He Took Possession of the Tram.

The Hagerstown (Md.) Necs of yester-
dav states that an exciting scene took
place on an excursion train on tho Shen-
andoah Valley Railroad on Saturday last
An excursion had been run from points
along that road to Penmar, the excursion
lsts numbering nearly two hundred. Upon
tbe return from Penmar in the evening
the transfer was made from the Western
MARYLAND Railroad to the Shenandoah
Valley, Capt. Frank =. Cord, Of the latter
road. taking charge Of the train. After
leaving the station at fIagerstown, and
when about two and a-half miles ont, and
while Capt. Cord was engaged in taking
IN tickets in the rear cars of the train. he
was startled by the shrieks of women and
men, followed Immediately afterwards by
the stoppage Of the train. Capt. Cord
started forward for the purpose Of investi'
eating the trouble, when he was met by
his engineer, who informed him that
man-since ascertained to have been Hen
~ Martin, Of Bentonvlle. Yirgnia-fren-
zied with drink, had, with revolver in
hand, taken charge of the engine and
driven the men from their posts, under
penalty Of death, if they did not vacate.
Captain Cord, being unarmed, secured
large stone and went to the engine. lie
found Martin on the tender, who, upon
being ordered down, Immediately dis
charged the revolver at Capt. Cord, the
ball grazing the captains face. The latter
let fly the stone he had in hand, and 1t
struck Martin squarely on the side Of the
head, cutting it open and laying him out
upon the ground az if dead. lie immedi-
ately recovered, however, and made his
escape by running, firing one shot how
ever. after he was some distance off. Pre-
vious to taking possession of the engine
Martin, it seems. had some difficulty with
several companions In one Of the cars,
when he drew the revolver and caused tho
commotion among the passengers as stated
above. All who witnessed the affair con-
cede that Capt. Cord made a narrow
escape. A warrant has boen issued for
Martins arrest.

done for their speedy restoration TO health.
All surgical operations will be charged fer
at minimum prices, but which, OF course,
will bear relation TO the gravity of the
case. accommodation will receive
prompt attention.
