DEATH or MRS. FAULKNER.

Before the home people of Mrs. G. ].
Faulkner could realize that she was
dangerously i'll, comes the sad news Of
her death, at their Washington resi-
dence, 2I7 East Capitol Street, Tuesday
afternoon at o'clock She died Of
catarrh Of the stomach, after all illness
often days Sunday and Monday her
condition became serious and friends
were telegraphed for, Hon T. Boyd
Faulkner, Dr. ] w McSherry and
Mrs. McSherry going down at once.
DR.. McSherry, with Drs. Young and
Bane, of Washington, exhausted every
known remedy of relief but without
avail, and surrounded by her family
and friends she resigned her spirit into
the hands of the great Creator.
AT home here Mrs. Faulkner was
well known for her care and energy in
the family, in church and society, and
whatever was of interest to her friends
and people. As the mother of a grow
ing family she took pride and pleasure
in everything pertaining to their vel
fare and their loss is great indeed.
In the social life into which the position
of her husband called her, she was an
ornament, we'll fitted by birth and edu-
cation, and had drawn an influential
circle of friends around the family and
home Mrs Faulkner's maiden name
was Miss Sallie Vim, of we'll known
Virginia family, and she was married to
Mr.. c. ]. Faulkner at Charlottesville in
1868.
Their married life has been spent
here in Martinsburg, where they had a
fine home, surrounded by all the COM
forts and social attractions that could be
desired During the sessions of Con-
gress the family took up their residence
in Washington, where her charming
manners and high social qualifications
won her many warm friends.
The remains of Mrs Faulkner will
be brought here Friday, and the funeral
services will be held at I: 80 p. IN. i'll the
Presbyterian Church, of which she was
member and the sermon will be
preached by her pastor, Rev. z. NJ.

o. depot to the Presbyterian Church,

lnterment will be made in Norborne
Cemetery. The pall-bearers will be

YOUNG MAN STAY HERE.

The last enigrant train for the West
left Hagerstown this week, carrying
only few passengers. Emigration
is now turning southwark and even
turning back from the West Many
parts of the West are settled with peo-
pie from this section, from the Cumber-
land Valley and from Adams, York,
and Lancaster counties, Pa. For cen-
fury the tide of travel by foot, by
wagon trains, by water and rail, has
been over the Blue Ridge, over the
Ohio, the Mississippi and over the
Rockies Many made fortunes in the
West, and many but a poor living re-
turning eventually Eastward again.
But with the close of this century a
great industrial change Of centre is go
ing on. Capital and enterprise are
building upon the vast undeveloped re-
sources of Md, Va, w Va. and the
South. The unframed lands are being
cultivated, the forests cleared, the
minerals and raw materials worked in
to manufactured goods and articles.
This is bringing capital into these
Southern States, emigration accom-
panies enterprise and industry, towns
and cities grow up, the eyes Of the I'M
settled world of money and labor are
turning towards these new channels
which are experiencing an era OF pro-
erosion that will rival the North end
West and become the centre of COM
merce and manufacture. Examine the
railroad maps of TO-DAY, -every noun
tain is pierced, every forest traversed,
every river crossed, where ten years
ago there were few signs of civilization.
Martinsburg occupies a central loca-
ton in the line Of this trade, traffic
and development and is bound to keep
mp with the tide of progress.

THEY WANT THE RAnRoAD.-The

ed great deal of comment, and the one
expression from the people along the
line is. that they want the railroad
We have already received assurances
from enough persons between Shep-
herdstown and fiarper's Ferry to guar
antee the right of way along near the
whole distance, and they say that the
matter will receive their hearty aid and
encouragement. This is the spirit that
gets railroads. We hope the people
along the proposed line will keep the
subject hot and promptly take such
/ further action as the circumstances
may suggest. There's no doubt that
road tapping the iron ore deposits,
the limestone quarries and cement
works between here and Harper's Ferry
