tempted to skate to the Virginia Ore
Bank. When about half way there,
in lonely section, they broke through
the ice. They were seen by Michael
Kidwiler, who was about half a mile
away, and were fighting the ice fran
tically in an effort to save their lives.
Mr.. Kidwiler ran to their assistance,
but before he could reach the place
they had sunk. only their hats remain
ing on the surface of the water. They
had made desperate efforts to save
themselves, having broken the ice If
teen or twenty feet towards the shore.
Geo. ". Moler and his son and Car
roll Engle were notified by Mr.. Kid
wiler, and they hauled boat to the
place and launched it, breaking the
ice to the point where the bodies had
last been seen, some fifty yards from
shore. With boat hooks Mr.. Moler
raised the bodies, which were taken
ashore. They were afterward taken
to Harper's Ferry, prepared for burial
and then sent to Kearneysville. The
funeral service was held in the Re-
formed church at Kearneysville on
Monday, and was conducted by Rev.
Geo. G. Everhart, assisted by Rev. H.
H. Kennedy. The bodies were in
TERED side by side in Elmwood Gem
etery, Shepherdstown. The funeral

Gave Him Decent Burial.

The good people of Shenandoah
Junction were not satisfied with the
way in which the man Miller was
buried there by the B. & o. Railroad
hands, and the regulations that pre-
vented his decent burial by the county
authorities have been much commented
upon by the citizens generally. S. L.
Williams, one Of the publie-spirited
residents of the Junction, interested
himself in the matter, and raised
subscription sufficiently large to have
the remains taken up and buried in
the graveyard at Dufields. This was
done yesterday, to the credit of those
who had it accomplished.

Pneumonia Can be Prevented.

This disease always results from
cold or an attack of the grip and may
be prevented by the timely use of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. That
remedy was extensively used during
the epidemics of La Grippe of the past
few years, and not single case has
ever been reported that did not recover
or that resulted in pneumonia, which
shows it to be a certain preventative
of that dangerous disease. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has gained a
world wide reputation for its cures of
colds and grip. For sale by Remnants

He was very patient during his short ILL

away without a struggle or a groan,
leaving the earthly house TO the care OF
friends, while angels bore the redeemed
spirit to the mansions prepared by the
Saviour for followers, and while we know
nothing Of the higher. nobler work that
was waiting for a loved one, yet faith in
Gods word and His love leads US TO
believe that al times he is still with US
in company with miniStering angels,

shall be heir Of salvation.
We miss thee so much.
But cannot call thee back

And SHRINK beneath His touch.
No thou art safe at rest
Where sickness cannot come,
Where pam Of parting ecr - felt
Nor sadness cross the breast
Farewell but not forever
Well meet thee soon again.
We too shall lay our bodies down
And cross the parting UVcT.
