Man Mangled at the Junction.


Last Sunday morning at l.39 o'clock
when passenger train No. 9 pulled out OF
Shenandoah Junction Charles c. Triplett,
who had met the train there, heard a
groan and was Mortified to see the bleed
ing form OF man lying on the track be-
tween the rails. Assistance was called
for and the poor fellow was carried to
the station, where an examination was
made and such aid as was possible was
given him. He was dreadfuly hurt, both
feet being crushed, his face badly cut and
his head and back bruised. He was
conscious, and said that he had been
riding the blind baggage and had fallen
between the cars as the train started from
the Junction. Every car had passed over
him, but as he lay close TO the rail on one
side he had escaped instant death, though
his feet had been caught under the wheels.
He was sent TO the City Hospital in Mar
tinsburg on the next train, where il was
found necessary TO amputate both feet
above the ankles.
The young fellow was a man OF splen-
did physique, apparently about Is years
old. He gave his name as Joseph Nc
Quinn, although his right name is Joseph
McEachern, and said that he was from
San Mateo, California. He was boxer
or prize-fighter, and had been wandering
over the country until the disaster at the
Junction put an end 10 his pugilistic ca
reer. The latest news from the hospital
is that he will probably recover, though
he is manned for life.

riously that he is in a critical condi-
ton it is not expected he will recover.
The car was loaded with beer and whis-
key which had been gotten in Sharpsburg
and the bottles being smashed the air
was burdened with the odor OF the liquor.
Last Friday night Ford Car driven by
Edward Cummings, OF Harper'S Ferry,
with cargo OF negroes and liquor, was
struck by freight train at Crows crossing
on a return trip from Sharpsburg. The
driver, lis said, instead OF going on across
the railroad, steered the car down the
tracks, and in Dumping along on the ties

has remained estranged from him for the
past six years, despite his efforts 10 get
her 10 return 10 her home in Oklahoma.
He declares in his bill OF complaint that
he and his wife formerly resided near
Summit Point, when the defendant began
10 pay his wife attention. The husband
sold off his property and moved TO Okla
homa TO get rid OF the attentions OF the
defendant, and says that all went we'll
with him and his wife until she returned
to Jefferson county or a visit in March,
1910. He AYERS that since that time his
wife has been under the influence OF the
defendant, and that they have been guilty
OF adultery on various occasions. which
are mentioned in the bill. The plaintiff
says that he has made repeated efforts to
get his wife 10 return TO him, but that she
has refused, and that the defendants in
fluence is the cause OF their separation.
He therefore asks SIS, 900 for his wound
ed affections and the loss Of the society
and comfort OF his absent spouse.

In Realms of Rest.

Mrs. Sarah E. BosIer, widow Of JOSEPH

her home in Carlisle, Pa, in the list yea
of her age. She had been in impaired
health for several months, but seemed tc
have improved to some extent. She was
taken suddenly i'll Wednesday at mid
night, and in few hours had passed
away. Mrs. Bosler, who had a large
family connection in Jefferson and Berke-
ley counties, was born near Hedgesville
her parents being Thomas Newton and
Margaret Billmyer Lemen, representing
two OF the leading families OF this section.
She was married to Mr.. Bosler in 1865
and went to Carlisle, where her entire
married life was spent in the fine old
Bosler residence on High street. Her
husband, who was prominent as banker
manufacturer and western land owner,
died about three years ago. OF seven
children who were born TO Mr.. and Mrs
Bosler, six survive, as follows: Mrs. F.
Mortimer Lawrence, OF Englewood Cliffs
N. J.; Joseph, Jr, Carlisle; Mrs. Leon I.
Ashcraft, of Philadelphia; Misses Mary
and Sue at home, and Newton l., OF
Philadelphia. The funeral service was
held on Monday last. Mrs. BoSler was
a woman OF high character and unusual
intellect, and her death will be greatly
regretted. Although she had lived away
from her native State for almost half
century, she never lost her love for her
old home, and the friends OF her early
days were dear to her 10 the very last
She maintained a lively interest in the
affairs OF this section and kept herself
we'll informed through the reading OF our
local papers. We are sorry TO note her
passing, for in her death good woman
has gone.
Simeon H. Knight, much-eSte emed
resident OF this county, died last We'd

Good Roads.

Good Roads.
II is only little while back since JET
ferson county had the reputation OF hav-
ing the second best roads in run from
New York City to Atlanta, Ga. Since
that time, through the increased and
varied traffic upon our roads, they have
reached point where some definite policy
aside from the one now prevailing must
be adopted, or we are soon 10 be road
less.
With the roads as they are, il is quite
impossible TO bring them up TO any con-
dition OF efficiency with the present rate
OF taxation prevailing. The money is all
gone now for the improvement OF the
roads this year and there has been but a
beginning toward improvement. The
question is, what will the condition OF the
roads one year from now be II left TO the
wear and tear without anything further
being done TO them.
There are two methods adopted by
communities for the improvement orroaos:
one is 10 authorize the County Court TO
increase the levy for road purposes, and
the other is to issue series OF bonds.
These two plans will produce better roads.
The latter method will give US the good
roads at once, and the former method will
defer the making Of good roads through
out the district for several years, as the
increased taxation could not be made
enough TO build more than ten miles OF
permanent road per year, and thai would
take five years at least to cover the dis
trict.
II is given out that there is 10 be good
roads meeting in Shepherdstown on Sat-
urday, August 18th, 10 consider The prop
position OF improving the roads, and it
ought TO be the part OF every lover OF the
community to be present at that meeting
and aid in solving this important problem.

miums in all grades All who are inter

ought TO encourage the Charles Town
horse show. not only by exhibiting the
best stock, but by attendance and patron

Church when one OF the wheels came OH

vehicle drop. The fifth wheel cut the
horses legs and the animal began to ruin

though the situation was dangerous her
GOODNESS prevented disaster. She held
on TO the lines and succeeded in stopping
the frightened animal in front OF the Reg

DEEP DOPE ON
 THE SIX QUESTION

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 2.-To all daughters of Eve who have leap year intentions, the vocational guide and we'll known bachelor William J.. Kibby, today offers advice concerning the habits, characteristics and dis positions of various sorts of mea, which is intended to help the girls win their hearts desires without suf- fering rcbufT in the process. A good deal of what Hibby says is based upon phrenology. A man who has thin, straight lips is branded a cold blood ed, stony hearted creature upon whom the dearest girls appeal would have no effect. This sort of man will do his own proposing, run his own we'd ding and rule his household; and hell do it more with is head than with his heart. But if the man of your choice has full, wcil-formed lips, Eippy says you may depend upon his capacity for and inclination to, love. He also is susceptible to the right sort of feminine approach. Hibby says the way to tell whether the one you love, loves you, is by the coloring of the under lip when he is with you. Every human emotion gives some physical demonstration when it is aroused. The evidence that love has been aroused is given by the deep crimson ing of the under lip. If his under lip is perpetually pale when he is without, he doesn't love you If it is crimson and you want him, grab him quick; he won't run A man with a broad, square, massive forhead is a good business man; he can plan ahead, has good business judgment. If the crown of his head is high and round he is absolutely conscientious
 too; and if the back of his head is well rounded out he will love his home, his wife and his children and show them

consideration above everything else in the world. The man whose head is
 flat on top, flat and almost even with his ears in the back and narrow and foreshOrtened on the front; whose lips are thin, whose eyes are cold, will not make a good husband in any sense of the word, says Kibby. The longer a mans jaw bone, the greater his capacity for affection, according to Eibby. All these things are as ap- pHcable to women as to men, in the experts opinion.
