On Monday the last spike in the A 1 L- I I vi mj. ltauruau Cherry Hun and North Mountain was driven and the lines of rails joined together. The new link is now completed, save for ballasting and aligning.

General Superintendent N. D. Maher, of the Noifolk Western Railway, has refused the request of the Business Men's Association of Shepherdstown that a telephone be placed in the station at this place. This is extremely enterprising on the part of Mr. Maher and the railroad he represents.

The senior class of Shepherd College gave a reception iu College hall last Saturday night to the members of the junior class and the faculty. The amusements of the evening were suggestive of the Hallow E'en spirit and there was lots of merrymaking among the young folks. The hall was prettily adorned with the class colors and autumnal objects. Hallow fj en was observed iu a mua and respectable manner last Saturday night. The boys and girls threw corn and other harmless missiles and indulged in a few pranks that injured no one, but there was no wanton destruction of property like there was last year.

A few old agricultural implements were hauled to Main street from a vacant lot. Sergeant Shipley staid up until 3 o'clock to keep down disorder. Mrs. Emma Moore, who lives on Sandy Ridge, met with a very paiuful accident oue day last week. She I was driving along the road near her home when her horse frightened and turned suddenly, upsetting the carriage ami throwing her out.

Mrs. Moore was badly cut about the head and had her arms epraiued so badly that she has since been unable to use them. Dr. Banks gave her surgical attention. The Pittsburg Dispatch of last Sunday contained a page of illustrations of Sons of Confederate Veterans, among them being a half-tone cut of W.

H. Kearfott, Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, Rev. Dr. Charles Ghiselin, Chaplain of the Wast Virginia Division, and A. M.

S. Morgan, Department Adjutant and Chief of Staff. There were aiso pictures of Mips fleeter Melvin JNIiss Baylor, of this county. Our young friend, Geo. M.

Beltzhoover, who is practicing law in Charles Town, has leased the office in Lawyers' How, formerly occupied by Baylor and Wilson, and has moved into them. These offices are conveniently located, being nearer the courthouse than any in the row, and are very desirable. We are glad to know that Mr. Beltzhoover is prospering, and hope that he may continue to advance in his piofeesion. We learn that our friend II.Taylor Link, of Duffields, will be a candidate for assessor in thiB district at the next Democratic primary election.

He is a good man, and if he should be elected there can be no doubt that he would till the office most acceptably and efficiently. We understand that there will be a large number of candidates for this office, and at least a hall dozen names have been suggested in this district, besides a number in the other. Mt. Xebo Lodge, No. 01, F.

A. M.t held an interesting commutation Monday night, when Ilion Lucas was raised to the degree ol Master Mason. Visitors were present from the lodges of Middlewav, Shenandoah Junction, Martiusburg and Keedysville. After labor had been concluded the members of Mt. Xebo and their visiting brethren passed to refreshments which had been bountifully provided in an adjoining room, and an hour was spent most pleasantly in a social way.

The G. T. Hodges store has been moved into the remodeled room that has just been finished, and Manager S. J. Hodges is again doing business at the old stand.

The new room is a very desirable one. The floor has been cut down until it is but two steps above the pavement, and a handsome glass front has been put in, making the room bright and airy. A steel ceiling adds much to its appearance. The store is now about 50 feet long and about 15 feet wide with a ware-room in the rear 15 by 15. The dwelling rooms of the building have also been remodeled, adding much to the comfort of these apartments.

A system of hot water heating will complete the improvement. The vigorous ringing of the fire bell at 2 o'clock yesterday morning awoke most of the people from their nocturnal slumbers, and in a short time a considerable crowd had gathered on firo urao in tli?

J. and A. M. Shepherd a lire on the hearth had been communicated to the wooden mantle, which was entirely destroyed. Cleveland" Myers, who was sleeping iu an adjoining room, was awakened by the dense smoke that filled the room, and he aroused the Messrs.

I Shepherd and gave the alarm The fire was extinguished with buckets of water without much trouble, and the damage is uot heavy. In the Circuit Court at Charles Town last Friday, in special session, the famous caseof James W. McGarry against the Norfolk Western Kailway was taken up. This has been hanging in the courts for ten years. Mr.

McGarry, who owns a farm at Shenandoah Junction, brought suit against the railroad company for damages to his place, caused by shutting otr his right of way. The railroad company enjoined him from prosecuting the suit. The matter was taken to the Supreme Court of this i State, which finally decided in favor of Mr. McGarry, throwing the costs upon the railroad company. Mr.

i McGarry'a case now comes up in the i Jefferson Circuit Court upon its merits and will be tried before a jury. PERSONAL8. A Record of the Oomlng and Going of the People That You Know. Mr. J.

Whether his prophesy is correct or not, time alone will tell, but in the meantime we should make the most out cf our lives, and the first essential to this is good heaith.

Fatal Accident at the Ore Rank A frightful accident occurred about 3 o'clock last Saturday afternoon at the Virginia Ore Bank, six miles east of Shepherdstown, by which Edgar Walters, son of George Walters, a former resident of this place, lost his life. The unfortunate young man, who worked at the ore mine, was riding upon the tender of a locomotive run ning backward, and as it went down a rather steep grade he Flipped off and fell beneath the wheels. When the engine had passed a horrible sight met the view of those who had witnessed the accident. The wheels had completely decapitated Mr.

Walters, and his body lay upon one side of the track and the head upon the other. In the twinkling of an eye hie life had gone out. His fellow employees weie greatly shocked by the occurrence and some of them were completely unnerved. The remains were gathered up and made as presentable as possible, the head being sewed to the body, and later were sent to his home on the opposite side of the river, in Maryland. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon.

The young man was about eighteen years of age. Barn Burned. Late last Saturday night the barn on the farm of John G. Flanagan, tenanted by Cruzen Link, near Bakerton, this county, was destroyed by nearly all its contents. Among the valuable property that was destroyed was about 600 bushels of wheat, a lot of hay, a binder, drill and other farmiug implements, harness, etc.

It is supposed that the hie was started by incendiaries, and we understand that there are to who the guilty persons are. Fortunately no live stock was burned. There was no insurance upon either the barn or the contents, and the loss is particularly hard upon1 Mr. Link, who loses bis crops aaid farming implements too. Farmers' Institute.
