Worsted company susrains a loss OF $500
with $500 insurance.
The damage done To Mr.. Fagan's furni-
ture is about Se0O-covered by insurance
for about 500 and Mr.. Reiliy's loss will
be s6OO--with very little insurance.
1t was Mr.. Fagan, who discovered the
fire and he gave the alarm In ten min
utes great crowd had gathered which
hampered the movements of the firemen.
IT was with great difficulty that the fire
was confined to the one house, and 1t was
only by forming bucket brigade that
this was accomplished. The cause of the
fire is unknown

Brown faces Harvard today and for the
1rst time this season she goes into a game
feeling confident Of making some sort OF
showing MANY Of the supporters Of the
team are so~conndent as 10 feel that the
score OF last years game may he dupli-
Gated, and "a emphs sizing this belief they
will journey to Cambridge for the purpose
OF seeing the contest
One 81 the greatest sources of this en-
couraeement lies In he fact that for the
first time this season Captain Archie

this another source Of added strength lies
In Higgins who will also play on the team
for the first time this year. With the
addition Of these two men and the players
tnst have already shown remarkable
qualities the team cannot he far below
that Of last season and ought 10 make
almost as good showing.
The coaches are springng something

work al quarter has been so consistently
brilliant that he would seem 10 be the
man for the place. His defensive play is
accurate. rs was clearly evidenced I'm the
Princeton game when he repeatedly
broke up heavy interference and downed
hls big opponent. scudder has had
more experience In running the team. yet
Schwartz seems 10 be more than his
equal. The other backs. Walsh and Cur
tis, have not had great experience on
Varsity teams. Both are fast. however.
Walsh is fast on his feet and especially
strong in team playing. Curtis is also a
clever back.
The strength OF the Harvard team will
depend greatly on the absence OF pres
ence of Carl Marshall at quarter. The
weak feature OF Harvard's play this year
has been the fumbling. and with Captain
Marshall in the game this should be TO
a great extent eliminated. II Is remem-
hered. too. that Harvard has improved
recently and that In the West Point game
the Crimson showed up strongly. II Is
also significant that even I'm the Amherst
game Harvard outplayed her opponents
from start TO finish. though losing the
game Consequently there is the possi-
bility OF wonderful Improvement should

EntIer Hotel Changes Hands.

Next Wednesday, the Ist of April, Ia
cob 5. Myers will take charge of the En-
tier Hotel in Shepherdstown, which has
been conducted for the past eight wears
by d. l.. Rentch. Mr.. Myers will make
an suspicious beginning. Every piece of
furniture in the hotel will be entirely new
and OF first-class quality-new kitchen
equipment, new dining-room furniture,
stylish new iron bedsteads in every room
with most comfortable bedding. and so
on through the whole house. The double
parlors will also be handsomely return
ished. Changes will be made in the Of
fee. also, looking to the convenience and
comfortof the guests, and the corner room
formerly used as store will be fitted ND
as sample room and writing room.
The hotel will he repapered and repaint-
ed where necessary and put in good or
der twill be better equipped, probably,
than it has ever been before. Mr.. Myers
will also have irst-class livery in con-
nection with the hotel. He has some
very good horses, and has a complete
equipment of vehicles made by the relia-
bic firm of Thrush & Slough, new har-
ness, &c. Mr.. Myers, we are sure, will
run the famous old Entler Hotel in the
very best manner, and we predict it will
become one ofthe most popular hcstelries
IN the State. He announces that he will
leave nothing rndone for the comfort and
accommodation of his guests.-Register.

Wabash to Come to Harpers Ferry

The Washington Times of Tuesday as
serts that the entrance of the Wabash
Railroad into Washington City is now
certainty. Movements indicate that the
proposed Old Dominion and Great Falls
Electric Line is to be part ct the line,
and the Times says
This is taken to prove that the Wabash
will enter Washington from the Virginia
side, and the route from the nam line.
running from Cherry run to Baltimore.
will be intersected at or Neutrality-suspicious.,
Nd. In that event it is thought the Wa
bash will build its line from Hagerstown.
or~near there, to Harpers Ferry, and
then run along the south side of the Po-
tomac river to Great Falls, where the
right of way acquired by the Old Domin-
ion and Great Falls line will be utilized
to reach Washington.
The Aqueduct bridge is not to be used
by the Wabash in entering Washington.
according to this story, but another
bridge across the river is to be construct
ed. and an entrance effected to the union
station by that route.
The route as now indicated by the
Wabash is thought to to be the most adj
vantageous that could be built. There
would be little grading to do. and by COM
ing to Harpers Ferry big tunnel project
would be avoided. If the line were
changed to follow another course from
Hagerstown there would of necessity be
a detour to avoid the Allegheny spur
which would carry the road far INTO
Pennsylvania, as the Western MARYLAND
is now operated. The water gap at Har-
pers Ferry affords natural outlet.
BY using the south side of the Potomac
tie Wabash will parallel the Baltimore
aud Ohio, traverse a section of Virginia
not now reached by any railroad, and a
direct line to Washington would be OBJ
tanned. BY approaching Washington
from the south, the extension to Newport
News would be made possible at much
less expense than by any other route
The need for increased tidewater faclli-
ties is made the more manifest by the
purchases of the Gould interests in the
Far West. A portion OF The Oregon
Short Line, just sold through the Harri-
man-Clark deal, gives the Wabash con-
tinental line and makes the tidewater
facilities III Baltimore evidently mad
equate.

Lee and Arnold Contrasted.

| A movement has been started to defend
the memory of Benedict Arnold from the
charges that have rendered his name
odious to the American people.
In the controversy that has ensued as a
consequence, many are disposed to be
| tolerant, but when it comes to whitewash-
| ing the character of Benedict Arnold, who
plotted against his country. as is being
done IN some parts of the country. and of
saying. as some have averred. that he has
the same rights to monument as Gen.
Robert E. Lee. 1t becomes too rank, and
protests have followed from the pens of
able papers, among them being the Bos-
ton Globe, which argues as follows.
- 1t is true that Lee was a rebel, as
were Washington. Jefferson. Hancock
and others who fought against established
authority. But Arnold was rebel with
out conscience, for he sold his country
to its enemies for $50. COO.
Lee was one of the grandest of char
acters and had served his country in
Mexico. Arnold attacked his country
with unsurpassed cruelty at New London
even after he had betrayed 1t.
This great country can afford to be
magnanlmous to the erring, but Benedict
Arnold IS too much. His apologists say
that he married Tory woman and that
she tempted him. This very thin excuse
for treason reminds one of the historical
saying, She gave me of the tree and
did eat"
Considering the source, away down in
staid New England. this is very good, and
is quite encouraging. They are becom-
ing part of the new and greater North
that is emerging from the narrow preiu-
dices which are rooted in passion and
hate of war, A new tendency toward
unmpassioned and sane consideration of
the struggle of 81 is becoming more mar
ked every year, and that truth is more
prominent in the border states like West
Virginia. than in any others.-W Wheeling
Telegraph.

professions of faith. In the two years "a
funerals were attended and large NUM-
Der of marriages were solemnzed. The
pastor made during his two years pas
torate 1864 visits, of which 53S were to
