Fatal Shooting by n Railroad
RObber i'm MartfnsburS.

MARTINsBURG, WEST Va, Oct s.
On Monday night two colored men were
caught by watchmen Christian Lantz
and Michael Riordon in the act of
breaking open car doors on siding OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany. MIR. Lan.z grappled with one OF
the robbers, who exclaimed, "What are
you going to do with me :" and turning
suddenly upon Mr.. Lantz, shot him in
the abdomen, near the navel. Watch
man Riordon ran to the rescue, and the
armed robber fired upon him also, strik-
ing him above the knee, producing a
painful but not dangerous wound. The
TWO robbers made their escape. Both
the victims identified the assailant and
his companion as desperate colored men
who had been about MartiDsburg for
some time. From the first Mr.. Lantz
was not expected 10 recover. The sur
geou attending him, DR.. J. Ii. Hunter.
pronounced the wound fatal as soon as
he was called, and this evening the sui
ferer died from the effects of the shot.
Immediately after the occurrence pur-
suit of the robbers were begun. The
authorities secured the country, and
reward of $50 was offered for their ap-
prehension. To-day one of the robbers
who did the shooting was caught in the
hut Of a colored woman, about six miles
southeast of Martinsburg, by Messrs. L.
J. Foreman, j. Z. ONeal and John
Rhcads. and was safely lodged in Jail.
Very great excitement prevails, and
there are many threats of lynching.
Both the watchmen were highly es-
teemed in Marlinsburg.
Laier.-As was anticipated crowd
of masked men forced their way into
the Jail about eleven o'clock and took
the negro Smith ont to hang MIN, but
were persuaded from doing SO by MIR.
A. Odep, OF this city, and he was taken
back TO the Jail. Great excitement pre-

A most extraordinary funeral occur
red at Mankato, Minnesota, last week.
The dip,heria broke out in the family
of Mr.. Samuel Randall and carried off
four of his children within four days.
The bodies of two other children, who
had died some time previously, and had
been buried in an old Cemetery, were
disintered, and the six little collins, car
ried to the graveyard at the same time,
afforded a sad aud unusual spectacle.
An immense concourse of sympathizing
friends and neighhors gathered about
the family mansion to attest their sor-
row for the grief-stricken parents.

Edr The chief interest in the cleo
tons 10 Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana
and Iowa Tuesday centred upon the
result of the vote for representatives in
Congress. In Ohio the republicans
claim TO have carried their State ticket
by 10000 majority, gaining several Con-
gressmen. The democrats majority last
year was 22,52O. In West Virginia
the democrats were successful, electing
their three congressman. Martin, Will
son and Kenna. In Indiana the demo-
Gratis carried the State ticket, as in 1876,
though the nationals may have the
balance of power in the Legislature. In
Iowa the republicans are supposed to
have retained their hold.

can party started the Greeuback party
as trap for the democrats. The igno'
rant portion of the democrats bit at the
greenback bait, split the party and got
caught, consequently there will be a
large increase of Republican Congress
men, and hard money during the next
twenty years at least. When will the

S. V. r. Rive are informed that
Messrs. Satterlee & Co, S. V. i. X.
contractors, have within the past week
negotiated, in Philadelphia, about &c.
600 of Jefferson County Bonds at 95
cents on the 500. And We also have
information that one of our wealthy
land owners has signifed his intention
to take six bonds, thousand dollars each,
at par. All this in spite OF an effort on
the part of some OF our County people,
(whose highest duty it is to appreciate
our County securities) why appreciate
them. We see no reason why Jefferson
County Bonds should not he eagerly
sought at par. As we said before, they
are better investment than Govern
ment per cents.-two per cent better
and just as sure. Our farmers, or
other large tax payers, who have funds
to invest, by purchasing these bonds
could provide for meeting taxes with
the coupons annually. Jefferson Coun-
ty is rich in fine lands-fruittul acres,
desirable property of all kinds, and
populated with people who will
compare with any on the face OF the
globe. The bonded debt of the county
is petty circumstance compared with
the ability TO pay, and it is wrong TO
decry her securilies-a policy that has
the ring of seltishuess.-Frss Press.

IMPORTANT SURGICAL OPERATION
Last Wednesday, DIR. w. +. Funden-
berg, of Cumberland, Md, assisted by
DR.. Henry Brubaker, of this place, ope
rated upon MIR. Edward Glessner, age
60 wears, of Shankville, this county, for
the removal of his left eye.
About three months ago MIR. Glessner
lost the entire sight Of his eye from q
premature explosion OF powder, while
blasting limestone on his farm. Three
weeks ago, the injured eye began TO be
very painful, and the sight of the sound
one was getting dim. 1t was necessary
to remove the injured one at once, not
alone on account of giving so much
pain, but in order TO preserve the good
one. The operation was perfectly sue
cessful. The patient returned home on
Friday, fully recovered from the effects
of the operation.-SOmerse (Pa.) Dem

RUSSIA, according TO The estimate Of the
Cologne Gazette" very high authority,
can place in the field at present an army
of 100000 men. This strength may lie
maintained, but cannot be increased. The
Russian forces now in European Turkey
and Roumania amount t. twelve and
half army corps-312,o00 men. About
100000 men must be employed for the &C.
cupation of Asiatic Turkey so that only
seven and half aamy corps-l87 800 men
remain still disposable. In case OF war
with England the Rus. ian troops could
not be Withdrawn from Turkey and Rou
mania. The disposable seven and hall
army corps would then be employed for
occupying the coasts Of the Black Sea and
the Baltic. Poland and S.. Peterstur.
aud Moecow, where recent events have
shown the presence of very dangerous eie-
ments, would also require strong garrisons
Russia could, theref5re, in case OF war
with England, maintain her present posi-
ton, but, according 10 the view of the
German Journal, would have no forces-noI
to speak Of an Indian campaign-for tax

at whose mercy she would be if Austria
