We Leave The League.

AT a meeting OF the directors OF the
Shepherdstown baseball club Tuesday
night Il was decided to withdraw from
the Western Maryland League. The
team has not been able TO keep up a
standard that il had hoped for, owing TO
the fact that it has been disappointed in
several players, and the expenses have
been greater than the managers antici-
pated. II was therefore decided to quit
a losing game. The team will not en-
tirely disband, however, and it is ex-
pected that we will still have a number
OF good games this summer.
Tuesday we played with MartinSburg
our last League game, and the visitors
toyed with us and enjoyed themselves
thoroughly over our funny performance.
II must be conceded that our lineup was
trifle weak, and we didn't have look
in at any time. The score was 9 TO ? in
favor of MartinSburg.
Last Saturday we had practice game
with the Harper'S Ferry team, defeating
the visitors by score of 10 10 6. The
Harper's Ferry boys had but one run
until the 9th inning, when they took fresh
courage and got in five tallies.

entered the Realms of Rest.

Mr.. Charles T. Butler, son of the late
DR.. c. T. V. S. Butler and of Mrs. Bette
Butler, of Shepherdstown, died in the
hospital in Charles Town last Saturday
morning. His death was unexpected to
his family and friends here, who were
greatly shocked at his sudden passing
away. For several years past Mr.. But
Ter had been manager Of the Charles
Town Free Press. His health having
been impaired for some time past, on
June 18th he went to the hospital in that
place, with the hope of recuperating.
He had been getting along fairly well,
and arrangements had been made for
having him take rest of several months
at a sanitarium at Laurel, Md. Last Sat-
urday morning he was able to walk about
his room, but suddenly collapsed, and in
a few moments il was seen that he was
in extremity. His mother and sisters in
Shepherdstown were telephoned for, and
w. T. McQuilkin hastily took them to
Charles Town in his automobile. They
reached the hospital too late to see him
alive, however, as he had expired about
ten minutes before they arrived.
Mr.. Butler, who was "a years OF age,
spent most OF his life in Shepherdstown,
where he had many friends who deplore
his death. When young man he en-
tered the service of the Register, having
tondness for newspaper work, and later
was associated in the publication OF the
Independent with his father and the late
Jacob Wintermoyer. He was also for a
time manager OF the Berkeley Springs
News, and for several years past con-
Quoted the Charles Town free Press.
He was young man OF many excellent
traits OF character, and though always Of
delicate health, he kept at work as long
as he could physically endure. He is
survived by his wife, his mother and two
sisters, Misses Elizabeth and Eleanor
Butler.
The funeral was held from Trinity
Episcopal Church, in this place, Monday
afternoon, the service being conducted
by the rector, Rev. c. E. A. Marshall,
and the body was inferred in Elmwood
Cemetery. The pallbearers were Geo.
D. Moore, DR.. T. A. Ramey and Geo.
M. Beltzhoover, Jr., of Charles Town,
DR.. N. Burwell, DR.. Hopkins Gibson,
Samuel J. Hodges, w. T. McQuilkin, J.
H. Hill, of Shepherdstown.
Among those from Charles Town at
tending the funeral were Mr.. and Mrs. J.
Shirley Smith and Conrad R. Smith, Mr..
and Mrs. r. w. Alexander, Walter Alex
ander. Capt. and Mrs. H. c. Getzendan-
ner, Thornton T. Perry, Mrs. Tayloe
Perry, Miss Ellen Craighill, Robert L.

Shaken By An Earthquake.

Mrs. Lynn Magruder, OF Kearneysville,
has received a letter from her son, D. n.
Magruder, in which he tells OF the recent
earthquake shock in San Francisco. He
says:
Since writing to you last night, had
one of the most awful shocks that ever
had. Only an hour ago, when | was
writing away on the typewriter. all at
once there was an awful shock and !
thought one of the elevators here in the
building had fallen down. The shock
knocked me off of the chair, and then
there came another shock, and | knew
what it was. Tine building where | am
nearly went down. don't think | ever
was so frightened in my life. The build
ing Swayed nearly five inches, and as it
is eleven stories high, you can believe
me | don't want TO be in another one
ike this. There were three shocks, and
the last one did the dirty work. The Pa
'cific building, one OF the finest buildings
in this city, parted and nearly went over
II and many other buildings are out Of
plumb. Up on Post street are two build
ingS together, one is hanging one way
and the other one is hanging the other
way. II would not take much to push
them both over. can see from the win
dow bricks, plaster and concrete, and
one building on Market street had big
piece OF marble broken off of one OF the
pillars. If anything else happens will
give you all of the news, but think that
the danger is over now.
