Mrs. Amy Morrisini, wife of millionaire
Morrlsini, of Mt. Vernon, N. Y, discov-
cred burglar in her room and at the foo.
of her bed few nights ago. She scream
ed aud her husband came from an adioin-
ing room and grappled the intruder but
could not hold him. The lady is niece
of Messrs. VIM. B. and Geo. w. Packet,
of this vicinity. and is reputed to be one
of the most beautiful women in the Uni
ted States. She is a great-great-grand-
niece OF George Washington. The house
of the Morrisinis contains thousands of
dollars worth of silverware, jewelry and
bric-a-brac, but upon investigation it was
found that none of the valuables was mis-
sing. The police say the burglar must
have been in his stocking feet when he
left the house, as his footprints were
plainly traced in the newly fallen snow
from the house down the street for some
distance.

Shepherdstown corporation matters are
getting quite warm again, At the meet
ing of the town council last week that
body voted charge of impeachment
against Mayor Harrison and to suspend
him from Office. Recorder Billmyer then
undertook to preside, and Mr.. Harrison in
turn preferred charges against him, which
were at once tabled. Mayor Harrison
has retained counsel to represent him.
and he has advised that he Is still mayor
of the town. Has Shepherdstown two
mayors, or has it none at all 7-that's the
burning question. Those who hold or
make payment on town orders may find
it advisable to q look leede OUT as to
whose name is appended thereto and how
valid they may be.

Of last week was duly carried out on
Friday. The members Of the Grand
Army of the Republic, together with
the veterans of the Spanish war, who
were the guests Of honor, were in al.
tendance. The rain was pouring down,
but the opera house was crowded with
people who had assembled from the
country far and neat. The stage was
decorated with great taste. The speech
by Mr.. Grantham was good. The rendi
ton by that bright young lady. Miss
Anua Kimble, was excellent. The sing
ing by the Custer Quartette was excep'
tionally fine, while the Grafton by Mr.
C..L. Wood was grand beyond anything
which we haye eyer listened to upon an
occasion OF the kind. We would fain
extend our remarks and speak of some
