Mrs. Dandridge's New Book.


Mrs. Danske cambridge, who has done
so much excellent work in preserving the
annals of Shepherdstown, and whose re-
cent books, George Michael Bedinger"
and "Historic Shepherdstown," have
proven so popular and so valuable, has
now in press another volume, American
Prisoners OF the Revolution" which will
be out in two or three weeks. This is an
account of some of the American prison.
ers who suffered in British prisons during
the Revolution. II is, in part, compila-
ton from many sources; from unpubliSh-
ed Mss. from personal narratives; from
contemporary letters and periodicals, and
from histories Of time. A great many
cruel deeds were done, and crimes were
committed that havelong lain in obscurity.
The writer has presented to the public
this compendium of facts that have been
collected about the prisons and prisoners,
with the object of reviving the memory
OF these martyrs to the cause OF American
independence, that their sufferings may
be commiserated and their patriotism re-
ceive due honor. They were faithful un-
to death, and have too long been forgot
ten by their countrymen. While this
book is of more general than local inter
est, nevertheless it has Shepherdstown
flavor, and Our people will be interested
in it. The price will be three dollars.

Martinsburg for Temperance Reform

MartinSburg for Temperance Reform.
We are glad to note that the people OF
our neighboring town of Martinsburg are
now thoroughly awakened to the great
evil of intemperance and the open liquor
saloon. The awful condition of drunken
ness that prevailed during the recent
holidays brought matters to climax, and
the people have set themselves to the
task Of reforming the community if pos
sible. At a meeting of the city council
last Thursday night petitions were pre-
sented praying for the submission of the
local option question to the vote Of the
people at a special election. A petition
oflegal voters contained 53S signatures,
another of women of the city had $50
signers, and one OF minors was signed by
500. The council was addressed by A.
c. Nadenbousch, John Hetzel, Alex.
Clohan, Rev. J. Paul Wright and others,
and it was unanimously agreed to submit
the question of license or no license at a
special election to be held as soon as ar
rangements can be made. Council also
started on its way an ordinance increas-
ing the license for saloons from $3.50 10
$1,000 year.
There is very strong feeling in favor
of eliminating the saloons from Martins
burg, and the temperance people will
make an earnest and active campaign as
soon as the date for the election is set.
1t now up to Charles Town TO start the
temperance ball rolling

A Splendid Concert.

The concert by Creatore'S Band in the
college auditorium Tuesday afternoon was
all that was expected, and those who
heard this splendid aggregation of must
Clans were charmed with the superb rem
dition of an altogether delightful pro-
gramme. A large audience was present
and showed full appreciation of the splen-
did music. Every number was encored,
and the great leader and his magnificent
band could not but be nleaSed with the
enthusiastic applause that greeted the
performance. No such band has ever
been heard in ShepherdStown before,
and the people, who were more than
pleased, will long remember Tuesdays
concert. The selections were classical
numbers from the most eminent compo-
sers OF the world, and were played with
perfect skill and marvellous harmony
While every number was thoroughly en-
loyed, those that seemed to please the
audience best were the sextette from
"Lucia di Lamermoor," the grand selec-
ton from Carmen" and the cornet solo
from Bohemian Girl" II was very
magnificent concert and pleasing in every
particular.

waterworks Question Again.

H. c. Brooks, OF the H. c. Brooks
Company, Clarksburg, w. Va, and L. H.
Thompson, Of Martinsburg, werein Shep-
herdstown a few days ago conferring with
the town authorities upon the subject of
system OF waterworks for this place.
Mr.. Brooks is manager of the company
that reconstructed the water system of
Martinsburg, and is now putting in an ex-
tensive addition TO the Clarksburg plant,
besides having other large contracts on
hand. His company is an enterprising
and reliable one, we are informed, and
amply able to handle large business af-
fairs. After going over the situation here
he expressed the belief that a system
could be profitably installed, and at his
request the town council on Monday night
appointed committee to take charge OF
the matter and consider franchise which
he is TO have prepared. The committee
was composed of Mayor Martin, ]. L.
Welshans, T. A. Carter and F. L. Weltz-
heimer.
Mr.. Brooks, we understand, regards
the river as the most feasible source of
supply, and proposes to draw water from
this stream and from al elevated reser-
voir or stsndpipe distribute if throughout
the town. He has had much experience
in the establishment of waterworks, and
is a practical and competent man in this
line. This town needs water very badly,
and we are sure that our people will give
him and his company every encourage
ment. We hope that he may speedily
mature plans and put them in execution.

DespicabIe Vandalism.

A piece of vandalism that is as deprav-
ed as it is inexplainabIe has manifested
itself in this county recently in the des-
ecration of the monuments erected by the
Confederate Veterans as battlefield
markers. II will be recalled that num-
Der of these monuments were erected a
few months ago and placed at points in
the county where engagements took
place during the Civil War. Within the
past three or four weeks some unknown
person has been throwing these markers
from their bases, three along the turn
pike between Shepherdstown and Kear-
neysville having been so treated. Ii is
not known what daStardly wretch is do
ing this work, but it is quite likely that
he will be discovered, when he will be
punished to the limit. The Jefferson
County Camp will give liberal reward
for information leading to the arrest Of
the vandalS.

bers OF the family should desire to sell the
home to any individual member OF the

Stephen B. Elkins, Jr., and the Davis

That New Railroad Station.

We understand that plans for hand
some new station at Shenandoah Junction
have been prepared by the Norfolk &
Western Railway for the joint use of this
road and the B. & o. Railroad, but
that there has been no arrangement made
for beginning the work as yet. We hope
that the project will not be long delayed,
for the travelling public certainly deserves
something better than the wretched shack
that has so long been an eyesore and
place of discomfort. The N. & w. man
agement has shown most progressive
spirit during the past year or two, as evil
denced by the very handsome new pas
senger stations built at Shepherdstown,
Luray, Berryville and other points along
its lines, and the B. & o. should fall in
with its plans for creditable union sta
tions at Shenandoah Junction. No place
on either road need station more.

It Was Some Windy.


The oldest inhabitant doesn't remem-
Der a fiercer wind storm than that which
ragged over this section last Sunday night.
Sunday was comparatively mid, and be-
tween seven and eight O'Clock shower
of rain, accompanied by several flashes
ofligntning, prevailed. About ten o'clock
at night the wind, which had been from
the south and southwest, veered around,
and from the northwest there came howl
ing gale such as is seldom experienced
in this valley, usually so amply protected
by the encirciing mountains. The wind
seemed a thing alive, as it shrieked and
howled and tore at buildings and trees.
Through the whole night it kept up a
continuous performance, and most folks
in the community were kept awake all
night, many persons arising and dressing
so as to be prepared for whatever might
happen. Fortunately, little or no dam
age was done. The wind storm was a
general one throughout the country.
