highest price for hogs since
1892 WAS established ut the

Property Changes Hands.

Mrs. lanes S. Philips has sold TO Mayor
u. Marten her property fronting on
Main street 81 feet, between the store OF
w. p. Licklider and the building OF the
Billmyer heirs, for 81 ,03O cash. The sale
was made through the real estate agency
of H. L. Snyder & Co. Mr.. Martin has
already torn down the old building on the
lot, and will at once erect new building
on the site. The lower floor will be made
into a moving picture theatre OF up-to-
date design, which will be leased by
Robert Shipley, manager OF the family
theatre. The second floor will be made
into living apartments, and Mr.. Mar
ten may add a third story. He expects
to make the front OF pressed brick, with
very attractive entrance for the theatre.
The buildingnow torn down was erected
about hundred years ago, and was one
of the landmarks of Shepherdstown. 1t
was one STORY frame structure OF antique
architecture. and another building erected
at later period was built in the rear.
Our venerable ellow-toWnSman, J. 5.
Fleming, Esq, remembers the place Tor
almost eighty years back. His first recol-
lection is whenit was occupied by Misses
Peggy and Tilie Hildebrandt, and alter
ward it was the home OF the late Jacob
Smooth for some years. Some time after
the war it was bought by Lloyd Licklider,
who conducted a mems furnishing store
there until he retired from business. IT
has been in the hands OF various tenants
since that time. Mrs Phillips bought it
seven years ago for 5000. and now sells it
at a substantial advance. The old build
in that has been ruthleSSly torn down
was not a thing OF beauty, and ii will be
replaced by a structure OF handsome
appearance +; nevertheless, there will be
some who will feel regret at the passing
Of another ancient landmark.
W. p. Licklider bought al public sale
last Saturday the property adjoining his
residence on Main street, Shepherdstown,
owned by the Richard family for over a
hundred years and occupied by three
generations as a lock-maker'S shop, for
81 ,22O. The lot fronts p teet on main
street and runs back 2O6 feet to an alley
in the rear. 1t has upon it small two
story building, used by the late lamented
James r. Rickard until his falling health
the past year compelled him TO give up
active work. The tools and implements
used in the shop for 50 long were sold at
auction, and were dispersed among many
buyers. And 50 passes from Shepherds
town an ancient industry that has been an
institution here for over century.

Tragedy in Berkeley County.

A startling tragedy was enacted yes
terday near Berkeley Station. four miles
north of Martinsburg, when Charles
Crowell, aged q years, shot and killed
his child-wife. aged IA years,t whom ne
had been married only three months.
Crowell enticed his bride into field a
short distance from their home and lit
orally blew her head TO pieces with a
double baneled shotgun, and then turned
the weapon on himself and put load OF
Shot IN his heart. The bodies were dis
covered few minutes later by farmer
George Brindle, who heard the shots and,
thinking hunters were trespaSSing upon
his land, went to Investigate. He found
Crowell and his wife dead. Coroner
Kline was summoned and impanneled a
jury. After an investigation verdict OF
murder and suicide was given.
The tragedy was deliberately plan
ned several days ago and cooIly executed
was attested by the facts brought out at the
inquest. Last week Mrs. Crowell caused
the arrest OF her husband as a result OF
domestic troubles, but the quarrel was
APPARENTLY patched up in the magistrates
office, and the man and his wife lett for
home. Saturday Crowell declared to his
father-in-law, with whom he and his
vile made their home, that he intended to
kill his wife and himself. Tuesday he
secured a shotgun, loaded both barrels
and secreted the weapon in some bushes
in field a short distance from his home.
Yesterday morning, upon the pretext Of
taking his wife to visit an uncle a mile
away, CroweIl induced her TO cross the
field where the gun was hidden. The
young wife was walking in front OF her
husband, when he seized the gun and shot
her without warning.
Crowell was a son of George w.
Crowell, a well-to-do and widely known
resident of the northern section OF Berke-
ley county, while the murdered woman
was daughter OF Adam Jordan, also a
resident of the county, and was first
cousin other husband. Their married LIE
had not been happy one.

The first passenger train to stop al the
new station of the Norfolk q western
Railroad in Shepherdstown was NO. Is
at sos Monday morning. Conductor Eve
Cheney was in charge of the train, with
Thomas Clanahan as brakeman. Engi-
neer Billy Swink was at the throttle ofthe

The first passenger to alight from the
train at the new station was John L. Ii
vers, of Lancaster, Pa, though James M
Myers claims to be the first Shepherds
town man to step from the train. +. L.

Surveyor James X. Hendricks was the
first man to buy ticket for actual use.
Both of these were to Charles Town. A
good-sized crowd was present to witness
the first stop-there would have oeen
MANY more had it not been trifle too
early in the morning.

Shenandoah Junction viii Get Hers


We have heard from what appears 10
be a very reliable source that at last
Shenandoah Junction is TO get fine new
passenger station, TO be used jointly ty
the Baltimore & Ohio and Norfolk &
Western Railroads. We learn that the
plans have been made and accepted by
both roads, and that work will be COM
menced in the near future. The new sta
ton is to be built in the angle OF the two
roads, north of the B. & o. tracks and
west of the N. & w. The companies
have for years owned this site. which IS
admirably adapted for aioint depot. The
proposed station is to be two stories high,
with the B. & o. occupying the lower
floor, which will be on level with its
tracks, and the N. & w. will use the up
per floor, on a level with its road. This
arrangement would be a very satisfactory
one, and besides doing away with the
vexatious backing into and pulling out
HUN tIlC Olh SldAlOllr lO" mas W ~
done by all N. & w. trains, would be a
great convenience to passengers and the
station employees. The old building
used by these roads as station is ram
shackle affair that has been an eyeSore
and a nuisance for long time. The peo-
pie generally will be glad to know that
after many years OF waiting there is to be
a suitable station at this important point.
We have also heard that the Norfolk &
Western Railway will soon begin the
work of erecting new depot at Antie-
tam Station at Sharpsburg, to be model
ed after that at Shepherdstown, and it is
said that Berryvile and Boyce are also
down for new stations.
