CATTLE BUYER DROWNED
IN CREEK'S WILD WATERS.
William Ebinger, a young cattle
buyer of Philadelphia, was drowned in
the swollen Conococheague creek at
Ryder's mill.*, Montgomery township,
near Welsh Bun, about 4 p. m., Wednesday, May 22. The creek had been
made furious and high by the heavy
rains ahd swept away tbe bridge over it
wbile Mr. Ebinger and a companion,
Bruce Gordon, State Line, .were
driving across it in a buggy
Wben tbe bridge gave way before tbe
wild torrent of water that dashed
against it, Ebinger crawled out of tbe
buggy onto the back of the horse,
thinking that the animal would carry
bftn to safety, Gordon was swept
from the buggy. The horse and Ebinger were carried under the .swift
waters and both drowned. Gordon
grasped a limb of a tree tbat had been
carried witb many others along tbe
banks and was rescued about two mile *
from the point at whicb team and
man were swept into tbe stream.
Ebinger was tbe son of a wealthy
PWadelphian.   He was 24 years cf
age and had been buying cattle ever
since he was seventeen. He was in the
business because he early desired to
make his own fortune. He had come
to thi» county frequently. He was
well thought of by all with whom be
bad come in contact.
Tbe escape of Gordon seems almost
miraculous. He says that be momentarily expected to be drawn beneath
the waters.

• Major Randolph' Norwood, U. S. A.,
retired, died at 4 a.m. Friday morning
ct bis home near Blue Bidge Summit.
Major Norwood had been ill but a few
days, having been stricken witb
paralysis Monday week. He was reported better Tbursday.
The deatli of Major Norwood removes one of the most interesting
characters from the life of tbis community, lite was born in Baltimore,
seventy-one years ago, and lived tbere
until the outbreak of tbe civil war
when he enlisted in a volunteer regiment wbich was among the first to respond to President Lincoln's call for
troops. Witb bis company he fought
throughout tbe entire four years of
the war and made a brilliant record.
At the close of the war Major Norwood was commissioned a captain in
tbe regular army and served at various
forts and barracks in tbe west until
he passed the limit of age and was retired. Some time after his retirement
he was breveted major.
Personally Major Norwood was a
man most pleasing. His soldierly
dignity of manner and bearing marked
bim as one above the ordinary but his
tastes were very democratic. He was
a friend to all and during his fifteen
years' residence on the mountain became .familiarly known to people in
all walks of life. Shortly after bis retirement' be built tbe cottage in
wbich he died, on the old Benchoff
farm, about ooe miie from Blue Bidge
Summit to the east. Eact summer
from May to November be lived tbere
and spent bis winters in Baltimore.
He was a legal resident of Franklin
and was prominent in county business
and politics.   He was a Bepublican.
He was greatly interested in the development of tbe mountain resort
system and was a mover in many
plans for tbe betterment of his
neighborhood. He was a director of
tbe Blue Bidge Electric Bail way company. He was, tbrough business associations, well-known to many Waynesboro people and he was generally admired and respected here.
Major Norwood was a man of more
than ordinary intelligence.. His long
army career made bim familiar with
many of tbe most prominent men in
national affairs. He was an interesting conversationalist and had a fund
of anecdote*, wbicb he told in an interesting manner. He was of magnificent proportions and, not withstanding tbe fact tbat be bad passed tbe
allotted age of man, be appeared to be
-a man of fifty.
Major Norwood was married to Miss
Gephardt, daughter of Simon Gephardt, Dayton, Ohio, wbo, still living
at a very advanced age, is one of tbe
most prominent men of bis state. To
tbis union were born two interesting
children, who with their mother survive. The children's names are
Somerfield and Mary.

High Waters As Result  et Heavy Downpour
of  Wednesday—Damage  Done   By
Swollen Creeks.
From Zephyk of May 23.
The heavy rains of Wednesday
swelled tbe streams in the county to
unusual size. The Antietam is very
higb and meadows have been overflowed but very little damage has been
done in this vicinity. Witb the end of
tbe storm yesterday eyening tbe waters
began to recede.
The long-continued and violent rain
was costly to John'Foreman, who resides on a farm, northwest of town.
Tbe water weakened tbe foundation
on bis barn which fell out on the gable
end. There was no damage to the
stock or otber things in tbe barn but
many repairs will bave to be made.
At Conococheague island the water
is very high. The entire place was
submerged tbis morning and . boardwalks were swimming around at a
lively gait.
In Cbambersburg tbe Conococheague
was almost a river and wild where
confined between high, narrow banks.
The coffer dam built to aid in the construction of tbe new W. M. B. B.
bridge piers, alongside the present
bridge at G. A. B. hall, was washed
away, as were the railroad tracks leading to the temporary structures.
In the vicinity of New Franklin the
rain dislodged a heavy rock, which
rolled alongside the tracks of tbe
Western Maryland railroad. About
6:30 o'clock yesterday evening as engine
838 was going toward Hagerstown it
struck the rock, breaking the cylinder
and the driving red. Fortunately, no
one was hurt. Freight was sent
around tbe old track over tbe cut-off.
The pilot of the engine was badly
damaged and last evening the engine
was still out of service.

with the information that Harry
Walters was lying unconscious and at
the point of death at tbe home of

From Zevbtb. of May 23.
Waynesboro may be called upon to
confine ih its lockup prisoners of the
short-term class whom tbe Chambersburg magistrates sentence to imprisonment for any term from one day to
tbirty days in length. Burgess Hamilton of Chambersbiiri; telephoned Burgess F .reman, yesterday afternoon,
asking whether Waynesboro would
consent to iact as jail-keeper for Cham-
, bersburg fCar a little while and, of
course, Burgess Foreman replied
affirmatively. Waynesboro would take
I care of all Chambersburg's prisoners
to the extent of our lockup's capacity,
he said.
This strange request was preferred
by Cham.ersburg's chief magistrate
because a case of smallpox, of mild
type, was discovered in the county
ail. A tramp who gave his name as
William Wilson and his home in Winchester and who said he bad but just
come from Harrisburg, was arrested
two weeks ago and sent to jail for
tbirty days. He objected to imprisonment because be had been ill, be
said, and he felt sure that if he were

PRICKED THE "BOGY" MAN
WITH HER SHARP HAT PIN
A South Potomac avenue young-
woman vanquished a "bogy" mau in
a very brief engagement, Thursday
evening. She was on ber way home
when a man started to follow hex.
He walked close behind her a short distance and when sbe found she could
not outfoot him, she stopped suddenly.
The man stopped too, but not as
quickly as tbe young woman and, as a
result, botb were standing together
in an instant. Turning, tbe woman
faced him.
"What do you want?" sbe queried.
The fellow mumbled something and
the woman diyw a big hat pin from
her hair and sunk it deep into his
arm.
"You d—d fool!" be exclaimed in
pain and.rage and took to bis heels
disappearing down a side street.
The woman could not recognize
him. He wore a light hat ard light
suit. Tbe time was about 9:30 o'clock.
Tbe young lady is- very properly,
being made a heroine of by tbe people
to wbom she told her story of how she
vanquished the "bogy" man.

The "bogy" did some more frightening of women, Thursday evening, on

fell off tbe W. M. B. B. tr.stle and
Walters was buit. That was all he
knew of it.
Sheriff Pensinger and County Detective Coe were informed tbat Walters had been murdered and started
from Chambersburg tbis morning.
Coe found Walters and br.ught him
to town. Walters stopped in Zephyb
office. His clothes were very muddy.
Here he told tbis story:
''McMullen and I bad been drinking
Wednesday evening. I was the drunker. We started from Bock's bouse
and I remember nothing more until I,
awoke early Thursday morning in a
box car near tbe north side of Waynesboro. I asked McMullen how I got
there. He said he 'threw me thefe.'
Tben McMullen took me to Ovelman's
shanty and left mc. Afterward he
came back and we walked to Bock's.
We are good friends now."
Walters' rigbt eye is almost closed,
bis rigbt cheek is swollen, bis face is
scarred and two of bis left ribs are
cracked, Dr. J. W. Croft found upon
examination. He must bave been
severely beaten. Walters is employed
by Jacob Bock as a farm band and
McMullen boarded with Bock. Both
are Pondtown ers, about 27 years old
and unmarried. Walters bas little to
say about tbe affair. He expresses no
animosity against McMullen. He says
that be was conscious all tbe time
after be awoke in the box car and denies tbe Calimer story.
Wednesday it was noticed tbat bis
face was marked witb blotches and
Jail Physician Devilbiss called a number of physicians into consultation
They decided that Wilson h: d smallpox in a mild form and today he was
removed to tbe pest house at tte
almshouse.
Immediately the jail was quarantined. Those within it, includirg
part of tbe sberid's family, cannot
leave it and those without, including Sheriff Pensinger and his two
sons, cannot get into it. The jail was
thoroughly fumigated and the prisoners vaccinated. It is not expected
tbere will be any more cases of smallpox in the jail and there is hardly any
possibility of the disease communicating to persons outside tbe building, as
a jail is a very effectively quarantined
place at all times.
Prisoners beld for court will be spnt
to the Carlisle jail, by arrangement of
the Franklin county commissioners
with the Cumberland commissioners.
Postmaster Foltz of Chambersburg
has ordered a quarantine against tbe
jail as far as mail matter is concerned.
No mall will be delivered tbere nor
will any be received from it.
As told elsewhere Chambersburg's
council bas ordered from tbe Smith
Manfg. Co., of tbis place, a steel cage
for use in its police headquarters.
This i. one of the results of the smallpox case in tbe jail.
which is involved \n mystery. One of
the lines followed in the investigation
as to its source leads to Waynesboro
and anotber to Mont Alto. In neither
of tbese places is tbere or has tbere
been a case of smallpox and it is not
reasonable to expect tbat residence in
either of.these towns was responsible
for tbe present case. It is possible
that tbe disease was communicated
by letters received from Harrisburg or
Steel ton by members of tbe victim's
family.
The sick woman is Miss Mary
Addlesberger, who is a niece of Mrs.
Adam J. Kauffman, Binggold street.
Sbe is ill in tbe family - of Henry
Kaiser, near tbe west end of Fayetteville. Yesterday morning Dr. Hartzell pronounced ber disease smallpox
and tbe house was immediately quarantined. To Zephyr Dr. Hartzell
says the case is well-developed but
that Miss Addlesberger-s life is not in
danger.
Miss Addlesberger bad been living
in Gettysburg until February last,
when she came to Waynesboro and
made ber borne with ber aunt, Mrs.
Adam J. Kauffman. Her mother also
resided there but left some time ago
aud went to Carlisle. About May 5
Miss Addlesberger went to Mont Alto
and spent several days in tbe family
of Jobn Shafer, or Baldwin, as he is
sometimes called. Thence she went to
Fayetteville, May 8.
In the family of Mr. Shafer there
was a case of chicken pox. An eight
years old son of Mr. Shafer was sick
with tbe disease. Dr. W. H. Brosius
was tbe attending physician. To
Zephyr he, says the case was chicken
pox simply. He is positive it was net
smallpox. He was watching for suspicious cases in Mont Alto, be said,
! and made a most careful study of
little Shafer's case.
Mr. Shafer removed .from Steelton
to Mont Alto March 11. He works in
The Geiser Manfg. -Co's. shops in this,
place and comes to Waynesboro every
ddy. Tbere has been no illness in the
family except tbe chicken pox case
told of.
Mrs. Solomon S. Kauffman,Binggold
street, daughter-in-law of Adam J.
Kauffman, drove to Fayetteville, yesterday morning, to visit tbe Kaiser
family, her relatives. When she arrived tbere she was informed that
tbere was a case of smallpox in the
house and she immediately turned her
horse and came back to WaynesbOro
without getting Out of ber carriage.
Dr. P.. Brough Montgomery, county
inspector for the state board of healthy
who examined Miss Addlesberger, says
ber case is one of the most pronounced
he has ever seen and that tbere is only
one severer in the county.
The county commissioners this
morning decided not to remove Miss
Addlesberger to the pest house but
will see that the Kaiser house is strict?
ly quarantined.
There is no need for alarm in
Waynesboro because of tbe illness of
Miss Addlesberger, despite tbe fact
that she was here more than two
weeks ago. It will be well, however,
for Waynesboro people to use every
precaution to prevent the appearance
of the disease- Persons who are not
immune should be vaccinated. Lkck
of care, and the proper safeguards have
resulted in the spread of  the disease
in   the   northeastern   part  of   the
county.
Waynesboro only needs exercise
vigilence. Tbere will be no cause for
alarm tben.

Mr. Good welcomed them in tbe following happy littje speech:
"Mr. President Hood   and  Mayor
Hayes:— -
"It affords me a great deal of pleasure to extend to you and the distinguished gentlemen who are with
yon, a most cordial and warm welcome to our busy young city and our
great manufacturing industries. During the past few years it has been my
privilege to visit all tbat vast section
of our national domain lying east of
the Bocky mount-iins.   I bave personally inspected nearly every one of the
great threshing macbine and engine
plants of tbe United States, and I. can
say to you with a reasonable measure
of pride tbat the plant of The Geiser
Manufacturing Co- lis today one of tbe
largest, and easily the best equipped
plant of its kind in tbe United States,
and tbat we are now sending   the
products of this plant to every grain-
growing section of the civilized world.
"Waynesboro steam plowing out-fits
are turning the soil on tbe banks of
the river Nile in Egypt.   Waynesboro
steam tbreshing outfits are threshing
tbe golden grain crops in Bussia, Bou-
mania, Bulgaria and Turkey,  Greece,
Australia aud Mexico, and   Waynesboro refrigerating machinery is cooling the air and water in South Africa
and tbe isles of the sea.   Over tbe
tracks of the Western Maryland and
C. Y. B. B. Co's. this one plant has
handled within tbe limits of 12 months
1400 car loads of machinery and material.    At the present time we are
simply smothered with orders.   Tbe
demand js away and far beyond tbe capacity of our plant.   Notwithstanding our increased facilities I am all in
a perspiration over the immense demand for our goods. We have botb railroad companies on tbe gallop to get
cars enough to handle the stuff,and the
rush bas just commenced.   Tbe outlook and the opportunities for expansion here are positively oppressive,and
I am on the ragged edge of an attack
of general prostration.   We are simply
painting tbe whole country red.	
I didn't know until about an bour ago
that you were ooming. Had I known
it sooner, I would have sat .up last
night and prepared a speech and bad
our board bere to meet yon formally,
and do any and all tbings to sbow our
appreciation of your visit* It is indeed a surprise, but I assure you a
most agreeable one, and I want yon
all to come back again and bring yonr
friends and relatives with you and
spend the summer with us, here or at
Pen-Mar the great-—and we'll come
and abide with y6u."
General Hood responded briefly, expressing his appreciation of the hearty
welcome that had been extended them.
Afterward the party was shown
through all tbe shops of the Geiser Co.
The party was then driven to the
Frick offices and received there by
Superintendent Ezra Frick and otber
officers of tbe company. The gentlemen were shown tbrougb the big
manufacturing establishment and
then, re-entering tbeir special train,
started for Chambersburg.
All expressed surprise at the immense shops and the volume of work
done and congratulated Waynesboro
enthusiastically on its evidences of
industrial wealth and progress.

following gentlemen, in addition to
those mentioned: J. T.* M. Barnes,
