An ATTEMPT at Incendidrism.

At late hour last Saturday night
some unknown party tried TO set fire
to the three-story brick building OPP
posite the Baltimore & Ohio depot,
occupied by Mr.. A. Thompson as a
boarding house. The house has a
shed kitchen in the rear and the yard
is divided by fence. This fence and
the kitchen were saturated with oil
and set on fire. The blaze was seen
by several railroad men who put out
the fire without turning in an alarm.
This is the second attempt in a short
time to burn valuable property and
every effort should be made to dis
cover the guilty parties and give them
the extreme penalty of the law.-Aar-

Frank May, working at a saw-mill
near Port Republic, Va, was on Satur-
day caught by the saw, which cut off
his left leg at the thigh, entered his
side and cut his bowels, liver and
lungs and forced the heart from the
left to the right side, He lived four
teen hours and suffered intense thirst.
The water he drank flowed out at the
wound in his side. He was conscious
until death. The doctors consider it
most remarkable that death did not
occur Immediately.

Mr.. Joseph A. Winters, residing at
Beaver Creek, this county, died on
Saturday under singular circumstan-
ces. On last Monday, while engaged
in blowing one of his fields, he exper
fenced a severe pain in his neck,
which he attributed to the sting of an
insect of some kind. He continued at
work up to Wednesday noon, when
he was forced to quit on account of
his neck, which had become terribly
swollen and caused him great pain
He grew rapidly worse until Satur-
day, when death relieved him from
further suffering. He was aged about
forty years and leaves wife and two
small children.-Hagerstopn Globe.

Jones, p. C. T.; and Geo. H. Rams
burg, l.. d.
A press excursion, composed of
newspaper men from Baltimore, Phil
adelphia and Washington, passed
through Shepherdstown last Monday
over the Shenandoah Valley Railroad
bound for the Luray caves and other
points of interest in Virginia. The
excursion was given by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company. There
were one hundred and seventy-nine
newspaper men, their wives, sisters
and sweethearts aboard. There was
a brilliant illumination and fireworks.
and a hop was given al the Luray Inn
Monday night.
Those persons who attended the
performance at Hagerstown last Mon
day evening were not altogether over
whelmed at the accommodations fur
nished by the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad. Going TO Hagerstown it
was all right, three coaches being pro-
vided for the passengers. Coming
back, however, all the passengers
were crowded into one car, hitched on
to the rear end of long freight train,
and ''whirled" homeward at the rate
of about eight miles an hour. Many
persons had to stand up the whole
time. And yet the railroad people
grumble and say their excursion trains
are not well patronized. Officials who
run trains in this style are not likely
to be popular.

A Pirate Treasure.

Providence, r. l., Nov. flames
NJ. Eddy, who has been digging for
Capt. Kidd's treasure, and who turn
ed up an iron kettle full of Spanish
silver coins on the beach adjoining
his farm, opposite the summer resort,
Westport, arrived at his home in
Johnston yesterday with his wealth
lie denies that his grandfather ever
had anything to do with pirates, or
that his father ever told him of the
buried treasure. He said that two
years ago he became the possessor of
q piece of parchment that apparently
had served as drumhead, and which
had been converted into chart pur-
porting to describe the location OF
three lots of buried gold, silver and
other valuables, buried by a pirate
many years ago. The lines were
drawn as though with a sharpened
stick. On the chart were three points
designating the burial places of the
wealth. The starting place was a
rock on Horse Neck Point, a wild
piece of land. When this parchment
was found, Eddy was confident ii
was valuable document. He deter
mined that no one should know of his
plans, without imparting a hint OF
what he was about, he began opera
lions at the place indicated. He
readily found the rock, but his labors
during the summer of 1887 were not
rewarded. During the past summer
he continued his labors. He proceed.
ed cautiously and patiently, and
worked his way in the course direct
ed, and last Monday made the dis
covery. lie declares it will be all
easy matter to find the balance of the
wealth. One ofthe two undiscovered
treasures is said in the chart to be
gold coin, and the other diamonds OF
jewelry. The unearthed treasure
Mr.. Eddy says, will stay where 1t /;
until he gets ready to secure it. Th'
dates on the silver range from ISL
to 1851, showing that it is not a par
OF Capt. Kids long sought treasure
Mr.. Eddy will not tell his theory, bu
says it is pirate Treasure.

The Way to Advertise.

People who think that an adver-
tisment of three months standing is
going to make them rich make mis-
take. Advertising is like eating. ii
you want to be healthy you eat regu-
iarly, as meat to-day will not serve
YOU for tomorrow. To be well and
hearty, eat at every meal to be pros
porous in business, advertise regular
~. Stop the one, and you starve
and die /; stop the other, and your
business takes consumption and dies
also. Spasmodic advertising is like
having "fesst anu famine"-mort
famine than feast, as a rule-and Ii
never satisfactory. To take out youI
card in dull times is like killing YOU
horse because he is a little lame. /
is is in dull times the most adyertis
ing should be done, and it is in dul
times that advertising is most ellectiv,
as more notice is taken of printer
ink then than at any other time

An Earthquake.


(Clarksvllle Tobacco Leat)
Many persons throughout the city
felt perceptibly the shock of an earth
quake about 4 o'clock Saturday morn
ing. The shock or shocks lasted sew
eral seconds, long enough IN fact for
those first Weakened by its vibration
and noise to waken Others, who felt
it also. One gentlemen, whose sleep
ing room is over his dining room,
was first awakened by the motion Of
his bed. This was followed by the
rattle of the china in the room below,
and his impression was that there
were robbers in the house until his
wife called to him from an adjoining
room, saying il was an earthquake
Another aroused from slumber
thought it some one knocking on his
front door, while one gentleman says
the swaying of his entire house was
perceptible. No one seemed able tC
locate the direction of the earthquake
