The following we copy from the
Statesman:
Mrs. Judge IIoge has arrived and
taken possession of the house form
erly occupied by Mr.. J. S. IIaldeman.
The Judge will be welcomed back to
Martinsburg, but his business in
Washington prevents his paying any
thing but flying visits.
Two prisoners escaped from Jail on
Monday night or at an early hour
Tuesday morning. They were the
tramp who broke into Mr.. Lambert
barber shop some time ago, and the
fellow who was arrested i'll Frederick
for burglarizing Mr.. j. n. Rentch's
house.
On last Saturday evening as Mr..
VIM. Blackwell was coming East with
the limited express, when about one
mile west of Alpine station his engine
struck a man who was carrying n
child and instantly killed them both.
1t seems that the man and woman
were walking on the South track and
as Mr.. Blackwell came around curve
at high rate of speed, a freight train
was approaching on the North track.
The attention of the unfortunate man
was attracted by the freight train and
he did not hear the express. although
Mr.. Blackwell made every effort by
whistling and trying to stop, to warn
him of his danger. The woman
stepped off the track just in time to
escape death. When the train ar
rived in Martinsburg the front of the
engine was despatched with the
blood and brains of the poor victims.

about $500. Mr.. j. A. Leach was the decor
ative artist. Jim knows just how to do good

complishes his object. We doubt if there is

scenes OF Royalty.

When our little town is invaded by such
an array of crowned heads as assembled at
Mrs. Amanda Andrews on the evening of
June 18th, it certainly seems that due men
ton should be made of so important an event;
and yet, by mistake, our last issue contained
no notice of it, and thus we desire to retrieve
our error at this, our earliest opportunity.
The Ladies' Reading Club having been
engaged during large part of the past year
in reading the Queens of England" deter
mined that their Royal Highnesses should
grace their annual feast; and, accordingly,
nearly score of the most celebrated were.
represented on this occasion. Miss Ocobock
as Queen Victoria, presided with her usual
grace, and introduced her royal guests with
much dignity, to the bewildered gentlemen,
most of whom received their first hint of
being presented at court, from the smiling
pages who ushered them in. After a very
original address of explanation, she then
conferred the degree of knights of the Gar
teri upon each of the "honorary members"
and though considerable trepidation was
manifested at the first sight of her uplifted
sword, still these brave Knights sustained
the trying ordeal courageously, and returned
the compliment of the fair ladies who be-
slowed the star and garter, by escorting them
to the banquet hall. The table with it's
tempting array of flowers and choice viands
extended around three sides of the large
dining room, so that the entire company were
well Accommodated; and after the inner man
had been refreshed, several toasts were pro-
posed by Matilda of Flanders, to which re-
sponses were made by Adelaide Louisa, Anne
of Warwick, lsabella-the child queen-Lady
Jane Grey, and Victoria. The response by
Anne of Warwick Miss Dillon was written
in the style of chronicles, and elected loud
and frequent applause. After adjourning to
the parlor, Caroline of Anspach was induced
to execute little jig in which her "ruff and
cuff and farthingale" were displayed to good
advantage. An "Impersonation" was also
read by Margaret of Anjou, and thus the
happy hours sped only too swiftly, and as the
time came for the dispersion of brave knight
and lady fair, we felt that the scene of this
one evening at least, gave the lie to the old
saying,-"Uneasy. lies the head that wears
crown"
