A Narrow Escape.-We learn
from the Democrat, published at Ell Do
RADIO, Kansas, that DR.. Sigler, son OF
Mr.. William Sigler, formerly Of this vi
cinity, had II narrow escape from death
by lightning a few days ago. The ac-
count is as follows: "The new residence
on west Central Avenue, occupied by
DR.. Sigler, was struck by lightning
early this morning. The bolt passed
through the roof near the chimney,
struck a large wardrobe in the east bed
room where DR.. Sigler and his wife
were sleeping, tearing it into thousand
pieces. A heavy board was hurled
across the room, struck the Doctor in
the head and knocked him seuseless.
The head-boar0 OF the bed was knocked
off, and screw from the wood work
driven into the wall. Three window
lights near the head of the bed were
Knocked out, and nearly all of Mrs. Sig
ler's clothing in the wardrobe was de-
stIoyed. The bolt passed down between
the partition walls, and tore off some
misunderstanding near the ground. DR..
Sigler's father and mother were Sleep
ing in the next room, but were not in
iured. 1t was indeed narrow escape
for the entire family"

Death ola Worthy Young Man.

1t is with great regret that we chron-
icle the death of Mr.. j. Ransom Bolts,
son of the late Col. Lawson Bolts, Of
Charlestown, which occurred at Warm
Springs, Va, last Saturday. Mr.. Bolts
was connected with the firm Of SIN.
Bloom & Co., of Hagerstown, and was
quite well known in this community.
A few weeks ago he went to Warm
Springs to recuperate his health and
strength, but it proved to be his last
Journey. He was i'll for about three
weeks, and was tenderly nursed by his
mother and brothers, who were with
him when he died. His remains were
Inferred in the Episcopal graveyard at
Charlestown on Monday last, in the
presence of 4 large assemblage of rcla-
tiyes and friends from his native place
and from Hagerstown. Mr.. Bolts was
only IS years of age, and his early death
will be sincerely regretted by the many
friends who had learned to appreciate
his sterling worth and honest, manly,
Christian character.

Martinsburg Business Locals.

No Whining.-'Trade has been quiet this
season" This is the mournful cry heard on
every hand. We are glad 10 say that We are
not candidates for public sympathy. on the
contrary, we congratulate ourselves that de-
spite general depression in business our sales
have been entirely satisfactory. Here are the
reasons:
I've buy our goods for cash. "For cash"
means lowest price and a liberal discount.
2-We make a moderate and reasonable
profit on what we sell except on some lines
where the profit is so modest that II is out OF
our sight.
S-We aim to tell the simple truth about our
goods. Overpraise may make one sale, but
how about the next? We want 10 keep our
customers.
I'VE watch the market closely and keep
on hand the freshest and newest styles.
5-We have one price for ALL Your little
child can buy as cheaply as you can.
6-We do not expect you TO buy every time
you look. We want you TO examine what We
have. We are always glad 10 see you.
These are our cardinal principles. They will
tell in the long run. They have been very
advan tageous To our BUSINESS. Do you like
them? If you do come and look at our line
OF dress goods, carpets, &c.

DYSPEPSIA.

Sedentxry habits, mental Worry, nervous
excitement, excess or imprudence In eat
ing or drinking, and various other causes,
induce Constipation followed by general
arrangement of the liver, kidneys, and
stomach, in which the disorder Of each
organ increases the infirmity Of the others.
The immediate results are Loss Of Apo
tite. Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Fiat
ulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure
Of physical and mental yigor. distressing
sense Of weight and fullness in the stomach,
and increased Costiveness, all Of which are
known under one head as Dyspepsia.
In every instance where this disease does
not originate from scrofulous faint In the
blood, AYERS PILLS may be confidently
relied upon TO effect a cure. Those cases
not amenable 10 the curative influence OF
AYERS PILLS alone will certainly yield IL
the PILLS are aided BY the powerful blood
purifying properties Of Ayers SARsAPA-

Dyspeptics should know that the longer
treatment of their malady Is postponed,
the more difficult Of cure IL becomes.

New Fire Engine.-TEe new But
ton Steam Fire-Engine, received by the
Independent Fire Company of Charles
town, was given a full and fair test on
Tuesday and Wednesday last, and prov
ing satisfactory to the Company in ev-
cry particular, has been purchased, at
a cost OF s., 965-one-half cash and the
balance payable i'm three years. The
engine was operated by Mr.. Theodore
Button, of the Button Steam Fire-En-
CINE Co., of Waterford, n. Y, the man
ufacturers, and with ease threw a single
l15-inch stream to a height of 100 feet
or more, and two streams about two
thirds as high. Horizontally it threw
a distance of 254 feet. Water was thrown
i'm seven minutes from the time the fire
was lit under the boiler, and steam was
kept up and increased during action.
The Independent Company paraded in
full uniform, with music, on Wednes-
day night. and made good appearance.
The company has been incorporated,
the corporators being Messrs. A. stump,
Julius c. Holmes, Cleon Moore, w. 6.
Earnshaw and c. NJ. Hough.-Charles-
torn Spirit.
1t will perhaps prove of interest to
compare the result of the trial OF the
Button with that OF the Silsby engine
of the Shepherdstown Company. BY
consulting the files of the REGISTER, we
find that at the test of the Silsby last
March in six minutes it had 80 pounds
of steam and was throwing water. Wa
ter was thrown horizontally through
l1S-inch nozzle 25S feet. The greatest
height was about 40 feet above the COL
lege Steeplc.

County News.-we clip the fol-
lowing from the last Charlestown
papers:
From the Spirit:
Ann Lee, colored, was arrested on
charge of stealing -four from the Charles
town mill last Friday, and held to an
swer before the next grand jury.
Messrs. Silas B. Sisk, VIM. r. jenkins
and William Moler, employees of the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad, were all
taken suddenly i'll at ono time, few
days ago, as is supposed, from drinking
butter-milk.
Among legal gentlemen from abroad
attendant upon the Supreme Court Of
Appeals, we notice Judge Jno. w. Ken
nedy, of Wheeling; T. P. Jacobs, OF
wetzel county; B. NJ. Amber, of Park
ersburg, and Judge Richard Parker, of
Winchester.
Mrs. VIM. A. Reilly, an estimable lady
living in Clarke county not far from
Summit Point, died suddenly on We'd
nesday night last, being found dead in
bed on Thursday morning. Her remains
were inferred at Stones Chapel on FRI
day, and her funeral was largely at
tended.
The Shenandoah Valley Railroad de.
pot at this place was broken into on
Friday night last, entrance being effect
ed through a window. The hinges Of
the iron safe were taken off in bung-
ling attempt to get at the contents of the
same, but without success in gaining
the end desired. The evidences are
plain that the job was done by most
ignorant amateur, and Il hope is enter
tanned that he may yet be detected and
brought to justice.
The Minville Milling Company have
Just finished putting in their rolls, and
are prepared to fill orders for high
grade roller flour. They are paying full
prices for choice wheat, and sellers are
invited to call on them or send samples
before selling elsewhere. We were
pleased to receive a call yesterday from
Mr.. John w. Avirett, of Cumberland,
Nd. the pleasant and energetic young
gentleman who has taken charge of these
mills. Mr.. Avirett has been an employee
of the r. D. Johnson Milling Co., Of
Cumberland, for three years past. He is
a son of the Rev. James B. Avirett, for
merly of Winchester, General Turner
Ashby's old Chaplain), and well known
to our people.
From the Democrat:
Mr.. Thomas VanvactOr, in driving a
four-horse wagon, loaded with sane,
down the hill on the Bloomery turnpike,
just beyond the tollgate, ON Tuesday
last, was unable to manage the wagon,
which ran with great force upon the
horses. The leader was thrown to the
ground and probably permanently dis
abled by being trampled upon and run
over. Mr.. V. escaped injury, and no
further damage resulted.
