HAD PRESENT|MENTS
OF PRESIDENTS DEATH
Mrs. E. W. Somers Relates Incidents
Which Preceded Mr.. Lineoln's
Assassination.

A rather remarkable story of a series
of presentiments that occurred to her
on the eve of the assassination OF
Abraham Lincoln, fifty years ago
Wednesday night. is told by Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Wister Somers of this city.
daughter of John Pettibone. promi-
nent business man from Connecticut at
that time living in Washington.
Mrs. Somers declares that during the
day of April Ia. 1865, she saw two men
who We're carpenters at Ford's Theater
talking together at the corner of 10th
street and Pennsylvania avenue, and
that they were joined by John Wilkes
Booth. She overheard them mention
;. the Presidents name and heard the
: swords Soldiers Home" before they
noticed her. and thinks it referred to
plot to kidnap Mr. Lincoln, in the fail
: ure Of which Booth decided on assas-
: sination.
Warns MI. Lincoln.
So strong was the impression made
: on her, says Mrs Somers, that she
went home and wrote Mr.. Lincoln a
: letter urging him not to attend that
!. evenings performance. and although
she and her husband had intended
going to Ford's playhouse that night,
: both remained away and took an even
ing stroll
During this walk. she AYERS, she dis
=tinctly heard a voice say: 60 tell the
President not to go to the theater, but
could see no one.
:. During the walk her husbands pocket
was picked. according to her story. and
: on his way to the Chronicle office to in
sert a lost advertisement, as he was
+paying his bill, a man came into the
: Office crying the news that the Presi-
dent was shot. Mr.. Somers, picking up
"a crowbar used to fasten a window in
zthe office, ran up 9Th street to r street
and as he was entering the alley
which led TO the rear of the theater.
Booth, riding on horse, came plunS-
ing out.
Claimed He Was Sent for Physician.
!. Mr.. Somers had good opportunity to
stop the assassin, but the latter, fore
seeing this contingency, cried out that
he was Fastening for a physician and
was, therefore, allowed to pass. Later
Mr.. Somers helped to carry the NOR
tally wounded President out of the
Jheater and across the street.

Iunior Editor in the Hospital.

William B. Snyder, the junior editor OF
the Register, has been suffering for the
past couple OF weeks with symptoms OF
appendicitis, and yesterday he was taken
by his physician, DR.. Burwell, to the hos
pital in Charles Town, where after an
examination il was decided that an opera
ton was necessary. The operation was
performed by DR.. Venning without delay,
and if was found that The appendix was
badly affected. He stood the operation
firstrate, and is getting along as well as
could be expected. We hope that he
will soon be at his post again entirely re-
stored to health.
Mr.. Snyder is the fourth person from
this vicinity to be operated upon for ap-
pendicitis within the past couple OF
months. and folks are getting sort OF ner-
vous for fear the epidemic may spread
still further.

Catches Fire.

We don't know how many fish they
caught, but party OF Martinsourg fisher
men who spent last Saturday at Dam No.
A trying for the bass were minus one au-
tomobile as result of their expedition.
Ernest Luttrell, David o. Bartles, Robert
H. Boyd, E. b. Kettering and Wilmer
Shade were the unlucky fishermen, and
as they were returning home between I
and O'Clock in the evening their car
caught fire from an overheated engine
as they were going up the hill at W. /.
McQuikin's,a mile or two west OF Shep-
herdstown. There was no way OF ex-
tinguiShing the fire, so the fishermen
sat on the fence until the flames exhausted
themselves. Then they telephoned TO
Martinsburg for relief, and when another
car arrived they abandoned the damaged
machine to IFS fate. The burned car was
OF the vintage OF 1910, and the monetary
loss is not serious.

A Wonderful Rainbow.

An unusually vivid and beautiful rain
bow made wonderful arch over Shep-
herdstown Monday afternoon, following
a brief shower OF rain. One end OF. the
arch rested for time upon High street
opposite the college grounds, and there
was much talk about going after the pot
of gold which everyone knows is TO be
found at the end of a rainbow. But the
picture changed quickly and the oppor-
tunity was soon gone. We have never
seen the colors in a rainbow more dis
tinctly outlined they were all there
Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange
andred, vividly outlinedin celestial beauty.
Many persons witnessed the spectacle,
for the rainbow lasted long time, slowly
passing on TO eventually be dissipated
beyond the Maryland hills.

Spring Weather.

We have had aconglomeration ofweath-
er the past week, fully justifying Aprirs
reputation for fickleness. Last Friday
night the snakes were walked by thun-
der storm that passed over this section,
but which gave us no rain. Saturday
evening a severe thunder storm again
came up from the west, and there was
vivid lightning. sharp thunder and dash
OF rain. Sunday afternoon there was still
another storm, which came swiftly and
passed quickly, accompanied by brief
shower. Monday the weather got cold
again, with very chilly wind from the
north, and overcoats became stylish.
Tuesday night there was a very heavy
frost, and ice was formed, but il is not
thought that any injury was done TO veg
citation, as it is not far enough advanced
to be easily harmed.
During the storm Saturday night light
ming struck the dwelling house OF Seibert
Kline, mile or two northwest OF Rohr-
ersville, Md, and his little son Clarence,
five years old, was instantly killed. The
members of the family were seated in the
middle room OF the first floor. Clarence
was standing in front OF the door leading
to the porch, whicl, had been left aiar.
Twolamps were burning brightly. There
was crash, the lights were extinguished,
pictures and plaster torn from the walls
and then a silence reigned. Soon Mr..
Kline revived and lighted lamp. His
wife was lying on the floor unconscious.
Clarence, his son, was also stretched
upon the floor. Without waiting to see
if either were alive, Mr.. Kline ran to the
nearest phone and called DR.. Webster
Wade, of Boonsboro. The physician
fastened 10 the scene OF the accident, and
soon Mrs. Kline was revived enough to
sit up. The little boy was examined, the
physician stating that death had come in
simultaneously. The bolt of lightnin
which was so disastrous struck the end
of the house, followedthe chimney, thence
10 the window frames. The lightning
left no mark upon the child.
