Destruction by Fire.

The house at Winebrenner's Cross
Roads, Berkeley county, belonging to
Mrs. Susan Winebrenner and occu-
pied by Mr.. David Hudgel, caught
fire last Saturday afternoon and was
burned to the ground. A part Of the
furniture was saved. This fire has
disclosed queer state Of affairs. Mrs.
Winebrenner, the owner of the build
ing, had had the barn adjoining the
house insured only last week. AT
that time the agents urged her to take
out a policy on the house, but she
said the barn was enough, and conse-
quently the house is total loss TO her.
Mr.. Hudgel was in Martinsburg at
the time of the FIRE. He had policy
Of 500 on his furniture, but it was
taken out before he moved into the
Winebrenner property. He was car
rying the policy around in his pocket,
intending to have it transferred, but
he neglected it until too late. Sale
notes and other valuable papers, which
Mr. Hudgel intended taking to Mar
tinsburg that day for safe keeping,
were destroyed in the fire. When
Mr.. Hudgel received word that his
house was on fire, he fastened to the
scene, but only to find his home in
ashes 1t is supposed the fire started
on the roof from sparks from the
chimney.
The barn or the Dennis NJ. Daniels
farm, recently purchased by the
Bakers, at Bakerton, this county, was
destroyed by fire last Saturday. The
origin of the fire is unknown. When
it was discovered it had made such
Roadway that nothing could be saved
except the horses and one of them was
singed considerably,

Soldiers Bones EXhumed.

Yesterday while party of men
under Superintendent II. c. Burgan
were working along the Chesapeake &
Ohio canal opposite Shepherdstown
the remains of two soldiers were IN
earthed. The skulls and bones were
fairly we'll preserved, and piece Of
she'll imbedded in one of the bodies
showed how they had met their death.
One of the men was probably an off.
Ger, as bits of gold braid were found
with the bones. They were Confeder-
ates, the buttons found with the bones
showing them to have been from
Georgia. Mr.. Burgap had the bones
placed in a box, and later ]. W. B.
Frazier, representing the local camp
of Confederate Veterans, had them
buried in the soldiers lot in Elmwood
Cemetery. 1t is believed that the re-
mains may be identified by an inves-
tigation that is now being made. 1t is
thought they were buried soon after
the battle of Antietam, in 1662-al-
most forty years ago.

Known In Shepherdstown

About four years ago Mrs. R. E.
Peary, wife of Lieutenant Peary, the
famous Arctic explorer, with her little
daughter Anighito, spent the summer
here at "Wingsrd Cottage" the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. T. Il. Davis. They
made number of friends while here
and are remembered by many persons.
The following news comes from Wash
ington concerning Mrs. Peary and her
little daughter:
Little Marie Anighito, Lieutenant R.
E. Peary's daughter, the famous snow
baby" about whom a book has been
written, will 60 far into the Arctic cir
Gle to the relief Of her father.
With Mrs. Peary, Marie Anighito,
who is now eight years old, will accom-
pany the relief expedition that will set
sail in June in the expectation Of well
coming the returning explorer, who
NAV bring to the world the long-waited
news that the North Pole has at last
been reached, and by an American.
For a year or more the little girls
hands have been busy making presents
for her small Eskimo friends and for
Anighito, the Arctic woman who cared
for her when she was born and whose
name she bears in loving token The
''snow baby" is very fond of drawing
and painting and many are the pictures
she has prepared to delight the hearts
of the simple folks in the far North
She speaks Eskimo like native
probably the only child in the United
States who boasts this accomplishment
and is the only white child born in
the Arctic circle. She is sturdy little
girl, fond of the open air and exercises,
and in addtiod is a good student, speak
ing three languages fuently.
