Berryville, the beautiful, is the
county seat of Clarke county. 1t
was first known as Battletown, and
it is said that this name was given
it on account of the frequent fights
that General Daniel Morgan had at
this place; but in 1898 it was in
corporated and given it's present
name in honor Of BENJAMIN Berry, a
highly esteemed citizens of that time.
Clarke county was cut off from Fred
erick county in 1896. but Berryville
grew slowly until after 1881, when
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad,
now called the Norfolk and Western,
passed through 1t, and the village
became thriving town, whose pop
ulation and beautiful homes have
steadily increased.
The BerryvilIe Land and Improve
ment Company has worked wonders
in the last few years; broad and
well-shaded streets have been laid
out and many handsome homes have
been lately erected.

Disastrous Fire Visits That Town
This Morning.
THREE BUILDINGS ARE DESTROYED
Two Fire Companies Go From Ha-
gerstown to Render Assistance
Loss Will Be Heavy--Origin
la Mystery.

Fire that broke out this morning
shortly after midnight destroyed the
Joffe and ]. X p. Grove buildings,
at Hancock. and then spread to the
Masonic Temple.
The blaze was discovered about
1890 a. M, and then the Joffe build
ing was domed The fire burned so
fiercely that the bucket brigade could
do practically nothing The great
heat prevented anyone from getting
near enough to throw water on the
fire.
From the Joffee building the blaze
communicated to the Grove building
and destroyed it.
At 100 o'clock the Masonic Temple
caught fire and in a short time it was
apparent that the handsome four-stor-
ny structure was doomed. J. G. Tur
ner's store was located on the first
floor, and the second floor was the
opera house. which was leased by c.
w. Boyer, of the Academy of Music,
Hagerstown, and the Central Opera
house, Martinsburg. The third and
fourth floors were devoted to lodge
rooms.
An appeal was sent to Hagerstown
for aid. AS soon as Mayor Mish had
been communicated with the Juniors.
with their engine. and the Antietams,
with their hose wagon, left on spec
ial train over the Western Maryland
railroad.
The loss by this mornings blaze is
very heavy and will run into thou
sands. The buildings were partially
insured, as were the contents, but the
insurance will be only about half the
loss.

WAS A MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE
WITH AN OFFICER OF The LAW
AS BEST MAN.
Girl Who Had BeenWronged By
Resident of This City Gets Out
a Warrant For His Arrest.

A midnight marriage between a
young girl who had been wronged
by man of this city and the father
of her child furnished food for gossip
to the residents of South High street
Saturday night. and was the culmi-
nation of legal proceedings which had
been instituted against the man in
Justice Felker's court Saturday.
The man was arrested by Constable
Lemen on a warrant sworn out by
the girl. who charged him with being
the father of her baby, which was
born on Friday. After a consultation
with the mother and sister of the
man it was decided that the proper
thing to do would be to have we'd
ding, and accordingly a license was
secured at III o'clock Saturday
night, the services Of Rev. A, B. Will
son procured and the marriage con-
summated.
Officer Hollis, who had the man in
custody, was the best man, and remain
ed closely at the side of his prisoner
until Rev. Mr.. Wilson had completed
the service which legitimatized the
hahy.

II WAS A DANGEROUS BLAZE
BUT LUCKILY THE FIRE WAS
DISCOVERED IN TIME.
Spark From Stove Caused Fire at
the Home of Mr.. Joseph Imbach
Early This Morning.

But for the timely discovery OF an
incipient fire at the home Of Mr.
Joseph lmbach, on East Burke street,
this morning, a disastrous blaze that
would have done great damage would
have resulted. At about 2.30 o'clock
the members of the household MOTTO
ed a strong smell Of smoke from a
room on the lower floor, and an in
vestigation disclosed blaze in the
sitting room.
Mr.. Imbach and his son hurriedls
secured several pals of water and
extinguished the blaze, which was
rapidly gaining Roadway The lace
curtains, rugs, portiers and other i'm
fiammable material was burning
fercely, and but for the prompt ac-
ton Of the male members Of the
household the entire house would
soon have been on fire.
1t is presumed that the fire was
caused by spark from the stove,
which had been filed few minutes
previously by son of Mr.. Imbach
No alarm was sent in to the fire
headquarters The damage is cover
ed by insurance.

Friends of Mayor Harrison state
chat he will not be a candidate for

that the democratic councilmen who
