Merry Times at the Merry-Go-Round.

Lawrence Brown has been having
some lively experiences in that festive
town across the river where the Will
Transport Leader is published. Law
renee has his flying horses in opera
ton there, and they are a source of
much amusement to the Williamsport-
ers, who don't get to see much except
the unloading of canalboats and an
occasional outing along the canal on a
two-mule barge. There seems to be
some reluctance to paying for the priv
ilege of being whirled around on a
gaily.caparisoned wooden horse to the
tune of "Sweet Marie, and some I'M
known person who had been elected
because he refused to pay his fare at
tempted to wreck the flying horses by
throwing a block of wood in the ma
chinery. He caused such jolt that
a girl was endorsed, or uncameled,
and came near being seriously injured.
Lawrence had thoughtfully provided
himself with shotgun before he went
to Williamsport, and he went a-hunt-
ing for the miscreant, but failed to find
him. There was big fight Saturday
night at the merry-go-round. A par
ty of men and women were having a
gay time, and the organ was tunefully
telling of the Banks of the Wabash, y
when one of the gentlemen became
too free in his language in the presence
of the ladies. This aroused righteous
indignation in the husband of one Of
the women, and then the fighting be-
gan. Richard Houpt struck David
Young over the head with club, in
ficting a serious injury that may pos
sibly result fatally, and for a time
stones and other missiles were as thick
in the air as the cuss words. AS re-
suit Of the ARRAY Houpt and Clarence
Snyder and Martin Guessford are in
Jail and Young is lying in serious
condition. Brown finds business pref
ty good at Williamsport, but it is also
pretty lively, and a Calling gun is al
most necessity.

The Death Record.

1t is with much regret that We re-
cord the death of Mr.. Samuel R. Lick
lider, which occurred Tuesday suddenly
at his home in Martinsburg. From
the particulars as we learned them it
appears that Mr.. Licklider had just
finished his supper, and was sitting in
his hall when he suggested to his wife
that they take walk. She went up
stairs to get ready, and, hearing a
heavy fall, returned to the lower room,
where she was shocked to find her
husband lying unconscious upon the
floor. He was carried into the yard,
but in few moments passed away.
He had been in his usual health dur
ing the day, and there was little or no
warning of the attack of heart disease
that carried him off so suddenly. Mr.
Licklider was formerly well-known
resident of Kearneysville, this county,
where he was engaged in the'mercan-
tile business. He was a son of Mr..
Thomas Licklider, and besides large
family connection he had wide cir
Gle of friends who will learn of his
death with much regret. He was a
man of the kindest heart and of gen.
ial manners, and his sudden death in
the prime of life was great shock.
Since he left Kearneysville year or
two ago he has been clerking for W.
Fl. Polling, in Martinsburg. The fu-
neral will be held at his late home
this morning, and the remains are to
be brought to Shepherdstown for in
terment in Elmwood Cemetery. Mr..
Lickider, who was As years of age, is
survived by his wife, who was Miss
Sallie Kearney, of this vicinity, and
two children. They have the sincere
sympathy of our people.
Died at Shenandoah Junction, July
Dist, Mamie Maupin, the only child
of ]. Y. and Blanche Blackford, aged
one year, eight months and twenty-five
days. Funeral services were held in
the Presbyterian church at Shenan-
doah Junction on Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock, conducted by the pastor
interment at Charles Town. Mamie
Maupin was an unusually bright and
attractive child, and by her sweet and
winsome ways drew every one to her.
The deeply bereaved parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of their many
friends.
Mr.. Robert Hoffman, former resi-
dent of Shepherdstown, died few
days ago at his home in Claude, Texas,
aged about 60 years. Mr.. Hoffman
was native of Pennsylvania, but
lived here for a number of years. He
moved west about twenty-five years
ago, and has recently been farming in
Texas. He is survived by his wife,
who is a sister of Mr.. S. P. Humrick-
house, and two daughters and one son.
The deceased was first cousin of R.
S. NJ. Hoffman.
Mrs. Maria Hoge, widow of Hon.
John Blair Hoge, died recently in Pu-
laski, Va, where che was visiting her
sister. Mrs Hoge formerly lived in
Martinsburg, but since the death Of
her husband about five years ago she
has been living in Washington. She
was &c years of age. Her body was
taken to Martinsburg for burial.

For MOrgan'S Grove.

President WysOng and the other Of
Gcers of the Morgan's Grove fair are
arranging for a very entertaining fea-
ture for one day of the fair this year,
probably on Wednesday. They will
have competitive drill between mil
itary companies from Pennsylvania,
Maryland and West Virginia, and in
addition a sham battle in which the
Red Men of Martinsburg will also take
part. This will be an interesting al
fair, as the Red Men have very elabo-
rate costumes ard programme that
will be well worth seeing. Further
particulars will be given later. Other
amusements of various sorts are being
looked after, and the fair this year
promises TO be better than ever.

Telephone Matters.

Telephone Matters.
Manager P. D. Tebault, of the Mary
land Telephone Company, wasin Shep-
herdstown Monday evening on busi-
ness connected with telephone affairs,
and he conveyed the gratifying intel
ligence that there will soon be mate
rial improvements in the telephone ser
vice in this section. He and Super
intendent Hoover, of the Winchester
Telephone Company, which operates
in the Valley of Virginia, are working
together to accomplish this end, and
hope Soon to provide additional facil-
tiles of considerable Importance. The
Maryland Company is extending its
lines north and east rapidly, besides
giving the greatest satisfaction at its
home plant. 1t now reaches Harris
burg, Pa. and to the east has gotten
as far as Sabillasville, Nd, and is soon
to have connection to Frederick.
The Baltimore company with which it
has an alliance is building toward the
Maryland lines, and is now as far as
Westminster. 1t will thus be seen
that in the near future we will have
long distance service from this place,
and so get in touch with Baltimore
and other cities. The Maryland Com
pany has. according to newspaper re-
ports, been taking in number of 9TH
er companies, and there are rumors
of other acquisitions that may or may
not be true. .
