Last Saturday afternoon, in Grace ^
Episcopal Church at Middleway, Miss
Jessie Catherine Grantham, daughter
of Mrs. Katherine Grantham, became h
the bride of Mr. Albert Biddle Sibole, c(
of Philadelphia. The ceremony was D:
performed by Rev. A. J. Willis, rector.
After the ceremony a reception
was given at the residence of the u:
bride's mother. Later in the even* *a

Philadelphia, where Mr. Sibole is en* is
gaged in business. M
The Shepherdstown Graded School,
under the management of Prof. T.
A. Byerly, began its session on Mon- cL
day, and the attendance is nearly w
200. A new method of teaching has s
been introduced, and it is believed it
will add greatly to the efficiency of
the school. Instead of a teacher tak- ^
ing a number of different branches,
each tescher takes a subject and goes 0
from room to room and teaches it to
the classes pursuing that particular p
branch. We think this is a decided te
improvement over the old method. ja
The members of the county court,
the committee of viewers and other p
representative residents of the county
spent Tuesday aloDg the Shenandoah w
river looking at the proposed locations
for the new bridges that have been
suggested for that section. A peti- h
tion to the court asked that two or a
more bridges ba built aross the Shanandoah
at such points might be re- ^
garded best, and the court is now g
considering the matter. The members
of the court and of the committee
did not express themselves on Tues- tl
day, but there does not 6eem to be ^
any decided desire to expend the
$65,000 or $75,000 that the present t(
scheme contemplates. Captain H. C. ri
Getzendanner, proprietor of the Shennondale
Springs Hotel, entertained
the party at dinner at this famous r.
and delightful old resort.
Albert Rinehart, a young man of
Greencastle, Fa., stole a horse last tl
Friday night from J. M. Eiwood, g
who lives near Vanclevesville. Reinhart
is said to be of unsound mind, C|
but he is smart enough to steal any- Q
thing he can get his hands on. He
was acquainted with the Eiwood
family, having harvested for them "
last eummer, and the animal he stole *
was a family horse that was greatly
prized. Mr. Eiwood traced Rine- ^
hart to Shepherdstown on Saturday, ^
and later followed him to Frederick
county, Md., where, after a two days'
chase, Sheriff Deibert, of Washing- h
ton county, located the fellow and ar- r<
rested him near Middletown. He
had sold the horse to a horse dealer ^
named Koogle, living in that vicinity, w
where it was recovered by Mr. Elwood.
Rinehart will probably be
brought back to this State for trial, h

A Brilliant Wedding.
One of the most beautiful and brilliant
weddings that has ever been
seen in Shepherdstown occurred Wednesday
night, when Captain Randolph
Carter Berkeley, of the United
States Marines, and Mies Carrie Phillips,
only daughter of Pay Inspector
and Mrs. James S. Phillips, were
married in Trinity Episcopal Church.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
0. E. A. Marshall, rector of the
j church, in the presence of a large and
fashionable assemblage of friends oi
the couple from here and elsewhere.
The floral decorations of the church
were bride roses and ferns. Captain
A. E. Harding was best man, and the
ushers were Dr. Richard Blackburn,
of Washington, aide to the President,
Lieutenant Russell B. Putnam, Paymaster
W. H. Dougherty .Captain Henry
Davis, Paymaster D. M. Addison,

in evening dress. The maid of honor
waB Miss Harriet Tilghman, of Norfolk,
Va. The bridesmaids were
Misses Janet 0. Berkeley, of Staunton,
Va.; Lula E. Hanna, of Washington
; Marie Muzzey, of Philadelphia;
Nannie C. Williams, Virginia
Van S. Reinhart, Elizabeth Butler,
Loraine Turner and Eleanor Lee Potts,
of Shepherdstown. The maid of honor
was gowned in blue radium silk, while
the bridesmaids wore white organdie
and lace over blue taffeta. The
charming young bride looked very
sweet in a lovely gown of white satin
and Duchesse and rose point lace,
with bridal veil. She carried bride
roses. The ribbon bearers were
Grace Darling Chapline ana Joseph
A. Chapline.
The scene as the bridal party entered
the church and grouped about
the chancel was an unusually handsome
and impressive one. The bri
dal chorus from Lohengrin was used
as a processional, various selections
were played upon the organ
during the ceremony, and Mendelssohn's
grand wedding march rang out
as the paity left the church.
The bride was given away by her
uncle, Pay Director Mitchell McDonald,
of the U. S. Navy, her father,
Pay Inspector Phillips being unable
to be present because of hie duties as
special representative of the ^tate
Department at Monte Christi, San
Domingo, where a revolution now
renders his presence imperative.
Immediately after the wedding a
reception was held at the bride's
home, which was attended by a number
of invited guests. The apartments
were very beautifully decorated
with flags and bunting and naval and
military objects of art. The bride
and groom received the congratulations
of their friends, who were entertained
most delightfully during
the evening. Delicious refreshments
were served, and later the young
folks wound up the festivities with a
dance. Thompson's Orchestra from
Martinsburg rendered sweet music
during the reception.
The bride received many beautiful
presents?cut glass, silver, fine china,
useful articles of various sorts, ornaments,
curios and objects of art from
various parts of the world, and rememberances
of many kinds from her
friends here and abroad.
A pleasing incident of the wedding
was that the bride was driven to and
from the church by "Uncle" Fred
Young, one of the few slaves now living
who belonged to her grandfather.
TTnnlfl Frprl was immenselv Droud of
hia opportunity to serve her.
About midnight the bridal party
drove to Shenandoah Junction, where
the Duquesne Limited train of the
B. & 0. Railroad stopped and carried
them eastward.
This marriage unites two of the old
families of Virginia, the bride's ancestors
having come to Virginia in 1607
and 1610, and the groom's in 1618?
all originally settling in Jamestown.
Captain Berkeley is a son of the late
Dr. Carter Berkeley and his wife,
Lovie Qilkeson, of Staunton, and a
grandson of Dr. Edmund Berkeley
and his wife, Mary Randolph Spottis*
wood Brook, who was a daughter of
Judge Francis D. Brook and hie wife,
Miss Spottiswood, who was a direct
descendant of Governor Spottiswood,

The bride is a granddaughter of the
late Congressman Wm. A. Phillips,
of Kansas, and his wife, Margaret
Caraway Stewart Spillman, of Tennessee.
On her mother's side she is
a granddaughter of the late Judge Joseph
A. Chapline, of Shepherdstowu.
Shepherdstown Boy Climbing the Ladder.
From the Washington news of the
Baltimore Sun of yesterday we take
the following item concerning a former
resident of Shepherdstown?a son
of the late T. W. Latimer and Mrs.
M. J. Latimer:
Mr. J. Wilmer Latimer, who for
twelve years has been connected with
the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia in a clerical capacity, having
for six years been an assistant to
the clerk of the court, today tendered
his resignation to Clerk John R.
Young, to take effect October 1 next,
after which date Mr. Latimer expects
to engage in the practice of law. In
accepting the resignation Mr. Young
complimented the work of Mr. Latimer
in the highest terms and predicted
success for him at the bar. Mr.
Latimer came to Washington from his
birthplace, Shepherdstown, W. Va.,
in 1894 to study law at the Columbian
University Law School, from which
he graduated in 1897, being one of
the honor menof the class. He is now
member of the law faculty of his alma
amater. He was admitted to the District
bar in the year he finished the
course in the law school.

A Tragedy in Charles Town District.
A fatal tragedy, attended by some
peculiar circumstances, occurred last
. Thursday afternoon at Gibsontown, a
negro settlement about two miles
I south of Charles Town. A man
named Samarion, who says that his
father was a Hindoo and his mother
i an Egyptian woman, came to this
country from Sidney, Australia, some
eighteen months ago and located near
CharleHTown. He was a music teach
er, and earned hie living by following
this profession. He incurred the
enmity of his negro neighbors by advieingthem
to accept white supremacy
as a settled fact, and his views upon
this subject are said to have aroused
the strenuous animosity of Jasper
Thompson, a colored man who, it iB
said, advocated negro eqoality and
was particularly oflicioufl at elections
in opposing the white majority.
Under the leadership of Thompson, !
the negroes of the neighborhood are j
said to have been persecuting Samarion
and his wife in various ways, and
have several times stoned his house. 1
One day last week he went to Charles 1
Town to swear out warrants for sev- 1
eral negroes who had been seeking to '
injure him, and was to have consummated
the matter on Friday. ]
Thursday Samarion notified Thomp- (
sou to keep his hogs out of his (Samarion's)
lot or he would kill them.
This started the trouble afresh. Some
time during the afternoon Thompson I
went to Samanon's house and started \
a quarrel. Samarion says that hie i
enemy threatened to kill him and <
made a motion to draw a pistol. Sa- !
marion quickly pulled hie own re
volver and ehot Thompson twice, and
the wounded man walked a few steps
away and fell dead. The news of the J
shooting created great excitement ]
among the negroes, and threats to {
lynch Samarion were made. The (
latter and his wife got out of the ;
house the back way to avoid the ,
crowd, and went to the home of Jailer j
S. C. Young, near Charles Town,
where he surrendered to S. C. Young, |
Jr., who took him to jail, where he is f
now imprisoned. A good deal of sym- j
pathy, we understand, has been expressed
for Samarion. He has but |
one name, in accordance with Au- .
stralian custom.
Thompson, the man who was killed,
was about GO years old, and leaves a
wife and mue children.
Mr. Staley's Team Goes Over a Bank
A thrilling accident happened to
Allen A. Staley and his family laet
Saturday night at Teagues run, on
the liver road, about a half mile east
of Snepherdstowu. Mr. Staley was
coming to town with his family, driving
one of his carriage horses and a
colt to his surrey. At Teague's run
a temporary bridge was made after
the culbert at that place had been
washed out by the flood some weeks
ago, and it is a narrow crossing of a
dangerous place?a deep gully on
either side making it a ticklish place
to get over. Just as the team got at
the most dangerous point the colt became
lrightened at something and be
gan to plunge about. Mr. Staley'B
wile and children jumped out of the |
carriage and he attempted to control
the horses, but in epite of hie efforts
the colt crowded the other horse over ,
the embankment and both fell into i
the deep hole fifteen or twenty feet V
below. The tongue of the carriage
broke oil and the vehicle did uot go
over the embankment. Mr. Staley
was unable to do anything to extricate
the animals himself, so he hurried
to town and got a number of
persons to go out to help him. They
hnally managed to get ttie colt out of
the hole, and though it was pretty
stiff, they took it home and it will
probably get all right. The other
horse was so badly hurt it could not
help itself, and by the next morning
it was dead. It was buried near by.
The accident was a very thrilling one,
and it is extremely fortunate that no
one was hurt. A new iron bridge is
to be erected as soon as possible, but
in the meantime it is a dangerous
place, and persons will do well to
avoid it.

Home in Richmond, Va., last
week, aged 82 years. He was a member
of Company B, Second Virginia
Regiment, Stonewall Biigade, and
served faithfully during the war. He
declined in mind and body some
years since, and was admitted to the
home t-everal years ago. Recently,
we are informed, he lost his mind entirely
and had to be watched constantly.
He was twice married, bat
we believe left no children. He is
well remembered here by our older
people.
Mrs. Virginia Legg, wife of Mr.
Allen G. Legg, of Bunker Hill, Berkeley
county .died last Friday night of typhoid
fever,at the age of 54 years. Mrs.
Legg wTas a Miss Clendenniug, of a
well-known family. She leaves a
husband, one eon and two daughters.
James A. Lewis, a well kuowu resident
of Staunton, Va., died recently,
iged 82 years. He was a brother of _
Ceo. K. Lewis, formerly of Shepherdstown.

Mrs. Catharine Roach died at her
home in Berkeley county last week,

rhey Wouldn't Give Us A Special Train.
Seventy tickets were sold from Harerstown
to the Morgan's Cirove Fair.
Many persons who had intended going
changed their minds when they learned
here was no special train, not caring
?o remain in Shepherdstown until the
return of the regular train, which |
eaves at 9.19, but which is usually
atz.?Hagcrstown Globe.
This item reminds us that General
Passenger Agent Bevill of the Norolk
& Western Railway absolutely
refused under any conditions to run
i special from Hagerstown and re:urn
tor the benefit of persons desirng
to attend the Morgan's Grove
:air. He 6imply wouldn't consider
;he matter, and the fair lost much
patronage and a number of persons
vere greatly disappointed. Tiie con*
mmmate stupidity of the average
railroad official and their disregard
>f the public accommodation seem to
jecome greater instead ot less.
