Baseball.

Baseball.
A game OF baseball-well, you could
hardly call it a game-waS played here
last Saturday between the Shepherd COL
lege team and party of youngsters from
the Boyce High School. The score was
"a to 4 in favor OF Shepherd College.
The visitors never had look-in. Their
pitcher took so long to wind up his arm
that base-runners ambled along at will,
and though almost every man in the team
was put in the box, there was no stop
ping the procession. The game was too
tame to afford good roofing, even.
Yesterday we played an interesting
game with ST. James School, which the
visitors won by score OF three TO Moth
ing. Graham for st. James and Garfield
for Shepherd College pitched splendidly,
but the visitors won by doing better field
ing. II was good, clean game, and en-
ioyable to see, even if we did lose. Shep-
herd College has never had a better
pitcher than Garfield.
Saturday Shepherd College will play
the Waynesboro Pa High School team.
Game called at O'Clock, admission 10
cents. Everybody attend.

Young Lady Burned to Death.

Miss Cora Bonham, daughter of Mrs.
Hattie c. Bonham, living near Summit
Point, was so badly burned last Monday
at noon that she died the same night at
s o'clock. Miss Bonham was preparing
dinner, and while standing with her back
to the kitchen stove her dress caught fire.
With much presence OF mind she ran
upstairs and wrapped herSelfin a blanket,
but il did not avail. MeSSrs. Harry p.
Light and Charles Ashwood, who were
doing some carpenter work nearby, went
to Miss Bonham's assistance and were
also painfully burned. After sustaining
the fatal burns, Miss Bonham walked TO
her room. DR.. Davis, OF Summit Point,
and DR.. Skinner, OF Charles Town, we're
summoned, but realized there was no
earthly hope. The unfortunate young
lady, realizing that the end was near, gave
all OF her people last farewell and peace
fully passed away. She was daughter
of the late George Bonham, and is sur
vived by her mother, Mrs. Mamie Bon
ham, and three brothers, William, living
near Berryville; Frank, near Baltimore;
and Isaac, at home.

Struck By Lightning.

One OF the worst thunder storms that
has ever passed over this town prevailed
Monday evening between five and six
o'clock. The air was so full of electricity
that the lightning fairly sizzled. Flash
after flash Illuminated the heavens, to be
followed instantly by appalling crashes
of thunder. Wherever there were wires
for telephones or electric lights they snap
ped and cracked, and in some houses it
appeared as if balls of fire were flying
around.
In the height of the storm lightning
struck the Westinghouse of Mr.. New
ton VanMetre at the south edge OF town.
The bolt hit the house at one of the Chin
neys and shattered the roof. The light
ming seemed to 60 down both sides of
the roof, splintering several rafters and
knocking big holes through the states,
which were scattered in every direction.
The family were greatly alarmed. The
house was filled with smoke and SCOT
blown from the chimney and it was
thought that it was afire. Fortunately,
however, this was not the case. George
VanMetre ran to the garnet, and though
it was very hot, there was no fire. The
rain coming in through the holes in the
roof added to the discomfort, and caused
some further damage. II is probable that
a new roof will have to be placed on that
wing of the house The loss is covered
by insurance with Harrison Schley. This
is the second experience Mr.. VanMetre's
family has had with lightning. house in
which they were living having been struck
some years ago.
The electricity drove the telephone OPP
orators from their post in the exchange
here for time. A number OF phones
were put out OF commission by the light
ming. There was also some temporary
trouble with electric lights.

A band OF desperate looking fellows were
encamped at the fair grounds for acouple
of days, and are said to answer the de-
scription of the Virginia murderers. One
of them was in c. D. Keplinger's shop
buying meat, and Mr.. Keplinger saw
steel breast plate or corset that he was
wearing. One witness testified the past
week that Sidna Allen wore a steel corset
when they shot up the court at Hillsville.
George Woodfork, a highly respected
colored man OF Kearneysville, died sud-
denly at his home in that place last Thurs
day evening. He for years had been
employed by c. E. Jones in the latter's
orchards. On Thursday Woodfork went
in to supper in his usual good health and
ate hearty meal. He then sat down in
an easy chair and started to light his pipe.
Throwing up both hands and exclaiming,
lord, have mercy" he fell over dead.
Death was due to heart disease. He was
about go years OF age.

has turned over to the State tax commits
sioner check for 81 ,34l 20 as the amount
of the inheritance tax due from the estate
of Miss Brown, which was valued at
$2S,7401l. The estate was distributed
among nieces, nephews and brother, J..
M. D. Brown, the latter getting 81, 7OO02,
and the nieces and nephewS a total OF
$23 ,950.09. The tax on the amount that

From time to time the Register has been
solicited to publish free advertisements
for the philadelphia School for Nurses"
in the city named, but we have never
done SO because we were suspicious OF
the establishment. We are now in receipt
OF letter from DR.. W. S. Higbee, OF
Philadelphia, in which he states that this
alleged school for nurses is absolutely
condemned by the State Board, and we
are asked to warn young women to have
nothing to do with it. They will only be
deceived if they spend any time or mon
ey upon il.

STORMS CAUSE DAMAGE.

Twcnty-six persons arc known tc
have been killed and many injured b!
a storm that passed over central
west Missouri late Saturday dcmollSi1-
inc buildings, tearing down wires. ano
leaving the smaller towns and country
homes completely wrecked.
A rain and wind storm, almost am
ounting to tornado, swept central
Ohio yesterday, causing two deaths
hundreds homeless, and do
ing monetary damage estimated al
more than 100000.
The storm reached it's greatest force
at GAINESVILLE, where two were killed
when the steepIc of St. Thomas Cath,
Ole Church crashed through the ROOF
as the morning services were being
held.
Many persons were drowned ycStcr'

"May we spurn contentment as
long as there are wrongs to be rlghted
loads to be lifted, sores to be healed,
errors to be remedied, diseases to be
avoided, slaves to be set free and in
Justice to De eradicated. Fill our souls
abundantly with pity for the Cypress

Make us keen to ask why eager to be

and ready to suffer for it. Permeate
our souls with divine discomfort and
righteous rebellion.
Strengthen within US the spirit OF

against the wrong until the great re-
volution shall come to free men and
women from their letters and enable
them to be good and kind and noble

WHAT A CONTRAST!

With the Democratic National con-
vention only week away what n
contrast is shown between the scene
at Baltimore and the one at Chicago.
IN the latter city the most disgrace
full proceedings that the American
public ever witnessed have been go
ing on for ten days with increasing
bitterness and hatred, and we will be
surprised if the police force of Chlcag"
is not called out TO qu"ll a riot be-
tween the adhercnts of the president
of the United States and the expires
ident, the latter being on the scene
of action and by his intemperatc re-
marks cgging on his followers to
deeds of violence.
In Baltimore Harmon, Wilson, Clark
and Underwood have set up their
headquarters, with their boomers on
the ground. But nobody is calling amy
body else Il liar. The "short and
ugly word" is not in the Baltimore vo-
cabulary. Those in the rival camps
exchange visits as il they were the
tents of generals in the same service,
rivals in seeking the chef command,
but all ready for united service under
the same flag. The corrupt po'tl-
clans" the "thicvcs,' and GLARS the
"blutfcrs." "dcmagogues," and "rab-
bic rousers," must be herded in Chi
cago. Ono hears nothing of them IN
the Monumental City.
That does not mean that there is not
going to be a genuine contest in Bal
timore. 1t promises to be the big
gcst convention in history, with plenty
of thrills and exciting evcnts-and
surprises. But the spirit that prevails
is entirely different from that at Chi
cago. Harmony with a big II broods
over the Democracy. The party seems
to have entered upon an era of good
feeling
