The Pennsylvania Railroads
Double Line to Atlantic City.

A SUPERB SUMNER SCHEDULE.
The coming summer promises to be
a most notable one for sea-shore
travel, Engagements already made
in advance for hotel accommodation
at Atlantic City and inquiries receiv.
ed indicate the widespread popularity
of this great resort.
Never before in the history OF the
City-by .the-Sea have the railroad
facilities been SO perfect as they will
be over the Pennsylvania sea shore
lines. Arrangements have been per.
fected by which this popular route
will consolidate its two railroads
(the West Jersey and Camden and
Atlantic) between Philadelphia and
Atlantic City, so as to be operated
on the plan of double track. This
mode of management will greatly
facilitate the handling of the enor-
nous passenger traffic, and will pre-
sent the safest and most novel system
of double lines in the country.
The schedule of trains will be
greatly improved over that of pre-
vious years, both in the number of
trains, their equipment, and speed.
A large number of trains will run on
time table best adjusted to the
needs of the public. They will be
equipped with comfortable and hand.
some new passenger coaches and
attractive parlor cars drawn by the
Pennsylvania Standard hard coal
burning locomotives. The majority
of the trains will make the run in
each direction in eighty minutes,
thus reducing the time of transit to
the minimum consistent with safety
and good management.

A letter has been received by n
H. Haines, Esq, Of this town from
Jasper Thomas. Alamosa, Colorado,
making inquiries relative to /. w,
Hill, Esq, formerly of Cecil Co., and
requesting other information in re.
gard to him. Mr.. Thomas is son
Of the late joe. r. Thomas, near
Woodlawn in this county. who is
well remembered by many of our
readers. Mr.. Thomas has lived in
, Alamoso, COL, for many years. Mr..
Hill died very suddenly on the 9Th
inst, at Alamcsa He was born and
grew to manhood in the vicinity of
Rock Springs, Cecil Co, Md. Mr..
Haines received an Alamosa paper
which gives lengthy account of the
death Of Mr.. Hill and speaks in the
highest terms of praise of his life
and work while citizen of that place.
The deceased was son of Isaac
Hill. the oldest son of the Hill fam.
lily of the 9th district. The Hills
are an old family of that part of
Cecil county. Washington Hill, who
died recently, was an uncle of Isaac
W. Hill, the subject of this notice
Mr.. Hill had weak lungs it appears
from the account of his death in Col.
orado papers. and was attacked in
the street by hemorrhage of the
lungs. The Independent Journal in
its accoun. says: Already he was
attacked by death. Every footstep
was marked by vomited blood."a
Pretty soon he staggered and fell on
the street while being helped to a
doctors office, and instantly expired.
Every one seems to be on the alert to
obtain some clue to the Richards trag
edy. Two suspicious looking characters
were seen about Stone Run last Sunday
and a self-appointed committee pro-
ceeded to investigate. The first was
observed driving past in a jaeger wagon
trying to escape notice but his wary &C.
tons and the fact that he had blanket
carefully over something in the wagon
excited suspicion until 1T was discover
ed he was coDcealing a harrow and as
none of the neighDors had missed such
an implement he was allowed to pro
coed. The other individual was noticed
shortly after and was on foot. He too
was trying to avoid as much observa-
ton as possible, but was hailed and
told to give an account of himself, also
to produce what he was hiding under
his coat. He reluctantly drew forth q
wheezy looking old fiddle and said he
was list fiddlin round btu With
out further parley he started on bee
line for the barrens thinking his safe
ty depended in getting over the line.

A shooting affair occurred near
town on Tuesday night, about 10
o'clock, that brought grief to a
young man whose prospects in life
were far above the average, at last
from a financial standpoint. The
victim was James M. Stout, son of
B. b. Stout, of Centre Branch. Who
it was that did the shocking deed
remains yet mystery. 1t was after
night and of course dark. This
much however is known: He receiv-
ed the entire charge from a heavily
loaded shot gun. 1t is said that he
was slightly intoxicated at the time
and was not far from the home Of
Mr.. Scott Nutter, where he now lies
under the care of Physician Peck, of
this city. He was struck by thirty
five or forty shot, that scattered
around over his body, several in the
region of the abdomen. The extent
of his injuries cannot now be specu-
lated upon with certainty, but he is
known to be rather seriously hurt
Clar6sburg Telegram. A telegram
from Clarksburg states that Stout
died on Friday and Noah Champ
was arrested and placed in Jail,
charged with the murder Mrs. Nut
ter and two daughters, with whom
Champ had been living, were arrest
ad as accessories. The Nutter fami-
ly have borne an unsavory reputa-
ton for years past.

Saturday at $40 A. NJ. Clerk Berry
at the Wallace House noticed smoke
issuing from the rear Of the hotel
building in which the dining room
is located and Immediately gave the
alarm. The hose companies were on
the ground in few minutes. A hole
was cut through the weatherboard-
ing and the fire located near the
kitchen chimney. 1t was not neces-
sary to use the fire department hose
as there was no blaze visible and the
smoldering fire was soon extinguish-
ed with the hydrant hose. The fire
originated from the overheated kitch-
en- chimney. Damage slight and
fully insured. Several of the lady
guests collected their property and
left the hotel but there was little or

Ex-senator Davis in Town.

Hon. Henry G. Davis, President of
the West Virginia Central d Pitts
burg Railroad Company, accompa-
MED by Mr. Keens, of ST. Louis,
director of the Central, pass
ed through the city last week
remaining over night at the Wallace
House and taking the steamer on
next morning for Pittsburg. Mr..
Davis is enthusiastic ON the subject
of West Virginia's railroad pros
poets and is exerting all his energies
to develop the immense wealth of
our State. No man in West Virginia
is doing more, and none so much,
unless it be Senator Camden. Davis
and Camden are the wheel horses in
the matter of developing West Vir-
ginia and they are making worlds of
wealth for the people of their State
as well as millions for themselves as
we hope and believe.
Mr.. Davis informed the New Do
MINIoN that the work on the West
Virginia Central is progressing sat
isfactorily and is rapidly nearing
completion. In the near future they
will connect at Beelington with the
Grafton & Greenbrier road which
connects with the Baltimore d Ohio
at Grafton. That the Baltimore a.
Ohio Company will then fill the mis-
sing link, from Morgantown to Union
town in Pennsylvania. This will
make continuous line of railroad
from Pittsburg southwark to the
coal and timber regions of the inter
Tor and southern portions of West
Virginia.
1t is surprising that this road has
not long since been completed. 1t
requires but half an eye to see the
immense benefits to be derived both
to Pittsburg and to West Virginia.
The raw materials of West Virginia
dumped into Pittsburg will add
millions to the material wealth of
that city and at the same time i'm
mense wealth will come to the peck
cts of West Virginians for their coal,
minerals and timber, that would 9th
erwise remain unsold and unproduc.
tive.

Upon the occasion of couple of
weeks vacation now being taken by
Rev. Mr.. Selby he leaving on Tues
day morning last), who, for the past
two years, has been pastor of the
Methodist Protestant church, and
unanimously called by his people tor
the third year, two very enjoyable
socials were extended to him on
Friday and Saturday evenings of
last week--Mr. Selby, himself, ming
ling freely with the corners and goers
on each evening, and being extra
socially inclined he spared no pains
to make each one feel perfectly at
home And all did, as the merry
laugh and good cheer upon every
hand plainly told The repast was
simply ice cream and cake (the best
of the season. and the good cheer
of the evening was interlarded with
vocal and instrumental music Mr..
Selby's position here is rather singu-
lar for Methodist preacher, being
amenable to two conferences, first, to
the one of which he is member 1.-THE
West Virginia), and, second, 1.-THE
Muskingum), by whose sufferance
and consent he is laboring within
its limits, and it is feared by his
people here that his conference will
not spare him for third year; at
all events, he can not accept of the
third year call without first consult
ing his own conference. Mr.. Selby,
though Young in the ministry, is
very popular as shepherd of his
flock, and his genial qualities make
him quite a favorite with our citizens
generally. He is an earnest laborer
in the vineyard, and, perhaps, does
more work out side his particular
church and denomination than any
one, if not all the other clergy in
in town put together. May he re.
turn and minister to us for another
year
