LITTLE LOCALS.

A man dropped dead in the B. & O.
station at Martinsburg last week. No
wonder. And yet the station at Shen-
andoah Junction is worse.
Florence Young, colored, aged p years,
died in Darkesville, Berkeley county,
Tuesday night, after long illness from
consumption. She was daughter OF
Rev. c. c. Young, who died about six
weeks ago. Her funeral will he held in
ShepherdSfown Friday afternoon at 300
O'Clock.
David Lemen yesterday brought his
handsome new Six-cylinder Chalmers
touring Car from Washington, arriving
home about o'clock in the evening.
He drove by way of Baltimore, and
though this almost doubled the distance,
he had good roads all the way and made
the trip in good order. He has splen-
did car.
Or. John l.. Meyers, who some time
ago bought the Wintermoyer building,
next door ID the Register office, will re-
model the second story, converting il
into living apartments in which he and
his wife will make their home. The
room formerly occupied as press room
by the independent, on the lower floor,
will be used by DR.. Meyers as an office.
Mr.. A. S. Lucas, manager of the Shep-
herdstown Garage, informs us that the
report that this enterprise had effected
arrangements by which it would sell out
to Pennsylvania party is incorrect. No
such deal has been made, and the Shep-
herdStown Garage will continue the
business al the old stand along the same
lines that has made il so satisfactory TO
the people OF this section and passing
patrons.
The sale OF antique furniture in Shep-
herdStown last Friday by Hagerstown
parties was well attended by persons
from here and other places, and the bid
ding was spirited. Some OF the articles
brought excellent prices, while others were
knocked OFF at less than their value. A
grandtather's clock in good order, with
cherry case, sold at $50. Mahogany
tables sold up to $32. The persons
making the sale were fairly well satisfied
with the result.
The Injunction suit of ]. V. Bell against
u. S. Martin, both of Shepherdstown,
was argued before Judge Woods in cham
berS In MartinsbuIg on Friday last by
Attorney Geo. M. Beltzhoover, Jr., for
the plaintiff, and Attorneys Forrest W.
Brown and c. M. Campbell for the de-
PENDANT. The object OF the suit is to re-
strain Mr.. Martin from obstructng
right of-way claimed by Mr.. Bell. Mr..
Martin has his mill wheel upon the land
in dispute. Judge Woods will announce
his decision IN the future.
c. A. Tinnemyer, aged Is, an electri-
clan, employed by the MartinSourg Power
Company, was electrocuted last Friday at
the plant at dam No. d. He was repair
ing a transformer and when he attempted
to stand erect his head came in contact
with a wire charged with 1900 volts OF
electricity. He was thrown into the air,
his neck broken and his body terribly
burned. A coroner's inquest was held
and il was decided that his death was &C
liable. The remains were sent to his
home in pittsburg.
Miss Nellie Woods, who is TO have
charge of the domestic science depart
ment OF Shepherd College, has arrived
and is ready to take up this work. Miss
Woods is a graduate OF Ohio University
and Drexel Institute at Philadelphia, and
has also taken agricultural extension work
al MorgantoWn. She is thoroughly quail
flied TO teach domestic science, and 1t is
believed that this department will be one
OF importance as well as OF interest in the
school. The spring term began on Tues
day with an enrolment OF l65, OF whom
IS are new students. Prof. F. Marsh,
secretary OF the Board OF Regents, visited
the school on Monday.
We are informed that the directors of
the Boonsboro and Sharpsburg Turnpike
Company will hold meeting IN SharpS-
ourg on Saturday, with view to making
plans for macadamizing the road between
Antietam Station and ShepherdStown,
distance OF about two miles. This is a
bad piece OF road-a combination of clay
and sand and boulderS, with bumpers
galore-that has been bane TO automo-
oileS. Ii is said to be the one bad link
in the route uf the National Highway be-
tween Baltimore and Staunton. Before
the war il was part of the turnpike be-
tween the north and south, and had
toll gate upon it about a mile from Shep-
herdStoWn. For more than fifty years,
however, If has been neglected and has
became an ordinary dirt road. We hope
that the company will improve If, even
though il means another toll-gate.
