ON the platform the President and

selves side By side and to the right
of them the Justices Of the supreme
Court ranged themselves just as il
they were holding court. The fol-
lowed Gen. IIarrison's address. lie
appeared to be rather nervous at first
and spoke so low that only those very

10 recover ia a few moments and fin
ished his speech in better style. Ii
was just such am address as might
have been expected from Gen. Ilarri-

is hardly fair to say more about it un-
til it has been carefully read and di-
gestcd.
Chief Justice Fuller then arose and
walking towards Gen. Harrison eX-
tended a bible while he administered
the oath in a clear, strong voice. At
its conclusion Gen. Harrison raised
the bible to his lips which was the
signal for the firing of salute by a
battery of artillery to let those know
that did not see that it was now Pres
ident Harrison and ex-President
Cleveland.
The Presidential party re-entered
their carriages, and the gallant las
who are now anxious to serve THEN
country again, (this time for good, fat
salaries) got into line and the great
procession started up the avenue. The
carriage Of the President and Presi.
dent-elect left the line at the White
House grounds and soon appeared OF
the reviewing stand in front of the
Mansion, whence they reviewed tn,
entire procession.

4 Marrow Escape.

Mr. J. C. Mcknight, son of John
Mcknight, Esq, was saved from
frishtful death last Friday, by a small
block of Jno. Browns scaffold. He
was working at the large planer in
his fathers factory when his coat was
caught in the revolving cog wheels,
which would have pulled his body to
the sharp blades of the planer almost
instantly had not a small block OF
wood. from John Browns scaffold,
which he always carried in his pocket,
caught between the cogs and thus
stopped the mighty machine long
enough for an assistant workman who
was standing near to throw off the
belt. But for this little block OF wood
and timely relief Mr.. Mcknight would
have been cut into shreds by the rap
idly revolving steel blades.-Charies-

Paw Your Taxes. if Yoa Want to Vote.

Bv an amendment to the charter of
the corporation of Shepherdstown re-
Gently adopted, no one will be allowed
to vote at corporation election who
has not paid his capitation tax by the
1st of March preceding said election.
Heretofore the law has been that all
taxes should be paid on or before the
dav of election. Now it is only re-
auired that the capitation tax be
paid, but it must be done by the list
of March. The intent Of the new law
is to prevent the buying of votes by
the payment of taxes on election day.
Our people will do well to keep this
matter in mind and pay their seventy
cents head in good time

The Concerts.
The concerts held in College Hall
on Friday and Saturday evenings OF
last week were very successful Id
adding a snug sum to the town hall
fund and in entertaining the public.
On Friday evening Miss Belle Win
tiers, of Harper's Ferry, and Mrs. j. c.
Tabler, of DufIields, assisted in the
programme. Miss Winters, who is a
highly cultivated musician, sang sew
eral solos, which were greatly enjoyed
by those of the audience who knew
and could appreciate really good
music. Miss Rose Cunningham, OF
Martinsburg, whistled both evenings
and brought down the house by her
skillful and melodious warbling; she
was encored most heartily. MIR.
Clarence Darby played piano ac-
compartment for Miss Cunningham.
Prof. j. S. Renner was present at
both concerts, and rendered a num-
Der of humorous selections with the
assistance Of Misses Rose and Jennie

lections in delightful style. The vo-
calists from town were Misses Sallie

selves most creditably. The instru-
mental music ON the piano was fur
nished by Misses Margie Boteler
Brownie Wysong, Sallie Wysong,
Carrie Fordyce, Nettie Eichelberger,
Minnie Reinhart, Agnes Beltzooover
and Mary Myers-pupils of Miss Ella
