A very pretty wedding was celebrated
at the home Of the bride October Sth,
when Rev. J. E. Triplett united in mat
remony Mr.. Ira Herbert Irwin, Of Shen-
andoah Junction, and Miss Meta Jo-
sephine Howell, Of Keller. The house
was filed with the friends Of the couple,
presenting gay and animated scene.
At the appointed hour the Lohengrin
wedding march was skillfully played by
Miss Ester Shaull, of Middleway, and
Hearts and Flowers" was rendered
very softly during the ceremony.
The FIRST to enter the par or were
Miss Agnes Moler, cousin Of the
bride, and Mr.. Harry Howell, Of Am
bridge, Pa, brother Of the bride. Next
came the maid of honor, Miss Stella
Howell, sister Of the bride, then the
groom and best man, Mr.. Harry Cook
us, of Romnsy. Next came the little
flower girl, namesake and cousin OF the
bride, Meta Jenkins. Last came the
bride on the arm of her brother, 7. E.
Howell, Of Washington, who gave her
away She was attired in white silk,
white veil and orange blossoms, and

sweet in white organdy trimmed with
white lace and ribbon. The organist

Electric Light Plant to be Sold.

The town council Of Shepherdstown
has agreed to sell the municipal cleo
trio lighting plant, At meeting Of
council Monday night John L. Livers
submitted a proposition looking to the
purchase Of the plant, and after con-
sidering the matter at length, an
agreement, save as to minor points,
has been reached. Mr.. Livsrs is to
pay the sum of So, 200 cash, which is
the amount Of bonds of the plant now
outstanding. He is to take charge
and operate the system the first Of
November, and will use the machinery
here until arrangements can be made
to get a current from Martinsburg.
Mr.. Livsrs, it will be recalled, erected
the pole line from the plant now be-
ing constructed at Dam No.4, by way
of Shepherdstown, to Martinsburg.
He will at once string the wires, and
until the current can be supplied by
the plant at the dam, will secure
power from a new electric plant just
finished at Martinsburg. he will re-
build the line in shepherdstown, as
the old line is beginning to bein need
of repairs and would have to be given
a general ovehauling.
Somehow we do not altogether like
the idea of selling our electric light
system and so placing it altogether
out Of the control of our town author
tiles, yet it is generally agreed that it
ia wise to do 80. Extensive repairs
will soon be needed and perhaps some
of the machinery will have to be re-
newed, imposing an expense that the
town can hardly afford to meet. One
advantage of putting it in new hands
will be that we will have current
the whole twenty.four hours each day,
instead of the present limited time
between shutdown and midnight. 1t
will be decidedly better to have an
all-day and all-night current, which
will be available both tor lighting ana
for power.
Under the terms of the contract the
franchise is to run for thirty years.
Mr.. Livers, we understand, is to charge
no more than the present satisfactory
rate, 10 cents per kilowat hour, and
will light the streets of the town at
half this rate, or 5 cents. He will
not continue the present system of so
much per light per month, but will
install meters for all customers and
charge for the amount of current used.
This, we are sure, will be more sat.
isfactory arrangement for consumers
than the present system.
In rebuilding the lines in town it
would be a vast benefit if the poles
and wires could be removed from the
main street and run through the al
legs.

Drowned In the Canal.

George Ingram, resident of OAR
gan, about six miles south of Sharps.
burg, was drowned in Wade's wide
water, in the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, three miles south of Shepherds
town, at about 8 o'clock last Saturday
evening. Mr.. Ingram, in company
with two other men, had brought a
,cow to Shepherdstown Saturday az
ternoon and had purchased quantity
of lumber with which to repair his
house. The lumber was being taken
from Shepherdstown to Mountain Lock
upon the scow. 1t was on the return
trip that the accident happened. Mr..
Ingram was upon the front portion of
the scow, while one man was in the
rear steering it, the other on the tow
path driving the mule drawing the
scow. The man at the steering pole
noticed Mr.. Ingram fall from the
boat into the canal. He at once ran
the scow into the bank, grabbed a
rope and threw it to the drowning
man. The latter was either seized
with cramp or was too excited to
take hold Of the line. One of them
then jumped into the water to save
him, but his efforts were of no avail.
The body was recovered about three
hours after the drowning and was re-
moved to his home early Sunday
morning. Where the drowning &C.
Cured the canal is several times its
usual width and quite deep, probably
fifteen feet or more. This greatly
hindered those trying to aid Mr.. In
gram, and his inability to swim kept
him from reaching the bank, as might
have been the case had the canal been
narrower. Mr.. ingram was aged
about forty years and is survived by a
wife and several children.
