Home From the Philippines.

Messrs. Will and John Sisler and
Guy Helferstay, three Shepherdstown
boys who have been in the United
States Army in the Philippine Islands
for over two years, are home again,
and to say that they are glad to have
their feet on their native soil once
more is putting it mildly. They en-
listed in the the army about three
years ago, and it was not long until
they were sent 60 the Philippines
Will and Guy were in Company NJ,
Nineteenth Infantry, and John was
musician Of Company L, same regi-
ment. They were stationed pearly all
of their time on Cebu Island and Isle
de Bohol, some seven hundred miles
from Manila. The boys were in a
great many skirmishes, but VIII was
the only one to be wounded-he got
shot in the arm during fight with
the natives. They were remarkably
free from sickness, Guy being the only
one who was sick while they were
soldering. After serving in the
islands for two years and three months,
the anxiously waited for time for their
discharge came, and the latter part of
May with thankful hearts they set
their faces homeward. The Sisler
boys came on the transport Sherman,
and Helferstay on the Fitzpatrick.
They set sail from Manila, and stopped
two days at Nagasaki, Japan, thence
on to San Francisco. The voyage
took SO days, including the time spent
in quarantine. From San Francisco
the boys struck for Shepherdstown,
and were as glad to be home as their
family and friends were to see them.
They have had their fill of soldering
and all they want Of the Philippines.
and with one accord say they will
never enlist in the army again. They
are all in good health and brOnzed and
hearty in appearance.

Pertaining to That Porch.

Mr.. EDITOR Many years ago DR.. An
drews, of hallowed and happy memory,
remarked that he took pride in having
made such change and improvement in
one spot-the old corner where had
stood bowling alley and dram-shop,
atfording every Saturday evening dis
orderly revel and riot-nOw transformed
into temple Of religion with its beau
tiful enclosing yard of trees and grass,
and the ribaJd songs were now changed
into the sacred hymns of the church.
The same pride for improvement may
be assumed by our towLsman, Mr..
Beethoven, in his transformation OF
the old, dilapidated loafing corner into
his handsome residence, and without
any disrespect for the quaint old char
acters who were wont 10 hold forth
there. They. indeed, were loved by all
Of US, and would have been dear 10 the
heart OF Dickens and his readers. Yet
surely the present appearance is more
nspiring-suggestiv Of industry, thrift
and progress. and moreover there is ev-
identity less obstruction and a pleasanter
pathway for passers-by than formerly.
So, instead of being prosecuted about
the insignificant protruSion OF that CO.
lonial porch, he should rather receive
the general thanks of the community
for the improvement he has made.

and taken to Hedgesville for burial.

Bill Beaner in Trouble Again.

The Martinsburg World of yester-
day says:
Two strange negroes from Virginia
struck town last night and landed IN
the clutches of two noted characters,
Cal White and William Beaner, who,
after getting them to purchase keg
of beer, escorted them to the house Of
Carrie Newman, on Boyd street. The
two strangers say that after helping to
dispose Of the key of beer they fell
asleep. When one Of them, c. IL.
White, of Fredericksburg, Va, awoke
about midnight and looked for his
watch, he found it missing. All in
the house, of course, were innocent.
The two strangers left the house i'm
mediately and this morning had JUS
tice Snyder issue warrants for White
and Beaner The watch is valued at
$22. Beaner was arrested by Con-
stable Fulk, but before that officer got
a chance at White he was arrested by
Constable Riordon on another charge
that of stealing a jug of whlskey
from farmers carriage while it was
standing in front of Berry's saloon.
He will have to answer both charges,
one before Justice Snyder and one be-
fore Justice Harrison.

Agent Hartzen Resigns.

Benjamin Hartzell, who has been
local agent at Shepberdstown for the
Norfolk & Western Railway for al
most twenty years, has resigned his
position with the company and quit
the business. The fact that he held
the position SO long is evidence of his
faithfulness to his employers, and he
has been regarded as one Of the most
careful and competent men in the SER
vice. Mr.. Hartzell resigned his place
to give his entire attention to his
gardening operations. The fine sys,
TEN of gardens that he has established
has become SO important business
and the output of vegetables SO large
that he has determined to give his
entire attention to it and to his apiary
He may still further enlarge along
other lines of the same business. He
has built up fine trade in his pro-
ducts at other places, and he hopes tc
work up the local patronage now.

Our New Railroad.
Shepherdstown to Get the 3. O--Work DR.
dered and Right of Way Being Bought.

It is with a good deal Of pleasure
that we are able to announce on good
authority that the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad will certainly be built through
Shepherdstown. The work has been
ordered and the right of way is now
being purchased. The letting Of the
contract will follow in short time.
Our readers are familiar with the
history of this movement up to this
time. Last year the B. & 0. caused a
survey to be made of route from
Cherry Run to Harper's Ferry by way
of Shepherdstown, the object being to
secure low-grade line that would do
away with the heavy grades of the old
route at North Mountain and between
Martinsburg and Harper's Ferry. The
survey was followed by the incorpora-
tion of the Cherry Run and Potomac
Valley Railroad Company, organized
for legal reasons to construct the road.
The length of the line is about 30
miles, little more than the present
route. A few months ago the con-
tract was awarded for the first section,
between Cherry Run and Wilson's,
two miles west Of Martinsburg, and
work is now being pushed on it.
Last week orders were given for the
construction of the line between Will
sons and Harper's Ferry, that part Of
the road which touches Shepherds
town. All the surveys have been COM
pleted and the contract will be award
ed in very short time. 1t is de-
sired to finish the road as far as a con-
nection with the Cumberland Valley
Railroad, near Bedington, as quickly
as possible. The B. & 0. has been
delivering hundreds of carloads Of
freight daily to the Western Maryland
Railroad at Cherry Run, which is car
ried to points on the Reading system
chiefly. Now that the Western Mary
land has been bought by the Wabash
interests, which are antagonistic to
the Pennsylvania and B. & o., this in
terchange of business is no longer
agreeable, and it is desired to deliver
the freights to the Cumberland Valley
Railroad. An important connection
with the G. V. will be made and large
freight yards established near Beding-
ton. The work will be pushed on to
Shepherdstown and Harper's Ferry as
soon as this connection is established.
Col. J. A. Hunter, of the engineer
ing department of the B. & o., has
charge of the right Of way feature Of
the work, and is now buying the nee
essary land for the new road. The
new line goes through some of Berke-
ley county's best lands, and will cut
up some Of the finest farms in Jefer-
son county. The railroad, through
Col. Hunter, is acting fairly towards
the landowners and is disposed to
award liberal damages. In most of
the cases that have been settled so far
the farmers have been very well sat
isfed with the amounts allowed the m.
Col. Hunter will probably reach The
Jefferson county line some time next
week.

The construction of the new road
will mean much to Shepherdstown.
This place will have an advantage IN
railway facilities that few towns in
this section can boast Oft will be
on two leading systems, giving abso-
lutely direct routes north, south, east
and west the length and breadth Of
the country. 1t will probably become
an important junction Of the Norfolk
g. Western and B. & o., both for pass
enger and freight traffic. Our Mar
tinsburg friends fondly hope and
strenuously assert that the new line is
for freight trains only, and that the
passenger trains will continue to run
by the old line through that city. We
hope that Martinsburg may have all
the passenger trains necessary for the
convenience of her people, but we
have no doubt that many Of the fast
est and best trains will use the new
road. A route that is satisfactory for
the speedy and economical handling
of freight trains will be even more so
for passenger trains, and in these days,
when every effort is being made to
save a minute here and there, no op-
portunity will be lost to gain a few
moments. We shall expect plenty Of
passenger trains on our new road.

While we will all rejoice in the ad-
vantages of another railroad for Shep-
herdstown, there will be some things
that will not be so agreeable to the
conservative people Of our respectable
old town. The construction of the
road will probably take couple Of
years, and horde Of foreigners-Ital-
ians and negroes of the lower sort
will be in possession of the country
during that time, They will be very
apt to sadly disturb the quiet and
good order of our community. There
are those of our people who like the
old town just asit is, and they wouldn't
give a cent for another railroad when
they reflect that 1t will bring a good
many discordant elements with it.
And they are more than half right.

The Retail Dealers Prot tive sAssocia-

opposition to the bill now pending in the
Legislature concerning the licensing Of
peddlers in the city.
This matter will come. up this morning
before the Finance Committee of the
House. In view of this a meeting Of the
association was held last night at New
Market Hall, on Sixth and Marshall
Streets, to discuss ways and means of
fighting the measure, which is consid-

every phase. A committee from the as
ISOLATION, headed by Mr.. J. F. F1ourney,
clerk of the Second Market, Will appear
before the House Committee to-day, pre-
senting the associations side of the case.
The bill which has aroused the dealers
is promoted by local Jobbers. who. ac-
cording to the statement OF the case by
Z retail dealer, wish the present law on
i this subject changed so as to enable
them to dispose Of such produce as they
may have on hand through carts and
peddlers on the streets. For each cart
or peddler the proposed bill will impose
a license Of S.. The bill, as it stands
now, allows only those persons raising
the products to sell them on the streets,
while the pending bill will enable the mid
