Olivia Andrew. aged 26 days.
On Friday, April 23d, 1886, at his residence
near Greenwood Abemarle county, Virginia.
THOMAS c. BOWEN, at the age of 81 years.
The many friends of this noble-hearted gen
tleman will hear of his death with the deepest
sorrow. He was a man of such generous traits
of character that he was greatly beloved by all
who knew him. His sympathetic heart made
him the friend of every child of sorrow or
suffering that appealed to him for counsel or
assistance. Hundreds of people from all parts
of the State have enjoyed the hospitality of his
home. His familiar form will be sadly missed
in his neighborhood by all classes. He was a
communicate of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. and had been a vestrynlan in Elm
manual church, near Greenwood. from the time
of its organization. Thus dying in the faith of
the Lord Jesus, he exchanges the infirmities of
old age for the peace and happiness of the
world to come. His crown of gray hairs is
exchanged for q crown of glory.

From Frederick City dispatch to
the Baltimore San we learn that the
work of constructing the Monocacy
Valley Railroad from the Western
Maryland Railroad at Mechanicstown
to Catoctin Furnaces. is now being
rapidly pushed, and it is expected
that month or six weeks will prob
ably witness its completion. The
further extension of this road to Mid
dletown and Harper's Ferry, to con-
meet with the Baltimore and Ohio, or
to Woodsboro, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, is thought to be only n
question of time. Both routes have
already been surveyed, and the dis
tances found to be as follows: From
the terminus of the Monocacy Valley
Road to Ellerton, six and a-quarter
miles; from Ellerton to Middletown,
six and a-quarter, and from the latter
place to Harper's Ferry, 16 miles,
making total of 264 miles. In or
der to connect with the Pennsylvania
Road the distance would be, to La
diesburg 81 miles, thence to Woods
boro' y, or a total of 164 miles
The first named route, however, is the
one most likely to be adopted if the
extension is determined upon.

After ample and thorough preparation we
beg to announce the inauguration of our Sixth
Annual Sale of Linens and Housekeeping
Goods, and White Goods. beginning April 18th
and continuing until May 18th, covering a
period of Thirty days. during which time we
propose to distribute the best intrinsic values
ever offered by us at any corresponding time
since we have been in business.
Our large outlet commands for us the lowest
possible prices from the makers. and buying in
such large quantities we can name prices which
would otherwise be impossible, hence the ben
Gifts accruing from our large purchases arc
shared by every individual buyer.
We pay especial attention to the supplying
of Institutions. Boarding Houses. Hotels. Res
taurants, Steamboats,. and Summer Cottages.
and are always ready to bid upon the largest
of contracts
1t would be impossible to put fifth of our
inducements in a space of this size, hence,
have confined ourselves to those most note
worthy.

The appearance of Mr.. Jefferson
Davis at Montgomery, Ala, Wednes-
day, in connection with the proposed
monument in that city to the Confed-
crate dead, was made the occasion of
an enthusiastic popular tribute that
shows how high he still stands in
Southern affection and respect. Mr..
Davis spoke briefly, but with an emo
ton that he hid not disguise, and
while maintaining wise moderation
of language, made it manifest that
his face is still firmly set in the di-
rection of what he considers constitu-
tional liberty. Mr.. Davis took part
at Montgomery, the same day, in the
ceremonies connected with the pro-
posed monument to the Confederate
dead. He made short address and
was followed by Gen. Jno. B. Gordon,
who made the Grafton of the day.

has recalled Baron Schaeffer who has

Senator Beck, of Kentucky, is out
spoken in praise of the Presidents
message on the labor question. He
says if he could have his way he would

ten thousand dollars year. Such a
commission would command the re-
spect of all parties, and would settle

A NARROW ESCAPE FROM A WArERY
GRAvE.-A few days ago gentleman
by the name of Chas. McGinnis, trav-
cling for Lumkins & Sons came to the
South fork of Hughes river, it being
very high, so after making inquiry
about the stage of the water, con-
cluded he could cross with safety.
Having a two-horse team belonging
to NJ. c. Bee, he drove into the midst
of the breakers, and was at once
gathered up by the dashing waves,
and carried down the stream for some
distance. When the current carried
the wagon down the stream and Nc
Ginnis being man of muscle and
nerve, and possessing good supply
of presence of mind and not-afraid-
itiveness and Suitability, kept the
team with their heads up the stream
until they drifted to the other shore
and was driven out without losing
anything.-JVest Union Record.

Il Freight Train on the 3. g. 0. R. II.
Boarded by Tromps.

On Monday evening last as the
south bound freight train on the B.
& o. r. r. neared Edinburg, in
county, the conductor,
Capt. Powers, discovered two tramps
stealing a ride, and he ordered them
to get off. This they refused to do,
when the Captain summoned his
brakeman with view to putting them
off. About this time it was discov-
cred that there were three more be-
tween the cars, making five in ALL
They told Captain Powers that they
did not intend to get off, but proposed
to ride to Harrisonburg if the train
came. They drew razors, and gave
the conductor and his trainmcn to
understand that it would not be safe
to attempt to put them off. On ar
irving at Edinburg the Town Sergeant
was called upon, but lie could not in
timidate the TOURISTS and when
he made a demonstration as if to
draw pistol in order to enforce his
authority, one of the tramps got the
drop on him by getting his pistol out
first, and telling him he had better
not undertake that. Finally, after
quite a crowd had gathered, the
tramps were separated and one of
them taken by the officers, and a
while later a negro man knocked one
of them down with rock, and before
he could recover himself succeeded
in capturing him. Both of them were
put to Jail. The other three made
their escape as night was coming on,
and though we have heard it rumored
that they were subsequently captured,
the report has not been confirmed.
Since the above was put in type we
learn that four of the trsmps have
been arrested and locked up.

REMARKABLE.-Capt. Vernon Sim
mons, of Charlestown, w. Va, for
merly of this county, and well known
to many of our people, was recently
appointed by the Treasury Depart
ment as resident agent at one of the
Islands of Alaska. There is nothing
remarkable about the fact that the
Doctor received the appointment, as
he is a gentleman who is in every way
deserving and capable of filling any
responsible position, but what tickles
us, is the intelligence that such a
snug place, salary $1,000 and travel
ing expenses, should be declined by
any one. Several thousand Demo
Gratis in this county, like a nest of
robins, have their mouths wide open,
hoping that the crumb will fall to
their share. We hope the Department
will throw brick into our county,
and we guarantee it will strike a
mark.-Frederick Citizen.
