transportation of the Baltimore aud
Ohio Railroad. who on Saturday re-
turned from trip of ten days over
the lines of the company, says he
will have a conference with the
Postmaster General on the ques-
ton OF fast mail services. The House
of Representatives had adopted a
report naming 100000 as the ap.
preparation to the trunk lines for
special mail facilities. The Post
MASTER General, who has discretion-
airy control of the matter, has here
tofore expressed the opinion that
Baltimore should have some of the

The Knights Templar.

On "Wednesday next, 10th inst, the
West Virginia Grand Commandery,
x. t., win assemble in this city in
regular Annual Conclave. The first
session will be held in the morning,
commencing at 10 O'Clock, and the
principal business of the conclave will
doubtless be concluded by 4 o'clock,
P. NJ, at which hour, promptly pub
lie procession of all Sir knights in at
tendance, in full uniform will form on
South Queen St., and at given signal
will move in parade, traversing the
principal streets of the city, headed by
the justly famous Frederick City Cor
net Band of twenty-five instruments.
The march being concluded, the Sir
knights will be inspected in the public
square by the Deputy Grand Comman-
der of the United States, Eminent Sir
Knight Robert f. Whithers of Vir-
ginia, assisted by the Grand Officers of
this State.
AT the close of these exercises, the
Sir Knights will return to the Lodge
room, and at 9 O'Clock, following,
they and their ladies will participate
with the membership of Palestine
Commandery No. and other lodges
in grand banquet to be given by that
organization at the Grand Central Ho-
tel. The local Sir Knights are busily
engaged in perfecting the arrange
ments for the proper reception as we'll
as the comfort and pleasure of their
guests, and we feel sure they have the
hearty sympathy and cooperation Of
the citizens of the town. The conclave
will attract hither a great many
strangers, many of them eminent citi-
zens of this and other States, and some
of them enjoying national reputation
in and out of the order. We therefore
feel confident that we need but to sug-
gest tiff, indeed, that is necessary
to insure from all our citizens a
hearty welcome to all who may visit
us during the session. We know the
people of Martinsburg will cheerfully
acquiesce in any suggestion looking
to the tender of proper courtesy to
these expected guests, and one thing
just now deemed pertinent is that the
streets and sidewalks, especially the
principal thorougiifares likely to be
frequented during the day, shall be Civ
EN- such immediate attention as may
be required to render them attractive
and inviting. Such other thoughts up
on the topic as will doubtless suggest
themselves to the authorities and citi-
zens of the city should be at once
practically demonstrated, that the
strangers so soon to sojourn briefly
within our gates shall carry with them
when they leave us pleasant memories
of our town, our people, our courtesy
and our hospitality. This much is due
Palestine Commandery, upon whose
membership the principal and more
arduous responsibility rests.

THE HARPER's FERRY PROPERTY
The solicitor of the Treasury has re-
ceived no offer from the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company relative
to purchasing the government prop
erty at Harper's Ferry. AS there
seems no prospect of selling the prop
erty, it will probably be leased very
shortly. A stock company in Phila-
delphia intend making an offer this
week for the renting of it, but it is not
known for what purpose they desire
it. The offer of this company and that
of 81, cooper year recently made by the
company proposing to use the water
power for furnishing electric light to
both Baltimore and Washington, will
be at once considered.
