Buckles Brothers. Barn Burned.

Last Thursday evening the barn on the
farm OF Messrs. William and Forrest
Buckles, near Uvilla, formerly the Melvin
place, was totally destroyed by lire.
Neither OF the brothers was at home al
the time, one being in Charles Town and
the other in Harper's Ferry, and the fire
was not observed until the building was
entirely enveloped in flames. The re-
Election from the fire lit up the country
for miles around, and soon large crowd
of persons from every direction gathered
at the place. Fortunately no live stock
was in the barn, for nothing was saved
from the burning structure. No expla-
nation has been given of the origin OF the
fire, which occurred just about dark. The
barn was very old one-one OF the
oldest in this section, perhapS-and was
built OF heavy logs that burned for a long
time. The contents included a quantity
of hay and lot of farming implements
and machinery, harness, etc. There
was an insurance of s., $50 on the prop
erty-$l 300 on the contents OF the barn
and $500 on the building with Washing
ton, Alexander & Cooke, and $3.50 addl-
tional on the barn with Harrison Sehley.

mony was impressively performed. To

I'm the Circuit Court.

The trial OF an action instituted by A..
Kaplon, Harper's Ferry merchant,
against the Norfolk & Western Railway
Company was in progress before jury
on Thursday, when il was shown that
the plaintiff had brought suit against the
wrong company. The evidence showed
that the goods, some OF which were
missing on reaching their destination,
giving rise to the action, were transported
by both the B. & o. and n. & W. COM
panes. The non-suit makes itaecessary
for the plaintiff to institute suit against
the former company if anything is to be
recovered.
A decree OF absolute div-rc was
granted Mamie L. Bready against Eugene
Broadly, a conditional divorce having
been granted more than year ago.
In the case of c. Jessie Hoffman and
others against Clara E. Edwards, the
sale OF house and lot in Shepherdstown
to Anna Washington, for $500, was rail-
fled, and w. S. Myers appointed guardian
for the infant defendant TO receive the
latter's share OF the proceeds OF the sale.

Another Improvement.

The Register office has added this week
another valuable piece Of machinery to

folding machine that will fold the news
papers as fast as they are printed by our
Hoe cylinder press. The work offolding
and getting ready for the mail | ,725 copies
of the Register each Thursday afternoon
has been big job, and three or four
persons have usually been kept busy
folding the papers by hand. The new
machine will keep right along with the
nress and will require but one person to
manage it. II will be run by an electric
motor. The Registers outfit is now
unusually complete, and very few country
printing offices are as well equipped.
Come in and see the wheels 60 round on
