always large in this, the fruit season; and yet, III
view of some alterations in the tariff, to take

chase freely, and at the same time tn Islanders
are crowding their ugars TO market as fast as
possible. Again, the Z. S. Commissioners are
soon to be here. to look after the alleged frauds

ever been pructiced by the Islanders. The pres

Biz Thing, Sure.
d City Aztve to Memorable 0cca-
sion, and Determined to Reach
Unprecedented Results.

The arrangements for the coming
Oriole celebration in Baltimore are
certainly upon a scale which must
impress even the most enthusiastic
advocate of big events. That the
Monumental City is looking up and
has caught the spirit O. enterprise
characteristic of the West is beyond
question. What she does is no longer
by halves, but believing that which
is worth doing at all is worth doing
well, now propose to outdo even New
Orleans in carnivals, and in addition
present attractions never before
dreamed of. If Louisville and Gin
cinatti have their great Expositions,
st. Louis her grand Fairs and Chicago
her Sangerfests, Baltimore has her
summer nights Carnival, and that,
too, after a fashion which all Europe
could not excel.
1t would be surprise if Baltimore
soon INDUCED in an Exposition her
self, and when she does it will be
business, and no mistake. Having
demonstrated her ability to surpass
everything in the mystic pageant line
ever before attempted and educated
her thoroughgoing, energetic bust
ness men in public enterprises, the
chances are that they will naturally
seek new channels for their expert
ence, and what more likely than a
big novelty in the way of an Expo
sitlon, with features never before
presented?
Already Baltimore is pcrfccting
for the Oriolc festivities an electric
programme which will astonish the
natives, and the Tuesday night of
carnival week promises a remarkable
series of attractions in which electric
ity will play most prominent part.
Baltimore was the first city in the
Union to demonstrate the practical
bility of the telegraph, the first to
construct a passenger railway, and
the first to illume her streets with
gas. Now she proposes to lead by a
long way the display of electric light
effects-to be the first to prove its
wild field of possible operations.
The different electric companies in
the country are becoming greatly
interested in the exhibition, and will
vie with each other in lending expert
enccd and practical aid It will be
a memorable night, and one which it
will we'll repay long journey to en-
joy. The Baltimore and Ohio, the
city's great road, is doing everything
within the scope of it's enormous re-
sources to make the celebration I'M
precedented success. Rates from all
stations have been put way down, to
half the ordinary fare in fact, and
the details perfected for carrying,
with perfect satisfaction, all who may
come, no matter what the number.
The Oriole in Baltimore this year
is indeed to be big thing, and those
who enjoy the provcrbial hospitality
of the Monumental City upon the
memorable occasion will never regret
If.

According to announcement, Miss
Magill appeared before an audience
composed of the most intelligent cit
liens of Charlestown, on Friday night
last, at Washington Hall. Her enter
tainment was such as to make us truly
sorry for all who missed it, and if it
were possible, we would gladly de-
scribe it for the benefit of those of
our readers who were not present.
All were impressed with the fact that
bliss Magill is a lady of very unusual
talent as an elocutionist. During the
rendition of "Casabianca," "Aunt
"Anarky's Presents" GLOW RUDE
Did It," ga Boy Wanted" and
other humorous selections, the entire
house was almost convulscd with
laughter, while her rendition of pa

sensation upon her audience. We
shall long remember our pleasant eve
ming with Miss NTagill, and hope for
her return to our midst.

One of the finest and most complete
carriages ever built at the Phoenix
Carriage Works was shipped by Mr..
Thomas to Lynchburg this week.
The doors and back were furnished
with heavy plate glass, the interior
was supplied with pockets for books,
cigars, ETC., and bell and other ap-
purtenances to enable the occupants
of the interior to communicate at once
with the driver. This vehicle was
built to order, and it's superior make
and finish will add to Mr.. Thomas
reputation in the City of the Hills.
Recently rs Mrs. Carter and Mrs.
Gaunt-the former q daughter and
the latter sister-in-law of Mr.. r. A.

miles from Bcrryvillc, were out driv-
ing in buggy, the horse began kick
ing, and finally started on a run at
full speed. After running some dis
lance, he succeeded in breaking the
buggy all to pieces. Both of the
ladies were thrown violently to the
ground and. were very much hurt.
The accident was witnessed by several
men who were at work in neighbour

sent for physician. Mrs. Stephen
Gaunt, one of the victims of the above
accident, died at the residence of Mr..
