NARROW ESCAPE AT
GRADE CROSSING

A couple of young people in an au-
tomobile had a narrow escape from
death or serious injury at the cross
ing of the quarry switch, on East Ste
phen street, extended. last night.
They were coming down from Berke-
ley Place and an engine and cars
were coming from the quarry, with a
II in front of the engine, thus hid
~ the headlight; so they did no
notice the train until it was almost
upon them and it was only through
good fortune that they escaped from
serious injury and probable death.
The crossing on East Stephen
street is one of the most dangerous
in the city as the number of people
crossing there is increasing every day
and there is no warning signal of any
sort there. There have been a num-
Der of narrow escapes here and the
City Council and Board of Affairs
should look into this matter and see
that the railroad installs and keeps
up either an electric bell or some 9TH
or precautionary device that will pro-
tect the life of the users of this street.

THE ENROLMENT
VERY GRATIFYING

The Martnsburg business College
has made a most suspicious beginning
When the doors were opeped MonGay
morning, more than fifty students
were present and all enrolled ard emit
cred upon their work.
One surprising feature of the enroll
ment is that every student is from
Berkeley county which is evidence
that the young men and women of
he county are interested in securing
an education that will best fit them
FOR their chosen fields of labor.
There are two sessions daily day
ana night. At the latter session the
lady students are in the majority,
but the gentlemen predominant at the
day sessions. Taking the student
body as a whole it is about evenly
divided between the sexes.
All Of the furniture and other equip
ment for the school have arrived and
been placed in position. Everything
is new ma up-to-date and the rooms
have a Eight CHEEKY appearance and
the surroundings are such as to be
conductive to effective work
The commercial department is in
charge of Principal Gerald Dev9uX,
and Miss Louise Ortman is the teach
or of the short hand department. Both
departments are we'll filled with stud
ents. ana the prospects for a larger
enrolment are very promising.

ANNIVERSARY or
ANNIVERSARY or
NOTABLE BATTLE
Fifty Years Ago Today the Battle of
South Mountain Was
Fought
NOTABLE BATTLE
ouqht

Washington, D. G., Sept l4-Fifty
years ago today the national capital
was anxiously awaiting news Of the
outcome Of the great battle that wss
being fought by the Union and Confed
crate armies ar South Mountain, less
than fifty miles distant from Washing
ton. This battle was really the de
cisive one Of the Maryland campaign
and led to the great fight at Antietam
three days later.
South Mountain is spur OF the
Blue Ridge range, extending north OF
the Potomac from Harper's Ferry
There are two passes through the
mountains, one known as Turner's
gap and the other as Champions gap
The first named affords a passage
from Frederick to Williamsport while
Champions gap, few miles to the
south, gives a similar opening 10 Har.
per's Ferry.
General Lee, after the victory at
Bull Run on August 30. had crossed
the Potomac and invaded Maryland.
A few days later he divided his forces
sending "Stonewall" Jackson to cap
turc Harper's Ferry. To relieve iiar-
pers Ferry. Gen Mcclellan ordered
Gen Franklin through Champions
gap. The remainder Of the Federal
army was to pass through Turner's
gap and fall upon Gen. Lees main col
umn.
Gen. d. II, Hill. of the Confederate
forces succeeded in reaching Turner'S
gap before the Federals The Confed-
crate General McLaws likewise sue
ceeded in getting into position at
Champions gap. The battles % the
14th were fought to wrest these posi-.
tions from the Confederates.
As Gen. Lees object in occupying
and holding these positions to delay
the Federal advance until the capture
of Harpers Ferry and the concentra-
tion of his forces, they were held ten
aciously. Gen. HILL reinforced by
Iourstreet's corps. succeeded in hold
ing Turner's gap until the day was
ended Gen. Franklin forced Cramp-
tons gap late in the afternoon but n3t
sooa enough to relieve Harpers F9"rF
This important point fell into the
hands of the Confederates and Gen.
Lee was unable to unite his forces Ct
thu battle of Antietam.
