The Celebration.

Last week the Tribune touched on
the action of the Commercial Club in
agitating the question of properly cele-
brating the Fourth in Mineral Point.
Prospects are as bright as ever. A lib
eral amount Of money has been sub
scribed toward the fund, considerable
of it actually paid in. But to carry out
a rsusing celebration in every detail, a
little more than so far assured is nee
essary. There are number of citizens,
however, who have not been called on
by the solicitors. Due response from
these is all that is required to swell the
funds to the desired amount.
Now for mass meeting and complete
arrangements. There's no time to lose.

An Early Morning Fire.

Much CONSERVATION was caused In
Shepherdstown last Sunday morning
about two o'clock by the vigorous and
prolonged ringing of the fre-bell and
the alarming cries of Fire !" that
reused up the people all over town.
The trouble Was at the nome of Prof
J. G Knutti, principal of Shepherd
Co. lege, who occupies the house be-
longing to Mrs. Henry Shepherd, Jr
on Main street. Prof. and Mrs
Knuttl were awakened by a dense
smoke in their room, and found that
it proceeded from the wall and floor
about the fireplace. They gave the
alarm, and while the 6remen and
others were gathering they located
the fire, which seemed to bs in the
joist, beneath the fireplace. Access
was gained by tearing up the floor and
removing the mantel, and it was found
that the woodwork was very much
charred under the hearth, having been
set afre. probably, from hot bed Of
Goals in the fireplace. Fortunately
it had not broken into a blaze, but
had it not been noticed in time there
would have been a disastrous confa.
grafton. The fire engine was put to
work as precaution should blaze
burst forth, but was not needed, as
buckets of water were sufficient to
quench the fire. The house was dam
aged to slight extent, but the loss
was trlalng to what it might have
been. The alarm coming as it did In
the dead of night, and following so
soon the fire that destroyed the Fer
rell home, caused much anxiety and
excitement. AS it Was the third fire
within a week, it is nov hoped that
the spell is broken and that we shall
again have our usual freedom from
such troubles.

Winter Lingering Still.

The weather of the past week gives
rise to the suspicion that the ground
hog is not playing fair, for although
his reign ended a month or more ago,
the weather has been very unsatisfac-
tory. Last Saturday night there was
quite a good deil of snow, but it was
overlooked as sort of expiring effort
of winter that was not to be regarded
seriously. Tuesday, however, there
was regular winter snow storm.
When folks awoke in the morning the
fakes were falling thick aud fast. and
the ground had covering that was
anything but springlike, Trees, vines
and shrubbery were clothed in white,
while the wires were testoons of beauty
that made an undeniably lovely land
scape. The snow kept up until about
ten o'clock, and by that time was
three or four inches deep. Later in
the day the sun came out, and it left
almost as quickly as it came. Some
damage was caused by the breaking
of telephone and electric light wires
under the weight of snow. Will Hill's
reputation would have been establish
ed If he had only been wise enough to
predict this snow.
