EVER BUSY DEATH.
? Mr. Edmund C. Blunt died yesterday
at the home of his father, Major
r H. W. Blunt, in Washington, D. C.,
in the 41st year of his age. Mr. Blunt
! has lived in Shepherdstown for several
! years past, making his home at the
Entler Hotel, devoting his attention
| to the stock farm of his father near
, this place. His friends here were
f greatly shocked to learn of his death.
i Mr. Blunt had been in delicate health
for a long time with stomach trouble.
About three weeks ago he became
worse, and went to Washington with
the hope of obtaining relief. He grew
, steadily weaker, however, and the end
came yesterday. The remains will
! be interred in the family burvingi
ground at Goshen, Md., on Friday.
Mr. Blunt, who was by profession a
lawyer, was a man of many excellent
. qualities, and had a fascinating personality,
due to a great extent to his
unfailing courtesy and polished manners.
He was an unusually bright
man and highly educated, and there
' was scarcely a subject on which he
could not discourse intelligently and
' ; entertainingly. "Peace to his soul, if
God's good pleasure be."
Rev. Robert South Barrett, D. D.,
' for a number of years deacon of St.
Luke's Episcopal Cathedral,in Atlanta,
Ga., but more recently in charge of
! mission work of the church in the
5 Eastern States, died at "Wytheville,
Va., Saturday afternoon. His death
, was not unexpected as he had been
, a sufferer for nearly a year from cancer
of the stomach, and for months
. had been patiently waiting the suni.
mons which physicians pronounced
inevitable. Dean Barrett was universally
regarded one of the strongest
men in the church in the Southern
States, a man universally loved. He
has written several interesting books
of travel and has made important contributions
to the literature of the
j church. Dr. Barrett will be remem'
' bered as the missioner who conducted
services in the Episcopal Church in
Shepherdstown a ycarcr two ugv/. "
M rs. Eliza Jane Rush, relict of the
late Wm. Rush, died at her home
about 4 miles west of Shepherdstown

months and 1 day. She is survived

ceased*8 late home on Tuesday morning,
at 10 o'clock, in the presence of
' a large gathering of sorrowing relatives
and friends, Rev. Chas. Ghiselin
' officiating. After the services the
remains were taken to Martinsburg
, where they were interred in Green
Hill Cemetery. *
It is with great regret that we record
the death of Mrs. Alice Slater
( Ronemous, wife of Mr. Charles M. Ronf
finous, which occurred at her home
i near Uvilla last Monday night. She
f was an excellent woman in every re
spect, and her death leaves a vacancy
. i that may never be filled. A loving
. and faithful wife, a devoted mother,
a good neighbor, her death will he
i greatly regretted by a large circle ot
relatives and friends. The funeral
, was held yesterday in the Lutheran
> church at Uvilla, the service being
I conducted by Rev. Zed. H. Copp, of
I the United Brethren church of Hagerstowu.
The remains were interred
in Charlestown. Mrs. Ronemous,
. whose age was 34 years, 5 months and
. G days, is survived by her husband
[' and three children.

flan Missing, Money Gone.
Last Sunday a week Mrs. Vol. Hill,
; 1 who lives in the Duffields neighbor'
hood, went to church, leaving the
i i ^e
i mreu man 111 uuai^e ui iuc uuuac,
;1 When she returned the hired man

heard of him. A week afterward Mrs
1 Hill went to a drawer where her
1 money was kept, when she discovered
i that out of more than a hundred dol
lars that had been there, but four dollars

' still missing.
Bishop C. Clifton Penick, D. D.,

Tbe Norfolk L Western Railroad Sold. I
The Norfolk and Western Railroad,
comprising that portion of the road f
extending from Norfolk, Va., to Bris- a
tol, Tenn., and all branches, which was t
ordered sold by Judge Nathan Goff I
some time ago, was sold at public (
auction in the yards of the railroad 1
1 in Norfolk Tuesday morning. There a
was one bid, and that was for $3,000,000,
made by George Coppell, J. Kennedy
Todd, W. E. Glynn and Victor J
Morewitz, of New York, the reorgan- J
ization committee, representing tbe [
mortgage bondholdeis who hold bonds J
of 100 years date. The order was J
that the purchasers must either give
a check for $100,000 or a certified
voucher for $300,000 bouds. The ?'
gentlemen preferred the latter and
gave the required vouchers. It was t
known all along that the committee t
would be the purchasers, and the sale !
occasioned no surprise. While the ^
sale was for $3,000,000, it was subject j
to a mortgage indebtedness of upward <j
of $22,000,000, for which the pur- j
chasers become responsible. It it said , ^
that the road will have manv improve- i
./ I o|
, ments and be put on a paying basis. b
The Shenandoah Vallev division of b
" e
the same road was sold yesterday in
Roanoke, and was bought by the same ?
parties at $1,500,000. They also
bought the Lynchburg and Durham
division at $500,000.
A Sunday Fire.
Last Sunday afternoon about one ,
o'clock an alarm of fir* was sounded, .
and a crowd quickly gathered. The ^
dwelling-house of Wilson Arnett, a j
well-known colored man, in the east'
c
ern part of the town known as "Angel (i
Hill," had caught fire, presumably
from a spark from the chimney, and f
in a short time the entire upper portion
was blazing fiercely. The fire engine
was put to work, but almost im- r
mediately a section of the new hose j
purchased a short time ago burst, cans- j
ing some delay. When a stream was f
finally gotten on the house the blaze
was extinguished, but the entire upper
port inn had been consumed. The 1
house-hold goods in the second story
were burned, but everything on the
first floor was saved. This house was '
a very old one, and was probably *'
built over a hundred years ago. Har- '
risou & Schley had insured the house 1
for $300 and the contents for $150, and ;
these sums will probably cover the 1
loss. The adjustment is now being
made.
Council Meeting;.
The regular monthly meeting 01 me
council was held in the council cham- '
ber on Monday night last with the *
mayor, recorder and four councilmen 1

It was ordered that the fire committee '
have the hose of the steamer repaired, '
where damaged, also the lock 011 the
door of the fireman's hall, and that

Rabbits Will be Plentiful. <
An old sj>ortsman recently remarked j
that rabbits will be unusually plentiful
the approaching season. He bases ,
his predictions upon actual observa- 1
tion and says that any one will arrive j
at the same conclusion if he were to
stroll through the fields and woods.
We sincerely trust for a realization of
his most sanguine and prophetic utterances,
as rabbit is a luxury in
season.
