For ThTee-Day Show.

\ meeting of the Virginia Horse
Show Association will be held at
the New Willard Hotel, Washing
ton, next Wednesday, February -.
\ rumor Is current that an effort
will be made to secure three days
for the Berryville Horse Show this
wear, but the rumor cannot be
verified.
The Horse Show last year could
have been easily closed in two days
but for the fact that the Judges
were unable to render their deci-
sions quickly. 1t was through no
fault of the Judges, however. They
had been accustomed to Judging
classes at the large city shows,
where, as soon as the contestants
have made one circuit of the ring,
those who have failed TO show
for the money are given the gate. .
If such an innovation had been in
augurated at the Berryville Show
last year, there would have beer
criticism of every character or
every hand.

Mr.. BrOmley'S Home Destroyed.

The large and commodiouS home
of Mr.. John Bromley, situated one
mile from Lake View, was entirely
destroyed by fire last Thursday at
midday.
just how the fire originated is
not known, but it was first discover
ed in the annex to the house. and
was burning so fiercely that the
entire structure was soon in ashes.
Many valuable articles were des-
troyed with the building, as the
heat was so intense it was impossi-
bic to save but very little.
Mr., Bromley was insured for
S2, 900, but that will be less than
half the amount of his loss.
The house was built on the old
Virginia colonial style, and as Mr..
Bromley had made extensive i'm
provements from time to time, il
was considered one of the most
desirable and attractive country
homes in this section of the State.

Attempted 10 End His Life.

Last Friday morning about 9
O'Clock, Mr.. Elijah NARROW, a well
known farmer, living near Castle
mems Ferry. made an attempt to
end his life.
At the time of the attempt, Mrs.
NARROW and his sons we're at the
barn; his daughter, Miss Lily was
I'm the upper part Of the house.
The youngest child, about seven
years of age, was given a pocket
book by Mr.. NARROW and told to
take 1t TO her mother at the barn.
Mr.. NARROW them locked himself
in the room and fired the shot which
came so near ending his life.
The revolver used was a heavy
one of 3S caliber, and the bullet
entered his left breast about two
inches above the heart, penetrating
the lung and lodging in the back.
Miss Lily, hearing the shot,
rushed downstairs and tried TO
enter the room. but finding the
door locked she called for help.
The door was forced open and Mr..
NARROW was found with his cloth
ing on fire and blood pouring from
his breast and back.
DIR. j. +. Harris was quickly
summoned from Berryville, and
made the wounded man as com
Portable as possible by removing
the bullet and stopping the flow of
blood.
At this writing Mr.. NARROW is
resting as easy as possible under
the circumstances, and unless some
unforeseen complications arise, he
will entirely recover in short
time.
For more than two years Mr..
NARROW has been in poor health,
and of late has been extremely
deSpondent.
1t Is thought that he had worried
over his illness until his mind was
temporarily unbalanced. and that
ne ATTEMPTED to take his life while
momentarily irresponsible.
Mr.. NARROW is about 90 years
of age, and has a large family of
children, who command the re-
spect and sympathy of everyone.
Mr.. NARROW has for many years
been engaged in farming in Clarke
county, and has been very sue
cesSful.
The COURIER hopes to see him
