The music is said TO possess the
sweetest melody ever welded TO a
song-a fact readily seen in trying
over the above strains. although. OF
course the fine harmony is lacking,
because space prohibits the entire ex-
tract.

songs that appealed to women, among
these: You Are the Ideal of NV
Dreams" "All That Ask is Love"
and kindred works; but none is said
TO possess the lasting quality of the

fifteen different classical harmonies,

ora pike, and In a short time the build
ing and contents were in ashes. en-
failing loss estimated at from $500

Thomas Wolford, of Jones Spring The
building was two-story frame struc-
ture with metal roof. and having a
large shed on one side in which were
stored about 1000 apple barrels ready

spENcER's SALOON
HAS BEEN CLOSED

Judge keedy Revokes License Of sa-
loon Keeper Across Potomac River
From tsarpers Ferry As Result Of
Petition Claiming That spencer's
Place Mas Nuisance And A Men
ace to the Morals Of the Community
Judge Keedy, at Hagerstown. Thurs
day afternoon. revoked the license of
Albertus Spencer, who conducted a
saloon at lock SO on the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal. across the Potomac
river from EEarpers Ferry.
The case was taken up Wednesday
morning and numerous witnesses,
both for the plaintiff and the defen-
dant, were examined. Attorney I. A.
poffenberger. represented the petit
TONER, Randolph Preacher. and w. ]
Witzenbacher and Ernest Hoffman
were attorneys for Spencer,
While the testimony. in the main.
had to do with the general character
Of the place kept by Spencer, yet
much OF II had reference to the bloody
fight at Spencer's on July ath In which
two men. one an Italian laborer In the
Quarries at MillviI.e. above Harpers
Ferry. and the other a colored b. &
O. detective at Harpers Ferry. subse-
quently died from wounds.
For the past year Spencer's place
has been much frequented By people
from Martinsburg, Charles Town and
other points around that have been
''dry." and drunkenness and crime
have been of common occurrence at
the notorious drinking place. Finally
some OF the good citizens on the Mary
land side OF the river took the matter
in hand and a petition was circulated
In the neighborhood. setting forth that
Spencer's place was nuisance In tho
community and praying the court that
| II be closed up. This has now been
done by the decision OF Judge Keedy
and all good people who know any
thing about the conditions and circum-
stances of the case will heartily re-
joice.
Judge Keedy, in giving his decision,
stated that although some of the wit
nesses testified that the saloon was
conducted IN an orderly manner, the
testimony was overwhelming that the
drunkenness. gambling and immoral
conduct In that vicinity was due d.
rectly to the existence OF this saloon.
and the place had become a nuisance
to the community.
The Maryland law states that the
saloon must be closed Immediately af-
ter the lcence Is revoked.
