THE New York Times had a brief
Long Branch despatch on Monday,
indicative of the contempt with
which Rufus Blodgett, the s~o-called
Senator from this State, is regarded.
1t appears he voted for the silver bill
last week. but nobody, even about his
own home, thought it worth while to
ask how he voted or to criticize him
for voting as he did.
Nothing could be more plainly in
dicative of the utter collapse of this
man from the time he became the
beneficiary of an act of party bad
faith. His fate ought to be a warn
ing TO those who may mediate a
repetition next year of the disgrace of
1887. The dearest bought honors in
the world are those, the cost of which
is breach of faith.

So long as the Court of Chancery
insists on trying divorce cases in star
chamber session, just SO long will con-
spiracy scandals continue to shock
the community. The salacious de-
tails of divorce Ease evidence may
not be edifying reading, out they con-
stitute a small evil in comparison
with those which grow but of secret
legal proceedings. The effort at Sc
crecy is always unavailing when the
facts are of sufficient public interest
to stir up the newspapers. But it
sufices in dozens of cases to cover up
impositions ON the Court and gross
wrongs to innocent people.

Shot Through Tho Heart.


On Saturday night Martinsburg
was thrown into Y fever ofexcitement
by a shooting ARRAY which resulted
in the death of John Poisal, an ex-
policeman, man of wonderful ply
sique and who, it is said, was noted
for his fearlessness during his term o.
service on the police force in that
place.
John Poisal was barkeeper for
Paul Strausner, whose saloon is To-
Gated near the Baltimore and OHIO
Railroad depot. He WAS standing in
front of the place when five men came
out Of saloon above StrausDer's,
where they had been engaged in an
alteration. As they passed Poisal
they continued their quarreIinG and
soon had words with PoiSal.
About this time Poisal's brother,
who is in the employ OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, came
I'D and took sides with his brother.
They attacked the crowd Of five and
fought for some distance up the street.
At last one of the crowd said, Il have
enough of this, and pulled out re-
volver and fired one shot. 1t went
through the heart of John Poisal.
Being of such magnificent build, phys
ically, Poisal did not fall Immediately
but reached down and threw stone
after the fleeing crowd. He died
three minutes after.
Four of the men were arrested but
one escaped. The man who fired the
shot said, in jail, 1T was a pretty
good shot for the first one. de mad
purchased the revolver that day
Threats OF lynching were made and
for a time it looked as though the
suggestion would be acted on. When
the whole story was learned, however,
opinion became divided as to wheth-
er the man was justified in shooting
or not.
The names of the four men who
were arrested for the shooting are
James Hunter, Timothy Desmond
Lawrence Dorahan and Martin
Shanahan. They are from Pittsburs
and have besn employed in the con
struction of the Potomac Valley Rail
road bridge at Cherry Run. Desmond
is said to have killed Poisal.
The murdered man was member
of the Nadenbousch Company OF mllI
tia during the great railroad strike Of
1876. He was shot in the head, sus'
tanning a scalp wound, by an engineer
named Vandegrift in collision OF the
troops with the strikers. Vandsgrift
was shot in turn by Poisal and had
his arm shattered, from the effects oil
which he died in a few days.

Mr.. EDITOR Feeling anxious that
my friends aud neighbors should know
as much of the following as myself, |
herewith comm 1nicate it:
All persons who own horses are
aware that when a horses foot Is
punctured with a nail, or TO use the
common expression, has run nail
in his foot, il is serious matter. EN-
tract the nail; cut around the en-
trance of the, nail-hOle with your
knife, so as to give it the shape OF
a funnel. Then drop as much "mu-
Ratio acid" into the hole as you think
will penetrate to the bottom of the
puncture. 1t will scar the wound and
stop all Inflammation. A second APP
plication is seldom ever necessary, but
a speedy cure is guaranteed. l have

About the Railroads.

The new schedule that went into
effect on the Norfolk & Western Rail
road last Sunday shows considerable
change in the running of passenger
trains. 1t makes the delivery of our
morning mail two hours later as train
No. s does not now arrive until II a.
III. Train No. 2, that arrived formerly
at 1875 a. H.. now comes at ). % a. M,
and the accommodation from the
south is changed from l1.23 a. III. TO
1917 a. Ill. The changes in the time
of the other passenger trains are but
slight, and the corrected schedule will
be found on the second page Of this
issue.
At the regular meeting of the direc-
tors of the B. & o. Railroad Company
last week it was decided 10 eIpend
large sums in renewing, strengthening
and improving its roadways, tracks
and structures, and in the renewal
and repair of its locomotives and car
equipment.
The Norfolk & Western Railroad
will sell round trip tickets from this
place to Antietam next Monday at %
cents for the round trip. This is only
five cents more than the regular fare,
second-class, and will be jumped at
maybe.
The passengers who were so badly
injured in the railroad wreck at Mon
del's last Sunday a-week are all i'm
proving rapidly at the Hotel Hamil-
ton in Hagerstown. Their recovery
will leave the record Of the Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad yet unbrOken-
it has never had passenger killed on
one Of its trains.
Under the new schedule the b. &
O. Railroad runs three trains daily
from Baltimore and Washington to
points on the Norfolk & Western
Railroad. They leave Baltimore at
10 a. III. and Washington S.45 Il. H.;
Baltimore $50 p. III. and Washington
3. 80 p. M; and Baltimore $50 p. III.
and Washington 11.15 p. III.
New schedules went into effect on
the b. & o. and the Cumberland Val
ley Railroads last Sunday. Corrected
time tables will appear in the next

The Murder Case.

There will be no change Of venue in
the case of Harry 3. Smooth, in
dicted for the murder Of Miss Susie
Terrell in Shepherdstown on the 2lst
of last January. The case will be
tried before the Jefferson Circuit
Court.
Last Saturday morning the counsel
for the defense, Capt. George Baylor,
of Charlestown, and Hon. Marshall
Mccormick, of Berryville. Va, moved
for a change of venue, on the ground
that the prisoner could not obtain a
fair and impartial trial in Jefferson
county. In support OF the motion,
counsel submitted afiidavits from
seven persons alleging their belief
that such trial could not be obtained,
and presented clippings from news-
papers published at the time of the
murder TO show that the public
mind was infiamed and prejudiced.
To controvert this, States Attorney
Forrest w. Brown submitted 445 al
tidayits from citizens Of this county,
stating their belief that the prisoner
could receive a fair trial here. Sew
eral witnesses were also examined
orally. In support OF the motion, al
ter the testimony was in, Captain
BAYLOR addressed the court Monday
morning, and was followed in OPP
position by Mr.. Brown, Mr.. Meteor
mick closing for the defence.
After the noon recess, court con-
yened at o'clock, and Judge Faux
ner denied the motion, and directed
that the case be proceeded with.
After the witnesses for the defense
had been called, and it was discover
ed that several of them were absent,
counsel for the defense moved for q
continuance of the case until the next
regular term, on the ground that the
absent witnesses were material to
their case. Tho Judge, however, re-
fused to grant continuance, but
agreed to postponement to day at
this term to be agreed upon by
counsel.
The prisoner was the cynosure Of
all eyes. He was, so for rs outward
appearance went, composed and un-
embarrassed and was seemingly as
.Allact aI a tho
courtroom. He looked quite well,
and appeared in perfectly good health
and spirits. A very large crowd OF
persons WIS present, and although
the deepest interest was manifested
there was no evidence whatever OF
excitement or OF feeling against the
prisoner other than was natural I'M
der the circumstances.
The rulings OF Judge Faulkner have
been those of just and impartial
Judge. He has shown that he de
sires the prisoner to have fair and
unprecedented trial and every advan-
tage that the law allows, but at the
same time he will not permit any I'M
necessary delays on account Of trifles.
His course is commended by all per
sons the friends of the defendant as
well Us those who are interested in
the prosecution.
Tuesday morning counsel on both
sides conferred and agreed upon Tues
day, June 9TH, as the day for the trial,
and Judge Faulkner fixed upon that
date, announcing that he intended
that the case should certainly begin
at that time.
