Pass Him Around .

We take the following from the last
issue of the Goshen Blade:
"PRoF. G. w. HEssELL, IMPosTER !:
Some four years ago, when Rev. Mr..
Lambdin had charge of church in Han
cock Md, an individual called upon him
representing himself as a professor of
languages and music, then trying to
make his way to Baltimore where he
had friends. After some conversation
with the fellow. Mr.. Lambdin gave him
a dollar and was disposed to help the
scamp further, and would have done SO
but for the fact resident OF the town
called Mr. Lambdin's attention to sev>
eral newspaper slips, giving an account
of the swindlers method of operation
On the afternoon of the day Mr.. Lamb
din had been apprised of the fellow, be
called again at the Manse Mr.. Lamb
din listened attentively to him for a few
moments, then denounced him as a
fraud and swindler, made him disgorge
the dollar and leave town.
TUESDAY afternoon the same swindler
with the same old story, and the same
old claims to assistance, called at the
Manse in Goshen, but failed to recognize
the gentleman he had attempted to
swindle four years ago. The reverend
gentleman heard his story and then
called the attention of the imposter to
the Hancock episode of four years ago.
and revealed himself to the fellow, tell
ing him he could not be caught on the
same old trick the second time. The
rascal beat retreat from the Manse and
! from Goshen.
''This imposter is five feet seven inches
! tall, stoop. shouldered, light sandy beard
and hair, blue eyes, wears glasses, dark
clothes, cutaway coat, carries roll OF
music. very glib talker in very broken
English, wears a high silk hat, a man
probably 40 years of age.
''He told Mr.. Lambdin on Tuesday at
ternoon that when in Charlottesville the
professors at the University had given
him financial aid. The press must look
| out for this rascal and prevent his swind
ling our people"
The individual referred to above was
in Clifton Forge on last Sunday, a week
ago, and related his pathetic little story
about being out of situation, and de-
string aid to return to his native land,
Denmark. The best place for such gen
| teelsswindlers is work-house or attach
| ed to chain-gang

Fatal Accident Near Millboro.

On last Thursday young man named
Moses Buzzard came to MiIlboro depot
with wagon after load of goods for
Mr. Mcneil, a merchant at Marlinton,
Pocahontas county, w. Va. He at once
loaded his wagon and started back.
When he had gone about two miles he
got off the wagon to lcck it in descend-
ing a short but steep hill. While thus
engaged the team started and Mr.. Buzz
zard ran to the front to stop the horses;
just as he was passing the wagon, the
load being heavy and easily overbal-
anced, it upset, catching Mr.. Buzzard
under a large box of glass ware and kill
ing him instantly. When removed from
under the load it was found that his
neck, back, one arm and one leg were
broken. His body was at once taken in
charge by an undertaken and sent home.
Mr.. Buzzard was a young man of sober
and industrious habits and respected
wherever known. He was about twenty
one years old, unmarried, and without
any near living relatives, except a young
er brother and a married half-sister.

Some of the Episcopal young ladies
are agitating the question of getting up
some theatricals for the benefit of their

The Fourth of July was celebrated in
good style here last Monday. At day
break the younger generation made the
daylight iideous with their incessant

this sort of sport. AT O'Clock an ele>
CANT banquet was served in the large
dining room at the hotel. The room had
been most tastefuliy decorated for the
occasion with ferns, flowers and flags.
From each pillar the flag of our Nation
swung side by side with that of the
State, while the whole of the eastern
end of the dining room was covered with
an immense United States flag, on
which was printed the names of "Cleve-
land and Tucker The menu cards
were most handsomely conceived and

of the Nation on the outer side and a list
of most delicious promises, which were
fully verified on the inner side of the

were colonial and revolutionary in the
sound, but most delightfully."- fresh in

menu card were splendid.

he can console himself with Lord Palm

J. Edwin Stone has just finished the
task of walking from San Francisco to

it only afforded emigrant train transpor-
