Another Barn Burned.

During severe thunderstorm that pass
ed over the southern section OF the coun-
ty last Wednesday evening lightning
struck the barn on the Cattail farm OF
John Porerfield and J Frank Turner, and
the building was entirely destroyed by
the fire that ensued, as was also an ad-
joining shed fifty feet long. The barn
was new one, having been constructed
year or two ago at a cost OF over g, 900,
and was insured for 81 800. William
Hahn, the tenant on The place, lost some
farm implements, harness, ETC., and fine
brood mare and her colt were burned 10
death. Mr.. Hahn had turned the other
horses out of the barn just short time
before. A new corn crib containing 500
bushels OF corn was saved only by the
most strenuous exertions on the part OF
the men who were attracted by the fire.
Mr.. Hahn had an insurance Of $500 on
his property.

Another Freight Wreck.

Another disastrous freight wreck &C.
CURED last Monday afternoon about half
past 3 O'Clock on the Norfolk & Western
Railway near Boyce, Va, when fast
double-head freight train jumped the
track. The train was composed OF So
cars, loaded with coal, lumber, flour and
general merchandise, and "a OF them were
upset and scattered their contents over
the right-of-way and on adjoining fields.
The track was torn up for distance OF
300 feet, and the derailed cars were piled
up over the road in great confusion, block
ing traffic so badly that the passengers
had to be transferred around the wreck.
The wrecking crew from Shenandoah
and the big crane and equipment OF the
Western Maryland Railroad from Hagers-
town worked all night to clear up the
debris and repair the tracks, and by
Tuesday morning trains were able TO get
by.
A number OF train-r riders were on the
cars, and one of these, colored man
named Wesley Banks, was crushed to
death in the smash-up, while three others
were hurt. The injured were taken 10
the hospital at Berryville and to Boyce,
where their wounds were attended TO by
company physicians. Fortunately none
OF the train men was hurt.
II is said that the wreck was caused by
the high speed at which the train was
running. Persons declare that it passed
Boyce at 80 miles an hour, and the ho-
boes who were on the train said that they
were so frightened at the rate it was 60
ing they had made up their minds TO get
off as soon as if Stacked up sufficiently to
allow them to jump. The wreck occur
red at exactly the same place where there
was big smash-up few weeks ago.

Extension Work of Shepherd College.

Having ever in mind that the school
should be the social and civic center of
community, and that from if students
should 90 forth TO give what they have
learned at school to the betterment OF
their own locality, or that new ideas in
education should start from the teacher
training schools, Shepherd College has
been sending out members of the faculty
to do extension work in Jefferson and
Berkeley counties. Requests came dur
ing the winter from Superintendent Fred
Miller, OF Hedgesville, and Boyd Randall,
of Harper's Ferry, for assistance in start
ing manual training in their respective
schools. In response TO these calls, Prof
Tingley, OF the college faculty, has made
regular visits 10 Hedgesville, where there
is thriving class of nine boys, who are
turning out good work despite their lack
of sufficient tools, benches, etc. The
boys work after school hours, thereby
showing their interest in the work. 1t
is hoped that for next year an appropria-
ton can be secured TO get sufficient equip
ment to maintain regular classes in the
work.
AT Harper's Ferry Prof. Tingley has
organized the work, which has not pro-
crossed as far, but the number OF high
school boys is greater than at Hedges
vile. Attempts are being made TO secure
some equipment this spring and to make
a beginning on which to build regular
work next year. In the sixth grade at
Harper's Ferry a new departure is being
tried, that of giving handwork to the
pupils during stated intervals in the week.
Paper-box making, cardboard construc-
ton, whiting, coping saw work in thin
wood, ETC., is being tried ard the chill
dren are taking TO If enthusiastically, de-
String TO come in after school hours to
put in extra time on the work. They are
so interested in it that they say the week
has never passed so quickly before and
that they like TO come TO school now.
The purpose Of the handicrait work is
not merely TO give the children a period
in the days work when the customary
restraint is lifted, and they move about
in active work, but TO educate them to
think for themselves in the productive
work in which they are engaged. We
learn best by doing, and the concrete
results in the handwork spell success or
failure to the pupil without any word from
the teacher. Then the children find de-
light in making something that is the pro-
duct OF their own minds and hands, and
so the creative genius in encouraged. II
people could see the delight with which
the children take up the work, it would
be readily apparent that handwork is
strong incentive TO remain in school and
a potent factor in educating the child.
Harper's Ferry is TO be commended in
being among The first to adopt this ad-
vance in education. II is hoped that
other schools will see their opportunity
TO attempt work along these lines next
year. The faculty of Shepherd College
will be glad TO cooperate with them in
any way possible.

An Aged Man Passes Away.

Mr.. William R. Deck, one of Shep-
herdstown's old residents, died at his
home in this place last Sunday afternoon
at the ripe old age of IS years. He had
been in declining health for almost ayear,
having suffered an attack of vertigo last
summer which indicated that he was be-
ginning to fail. Although he had grown
weak, he kept up until few days before
his death, being in full possession OF his
faculties, and was in bed less than week
before the end came. Mr.. Deck was
born in Chambersburg, Pa, but came TO
Shepherdstown when boy, where ne
learned the blacksmith's trade with John
Boroff. When the Civil War broke out
he enlisted in the Confederate army as
member of Company F, First Virginia
Cavalry, under Colonel Morgan. After
the war ended he returned here and work.

of town. where he was in charge OF the
blacksmith department. He lived for al
most fifty years in the same house, hav-
ing for 43 years been in charge of the
Lutheran Church and graveyard. Mr..
Deck married Miss Margaret Reyes, and
for fifty-seven years they lived happily
together. For number of years she has
been an invalid, but his devotion TO her
has been notable. Faithful and loving,
he left nothing undone for her comfort,
and his death is sore bereavement to
her in her old age. Besides his wife, he
is survived by three daughters Mrs. D.
M. Schoppert, of Shepherdstown; Mrs.
Mollie Ecton, of Steelton, Pa, whose
husband died week or two ago; and
Mrs. Kate Samuel, of BluefieId, w. Va.
Mr.. Deck was a kind-hearted man,
member of the Lutheran Church for 46
years, and he will be missed by many
old friends. He was buried in the Re-
formed Cemetery Tuesday afternoon, the
funeral sermon being preached in the
Reformed Church by his pastor, Rev. |.
d. Woman, Of the Lutheran Church.
The members OF the Lutheran Church
Council served as his pail lrerS.

Still Very Dry.

The drought is still with US. Monday
evening the clouds banked upin the west
and there was every appearance OF a
good rain, but the best we got out OF
them was sprinkle that settled the dust
for few hours. All signs for rain seem
TO fail these days. The drought IS be-
coming more and more serious. The
wheat needs If badly, as does the newly
planted corn, but the crop suffering most
is the hay. The fields are almost bare OF
both clover and grass, and the loss Will
be heavy. Pasture is very scarce, ano
the question OF feed is giving the farmers
much concern. The gardens are almost
at standstill and early vegetables will be
very scarce.

Baseball.


An interesting game OF baseball was
played here last Saturday between the
Shepherd College team and the Hagers-
town High School boys. We soon had
the game sewed misrepresentation at
the beginning OF the seventh inning the
score was seven 10 nothing in our favor.
Then the visitors Weakened up while our
boys seemed to get in a comatose condi-
tion. and the score was tied in the eighth
inning. Neither scored in the ninth. In
the tenth the visitors got in two runs and
the future looked gloomy for Shepherd
College; but our boys made a grand rally,
encouraged by the rooters. and IN their
half of the inning pounded in three runs
and won the game. II was hot finish,
and several enthusiastic fans came near
having heart disease.
The college team will 90 to KeySer on
Friday TO play the boys ofthe Preparatory
School, and will stop off in Martinsourg
on their return Saturday and have game
with the high school nine there.

Athey made an effective raid on alleged
bootleggers in Charles Town last We'd

Chester Wainwright, negro physician,
and arrested him for selling liquor illegally.
