TEREIELE FIGHT IN NEvADA-BotA Combat
TEtS hHet-Ihe obstinate encounter in Neva-
Ga, which has been briefly reported BY tele-
graph, was terrible example of the force of the
human Will, when once fully aroused. One
Jones had escaped from the Nevada state pri-
son, and a Mr. Armistead had essayed the task
"a pursuing and recapturing him. After track
IN CHIN Tor about 80 miles, Ar instead came up
with his prey, and soon rs Jones suspected
the state of the case bloody conflict ensued.
With fearful oath the convict told Armistead
that he would die before being taken back to
prison, and ut once fired at his pursuer The
IRE was instantly returned, the shot taking
effect in Jones's breast The fight now began
IN good earnest. both men being armed with
Henry rifles. There was almost a constant
stream OF IRE and nearly every shot took feet
The men were about thirty steps apart. Jones
acted on the defensive, and Armstead followed
lin up till lac fell from loss Of blood. Jones
then rushed upon him, but Armistead raised his
gun again and fired, shooting Jones through the
head and killing him Instantly Armistead had
fired fifteen shots, hitting his adversary twelve
times; while Jones had fired eleven shots, nine
of which took effect in the BODY of Armistead
and either of the wounds would probably have
proved fatal Armistead lived about two hours
after the fight He was perfectly cool, and said
that n he had killed Jones he was willing to die
He requested a bystander to write an account of
the fight. and then expired as such desperaaloes

YCUNG AND RISING GENERATIo \

The vsgetative powers OF life are strong, but In
few years how often the paid hue, the lack Iustr.
eye and emanciated form, and the impossibiity O.
application to mental effort, show their bane.ul in
nuence. 1t soon becomes evident to the observer
that some depressing influence ID checking the de-
velepment of the body. Consumption 10 talked Of
and perhaps the youth is removed from school and
sent into the country. This of the worst move
ments. Removed from ordinary diversions Of the
changing of the city, the powers OF the
body too much enfeebled to give zest to beautiful
and rural exercise, thoughts are turned iawarak
upon themselves.
If the patient be Q female the approach of IN.
menses is looked for with anxiety the first symp-
tom in which nature is to show her saving power in
difusng the circulation and visiting the check with
the bloom Of health. Alas increase of appetite Ia.
grown by what it fed The energies of the system
are Frustrated, and the whole economy is derapsed
The beautiful and wonderful period in which BODY
and mind undergo so fascinating q change from child
to woman, is looked for in vain. The parents heart
bleSds in anxiety, and ancies the CRATE but watius
far its victim.

II ia great thing to mind one S own
businrss sail Il certain philosopher
and he VAS right An exchange re
marks that it is great thing to let
other peoples business alone and this
uurh is implied by the maxim above
quoted. In our view there is hardly
4 class of pest, in modern socicty-and
they are numerous SO superlatlvely
contcmptiLlc rs that class known as
hrthl~, or mcddlers in other people $
business. We don't admire thief,
We have no affinity for gamblers, and
we have no respect for misers but
either of these are lrstclass gentle
men in comparison with the lnquisitve
Jealous minded tattler, who goes
housing about in the garb Of social
respectable, poking his nose or his fin
gers in the affairs of his neighbors, and
Selling upon every tritling circum-
stance that comes within the wide
sweep Of his remorseless curiosity, for
the purpose Of making capital against
those whose characters he cannot UNI
derstand, because they are pure and
above Impeachment. These mischief
making busy bodies are simply an un-
mitigated nuisance, and should be
frowned upon by all sincere lovers
of social peace and happiness. The
man or woman who can find no better
employment than tattling had better
jump into the nearest body of water
and become food for respectable fishes
In that way the finny tribe would gain
a little in their commissary depart
ment, and society above water would
be immensely purified. L.

Mr.. Frederick J. Nelson and James
C. Clarke, of Frederick City, have
been before the Legislative Committee
at Annapolis, addressed that body in
favor of the passage of the Bill to es-
tablish more stringent Registry Law
and re-district the wards of Frederick
Mr. Nelson made a pretty strong
point, when he stated that the No. Of
wards (seven) was established in 1916,
when Lawrence Brengle was Mayor,
and the first charter adopted. The
population then did not amount to
over 5000; now it is three or four
times as great, and the boundaries Of
the wards should be enlarged. This
seems reasonable But to Dust the
present incumbent before the expira-
ton of their term Of service is diff
erent matter. 1t is thought the b II
in modified form will pass, and. hen
will come the "tug of war. So much
for party manouverlng,

CAPITAL CuMlNG.-We have heard
it minated that a gentleman OF
means and business energy and tact,
from one of the in erior counties OF
Pennsylvania, who visited this town
some months since, md pleased with
its location, its hea thy climate, and
the inducements it bids out as Il min
eral center-for operations in iron,
manufactures and a fruit growing re-
gion, has serious mentions of invcs-
ting in our mountain lands and town
lots, and locating in our midst. The
speedy completion Of the Western
Maryland Railroad 10 Hagerstown
and Williansport will accelerate this
feeling. When bob anthracite and
b!tumiuous coal, ca be had here at
reduced rates, to supply the use of
charcoal now freely consumed in our
manufacturing and landicraft enter
priscS, the great MINERAL resources Of
the Cltoctin mountain will come into
play, and afford employment for hun
drr1s and perhaps tba2sa~ls Of indus
trious laborcrs and skilled artisans
and mechanics.

Mr.. Filter We have had a rough
time here this winter. The split il
our party resulted in the election Of
GALLLuos, the Democratic candidate
by u plurality vote. We had lnajori-
ties, however, in both Houses Of the
Legislature; but Immediately aftel
the assembling of the Legislature, the
Democrats showed their intention to
control them both. Lobby members
We're here of the Democratic party
prominent among which was Major
Lawrence &. Murphy, now Probate
Judge of Lincoln county, and by
means Ct threats and brides, aided
and abettcd by two or three Federal
pseudo Republican otiice-holders, they
succeeded III turning out our members
in the Councll, and placing therein
Democrats, until they got majority
Of one.
In the Lower House four Republi-
can members from Taos county, after
having been sworn i'll and held their
seats several days, were summarily
elected or attempted to be by the De-
mocrats. Several other questions arose
ut the same time, and were made party
questions. One Republican Postmas-
ter and Secretary working with and
for the Democrats, until at last the
Democrats admitting some rs members
who We're not entitled to seats; orga-
nizcl u new House, elected a new
Speaker and officers, and called them
selves the l.ogis!ature-we call them
the l;ump. They undertook to break
up the legal House and the L. S. Mi
litarv were called out and for several
days the Legislative Hall was guarded
by SoIdie.s. The Ramp not having a
quorum ut It's start, ordered the arrest
Of three Of our members, who were
brought into the House under arrest
The Supreme Court is in session,
and 4 writ If halroS corpus was taken
cut, and the ease has been tried. The
, curt declared the Rump to be illegal
that its acts were void and its
course violent, revolutionary and
without for.l OF Law. Notwithstand- .
ing lie Eupp still holds its sessions
in the Srnrle Chamber, and is ac-
knowlcdgrl b. the Senate while the
Courts and the Governor recognize
the Republican members, who have
/ majority Of three or four, as the legal I
House. SO we stand now, and the
,c-slOn Is near its close no work has
been done, and there is no probability
II any being done, and there are sew
,ral important bills-school bill, rail
.oal bills. tax bill, Sc. &C., that ought
o he acted upon, and there is no SEES
:ion again for two years.
1t Is outrageous that we have to
suffer under such office holders. We
nope soon, however, to break it up.
