Prosperous Farming Conditions.

In an interview with Deputy
Water Commissioner Rogers this
morning he stated that there was
plenty of water ON -Four Mile, but
there are a number of persons at
the head of the canon who are
using more than their share. A
deputy was called up there to see
that the water was properly dis
tributed,
At Greenwood there has been
no water and especially in the
vicinity of the Blake ranch, but
there has been plenty of rain a
short distance this side of that
point. The first crop of alfalfa
was ,avy but the second will not
be nearly SO large.
There is abundance of water on
Beaver creek and the farmers have
all secured good crops. There will
be no shortage there this year, but

| BIG DEAL WITH WANAMAkER,
The Prince of Merchants Places Orders
Amounting to Nearly 81 900 With
the Brass works-SpecfaI Buy
ers sent Here were Well
Pleased.

On Wednesday evening Mr.. G. Noble
of Philadelphia. and c. W. Hoffman
Of New York, main department BUYERS
of John Wanamaker s two big stores,
came to Martinsburg to visit the
Brass Works. Mr.. Wanamaker had
been so we'll satisfied with small lots
of this company's goods, which he
had been buying from time to time,
that he sent his chief buyers in the
department of Fancy tables, lamps and
chandeliers to investigate.
The result was an order for the New
York Store, and another for the Phila-
delphia establishment, which included
literally every article" in these three
lines that the Brass Works makes.
The orders amount to between So, 900
and 1000. to be delivered not later
than October 1st.
The buyers fer the other fancy
goods departments will probably in
crease the orders, in their lines, up to
total of $1,000.
As Mr.. Wanamaker had already
tried these goods and knows what the
public will buy, it is a great tribute
to the character and quality of Mar
tinsburg wares, that he bought the
entire list, and bought so literally.
The most satisfactory part of the sale
was that it was made at regular list
prices, with no special discount.
.Messrs. Noble and Hoffman were
driven around the city and shown its
various beauties, but Mr.. Wanamak
err will not buy the whole town at
present. This order will increase the
factory work for the summer. and
will be verv welcome

Fourth Inning score stood
4 too I'm Home Teams

With four scores to the credit Of the
home team and goose egg to the
credit of the visitors--the Williams
port club--one of the most interest
ing games started here this season
| was stopped in the first half Of the
| fourth inning by terrific downpouT
| Saturday afternoon.
The game started out with much
vim and snap in it, the Martinsburg
players holding their own in the field
and doing some excellent work with
the stick and in running bases. For
getting stolen bases the Williamsport-
ers were easy" while their own
base running was very poor. Not
ne of the Williamsporters succeeded
in reaching third base and very few
Of them reached second. The chief
cause Of it was the fact that they
failed to land on Shell. a number
of them reached first base on balls and
on two errors on the infeld. Several
Of these. reached second, but there is
were they stuck.
The fourth inning had just begun,
the visitors were at the bat with two
hands out, when the rain put an end
to the game,

put up Saturday afternoon they will

PANTS COMPANY TO BUILD.
Lot Secured from the G. v. IL x. Co. and
ork on n Com m odious Brick Build
Ing VIII he Commenced Next
Wtek-Pants Factory's Re
markable Growth

The Shenand ah Pants Factory,
Martinsburg' newest and one of its
most progressive industries, has ex-
banded so much since its establish
ment about three years ago that it
cannot expand any more in its pre-
sent quarters. Therefore, in order
that it may continue TO expand and
increase its output, the company will
erect "a commodious new brick build
ing, $50 feet long by so feet wide, TWO
stories in height and with a basement.
The company has long had under
consideration the erection of new
building but not until this week were
they able TO secure the necessary
ground From the Cumberland Val
ley Railroad Company the company
has secured the lot bordering on
First street between the railrod and
the property of Sencindiver and
Stewart. The lot is 240 feet long by
60 feet wide and will furnish an ex-
cellent location for the erection of the
new factory building
The lot will either be leased or
bought from the railroad company
The terms have not yet been finally
agreed upon. but the deal has pro-
crossed TO such an extent that the
company has been assured of posses
sion of tho lot.
The growth of the Shenandoah Pants
Factory has been remarkable, Start
ing in the second story of 5. A. Yves =
tenhaver's carpenter shop, with q
force of only about ten hands, II has
taken such rapid strides forward that
it now occupies the whole building,
| together with Two story addition
that was recently built, and employees
a force of ninety-one hands. Even
now, with that force of hands and
with the increased capacity the com
pany is unable to supply the demand
/ for the OUTPUT of the factory. When
the new building is completed twenty
machines will be put in in addition
/ To the silky now in use, which will
require an increase in tie working
force of about thirty employees That
will make an increase OF over hun
bred employees in almost three years
a record of which any COMPANY coulo
| feel proud
1t is the intention to commence
work on the the new building by
July ! and to have it completed and
occupied by the first of October,
When the factory starts into opera
ton in the new building the power
will be changed from gas TO steam.

STRUCK AN OBSTRUCTION.
Two Wheels of Fast Freight Train No
81 erailed Near This City by an
Obstacle Placed on the Track.

Whether large iron tap got on one
of the rails on the B, and 0. at
Tabb's Crossing, short distance
west of this city, last evening bv acct
dent or was put there by some one
with malicious or mischievious intent
is mystery that the Baltimore 81
Ohio officials are now trying to solve.
Anyhow, the piece of iron was on
the rail and it came very near serious
" wrecking fast freight train No. 81.
The wheels of the pony truck were
derailed, but the engineer stonped
the train in time to prevent the other
wheels from going off the track. If
the engine had been going at higher
rate of speed it would IN all probable
ity have jumped the track.
Suspicion has been directed toward
a young boy and his arrest on the
charge of placing the obstruction ON
the track will likely take place.

BIG ADDITION TO WOODEN MILL.
THE NEW BUILDING WILL BE A
TwO-sTORY BRICK STRUCTURE.
This VIII Mean the Same 10 Martinsburg
as the Establishment ola New Indus
try-over Seventy-Gve Additional

Thesold original factory building
of the Crawford Wooden Company is
doomed to go. All that remains of
the old frame. structure in which the
Crawford Wooden Mill first started in
to operation, on nearly all sides of
which brick additions have sprung up
in recent years, will in the near fu-
ture be replaced by a modern two
story brick structure.
That decision has been reached by
the Crawford Wooden Company and
before another year rolls around that
unsightly wooden structure which
stands at the front of the BRICK build
ings will be a thing of the past. The
new building VIII extend from Raleigh
street back to the beginning of the
long brick addition which was recent
" built TO the original factory build
ing. 1t will be two stories in height
and will have a basement.
1t is probable that work on the new
building will be commenced this sum
mer but it is not likely that it will
be commenced until next spring.
This new addition to that steadily
advancing manufacturing industry
will mean almost the same to Mar
tinbsurg as the establishment of a
new industry here, as it will increase
the capacity of the mills and VIII re,
qufre an addition to the working
force of from seventy-five to eighty
employees. In the Wooden Mill there
are now employed two hundred hands
and the new addition will bring the
list of employees on the paw roll up to
the three hundred mark. This, of
course, does not include the hands
employed at the Worsted & Cashmere
Mill, which is branch of the Wooden
Mill.

MORE FIGHTING
in CAPE COLONY
'i.neraI Kitchener Needs More
Mounted Men to RepeI
the Beers.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-There is an uncon-
Ifrmed report from Cape Town that fight
ing has occurred eighty miles north of
Matjesfontein.
Cape Town special says: General
Kitchener has sent dispatch to General
Forestier-Walker, in command of the
British forces at Cape Town, saying:
Il am glad to hear of the Ministers ac-
ton. Give them all the assistance in
your power. Use trains to get these coll
oniSts south of the enemy. Ask the Pre-
uier to inform me if l can help in any
way. Inform him that the enemy are few
but very mobile. Well mounted men are
most required to surround them or drive
them north
The action of the Ministers of Cape
Colony referred to by General Kitchener
is the calling on the loyalists to assist
the military by the formation of a paid
defense force.
A station master of the Fraserburg
road has seized number of cases mark

LONDON, Jan. 4.--Advices from Cape
Town this morning are more hopeful, ow-
ing to the active recruiting of local
forces in all quarters, and a better feel
ing prevails in London, based upon the
prospect of Lord Roberts taking the reins
at the War Office
From Sydney, N S. W.. it is reported
that there is quite a rush of men there
anxious to join the new contingents, 5000
having volunteered The report of Lord

also tends to remove anxiety According
to the Daily Express, Lord Kitchener has
warned the mine-owners that they must

Won WALDERSEE
MAY BE DEAD
A Rumor That is Current Both
in Paris and
Berlin.

PARIS, Jan 4.-Le Journal reports
under reserve the death of Count Won
Waldersee, the rumor being that he
was killed by an officer of the allied
troops, the circumstances not being
related. 1t is said that the rumor is
current in Berlin. where it is not con-
firmed.
PICKING, Jan. '3.-At a meeting of
the foreign ministers today it was an
nounced that Lii Hung Chang and
Prince Ching were preparing to sign
an agreement as soon as it is ready for
signature. Lii Hung Chang desires to
conduct the peace negotiations to a
conclusion and the physicians attend
ing him think he might be taken to
the Spanish legation, where the con-
ferences have been held, if the weather
is favorable. The Germans are re-
ported to be returning to Sanho with
a number of prisoners.
The punitive expeditions of the pow
ers, prove to have been simply footing
parties. Lieutenant Colonel Whit Of
the Sixth Cavalry met the Germans at
Tanghin, where the latter had taxed
the villagers 1000 taels (s2.7OO) and one
hundred pony-loads of furs as punish
ment for the alleged murder Of
imaginary Christians. He had express
orders from General Chaffee to Coop
crate with the Germans, but withdrew.
The Interior motive and object of the
Germans in reducing the province to a
desert, and in destroying the last YES
tiges of Chinese authority is apparent,
but why the American forces should
be supposed to assist in the work is
not clear.
SHANGHAI, Jan. 3.-The Chinese
newspaper, Chung Wei Hei 40, makes
the following statement: 1.-THE impe-
rial rescript accepting the peace condi-
lions instructs the Chinese commits
sioners, when discussing points not
specified, to gain as many concessions
as possible. The conditions involve
two hundred debatable questions"
