Berkeley Springs. July 6. The cele

Hundreds of people came here from

Both before and after she rain peonle
poured into the place by wagon and
rail. until the streets in the downtown
section were crowded. There was plen

diversified character. and everybody
seemed to have good time.
The base ball game onlv went as far
as the fourth inning at which time

tournament was declared off. Tie
rain made the ground too soft for rid

pulled off the event. A dance in the
evening brought the day to close.

encounter took place between four

minutes a great crowd had assembled.
The four assailants defied them, and a
pitched battle ensued for some mln-

The Fourth in this CITY passed off in
rather quiet manner. There was

a great deal of noise without doing

A great many people spent the

to the Potoma River, and put in the
time lounging in the shade of the trees
and trying to catch fish. The latter
effort was unproductive, the water
being too muddy. Back Greek valley
had its ouoSa of visitors, while others
went TO Antietam, Winchester, Shep-

SUIT TO CONDEMN LAND.
Water Board Institutes Proceed
ings in Circuit Court.
REVIEWERS ARE APPOINTED
BY Judge Faulkner, and City VIII Take
Possession Of Land Agreement
With Mr.. Stewart.

The members Of the committee Of
councilmen having in charge the con-
struction of the new water system for
this city have closed deal with Will
liam I. Stewart for right-of way for
the pire lire through 1000 feet Ct
his land adjacent TO the city. The
committee also purchased from Mr..
Stewart tract of two acres for site
for the pumping station and land for
roadway and switch. The consider
alton was 81, 500. The pumping sta
ton will be just west of the Cum
berland Valley railroad tracks and
south OF the Tuscarora, near the in
tersection of the two.
The committee also reached salts
factory agreement with Mr.. Alexan-
der Parks Tuesday morning.
The committee. having come to an
agreement with all the property
owners excepting Messrs. Aquilla
Janney and Duncan Hamilton, they,
through their attorneys Instituted con-
demnation proceedings before Judge
E. Bovd Faulkner in the Circuit court.
Judge Faulkner handed down a list
of ID men, from which five men who
were acceptable to both sides were
selected to act as board of review to
look over the land condemned and de-
eide upon the amount of damages TO
be awarded the owners. The mem
bsrs of the committee are as follows !:
@. A. Miller, o. B. Lefever, X. S.
Miller, Harry S. Cushwa, H. Nc
Donald.
1t is expected that these gentlemen
will begin their work immediately,
and that an early decision in each
case will be reached.
After viewing the land they will
notify the owners and council of
the amount of damages agreed upon,
and the sum in each case will be set
aside or placed to the credit of the
owners.
The committee will then take pos
session of the land condemned for a
right way, and the work of con-
tructing the pipe line will be COM
menced. Should the property owners
be dissatisfied with the amount OF
damages awarded by the board of re-
viewers. appointed by Judge Faux
ner, they NAV go before the latter and
demand trial of the case by a jury.
1t is no. thought that any long and
costly litigation will follow the con-
domination of the lard.
The members of the water board
had no trouble coming to satisfac-
tory agreement with all the parties
concerned except those mentioned
above and regret verv much that the
whole matter could not be adjusted
outside of court.
