For The New Dormitory.

Principal Thos. c. Miller of Shepherd
College has received instructions from
the State Board OF Control to 90 ahead
with the plans for a dorniitorY for this
school, for which $4,000 is now avail
able. II was originally intended to erect
this structure on the site east OF the main
college building, but there is now de-
sire to reserve this ground as part OF
the campus and for tennis courts. ETC.,
and TO secure new location for the DOR
mitory. Mr.. Miller would like to have a
plot of ground of three or four acres in
or adjacent TO the town, which would
serve not only as site for the dormitory
but provide ground also for experimental
purposes. He will be glad to receive
offers of land suitable for this purpose
We hope that desirable location may
be secured and that work on the doTmi-
tory may soon be commenced.

Monument Site StiIl In Dispute.

Mr.. Bohn, of the engineering staff Of
the Norfolk & Western Railway, was in
Shepherdstown on Tuesday, at the re-
quest of Henry w. Potts, president of the
Rumseyan Society, to mark the lines OF
the property purchased by the society as
a site for the proposed monument to
James Rumsey. inventor OF the steamboat.
Ii will be recalled that the society pur-
chased several acres of land from the
railroad company for this purpose, the
company making very moderate price
on the property. Just as preparations
were being made TO begin work on the
project, u. S. Martin, who is mayor Of the
town, notified Mr.. Potts that he claimed
part of the bluff al the precise spot where
the monument is to be erected. Mr..
Bohn was here on Tuesday with maps
and other data, and he declared that the
railroad company conveyed to the society
only such property as it had a right to sell.
He states that Mr.. Martins claim is not
valid one, but Mr.. Martin is very firm in
his stand that he owns the small strip Of
rock in dispute, and he asks as much for
the few square feet al the top of the bluff
as the railroad sold an acre for. Naturally
the society objects to paying twice for the
same land. neither does it wish TO engage
in q law suit that will mean costly litigation
and tedious delay. II is very unfortunate
for many reasons that the enterprise is
blocked. The State authorities have urged
that the work be commenced before the
first OF July, and delay may mean consid-
cradle embarrassment, if not serious COM
plicationS.

Messrs. John P. Kearfott, Jos. B. Van
Metre and Mayberry Mckee, three old
Confederates from this neighborhood who
attended the reunion in Richmond, Va,
last week, made pilgrimage to the ia
nous Yellow Tavern, six or eight miles

the spot where they had a terrific fight,
as members of Company B, First Viz
ginia Cavalry, on May II, 1864, with an
overwhelming force Of cavalry under
General Sheridan. II was in this en-
gagement that Gen. ]. E. B. Stuart, the
daring and dashing Confederate cavalry
man, was killed, and Captain Kirk Ham,
mond, commanding Company b, also
lost his life. The veterans enjoyed Wis
iting these historic scenes. though there
was tinge OF sadness as they thought
OF their gallant comrades who had sacri-
feed their lives in tile bloody battles thai
centered around Richmond.
William L. Arthur, Remington Spots
and several others from this neighborhooc
visited the Confederate Soldiers Home
while they were in Richmond. They saw
a number of old comrades there. Tony
Overton and Alex Beard, members o
Company B, Second Virginia Regiment
have positions at the home, The formei
being a commissary officer and the latte
adiutant. Mr.. Arthur had not seen thes:
old Confeds for fifty years, yet they recog
nized each other and "Tony" greeted
"5ilp' by name. They also saw at TIT
home Jerry B. Shelter, member OF Com
pany B, and Frank Voorhees,, who be-
longed TO Berkeley company.
The torn and tattered battleflag OF TIL
Second Virginia Regiment priceless
relic of the famous old Stonewall Brigade
was carried in the parade on Thursday
and attracted great attention. This is TIL
flag followed by most of the men iron
this county, and they value it abov

SeasonabIe Snake Stories.


Tuesday morning while Robert Banks
was blowing corn with blind horse the
animal became frightened and refused to
walk ahead in the furrow. Investigating
the cause of the horses alarm, Mr.. Banks
discovered blacksnake some five feet
in length lying on the ground. He killed
the snake, and thereupon the horse quietly
resumed its work. The question is: How
did the horse know that the snake was
there ?
Will Walker, who lives in the Scrao-
BILE neighborhood, hauled a big black
snake to town last Monday with a load
of logs, and the snake was turned loose
near the freight station. Agent Waddy
is stepping lightly just now and keeps
one eye open for snakes all the time.
Some workmen killed q blackSnake al

II is expected that great many snakes
