MATTERS wARMING UP.
One OF Martinsburg's Clothing Men Done
Up-A Woman Comes to the Front
and Concludes the Program.

One OF Martinsburg's Clothing Mon Done
Up-A Woman Comes to the Front
and Concludes the Program.
On Saturday night considerable ex-
element aroused number Of onr peo-
pie, only to find that general row
had taken place, in which clothing
man, his son, railroad man, and the
policemen, were taking a part. Al
WORLD reporter was immediately on
hand, and found it difficult to keep up
with the proceedings. Whether the
parties were having circus Of their
own, or trying to initiate Sullivan,
Kilrain, or some other prize fighter, is
a grave question entitled to some con-
sideration.
1t appears that Mr.. j. F. Rickenour,
a railroad man, with several Of his rail
road friends passed Mr.. David Wells
clothing store, on Queenstreet. Ricken-
our was slightly intoxicated and became
noisy. Mr.. We'll went out onto
the pavement with stove poker,
and Rickenour picked up stone and
threw it, striking show case on the
outside and breaking the glass. Mr..
Wells son, Carl, then went out and
accused Rickenour with breaking the
glass. Rickenour made for Carl and
struck him.
Mr.. We'll then started for the police
to have Rickenour arrested, who in
the meantime left and secreted him
self. A search warrant was imme-
diately gotten out, and the policemen
made a thorough search Of JAS. D.
Gletner's house where he boarded, and
succeeded in finding him.
Mrs. Gletner went to the mayors Of
fee and offered to pay Rickenour's
fine. Here she was confronted by Mr..
We'll who made an insulting remark.
This did not altogether suit Mrs. Glet-
ner, and she determined to haye some
satisfaction out of Mr.. We'll. She
went to the store of Mr.. F. D. Staley
and purchased cowhide. With this
in hand she laid for Mr.. We'll this
morning, and as he was going to his
place Of business, and nearly opposite,
her house, she started across the
street. With cowhide in hand she
hailed Mr.. We'll, and on short notice
went to work on his carcass. To say
she ''floggedr him is but mild term
Of expressing it. Mr.. We'll started on
dead run, crying police" ''mur-
der" take her off , etc., and ran up
on the porch Of Mr.. John Homrich.
Mrs. Gletner followed suit, and not
content with the cowhide, tapped Mr..
We'll gently on his proboscis with her
fist. The blood flew, and the crowd
collected in the meantime, yelled for
all they could.
Mr.. Homrich put in his appearance
and succeeded in clearing them off the
porch; Mr.. Well started off at once for
the police station, with the rim torn
off his hat and his face slightly
scratched. Mrs. Gletner followed him
to the station prepared to pay her fine,

Mrs. Laverty, an Irish lady, who lived
thirty miles from the American Rich
mond, was in the provident habit of
laying in store of groceries to last an
entire quarter, since she could not repair
to Richmond oftener than four times a
year. On one of these provisioning ex-
petitions she laid in store of matches
a disastrous investment, since not a
match would strike. Wild was her fury.
which was kept alight and aglow by her
recurring daily trouble to get her fire
alight and aglow without match. Her
wrath, thus kept at boiling point for
three months, gave the storekeeper a
hot quarter of an hour, when she burst at
last into his store and Numbered down
the parcel Of matchboxes upon the
counter. Having waited with defer
entail patience until the storm had spent
itself, he said suavely, ALLOW me,
madam"
Taking matchbox from the parcel
and a match from the box, he struck it,
after the manner of men, upon his trous-
ers. ''See, madam he exclaimed in
snug triumph, holding up the kindled
match. 1.-The divil fly away wild vel"
shrieked Mrs. Laverty. '"Do We think
that livery time I've fire to light I'll
thravel thirty miles to sthrike a match
on the safe of yere breeches?"-Richard
A. King in Belgravia.

The Street Band.

u like the dashing cornet and the
sprghtly clarinet, said Colonel CALI
per, ''but / like best of all that brass
fountain of cheerfulness, the big bass
horn. Care takes back seat when the
big horn sounds. 1t paints the air red
and defes all creation, but it is vastly
good natured withal, and it never fails
when its friends the cornet and the clari-
net pause for breath to come in with its
oomph-ah! compliant complain! pre-
serving the harmony unbroken.
Relieved from this duty, it rolls off
over the edge Of cliff and brings I'D
suddenly at the foot with a tremendous
oomph! Rebounding, with dignity I'M
rutfled, with undininished vigor, and
with undimmed, inextinguishable and
overwhelming good humor, it losses off
sound in large decorative effects that
excite the wonder of every nearer and
fill every nearer with broad delight.
Gust why the big bass horn is usually
played by short, stout man, while the
slender clarinet is played by man who
is tall and thin is one of those things
that nobody knows. The time may

There is no doubt that certain flies are
best adapted to different seasons, times
of day and conditions of weather, but a
dozen flies of different names will fully
answer all of these requirements. An

Color has more allurement than form.
and as there are not so many colors there
is no use for many flies. The general
rule is for light flies on dark days and
dark or darkish flies on light days. Sizes
are more to be considered than form
and mixture in makeup a large trout

effort to secure. 1t is doubtless true
that an arbitrary cast of flies cannot be

basket of fine looking oranges on his
shoulder passed close by. The motion
of his body loosened one Of tho biggest
and ripest and IT fell 70 the ground. The
man kept on. not noticing or caring for
the loss. The orange lay upon the pave
ment for about half minute unseen.
Then the largest Of the three ragged
urchins sped II, and with cry Of de-
light he ran over and picked il up. Il
was natural TO suppose that he would
proceed to eat it all himself, but instea,l
of doing so he called his companions aud
exhibited his find. They eyed it greed
ly.
Without any request from them for
share In the coveted fruit the finder di-
vided the orange into three parts and
gave his fellow newsboys each q part.
The smallest part he reserved for him
self. IL was only small thing in itsslf,
yet il proved, thought, that there was
something noble hidden Under the ragged

A Gallant Irish Bow.

The biographer OF General Crawford
tells the following story: During We'll
hngton's campaign in the Peninsula, the
Light division was defeated by the
French under Marshal Ney, and forced
TO retreat across a river. A young SOL
die from the north of Ireland, NAMED
Stewart, was nicknamed "The Boy" as
he was only nineteen years of age and
of gigantic stature.
He had fought bravely, and was one
of the last m n who came down to the
bridge, over which the division was re-
treating. He refused to pass over, but
gazing at the French with a grim look,
said in loud voice:
$50 this is the end of our boasting!
This is our first battle, and we retreat!
The Boy Stewart will not live to hear
that said"
Striding forward, he fell upon the ad-
yancing Frenchmen with his bayonet,
and died fighting.
Gallant, but rash!" the reader saws.
Yes, but so were the unyielding warriors
at Thermopyl8.
