Delightful Music. :

Miss Bula Ray Shull, of Roanoke, Va.
gave great pleasure to a large audience in
the Lutheran Church in Shepherdstown
last Sunday night, when she sang NUM-
Der of selections il the most delightful
style. Miss Shull sang here during home
coming week, and the announcement that
she was TO sing agpin on Sunday night
drew great crowd, the audience filling
the church auditorium, the Sunday school
rooms adjacent and the vestibules. It is
needless to say that none was disappoint-
ed, for her wonderfully sweet songs made
profound impression upon those who
heard her. After most excellently rem
dered organ selection on the organ by
MIR. Richard Spohn, who also played the
accompaniment, Miss Shull sang three
lovely songs: al heard the voice of Jesus
say, Evening and morning." and "Face
TO Face" They were superbly rendered
and the audience hung breathless on every
note of the beautiful music. Before the
sermon, she sang with exquisite effect
"Hope in the Lord" to the melody of
Handels Largo, and as an offertory she
gave Sullivan's charming selection, God
shall wipe away all tears" The effective,
touching way in which Miss Shull sang
this hymn had a deep impression upon
the people and moved them to fullest ap-
probation.
We think that there has never been
heard in Shepherdstown more accept
able singer or sweeter voice. Miss
Shull has an unusually agreeable person.
atty, and in singing has charm OF man
ner that is distinctive without affectation
and impressive and attractive to an unu-
sual degree. Her voice is a rich, full,
deep contralto, with a quality OF sympa-
thetic sweetness that at once touches the
nearer. Its natural beauty has been en-
HANGED by the careful training she has
had from the best teachers OF the great
New England Conservatory Of Music, and
she hiss full control OF every note, with
the power and ability to give fullest sig
niiicance as she interpretS the best COM
posers. Her singing was a treat to the
people OF this community that will long
be remembered, and she has warm friends
here who will hope for her return. We
claim her as Shepherdstown girl, for as
granddaughter of the late John r. Ray,
of this place, she spent much OF her time
here in her youthful days. She took
pleasure in singing her best for her old
friends in Shepherdstown. Sunday al
ternoon she sang very sweetly at the
Sunday school on the Shepherd grade,
giving an appreciated musical treat to the
people Of that neighborhood. Miss ShuIl
was entertained while in ShepherdStown
al the home of H. L. Snyder.

A Close Call.

A very disastrous accident was averted
almost miraculously last Sunday morning
about IL O'Clock on the Norfolk q West
ern Railway. AS double-header freight
train was approaching the Maryland end
of the high bridge across the Potomac at
Shepherdstown the draw-head OF box
car-about the seventh from the engine
pulled out and caused the car to jump the
track, two others being derailed at the
same time. The trouble occurred on the
high embankment only few yards from
the end of the bridge, and it was exceed
ingly fortunate that the train was stopped
so quickly and that it did not plunge over
the bank or the bridge, for it was most
perilous place for an accident. The train
men and the local section hands got two
of the cars on the track with littletrouble,
the third Car being thrown to one side
until the wrecking crew could put it on
the Sagain. No passenger train was
delayed.

A Narrow Escape.

/
Garrett B. VanMetre had a rather
shocking experience one evening last
week near Kearneysville. Mr.. VanMe-
tire, who lives in Berkeley county, few
miles from Kearneysville, had been to
that village with a wagon-load OF apples.
| Leaving his wagon al the cider mill IN
the evening, he started home with the
horses, accompanied by boy who was
working for him. AS they were riding
along the road near Daniel Socks's place
one of the horses, on which the boy was
riding. came in contact with broken tel
ephone wire that had fallen over the
heavily charged high-power wires carry
ing electric current from Millvllle to Mar
tinsburg. The animal was so greatly
shocked that it dropped instantly in the
road, where ii lay grooming, with the boy
caught under it and scared so badly that
he added his cries to the confusion. Mr..
VanMetre jumped from the horse upon
which he was riding and caught the wire
TO pull it from the horse. The next thing
he knew, he was lying on his back in a
hedge fence, where he had been thrown
by the force of the electric shock. He
managed to get up, realizing that it was
necessary to be a bit more careful IN
handling the wire. 1t had been taken
from the horse, however, and the boy
was released with little damage. J. L.
Bitner happened along duringthe trouble,
and while endeavoring to give assistance
got a pretty severe shock himself. He
doesn't mind this, however, as he de-
clares that it shocked a bad spell OF rheu-
matism from his system. The horse was
gotten up, and while showing some ef-
fects of the experience, will probably get
all right. The juxtaposition OF telephone
wires and the electric power lines is a
rather dangerous matter, and persons
should be careful in handling dangling
wires. The managers of the companies
too, should be required to exercise every
care and precaution in keeping the lines
in good order.

as Lucy Dick, dropped dead this morn

Dry Times.

Dry Times.
Although this is the time for the autum-
nal equinox, there is no sign at this writ
ing OF the usual rain and storms. The
long-continued drought still prevails, and
the country is very dry. Springs and
streams are very low, wells are going dry
and cisterns are becoming empty. The
Potomac is very low and the canal hasn't
water enough in it to float fully loaded
boats. The weather bureau said that we
would have rain the latter part OF this
week, but this morning there is not a
cloud in sight.

A good many persons in Shepherds
town are becoming pronounced in their
opinion that the town should by law ban
ish hogpenS from the corporate limits.
II is believed that these evil-Smelllng
places are a menace to the health OF the
community, and they should not be per-
mitted to pollute the air. tits impossible,
of course, to keep them clean, and the
only way to prevent the nuisance, it is
argued, is to forbid hogpens from being
maintained in the town. Just at this time
there are some very rank places here.
The fact that there are at present
number of cases of typhoid fever in Shep-
herdstown, when this disease visits ouI
community very seldom, should cause ar
investigation of conditions here. We
have heard number OF persons express
the opinion during the past week or two
that the town board of health shonld take
steps looking to remedy for the trouble
A searching investigation should be made
by those who are in authority and upor
whom the people depend for protection
in such matters. tits evident that some.
thing is wrong, and the sooner we dis,
cover what it is, the better. We hope
that the board of health will get busy
The matter is serious one, and neglec
or indifference should not prevent a com
prehensive inquiry into the cause OF S,
