CASE OF SMALLPOX
PATIENT FOUND AND CASE IsOLA-
TED AT CHARLES TOWN
Returning soldier starts the Dread Dis
ease and He Has Heen Quarantined
by the Authorities

SMALLPOX has broken out again in
Charles Town and it is likely, as a
precautl )narv measure against its
spread. the strictest quarantine will
be observed TO prevent repitition of
the occurrences of two wears ago when
the town was isolated from the rest
of the world ON account of the whole
sale prevalence of the disease.
AT present. there is only one case
of smallpox In the town but it Is fear
ed that many others have become In
fected by contact with the victim who
is John Lucas. a white man about 81
years of age. Lucas returned from
the army about a week ago md was
then i'll. PHYSICIANS were called III
and pronounced the man to be suffer
ing with smallpox in a pronounced
form. He was Immediately isolated
In the house of Mr.. Burnett and all
the inmates were quarantined. A
hospital was rapidly construed TO re-
celve the patient on the boom and
the scene of the former pest camp
In the meantime, all suspects are be-
ing watched and every one who has
been subjected to contaglon will be
isolated until the time for infection
has been safely passed. All phvsici-
ans are on the look out for the disease
and with the experience gained from
the former epidemics, it is believed
the disease can be checked IN its IN
cipiencY.

secoud year, will be presented at the
Central Opera House, Tuesday March

produced since that dramatic ever
green first saw the light Of day sixteen
yearssaao. soar New Minister is a
distinct novelty aud one that will
doubtless bold the stage for long
time to come Mr.. Thompson found
the subject an easy one TO write upon.
aud the chief difficulty lay in fitting
it TO the public mind, which is as
changea BILE as a thermometer and very
bad to- please. The scene is laid in
small country town known as Hard

drawings are from life. 1t will be

The revised specifications for the
improvements TO the Government

ceIved by Postmaster Clohan. the
custodian of the building. The plans,
as revised, provide for the painting
of the radiators and pipes 10 the build
ing, which specification was overlook
ed in the first set of Specifications 1t
was hoped that the wiring of the
building would be included in the
specifications, but the officials con-
Guided that the expense and time re-
quired to cut up the walls of the
building in order TO properly wire it
would be too great for the benefits to
be derived.
This does not prevent the use OF
electric stamp ing machines, however
AS soon as dav current is provided
one of the machines will be placed
In use.
The bids for the improvements will
be opened in this city March IL.

THE SECOND FIRE
wITHIN TWO WEEKS IN BUILDING
OCCUPIED BY G. II REYNOLDS
Mysterious Fire tn .sThe Leader" store
at an early Hour "wednesday Morn
ing--Robbery and Incendiartsrn,
says MIR. Reynolds.

For the second time within two
weeks fire broke out Wednesday in
the three story brick building on n.
Queen street occupied. by @. IL. Rey-
nolds. This time the blaze was in
the store room on the first floor,
known as 1.-THE Leader" store.
The blaze started Wednesday be
tween threeand half past three O'Clock
About that time one of the members
of the family gave an alarm and the
fire bell was at once sounded. Fire.
men were soon on the scene with
she fire fighting apparatus and by
their timely efforts serious damage
by fire was prevented.
When the bremen reached the
scene they burst open the front door
and turned water on the fire, which
was soon extinguished. The smoke
was so thick that it was Impossible
for the firemen to get into the room
for sometime after they arrived on
the scene. After the doors had been
open a short time and some of the
smoke had rolled out, they succeed
ed. by crawling on the floor, and u.s.
ing the smoke helmets. in reaching
the place where the fire had original
ed. The only light they had was
torch light. they not having been
able to turn on the electric lights.
the blaze was confined chiefly to
the shelves and portion of the room
where there was hardly ANYTHING in
flamable.
Mr. Reynolds says the place was
set on fire by burglars, who ha q
been In the store ndransacked it. He
says when he first came down stairs
after the fire had started he fou nd
that the back door had been bro
ken open. All of the most valuable
jewelry. he SAYS, had been stolen ont
of the store.
The total amount of insurance on
the stock is 50, 400. The loss is plac-
ed at $500. The greatest damage was
done by water. The insurance on
the building is $4,000.

CREATING AN IMPRESSION
GIANT LIKE NEWTON THATCHER
ATTRACTS ATTENTION.
A Washington Newspaper Man De
scribes some the Peculiar Facts
Connection with the Giant
Berkeley County Far

Mr.. J. Newton Thatcher, who is
in Washington. is attracting more
interest by reason Of his mighty stat
ne, than the ordinary man who visits
the national capital. The Washington
Evening Times says of him:
Captain Isaac B. Thatcher, Of the
certificate division Of the Pension
Office. has a visitor at his home in
the person of Mr.. j. Newton Thatch-
er. who attracts more than ordinary
attention as he passes along the
streets.
A veritable giant is Mr.. Thatcher
exceeding in size many of the so call
ed prodigies that have exhibited
throughout the country during the
last twenty years. He is trlfie I'M
der seven feet in height, weighs 275
pounds and SO we'll proportloned that
itgis hard to realize his great size un-
til compared with a person of aver
agesstature, then the contrast is start
ling. Mr.. Thatcher wears num-
Der eight and half hat, number
fourteen shoe. and his hands are
twice the size OF those OF an ordinary
man. He is a native of West Virgin
Ia and the owner of the famous Moth
Mountain fruit farm near Martinsburg
located on what is known as Apple
Pie Ridge. This farm has been IN
the uninterrupted possession of the
Thatcher family for 200 wears, and the
aDples grown there are in demand
throughout the East During the civ
IL war Mr.. Thatcher then lad. serv-
ed as teamster in the Union army
operating in the Shenandoah Valley,
and many are the feats OF prodigious
strength recorded by his comrades.
Often wagon heavily loaded would
m ire to the hnb in the badly cut up
roads, when young Thatcher coming
to the rescue, would put his hands to
a wheel and bodily lift the whole out
tit from the mud as easily as if it had
been a toy.
