Fame for Miss Butler.
A Philadelphia paper Of recent date

A Philadelphia paper of recent date
says:
Philadelphia theatre-goers have
been specializing on the identity Of an
unusually bright-eyed and vivacious
brunette who has just made her ap-
pearance among the "lady visitors" in
Francis Wilson's company, which is
now playing in the "Toreador" at the
Chestnut Street Theatre. She is Miss
Laura Butler, of Shepherdstown, who
preferred the disappointments and
trials of the footlights. Miss Butler
one day last summer went into the Of
flee of Manager Fred Zimmerman. Jr.,
at the Knickerbocker Theatre, New
York, and demurely asked for place
in the chorus. Her beauty and de-
meanor impressed the young manager,
and he told her to 60 to the musical
manager and have her voice tested.
1t proved to be Of unusual sweetness
and volume, and she was promised the
first opportunity that presented itself
for a suitable part. Although she has
only been with the company short
time, Miss Butler has been made un-
derstudy to Miss Cecil in the role of
Donna Teresa, and she is just waiting
for an opportunity to sing the part.
She is full of ambition and hopes to
make place for herself among the
bright stars in the near future.

Caught a Loon.

Caught Loon.
John Jones made very unusual
capture last Friday, when he caught
a loon on HE outline in the river near
this place. He was running an out
line for fish and cells, when be found
that this very peculiar bird had been
caught BY one of the hooks under its
wing, and was firmly fastened. AT
first he did not know what sort OF a
bird it was, but after hearing its weird
cry and consulting the encyclopedias
those who saw it came to the conclu-
sion that it was a loon. 1t weighs
about ten pounds and measures 4 feet
4 inches from tip to tip of Its wings,
and has very long neck. Mr.. Jones
secured the bird, which was hurt but
little, and still has it in his possession.
The loon is an inhabitant of Arctic
regions, and it is rarely seen in this
section.

Affairs of the Railroads.

Affairs vi luS NdilIUduS.
The surveyors on the B. & 0. cut
off are working from the Cumberland
Valley Railroad toward Shepherds
town this week, going over the route
once more. 1t is said that this is the
final survey, as it will give all the
data necessary to adjust the land dam
ages and locate definitely the road
bed. Itisa also reported that the right
of-way agent will shortly begin his
work in Jefferson county.
Superintendent Theodore Low, Of
the Norfolk division of the Norfolk
and Western Railway, has asked to
be relieved from duty. Superintend-
ent A. G. Needles has been appointed
to succeed him. George P. Johnson,
son of General Manager johnson, who
has been trainmaster in the Scioto
Valley division, has been appointed
superintendent of the Shenandoah
Valley division to succeed Mr. Needles.
A notice was posted IN the n. o.
W. Railway shops at Roanoke Tues
day by General Manager L. E. John
son announcing an increase in wages
from 26 to % and "a to 26 cents an
hour for machinists, 13 to Is cents an
hour for helpers and 10 to II cents an
hour for laborers. This increase was
made voluntarily. A few weeks ago
the wages of trackmen were creased.
Since the Cumberland Valley Rail-
road has acquired that freight business
from the B. & o. the early mail train
is late from half an hour to an hour
nearly every morning. The night
train on the N. & w. from the South
rarely ever gets in on time, because
of delay from it's southern connections.

Killed by a Locomotive.

Last Sunday evening about seven
o'clock helper engine 1898. while back
ing west on the south track, struck a
man about one mile west of Vancleves-
vile, who it is supposed was walking
west on the east-bound track. The
remains were taken to Martinsburg
and prepared for burial. A Norfolk
& Western railroad pass was found on
his person which gave the name of
Clarence Macoboy. The pass reads
from Charles Town to Hagerstown and
return. The body was terribly cut
up and the watch which he carried
was knocked all to pieces, but, strange
to say, the thin crystal which covered
the face under the case was found ly-
ing en- tie without break. Monday
morning S. P. Burkill, of Charles
Town. the newsboy who comes up on
No. 13, identified the remains as those
of Macoboy. The man was about As
years of age and leaves a wife and
child. He was an employe of the
Norfolk and Western Railroad.-Mar-

An Unruly Prisoner.

An UnruIy prisoner.
Sheriff ]. D. Billmyer had lively
tussle Monday night with prisoner
on passenger train No. 4 of the Nor
folk g. Western Railway. Just as he
was about to leave the train at Shop
herdstown he placed under arrest a
young colored man named Bundy,
who was wanted in Charles Town.
Bundy resisted arrest vigorously and
a companion also tried his best to OBJ
struct the sheriff, but F. L. Billmyer
and the train hands took part in the
mix-up and the negro was finally hus-
tied from the train. The sheriff took
him to Charles Town the same night
and put him in Jail. Bundy is want
ed there for an assault upon an officer
several months ago. He was waiter
at the Carter House and got into a
quarrel with some one. When a po-
liceman tried to arrest him he knocked
the officer down and made his escape.
He will have to face the additional
charge of carrying concealed weapons,
for Sheriff Billmyer took from him a
revolver and knife on Monday night.
