About one o'clock last Saturday morn
ing fire was discovered in the rear Of
J. 5. Fries d Son Is notion store on Picca-
dily street, in Winchester. Before the
hre company could reach the scene the
stable on the property of the Misses Will
Jams was also in a blaze. The engines
had scarcely began to play on the fire
when smoke was seen issuing from Kern
g. Bars building. The companies soon
put the fire at the stable out and turned
their energies towards the other buildings.
1t was nearly four o'clock when the fire
was gotten under control. As the COM
panies were returning to their several en-
CINE houses another alarm was sounded.
This time stable was enveloped in
flames on the Chase property, but the
6remen by immediate action prevented 1t
from spreading. A valuable young horse
belonging 10 Richard Parker WAS consum-
ed in this fire. The stores burned belonged
to Mr.. f. KoblEousen, and his los Is
$500 aboye insurance. Kern, Barr u
Co., grocers and wooden manufacturers,
loss Will reach $500. The other losses
consisted of two dwellings and several
stocks Of merchandise. The entire loss
is estimated at $4,000. The fire is Ger
tainly the work of incendiaries. and the
general belief is that there is gang OF
fire bugs working in Winchester. a fact
which substantiates this theory is that
pile Of dry material was found IN the rear
Of the b. & o. Express office. 1t had
been lit but did not burn. On Wednes-
day night previous a stable on Braddock
street was set on fire, but fortunately was
extinguished before it had gained any
Roadway. A Young man named Matthew
Sears was caught running frsm the stable
He was tried before justice charged with
attempting to fire the building and sent on
to await the action Of the grand jury but
was afterwards bailed out. At another
stable preparation had been made to set
il on Are but as it was he was caught before
be could finish his dastnrdly work. We
earnestly hope the Winchester authorities
will succeed in bringing the incendiary
or incendiaTies TO Justice.

Our exchanges inform us that several
swindlers have been imposing on people
in different sections. One swindler has
been visiting country homes in Berkeley
county wv. Va. and deceiving aged and
unprotected ladies-representing that he
had been sent by their respective family
physicians to perform operations upon
their eyes or otherwise practice or give
advice. After going through some pre-
tended operations, or giving advice, he
would exact enormous charges and If not
paid would compromise at smaller sums
In one case he took the gold trimmed eye
glasses of lady saying they were worth
less and substituted cheap glasses with
frames of baser metal. In one place he
gave his name as Doctor Henry and at
another Doctor Miller. Another impostor
has been working the southern portion oil
the State. He says bis name s"Charles
Netterville Blake X. c. b., Earl of Net
tervlle," and an EnglIshnan. de IS
beardless, and Is less than twsnty-one
years Of age. His racket is o secure moLey
I'm small amounts by numerous swindling
operations. Our people should look out
for the doctor" or the earl" for they
are liable to turn up In our midst.

We notice the smiling countenance Of
Miss vickie Boehm again upon our streets
after quite a sojourn with friends in the
city of Washington. Yickie is one Of our
very best grls, but she has left another
leap year pass Look out
The public school will give an enter
tainment in the school building in this
place next Thursday night, March 27th.
The proceeds will be utilized in the i'm
provement Of the school building. IL IL
hoped the entertainment will be well
patronized that money may be raised to
make the desired improvement in the
building.
II. +. 30, CT will merely call the atten-
| ton Of his many kind customeis 20 the
fact which they naturally know, that in
buying for cash and in very large quanti-
ties and for two stores, necessarily must
get way down prices.
Among the visitors to the Eureka Of
last week we noticed our young friend, f..
ID. Spiker, Of the b. q o. Railroad. Ed,
we think, will soon take unto himself a
life partner, who will share with him all
pleasures aud woes, the latter we hope
but few, whilst the former may be many
and lasting, AS We think Emma one Of the
most deserving Of young ladies.
Study self.interest. II. T.. Boyer is now
on bis way to Baltimore ard New York,
and in conjunction with Boyer, Bros. X
Co., Maurertown, Va, propose to show
the public IN general one Of the finest,
cheapest and best selected lines Of spring
goods ever brought to either place.
Rev. Byrd, an impressive young minis
ter, has been sent hero 10 sery6 the United
Brethren congregation in the different
charghes on this circuit. lie preached his
first sermon here on last Sunday night to
quite a good audience and his sermon and
salutatory made quite an impression upon
the people. We overheard Phil say to
HE young lady that he liked his remarks
Of "being here to help Us ont OF our
troubles" and he hopes he may succeed
IN his case.
Remember, II. +. Boyer will have no
auction for two reasons. First, he allows
but little shelf worn goods to accumulate
Second when he finds such it Is put on
a shelf to itself and priced down to his
regular customers, thereby keeping a
clean stock at all times.

A murderOus assault Was made at the
Virginia Midland Junction Friday night
Of last week on Robert Eskew by Chas.
Drumwright. The men were employees
Of the Virginia Midland company and
they had been friends up to yesterday
afternoon, when both being under the
influence Of liquor they quarrelled at the
round-house and a fight ensued, in which
Eskew succeeded in knocking Drum
wright down and eating him quite
severely. They afterwards made up and
shook hands, and their friends thought
that all unpleasantness was at an end
Drumwngbt, however. seems to have
cherished soma malice, and at night, while
Eskew was walking along the platform at
the depot, Drumwright walked up be-
hind him and, throwing his arm around
his neck, struck him several times with a
large iron washer over the head. Drum.
wright made his escape and is still at
large.
