CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, October 10.
None Of the persons injured in the
collision Of the two passenger trains
on the Cumberland Valley Railroad
yesterday are seriously hurt. Con-
ductor Lewis is the only one of the
trainmen whose injuries are at all SER
ious, and his scalp wound may prove
dangerous. The passengers who were
hurt were all able to continue their
journey. The coroner of Cumber.
land county held an inquest upon the
body of the dead baggage master,
Charles Bitner, here to-day. The tes-
timony was rather conflicting, and no
verdict has yet been rendered. The
railroad company are making an in
vestigation of the mistaken orders,
but they refuse to give out any infor-
nation regarding it until after the in
quest. The fault is admitted to he
with those in charge of the train leav-
ing here at 9:15 a. IN. The body Of
Bitner will be buried here on Sunday.
The wrecked engines and cars have
been brought here, and the damage Is
found not to be as great as at first ex-
pected.

JONES SPRING.

Pride from bible stand point Is
to my. mind the greatest evil in the
world ; many claim that intemper
ance in the use of intoxicating drink
is from any stand point the greatest
evil of all other evils; if It is. then
prejudice certainly stands second
When prejudice exists in the mind OF
one person against another, both par
ties usually suffer to greater or less
degree. | will not attempt to give q
full definition of prejudice or try to
point out all its evil effects, but
would say that, when one is envious
against another, or has any hatred
toward another without cause, |
mean a real cause, not an imaginary
or frivolous cause, simply for an ex-
cuse to justify certain actions or as
sertions, is prejudice.
Prejudice is brought about in very
many ways, often many will become
prejudiced against another because
they are less favored by fortune, and
are not SO successful in business as
the other; many become prejudiced
against one because that one does his
duty many are made prejudiced by
what some one says about another :
this is being practiced on very large
scale at the present time. Things are
said about Gen. Golf, by some Of the
would-like-to-be leaders of the Demo
crat party, to try to prejudice the
minds of the people against him; such
expressions as worse skinned man
than Golf there never was, are intend
ed to prejudice the mind against him.
The few intelligent Democrats of
this section, who attended the debate
were disguised and ashamed of the
conduct of their party on that occas-
ion, while some who would like to be
thought intelligent made use of the
foregoing expression and approved of
the ungentlemanly conduct of the
lower class of their party by their
uncalled for hurras for Wilson, and
refused to listen to the facts uttered
by Golf. Prejudice caused them to
ignore the fact that it was a joint dis
cussion, and in order to be correct and
just discussion it was necessary to lis
ten to each one calmly and deliberate
ly, letting him sink or swim on his
own merits.
But | meant to say something
about Mr.. Joseph G.. Kitchen, the
Republican nominee for the Legisla-
ture; no body can truthfully say
aught against him. Prejudice will
cause some who desire his defeat to
say things about Mr.. Kitchen, that
are not true; his pursuits during the
past fifteen or twenty years are well
calculated to fit him for a representa-
tive. Mr.. Kitchen has been a great
benefit to many of the laboring men
of this community, by giving them
employment in farming, numbering
and the different kinds of machinery
which he has. wonder if all the men
to whom Mr.. Kitchen his given en-
plOyment, even when he knew the
business was not paying him but SIM
ply carried it on to give constant en-
ployment, will show their apprecia-
ton of his kindness, by voting for
him on the 9th of Nov. Mr.. Kitchen
has lent, and is lending, helping
hand to every good cause in this COM
munity.
Let us lay aside all prejudice,
friends, and support Jos. G. Kitchen,
who is not only not all for self but is
fully competent to represent the peo-
pie of this county. HUMANE.

WINCHESTER PRESBYTERY.-Th
Presbytery of Winchester met in
Romney, w. Va, Wednesday, Oct.
10th, at 1880 p. NJ, and was opened
with sermon by the Moderator, Rev.
e. l.. Wilson, of Gerardstown.
Rev. Il. P. Epes, Of Woodstock,
was chosen Moderator, and Rev. HI.
G. V. Campbell. of Berkeley Springs,
and Rev. G. Ghiselin, of Shepherds
town, Temporary Clerks.
For various reasons assigned by abb
sentees, the attendance at Presbytery
was not large, only II Ministers and
IA Ruling Elders were present.
No matters of special importance
cana before the body. The usual rou-
tine business of the fall meeting was
dispatched with promptness.
The death of two members since
the last meeting was reported, viz:
Rev. ID. III. Riddle, ID. D.. l.. l.. D.,
the late pastor of the Martinsburg
Church and Rev. Jno. S. Lafevre,
who for some years past has resided
near Charlestown in feeble health.
Suitable memorials of these deceased
ministers were prepared-ofthe form
er by Rev. DIR. Graham, and of the
latter by Rev. DIR. A. G.. Hopkins.
The reading of these memorials excit-
ed profound interest in the large au-
dience that was present.
Some discussions arose in reference
to the proposed endowment of Union
Theological Seminary; and also in
reference to the help asked for the
Theological School at Austin, Texas.
The next stated meeting of the
Presbytery will be held at Shepherds
town, Tuesday, April 9Th, 1889, at II
p. m.
Our young friend Chas. M. West
removed this week to Kabletown,
where he will sre-embark in the mer-
camille business. We understand that
one of his sisters will keep house for
him until somebody else's sister
takes the position.
We are glad that movement is be-
ing made to have our village incorpo-
rated. This is surely step in the
right direction and should have the
hearty support of all our citizens. Its
success will be to the advantage ofall,
in point of convenience, comfort,
safety, health, besides adding to the
value of property and desirability of
living here. Let us incorporate by
all means. -Gerdqdstoaua Times.

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this nervous trouble !" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted!
If you will remember a few years ago
the word Malaria was comparatively I'M
known, Ito dRy it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of anoth-
err word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is with nervous diseases, as
they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Bilious
ness, and all are caused by troubles that
arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing it functions
finding it cannot dispose of the bile
through the ordinary channel is compell-
ed to pass it off through the system,
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bill
ious Fever, etc. You who are suffering
can well appreciate cure. We recon-
mend Green's August Flower. Its cures
are marvellous.

THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.

The Office of Prosecuting Attorney
is very important one to the citi.
zens of Berkeley. 1t requires a man
Of years and experience, and thor.
ough acquaintance with the people
and the laws by which they are gov
erned. Mr.. Feidt is we'll known all
over the county. He has lived here
and practiced law at court for years.
He has seved term as prosecuting
attorney and given general satisfac-
ton. Terms of court were short and
business promptly disposed of. There
is no reason why he should not de-
serve reelection The cry about a
few indictments not sustained by q
new and inexperienced judge plainly
shows that if that is all charged
against him, his record is good enough.
He is an active, accommodating gen.
tleman, identified with the town and
county, and people can do no better
than to elect him again.

crop reports for West Virginia are
from the pamphlet of the Agricultur.
al Department for OCTOBER WHEAT.
WEST VIRGINIA .--WGriOn Too
much rain; badly spoiled in stack.
Ohio Did not yield so well as was
expected too much rain, the grain is
in bad condition. Summers. At least
Is or 80 per cent. of the crop has been
totally ruined by continuous wet
weather; some estimate so per cent;
the wheat in stacks has sprouted bad
ly. Brooke Almost failure, caused
by dry weather at seeding time; no
snow protection during the winter
and drought the past summer. Kama
,cIld I: Injured by rust and smut, and
badly blown down before harvesting.

Giimer: The crop was damaged to
some extent by wet weather while in
I the shock.
During the latter part ofSeptember
fine rains occurred, greatly benefiting
the pastures, which are looking fresh
and green, and also aiding in the pre-
paration of the land for wheat seeding
which is now at its height. Wheat
sown before the rain is up with good
stand and color, and looks well. The
first frost of the season occurred on
the Both of September, and resulted in
some injury to portion Of the tobac-
co crop. Thseshing Of the different
grain crops has been going steadily on

THE MERITS OF VEsTIBULED
TRAINs.-The chief merit claimed for
the Vestibule appliance is that it eff
fectually prevents telescoping of cars
in case of collision, and the second
great advantage lies in the fact that
the new device entirely overcomes the
swaying motion impaired to ordinary
trains when rounding curves at high
speed. The Limited Express running
via B. & o. r. r. between Philadel-
phia and Chicago. is composed entire
ly of Vestibuled Cars, the baggage
cars, day coaches, dining car and
Pullman SleeperS all being fitted with
Pullman's Patent Vestibules.
All cars in the train are heated by
steam drawn from the locomotive.
Porters are in attendance in the Day
Coaches, as well as in the Sleepers, to
look after the wants of passengers.
The entire train runs through without
change between Philadelphia and
Chicago via Washington and Balti-
more, and no extra fare is eXacted
from passengers holding tickets of
any class.
The B. & O. Vestibule Limited
leaves Martinsburg at ! 90 p. m. daily
for Chicago and at 3:l2 p. m. daily for
Washington, Baltimore and Philadel-
