AMENDED DRAFT OF
 NEW IRISH ORDERS
Full Approval Of Revised Consti'
 tuition Is Expected

London, June 15.-The amended draft of the Irish constitution came before the British signatories to the
 Anglo-Irish treaty today for final con. Isideration. Full approval was expect ed
 The meeting of the signatories was presided over by Prime Minister Lloyd George. Arthur Griffith was expected to join them later.
 Dublin, June (By the Associated Press)-It is anticipated in some quarters that the new constitution will be published here tomorrow which is election day. It is not thought likely however that the re- suits of the election will be influenced by such publication as the terms of sue in the campaign.
 The continued speculation in the prospects of the independent candi- date for seats in the southern parlia- ment is tempered by uncertainty as to how many of them will go to the polls. No withdrawals have been announced and those hopeful of their success build confidently on the fact that neither the shooting of Farmer Greene nor the attack on Darrell Figgis has produced any sign of weakening of fear of intimidation among the op- ponents of the Sim Fein panel.
 The city remains remarkably .un- affected. at least outwardly. by the imminence of the polling. The peo- pie apparently place more importance on what will happen when the new parliament meets. There is particular interest in the course of action to be adopted by Ramon de Valera, re- publican leader. Discussion turns con- stantly on the question whether he will become a member of the coali- tion government and what he will do about subscribing to the treaty, as he would be required to do if h. accept ed a seat in the cabinet.

BREAK IS FEARED
Wage Scale Negotiations Between Min.
 CTS and Operators Falling Down.

New York, June 15.-The break in the wage scale negotiations between the United Mine Workers and the anthracite coal operators appeared ir- reparable today as the union mem bers prepared to have for their homes.
 That the suspension of the hearings means a strike was the opinion of both sides of the controversy.
 Between 150,000, and 175,000 min CTS are out now. The strike of main- tenance mon five thousand of whom are on duty protecting the mining properties would place millions of dol lars worth of coal properties in jeo- pardy through water seepage and other dangers.

DISCOUNT RATE CUT
Banks of England Reduces its De- mand to Three and One Half Per Cent-is Big Surprise.

London, June 15.-The Bank of England today lowered it's discount rate to three and one half per cent a reduction of one half per cent from the figure established on May 1S last.
 The bank again took Lombard street by surprise in making this re- duction in the official minimum rate. The action is believed to have been taken largly through a desire to bring the rate more in line with the short loan market: which recently has had large funds employed at from one to two per cent while the bank rate

 Working in PaWtucket Area.

Lawrence, Mass, June 15.-Five men were arrested at the Pacific mills print works this morning during a demonstration by strike pickets which the police said was directed against a few persons who attempted to go to work Two of those arrested were charged with assault, one with inti- midation, one with interference and one with stone throwing.

BIG BOOM FOR BERKELEY.

The plans for the construction of the
ten million dollar automobile plant in
Berkeley county are going right along.
Other sections have been trying TO
get the promoters 10 consider offers,
but the Martlnsburg Journal announc-
eS that the decision to build there will
not he changed. The work of eXamin-
ing titles to the 5000 acres of land that
will be used, lying along the Martins
burg Winchester pike between Bunker
Hill and Ridgeway, is now under way.
The financial backing of the enter
prise has not vet been revealed, but
that the promoters are no pikcrs is
indicated by the statement of one OF
the agents that approximately 10000
homes will be erected by the company
for the use of its employees and other
individuals whose interests identify
them with the plant. Ii is figured that
approximately $1,000 male employees
will ultimately be provided through
this number Of homes, experience hav-
ing shown the interests that eight
out OF every ten homes in city of
that type furnish male employees.
The company will make the city COM
plete within itself, with water and
sewerage system, with houses built
OF hrcproot construction, with a street
and alley arrangement that will make
the town NJ once beautiful and sanitary.
II was indicated officially that local
or outside business interests would be
invited 10 come in for business pur-
poses with branch houses, and il was
also indicated that property for strict
ly community propositions, that would
tend to make more independent and
complete the city, would also be In
vited.
The Journal says that A. c. Ander-
son, of Detroit, name said to be
well-known in automobile circles,
would be in Martinsbugr within a few
days and would probably be the di-
recting agent for the interests here
after The George J. Setback tract of
i62 acres, living on both sides of the
Winchester pike and Immediately ad-
joining the railroad station, will be
taken over first, and on this tract the
plant itself will be built The other
land will be taken over as rapidly as
possible. but il was indicated il might
require two or three months to perfect
the title to all other property 1t was
! learned directly from the financial
agent that the tract is generally sat-
sfactory and that work will be started
on the actual construction Of the plant
within a very short time. Delivery Of
the material for the building was or
dered Monday, it was said, and il
was thought il would not be delayed.

Big Fire at Front Royal.

The town Of Front Royal, Va, about
forty miles south of Shepherdstown,
was seriously damaged by fire on Tues
day. The fire started in the large
Touring mill Of G. G. Proctor & Son,
which was totally destroyed, together
with 10000 bushels Of wheat and large
quantities OF -four, feed, etc. Several
business buildings on Main street
we're destroyed, and eight or ten
dwelling houses were burned. Be-
cause of the long drought the water
supply was very low, but dam was
quickly built across a creek at the
edge OF town by students from Ran
dolph- Macon Academy, and fire en-
gines that been sent from Winchester
and Strasburg pumped water from
the stream and saved the town from
what might have been total destruction.
The loss is placed at nearly S250,0OO.

QUEER CONDOLENCES.

Among the callers at the Register
oficc yesterday was James p. Conley,
who was on his way from Bardane
TO spend some tins with the family
OF +. W Myers, west OF tow. He in
forms MS that his sister. Mrs. No:iie
lruSSell. is getting along rs wei as
could be expected, considering the
serious accident that befell her several
weeks ago, when her hip was broken
eN tall frcm her couch Can anyone
explain the evil spirit that has follow
cd the Conley family and afflicted
them with broken hiTs? Mr.. Conley
told us some curious facts II tn con-
neetion. Many years ago mis- grand
father, John Unseld, who lived on the
Snowman farm southeast of town, was
the victim of this pestferous influence.
AS he was riding TO town one day his
horse slipped on the icy road and fell
with him, and Mr.. Unseld's hip was
broken so badly that some time after
ward his death resulted. Later Mr..
Conley's uncle, Collins Unseld, suffer
ed broken hip, from which he never
recovered. The third member OF the
family TO suffer from a similar afflic-
ton was his mother, Mrs. Prudence
Conley, a daughter of the John Unseld
above named. One day, some twenty
odd years ago, she fell from her chair
and broke her hip, causing her death
some time afterward. About fifteen
years ago, her daughter Mrs. Bayliss
Trussell, formerly Miss Nettie Conley,
slipped on an icy board in her yard,
and her hip was broken. She had been
almost helpless ever since, and three
or four weeks ago she fell from couch
on which she was lying and sustained
another fracture OF the hip, and will
probably never walk again, as she is
far advanced in years. The fifth mem
ber OF the family to suffer similar
fracture was George NJ. ID. Conley, a
brother, who stepped from the wall Of
the Shepherd College campus on a
certain dark night and broke his hip
SO badly that he was cripple when he
died. James Conley is the sixth vic
tim Of this peculiar Nemesis. Five
years ago he stepped from a porch in
the darkness and the fall broke his
hip. He was getting about again from
this accident when a horse was start
led by a sudden clap OF thunder and
drew back on rope, throwing Mr.
Conlev to the ground and again break.
ing his hip. This is a most extraor-
dinary chain OF events, and curious OBJ
servers may we'll ponder at the malign
influences II such there be, that causes
this series OF accidents Despite his
affection, Mr.. .Conleykeeps cheerful and
brave, and though he has to 20 about
on crutches he keeps moving. He is
! 7S years old, but Is young in spirit
and manner, as good Confederate
soldier ought to be.

News from California.

G. w. Hoffman, Of Shepherdstown,
who with Mrs. Hoffman is spending the
winter in California, writes us as fol-
lows from that State:
Since coming to the southern part OF
California a month ago, we have spent
our time at Long Beach, taking things
in around here, including the Cata-
lima Islands and other nice places.
This past Sunday we spent at the "Old
Bell Mission" at Riverside the guests
Of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Folk, who now
live in Pasadena, but who are some OF
our Jefferson county folks that still
have a warm place in their hearts for
old West Virginia, including the dear
old town, as they speak OF Shepherds
town. 1t is wonderful sight to 60
through the old mission and view the
things as they were more than CEN
tury ago. We also spent a few Sum
days ago a very pleasant afternoon
with another OF our Jefferson coun-
ty boys, Mr.. Sam Knott and family,
and also met Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Koontz, who were visiting their un-
Gle Sam the same afternoon.
We leave here next week and 60
further south to San Diego and Mex
ico, where we will spend few days
then come back and locate in Pasa-
dena for while.

An Ideal Fall.

The !ovely fall weather that had pre-
vailed the past two months came to
an end on Monday. The past fall has
been the most beautiful we have ever
known in this section. The days have
been mild and sunshiny and pleasant,
with a shower now and then to keep
vegetation fresh and settle the dust
and occasional frosts to give the right
tang 10 the air and color the autumn
foliage. The perfect weather has been
most agreeable in every respect, and
the farmers have seldom had such ia
yorable conditions for doing their fall
work. Last Sunday was an ideal day,
balmy and pleasant and sunny, with
the Indian summer haze that makes
some Of our autumn days so won
derful. Monday the change came. A
cold wind swept out OF the north and
brought us our first touch of winter,
and Tuesday and Wednesday were
crisp. cold days. Yesterday we had
our FIRST snow--a few flakes falling
from a leaden morning sky as a re-
minder that we may expect more later
on. II was enough to indicate a real
winter, for according to the old adage
there will be twenty-five SHOWS as the
first came on the 22d day OF the
month. However, no matter what may
be in store, we have the pleasant ex-
periences of the past autumn.
