Mr.. Frank H. Chopper, well. known
resident ofthe Keedysville neighborhood,
died early last Sunday morning from ap-
oplexy at the Mount Glen Hotel in BoonS-
boro. While sitting on the hotel porch
Saturday night he was stricken suddenly
with the fatal attack, and in few hours
he passed away. Mr.. Chopper was we'll
known in this section, where for NUM-
Der OF years he ran huckster wagon, and
had wide acquaintance with the farmers.
He was highly regarded, being genial,
kind-hearted man, upright in character
and fair in his dealings, and his old friends
in this county will regret TO learn OF his
death. 1t will be recalled that some years
ago team which he was driving was
struck by B & o. train at DuSrs Cross
ing, this county, when boy in the wagon
was killed and Mr.. Chopper was terribly
injured. He lay for many weeks at the
home of r. V. Moler. near the scene OF
the accident, but eventually recovered
and was removed to his home. He is
survived by his wife, four sons and three
daughters. The deceased was member
of the Lutheran Church and had long been
a prominent Odd Fellow. For some years
past he had been engaged in farming two
miles from Boonsboro. He was buried
IN Keedysville yesterday.
DIR. Thomas Opie, a native OF Jefferson

after brief illness from paralysis, aged
IA years. Dr. Opie was for many years
prominent physician OF Baltimore. He
was one of the founders OF the College
OF Physicians and Surgeons, and was
dean OF the institution for % years, re-
firing about seven years ago. He was
born near Charles Town, where his father,
Major Hiram L. Opie owned line es-
tate. DR.. Opie was educated at the Uni
versity of Virginia and the University OF
Pennsylvania, graduating in medicine
and surgery. When the Civil War began
he enlisted IN the Confederate army, and
rendered faithful service in the Stonewall
Brigade until the war was ended. He
was buried in Baltimore yesterday. Sur
viving him are two sons and three daugh-
tiers.
Mr.. John T. Morrison, one OF Berkeley
county's well-known farmer, died Tues
day night at his home at the mouth OF the
Opequon, aged g. years. He had been
in failing health tor some months and his
death was not unexpected. Mr.. Morri-
son was most estirable man in all the
relations OF life, and many friends will
regret his death. He is survived by his
wife, who was formerly Miss Mary Nor
rison, and four children: Guy and George
Morrison, Miss Lucy Morrison and Mrs.
Ernest Seibert.
Miss Jennie Ware, an aged resident OF
Charles Town, died at her home in that

apples 10 a New DIX llTIll on commission,
got returns last Saturday, and was graft
lied to find that they Melted him 81 30 per
barrel a pleasing surprise in view of the
fact that the best price offered by the buy
ers operating in this county would have
Melted him only about half this much
Mr.. McQuikin is sending more apples
TO the same firm this week. Messrs.
Bower and Lemen are shipping several
carloads to Liverpool, where prices are
said TO be very good. The buyers in the
combination are still trying TO hold prices
down to the original low level, but other
offers are being received of substantial
advances.
The local exchange OF the Jefferson
County Telephone Company was on
Tuesday removed from the Billmyer
building, where it had been located since
the company was organized, TO its new
quarters on the second floor OF the build
ing formerly owned by the Chapline es-
tate, purchased some time ago by the tele-
phone company as permanent home for
the exchange. The new location is a
very desirable one on Main street, next
to the Register building. The transfer
from the old switchboard to the new was
quickly made. All things had been made
ready, and when the signal was given the
old exchange was cut out and the new
connected, the interruption TO the service
being only about ten seconds. A public
telephone booth has been put in place in
the lower hall of the building, which may
be used without the necessity of going up
stairs. The changing OF the company's
quarters has been rather expensive pro-
ceeding, but it is hoped that it will not
have to move again in this generation.

Peace Meeting in Shepherdstown.
Last Sunday evening large congrega-
ton, representing every denomination in
Shepherdstown, assembled in the college
auditorium TO participate in the meeting
that had been called, in response to Pres
ident Wilson's proclamation, to pray for
peace. An interesting programme was
rendered, and the meeting was in every
respect an impressive one. Prof. ThoS.
c. Miller, principal Of Shepherd College,
presided and read the Presidents procla
nation. Appropriate addresses were
delivered by Rev. |. d. Woman, OF the
Lutheran Church, aud Rev. GuyP. Broadly,
OF the Reformed Church. The Scripture

prayer. Fervent prayers were offered
during the service by Rev. c. Syden-
stricken, ofthe M. E. Church South; Rev.
DR.. Charles Ghiselin, OF the Presbyterian
Church and Rev. William Rogers, OF the
Methodist Church. The music was in
charge of Prof. J. d. Muldoon, and was
led by large choir OF local singers, who
rendered with tine effect special anthem.
The congregational singing was particu-
larly good, hymns appropriate TO the oc-
casion being sung. An agreeable feature
of the music was violin solo by Prof.
Mosher, OF New Richmond, Wisconsin,
who was accompanied on the piano by
Miss Maggie MeuelIs, OF Shepherd COL
lege. A collection was taken for the bene-
fit Of the Red Cross Society, and the sum
OF fifty dollars was contributed. The
meeting was one that will long be remem-
bered by those who were privileged OF
be present.

Miss Clara HuYett, aged about p years,
daughter of former Deputy Sheriff John
B. Huyett, OF Hagerstown, was killed,
and her sister, Miss Bette HuYett, and
Miss Melchora Carver, 10 years old,
daughter OF Melchor Carver, HagerS-
town merchant, were seriously injured
last Sunday night, when the automobile
of Albert Stockslager struck the wall at
the end OF the bridge over little stream
flowing into the Antietam creek, IN the
Boonsboro turnpike near Benevola.
The party OF four were returning 10 Ha-
gerstown from Frederick. Mr.. Stock
slayer, who was driving, lost control OF
the car, which skidded after he lad
locked the brakes and then ran against
the side of the bridge. The machine
tilted and all were thrown out, Miss Clara
Huyett and Miss Carver falling into the
stream some 20 feet below. When they
were rescued Miss Huyett was uncon-
scious. The injured were carried 10 the
home of Roy 0. South, a farmer nearby,
and attended by physicians summoned
from Hagerstown. Miss Huyett died at
s O'Clock, one hour after the accident.
Miss Garver'S injuries were very seri-
Gus. Besides being hurt aboutth the Shout
ders, she was injured internally. Mr..
Stocklager was the least injured OF the
party. He was cut about the head by
glass from the windshield. which was
shattered by the impact, and severely
bruised.
The accident occurred near the same
place where John Oswald was thrown
from an automobile about year ago and
killed.

Brooklyn, knocked out this same George

4 left hand uppercut, the first real blow,
that travelled about three inches, but
which carried all the dynamic power Of
the Brooklyn lads muscular body, landed
flush on Chips chin. and all was over
save the formality of a count that was
entirely unnecessary.
For eight seconds the Newcastle miner
never moved a muscle. Then the fighting
instinct sounded a call which a dazed
brain endeavored TO enforce over numbed
muscles Chip lifted his head and tried
10 drag himself to his feet. AS the referee

was too much. The iron fist of Mccoy
