Enterprise on Main Street.

G. A. Gladke last week put up the
Lamsons Cash r. r. System in his
Grand Triple Store Four stations are
now in full operation. This is the only
full set in Staunton This old and far
famed business house has SO largely in
creased in its business. that it has been
found necessary to resort to "handy''
way of handling the cash. This house
will also shortly open the next door, in
the store occupied by Henry l.. Lang,
one of the handsomest milinary houses
in the State. This grand triple store
will take in 8, 10, and - main street, and
in all, this will be one of the largest in
this State, all under the management
and ownership of one head, G. A. Gladke.
This is a big enterprise and it shows
the spring trade is in full operation, We
are satisfied that Gladke will not allow
any concern, at home or abroad to I'M
dersell him. This house has no accumu-
lation of old goods, having adopted the
system of selling off at auction every six
months, so when you walk into Gladke'S
establishment, you are always sure of
finding fresh, new and desirable goods
Go and see the Cash rail road, it works
as follows
First station, from the domestic de-
partment.
Second station, from Lang's jewelry
store, which will be opened by Mrs.
Gladke as her millinery department.
Third station, dress goods department.
Fourth station, hosiery and fancy
goods department.
1t is a pleasure to go into Gladke's
establishment on a fine day, and see the
crowds thar gather there purchasing
handsome goods, and every one seems
to be very much pleased or there would
not be so many people buying. Give
Gladke a call and see for yourself

Suits Instituted.

J. NJ. Carter and wife have filed bill
to set aside the will of Jno. Geary, ESQ.,,
who died some three months since. In
the will Mr.. Geary left the bulk of his
estate, valued at $50, 600, to the Rt. Rev.
John Keane, Bishop of Richmond, for
the use and benefit of the Catholic
church. Mr.. and Mrs. Carter allege that
Mr.. Geary was old, being over so, and
was diseased in body and mind. That
they took care of him for years, and it
was always understood that they were
to be the benefeiaries under his will.
They state it as a fact that it was not
known that Mr.. Geary was in any way
connected with the Catholic church, and
he had never been heard to express any
preference for that faith. Counsel,

Reported Tor Uno v IRGINiAN.
A sad occurrence took place on the 18th
inst. Henry H. Stricken, son of Mr..
Jacob Stricken, living on the farm of J.
S. Garrison, was found dead III field
belonging to A. j. Miller. He had been
seen by some persons in pursuit of a
rabbit in the morning, and not return
ing at dinner time, his father went in
search, when he was found dead and
quite stiff. The deceased was IS years,
5 months and 10 days old. DR.. Dunlap
was sent for and the body examined, but
no marks of violence were found, and
the supposition is that the deceased had
over-exerted himself in quest of the
rabbit and had caused an inward hem
orrhage of the left lung. Funeral ser
vices were conducted by the Rev. Mr..
Speigle at the house, and the remains
were taken to Newport for interment.
The occasion was the saddest that has
happened in this community for years.
His father and sister swooned away sew
eral times, and it was with difficulty
that they were restored to consciousness.
The family have the sympathy of the
neighborhood.

The Clever Dodge of Smucclers tn Bring
Opium Ashore.
Customs Searcher T. J. Ausnder was
stationed on the Pacific Mail Dock on
Thursday night to watch the stern of the
steamer China. He was instructed to keep
ewes and ears and nose well on the alert
for since the discovery of the sixty tins of
opium in the butchers room of the steamer,
Deputy Surveyor Gaskill has been con-
WINGED that more of the seductive drug is
on board and that the owners thereof were
only waiting for a sleepy moment on the
part of the watchers to bring it ashore.
Customs Searcher Ausinder lit his pipe
and strOlled up and down the dock until
midnight 1t was soft, beautiful night,
with just the modest beginning of moon
half dlspeling the gloom. On such night
as this the customs searcher could not De-
lieve any one wicked enough to break the
law. The walk up and down the dock grew
mOnotOnOus and Ausinder leaned against
the shadowy side of a pile, allowing his
eyes to wander over the placid bay ana MS
mind to dream Of the daTk-eyed girl whose
mellitluouS tones had said such sweet
things to Kim the night before.
His revere WAS Interrupted by the SOUND
of Il slight splash in the water, just at the
stern Of the vessel. The professional IN
stincts of the searcher were at once
aroused He sprang to the edge of the
wharf and looked over. A strange monster
lay on tie surface of the water. its ugly
sides glistened under the pale rays of the
moon, A thought Of the sea serpent came
into his mind, when, on bending over
little further, lie saw, TO his dlsmay, that
the strange thing had the figure OF man,
but bloated as though long drowned and
risen TO the surface filled with the gases
generated by decay.
The starcher shouted Man overheard"
and leaned still farther over the dock to
obtain clearer view. To his amazement
the body moved, gave twist, turned round
and glded under the dock out of sight.
Ausinder stood looking blankly at the
place where the object had disappeared
until his eye caught sight of rope hanging
from port-hOle in the stern of the steamer,
to the end of which rope was tied a bundle.
Then AusiGder understood the situation.
The bundle must be bundle Of opium and
the strange moving object man in Paul
Boynton suit, who had come out from under
the dock for the contraband goods. Only
for the waning splash he would have sue
ceeded.
Ausiuder shouted for the small boat that
always lies on the further side of
watched steamer 1t came quickly round
the sde-a customs officer at the. oars.
Ausnder jumped in and the two made a
search under the dock for the man in the
Paul Boyton suit, but he could not be
found. Then they went back and seized
the bundle at the end of the rope. 1t con-
tanned 100 fye-tael boxes Of prepared
npium
