HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Quantity Of Dynamite Exploded al
The South Quarries.
PLACED ON STEAM PIPE TO THAW
Workmen Handled Deadly Stuff
Carelessly, But Escaped Without
Injury Some Damage to Prop
erty Was Only Result.

Several workmen at the south quar-
ries of the Standard Lime & Stone
Co had an exceedingly narrow escape
from being blown to pieces by the
accidental explosion of 60 pounds c;
dynamite shortly after o'clock this
morning, but fortunately all escaped
without even receiving scratch, and
the damage to property was slight
The explosion was caused by the too
careless handling of the dynamite by
the workmen, and 1t was miracle
that some one was not killed.
When the workmen started In on
their days labor they found that 60
pounds of dynamite had been frozen
by the cold during the night, and rem
dered unfit for use. AS is customa-
ry, an attempt was made to thaw the
deadly explosive, and the dynamite was
placed on steam coil for that pur-
pose, instead Of placing 1t near the
coil.
The heat caused the dynamite to let
go in few moments, and the report
was heard heard throughout the city
fortunately, there was no one in the
immediate vicinity, consequently there
was no loss of life as result of the
explosion.
1t was at first reported In the city
that several men had been fatally in
jured, but an investigation speedily
proved this to be untrue. One of the
company's horses was pretty badly in
jured, and there was some damage
to property, but aside from ibis the
explosion was without result

He hailed them pleasantly and asked
them to have a toss with him; but
they declined. He insisted and finally
,got 80 angry that he went for his gun
and took three shots at the agitated

They went to Hagerstown via Williams

and ever and anon feeling for bullet
holes to lay in a complaint with the
states attorney, bue he was out of

and prepared documents. They swear
they will get even for that fright and

Harry Miller, of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, was struck and instantly
killed by passenger train No. IA, near
the Hedgesville target Thursday night
about $50 o'clock, while walking along
the tracks
1t is supposed that Miller failed to
hear the approach of the flying pas
senger train, or that he stepped from
the west track to the east In order to
avoid passing freight, and was not
aware of the approach of the other
train.
Young Miller was killed instantly

reported when the train reached Mar
tinsburg that he believed he had struck
a man In the Hedgesville cut, and
the members of the crew of passenger
train No. IL were notified to be on the
lookout for the body. The body was
found lying along the tracks. and
was brought to this city by No. IL.

PROF. We. RUMsEY SPEAKS
HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT
SAN JOSE SCALE.
Says Those Who Spray Are Controll-
ing the Disease, But Those Who
Do Not Are Suffering Loss.

Prof. w. E. Rumsey. Of the state
agricultural experiment station, who
has been in this county for several
days past making a campaign against
the San Jose scale in the apple orch
ards, returned to Morgantown today
to remain over Sunday. He will re-
turn to this county next week to
again take up the work, and expects
to put in at least another week, pos
sibly two, in this section.
Speaking about the condition of the
orchards in Berkeley county, with spe-
cial reference to the scale, Prof Rum
sey said:
II find that the situation in Berke-
ley county is decidedly encouraging,
and that the fruit growers generally
have entered into the campaign
against the San Jose scale with de
termination that should bear splendid
results.
Il have found that many growers
around here recognize the absolute
necessity for prompt, vigorous and sus
| tanned action, if they are to preserve
their orchards and render them more
profitable, and with this knowledge
has come a campaign that will have
the desired effect
However, regret to say that some
growers are doing little or nothing
toward eradicating the scale, and this
is a matter Of deep regret. This lack
of interest and failure to make an eft
fort to get rid of this disease on the
part of some of the growers will not
only result in loss to themselves, but
will operate to retard the efforts OF
others. There should be a general
movement in this direction.
Il find that the growers who
have been spraying their trees are
able to hold the scale in check and
prevent further spread, and l believe
1
that steady gain toward eradication
will be made If the growers keep up
their work. also find that where
the growers have failed to spray, there
is steady decline in the trees, many
OF them being in a dying condition.
The right thing to do is to keep at
II and make some gain on the disease
season.
The report that Director Stewart
would visit this county today to wit
nsss spraying operations was with
out foundation.
