Is Our New Railroad Coming


Rumors that the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad will soon begin the Shepherds
town section of its cut off between Cherry
Run and Harpers Ferry are again preva-
lent, and there are indications that point
strongly in this direction. One signifi-
cant pointer is the fact that the railroad
company last week settled with J. 10y
Hanger for the right OF way through his
farm. This was the last purchase to be
effected. Major Hunter had several
years ago succeeded in settling with
every property owner affected by the new
route and cash was paid for all the land
taken, except in the case of Mr.. Hanger.
He was not satisfied TO except what the
railroad company offered, and though
condemnation proceedings had been in
stituted in the Berkeley court, the matter
had never been adjudicated. Last week
representatives of the company and MIR.
Hanger got together and effected a COM
promise by which he gives the railroad
the right of way through his place for
the sum of ENTHUSIASTICALLY more
than he was before offered. The COM
pany now owns every foot of land need
ed for its new line.
Another fact that may indicate early
action is the statement that within the
past week or two a considerable party of
railway engineers have been busy max
ing surveys at Berkeley Station, where
the new road is to cross the Cumberland
Valley Railroad. The presumption is
that they are surveying to make the most
feasible crossing at this point. Other
rumors are current indicating that the
work will be commenced not later than
early spring.

AT the local option election in Roanoke,
Va, last Thursday the "wets" won by a
majority OF SO out OF total vote of 3,2l9.
The temperance people made a splendid
campaign, but the whiskey advocates did
effective secret work. Both sides worked
earnestly on election day, but there was
no disorder. A majority of the election
officers were "wet" men, and one of them,
Walter J. Camper, was arrested for tam
pering with the ballots. Last spring the
city voted "dry," but the election was
set aside by a judge on technicalities and
the people were cheated out of their
rights.

IS HEARD
Blind Musician Gives an Entertaining
Program in Artistic Manner
at Augustana.
SELECTIONS ARE VARIED
Plays Classical Numbers and Negro
Melodies-lnterpretat of Great
Masters is Remarkable.

All who heard Blind Boone" play
last night at Augustana college pro-
nounced him to be the greatest marvel
they had ever heard. Very few had ex-
pected that his playing would be Of
the high class quality it was, but rath-
er expected rag time and negro melo-
dies. Boone played these, too, but he
also showed that he was a thorough
master of some of the worlds greatest
classical compositions.
His playing of some of these clas-
sizes was little short of brilliant His
technique was wonderful. and for pre-
cision in time he could not be sur
passed. His interpretations of Colts
chalk's Last Hope" LISTS Sixth
Rhapsody" transcription of ''Il Tro-
'vatore" by Gottschalk, and Chopin's
Military Polonaise" were especially
remarkable. Schubert's "Serenade"
was one of his encores, and he played
it with such exquisite tenderness and
dreamy effect that he fairly carried
the audience with him.
Plays Own Compositions.
Boone also played some of his own
plantation melodies, all of them typi
tcally- negro songs. On the other hand.
he played a waltz of his own compost
ltion, which was quite a creditable pro
lduction. His descriptive composition
Iof the "Marshfield Tornado" was alse
very realistic as~well.sas artistic and
F, beautiful. Finally. he initiated various
musical instruments on the piano. The
limitation of the drum and fife, and
the music box, were so realistic that
the audience could have easily imag
ined they heard the real instruments
had they closed their eyes.
| The other members of Boone's com
Ipany were Miss Emma Smith, soprano
| and Miss Lillian Fields, mezzo- sopra
no. The formers singing was not Sc
good. She possesses an excellent nat
ural talent, but it was evident that hel
voice had not received much training
All her selections were of the populai
order. Miss Fields, however, com
Ipletely captivated the audience will
her singing She possesses an unusu
ally clear and full mezzo voice, an,
her numbers were mostly of a higl
order.
