1--we Will Find the WAY.

Miss Anna G. Slonaker, Ganotown,
Berkeley county, and Mr.. Elston NJ.
Luttrell, of Martinsburg, were mar
ried last Sunday afternoon at St.
Paul's United Brethren parsonage in
Hagerstown by Rev. A. B. Station.
Miss Slonaker was on a visit to her
sister, Mrs. Otelia Barney, FIVE miles
fromMartinsburg. Late Saturday night
Mr.. Luttrell, by appointment, called
for her. Borrowing dress from her
sister, but not informing her Of her
intention to elope, she walked with
her intended husband to Martinsburg,
which they reached at 8 o'clock Sun
day morning. Hiring team, they
drove to the Potomac river, ferried
across to Williamsport, rode into Ha-
gerstown by trolley, induced Mr.. Geo.
B. Oswald, clerk of the court, who
was in Sunday School, to leave his
class and issue license, proceeded to
the parsonage and were married.
MISS Slonaker, who is very pretty,
informed friend that she had been
engaged to another man, whom she
was soon to marry, but recently che
saw Mr.. Luttrell and loved him better.

improvements at the POstoftIce.

The Shepherdstown pOstoffice, Har-
ry Z. Mundey postmaster, il now, we
feel safe in asserting, one Of the best
equipped establishments of its size in
this part of the country. The i'm
provement. that have been in pro-
gress for some months are now COM
pleted, and we have a model post
Office. The room it occupies is in
Mr.. Mundey's building on Main street.
A handsome plate glass front gives
the necessary light. A prettily de-
signed steel ceiling, and side walls of
the same reaching to the wainscoting,
add to the beauty Of the room. This
week the new furniture was installed.
This is Of oak, and gives an up-to-
date equipment as handsome as it is
useful and convenient. There are
200 call boxes and 100 lock boxes
and drawers Of different sizes. One
window for general delivery, another
for box delivery, with the money
order and registered letter division
in a department to itself, does away
with much annoyance and confusion
in the handling of the mails and other
business. A wall-desk gives accommo-
dation in the outer room to those who
need it, and a very handy mailing
table lightens the work inside. The
equipment has all the modern in.
provements, and is a credit to Post
master Mundey and to our community.
The town has reason to be proud Of
our postofice.

Heavy Rains and High Waters.

The rainy spell that had prevailed
in this section for a week or more Gull
minated last Sunday in a steady down
pour, which, while only moderate in
this immediate neighborhood, amount
ed to almost a cloudburst in other Sec
tons of this and adjoining States. At
Winchester there was fearful flood,
four inches of water falling in a few
hours. Little streams became tor
rents and caused great damage by
flooding houses, carrying away bridges
and sweeping wheat from the fields IN
which it had been stacked. The Val
ley Branch of the B. & o. Railroad
was tied up by extensive wsshouts,
and large party Of e1cursionists from
Baltimore and Washington were
stranded in Winchester. Some Of
them were sent home by way Of the
Cumberland Valley Railroad. The
Opequon creek was soon out Of bank,
and travel between this place and
Martinsburg was entirely cut off. The
lowlands were flooded and great dam
age was done to growing crops, whole
fields of wheat being ruined in some
cases. 1t is said that a number of cat
tie were also drowned by the rapidly
rising waters. There was a heavy
rain at Cumberland, also, and the Po-
tomac river was up considerably. No
serious damage was done by it, though
lowlands were submerged and crops
damaged.
Great damage was done to the old
line of the B. & 0. Railroad between
Washington Junction and Relay.
About 600 feet of track was washed
away at the east end of Mt. Airy tun-
mel.
At Cedarville, Warren county, Va
two ladies and two gentlemen tried to
ford Crooked run in a carriage. The
vehicle was swept down the stream
and the occupants had to spend all
night on foodqate that overhung the
stream. Near Lexington, Va, Miss
Nina Moore was drowned in a small
stream that rose so rapidly and 80 high
that her buggy was overturned as she
was crossing.

W. N. Lemen's New Elevator.

w. N. Lemons new grain elevator
and warehouse, erected at the foot OF
New street in Shepherdstown to take
the place of the structure destroyed
by fire last fall, has been completed
md is now in full operation. The
new elevator ia 30x52 feet in size, and
from the foundation to the top is 55
feet high. Itcontains ten large storage
bins and has two smaller ones, the
aggregate capacity of which is 5000
bushels of grain. 1t has almost double
the floor space of the old building and
is one of greater capacity in every re-
spect. It's fitted up with the most i'm
proved machinery and is up-to-date in
all its appointments. Among the i'm
provements is machinery for making
corn meal, cracking corn, chopping feed,
etc, and Mr.. Lemen will make this
special feature of his business. The
separator is of the "Invincible" pat
tern, probably the best that is made,
while the corn shelter is complete
machine that does its work swiftly
and satisfactorily. A wagon dump
provides for the speedily unloading of
grain, SO as to prevent vs1atious de-
lays, as sometimes happen in busy
times, by the old methods. A %
horsepower Fairbanks gasoline engine
furnishes the motive power, and it
works like charm, everything run
ming smoothly and quietly. The gaso-
line is stored in a separate building,
doing away with the danger from fire.
Railroad tracks alongside the eleva-
tor provide ample shipping facilities.
Mr.. Lemeas Office is conveniently
situated in small building near the
elevator.
The whole plant is now in active
operation, and the capacity is suth-
cient to enable the proprietor to take
care of all the business that may be
offered. He invites his friends and
customers to inspect the new outfit.
He has a full line of goods such as
is usually handled in his business,
and he asks continuance of the pub
lie patronage that has been so liberal
ly given him in the past.

The Shepherd College Appointments.

The REGISTER last week published
the new appointments for Shepherd
College State Normal School, which
are as follows Principal, John D.
Knutti first assistant, John D. Null
doom teachers, Miss Anna B. Wool
cry, Miss Elizabeth NJ. Stalnaker,
Mrs. Mabel Henshaw Gardner, Miss
Blanche Corbin and B. F. Williamson.
Mr.. Knutti, the new principal,
taught in the school the past year,
and was one of the most popular men
who has ever been connected with the
college. His appointment is very
satisfactory one to the school officers
and to the people of the community
generally. The students had a petit
ton before the Board asking for his
appointment. Mr.. Knutti is grad
uate of the West Virginia University
and of Leland Stanford University,
and is well equipped for the place.
Concerning the present situation,
we feel sure that he is the right man
in the right place. There are three
new teachers in the faculty for the
ensuing year-Mrs. Mabel Henshaw
Gardner, for some years one of the
most efficient teachers in the Fair
mont Normal School B. +. William
son, of Lewis county, graduate OF
the West Virginia Conference Semi
nary at Buckhannon, this State, aud
of Allegheny College, of Pennsyl-
vania; Miss Blanche Corbin, OF Fair
mont, graduate of the West Vir-
GINA University. The faculty will
be considerably stronger than it was
last year, and it is hoped that more
effective work may be done than ever
before. The appointment of music
teacher and elocution teacher will be
made later. Miss Mary McConn,
who has taught here for several years,
was transferred to Fairmont. The
same executive committee was reap
pointed, namely, Geo. NJ. Beltzhoover,
]. S. Fleming and ]. Frank Turner.
The Board made a number of
changes in the faculties of the Nor
NAL Schools. Frank S. Trotter was
appointed principal of the Fairmont
school. Miss Harriet D. Johnson was
reappointed to Marshall College and
Miss Hosie was returned to Glenville.

Another Chapter in the Scandal Case.

We are sorry to have to print an
other chapter in the unfortunate cpl
sods that has recently been suOh an
unsavory topic of conversation in this
place, and we only do this in order
that the truth may be known and
that the public may not be misled by
sensational falsehoods circulated and
printed concerning the affair.
Shortly after DR.. Reynolds had in
stituted suit against E. F. Goodwin
for making certain scandalous charges
now too well-known to refer to, sew
eral detectives, black and white, came
here and were very busy for some
days. They paid particular attention
to the colored population and nosed
around among the negroes to con-
siderable extent. 1t was soon whis-
pered around that the detectives had
made very damaging discoveries, and
that they would be able to present ev-
idence that would confirm Goodwin
scandalous assertions and a great deal
more. 1t was alleged that they had
found the man who had been seen to
dig in garden at night and who had
taken the remains of a child, which
he had previously buried, and carried
them to the river and disposed of
them. The chain of evidence was to
be completed by the discoveries of the
detectives, who, it is supposed, were
employed by or in the interest of
Goodwin.
A few days later colored man of
this place, by the name of Bealey
Watson, was arrested in Carlisle by
one of the detectives, on the charge of
opening grave and clandestinely re-
moving the body Of child. Sheriff
Billmyer swore out the warrant Wat
son was taken to jail at Charles Town
and kept there until last Monday, when
he was given a hearing before Magis-
trate Charles E. Baylor. About a
dozen colored persons from Shepherds.
town were present as witnesses, and
the testimony of several Of them was
taken, as was also that of Sheriff Bill
myer. The fact was brought out that
Watson had dug a pit in garden ad-
Joining the premises occupied by
Goodwin, and possibly that person had
seen him and taken it as proof Of an
awful crime. The disgusting fact was,
however, as shown by the evidence,
that pit was dug IN which to de-
post the contents of vault that the
colored man had been employed to
clean. There was no evidence to con-
meet Watson or anyone else with
crime, and We can only leave our
reader. to form their own opinion OF
the mind that would seek such filth to
bolster up an unfounded and hideous
accusation. We are informed by those
who were present at the hearing that
it was complete fzzle so far as pro-
ducing proof to substantiate any OF
the charges. The detectives who as
sisted in working up the case were
not present, and in order that they
might be heard, if they can be gotten
to appear, Justice Baylor continued
the hearing until next Monday Wat
son was released Oh 500 bail, his
father-in-law, Vince Dorsey, going his
security.

Commander Robert E. Peary says
that he is ready to make another ef-
fort to reach the North Pole if some
one will furnish the necessary funds.
He says he believes the pole can be
reached. We believe Peary can get

Grand Opera House.

Antonio Maiori, the distinguished Italian tragedian. who created such a furor among the "400' of New York re- gently. held the boards at the Grand opera house last night and gave one of the most finished and acceptable pre- sentations of Shakespeare's Hamlet which has ever been witnessed in this city. MT. Maiori was to have appeared at the Hyperion, but by reason of that play house being in use by the May fes- tival he appeared at the Grand and there was a very large and cultured au- dience in attendance.
 The piece was rendered wholly in Ital- ian, but the very effective and dramatic scenes of this famous play were given such an intelligent rendition by MT. Maiori and his exceedingly capable company that all readily understood and gave expression of their apprecia- tion of the work done by enthusiastic encores. The same splendid company will be seen at the Grand again this afternoon and tonight when "Othello'' will be presented and there should be very large attendance of all lovers of the dramatic art when presented by an artist os ability.
 The famous RentZ-Santley company will be at the Grand opera house Thurs day, Friday and Saturday this week, with matinee Saturday. The company is stronger and better equipped than ever, and in the matter of scenery and costumes it is unsurpassed in the bur- lescue aeld. The new burlesQues "A Trip to the Coronation" and *He Hooks in Here,'' laugflab ble satire on David Warfeld's great success "The Auction- eer,'' have been especially written for the company, and both are full of come dy and excellent specialties. Among the musical numbers by members of the chorus are "The Bachelor Belless.' ''Fhe Bal Masoue'' and Blooming Lize,' one of the greatest song hits of the season. Each of these numbers will be beautifully costumed and given with charming light and effects. The olio will present such clever entertainers as the Lynotte sisters, Charles Robinson, eccentric character comedian: Lottie Elliott. Nina Bertholini. James and Sadie Leonard, comedy sketch artists; John Lyons, grotesoue comedy juggler; William McRobie. Richard Wild and Japan's most marvellous gymnasts, the Yamamoto brothers
