Notes BY the Way.

DEAR REeIsTER-In company with
Professor Denay. and my wife, the b.
and o. train was boarded At Charles
Town on Saturday, 18th. We were
enroute for the Hardy sounty institute.
-By rail to Capon Road. thence twenty
miles by private conveyance across
hill and dale. valley and mountain, to
the quiet little town nestled among the
mountains on the banks OF old Capon.
Railway travelling always furnishes
incidents TO an observant person. Meet
ing an old acquaintance in the person
of Conductor Jenkins, who has seen al
most forty-two years Of continuous ser
vice, gave unexpected pleasure. The
familiar form, face and voice OF the
old negro who has been dispenser OF
lunches and coffee for many years also
recalled old times. A passenger asked
the old man how long he had been on
the train. "Twenty-six years, boss, "
was the reply. Where were you dur
ing the war 2" was the next query. "In
trouble, boss"
The droll manner and quaint facial
expression with the humor evoked a
hearty laugh from the passengers.
A quiet. restful Lords Day with
some part in the Methodist S. S. serv-
ices, and hearing an excellent sermon
at night, delivered by the son OF Pastor
Wade, OF the Lutheran church, pre-
pared one for night of refreshing slum-
Der. And in the glsdness OF the morn

beauties of verdant nature. and the

A legal prosecution that is Of much
interest to fruit growers in this couu-
ty is pending at Martinsburg and will
be settled September 5. The case is
that of the State vs. Lewis Clohan,
fruit tree inspector, who acting as an
officer went into the orchard of James
Hess in Berkeley county, and without
consulting the owner cut down num-
Der of peach trees, claiming they were
afflicted with the yellows. Hess
charges Clohan with committing
misdemeanor, and the case will test
the right of the inspector to destroy
trees at will. merely upon his belief
that they are diseased. At meeting
of the Berkeley county Horticultural
Society last Friday it was decided to
adopt stringent measures to see that
the law relating to tree diseases is car
ried out to the letter.

Big Meteor Falls Into The Sea.

An immense meteor, apparently
about seventy.6ve feet in circumfer.
ence, fell into the sea about a mile cfi
the Amagansett life saving station,
near New York, few days ago.
The arrival of the heavenly visitor
was announced by strange noise
which seemed to come from point
directly overhead. When first heard
there was nothing visible, but an IN
slant later great stream of fire seemed
to belch down from the clouds and
plunge into the sea in the wake of the
meteor. The slight noise which was
heard at first increased to roar that
was almost deafening, and this ended
with noise as of mighty boiler let
ting off steam as the missile struck the
water.
Great waves rolled in upon the
beach after the meteor struck the wa.
ter, and the oldest resident OF ANA
gansett cannot remember time when
any tide washed 80 far up the sands
as did the waves created by this ter.
rifying visitor from the skies.
Part of the bathing pavilion was
washed away. along with several fish :
ermen's huts. Much damage was
done to property abutting the water
front. Some persons thought the
strange incident marked the end of
the world. The meteor apparently
fell vertically. From the time the
noise was first heard until it plunged
into the sea was probably three.quar.
tiers of minute. After the disturb
ance had subsidized hundreds Of dead
fish were found upon the shore. There
were gathered up by the boys and
