Apple Orchards Sold

An apple orchard deal of consider.
able magnitude was consummated the
first of the week, when the 9S-acre
orchard of David Lemen, Of Shep-
herdstown, and the late c. w. Boyer
of Berkeley county, was sold to Geo
M. Bowers, Jr., and Lieth Griffith, fol-
S45,0OO. This orchard is one of the
most promising in the Berkeley coun
ty fruit region, as it is mostly in young
trees which are just coming into full
bearing. 1t is located near Bunker
Hill, and was under the care of Mr.
Boyer until his death last fall. His
death, and the fact that Mr.. Lemen is
in poor health and does not wish to
continue in the business, caused the
decision to sell. II is understood that
the property will be taken over by q
corporation that is TO be formed.

Disastrous Farm Fire.

The large bank barn on the farm OF
Mrs. Isaac H. Strider, near Leetowu.
this county, was completely destroyed
by fire last Monday morning between
10 and II o'clock, together with prac-
ticallY all CT its contents, including farm
ing implements and feed owned by the
tenant, Samuel M. Huyett. Mr.. Huyett
had been engaged in hauling fodder from
the field to The barn, and while wagon
load was being stacked against the build
ing the tire was noticed blazing among
the fodder that had been placed in the
barn. The flames spread with uncon-
trolled rapidity. and in a short time the
whole structure was ablaZe. Several
horses that were in the stable were got
ten out. and one or two pieces! OF farm
machinery. including manure spreader.
were saved, but everything else was
burned-binder, mower. cultivalors. and
other valuable implements, harness, ETC.,
as well as all OF the hay and lot OF fod-
der and other feed. II was complete
destruction Of building and contents, and
nothing could be done but watch the
property 90 up in smoke. The corn
crib, near by. containing most OF the
corn crop, was fortunately spared by
the flames. Mrs. Strider had an in
surauce Of 81 500 on the barn with Wash
ington. Alexander & Cooke. but this
will hardly cover half Of the loss. Mr.
Huyett. whose loss is probably more
than $1,000, had 81 $50 insurance with
the same firm. How the fire originated
is mystery.

Old Jail Yard Wall Going.

The stone wall around three sides
of the old Jefferson county jail yaro
is being torn down, some OF the ma
terial going into the wall - separate
the rear yard of the new iaii froM
adjacent property. The old wall has
been a barrier round .he jail yard
since the oldest resident OF the town
can remember. It was over this wal
that Edwin Copic and John A. Cook,
two of John Browns raiders, tried to
escape from Jail early one frosty
night in December, 1889, after they
had been sentenced to death foi
taking part in the insurrection at
Harper's Ferry October II OF the same
year. =, ,
The two men worked hole through
the brick wall OF their cell, concealing
the particles Of mortar and brick In
stove, and had gotten out in the Jail
ward through the hole. Out OF pie
OF lumber found in the jail yard they
improvised a scaffold against the yard
wall. Mounting this, Copic, to test
the vigilance OF the armed guard sur"
rounding the building, put his hat or
the end OF a stick and held il over the
wall. A shot from one Of the guards
greeted this camouhage and sealed
the fate of Copic and his companion.
They were put back in jail and more
closely guarded until their execution
