Monument Site Still In Dispute. Mr. Bohn, of the engineering staff of the Norfolk Western Railway, was in Shepherdstown on Tuesday, at the request of Henry W. Potts, president of the Rumseyan Society, to mark the lines of the property purchased by the society as a site for the proposed monument to James Rumsey, inventor of the steamboat. It will be recalled that the society purchased several acres of land from the railroad company for this purpose, the company making a very moderate price on the property, just as preparations were being made to begin work on the project, U.

S. Martin, who is mayor ot the town, notified Mr. Potts that he claimed a part of the bluft at the precise spot where the monument is to be erected. Mr. Bohn was here on Tuesday with maps and other data, and he declared that the railroad company conveyed to the society only such property as it had a right to sell.

He states that Mr. Martin's claim is not a valid one, but Mr. Martin is very firm in I hie eland that he owns the small strin of rock in dispute, and he asks as much for the few square feet at the top of the bluh as the railroad sold an acre for. Naturally the society objects to paying twice for the same land, neither does it wish to engage in a law suit that will mean costly litigation and tedious delay. It is very unfortunate for many reasons that the enterprise is blocked.

The State authorities have urged that the work be commenced before the first of July, and delay may mean considerable embarrassment, if not serious complications. For The Equal Suffrage Cause. A meeting in the interest of the equal suffrage cause will be held in Shepherdstown Friday evening of this week at 7 o'clock, in the library ot Shepherd College. Addresses will be delivered by Mrs. Wesley Martin Stoner, of Washington, and Mrs.

J. Gale Ebert, of Parkersburg. A cordial invitation is extended to the people of this and women attend this meeting and learn something of the question to be voted upon in West Virginia next year. These ladies are known nationally for their interest in the cause, and it will he worth while to hear them. Everybody will be welcome.

Mrs. J. Gale Ebert and Mrs. Wesley Martin Stoner, the speakers of the evening for the suffrage meeting on Friday, will stay over night with Mrs. Edwin Jarrett.

We are asked to announce that Mrs. Ebert and Mrs. Stoner will be at home to the general public at Wild Goose Farm for afternoon tea on Friday, and will be gratified to meet informally any of our citizens who take an interest in the proposed amendment to our State Constitution. The hour is half-past four. Seasonable Snake Stories.

Tuesday morning while Robert Banks was plowing corn with a blind horse the animal became frightened and refused to walk ahead in the furrow. Investigating the cause of the horse's alarm, Mr. Banks discovered a blacksnake some five feet in length lying on the ground. He killed the snake, and thereupon the horse quietly resumed its work. The question is: How did the horse know that the snake was there Will Walker, who lives in the Scrabble neighborhood, hauled a big blacksnake to town last Monday with a load of logs, and the snake was turned loose near the freight station.

Agent Waddy is stepping lightly just now and keeps one eye open for snakes all the time. Some workmen killed a blacksnake at the entrance to the Wild Goose Farm a few days ago that measured six feet in length. It had probably strayed from Wm. H. Johnson's place in Terrapin Neck, as we understand that several of his collection were missing when he counted them last.

It is expected that a great many snakes will be seen between this place and Sharpsburg the coming season. Memorial Day. A large crowd of persons attended the Confederate memorial day services in rAoif iftarnAAn Stiepnerasiown oamiuaj aiiviuvun. The weather was delightful, and visitors came from every direction in automobiles and other vehicles. The procession to the cemetery, participated in by Veterans and Sons of Veterans, was in charge of Capt.

R. T. Banks, and at the cemetery Henry C. Reynolds acted as commandant i and took charge of the service. After the exercises at the monument, the address of the day was delivered by Rev.

Absalom Knox, pastor of the Southern Methodist Church of this place. His address was an earnest, inspiring one and was appreciated by the large audience that listened to it attentively. Excellent music was furnished by a choir of local singers. The occasion was an impressive one in every respect, and full honors were ac corded the departed heroes. The grave of every soldier in the cemetery was decorated with flowers and a Confederate flag waved in the gentle breeze above the resting place of each of those who have crossed over to be with their great commanders.

The Sad Drowning of Roy Staley. The Register last week gave a brief ac1 count of the drowning of Roy Landis Staley, son of Mr. James P. Staley, which occurred about noon on Thursday. The sad affair occurred after a part of ouredition had been printed, and as we were unable at that time to give the details of the dis; tressing occurrence, we now relate the particulars.

The young man, who was 21 years, 10 months and 5 days old, and who lived a 1 short distance east of town, had gone down the river road to watch the flood in the Potomac, stopping at John W. Mitchell's place. One of Mr. Mitchell's chickens was marooned on a fence, and he had a boat in which he thought he would row to the place and get it. Roy got in the boat with him, as did Freel Daniels also.

The boat began to leak, and Mr. Daniels got out and stood on a fence. The two men continued down the stream, keeping within Mr. Mitchell's lot, where there seemed no particular danger and where the water was smooth. When they got to the end of the lot a pile of drift against the fence had deflected the current, causing it to shoot swiftly out toward the river.

The boat was carried against a couple of small trees at the edge of a swift and dangerous looking current, and they were unable to manage it. In trying to hold it back the water began to pour into the boat, and in another moment it sank beneath them. This occurred a short distance below Mr. Mitchell's home, in the public road, where the water was perhaps six feet deep and vprv cu'ift RnlH mpn were submerged in the rushing water. They came up and Mr.

Mitchell was carried to a pile of drift that had lodged against some trees, but Roy sank again, to be seen alive no more. Mr. Mitchell was almost done for, but he held on to the drift until it began to give way, when he managed to find temporary safety in a tree. His calls for help soon brought assistance, and Samuel Muck and several others got a boat and went to the scene. Mr.

Muck maneuvered the boat to the exhausted man at considerable peril, and rescued him from his dangerous position. The ordeal was a trying one for Mr. Mitchell, and he was very nervous for a time. Word of the drowning was soon brought to town, and a number of persons immediately went to the scene. The turbulent waters, still rising, made any effort to recover the body impractical, and it was not until Saturday, when the waters had receded, that it could be searched for.

Saturday afternoon a number of persons sought to find it, and Walter Caton and J. W. and Elmer Marshall were the first to observe it. They noticed a partly submerged coat at the edge of the water, and the body was thus located. It was held down by a piece of driftwood, and was only a few yards from the place where the boat had capsized.

It is said that there was no water in the lungs, indicating that the shock and the knowledge of the danger had caused death before the young man had sunk beneath the water. The body, which was in good condition, was taken in charge by Undertaker Ferrell, who embalmed it and prepared it for burial. kom qiimhqv i lie lUIIClai OCI Vltc was llfclU uuuuu; afternoon in the Reformed Church, which Roy had been a member, and was conducted by his pastor, Rev. Guy P. Bready.

It was one of the largest funerals ever known here, the church being filled to its utmost capacity while a hundred or more persons were unable to gain admittance. Members of Roy's Sunday school class carried beautiful floral tributes, of which there was the greatest profusion. The body was buried in the cemetery adjoining the church. Roy Staley was one of the best young men in our community. Of quiet rranner and gentle behavior, exemplary in his conduct and the best of habits, he was esteemed by all who knew him.

Only good could be spoken of him. His sad death has brought grief not only to his own family, but many friends sorrow that he has been cut oft just as he had entered manhood's estate. He is survived by his father, and his devoted step-mother; a brother, Lester Staley a sister, Mrs. Wm. A.

Tabler, of Baltimore; a stepbrother, Walter Staley, and a step-sister, Mrs. Walter Caton, of this vicinity. A distressing incident of the affair was the fact that Mr. Staley, Roy's father, was away from home when the drowning occurred. He had gone to Richmond to attend the Confederate reunion, and did not learn of the death of his son until he had gotten to Berryvilie, where his son Lester met him on the train.

The shock was a terrible one when he was told the sad news. His friends extend to him and to the other members of the family great sympathy in this time of affliction. At Richmond. Messrs. John P.

Kearfott, Jos. B. VanMetre and Mayberry McKee, three old Confederates from this neighborhood who attended the reunion in Richmond, last week, made a pilgrimage to the famous Yellow Tavern, six or eight miles out from the city, while they were enjoying the reunion. They readily recognized the spot where they had a terrific fight, as members of Company First Virginia Cavalry, on May 11, 1864, with an overwhelming force of cavalry under General Sheridan. It was in this en1 gagement that Gen.

J. E. B. Stuart, the daring and dashing Confederate cavalry' man, was killed, and Captain Kirk mond, commanding Company also lost his life. The veterans enjoyed visiting these historic scenes, though there was a tinge of sadness as they thought of their gallant comrades who had sacrii ficed their lives in the bloody battles that centered around Richmond.

William L. Arthur, Remington Spotts and several others from this neighborhood visited the Confederate Soldiers' Home while they were in Richmond. They saw a number of old comrades there. Tony Overton and Alex Beard, members of Company Second Virginia Regiment, have positions at the home, the former being a commissary officer and the latter adjutant. Mr.

Arthur had not seen these fnr fiftv vears vet thev recoe nized each other and "Tony" greeted M3ill" by name. They also saw at the home Jerry B. Sheffler, a member ot Company and Frank Voorhees, who be" longed to a Berkeley company. The torn and tattered battleflag of the Second Virginia priceless relic of the famous old Stonewall Brigade carried in the parade on Thursday and attracted great attention. This is the flag followed by most of the men from this county, and they value it above every other relic of the war.

Captain John F. Foley was the color-bearer in Richmond. June Weddings. Rev. Dr.

Charles Ghiselin, pastor of the Shepherdstown Presbyterian Church, d( and Miss Virginia Van Swearingen Rein- fr hart, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Hess Reinhart, were married last Thursday evening at fnlr after six o'clock yi at the home of the bride's parents in this place. The ceremony was performed by di Rev.

For The New Dormitory. Principal Thos. C. Miller of Shepherd College has received instructions from the State Board of Control to go ahead with the plans for a dormitory for this school, for which $26,000 is now available. It was originally intended to erect this structure on the site east of the main college building, but there is now a desire to reserve this ground as a part the campus and for tennis courts, and to secure a new location for the dor- mitory.

Mr. Miller would like to have a plot of ground of three or four acres in r' or adjacent to the town, which would serve not only as a site for the dormitory but provide ground also for experimental purposes. He will be glad to receive offers of land suitable for this purpose 1 We hope that a desirable location may be secured and that work on the dormi- 1 tory may soon be commenced.
