Tabler, about four miles northwest ot Shepherdstown, by which their son Charles lost his life. The little boy, who was about three year3 old, in some way managed to reach a cat rifle that was hanging on the porch, and it ig thought he punched at the trigger with a stick until the weapon was discharged. The bullet entered his forehead and penetrated his brain, causing his death in a very short time. His parents were greatly distressed at the accident, which happened when both of them were at another place on the premises. LITTLE L0CAL8.

Dr. Charles W. Link, a well-known dentist of Martinsburg and a former resident of Duffields, this county, met with a painful accident last Saturday evening. He was riding rapidly on a bicycle when a dog ran in front of the machine and he was thrown heavily to the ground. His left arm was badly broken near the shoulder.

Charles Town now has a street fair and carnival in its "midst." This is ah innovation in this part of West Yircrinia and nno tan 'f rrroof I public benefit. If Chaile9 Town has an experience similar to that of towns in the western part of the State which have indulged in such performances, it will be a long time before another fair is permitted. Eight or ten members of Company of Hagerstown, Capt. Geo. L.

Fisher in command, came to Shepherdstown last Sunday evening to decorate the grave of Private Harry Turner. Brief exercises were held at the grave, including prayer by Rev. A. H. McKinley and a few remarks by Captain Fisher.

The storm that prevailed during the afternoon caused the Bmall attendance. Another hail storm passed over this section last Sunday evening, causing some damage to the growing wheat and corn west of towu. The cloud came from the south and was very angry looking. As it approached the roar of the hail could be distinctly heard, and presently the icy pellets fell thick and fast. Fortunately they n-pro nnt vpre larop and tbp storm was not nearly bo destructive as that east ol town a few week ago.

The most damage seems to have been done on Mrs. Andrews' farm, where the wheat was cut quite badly and almost entirely destroyed. At a meeting of the members of the Order of Railway Telegraphers employed on the Norfolk and Western Railway in Roanoke last Saturday night, at which nearly 100 members were present, it was decided to expel all members of the order over the entire system who did not stand firm in their support ol the union in their recent strike contest with the Southern Express Company, which resulted entirely to the satisfaction of the telegraphers after a struggle of nearly three months. The men who resumed work for the express company after entering the strike were called "scabs" and were also expelled from the union. During the severe storm that passed over Berkeley county Monday afternoon lightning struck the barn on Daniel Stuckey's farm at Tomahawk, started a fire that entirely destroyed the building and its contents, and killed George Miller and William Edwards, Miller was driving past the place when rain began falling.

He stopped to take shelter in the barn, wheu the fatal bolt caused his instant death. He was 45 years old and leaves a wife and several children. Edwards was an unmarried man, 28 years old, and had been employed by Mr. Stuckey. Two other men in the barn at the time were badly stunned.

The barn was a pew one, valued at $2,000. It was partially insured. Stockholders of the Norfolk Western Railway Company met in Roanoke last Friday and authorized the issuance of $35,000,000 4 per cent 40-year gold bonds. The bonds that are to be issued are to be designated as "divisional" and "first lien" and will be a general mortgage. The Guaranty Trust Company of New York was named as trustee.

The mortgage to be executed will be a deed of trust upon the company's railways, equipments and all other property owned aud hereafter acquired. The proceeds of the sale of bonds are to be devoted to completion of the houble-track work, building of new lines and general improvements. It is understood that the road will he double-tracked from Bluefield to Norfolk and other extensive improvements and extensions are contemplated. At a meeting of the Board of Regents of the State Normal Schools in Wheeling last Friday the teachers for the several schools were appointed for the ensuing year. There were very few changes, and all of the principals were reappointed.

The faculty at Shepherd College is the same as last year, except that Miss Pendleton, the music teacher, was not reappointed? her place will be filled later. The corps of teachers is as follows at our school: Principal, J. G. lvnutti; assistant to principal, John D. Muldoon teachers, Mrs.

Mabel Henshaw-Gardiner, Miss Anna B. Woolery, Miss Elizabeth M. Stalnaker, Miss Blanche Corbin, John B. Triplett; elocution teacher, Miss Alma D. Stier.

Our people generally will be glad to know that the present excellent faculty of Shepherd College is to be retained. It is one of the strongest in the State, and the work of Shepherd College is outclassed by no other normal school in West Virginia. The honeymoon of Mr. and Mrs. T.

Martin Boyle', ot Hagerstown, seems to have had ite interesting features, according to a news item from Boston, dated June 19th: It says. M. Boyle, of Hagerstown, spent the second night of his honeymoon in the Boston City Hospital, just because he i did not know how to take morphine. His bride, who was Miss Kitty McCarty, of Hagerstown, is awaiting his recovery at the Castle Square Hotel. The excitement of the honeymoon, an experience new to both, was too much for Boyle's nerves, and last night a nervous headache resulted.

His young wife insisted on going to a drug store near by to get some medicine. While she was gone Boyle went out and bought some morphine. He took a big dose and went to bed. When Mrs. Boyle returned soon after with what she said was just the thing, hubby swallowed it without question.

Then he looked at the bottle, labeled two tablets every three His headache left him, but his hair stood on eud as he thought ol the possibilities, and by the time he was dressed, the drug had begun its work. Outdoors he fell unconscious in a doorway and a police ambulance trundled him to the hospital. He will recover." PERS0NAL8. Paymaster J. S.

Phillips, of the U. S. Navy, leaves today for Washington, and on Saturday will sail for San Juan, Porto Rico, to join the American squadron in the Carribbean Sea.

IV liauiuau uan rtaj Duffields and Shenandoah Junction. Here lies buried, also, General William Darke and his son, John Darke. It was from this graveyard that the West Virginia Historical Society removed the aged tombstone of Catherine Beierlin, 1707, to preserve it. Joseph E.

Engle has enjloBed this old God's acre with a strong new fence and put up a new tombstone to his great-grandfather, Fhilip Engle. Died November 21st, J830. Departed this life on the 21st. Mr. Philip Engle, of this county, aged 87 years.

1 month and 12days. Mr. Engle was born in the city of Lancaster, and emigrated tojetrerson county, at the age of twelve years, with his father, Mr. Melchor Engle. who was one of the first settlers of this county.

1755. lie settled on Elk Branch, where he left a handsome estate, 505 acres, to his offspring, upon which the deceased resided until his death. At an earlyage he married Miss Mary Darke, sister of General William Darke, of the Rev- I olutionary War, by whom he had eleven children. After her death he married Isabella Polock, by whom he had seven children, making eighteen in all. He had also seventy-five grand-children and forty-five great-grand-children.

During the Revolutionary struggle he served a campaign under Gen. Gates in the Carolinas, but was fortuMate enough to not gei into active service, owing probably to being one of the General's guards. Hjs patriotism was never doubted, as he ever bore the mark republican and exalted in the rise of his country to power and glory. He was an atfcctionate husband, an indulgent parent and obliging neighbor. Nor Ka wo a Kumhlo fnllnwpr was mis an nc oti of the meek and lowly Jesus, in whose merits and mediatiops he trusted for salvation.

When he left this earthly tabernacle of clay it was with the hope that he would enter it again at the rising day, corrected and revised. William Waters, M.D. His Family Physician.

One of the worst accidents that has happened in Jefferson county in a long time occurred last Saturday afternoon, when two Shepherdstown men lost their lives and a third was badly hurt. The new traction engine and stone crusher recently purchased by the county, and in charge of Pike Commissioner James K.

Hendricks, has been used for crushing stone on the Kabletown and Bloomery turnpike at it I Weirick's mill, about 6i miles soutn 01 Charles Town. It had crossed the bridge and finished crushing a lot of stone, and about one o'clock it was determined to bring it back. John Wise, the engineer, and Melvin and Silae Shipley, helpers with the crueher, all from Shepherdstown, were on the traction engine, which waB drawing the stone crusher. The two machines weighed together 15 tons, and their combined weight was too much for the iron bridge, which spanned the stream at a height of about 16 feet. Just as the front wheels of the engine had reached the firm roadway, and when another half minute would have meant safety, the bridge collapsed.

The rear part of the engine dropped and caueed the huge machine to turn a complete somersault as it crashed to the shore of the stieam below, and the ponderous crusher added its fearful weight to the wreck. There was no chance to jump, so euddeu was the collapse of the bridge, and the three unfortunate men were caught in the machinery as they fell. Wise was caught under the engine and instantly killed. His neck was broken, his head was cut and his body crushed. Silas Shipley was the first to get out ot the wreck.

Scalding steam enveloped it, and he was badly burned before he escaped. Melvin Shipley was caught by his loot and held fast, enveloped in the steam. He was horribly burned by it and scaldiug water from the broken injector pipe. He had about given up hope when he caught the spokesmf a wheel and pulled himself loose, tearing his shoe from his foot. The two young men managed to get a safe distance from the eteain, and when help came were taken to the home of Robert J.

Weirick, near the scene of theaccident. Drs. Miller and Neill were summoned at once and gave them medical attention, doing everything possible to relieve their intense sufferings. A trained nurse was also placed in attendance. Melvin Shipley, who was 1G years old, was horribly burned, the flesh on his body being literally cooked.

He lingered until Monday morning, when death ended his suffering about half-past nine o'clock. His brother Silas, who is 18 years old, is getting along fairly well, and will probably recover. The bodv of John Wise was recov ered from the wreck as soon as possible and taken to Charles Town and prepared for burial. Sunday morning it was brought to Shepherdstown.and after service in the Southern Methodist church, conducted by Rev. D.

P. Eutsler, was interred in the Reformed Cemetery. Mr. Wise was about 38 years old, and had lived in Shepherdstown nearly all his life. He is survived by his wife and his aged mother.

Monday evening the body of Melvin Shipley was brought here to the home of his father, Fonrose Shipley. The funeral service was held yesterday morning in the Episcopal church, Rev. C. E. A.

Marshall officiating, and the interment took place in Elmwood Cemetery. The sad results of the accident caused great regret iu this community, where all the victims were well known. The bridge that was wrecked was an iron structure of about forty feet span, and was erected by the Pittsburg Bridge Company in 1891. The engine and crusher were on the east side, it is said, and the heavy weight was too much for it, causing it to give way on that side. Poesibly if the machinery hail been in the center it might have stood the strain.

The tnna nf the abutments were nulled off. w- I The members of the County Court went to the scene of the accident on Monday to take action in regard to rebuilding the bridge, etc. Reinhart's Pharmacy Successful. INDUCED DIl. HOWARD OMPANY TO MAKE SPECIAL PRICE.
