LITTLE LOCAL8. The Things of Interest that are Happening In Our Neighborhood and Elsewhere. A farmer told us yesterday that he had never known a better prospect for wheat than is shown at the present time. We hope that nothing will harm the crop. The farm of Capt.

Lee H. Moler, near Moler's Cross Roads, sold last week in Shepherdstown, was bought by Mr. Wm. J. Knott, at $31.75 an acre.

The farm contains about 100 acres. The plans of Architect Samuel P. Humrickhouse, of this place, have been selected for the new school building in Martinsburg. He competed with drawings from Philadelphia, Baltimore and Harrisburg. Mr.

Berry Carter, of Moler's, was slightly injured last Saturday by being thrown from his dog-cart, the result of a runaway horse. There was a report in town Sunday that he had been killed. A special term of the County Court was held last Friday for the purpose of exchanging $70,000 of Jefferson county bonds at 5 per cent for $70, 000 at 4 per ceut. The latter bonds run for 83 years.

Mr. 0. B. Wetzel, of Ravenswood, the State bank examiner, was in Shepherdstown Monday and made an examination of the Jefferson Savings Bank. Mr.

Wetzel informed us that he found the bank in first-rate condition and said that its books showed that it was conducted in a manner most creditable to the othcials in charge. He said it compared very favorably with the other State banks that he had examined. Yesterday William Wells was out at the Shepherd place in the woods when he heard a rabbit squealing near where he was working. It continued 1 for some time, and he concluded to investigate. He discovered that the 1 rabbit had ample cause for fright, for a big blacksnake had a firm grip upon it and was in the act of swallowing poor bunny.

William succeeded in killing the snake, and in the combat the rabbit also lost its life. The snake measured five feet in length and was very thick. London papers received here give the most complimentary notices of the 5 play, "Secret Service," in which Odette Tyler (Mrs. R. D.

Shepherd) takes a prominent part. One critic says of her in the Dispatch: "Miss Odette Tv ler is a revelation. I neither hope nor expect to see a better piece of pathetic perfect in technique as it was in her absolutely sir lent send-oif to her young lover. It was one of many points which I can only describe as magnificent." The i Sun says "We must keep Miss Odette Tyler in England if we can. She is i as pretty as a picture and full of vi9 vacity and humorous.

She very quick-, ly won the sympathy of the fine audience." PERS0NAL8. A Record of the Coming and Qolng of People That Vou Know. Mr. Henry Rice, a former resident of Berkeley county, but who went West in 1848, and is now a resident of Logan county, Illinois, has been visiting his neDhew. Mr.

The full jury was only held three days and a panel of twelve was held for the fourth dav. Judcre Faulkner will save his salary in jury fees.

Marriage Vows Broken. The following story is taken from the Washington Post of Sunday last. The parties concerned are former residents of Martinsburg: Annie V. Geyer applied to the District Supreme Court yesterday for a divorce from William F. Geyer, who conducts a livery stable at 927 street northwest.

She says they were married near Harper's Ferry, October 1, 1868, by Rev. N. C. Brackett, her maiden name being Custer. She lived with defendant until September 21( 1895, at which time she alleges that she discovered his infidelity.

Upon his promise to return to her she forgave him for the sake of the children. She now charges that he failed to keep his promise. She also charges nonsupport. Mrs. Geyer petitions the court to enjoin him from disposing of the livery business or premises at 1347 street, until a final order is made in the suit now pending.

Judge Hagner issued a restraining order, which prohibits disposition of any property in the hands of the defendant pending decision of the suit. Mrs Geyer asks for alimony in the sum of $150 a month and $100 counsel fees. She has retained W. Preston Williamson as her attorney. To Fish or Not to Fish That's the question that is agitating the mind of the sporting public just now.

Some reports say that our West Virginia law permits bass fishing after June 1st, while others say June loth is the limit. We wrote to our fish and game warden for information on this point, but he failed to honor us with a reply. In Maryland the situation is also mixed. There are two laws applying to the streams in Washington general law passed in 1896 prohibiting the taking of bass and other fish between the 15th of April and June 1 and a local law of 1890 making it unlawful to fish in such streams between April 1 to July 1. "Where a general and a local law conllict," said State's Attorney Wagaman, "the local law prevails." You can take your pay your money if you are fined.

Killed by Lightning. A dispatch to the Wheeling Hcffis-rT 3-1 tcr lrom Harpers rerry, uaieu xrmy 30th, gives the following item, the accuracy of which we do not vouch for: Word comes here today of the awful death of John Frazier, of Millville. Friday Frazier was struck by a bolt of lightning and was so badly injured that he died yesterday. The bolt struck some hoes which he carried upon his shoulder and set fire to his clothing. He was in a blaze when passersby came to his rescue, and after a hard fight the flames were extinguished.

He was 22 years of age. The same bolt struck a wire fence, and following the fence to a shed, nearly killed a hog in the shed. Painful Accident. Mrs. P.

A. Entler, of Washington Pitv who with her husband has been visiting at Mr. G. M. Beltzhoover's in this place, met with a painful accident Tuesday evening.

She was walking with Mrs. Beltzhoover, when in some unaccountable way she fell and injured herself to such an extent that she had to be carried home, where she has since been confined to her bed. Dis. Tanner and Banks were summoned, but Have not yet been able to ascertain the exact nature of the iujury. It is feared that her hip may be fractured, though we hope the trouble may be of less serious a character.
