A Good Thing.-By letter re-
ceived from friend at Kearneysville
we learn that Capt. Josh Hamill of that
place gave thorough trial of his patent
car.replacer at Martinsburg last Monday
in the presence of number Of old and
experienced railroad officials. 1t acted
like charm and did everything that
was claimed for it. Cars were derailed
in every way, but the replacer put them
on the track again with ease. Captain
Hamill intends to introduce it on other
roads, and feels that there can be no
question of its success. The car-re-
placer only weighs ~ pounds, and is
the easiest and strongest yet invented,
being easily carried and handled OH any
train. We hope the captain will soon
reap the reward Of his inventive genius.

Was He Murdered :--The train on
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad which
left Hagerstown last Friday evening
ran over the body of man lying on the
track at point about five miles north
of Luray. The Iemaius, which were in
a shocking condition, were picked up in
pieces, being scattered in all directions.
Papers found in the mans coat pocket
showed that his name was Alfred Price,
of Carrot, Pa. and that he had been
working in the mines in Virginia.
From circumstances surrounding the
affair it is the opinion of the railroad
men and those residing in the vicinity
that the man had been murdered, and
his remains placed upon the track to
conceal the crime.
