A wreck occurred on the B. & O.,
about three miles east of this place, on
Saturday night. The engine Of the
West bound express No. 2 jumped the
track, pulling the tender, baggage
car, fruit car, express and two pas
senger coaches after,-two sleepers at
tached remaining on the track. About
so passengers were aboard, including
a carload of soldiers, all escaping in
jury save one or two who received
slight bruises. The agent at this place
Mr.. w. F. Landers, with physicians,
and many officers of the road fastened
to the scene, but little was to be done
except clearing the wreck. No cause
can be assigned for the accident, as
the road was in thorough repair, and
every care and precaution was eXer-
cised, and can only be accounted for
by perhaps a bolt or some other solid
obstruction on the track. The no loss
of life was almost miraculous, and was
due greatly to the strong and substan-
TALLY built coaches in use.
PERsoNAL.-C. M. Shinn, Esq, left
for Fairmont this week, to spend a
short time with his family.
1t was our pleasure during the week
to meet many of the teachers in atten-
dance at the Institute, and find them
very genial and intelligent, and hearth
ly engaged in educational work.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mr..
L. +. Campbell, "A. NJ, Prof. of Nat
ural Sciences in the Hagerstown
Seminary. This Seminary has full
course of instruction and an able facul-
ty. The graduates of the various
classes come from every adjoining
State-West Virginia having fair
representation.
Miss Jennie Spangler, Of Piedmont,
and Miss Jennie Griffith, of Montgom-
cry County, Nd, are the guests of Mr.
and Mrs. Geo. f. Evans.
Miss Fannie Haldeman, daughter
of j. S. Haldeman, Esq, has returned
from Nassar College and will spend
her vacation with her father, in this
city, and with friends in Washing
ton. A son and daughter of Rev. Geo.
V. Leech are at home-the first time
they call Martinsburg such-and we
hope they like our city.
After few weeks spent at his home
in Grafton, Mr.. M. j. Drabelle has
returned to Martinsburg. He relieves
Mr.. III. V. Daniels, at the Distillery,
who has leave of absence for few
weeks, which he will spend at his
home at Harper's Ferry, and will at
tend the Grand Army Encampment
at Baltimore.

CONE OR FROM AMONG TEEM.-Maior
ROBERT TANsILL, Of Prince William
county, has had his eyes opened. He
writes to the Alexandria Gazette long
letter, from which we extract few lines !:
"Lastly, as the editor OF the Wing,
which paper has been the very able organ
OF the Readjusters, has announced his in
tention to support President Arthurs adj
ministntiOn, which is suggestion or
recommendation that all other Readiusters
should do likewise, but which is matter
for each Resdiuster to decide for himself.
/ venture the opinion that $4,000 OF the
10000 Observation-Disclosures will return
10 the Democratic party, and consequently
the next Legislature will be largely Demo-
cratic. AS for myself, as politics have
ruined me, shall hereafter vote for a per-
sonal friend, if l believe him honest and
capable, without regard to his party asso-
Citations.
"With reimbursement am done, and ex-
ceedingly regret that j ever had any con-
Germ in it, or secession, and for both have
heartily repented, and hope to be pardon
ed. 1t is as much impossible to make Vir-
ginia Republican State as it is to make
Turkey Christian country. That's all.

A Train stopped by n Virginia Hail.

The following from the Roanoke NelcS
narrates wonderful occurrence OF the
storm OF last Friday night:
Last night as the up-train, which left
Lynchburg at $50 O'Clock, passed Old Lis
bon, two and half miles west OF ThaX-
toms, it entered the track OF one OF the most
destructive hail and wind-stOrms that ever
passed through this section. The train
was barred by the accumulation OF hail on
the roed-bed, and was finally brought to a
standstill by an immense tree across the
track, together with telegraph-wires and
poles, fences, cord-wood, etc. Captain
Fairfax, in charge, summoned such
force as he could, and the engineer
sounded long and loud the dis
tress-horn. The passengers got out
to give aid, and it was found that the track
was literally blockaded with drifts OF hall
stones about the size Of the end Of mans
thumb, which in places were banked up
ankle deep on the track and on either side
OF it. From the first point OF interrogation
to within one mile OF Buiord's, distance
of three miles, the track was blockaded
with fences, cord-wood, rock, and hail
drifts. The storm seemed to have centred
at GooSe-creek crossing, and at the culvert,
under the embankment at that place, the
drifts of hai-stones were piled up waist
deep. The train finally, with the aid OF
some passengers, Captain Fairfax, the train
men, and the section-hands, made its way
through after delay OF about three hours.
Great damage to crops, &C., must have been
done, but so far no one has been able to
learn the particulars"

The Jury in the case Of Emmett Claude,
the southampton murderer, was composed
OF eight whites and four negroes. The
former favored verdict Of murder In the
first degree: the latter would only consent
TO verdict involving imprisonment In the
penitentiary. The disagreement OF the
tury was not on the question Of guilt, but
A. To the measure OF punishment. The
evidence against the accused was eireum-
stantial. but entirely connected, and very
strong. IL il expected that another Jury
will be empanelIcd to try the case at the

How are Coupons to bc Proved to be
"a Genuine?

t 9enuk3e
yhls Il a very interesting but perplexing
ouesfIou. The States bonds and coupons
wefe isx,,ed in the following manner; The
Trc..wrvr taroxoE RTE, wrote a bond
with It's coupons, signed the bond for tne
state. and signed each coupon. This NAH
uscript bond, with It's coupons, was taken
70 New York to the American Bank-Nofe
Company, and by II exactly copied upon
mates. The bonds and coupons were then
made By taking impressions from these
mates. These bonds, with their coupons
on. were then issued by the State, and
though no officer OF hers had ever signed
either the bonds or the coupons, yet she,
having issued them as her own, Is OF
course held to have adopted them as her
bonds The paper upon which they are
printed Is patented, and the owner OF the
patent. who knows the secret OF Its manu-
facture, can tell whether given coupon Is
one OF those furnished by him to the State
mr. an imitation. He knows this by the
texture Of the paper, and each plate has
private marks put upon IL by him, and
known only to him, by which he can tell
whether a given coupon came from the
plate manufactured by him or whether II
came from one made in imitation OF his.
Now, II the person who saw GEORGE kYE
sign the manuscript bond, and who TOOK
IL to New York to the Bank-Note COM
pany. could be produced TO testify that
he did carry and deliver that bond
to the Bank-Note Company, and the
employe OF the Bank-Note Company
who received it from him and copied it
upon plate could be produced to testify
that he did receive it and copy it upon a
plate, and that the particular coupon is
taken from the plate upon which he copied
the manuscript bond, as he knows from the
texture Of the paper and from the private
marks upon it, in that case 1t cannot be
doubted that the coupon could have been
proved by chain Of circumstances to be
one OF those issued and uttered by the
State. But how, in the nature OF things,
can it be proved to be one OF the
States coupons by any process short
OF thiss Proving that the signature
Of GEORGE RYE, which it bears, is an exact
and literal copy Of GEORGE RYE's sigma
ture proves nothing, for il is just as posi-
bic for forger to copy GEORGE RYE's sig
nature as it was for the Bank-Note Com
pany to copy it, and il the course Of proof
indicated is the only proof that will estab-
lish to a certainty the genuineness OF
coupon, how is the proof to be obtained?
The employees Of the Bank-Note Company
reside without the State, and cannot be re-
quired to come here, and il those who
manufactured the plates from the manu-
script are dead, what then? This seems TO
be a perplexing question qaacunqae uia
ddtur.

TWO wAsH,xoros WOMEN VILLA NT0xI-
r cAryp ry0iCr IN SAVAGE ENCOUNTER
4. AND pysruRB -THE PEACE AID QUIET OF
ALEXANDRIA on SUNDAY.
The following Il taken from the Aiexan-
dria Gazette Of Monday:
A scene. disgraccful IN the extreme, look
place Sunday afternoon about ~ O'Clock IN
Alexandria, on King street between fltt
and Royal. Two well-dressed young wo..
men from wmhington, IN hign state Oh
intoxication, commenced Quarrelling on
their way to the steamboat wharf. Their
behavior attracted a good deal OF atten-
tion. They continued their noisy con-
duct and profane language until they
reached the point indicated above, when
the larger woman attacked the smaller
with the ferocity Of wild animal. A
regular roueh-and-uimble fight ensued,
which lasted for some time, despite the
efforts Of citizens to stop the oisgrace'ui
proceedings. A crowd oil seVerai hundred
neonle collected. Three rounds were
fought. The larger woman, who was very
drunk, grappled her companion and was
sent to the ground, her hat, cuns, ana UNI.
brela flying in different directions; but
she arose quickly and put herself IN posi-
ton to be again grounded by her more
sober adversary, this time rolling into the
gutter. Here several citizens lnterfered,
and one OF the peacemakers had the crown
taken out Of his Oscar Wilde hat, while the
other received for his trouble flattened
nose. The women then came together and
made sad havoc with each others clothes
One had her hat torn to pieces, while gosa-
mer coats, with which the combatants were
provided, and false bangs stood no chance
at all.
The woman not so anxious for fight
finally disentangled herself from the en-
braces OF her assailant and started towards
the wharf. She was arrested by Officer
Tomlin, and taken to the station-house and
locked up. The other woman was arrested
by officer Mccain, and had to be taken to
the station-house bodily by four men. Al
police headquarters the women gave their
names as Pearl Hough and Belle Fitzgerald.
They also stated that they lived with their
mothers in different sections Of the city
the Fitzgerald woman on Fifth street, and
Hough alias Sylvia Pussy in the Swami
poodle neighborhood. Hough was released
at night, friend depositing s. for her ap-
pearance Monday morning. She failed to
appear at the Mayors Office, however
The other woman was fined $40, but could
not raise the money TO pay the fine.
