bd ESCAPE AND RE-CAPTURE.-Mr.
Rich T. Taylor, the deputy marshal sent
to Cincinnati. TO bring Charles Goodman
to Washington city as a fugitive from
justice, arrived and reports that Good
man escaped from the custody of his
guards at point near Harper's Ferry.
Just before midhigh tSunday night, when
the train was dashing along at speed
of thirty miles an hour, Mr.. Taylor left
his seat and went to the rear of the car.
During his absence Goodman escaped,
and on his return the Cincinnati officers,
who, it is said, were asleep, expressed
themselves unaware of his absence The
cars were searched. One of the passen-
gers said he saw Goodman when they
entered a tunnel some distance from
Harpers Ferry, and that when next he
looked at his seat it was empty. The
night was dark and disagreeable, and
search outside promised nothing, but
Mr.. Taylor made the best search that
could be made under the circumstances,
and then returned to Washington
without Goodman.
We learn that Goodman jumped from
the train below Duffields and went to
Mr.. Rawleigh Moler's residence, and
was so much injured that DR.. Alexander,
of Duffields, was called in to render him
surgical aid. Goodman was then re-

Up to this time no further trace of old
Mr.. Cofl'enberger, has been discovered.
Last Saturday Mr.. Edward Mckee of this
town, who was engaged in searching for
the remains in the neighborhOod of the
supposed murder, found a short oak club
in a hollow stump. 1t was covered from
sight with leaves and he discovered it by
happening to stop at this stump to rest,
placing his cane on it the leaves gave way,
causing it to fall into the hole. The club
has upon it a very peculiar and distinct
blotch resembling blood. The club is now
in the possession of Sheriff Nadenbousch.
From all the circumstances the people
in Hedgesville and vicinity are decided
in the opinion that MIR. Cotfenberger has
been murdered and all the evidence, so
far, points Enthusiastically to the negro,
Gilbert, as the perpetratOr. Sheriff Ma
denbOusch has offered reward of $40 for
any information that will lead to the dis
covery of the missing man. If crime so
foul has really been committed in our
community, it evidences Il bad state of AZ
fairs, and shows that we have those among
us, who, if the opportunity present, will
not hesitate TO take human life TO secure Il
few dollars Martinsburg, Statesman,

rey- CEMETERY FAIR.-The Fair held

Hey- CEMETERY FAIR-The Fair held
to raise money to enclose Elmwood
Cemetery and build a keepers house,
has been a great success-far above ex-
pectations-the amount realized being
over S725 This sum is being gradual
ly increased, and will increase until the
object is accomplished, because the
work is done by "willing hands aud
loving hearts" Who are the workers?
The ladies of Shepherdstown and the
vicinity, and of the families of all the
lot-holders. Too much praise cannot
be bestowed, because it has all been
merited. What would the world be
without self.sacrifcing woman ? Ladies,
you have the thanks of the whole COM
munity-of all interested in this Gene
terry, some of whom live in olher States
You have the thanks of the board of
directors, whose aim and purpose is to
erect substantial and tasteful improve
ments that will repay you for your la
Dor.
The proceeds of the Fair and reve-
nues of the Cemetery will not be sutf-
cient to build suitable house and fence,
consequently our citizens will be solicit
ted to contribute, and We hope all will
respond, each according to his means,
but cheerfully, then the object OF your
affection will be attained.

e6 ELMwoOD CENETERf.-Mr. jas
H. Shepherd aud the Secretary have
completed posting the books, aud ascer-
taiped the Indebtedness of the commu-
nifty to the Cemetery Company to be
about $500, all of which will not like
ly be available. This has accrued from
the sale of lots, grave-digging and char
ges for keeping the lots in order. The
sales of lots are annually diminishing,
as large majority of the families OF
this part of the county have purchased
lots, Consequently the revenue from
this source has been very much curtail-
ed. During the past three or four years
there have been very few re-interments,
and will be less every year. consequent
ly the revenue from the labors OF the
keeper comes almost entirely from in
terments, Therefore it became neces-
sary to make an annual charge of 81 for
keeping the lots in order. In no other
way can the expenses of the Cemetery
be met, and al parts of this beautiful
city of the dead properly cared for, and
uniformity of appearance and adorn-
ment be maintained.
No thoughtful lot holder can object
to paying II annually for moving his
lots two or three times and cultivating
the shrubbery. He gets value received
for his money and his mind is relieved
of all anxiety about the condition of his
lot. This work is done by the keeper
under the supervision of the directors.
We have never visited Cemetery of
the kind so neatly kept, All the wish
es of the lot holders are promptly car
ried out, aud their complaints are care
fully investigated aud the causes remov-
ed when possible.
Who owns this Cemeteryf Undoubt-
edly the lot holders. Consequently when
they pay 81 annually, or any other
charge, they should bear in mind that
the money is expended in planting trees
and evergreens, keeping the walks and
drives in order, III building an enclosure
and keepers house, to protect the
grounds from stock, and Dissertation by
thoughtless or malicious visitors.
The money is used to adorn and pro-
tect their own property, and those loved
ones Chow dearly loved! there entomb-
ed, and to secure an earthly home for
their own bodies. This care of the
dead is one of the blessed fruits of ad-
vaneed civilization and invaluable chris
tianity.
These bills have not been collected,
because the money was not needed, but
it is hoped and believed that those in
debted will promptly and cbeerfully
pay, as it is proposed this year to build
a substantial and beautiful front fence,
and a keepers house and chapel COM
bined.
