eiai reconstruction will take.

AN active movement is on foot in Mexico to abolish the "Zona Libre," e it is called by the Mexicsns, or "Dead Line" as it is known to Amer jeans. This is a strip of country, sixty niles wide, extending along the north ern border of Mexico, the people liv- jag in which do not have to pay any customs duties and are the recipients of other benefits from their govern ment. In this Territory Americans are not allowed to own mines or any kind of real estate. The "Zona Libre" was created after the Mexican war as a barrier against further sggressions by the United States, but the fears of our neighbors on this point having been allayed, this "Dead Line" is now found to be . fruitful source of annoyance and vexation, and its abolition would be hailed with delight by the people living along the borders of both coun- tries.

PLACERvrILE, Cal, Oct. l6.-Wil- liam Drager and John Olsen were hanged here at : o'clock this morning for participation in the murder of John Lowell, in March, ISSS, for which crime J. \. Meyer suffered the death penalty last November. Lowell's body was found in an old cellar on his ranch, and the murderers were traced through some horses which they had stolen and taken to Sacramento to sell. They were all convicted over & year ago. but before his execution Meyers made an affidavit that he alone designed the murder and shot Lowell before the others were aware of his intentions. An appeal was taken in the case of Drager and Olsen, but judgment was affirmed. Great efforts were made to obtain executive elem ency, but the Governor refused to in- terfere. The men arose early this morning and walked to the gallOwe unassisted. Beth bore up bravely, though Olsen wss dreadfully pale. They made few remarks, thanking the officers of the jail and others for their kindness to them. The trap dropped ct [ .O5 and the men died without . struggle, their nscks both being broken by the fall.

We clip the following items OF news
from the latest Martinsburg papers;
From the Statesman.
The C. v. r. r. expect to erect a
handsome passenger depot soon at
the King Street crossing. A building
like the most of their passenger depot
buildings would be great improve
ment to that portion of our town.
The tremendous blasts discharged
in the deep cut just south OF town are
producing wonderful effect. Fresh
stones and earth can be found half a
mile from the works, and stones weigh
ing many tons are lifted from the site
of their formation and rolled some a
hundred yards from the road. a stone
measuring thirty feet in length, ten
feet in width and ten feet in height,
lies well over the bank, and another,
weighing over 500 pounds, was thrown
too near for comfort to the residence
of Mr.. Aaron Grim, a distance OF a
third of a mile.
From the Independent.
Deputy Sheriff James Smith lost his
valuable driving horse last Wednes-
day. On going TO the stable 1t was
found dead-had hung itself. The an
imal was valued at $500 and was very
pretty.
Two Irishmen were arrested last
Thursday night and put in the lock-
I'D. One of them built a fire in the
middle of the floor and laid down by
it. A hole was burned through the
floor large enough to put "a hat
through it.
From the Herald.
Mr.. Charles f. Roberts, son of j. +.
Roberts, Esq, of this place, and John
Schoppert, another young man from
here, have been working at Christie
Park, Pa, for some time. Their pa
rents were very much alarmed this
week to hear that ladder had given
away throwing them some thirty feet.
Young Roberts was severely cut and
bruised, but is hoped is not seriously
hurt. Mr.. Schoppert had an arm bro
ken and will probably have to be
brought home.

An Old Landmark Gone.

Mr. Joseph l.. Cookus has torn down
his old house ON Main Street prepar-
atory to building new dwelling.
This building is a very old one
doubtless one of the first built in this
section. Its exact age is not known,
but an old deed is still in existence
showing that the house changed
hands in 1862. 1t was built of logs,
and the timbers are still sound and
good. Several loopholes were found
in the walls, evidently for use in case
of trouble with the Indians. While
the house was being torn down a num-
Der of copies of the National Intelhgen-
Ger were found, dated in 1881 and 1882,
one of which contained Andrew Jack
sons message to the 22d Congress.
A small frame building belonging
to the Entler estate, next door, has
also been torn down.

a Grimsville, Pa, special to the
Philadelphia Record says: Mrs. Angus
tus Gehringer, of this place, "a few
days ago felt a tickling sensation in
her throat, followed by a sickening,
suffocating sensation. The woman
was almost strangled, and fell into
a dead faint. Upon recovering con-
seriousness she wrapped her apron
around her thumb and forefnger,
and. forcing these members into her
throat, felt something moving, which
she quickly grasped and pulled out.
To her horror, it proved to be a liv-
ing snake, Q inches in length. She
gain swooned.

Plenty of Summer Storms.

Last Friday evening was peculiar
ly stormy one, not only in this section,
but throughout the middle States gen
orally. In Shepherdstown the first
storm was like cyclone, and the dust
was so thick that objects Il hundred
yards away could not be discerned.
Later in the eveninga hail storm came
along, and some very large hailstones
fell. Fortunately they were so few as
to cause little damage to crops or
fruit. No losses were caused in this
vicinity, but at Charlestown the frame
Geo. Campbell & Co., now in progress
of erection, was blown down and con-
siderable damage done. One Of the
carpenters, Daniel Heidwohl, who
was on the top of the structure when
it fell, was badly bruised about the
body and cut on the head, but not
fatally injured. About fifty feet of
the false work on the iron bridge be-
ing built across the Potomac at Point
of Rocks was swept away, and the
sixth iron span of the structure was
moved out of plumb several feet by
the storm. Twenty-Five workingmen
on the scaffold had narrow escape.
Some were struck by falling tinbers,
but were not hurt Two men were
swept into the river, but were rescued.
Several other gentlemen who were
under the structure had narrow es-
cape. On Monday and Tuesday a
number of thunder storms passed
over, and the ground has beenthor
oughly wet.
