To Honor General Broke,

The long delayed recognition of the
patriotic service of general William
Darke who lies buried on the farm of
the Ronemons heirs near shenandoah
junction, in this county, has come at
Iast. Last week two granite pieces Or
dered by the War Department arrived
at the Junction, and ill be erected to
marx the last resting place of this hero
has been neglected, save for the care
some Of his defendants have given it.
General Darke, who won fame as
commander in the war for American
Independence, was killed in a battle
with the Miami Indiana in 1901, when
he was IS years old. His body was
brought to his plantation, near what
is now Shenandoah Junction, for bur
ial. 1t has been proposed. and the prop
osition has met with favor wherever
advanced that the 2. o. s. of A. lodges
of the county join in some appropriate
ceremonies at the grave of General
Darke on Washington's birthday,
February 22d, when the gravestones
shall be placed in position. -Advocat
After considering the adysability of
demonstration on Febru, ry I'D, it
has been decided, because OF the I'M
certainty of the weather at this season
to defer the exercises until date the
coming spring, to be announced later.
James w. Notary, Of Shenandoah
Junction, has been appointed to con-
fer with the relatives of General Darke
the Engles and Othsrs-and enlist
general interest in the ceremonies.
BY the way, we think that the Ad-
vocste is in error in regard to General
Darke being killed by indians in Ohio.
1t was his son, who was desperately
wounded at Cincinnati and brought az
far AS Cum berland, whore he died. The
body was brought to the burying
ground near the junction and inferred
beside that Of his father. General
Darke, we are informed, died in 1901
near Charles Town, and was buried in
old graveyard. 1t is said that he was
the frat magistrate appoisted for
Jefferson county. - Shepherdstswn

nor of New York. Now it has been
suggested that he run fer Congress
from the Oyster Bay district with the
understanding that he shall be ma de
speaker. 1t is thought that it would
greatly strengthen the republicans in
the election next fall and possibly pre-
vent the democrats from controlling
the House. There were not few re-
publicans who were heartily glad
when he quit the White House and
there would be more joy over the ter
mination of his term Of bullying the
House.

The action of the City Council In re-
fusing franchise to the Winchester
aud Washington CITY Railway COM
pany for furnishing light and power to
the people of Martinsburg has met
with general condemnation. Az our
correspondent last week stated "the
objection of the council that the com
pany was not able to furnish its pres
emit customers with light and power is
an excuse but no reason" Just now
when the new board Of trade and all
the citizens are vieing with each other
in grand effort to push the town to
the front by inducing new industries
to locate here the action Of the council
is most unfortunate. If some company
or individual should come here and
learn of the action of the council
they would take it at once that the
town did not wish more industries.
Gentleman of the city council make
haste and reconsider your actions. DO
not give the city such stab, redeem
yourselves in the eyes and affections
of your constituents.
