THE CHESAPEAKE & OHIO RAILWAY AMI
THE SUMMER RESoRTs.-The proprietors Of
the springs, mountain resorts. and summer
boarding houses along the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway have much cause to be pleased
with the manner in which the c. & O., man.
agement has brought them into notice.
First comes the 2S-paged leaf1et sketching
the grand scenic route" from the West to
the sea, illustrated with representations OF
oil the noted places and much of the wonder
full and strange displays In nature along the
line. That has been followed by another,
which Is mainly filled with the places # re-
sort, the summer-homes, how reached, names
of proprietors with terms. etc. Both publi-
cations have maps of railway and other con-
nections, and. in short, all necessary infor-
nation. In the list are four summer homes
offered at Waynesboro, five at Staunton. four
at Craigsville, and one at Pond gap. There
are 20 springs and resorts, and 95 country
houses on and near the line which will re-
ceive company, There are $40 rooms at the
watering-places, and more than 1000 at the
clearinghouse open to visitors.
Major P H. Woodward, the Passenger Agent
at Staunton, who can talk all the time on
these matters from full store-house of infor-
nation, handed us these publications for re-
view.

REDUCTION IN PRICE OF GAs.-We learn
that the Board of Directors of the Staunton
Gas Company took steps at recent meeting
for the immediate renewal and enlargement
of its largest gas-holder. They also adopted
the following resolution: "That CASH ills, for
gas furnished from and after the LIST of July
1885, shall be discounted tWenty per cent. to all
customers who pay their bills with in fifteen
days after the end of each month";
This is move in the right direct ion. It re-
duces the price of gas to two dollars per thou
sand feet for prompt payment. We hope tn e
company will find, on making trial of this
rate for a time, that they will be able, under
the improvements they propose making in
their works, to yet further reduce it's price. A
considerably enlarged consumption would
undoubtedly enable them to do SO.

"FANcY HILL" FOR SALE.-One of the most
widely known and handsome estates in Rock
bridge county is Fancy Hill, on the old Valley
road between Lexington and the Natural
Bridge. The proprietor, Mr.. D. E. Laird, will
offer it at public sale on the 18th of August
the particulars of which the advertisement in
the SPECTATOR furnishes. Located in the Val
ley plateau, Fancy HILL as a large productive
farm, with its elegant buildings offering the
comforts of a first-cass home, should be sought
after. A visit, of course, will be made by any
one desiring to purchase, and upon such, as
well as others who may have in contempla-
ton an investment of that kind, personal in
spection will make most favorable impress
sion as to the character of the property, the
neighborhood, and its advantages In all re-
spects. Fancy Hill will always command
good ownership, and should Mr.. Laird dispose
of 1t, we sincerely hope our section of the VAL
ley will not lose gentleman so highly es-
teemed, and who has contributed SO much, as
a teacher of our youth, to the permanent well
fare and enlightened progress of his county.

Horrible murder.

DETROIT, December 17.-Yesterday's
fire in suburb of this city. in which
the bodies of Frank Knoch with his
wife and two children were burned, now
proves to have been an appalling
murder. This crime was suspected
yesterday, but the finding of revolver
with all the cartridges discharged, was
all the evidence then secured. To-day
at noon, a post-moTtem examination of
the bodies. was made and resulted in
proof positively substantiating that
theory. Bullet holes and I2-calibre bull
lets we're found in the skulls of both
Frank KnOch and his wife. No suspi-
cion attaches to any one as yet. The
funeral is being held this afternoon, all
four bodies being placed in d single
coffin. 8

gins to play, the corner window Of
the Emperor's apartment il already
opened. and his Majesty Is seen either
writing or reading at the table before
this window, or looking down to the
I" Platz," where hardly any "event"
can escape his notice. The window
closes during the playing Of the band,
and opens again when the torture to the
ear is over. Dinner is punctually
served at 4 P. NJ. The later afternoon
hours are usually used for . carriage
drive to Bockstein, and the evenings his
Majesty passes, as a rule, in the Villa
Solitude, where the two daughters Of
the late Count Lehndorf, the Adjutant-
Generals brother, entertain the Empe-
ror and those OF his suite, or members
ofthe local aristocracy and distinguished
Gastein visitors whom his Majesty
wishes to be invited.
The prediction Of the aged monarch
for seeing young, charming faces, and
in general for being cheered up by the
society of young, good-looking ladies
has brought distinction and notoriety
on modest, well-educated Viennese
young lady, the daughter Of manu-
facturer. Just three years ago the En-
peror, looking, as usual, from the win
dow in the Badeschloss Hotel, had no.
ticed in the opposite window in Strau-
binger's Gasthof the face of young,
sympathetic lady. Day by day his Ma
jesty saw the same face at the same
place, and soon so much liked the ris-
a-ris that one day, when he missed
it, the Emperor not only took the
trouble Of inquiring about the young
lady in question, but seeing her enter
the hotel from the platz, announced his
visit to the Countess Grunne, who al
ways during the Emperor's sojourn
stays at Straubinger's, and before visit
ing the Countess. made inquiries about
his ris-d-ris. "Why do you deprive
me of the pleasure Of seeing you where
I was accustomed to?" the monarch
asked the girl and having entered into
long conversation with her, the EN-
peror expressly desired the young lady
to do him, an old man, the favor Of
continuing to be his sis-a-ris. His
Majesty afterward addressed his favor
lite whenever he met her on his
promenade, and before taking leave Of
Galicia he always asked and obtained
her promise to be his ris-d-ris in the fol-
lowing season. Fraulein Kern is con-
sequently now also in Gastcin. saw
the Emperor address her on his morn
ing walk. but | am glad to remark that
the rare distinction this young lady has
gained Of being SYMPATHETIC to the
most powerful monarch Of our time
has not diminished her modesty nor
weakened her self-control. This is
shown by the reply she gave through
her father to some members Of the
higher aristocracy, who wished to be
to her. ~ am quite will
ing to give pleasure to the venerable
monarch, as his Majesty is good enough
to find one in seeing me, but | can

FEARFUL TIME IN A CIRCUS.
Tue Tent Walls Upon the Audience Many

THE Tent Walls Upon the Audience Many
Persons Seriously Injured.
A dispatch frow Martinsburg says
that ,,,ace vas the scene Of terrible
calamity Wednesday syeGs.ug, III r....,,
twenty-five people were seriously in
jured and many others slightly hurt.
Frank A. Robbins's circus and MENACE
RE was exhibiting in the town, and at
the evening performance there was pre-
sent an audience Of probably 900
persons, About 8 o'clock, just after
the ring performance had commenced,
heavy rain began to fall, the storm
being accompanied by high wind.
The show proceeded, and about Q
o'clock, while Miss Mcdonald, the
Mette Brothers, and baby elephant
were in the ring, the wind suddenly in
creased to gale. Many Of the audi
ence rose to their feet and a general
movement had begun toward the place
Of exit when, under the pressure Of a
heavy gust Of wind, the centre pole
snapped, and in moment the tent col
lapsed upon the heads Of the people,
extiDguishing the lights and dashing
seats and the occupants to the earth in
confused mass.
The scene which ensued is described
as appalling. Above the roar Of the
storm could be heard the trumpeting OF
the elephants, the bowls Of the carniv-
orous animals, the shrieks Of women
and children, and the cries of men. 1t
was more than an hour before anything
could be effectively done looking to a
rescue Of any Of the unfortunates save
those near the outer edge of the col
lspsed canvas. Finally all were extri-
Gated, when it was found that many.
especially women and children, had
been injured. Their names cannot be
sscertained tonight, many of the suf-
ferers having been removed to their
homes in the country.
Nearly every one present had their
clothes torn or was covered with mud.
The pecuniary loss will be heavy.
That a number Of lives were not lost is
almost Q miracle.
