Big Fire at Charles Town.

The plant of the Jefferson Cooperage
Company at Charles Town, OF which w.
A. Higgs was the principal owner, was
completely destroyed last Saturday night
by fire that broke out about 9 o'clock
The buildings were offrame and filled with
infammable material for the making OIL
barrels, this causing a brilliant conflagra-
ton that illuminated the skies and caused
the reflection to be seen for many miles
around. twas plainly visible from Shep-
herdstown. The buildings were COM
pletely destroyed, together with stock in
hand and some manufactured barrels
The firemen made an effort TO save the
property. but the nearest water-plug was
a long distance away and the pressure
was so low as to be almost useless. II
is thought that the fire originated in the
engine-room, but some persons think
that an incendiary might have started it.
The loss is given as $4,000, on which II
is said there is an insurance OF $4,000
II is announced tn at the plant will be al
once rebuilt, as the company has orders
on hand for $1,000 barrels. The cooper
age works were located along the bell
line, at the northwest end OF town.

Fatal Accident At Harper's Ferry.

A very distressing accident occurred at
Harper's Ferry last Monday afternoon,
resulting in the death of William F. Stu
art, well-known resident of that place
and proprietor Of livery stable. Mr..
Stuart had gone to the depot TO meet
his wife, who had been in Cumberland
and was expected to arrive on train No.
6, due at 3.l2. He reached the station
some time before the train was due, and
went across the river on the railroad
bridge to Spencer's liquor saloon on the
Maryland side TO get some liquor, it is
said, for sick child. Returning on the
same bridge he was struck by the engine
OF passenger train No. 5, running at a
high rate of speed, and was thrown into
the river some fifty feet below. The &C
cident was witnessed by number of per-
sons, who were Mortified at the dreadful
sight, and several boats were hastily
rowed out into the stream where the
body had fallen. The unfortunate man
had been instantly killed, however, and
no sign of life remained. The body was
taken ashore and removed to his late
home. The accident cast a gloom over
the whole community, where Mr.. Stuart
was very popular, and was dreadful
shock TO his wife who was expecting him
to meet her at the depot. The deceased
was a good citizen, and sober, exem-
plary man, respected by all who knew
him. He was about 40 years old. Sur
viving him are his wife and four children.
He was buried yesterday from his late
home.
Three m embers of this family have met
violent deaths within the past five years.
A couple Of years ago brother, George
Stuart, shot and killed himselfin Harper's
Ferry, and about five years ago another
brother was killed by the cars in Wash
ington.

Mr.. Rentch Celebrates.

Our venerable ellow-townsman, Dan
iel S. Rentch, ESQ.,, celebrated his nine
tieth birthday on Tuesday, and his SONS
and daughters honored the occasion by
giving him dinner at Sudley Place and
holding a family party in the evening.
He seemed to enjoy the celebration as
much as anyone, although slight indis-
position during the day caused him to be
a bit careful of his diet. A feature OF the
party was a big cake decorated with
ninety candles-a conspicuously rare at
traction. Mr.. Rentch carries his years
extraordinarily well-hiS sight and hear
ing are but little impaired, he is in enjoy
ment of his faculties in every respect, and
his strength of body and mind enables
him to attend to his daily duties as amag-
istrate and citizen. He was born in
Washington county, Nd, but has been a
resident of Shepherdstown for about 81
wears. He is the oldest resident of our
town, and his friends hope that he may
be spared to round out the century mark
! in mental and bodily comfort. He was
the recipient on his birthday OF many
congratulatory messages.

Deaths Call.

Deaths Call.
Charles Robert Stanley, son OF Mr.
and Mrs. Morgan M. Stanley, died Mon
day night about II O'Clock at the home
of his parents near Kearneysville, aged
30 years and days. Mr.. Stanley had
been sick for the past two years with that
dread disease, consumption, and though
he made brave fight against its ravages,
it steadily progressed to the inevitable
end. Last fall he went to North Carolina,
in the hope that he might be benefited,
but though he seemed to get better for a
time, the improvement was but temper
airy, and his brother brought him home
in an erfeebled state. He was patient
and resigned, and awaited the final sum-
mons in confidence that all was well with
him. He was young man OF the most
exemplary habits, and was respected by
all who knew him. His death was the
first break in the family circle, and brings
great sorrow 10 the household. Surviv-
ing him are his parents, six brothers and
four sisters. The funeral was held at his
late home yesterday, the service being
conducted by Rev. J. David Miller, OF
the Reformed Church, and the body was
inferred in Elmwood Cemetery.
Mr.. u. M. Page, who had been i'll for
a couple of years from paralysis, died
near Ripon, this county, last week at the
home of his brother, Mr.. John B. Page.
The deceased, who was 81 years of age,
was native of Fauquier county, Va. He
was a Confederate veteran, having joined
Mosby's battalion during the Civil War
when but boy and served CALAMITY
throughout the great conflict.

Recital Next Monday Night.

Recital Next Monday Night.
A sacred song and organ recital will be
given in the Lutheran Church in Shep-
herdstown next Monday evening, August
18th, at s o'clock, by Miss Bula Ray Shull,
OF Norfolk, Va, and Miss Lillian Myers,
of York, Pa. This will be one of the
most enjoyable events OF the year, as
both Miss Shull and Miss Myers are MUS
icaI artists Of the highest order, and it is
a fortunate coincidence that they are
visiting in Shepherdstown at the same
time. Miss Myers is organiSt of Trinity
Reformed Church in York, where she
uses the finest pipe organ in the city.
That her selections on the excellent pipe
organ in the Lutheran Church here will
be enjoyed is assured, for number of
persons have heard and appreciated her
music heretofore. Miss Shull is con-
tralto soloist whose full, rich voice is
remarkable one, and those who heard
her here last year during home coming
week will be glad of another opportunity
to enjoy her songs. She is the leading
soloist in Epworth Church and the Jew
ish Temple in Norfolk, and received her
musical education in the New England
Conservatory at Boston.
Arecital by these talented musicians will
be genuine treat to the community, and
the church should be crowded. Awarded
and enjoyable programme will be render
ed. The proceeds are for the fund being
raised to purchase piano for the Luth-
eran Sunday School, and liberal patronage
is hoped for. The admission will be Is
cents.

War In Berkeley County.

There's merry war on in Berkeley
county, all brought ABOUT by that ancient
disturber of human serenity, taxation.
II appears that the board of equalization
and review of Berkeley county put an
increased assessment on some of the or
chard lands of that section, which aroused
much feeling upon the part of the owners
thereof, the increase being strenuously
opposed by the orchardists in general.
Last Thursday an exciting meeting of the
county horticultural association was held,
when some very hard things were said
about the members OF the board of equal
ization and their supporters. The most
lively episode was the reading of the re-
port of a committee composed of Gray
Silver, w. H. Kilmer, H. H. Rutherford
and S. S. Felker, which charged J. A..
Sites andU. w. Stewart Strong, members
of the board, with rank favoritism in as
sessing property. Figures were quoted,
purporting to show that the members OF
the board had their own property and
that Of their friends assessed at a very
low rate, giving a number OF instances Of
alleged determinations. MeSSrs. Sites and
Strong were most severely criticised, and
resolutions were adopted requesting the
Board of Public Works to remove them
from office. The report of the committee
also bitterly assails Postmaster E. c.
Henshaw, of Martinsburg, who is referred
to as "the manager of this triumvirate,
who directs when the other two are in
doubt" He is held up as a tax dodger
of the worst sort and the committee sticks
its knife into him deeply.
Postmaster Henshaw has on former
occasions shown himself to be a fighter,
and he made reply in which he endeav-
orS to show that when it comes to Sdodg-
ing taxes "there are Others" He quotes
from the records figures showing that
Alex. Clohan, president of the horticultu-
raj association, gave in TO the assessor
$50 as the value of his personal property
that is household furniture, etc. Gray
Silver made returns of $3.50, w. H. Kill
mer SIS, S. S. Felker $500, H. H. Ruth
erford $3.50.
The situation is described as being
hot in Berkeley county, and the distur-
bance will have an important bearing on
political affairs as we'll as social and bus
mess relations.
