
IF Colombia had ever really Offend
I'd Venezuela, there would be no me-
cessity for Castro's forcible recruit
ing, as at present, in order to obtain
an army to punish the offending coun-
Try. In such an event all Venezuel.
ans would Loyalty and enthusiastically
join to punish the offender.
II do not think President Castro
will declare war against Colombia.
IN the first place, to do so legally re
must obtain the consent of the
Venezuelan congress, which will not
convene before February next. In
the second place, do not believe the
members Of the Venezuelan congress.
although they all are partisans of
Castro would ever consent to a ruin
Gus war with Colombia In order to
help the Colombian revolutionists.
III he intended to declare war he
would attempt to unite all Venezuel-
ans OF all political creeds in a solid
front against Colombia. Quite the
contrary Is the case. He Is persecut-
Ing the numerous Nationalists, and
the latter will before long lose pa
tience, turn on their tormentor ac-
lively and in arms, and declare
against him in retaliation.
Concerning 'El Mocho' who is a
prisoner at San Carlos, I can say that

tary confinement in dark and un-
ventilated cell, Notwithstanding the
chains on his arms and legs, the lack
Of exercise and the wretched food.
