The Nationals may not open the sea-

Johnson. who. with Barney Dreyfuss
of Pittsburgh, arranges the two major
league schedules every year. gave it as
his opinion in New York the other day
that the Nationals would open the sea-
son in Philadelphia. while the RED Sox
would be the guests OF Frank Chances
team at the Polo Grounds. The date
for the opening has been fixed for April
IA
If this plan is carried out the chances
are that the Nationals Will open the
season at home rot before the latter
pars OF April, for il is mol uni kelly
that they will have to go to Boston
from Philadelphia before they come to
their own grounds. Johnson and Drey-
fuss are having Il conference in Pitts
burgh today regarding the schedule. anG
sonle time later in the winter they w>..
ge> together and frame up the dates
for the games to be played by the two
major leagues next season. The MAX
ing Of the schedules is strenuous
task for the reason that great care
is taken TO prevent as many conflicting
dates in the cities where both leagues
are represented as possible
Joe Tinker is very much in demand and
the Cincinnati ub is sure To get very
advantageous deal or an enormous
amount of cash for his release. Tinker
Is considered the best shortstop IN the

A Big Real Estate Deal.

James M. Rothwell, head Of the cold
storage firm of Rothwell & Company,
Martinsburg. has bought from the MeSsrs.
Baker the Fairview Orchard properties
near Kearneysville, Jefferson county.
This is perhaps the largest transaction in
apple lands that has ever occurred in this
county. There are 600 acres in the prop
erty referred to, about 300 acres being in
apple trees, large part of which are in
their prime. The price paid is said 10 be
over 100000.
A large part of this property formerly
belonged to Charles E. Jones. When
he became involved in financial difficult
ties few years ago, the MesSrS. Baker,
who are wealthy financiers of Frederick,
Md, and owners of extensive lime works
and quarries in this county and Berkeley,
took over the entire property and settled
the accounts of Mr.. Jones, who is rela-
ted TO them. Mr.. Jones was made man
ager OF the company, but few months
ago differences occurred between him and
the Messrs. Baker, and they removed
him from his position. Mr.. Jones &C
cused them of having failed to give
proper accounting of the transactions in
volved in the settlement of his affairs,
and announced that he would bring suit
against them for $4,000 damages. This
suit was TO come up in the Jefferson Cir
cult Court in October, and sensational
disclosures were promised. Whether or
not the sale of the property to Mr.. Roth
well includes the satisfying of Mr.. Jones's
claims we are unable to state.
Some very fine crops of apples have
been gathered from these orchards, and
when the recently planted apple and
peach trees come into bearing the yield
of fruit is expected to reach enormous
proportions.

Smallpox in the County.

The Register last week referred to the
case of smallpox neaf Moler's Cross
Roads, and we are sorry to report that
two additional cases have since devel-
oped-one child OF William Coffinbar-
ger, on the Knott farm, near the river,
and the other being Roy Hoffmaster, son
of lanes Hoffmaster, on the Hendricks
farm. II is believed that the trouble came
from a colored man who worked with a
threshing outfit in that section. He had
a mild case of the disease, and in going
about with the threshing machine he
scattered the germs with disastrous effect.
II is feared that still other cases may re-
suit. The public school at Moler's has
been closed as precautionary measure.
We hope that the county health au-
thorities will take every precaution TO
prevent spread of the pest. Strict quar-
antine should be enforced-a measure
that. il is said, has not yet been very
carefully observed.

A DastardIy SwindIer.

One OF the most dastardly swindlers
who has ever worked in this section was
a fellow who recently made his appear
ance as peddler of spectacles and eye
glasses. His specially was to visit homes
where aged or infirm persons were alone,
and by bullying or frightening them in
duce them to buy at extravagant prices
his worthless goods. One of his victims
in this neighborhood was Miss Hortense
Koontz, an aged woman who makes her
home with w. T. McQuilkin, west of
town. The fellow took advantage of the
absence of Mr.. McQuilkin's family, when
Miss Koontz and young daughter Of
Frank R. McQuilkin were the only occu-
pants of the house. Finding them un-
protected, he practically forced Miss
Koontz to buy from him two pairs of
glasses at $40 each. He told her that un-
less she bought the glasses she would 60
blind and would be paralyzed besides,
and by his threatening manner terrorized
her into buying two pairs. When Mr..
McQuilkin returned and learned OF the
circumstances he got on the trail of the
swindler. He took the glasses to Mar
tinsburg optician, who stated that the
spectacles are simply magnifying glasses,
worth about a dollar. twas learned that
the same fellow was working in Morgan
county. He had swindled an aged man
there out Of $50, another out of $45, and
others of smaller amounts. One of his
victims had caused him to be arrested,
and at hearing before magistrate in
Berkeley Springs he was released on the
insignificant bail of fifty dollars. Having
a pocketful of money, the fellow put up
the amount in cash, and then skipped
for parts unknown before Mr.. McQuilkin
could catch up with him. Nothing has
since been heard from him, andit is like
ly that he is now in other fields plying
his nefarious game. The fellow made
Miss Koontz very nervous, and the next
day she sustained stroke OF paralysis
that has left her in such aprecarious con-
dition her death may occur at any time.

Equinox Right On Time.

The scientific gentlemen who run the
United States Weather Bureau laugh a
the old fashioned folks who believe ir
equinoctial storms, but somehow the
equinox keeps on doing business in the
same old way. Last Sunday was the
first day of autumn, as may be proved
by the almanac, and we write this state
ment TO record the fact that right on time
there came a characteristic equinoctia
storm. The rain started with rush anC
whirl just about noon. Some persons
managed 10 reach home from church ir
time to escape the downpour, while
others, where the service was longer
were caught in the worst OF the storm
The wind blew the rain in every direc-
ton, and umbrellas were OF but little SER
vice. After the first hour the vino
abated, but the rain fell steadily all after
noon, giving the ground The best soaking
it has had in months. ]. S. Bragonier'S
home made rain-gauge showed that ar
inch and a half OF rain fell on Sunday.
