sad Ind ota singular Character.


Yesterday morning man named
William J.. Jones, a tramp, aged 80
years, was run over and killed by a
freight train, OH the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, near Martinsburg.
The tragic death Of this man closed
what was perhaps an eventful career,
though nothing is positively known
of his past life. About August 10
last, he came to the house of Mrs q.
A. Thurston, on Decatur street, this
city, and in all respects resembled an
ordinary tramp, except that instead
Of asking aims, he requested that
work be given him. This was done,
though his employer was rather skep-
tical Of his finishing the job. lie did
50, however, and worked about the
yard and garden all day, putting ey-
erything in apple-pie order, and at
night instead OF demanding pay, ask
ed simply refreshmeit, declining to
receive money, saying that it would
do him more harm than good. lie
returned next day. was given it, as
well as home, and he remained at
Mrs. Thurston's until Monday last.
During his sojourn there he develop
ed many curious traits OF character
and evinced a considerable degree Of
education and culture.
He continued in the even tenor of
his way, making himself useful in an
hundred ways, and never waiting to
be asked to perform a task, until
Monday last, when heaccepted some
money for his services. Then the
bane Of his life became apparent. 1t
was whiskey. lie left the house, and
as he did not return, inquiry was
made for him and he was found wan
dering about, intoxicated. Yester-
day morning he boarded q freight
train on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, intending, we presume, to
resume his old tramp-life, and met
| his death, as above stated. He gave
| his name as William l.. Jones, and
said he was from West Virginia, but
afterwards confessed that this was
not true that he had been brought
up in New York State by a man
named Jones, and that he had never
known his right name. He told
little of his history except that he
| had travelled all of the country; had
occupied positions in many branches
of trade and stations in life. He was
an interchangeable reader, and would
occupy himself with books nearly all
the time that he was not engaged in
work. lie was never known to smile,
and was apparently engaged in a con-
slant effort to get away from him
self. Indeed so marked was this
characteristic that it is thought by
some who knew him that he threw
himself under the car wheels to end
his life and his troubles at tie same
time = Cnlnh NearS 2.Gh

Saturday comes for us all. Do we
often think of it ? Are we leading
that kind of life as though we be-
lieved it ? No most of us rush fran
tically, wildly along without giving
the future thought, and will only
stop TO reflect when it is eternally too
late.

1t is said that a great many people
are humbugged badly by purchasing
articles on the Centennial grounds.
Almost every person who attends de-
sires to bring something away as a
sovenir of the great occasion. OF
course, the value of the purchase is
regulated by the ability of the party
or the heft of his pocket book, but
many curious and quait articles can
be bought cheap. as well as valuable
and high-priced. We notice the cas- e
of lady who recently paid sixty dol
lars for a piece of jewelry, represent
ed to be unique and rare, but which
she afterward discovered was worth
only about seventy-five cents. In this
case the lady was fortunate in having
friend among the Centennial Com
missioners, and on appealing to them
the case was investigated and she
had her money refunded. 1t would
be exceedingly interesting to know,
however, how many have been swim
died in a like manner, who have
either not discovered it. or have not
cared to make it known that they
were victims.

Murder al Hagerstown.

VIM. Hawthorn, an old resident of
Hagerstown was murdered on Sun
day between Il and O'clock, by a
worthless and dissolute son-in-law
named Thos. Stephens.
Stephens went to Hawthorn under
the influence of liquor, and the old
gentleman ordered him out. In
stead of leaving Stephens seized an
iron griddle litter and struck Haw-
thorn two blows with it, but failed
to knock him down. In the scuffle
both got out on the pavement in
front of the house, when Stephens
struck the fatal blow with stone
the old man dying in few minutes.
The murderer was captured and
lodged in jail
The Coroner held an inquest over
the remains. We take the following
testimony from the Ne,rs:
George McCaster testified that he
saw Stephens strike Hawthorn
whilst in the doorway, but could not
swear what with. Also that Haw.
thorn pursued him with an uplifted
shovel.
Charles Beck testified that he stop.
ped Stevens near the public square
and Stevens told witness that he
should let him alone or he would
strike him, as he had just had hell
with the old man and had struck
him with a stone, and seeing officer
Cook approaching he said, ;'y0u can't
take me-" and passed on.
Wolf Kahn testified that he stood
on the stoOp of a house near the c..
V. r.. II. and saw Stevens in the gut
ter and Hawthorn in front of him
on the sidewalk and saw Stevens
raise his arm and saw the swing of
his arm, and Hawthorn fell, but did
not see anything in his hand. Other
witnesses were examined but none OF
them saw the lick struck.
Several physicians made a post
norton examination.
The jury was recalled and after the
evidence of the doctors was had,
they brought in the verdict that
William Hawthorn came to his death
by blow or blows on the left side
of the head, from a blunt instrument,
III the hands of one Thomas Stevens.

The appointment Of a Recsiyer for
Continental Life Insurance Compa-
ny will be 4 surprise to many, as it
was generally considered one of the
safest companies in the country. We
have no information as to how badly
the company is involved, or to what
extent its policy-holders will suffer,
but its embarrassment should be q
caution to parties insuring in lie
companies. The greatest care should
be given much more consideration
than is usually bestowed upon it by
parties who take out policies.
