Smallpox al MartinSburg.

Our neighboring town Of Martins
burg is afflicted with a plague of
smallpox, and it is reported on good
authority that there are no less than
twenty cases in the place. A couple
of weeks ago a hobo was arrested for
stealing a tide or B. & 0. train and
was taken to the mayors headquar-
tiers and later placed in cell in the
lookup. He had the smallpox, and
he succeeded in inoculating a good
many persons who came near him
The caretaker of the lookup got the
disease and spread it in his home
The chief of police, it is reported, was
also infected, and before it was known
generally what the trouble was the
smallpox had broken out in several
places. The disease is said TO be in
a mild form, and the local physicians,
with the assistance Of an expert from
Washington, now have the epidemic
under control. All the cases are
strictly quarantined, and it is hoped
the trouble will soon be over. 1t is
said that the health officer had the
smallpox in a mild form, but is now
about well again. There was one
death from the disease, a man named
Lingamfelter.
DR.. S. N. Myers, member Of the
State Board of Health, who is in
charge of the situation, published in
the local papers on Monday detailed
statement of present conditions, in
which he declares that no further
spread of the contagion is feared by
the authorities, and that it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that the disease is un-
der control. This statements strength
ened by the fact that there have been
but two fresh cases during the past
eight days, one of them being at the
detention camp, the other being in
the city proper, and both being Of an
exceedingly mild nature.

Laying New Steel Rails.

The gang Of laborers who are laying
new rails on this division Of the Nor
folk & Western Railway worked their
way through Shepherdstowr this week.
1t is an interesting sight to watch the
operation of taking up the old rails
and laying the new ones in their place,
all of which must be done without de-
laying the trains. There are sixty
five men in the crew here, nearly all
whom are stout, husky colored men
from Virginia, in charge of several
bosses. The spikes are first drawn
from around the old rails, and then
long sections are laid beside the track.
A dozen big fellows take hold of a
new rail and with peculiar singsong
exchange Of signals from the two end
men they swing it into its place. 9th
err men couple the joints together, and
then the expert spikers come along
and quickly drive the spikes into the
ties. The boss says if there is no
switches to bother them this gang can
relay a mile of track day, but a good
deal of time is lost when new switches
have to be put in.
The men are boarded by the rail-
road company, and their cars are at
Morgan's Grove switch. The com
pany takes them to their home in Vir-
ginia every two weeks tree.
The new rails weigh So pounds to
the yard. Those that they replace
weigh but Sc pounds. The best Of the
old rails are used to relay side-tracks,
while the balance is sent to the foundry
to be rolled into new rails. There is
very perceptible difference in riding
upon the new steel and the old, and
passengers upon the trains can readily
note it.
Another gang of workmen is work.
ing this way from the south. The
two forces will probably meet at Shen-
andoah Junction next week.

The Morgan Farm Sold.

Failing Spring Farm" the old
Morgan homestead about a half mile
south of Shepherdstown, was sold this
week by the heirs of the late Col. VIM.
A. Morgan to DR.. N. H. Crawford, OF
Staunton, Va. The place contains
about 100 acres and the price paid
was $4,000. The sale was made
through Mr.. Hilleary, of Staunton,
and the Kearfott-Lindsay Company,
of Pittsburg. The transfer will be
made as soon as certain legal techni-
calities can be arranged.
This farm is one of the historic old
places of the Valley of Virginia. 1t
has been in the Morgan family for over
a hundred years, and the original
tract was probably taken up by the
Morgans by grant from Lord Fairfax.
The first house built upon it was a
modest stone structure near the large
spring. Jacob Morgan, father Of Col.
VIM. A. Morgan, built the mansion
house on the commanding emiDence
which it now occupies. 1t Is a solid,
substantial structure with large rooms,
and can be made a very handsome
home. The farm runs from Kearneys-
vile pike on the west to the Charles
Town pike on the east. 1t is noted
for the splendid spring upon it-a
never failing fountain OF pure water
that gushes from the limestone rocks.
1t was at this famous old spring that
the first company from south Of the
Potomac was organized during the
Revolutionary War and made its bee
line to Boston, when General Wash
ington received its members with tears
of Joy. Besides the big spring, there
are several other fine springs upon
the place, and every field Of the farm
has running water in it save one.
There is also a fine piece Of timber
adjoining the house-great, sturdy
oaks in the shade Of which the Nor
CANS Grove fair was held for num-
Der of years.
DR.. Crawford, who has Just bought
this fine old place, was formerly a
surgeon in the United States Navy,
but resigned recently in order that be
might settle down and make home
for himself. He is a wealthy and a
cultured gentleman. We understand
that he will take immediate posses
sion of the place, and expects TO make
it his permanent home. He will i'm
prove the place greatly, it is said,
and will at o0ce begin to make changes
in the house that will give him de-
sirable and comfortable home 1t Is
said to be his intention to put the
farm in blue grass and devote it prin-
cipally to the raising Of fine stock.
Our people will give a cordial well
come to DR.. and Mrs. Crawford, and
we hope they may grow to like our
neighborhood as do those "to the
manor born" There is general fehc-
itation that the Morgan place has
fallen into the hands Of those who will
improve and beautify it and add to
its natural beauties, and we hope
that others Of the desirable farms in
this vicinity that are on the market
may be taken up.
