CARRANZA SAYS HIS ! ROOFS
ARE STAYING "AT HOME"
Washington, Aug. 13.-Gen. Car
ranza's military commander at Mata-
moras has notified Gen Funston that
he can account for every one Of his
troops since border troubles began,
the CaTranza agency here announced
today, and says he knows positively
that none has visited the United
States. He also ordered military CO.
operation with Funston to suppress
disorders on both sides Of the inter
national line.
The administration decision not
to answer Carranza's warning to out
siders not to interfere in Mexico was
a change of program said to have
been due to Argentina's communica-
ton assuring the first chief that the
BuenOs AyTes government had no in
tentiOn of coUntenancing an inter
vention program.
Gen. Funston has ordered Troop K,
10th cavalry, from Fort Huachuca,
Ariz., to LOkieI, ATiz. Company K,

ARREST MINISTER AND SON IN
GIRLS DEATH
South Bend, Ind, Aug. 13.-An old
canvas telescope bag which had
been abandoned with other rubbish
when Ellis NJ Ebersole and his son
Newton, 20, moved from their home
near here, was exhibited today as the
chief evidence to connect the two
with the murder of Hazel MaCkhn,
eleven months ago. The father was
a Dunkard minister formerly.
The 15-year old girls body was
found in a vault in Island Park near
here October 25, 1914. She had dis
appeared a month before. The girl
had been strangled to death. It was
learned she had inserted an adver-
tisement seeking work as a domestic.
Before leaving the home Of relatives,
she said a man had telephOned her
to meet him, and that he would be
wearing a Dunkard's dress. The girl
was apparently assaulted and then
strangled.
The Dunkard minister is held
under the belief that he shielded his
son. Newton has been in trouble
with other girls, but always has man.
aged to prevent arrest, the police
said.

A DELIGHTFUL Social Affair.

One of the most interesting and de-
lightful social events of recent years in
this neighborhood was the dance given
last Friday evening by Mr.. and Mrs. R.
C. Ringgold at their beautiful home,
Belle Vue, just north of town. This fine
old place has just been remodeled and
improved in the most artistic style, and
it is an ideal place for entertaining. The
house and the porches were beautifully
arranged for Friday nights entertainment,
and the lawn and grove looked like fairy
land, with many colored lanterns cluster
ed among the trees. Guests were pres
emf from most of the neighboring towns.
West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and
Pennsylvania were all represented, and
the visitors enjoyed 10 the full the hos
pitality of the gracious host and hostess.
Dancing was the feature of the gathering,
and the young folks found the polished
floors of the large front rooms just right
for this exhilarating pleasure. The older
guests found no less enjoyment in the
beauty and comfort of the portico and
the sweetness OF the summer night. We
haven't often seen as many pretty girls
and handsome matrons as there were at
Belle Vue Friday night, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Ringgold cannot but be gratified at
the success of the affair. Their guests
fully appreciated their charming hospital
ity, and il was with genuine regret that
they made their adieux at the end of this
delightful evening.

Town Affairs.

Town Affairs.
AT a meeting of the town council Tues
day night, Mayor Martin presiding and
all the members present. the finance COM
mittee presented its estimates for the en-
suing year, which were ordered publish
ed in accordance with the law. The es-
Inmates may be found in another column
of the Register. The levy, If is noted,
will be the same as last year, namely, 80
cents on the hundred dollars. The street
committees report, which was adopted,
requires that new sidewalks be laid along
the property of Harrison Schley on Duke
street, or the Shepherd pike; along the
TFiplett property on New street; along
the Hoffman property on Church street;
and that repairs be made to the pavement
along the rectory lot on Church Street.
The street committee was also instructed
to have new crossing made between
the Lutheran Church and the graded
school and also at Shoe lane and the al
ley at the south end OF Church street.
In adopting the report of estimates for
the ensuing year, members OF the council
expressed themselves as being favorable
to the installation OF sewerage system
if the proposed waterworks shall be con-
structed, and il is thought that the work
can be done economically and without
the placing of any heavy burden upon the
taxpayers. Chairman Welshans, OF the
committee, also stated that plans had
been considered for the improvement OF
Mill street from German street to the
property of the Rumseyan Society, in
Guiding the grading and matchmaking OF
the street and the construction OF side
walks. This will likely be done later.
Acting upon the petition of the pro-
motors OF the waterworks, an extension
OF ninety days was granted for the begin
ming and completion OF the project. 1t
was stated that while the greater part OF
..he necessary funds had been raised,
those in charge Of tie mate, mater desired to
have all the money in hand before begun
ming the work-hence the request for all
extension of the time named in the fran
chise.

Morpan,s Grove Fair Notes.

The 1915 Premium List is out and cop
les may be had at the stores in town and
by calling or writing TO Secretary J. D.
Muldoon. II is hoped that the patrons OF
the fair will read over the list of premi-
ums and decide TO bring exhibits in just
as many classes as possible. Reports
from outside exhibitors, privilege men,
etc., are very encouraging for big fair.
but the final success of the fair depends
entirely upon the efforts that are put
forth by our own people in the prepare
ton OF exhibits for the various depart
ments.
Valuable premiums are held up for all
sorts of farm products and farm animals,
and if everyone in the vicinity, Jefferson,
Berkeley, Washington, Loudoun and
Frederick counties, would contribute
something TO the fair, il would be big
success. The directors are anxious 10
make this exhibition the most successful
in the history OF The association, and very
cordially invite all TO aid them in this mat
ter.
II is very desirable that all permanent
tent-holders have their tents reserved by
the 2lst of this month. After that time
it will be impossible TO hold the space
open, as there are several applications in
for vacancies.
The board OF directors will meet at the
grove on Saturday afternoon TO deter
mine what Improvements are necessary
for this seasons show.
In all probability tournament will be
arranged for Friday forenoon. Several
riders from Washington county, Md, are
anxious TO take part at the fair, and if ar
engagements can be made the tournament
will be held. All riders are invited with
out limit.
Excursion rates on the N. & w. have
been made, and special cars will be put
on TO take care of the crowds from the
north and south.
Special efforts are being made to make
tbe horse s 5Saw most attractive this year.
A number of classes have oseiiJEstureIu "

Mr.. Hoffman Has a Bad Fall.

Last Friday morning John c. Hoffman,
carpenter employed on c. N. Writings
new flour mill on Washington street, was
badly hurt when he fell distance OF over
thirty feet. Mr.. Hoffman was working on
the wheat bins at a considerable elevation,
when somehow he lost his balance, prob
ably by the turning OF board, and fell to
the railroad track beneath. The other
workmen rushed TO his assistance and
found him in an unconscious condition.
He was quickly carried to his home near
by. and DIR. q. w. Banks was summoned.
An examination revealed the fact tfattwo
ribs were fractured. one OF his wrists and
one finger were dislocated, and Of course
he was very painfully bruised and greatly
shocked by the tall. Ii seems extremely
fortunate that no more serious injury was
inflicted, for the fall was very bad one.
Mr.. Hoffman seems to be getting along
fairly well at this writing. and it is hoped
that he will soon be out again.

We Wallop Winchester.

There was a lovely game OF baseball in
Shepherdstown last Thursday, when a
hopeful team from Winchester, accompa-
MED by number of enthusiastic rooters,
went up against our good little aggrega-
ton headed by Myers and Shipley. Just
as the game was about to start there was
a heavy rain, but il didn't last long, and
as soon as the grounds dried off the con-
test was started. In the first inning the
locals made two runs, chiefly because OF
errors on the part OF Winchester. Breck-
enbridge was taken out as catcher, and
Weems, professional, was put in his
place. Weems' playing was perfect and
inspiring TO see-but he couldn't do itall.
Tiffany pitched good game for the visi-
tors and struck out eight men, but he was
up against Our old reliable Brandy" My
ers, who was at his best and kept 'em
guessing all the time, and climbed out Of
holes with spectacular celebrity. "Bran-
dy" struck out fourteen men and made
two hits besides, thus endearing himself
to the fans, who appreciated his good
work as we'll as that of his battery mate,
Elk Shipley. who played behind the bat
without an error. When the last inning
had been finished, despite the desperate
efforts OF Winchester TO get something
TO take back home with them. the score
was four TO nothing in favor OF Shepherds
town. This was Disappointing to the Wis
itors, who had recently walloped the Ma
riSt team from Washington by the score
OF IA TO /, but they took their defeat
gracefully. Myers and Tiffany each al
lowed five hits. We expect to 20 to
Winchester next Thursday and give 'em
another salty dose.
