Another Landmark Gone.

The last vestige of the old Line house
on Princess street has been torn down
and moved away and although the TIM
bers contained therein are considerably
over hundred years old, they are Still
sound and strong and will be used in the
construction of new building. Robert
g. Miller bought the old house, and part
of the material was sold by him to {. w.
Show. who will erect new house on his
lot along the lower pike. No one now
living has any recollection when the Line
house was built, and it is quite certain
that il was considerably over a hundred
years old One part OF the building was
constructed of heavy logs that are almost
as sound now as the day when they were
hewn, while there were couple OF frame
additions that had been built to the main
structure - possibly one OF these may
have been built before the log part.
While the log house was being demollSn-
ed evidence was revealed that 1t had
once narrowly escaped destruction by
fire. A log that ran alongside the Chin
ney-place had been burned and charred
TO such an extent that it is wonder that
the house was not set afire. When this
occurred is unknown, as Mr.. Line says he
has no recollection OF any trouble OF this
kind, nor had he ever heard anyone speak
of it. The clearing of this lot removes
the last trace of an old industry that once
made it a busy place, and the famous
tannery that was operated there for so
many years is but memory. The prop
ery is owned by the State as a part OF the
Shepherd College grounds, and in short
time, it is hoped, will be converted into
a pretty park that shall be JOY TO the
college folks and a source OF pride to the
whole community.

New Hotel Management.


The Entler Hotel IN Shepherdstown
changed its management yesterday, when
Willis E. Skinner, who has conducted 1t
for several years past, retired and gave
way to Carter & Company, who will
manage it hereafter. In the new manage
ment are John P. and Luther w. Thomp-
son and T. A. Carter. John p. Thomp-
son will be the proprietor, and the others
named will assist in the business in other
capacities. The new managers of the
hotel hope to make il an attraction to the
travelling public as well as comfort and
convenience to the home patrons, and we
believe that they will have OF it popular
hostelry. A number OF Improvements
are contemplated. The corner room and
present lobby will be united, with arch
ways connecting them, thus affordlng
greatly increased space for the office and
patrons. Other features OF interest will
alsoIbe added for the comfort OF the guests.
Particular attention will be given to the
culinary department, which will be in the
hands OF persons experienced in hotel
needs. A fine new livery outfit has been
purchased, including number OF new
and comfortable vehicles and safe, relia-
BILE horses. We commend the new man.
ages of this famous old hotel to our home
people and to the travelling public, and
hope that they may prosper in their en-
terprise.

For a New Sidewalk.

The town authorities and the Board OF
Public Works have had controversy
over the amount to be paid for the laying
OF the new sewer from the corner OF
Princess and High streets to the river.
Mayor Martin managed the work and
made saving of about $222 on the prop
osition. He proposed to use this bal
ance to continue the sewer on up Prin-
cess street, but the Board OF Public Works
declined to pay more than the actual
cost of the work that had been done.
After considerable correspondence on
the subject the board offered to take the
money that had been saved on the new
sewer and use it for the laying OF a new
pavement along the Main street front OF
the college property. AT recent meet
ing of the town council Mayor Martin
recommended that this proposition be
accepted, and the council agreed to it, on
condition that the board begin the work
within thirty days and complete il within
sixty days. The board will doubtless do
this, and thus a happy solution OF the
dispute will be made. The new side
walk is badly needed, and now that fine
pavements are the rule in Shepherds
town, it is well that we have one OF the
best in front of the State property, viii ch
is the riost travelled sidewalk in the
town.

SURVEYORS at Work.

surveyors At WoTk.
The corps of engineers surveying tor
the B. & 0. cutoff through Shepherds
town have established headquarters in
the Jefferson Security Bank building in
this place, having moved here from Har-
per's Ferry on Monday. The corps IS IN
charge of J. H. Adamson. The survey
ors are working east OF town, and have
been busy this week on the Skinner farm
and other points in that neighoorhood'
Yesterday they were running lines about
the cemetery and the baseball grounds
Although no definite information is being
given out, ii is reported that the new line
that has been surveyed along the river is
not as satisfactory as the old route. and
that if the road is to be built it will be
over the right-of-way purchased some
wears ago, with some notifications. II
is also said that there will be no changes
in the route west of town, and that the
crossing of the Norfolk & Western Rail-
way will be at the point formerly desig-
mated, near the water tank. II is to be
hoped that this is true, for if the road
should be built through the town or be-
tween the town and the cemetery, as had
been reported, it would not be so agree
able.
Among the surveyors now at work is
William Morgan, who helped establish
the line that was run through here ten or
twelve years ago. "Billy's" old friends
are glad to have him in ShepherdStown
again.

mysterious Disappearance.

Word has been received here of the
mysterious disappearance of Mr.. Daniel
Entler and his So William. of Portland,
Oregon. Mr. Entler, who was born and
reared in Shepherdstowu, Is a brother of
Mrs. George NJ. Beltzhoover and Misses
Annie ard Nellie Entler, of this place.
For many years he has lived in Portland,
where he was connected with the Pull
man Palace Car Company. Some months
ago he bought place in the interior Of
Oregon, and as his health was not good,
on the advice OF his physician he went 10
live upon it so as TO get the benefit OF
outdoor life, leaving his family in Port
land. His place was some eighteen miles
from the nearest town, ia SparselY set
tied region, the closest neighbor being
five miles distant Mr.. Entler spent the
Christmas holiday with his family in Port
land, and again went home in January or
February. When he went back to his
ranch his son Will, bright, manly youth
OF about fifteen years ofage, accompanied
him, and that is the last that has been
seen or heard OF either of them. The
family having received no word for some
time, Mr.. Enters son Roy, who lived in
Portland.went to the ranch to see if any
thing was wrong with his father or broth
er. He found no trace ofeither. He en-
listed the aid of the people of that section,
and though an extended search has been
made. nothing has been learned Of their
fate. Mr.. Enters wife is in the greatest
distress and his relatives here are also
very anxious, as they fear that some evil
has befalen them-whether they perish
ed in a blizzard or met with a fatal acct
dent, or what has caused their disappear
ance. is a matter OF conjecture. His Sis
tiers here are anxiously awaiting further
information.

Lost q Leg.

Lost a Leg.
William ]. Airey, son of W. H. Airey,
of Martinsburg, was picked up last We'd
nesday night about 2.30 o'clock along the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad between
Shenandoah Junction and Duffields in an
unconscious condition. Besides severe
internal injuries, he sustained such in
iuries to one Of his legs that the member
had TO be amputated below the knee.
Airey could give no account as to how he
got hurt, what he was doing in that neigh
borhood or where he was going, saying
he had no recollection OF the circum-
stances. 1t is supposed, however, thai
he was struck by B. & o. train or fell
off one on which he was riding.

Took a Pot Shot at Bob Underdunk.

The other day Robert Underdonk went
I'D the river to cut some poles for use on
his boat, which has been lying in the ca
nal opposite ShepherdStown for the past
winter. He came face toface with Charles
Butts and Charles Domer, two youths
from town, and to his surprise they cut
loose at him with a shotgun. The shot
fell thick about him and one struck his
hat. When he came TO town Mr.. Under
donk swore out a warrant for their arrest,
whereupon they were hailed before Mag
istrate d. s. Rentch. After hearing the
case the magistrate released Domer, but
held Butts in bail to await the action OF
the grand jury. Butts claims that he shot
in the air, without any intention OF hitting
Mr.. Underdonk.
