\The capture of Harper's Ferry, referred
to above, in which the Shepherdstown
company participated, created much eX-
element in this county, as it did, indeed,
through the North and South gener lily.
Captain Barnhart we'll remembers the ap-
proach to the town. AS the Confederate
forces reached Bolivar Heights, on the
way from Halltown, couple of Union
picketS fired shot or two and then fled
in haste to the lower part of the Ferry,
where the arsenal was located. By the
time the Virginia troops arrived on the
scene the great buildings were in flames,
but they had captured this important point
without bloodshed. From paper sent
Observer only few days ago by Joseph
Bosler, ESQ.,, of Carlisle, Pa, some in
teresting details of this event are cleaned.
The prompt seizure OF this important
stragetic point-leSS than sixty miles from
Washington, and at the gateway of the
mountain pass to the great west-showed
the native military capacity of the Viz
ginians. The State had seeded only on
the 18th. Acting on the established the
DRY that federal posts were State proper
ty, several of the leading men who had
been drawn by the crisis TO Richmond
planned in advance of the States seces-
sion to move on Harper's Ferry as soon
as the State had left the Union. Former
Governor Henry A. Wise was at the
head Of the movement, which was hastl-
Iy but effectively organized on the night
of the 10th.
On the 18th various militia companies
were under arms in Staunton, Charlottes-
vile, and other towns, and moving to-
ward Winchester and Strasburg, from
which points they could easily reach
Harper'S Ferry in night.
AT the arsenal was guard OF only As

SOME OF the newspapers of West Viz
ginia give as a reason for opposing a
primary election law their fear that for
mer Governor Dawson will be candi-
date for the United States Senate. MI
Dawson has perfect right 10 aspire to
this honor. and we would stake good
deal on the proposition that he would
represent the people of this State more
satisfactorily and be Of greater service to
the country than any other Republican
Senator who has been sent from West
Virginia in recent years.
He may be very astute politician, but
he has never surrendered to the corpor-
ate interests.

NOTES BY OBSERVER.

CAPTAIN H. F. Barnhart, OF Roanoke,
Va, former Shepherdstown boy and a
Confederate veteran, was here recently,
and he expressed his interest In Ooserv-
er's notes OF incidents during the Civil
War. He recalled the fact that on
Tuesday, April the 18th, was the fftleth
anniversary of the day that famous old
Company B, of the Second Virginia Regl-
ment, Stonewall Brigade, marched from
Shepherdstown and began its career as
unit of the immortal Confederate army.
The company assembled on the green IN
front Of the town hall, opposite the pres
ent Register building, and promptly al
noon marched bravelY away, with Cap
tain Vincent Butler in command. A great
crowd was present TO see the boys OIL,
and while there was joking and cheerful
ness outwardly, there were many sinking
hearts, for the premonitionS that some OF
those who left that day would never come
back were only too fatally true. The
company marched to Halltown that April
day, where it joined the other companies
of the splendid Second Regiment. That
same evening the regiment marched to
Harper's Ferry, where the Union troops
were driven out and the government ar
senal captured. Gallant Colonel Allen,
who was killed later in the war, conf
manded the regiment.

In loving remembrance OF our dea
mother, Virginia Mary Lookingblll, who
departed this life Tuesday, March Il
1911. Gone but not forgotten.
Sleep. dear mother, and take your rest
God called you home, He thought II best.
II was hard, true, TO part from thee
But ChrstS strong arms supporteth me.
A dear mother from us has gone.
voice we loved is still,
a place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be llllcd
Dear mother, how can we give you up.
You whom we loved so well2
How can we drink this bitter cup,
And say TO thee Farewell
In the city OF the dead
We have laid thy weary head:
Lay thee in thy bed OF clay,
Till the resurrection day.
Jesus called her and she is gone
Where the shadows never come;
But blessed hope is given,
To meet in heaven our home.
Weep not with angels bright above.
You know no grief nor care,
You dwell in ClOudleSS light and love-
Oh, would that were there.
She is happy Joyous and smiling,
In her new and beautiful home.
Where free from earthly aillIctons,
She is waiting for her loved o mes TO come
Yet again hope TO meet thee,
When the day OF lie is He'd.
And in heaven with JOY TO greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.

One Of the later crimes to be treated in
The North Americans series OF "Penn-
sylvania's Greatest Criminal Mysteries"
is the murder of Christian Ranch, of Par
adiSetownship, Lancaster county. Ranch
was shot by some person hidden in the
cellar OF his home. Some small tracks,
which might have been those of a woman,
were found in the snow the next morn
ing Many arrests were made, but no
evidence could be found against those
persons who were taken into custody,
and all Of them, they being mostly trampS,
were released. One romantic feature of
this crime mystery is that the murder
was committed on Christmas eve and
that all the surroundings Of happy holi-
day scene accompanied the frightful
tragedy. The North American is print
ing one OF these Pennsylvania mysteries
every Sunday. All OF them appear TO be
interesting to general readers, as we'll as
criminal lawyers, and are certainly wor-
thy of preservation as chapters OF GRIM
inal history of the state This story will
appear in the Sunday North American,
April 30, 1911.

The Steel Trust is trying to punish
Congressman Oscar w. Underwood, of
Alabama, chairman of the Democratic
Ways and Means Committee, for his &C
tivity in the cause of tariff reform, by
seeking to make hard times in his State.
Mr. Underwood stated last Friday that
the Steel Trust had closed a number OF
its mills in tine Birmingham manufacture
ing district, throwing 1900 men out Of
employment, and he was informed that
it was done to intimidate him But the
Congressman is not frightened, and he
defies the trust and announces that he
intends to stand by his principles.
The great interests will try to stem the
tide OF tariff reform by fair means or foul,
but we believe that they will fail. The
present tariff is SO utterly rotten that the
people will no longer stand for it, and
though it will be difficult to make the
first breach in the wall, honest and cour-
ageous men will certainly conquer, soon
or late.

WE cannot see why politics should
play any part in the passage or failure OF
primary election law in West Virginia.
Both parties are pledged 10 it, and both
parties would be the better for IFS honest
enforcement. The only persons who
oppose this measure are those who have
a selfish purpose in view or who have a
system of graft under the old system that
they don't want TO lose.
West Virginia ought TO be progress
sive State, but the selfish politicians OF
both parties are clogging every effort for
advancement. Governor GlaSScock has
done right in calling this extra session,
and we hope that the primary election
bill will pass. The people want it and
are bound to have it.

Observer was reminded of another
story of the late George w. Cation. He
lived near the old cement mill, east Of
town, and word having been carried to
Harper'S Ferry to the Union forces then
there that Cation was at home, squad
was sent up the next night to capture
him. They wanted him badly, because
as daring scout he had given the YankS
a great deal OF trouble. They reached
his house during the night, but were not
certain that they were at the right place.
Cation himself answered their knock at
the door, and when they inquired if
George Cation lived there he said no
Caton's house was just over the hill, and
showed them how to get there. care
you trying to capture Cation ?" he asked.
And when they replied that they were,
he said: Good hope you'll get the
big-footed son OF = a gun. He's the
d-deSt rascal in this country" AS
they quietly made their way to the house
he had pointed out, Cation even more
quietly slipped off in another direction,
and was soon in safe retreat. When
the soldiers found how they had been
fooled they returned to the Cation house,
but the bird had flown. They threatened
to burn the house, but later went away.
The next day, as they were returning to
Harper's Ferry, they wanted to hang
some old men who had heard the story
and chaffed them about Cations escape,
but they finally had to laugh themselves
at his cleverneSS.
