Rivalry Intense
"The rivalry existing between the
towns of Bullfrog and Rhyolite is in
tense and tends to add to the luridness
which generally associates itself with
those localities. The line of demarka-
tion between them is nil, for tits but a
step from one to the other, yet the line
of demarkation as drawn by the resi-
dents is as distinct as though oceans,
instead of a narrow river of dust, sep
arated them. The Cooker on in

tieth anniversary OF their marriage
Tuesday evening by holding a gold
en- wedding reception at their home

Rev. Mr. Dutton, of the Presbyterian
Church. Mr.. Chase was native of
Maine, but came to Virginia some
sixty years ago, where he has lived
ever since. He came to Shepherds

Of the seven children born to them,
three daughters and two sons still

still in good health, and their friends
hope they may have still more ami
yersaries of their marriage.

The immediate vicinity of the Nor

fatally short while afterward. The
victim of the terrible catastrophe wss
a young married woman less than
eighteen years of age, Mrs. Bessie Ba-
dy, wife of Robert Bady and daugh-
ter of Mrs. Lila Hamilton, of Ben
tonville, Va. Mrs. Badly had been
for some time with her uncle, j. NJ.
Martin, OF this place, and learning
that her husband had been hurt in
an accident at Rileyville, she, in com.
pany with her brother-in-law, Johr
Badly, went to the Norfolk and West.
ern station to board the 8.45 p. N.
north bound train for Shenandoah
Junction, at which point they expect
ed to take the 2 a. m. south-bound
train for Rileyville. In the mean.
time the husband had reached Charles
Town on a freight train, learned at
Mr.. Martins that his wife had gone
to take the train, and started out to
intercept her. AS the passenger
train came into the station Mrs. Bs-
dy and her brother-in-lsw went out
and moved down toward the point
where the front of the train general
ly stops, when the brother-in-law,

opposite side, crossed the track, and
Mrs. Bady attempted to follow but
was struck and caught under the en-
CINE, both of her lower limbs being
cut of-one at the ankle and the 9TH
er at the knee. The unfortunate
victim, as soon as she could be e1-
tricated from beneath the locomo-
tive, was taken to DR.. Venning 8 Hos
pital, where both limbs were ampu-
tated and everything possible done
to save her life ; but all was unavail-
ing, and she died about IL o'clock.
After her death the Caesarian opera
ton was performed in hope of saving
the life Of her unborn offspring and
she was delivered of fine boy baby,
but its life, like that of its mother,
was already extinct.

Ancient Songs ami Prehistoric Jokes.

Ancient Songs AMI Prehistoric Jokes. -.
The West Virginia Mlnstrels, an
aggregation of stars from Martlnsburg,
gave a performance in the town hall
in Shepherdstown last Saturday night.
1t was SO ALFRED bad that the few
who were present really enjoyed it.
One of the selections that was sung
in a dreary voice by the tenor sololst
was Darling, l Am Growing Old" a
song that was quite popular In 1872.
Their jokes were as ancient as the
song. Here's one that appeared In
Hostetters Almanac in 1859 and
which they sprung on the audience /:
Bones-"I feel like woodpile. "
Interlocutor-"How's that2"
Bones-"All cut up"
After the performance, which was
a failure financially, some of the &C
tors got well loaded, and the town
sergeant had to start them on their
homeward journey.
The question is, Is this the sort Of
show that is popular In Martinsburg
or did the mlnstrels think anything
would do for Shepherdstown2

Shepherd College course will be given
in the auditorium on Thursday night,
December l4th, when Garments Ital-
ian Boys and Ebert Poland, the i'm
personator, will appear. This is re-
garded as a 6rst-class attraction, and
wherever it has appeared it has been
most highly complimented. The in
struments of the orchestra are solo
violin, second violin, flute, clarinet
and harp. The boys play with great
brilliancy, and present selections from

a great reputation as reader and

lightful evening may be anticipated.
