Burned to Death as He Slept.

Charles II. Buckner, 90 years old,
was burned to death Tuesday night
while he was sleeping in little cabin
In which he made his home a couple
of miles south of Shepherdstown.
The cabin was on strip of land be-
longing to J. B. Lucas, along the
Charles Town road. Tuesday night
Buckner's two sisters, who live near
by, were at his home until about 10
o'clock, and when they left he had a
roaring fire in the stove that warmed
the place. He evidently had laid
down fully dressed upon the bed,
which was close to the stove, and fall
en- into sound sleep from which he
never awakened. The bel probably
caught from the stove and he was
sufocated while he slept. The build
ing was entirely destroyed. Tuesday
morning ]. G. Unger who lives few
hundred yards away, discovered that
the cabin had been destroyed and saw
the remains of the unfortunate man
lyingln the burningruin The hands
and feet had been burned off entirely,
while the body and head were burned
to crisp. The remains were still ly.
ing upon what was left of the bed.
Mr.. Unger sent word to town, and
Constable NJ. ?. Crowl made an In
vestigation. After learning all the
facts In the case, Magistrate Rentch
decided that an inquest was unneces-
sary. BucSner was native OF Clarke
county, Va, but had lived In this
neighborhood for several years. He
was son OF J. z. Buckuer, OF Clarke
county, and had two sisters, Misses
Frances and Sadie Buckner, living In
the vicinity. He was unmarried.

erection of this monument, the act
providing that it should be erected
on the banks of the Potomac river in
the town IF Shepherdstown on site
or location to be designated by the
Governor of the State. The act pro-
vided that the erection of the memo
rial should be under the auspices Of
a corporation chartered for the pur-
pose under the laws of West Virginia
1t was to proceed with the organi-
zation of this corporation that the
meeting was held ON Monday. Geo.
M. Beltzhoover, Esq, was elected
chairman, and Il. L. Snyder secre-
tary. Safe Senator William Camp
bell, of Charles Town, who had besu
active Ill securing the appropriation
for the monument, was among those
present, and he explained the pro-
visions of the act and submitted GER
tain correspondence concerning the

Quoted. After discussion OF the sub
ject the following incorporators were

secure the necessary charter. and up
on receipt of same the chairman was
authorized to call meeting to form

agreed to call the society The Rum
seyan Society" this being the name

formed by James Rumsey in Phila-
delphla in 1887, Of which Benjamin
Franklin was president. 1t ls pro-
posed, when the charter ehall have
been secured, to appoint board of
directors which shall take charge OF
the active work, and efforts will be
made to interest the Legislatures Of
Maryland and of Virginia in the en-
terprise. Private subscriptions will
also be sought, and it is hoped that
