SANITARY HEATERS.

We are gratified to see that number
of very handsome residences are being
built in various portions of our town !;
and that there is manifested strong
sentiment towards having the buildings
fitted up with appliances calculated to
promote comfort and convience in every
respect. Particularly is this true with
regard to apparatus for heating pur
poses, and there are few things apper-
tanning to dwellings or houses of any
kind more important. The greatest
trouble seems to be to make choice
out of so many-of the best. Our at
tention has been drawn recently, to a
heating apparatus which seems to fill
the bill completely, and one which is
guaranteed in every respect to give full
and entire satisfaction. We refer to the
Sanitary Heater manufactured by Alva
Hubbard & Co., of Baltimore, Nd, A
number of these Heaters have been sup
piled to citizens of our town, and in no
case have we heard of any complaint !;
on the contrary all who have them
speak in the highest praise of their good
qualities, perfect construction and salts
factory work. We happened few days
ago to see one of these Sanitary Heaters
at the residence of Hon. E. Boyd Faulk-
ner, and were struck with the apparent
adaptability to well and thoroughly heat
the house from top to bottom. The
Heater at Mr.. Faulkner's is No. s, and
is set or enclosed in brick, it is supplied
with steel dome, patent lever shaking
CRATE, automatic water feeder, cold air
and hot air pipes, and has every guard
necessary to prevent any annoyance
from gas or dust The $ Sanitary y il
strictly hot air heater, and gives the
same quality of warmth as steam al
about one-fourth the cost. The Heater
is placed in the cellar, and by means oil
pipes and registers every room and hal
in the dwelling may be comfortably
heated. Those who have used the
Heaters speak in the highest terms Of
them, from standpoint both of econ
omy and comfort, and any one who may
desire more information on the subjec
can secure the same by addressing Alys

DEATH OF Mr.. EICHELBERGER.--
The many friends of D. S. Eichelber-
ger, Esq, were panied to hear of his
death, at his home in this place, Sum
day afternoon. Since his retirement
from the management of the States
man, about three yearsago his health
has been falling, and he was seldom
seen away from home. Mr.. Eichel-
berger was a native Virginian, and
engaged in newspaper work the
greater part of his life. Before the
war he established the Independent
Democrat at Charlestown. He served
in the Confederate army, and was a
prisoner eighteen months at Camp
Chase, Ohio. After the war he re-
moved to Berkeley County, and in
1869 established the Valley Star
which later became the Statesman
This paper he conducted for thirteen
years, disposing of it to the present
proprietor, w. B. Colston, Esq, in
1884, and retiring from active bust
ness life. Mr.. Eichelberger was a
good-hearted man, and as a friend
and brother journalist we can speak
of him only in the kindest terms. He
was strong in his political views, and
in many respects an able and point
ed writer in political matters The
Democratic party here had a strong
and fearless advocate in him. AS a
citizen he always labored for the best
interests of the town and county.
Now he has retired from all his
labors, and we hope is enjoying that
eternal rest which is promised to
every weary mortal traveller. His
funeral services were held in Trinity
Episcopal Church, Tuesday, and his
remains inferred in Norborne Gene
terry. He leaves wife and six chill
dren to mourn the loss of an indul-
gent parent.

FOR THE HERALD.


FROM HEDGESvILLE.-T DEM
ocrats held their primary in Masonic
Hall Saturday evening, and elected
delegates to the several conventions.
We noticed good deal of hand-shak-
ing, and judge some Legislative as
pirants were about. Several promi-
nent politicians who figured as lead
ing men two years ago, were conspic-
uously absent on this occasion. Alas
how sad it is to be disappointed in n
little post-office matter.
The road from Hedgesville to North
Mountain is in very bad condition
and should be repaired, as 1t is much
travelled. The road from Hedgesville
to Back Creek on the contrary is in
good order, but the driftwood that has
collected near the bridge endangers
the safety of that structure in case of
high water, and should be removed.

PROPOSED RAILROAD EXTENSION.
A rumor comes to us from Martins
burg of proposed extension of the
Cumberland Valley Railroad to Win
chester, or properly speaking of the
Martinsburg and Potomac road, which
is leased and operated by the Cum
berland Valley. 1t is said officers
have viewed the ground recently, and
that the matter will soon assume def
mite shape. The fact that it was
originally intended to carry the Mar
tinsburg and Potomac road through to
Winchester, coupled with the addi-
tional well-known fact that the Cum
berland Valley has had its weather
eyen upon Winchester for several
years, gives credence to the rumor as
detailed above.-HdgerStoacR Neacs.
Referring to the above article this
afternoon n prominent railroad Of
fetal stated to Register representa-
tive that the Cumberland Valley rail
road intends pushing theirline through
to Winchester as early as possible,
but matters had not yet formed such
shape as to allow him to give any
particulars in regard to the matter

years.
George B. Dieffenderfer was born in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, August Is,
1895. When he was six years old his
father moved to Berkeley county, Va,
where he remained for twenty-five
years; the remainder of his long and
useful life was passed in Winchester,
| Virginia, where he followed the occu-
patton of carpentering, and served
occasionally as member of the town
council, till 1861, when the great civil
war rent our Nation. March 18th,
| 1862, at the evacuation of Winchester
| by Gen. Stonewall Jackson, with a
number of other Union citizens he was
taken prisoner and held for six weeks,

army, sent flag of truce demanding
/ their release. After that he sought
refuge in Maryland, but just before
the destruction of Chambersburg he
passed over into Pennsylvania.
After the surrender of Gen. Robt.
E. Lee he returned to Winchester,

reigned supreme, but by his strict en-
forcement of the penalties of the law,
regardless of personal or political dis
tinctions, he brought order out of cha
os, SO that meeting for public worship
could be conducted in peace, and law
abiding citizens were no longer in
danger of their lives.
Strictly temperate all his life, he
even refused stimulants when almost
in the throes of death. He was also
noted for his honor, integrity, and the
decided manner in which he expressed
and maintained his opinion.
He was twice married, and leaves a
family of eleven children, four sons
and seven daughters. G.. William
Dieffenderfer, of Clarke county, is his
eldest son; James P. and RObt. E..
