Martinsburg is said to be suffering from a bad case of business blues. The death of Col.

Hickman has caused the suspension of work at the hosiery factory, and the report that the B. O.

Last Sunday evening between 7 and 8 o'clock a large hay-rick, containing probably six or eight tons, belonging to Col. A.

11. Boteler and on the Fountain llock place, was de- st roved by fire. It is supposed to have been the work of tramps, as several of these wandering gentlemen had been loafing around that vicinity. The store of Capt. James M.

Bill mver at Vauolevesville was broken into last Saturday night and goods to the value of about two hundred bol'ars taken. The robbery occurred between twelve o'olock and morning, and is supposed to be the work of tramps. A heavy piece of railroad I iron was used in breaking down the door, which was converted into kindling-wood. A boy of this place, about 10 years of age, opened the safe in It. Rail's Sons' Bolivar store last Saturday, during the temporary absence of the clerk in charge, and took therefrom $13.

Mr. R. Rau. discovered the theft and caught lie boy as he was leaving the store, forcing him to surI render the stoleu money. The boy was then allowed to depart and it is said he has skipped the town.

Harper Ferry Sentinel. Saturday night, for about an hour from 8.80 o'clock, and also on Tuesday night, the moon pretexted an unusual spectacle, having three perfect rings of color surrounding it. The ring nearest the moon was of a pale golden yellow, shading to the outer border of the ring, where it was a deep reddish prauge brown. The second circle was of that peculiar hue of bluish-green often seen on of steel, and the outer circle was of that green hue often seen in prismatic reflection. In Alaska these circles are said to be sure indications of a severe snow storm.

Reports from the 1 rious lodges showed the order throughout the State to be in a nourishing couditiou and growing in membership. The uiatter of purchasing a home for aged Odd Fellows was brought up, but the committee reported that for the present the Grand Lodge was not iu couditiou to purchase. The committee retained to further consider the matter. On Wednesday evening the crowping social feature of the meeting? the banquet? was held. Over 800 members of the order sat down to the banquet and the occasion was one of the highest enjoyment to all.

PERSONALS. J. L. Hoffman, of Shepherdstown, Jefferson county, West Virginia, arrived in Madera this week. Mr.

Two yer, Important A representative of the week paid a vl.it to two great business activity county, namely, the new Bakerton and the VirKin.aor# bank. Both are located between the B.

Railroad and the Potomac about nil miles east of fth town and three mile, went of Har per's Ferry. bakehtos. Bakerton is the name of the new town that is being built up at Oak Grove school-house. two and a-half miles from the ma.n l. n.

of the Baltimore i Ohio Railroad, by which connected with a branch road that joins it at Keller's. The Washington Building and Lime Compan a corporation in which the Messrs. Baker of Maryland are largely interred constructed the road and bought the 43 acres of land where the improvements are being made. Tbey have opened up a large limestone quarry here and constructed four patent kilns for the burning lime Each week 11,000 bushels of lime are burned- about 20 car loadswhich is shipped to points in Maryland, lrom to fifty men are constantly steam drill outs the holes into the brdsof limestone, anddynamite tears the masses asunder. orses and carts carry the broken stone to the top floor of the large building containing the kilns.

Here men feed them into the iron maws, from which, two stories below, the lime drawn and wheeled into the cars that stand rj i' ht in front of the kilns. Au in- clined plane, to be run by steam, ill shortly be put in operation, thus with the horses and carts. The Stone will then be drawn directlj from the quarry to the kilns. Already Bakerton is making a fan showing in a business way. There have been erected the large three decked kiln-house; a cuopershop where five coopers turn out 300 barrels a day, a large store building, where Strider Eugle do a big general merchandise business under the supervision of Mr.

Jesse A. Eugle, seven new dwelling-houses for the use of the workmen. A tank, tilled from un artesian well, supplies water to the works aud the houses, and also to the school building. Bakerton is a postoffice, and has three mails a day. Mr.

i Engle, the manager of the store, is postmaster. i Mr. S. W. Bratt is the efficient manager of the business at Bakerton, and the lime turned out under his supervision is the best on the market.

Evry day a locomotive comes in to bring empty cars and take away the loaded ones. 1 he roai we understand, is controlled by the company that runs the lime works. telephone connects Bakerton with Keller station. Every Saturday is pay day, and each week a considerable sum money is put in circulation. Most of the employees are men from the vicinity, so the money is spent at home.

The farmers of that vicinity find that Bakerton is of great benefit to them. Thev find ready sale for wood and al- most every sort of farm product at the highest market prices. They also have the privilege of loading their wheat at this point, thus saving many miles of hauling over rough roails. i Messrs. Hodges and Leinen, of this place, have been the principal wheat buyers.

I As may be seen from the above, Ha- kerton is already a thriving But it is more than likely that onh a beginning has been made, for there is a well-defined impression that better times are to follow. There are some persons who are so sanguine as to predict that in a couple of years more Bakerton will he a lively town of a couple thousand inhabitants. hope it may be so. THK VIRGINIA OKK BANK. A mile northeast of Bakerton, on a continuation of the branch railroad, is another busy scene at the Virginia ore bank.

The books at Antietam Furnace show that over a hundred years ago the deposit of iron ore ut this place had attracted the attention of manufacturers, who had worked even before that upon this valuable vein. Hut it has never yielded as much ore as it does now, one reason being because the methods of digging and handling it are so greatly improved. For fourteen years this property was lying1 idle. A year or two ago, after it had become the property of Mr. Thomas W.

Ahl. it was again opened up, and now that the railroad lias reached it there is no question as to its future. Mr. Ahl owns 90 acres of land here, and it is estimated that 55 acres of it contain the iron ore. The vein is practically inexhaustible.

Mr. W. C. Foreman, an experienced miner, is superintendent of the works. Under his management everything moves along smoothly and systematically.

About 25 men are employed. The ore. which comprises almost the entire hill, is easily mined. It is loaded into small cars, drawn by steam up an inclined plane, dumped into the big washer, the dirt and refuse cleaned out, then drawn again into oars, which are pulled up to a platform along the railroad, and tne ore is finally dumped into the cars. In former years the ore was ruked out from the earth with iron rakes, and only about half of it was secured, while the rest went into the dump heap.

About fifty-five tons of ore is shipped daily? some days two cars and some days three. goes mostly to Baltimore, but also supplies a furnace at Dunbar, Pa. The ore is a neutral hematite, and Mr. Foreman, who has had 24 veers' experience in this business, says that it is the best he ever handled- The 's greater than the present capacity of the works, and Mr. Foreman told the Rkgistkk man that plans are being arranged for avast improvement and enlargement of machinery.

A new inclined plane will be built, and it is hoped that work will be found for two hundred meu. There's no doubt that there is plenty of ore there for any number "of men to work at for any number of years. One breast of the vein has been worked up to a height ot eta feet, and there's no telir ing how much deeper it goes. Most Of the employees live across the river in Maryland, bat it is Ukj that a number of new houses will bebu.lt on Mr. Ahl's land for their works at the ore bank are of benefit to Shepherdstown in a business sense, as Mr.

Foreman buys most of his supplies here. asothkr ohe bank. Mr Jacob S. Moler farm adjoins the above place, and so the REGISTER man dropped in on his old friend an ,1 Kot a most excellent dinner. Mr Moferhas plenty of the same sort of iron ore on his place.

In fact the bank was at one time in successful operation. though it was afterward closed on account of various circumstance. But there is ore and plenty of it. A1 you have to do is to take a pick and dig into the ground, and out rolls the ore. Several Baltimore capitalists were there last week and made an examination of the old mine They were greatly pleased, and will probably lease the place and begin operations in the near future.

Mr. Moler, we hope, will realize handsomely on his property. Take it all in all, there is a genuine boom down in that neighborhood. Business is already brisk. But in two or three vears more some of the older towns will have to look to their lau rels, unless all present signs fail.

Antietam City The Ilagerstown Daily Neves says that Mr. Slaymaker, chief engineer, with a corps of assistants, arrived in Ilagerstown on Monday, reported to Col. W. F.

M. McCarty, and in the afternoon proceeded to Shenandoah Junction to survey the site of the future Antietam City, and to locate a mammoth steel plant and other works to employ 3,000 people. The syndicate that hah purchased the land at that place intend to build a model city. The streets are to be 100 fVet wide, macadamized and sewered. Electric lights will be put in and it is said that the Holly system of waterworks will be used to bring water from the Potomac for all purposes.

The prospectus of the place, with maps, will be issued at an early date. The first sale of lots will take place early in January, and those who are interested are confident in their assertions that Antietam City will have the largest boom along the hole line.

A Visitor's Impressions. A well-known Baltimore man who recently spent some days in Shepherdstown writes thus entertainingly of his visit in the Baltimorean of last week: SllKPHERDSTOWX, W. Nov. 18. 1890.

Eds. Baltimorean: Quaint, quiet, queer old Shepherdstown, cuddles cosily down by the Potomac, and is one of the most delightful home towns in the world. Tp get there from Baltimore you stav up all night until 4 a. reach there in time for breakfast, or you start late iu the day and lay over four hours to buy real estate in Hagerstown. The ride over the Western Maryland is one moving panorama of beauty; especially is this true at this season of the vear, when Dauie Nature is on dress parade in her gorgeous fall fashions, and on I the mountain tops the brilliant banners catch the sunlight and wave defiance to the coming winter.

The persimmons also are ripe. At the Entler Hotel in Shepherdstown Mr. Trussell has a great big room waiting for you with a cheerful fire, and then having refreshed the inner man you are at liberty to do as you please, provided you please to do right. If you are fond of fishing, all you have to do is to drop a line to the black bass, and they will bob up serenely and take the bait. Or if you are fond of boating you can use your skilled skull in sculling.

If sentimentally inclined, you can stroll by moonlight down on the cliffs, where far below the glistening river kings a song of peace and the young people of the town who are suffering from palpitation of the heart stroll by with lingering feet and listen to" love's music sweet. They also catch cold. Your Keeter was in Shepherd-town just before and after the late Demo- cratic election day. "Just before they were busv whooping it up, the bird of the free was soaring, the liberties of the people were at stake, the hard worked political speaker was on hand with the eagle eye and frog throat worn out in saving the country. after" roosters were at a premium, glory was in the air, every bodv knew it was coming, the brass band took a second wind, the victors were smiling and the victims had all moved out of town.

Mr. Steven l)a nd ridge, one of the best men in the town, was elect.nl to the legislature, and the Hon. Win. Wilson's majority was greatly in creased. These two fortunate happenings were enough to paint Shepherdstown a very rosy red.

Now, Keeter ib a Prohibitionist, he knows no other party, but some how or other when the Democrats win he hollers; I suppose it is from the force of habit. With all the glorification there was perfect order in Shepherdstown; the reason for this was perfectly plain, there is no intoxicating liquor sold there and it costs 50 cents to go to Hagerstown. ears and years ago r. Kutuaey projected, invented and discovered the lirst steamboat in this town, and on the bosom of the Potomac the first steamboat in the world went its ild wav in eccentric circles, managed by an eccentric man. They called him "Crazy Itunisey," and his boat the i "Flying Craft." That was many moons ago.

and there has not been a steamboat at Shepherdstown since. There a boom just a booming in this town, but they are keeping it verv quiet; however, they have an eve to the leeward, and will soon be out with a map and gilt edged. Over at Shenandoah Junction the other day 8(H) acres of land were sold at tin to I lint means a live town at the junction iu the not far distant future. 1 found my old friend, the lie v. George Everhart, preaching in the Reformed Church here, and very hap- DV in his new vocation.

His many friends in Baltimore, who remember him so pleasantly as a reader, will be glad to know that lie isdoing a grand, work, and in very popular. I weiit to hear him Sabbath morning and as lie read the beautiful service, clearly, distinctly, and with feeling. 1 thought how much better it would be if we had more good readers in the 1 "riie 1.000 people of the town have eight churches to go to. Some go to sleep. Some go a fishing.

The Young Men's Christian Association has a few faithful workers and it is a notable fact that the Superintendents of theSabbath Schools are active workers in the Association. Of course Shepherdstown, like all old Virginia towns, has its war record, its proud and sad war memories; situ ated right on the border it suffered very much, and some of its best young men gave their lives for their countrv.

Shepherdstown has an elegant foundation for a City Hall, also a kiln of bricks, and better than all they have a determined, energetic hard workj ing hand of ladies, wiio are striving hard to huild a hall. Mrs.
