Died of HIS Injuries, at Last.

A dispatch from Newark, N D.
dated October 9th, says; "A man
named J. DAILY, known as Fay at the
keystone Lodging-house, where he
has been staying for the past week.
died at the hospital to-day under very
SUSPICIOUS circumstances, and the po-
lice have begun an investigation.
When DAILY arrived in this city MS
head was bandaged, and he explained
that he had been shot by negro farm
hand near Martinsburg, W. va.
Friends of the negro put him on a
train which landed him in this city.
An abscess formed over the wound
and this caused the mans death. III
is said that DAILY was the son OF
wealthy parents, and that he has
been travelling under the name Of Fay
so that his relatives could not trace
him"
This is undoubtedly the man DAILY,
connected with Harris's circus, who
was shot at Martinsburg by the col
ored boy Veney.

The WAY TO Send Money.

We fear that some of our readers do
not exactly understand the methods
of getting money to the publisher OF
newspaper. Well, we will tell you.
II YOU live in this community, just
walk into the printing office, with a
smile on your face, ask for your bill,
plank down the cash, say pleasantly
good day, and go on about your bust
ness. II you live away from here
send a check for what you owe; or a
registered letter costs but ten cents.
while postal note or money order
is still cheaper. Don't send money in
a letter if you can send it any other
way. But, rather than that you
should not send it all, well take the
risk. The main point is, send Il some
hop.
1t is also well to remember that II
is cheaper to send what you owe vol
unfairly than to pay the costs OF COL
lecting it by law.

Affairs of the RaIiroads.

We understand that the long-de-
bated question OF new depot at
Kearneysville has been settled and
site definitely selected for the new
station Of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road. Mr.. B. s. McIntire, the owner
of the building now used as station.
and the agent of the railroad, has do
mated a strip Of land 90 feet wide, run
ming from the pike up TO Trump's
store, for the purposes of the compa-
ny. The old building will be moved
back, and upon its site a new pas
senger station will be erected, while
little further west the freight depot
will be placed. There has been long
contest over the site. Mr.. Trump
wanted the station on his land, sew
eral hundred yards west OF its present
place. and Mr.. Homsher wanted it on
his land, couple hundred of yards
east. The decision Of the company to
use the old site, which is right on the
pike, will, we believe, be approved of
by a majority of the people Of the
neighborhood. We are informed that
work on the improvements will be
commenced very soon.
Frank Kesecker, brakem on the
Berkeley Springs and Potomac branch
of the b. Il o., while coupling cars at
Hancock station fell under the wheels
of the moving train and had his right
leg amputated, and died few hours
later. He was IS years of age, and
leaves a widow and six children.
1t has been remarked that locomo-
tives are now run longer distance
than formerly. 1t used to be that 100
miles was about the limit of divis-
ion, but in the West some roads are
running locomotives 200 aud 800 miles
without changing.
A special train was run from Ha-
gerstown to Roanoke last week in 6
hours and IS minutes. Engineer
Pentz Zller made the run from Ha-
gerstown to Shenandoah-107 miles
in 2 hours and 80 minutes.
Arrangements have been made for
the shipment of large quantities of
cotton from the south by way of the
Norfolk & Western and Western Ma
ryland Railroads.
Thomas OLeary, for years the faith
full watchman at North Mountain Cut,
on the b. & O. Railroad, died last
week. He was 20 years Of age.
Mrs. A. NJ Reid, of Washington
City, died of heart failure on an east
bound b. & o. passenger train last

The HaqerSto Wn Far.

Perfect weather, fine attractions,
splendid exhibits and excellent man
agement have combined to make the
Hagerstown fair a great success
this wear. 1t is the boss fair OF this
section. Avery large crowd was pres
ent on Wednesday, crowded trains
going from this section. The officials
of Morgan's Grove, headed by the
Shepherdstown Band, attended, be-
sides a very large crowd of citizens.
Thursday, Of course, was the great
day of the fair. and the trains Oh the
Norfolk & Western Railroad carried
tremendous crowds. The turnout
from Shepherdstown was immense.
The poultry exhibition is the best
that has ever been seen in this sec
ton. There are about 5000 fowls ex-
hibited, among which are magnificent
specimens of every variety of chick
ems, and turkeys, ducks, geese pig
cons, fancy birds, &c. 1t is really
ma onificent collection. There are "A
cattle, 24S horses, and hogs, sheep,
etc, on exhibition.
A very gratifying feature of the fair
is the absence of the numberless gam
blers and fakirs Of the baser sort who
have heretofore been such nuisance
ON the grounds, and the fair is all the
better for its immunity from the hard
cases.
Take it all in all. the fair is tip top
one. And the managers treat their
friends in the most royal manner, too.

Mnrried Under Difficulties.


The report that a wedding would
take place Tuesday evening at 3
o'clock in the NJ E. Church caused
quite a stir among the curious element.
The church was open and lighted,
the minister and organist in their
proper places at the appointed hour,
and everything ready except the bride
and groom. With much patience all
concerned waited until O'Clock, and
as no tidings had been received from
the contracting parties, the pastor
announced they would not wait long
er and the audience left the church
and went to their homes. About 7.SO
O'Clock the bridal party arrived and
the couple were married in the parlor
OF the church parsonage. The bride
appeared very much agitated and
nervous, and when she did not respond
to the questions the minister paused
and remarked to her that if she did
not wish to be married to this man,
to now say so and she would not. She
replied that she wished to be married
to him and the ceremoney proceeded,
she making prompt replies to the
questions. After all necessary ques-
tions had been answered promptly,
the minister again, before pronoun-
cling them man and wife, told the bride,
who appeared TO be very much de
pressed, that she was not yet married
and if she did not wish TO be now TO
speak, but she said again that she
wished to be married and the cerelno-
ny was concluded. Immediately at
ter the conclusion of the ceremony
the bride tainted and as she fell was
caught by the minister. Restoratives
were applied and soon she was able
to leave for the residence of her sister,

they all enjoyed themselves. AS a
part OF the entertainment short pro-
gramme was given on the stage. Mr.
Beltzhoover, president OF the Y. NJ. {.
A.. presided. There was prayer by
Rev. Mr.. Van Horne, music from

The old Engine IS All Right.

The old hand fire engine that has
done so much good In Shepherdstown,
and which deserved a better fate
than to rust aud decay, has been put
in good order again. 1t was taken
from its quarters few days ago, and
Mr.. J. s. Myers oVerhauled it. The
only thing the matter with 1t was
that it wanted IL change in its leather
valves. Mr. Holiday had repaired it
a few days ago, and he put the valves
in wrong. OF course the machine
wouldn't work, so it WAS thrown
aside. Mr.. Myers put them in the
way they ought to go, and then the
engine was brought up street and
given trial Manned by II small
force of men it threw water over the
Methodist Church with scarcely a
grunt, and demonstrated the fact that
it is still very useful. A new fire com
pany is to be organized to have charge
of the hand engine, and we have no
doubt that it will he Of great benefit
TO the town. Let the Town Council
encourage the new company.
