Stormy Times.

Stormy Times.
Jupiter Fulminator Pluvius, Old Man
Boreas, Willis Moore and other we'll
known thinkers with the weather have
been playing high iinkS the past week,
and the storms that have been expert
enced here and in other sections of the
country have been terrifying and de-
structive. Last Saturday evening fear
full thunderstorm prevailed over Jefferson
county. There was not much rain, but
the lightning and thunder were incessant.
For over an hour the sky was streaked
continuously with fierce flashes OF light
ming and there was not a moment when
heavens artillery was not crashing and
reverberating and rolling in awe-inSpir-
ing volumes. Considering the fiercenesS
of the electric display, it is marvellous
that there was not more damage done.
Two storms, one from the east and one
from the southwest, seem to have met
here, and the combination caused a black
ness of clouds and an electrical energy
that we have seldom seen equalled.
The heaviest damage in this section
was the destruction of the large bank
barn on !. B. Osboun'S farm between
Duffields and Shenandoah Junction. The
barn was struck by lightning about 7
o'clock and set afire. None of Mr.. OS-
bourn's family noticed the blaze until
Ned Athey and Will Hines, OF this place,
who were waiting at Shenandoah juno
ton, saw the flames and ran to the scene.
The structure was then burning fiercely,
but the two young men succeeded in res
cuing two horses that were in their stalls,
and almost had the third horse out when
it fell and could not get up. This horse
was burned TO death, as was also a calf.
A number of farming implements, lot OF
harness, some feed and other things were
burned with the barn. The barn was a
very substantial structure, and the total
loss will reach about $3.50, with ST 900
insurance.
Other effects of the storm were two
cattle belonging to w. T. Elliott, near
Kearneysville, killed by lightning, and a
horse belonging to R. F. TruSsell, near
Halltown, lost its life the same way. The
house OF County Commissioner N. K.
Roberts at Middleway was struck by
lightning and shattered, Mr.. Roberts being
slightly shocked by the discharge. The
dwellings of Miss Ella Johnson at Mid
deway, Geo. M. Myers, at Summit Point,
and ]. B. McCauley, at Ransom, were
also struck by lightning and slightly
damaged.
Seven sheep belonging TO James E.
Tabb, OF Leetown, were struck by light
ming and killed. AT Leetown the dwelling
of John Gardner was struck by lightning
and his little son was shocked.
John Fries, a youth 10 years old, was
blowing in a field in Frederick county,
Va, when bolt OF lightning killed both
him and his horse.
The storm caused some damage to the
lines of the Martinsburg Power Com
pany, the wires being burned out near
Dam No. 4. II is said that the electrical
display was most startling when the cur
rent was crossed. Shepherdstown was
in darkness Saturday night and Sunday
night the lights were very dim, but they
were all right by Monday.
Monday was another stormy day, a
severe storm passing over this way at D
O'Clock in the morning and one or two
again in the afternoon.

Land Purchased for Shepherd College.

The State Board of Control of West
firginia this week finally consummated
the purchase for Shepherd College of the
property owned by the Line heirs adjoin-
Ing that institution. The lot fronts 2ll
feet on Princess street and 242 on High
street, and is Immediately east OF the
present college property, which will now
extend in an even line from Kingto Prin-
cess streets. The price paid was S, 800,
and the money was paid to T. B. Line on
Monday. The negotiations have been
pending for over year, the Legislature
having appropriated the money in 1909.
M. Line will remove the old buildings
from the property, and will erect new
home for himself and his sisters on their
lot adjoining the land sold. This prop
erty has been in the Line family for sew
eral generations. Many years ago an ex-
tensive tannerY was operated there by
the late Jacob Line, and some OF the
ruins OF the tannery building are still
standing. Three very old frame dwell
ings stand along Princess street, which
have been used as residences.
This addition 10 the property OF the
normal school will be a very desirable
one, and when improved will add greatly
to its utility and beauty, and will also al
ford an excellent site for new dormi-
tory that it is hoped will be provided for
by the next Legislature. The lot slopes
gently from the college grounds, from
which it will be separated by a terrace,
and the removal OF some OF the trees and
bushes and the old buildings will give a
beautiful view Of the rear OF the college
building, which is almost as handsome as
the front. There is fund for the grad
ing and improving OF the lot, which will
doubtless be judiciously spent under the
direction OF the board. A beautiful little
park can readily be made, which will not
only be valuable addition to the schools
grounds, but will be enjoyed by the peo-
pie of the community as well. The town
run flows through the newlY-acquired
ground, and this can be made most at
tractive feature. The school officers and
students generally rejoice that this pur-
chase has at last been conSummated.

Another Victim.

One evening last week Bud Hilliard, OF
Page county, Va, was struck and killed
by N. & w. passenger train No. IA mile
or two south of Charles Town. 1t was
another tragedy directly traceable to the
saloons. The unfortunate man, who
was IS years Of age, had been to Charles
Town and filled up with liquor, and was
walking along the railroad track in an in
toxicated condition when the train struck
him and sent him into eternity.

June Weddings.

Mr.. Lawrence Moore Lynch, of New
York, formerly of Chattanooga, Tenn.
and Miss Louise Anna Snyder, eldest
daughter of Mr.. H. L. Snyder, publisher
of the Register, were married yesterday
evening at half after seven o'clock at the
home of the bride in this place. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. c. H.
Hockey, of Waynesboro, Pa, formerly
pastor OF the Lutheran Church of this
place, and was attended by only few
near friends.
The youthful bride looked very sweet
and beautiful in a handsome gown OF
white satin, with veil, while the groom
appeared at his best in full evening dress.
The only attendant was her sister, Miss
Rose Snyder, as the wedding was very
simple one, though the full Episcopal
service was used. Miss Amanda Titus
played the wedding march as announce
ment that the ceremony was TO begin,
and pretty girls, college friends OF the
bride, stretched ropes of crimson rambler
roses between which the bride and groom
entered the parlor. The ceremony was
impressive and beautiful and dignified,
and the occasion was one not soon to be
forgotten by those who were there.
After the wedding ceremony had been
performed reception was held, which
was attended by large number of per-
sons from the town and community, as
well as many from other places. The
guests were agreeablY entertained, and
the evening was one of much enjoyment.
The house was beautifully decorated with
crimson rambler roses, lilies and field
daisies, and with the pretty girls and ma
irons beautifully alfred presented a scene
Of rare loneliness. After the reception
Mr.. and Mrs. Lynch drove TO Shenandoah
Junction and took the Duquesne limited for
New York, where they will make their
home. The groom, who is a graduate Of
Washington and Lee University, is dis
trict superintendent for the Bell telephone
system in New York. The happy young
couple will have the good wishes OF many
friends here and elsewhere.
The bride was the recipient OF many
beautiful presents, including dainty and
artistic things in cut glass, handsome sill
yer, brass and bronze, useful things in
fine linen, etc.
