The Duel Near Nfillw00 /
T Winchester Times.

A duel was fought at Carter Hall
Spring, about half a mile from Mill
wood, Clarke county, on Thursday
afternoon, 9th, about 3 o'clock. The
principals were Nj. Robert Neville,
an Englishman, who lives at Carter
Hall, and Mr.. VIM. f. Randolph, of
Clarke. Randolph was the challeng-
ing party, and the weapons selected
by Neville were swords.
Mr.. Neville is said to be a practiced
swordsman, while Mr.. Randolph was
entirely without experience in the
use of that weapon. We are inform
ed that Mr.. Neville's sword was a
regular basket hilt, double-edged du-
cling sword, and that Mr.. Randolph
used an infantry officers dress sword.
The principals exhibited perfect
nerve and GOODNESS, and when the
word was given the slashing was very
lively. Mr.. Neville received thrust
in the side, causing a slight wound.
Mr.. Randolph was severely cut on
both sides Of the head, the temporal
artery being severed, after which the
seconds interposed and put a stop to
the fight. Fortunately, there was a
skillful surgeon on the field, who was
prompt in staunching the wounds,
but for which the result might have
been serious,

A West Virginian's Good
Luck.

The Piedmont independent of
Saturday contains the following;
From the Laramie D0ily SIN.
we learn that rich vein of gold
has been struck at the Centennial
Mine, near that city, owned and
worked by Stephen Downey, ESQ ,
son of our old friend and fellow
citizen, Major O. ID. Downey. The
Sun says:
early this morning, John Sher-
Cd came in from the Centennial
Mine with the news of a rich vein
of ore being struck by the Centen-
NAL company, on the old location
ana about $50 feet below the origi-
nal discovery. He brought some
specimens of the ore in which the
gold shone out more prominently
than in any of the specimens that
have ever before been taken from
this mine. In every part of the
quartz the yellow stuff could be
plainly seen with the naked eye,
I'VE congratulate the Centen-
NAL Company, and particularly its
master spirit, Colonel Downey, on
the wealth that is in store for
Them"

The VI. ~ r. Railroad.

a correspondent recently made
some inquiry about the Agricultural
Association and the NJ. q p. Rail-
road. AS we have received the an
nual report of the Cumberland Val
ley Railroad Co., which gives pref
ty full account of the earnings and
expenditures OF the main stem and
leased branches for the financial year
Sept. 30, 1876, we take from it the
following very interesting items -
The gross earnings of the road for
the fiscal year ending Sept. so, 1874,
was $1S,509.41; for the year ending
Sept. 80, 1875, the earnings were $13,-
S13.0S, showing a decrease the past
year Of S4,695, 33. The amount of
freight shipped from this place last
year was 5.466,S0 pounds. The
amount of freight received here dur
ing the same period was S,415.94S
pounds. The number of passengers
carried from Martinsburg dur
ing that time was 16,1S9.-
The report does not show the num-
Der carried to Martinsburg. Berkeley
station both ways 4347. Bedington
10th ways 1247; Falling Waters both
ways 952; total passengers carried in
Berkeley county, 22,735. Gross re-
eeipts for the year $l3, S13.08; expen-
ditures 81, 1854 so; net earning $685.
IL. Among the expenditures for the
year we find S5,S04.3S paid out ON
original construction account.

Bank Summary.

In looking over the statement Of
the three banks of Martinsburg, all
of which are very creditable, and
proves them to be safe and thrifty in
stitutioas, we think the following
summary of all would prove inter
esting. The combined capital of all
the banks is $l97 10000; their depos-
its SlS3.57l.31; surplus, $2S,279.05,
making total resource of $409, $780,
35. There are some minor items Of
dividends unpaid which will increase
this amount. The entire amount of
loans and discounts amounts to
$314,471.47.

Literary Society.

The Literary and Musical Society
of Martias0Grs, which was formed
about two months ago, effected a per-
manent organization at their last
meeting by the adoption Of the Con-
stitution and Bylaws, and the cleo.
tion Of officers. This Society was
formed by about six ladies and gen.
tlemen, and has in a short time so
rapidly increased that it counts
now nearly so members. According
to provision in the constitution the
members are divided into two classes
viz: active and non-active. The ac-
tive members meet once q week
Thursday ut their respective houses
and pass the evening by reading, vo-
cal and instrumental performances,
lectures, debates, etc, in accordance
with a programme arranged at the
previous meeting. 1t is their inten-
ton to rent hall at an early date,
and give literary and musical enter
tainments to their non-active men,
bers once a month, or as often as
practicable. These entertainments
are free tothe members.
A ticket of non-actiye membership
costs $500 per year, and is good for
a whole family with the exception of
children over age. The dues for ac-
tive members are 10 cents per month.
The year of the Society begins every
first day of October, a time when
longer evenings and cooler temper
allure naturally enhances social life
to an increased activity. The fol
lowing are the names of the officers
and committees of the Society:
President-Dr. Chas. f. Heuser.

blme that about twenty brakemen
were discharged by the b. 81 Q. Rail-
roed at that place during last week,
and corresponding number of con-
ductors made brakemen. The reduc-
ton is caused by the use of "Mogul"
instead Of the old "camel-back" en-
gines. One Mogul we believe, does
the work of two ordinary engines.

succeeding

Martinsburg in the past year has
had quite a number of her citizens
employed by the wholesale houses of
Baltimore as travelling statesmen and
we are glad to be able to say that
they all have the reputation of being
extraordinarily successful. The last
one is the popular Joseph A. Isa-
nogle, Esq, who represents the
responsible and leading wholesale
liquor firm of Brent & Heikes 80 w.
Pratt street, Baltimore. Mr.. Isano-
gle has made his first trip for the
house and considering the depressed
state of business has succeeded Won
Gerfully well. We think MeSsrs.
Brent and Heikes will find Mr.. Isa-
nogle very energetic and persever-
ing agent, who will represent them
as they should be faithfully and care
fully.

at rates way below par. We have

Where are these things ? Have we

Gumberland's Bonded Indebtedness

The bonded Indebtedness of Mar

almost the entire amount of which
has been incurred by the erection of
water works, worth to the town the
amount paid for them, as Protec-

their convenience in the supply Of
water to our citizens. The bonded
Indebtedness of Cumberland, which

statement in the Times. To meet
these bonds sinking fund has been

A Coming Literary Treat.

liver two of his best lectures in the

on Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings, the 18th and Goth of this mouth.
His subjects will be ''Diogenes and
His Lantern, or The Worlds Hunt

of DR.. Keys that he was "a wonder
fully impressive speaker" Ex-Gov.
Curtin says of him, "a most eloquent
talker," and Ev-Gov, Geary said, "as
a speaker he has few equals" The
Presidents of all the Colleges of
Pennsylvania have so recommended
him, and we trust our people will
take advantage of this opportunity
to hear him.
