COMPLIMENT TO MR.. MEALEY,

The Difference Between the American and Euro
pean Methods of Consular Service.
A correspondent Of the New York
Post sends to that paper pertinent
illustration of the difference between
the American method and that of the
principal European nations in dealing
with the diplomatic and consular SER
vice. He says: "Mr. Cleveland, at
the commencement of his first admin
istration, appointed Mr.. Edward W:
Mealey as consul at Munich. After
Mr.. Harrison's election, Mr. Mealev
was compelled to give up his office and
he duly notified the Bavarian authori-
ties to that effect. The official with
whom he had transacted business was
thunderstruck, and told Mr.. Mealey
that he would write to Washington
and explain how they had never, in
all their experience, had so satisfactory
an American consul. Mr.. Mealey
shook his head. The Germans face
frightened. 'Ah,' he said, "a pro-
motionr There could be no other ex-

THE WOUND PROVED FATAL.

The Polish Miner Who Was Brought to the City
Hospital on Monday is Dead.
John Ledrierter, the Polish miner
who went to the City Hospital on
Monday suffering with a bullet wound
in the stomach, died Thursdaymorning.
Professor Chambers tried to save him
Wednesday by laparotomy, but the
operation proved too much for the
constitution of the wounded man
and he died from the shock.
Ledrierter said he was from Thomas,
Tucker county, w. Va. where he had
been working in the mines of the West
Virginia Central Coal Campany's
mines. On Sunday, he said, number
of the miners secured a keg Of hard
cider and were sitting around enjoying
it when shot was fired. No one knew
who was handling the weapon, but
the shot took effect in the dead mans
body.-Baltimore Neaos.

MAN CREMATED IN A BARN.

Articles That May Lead to his Identification on Bx-
hibition in Berkeley Springs.
On a recent night, the large barn of
Mr.. Thos. Emmart, at Orleans X
Roads, was totally lost by fire. Three
horses we're cremated in the barn.
Searchers through the embers on the
next morning were Mortified to discov-
er mans scull and several of the
larger bones of the body. These, it is
thought, are the remains of tramp
who probably accidentally set the barn
on fire and suffocated before he could
escape. Iron knuckles, knives, etc.,
taken from the ruins, supposed to
have belonged to this man. are on ex-
hibition at the Mercury Office in Ber-
kelley Springs.

Effects Coal Traffic Agreement With the Pennsly-

THE West Virginia Central Rail
road management says the Baltimore
Sau, has practically completed a
traffic arrangement with the Pennsyl-
vania Company that will be of great
value to the West Virginia Central
when its proposed connection from
Cumberland to Hagerstown is com
pleted. By the new arrangement half
of the coal shipments by the West
Virginia Central, will be carried from
Hagerstown, the terminus of the pro-
posed extension, to Harrisburg, by the
Cumberland Valley Railroad. AT pres
ent half of the West Virginia Central's
coal is carried from Cumberland by the
Huntington and Broad Top Road
which is part of the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN. This makes circuitous route
over the mountains, and the new ar
rangement will shorten the time con-
siderably. The proposed extension of
the West Virginia Central will be
about eighty miles long and will ter
inmate within three or four miles Of
Hagerstown. The Baltimore and Ohio

The Stock Cannot be Renewed in few Days and the
Price Will Continue to Advance.
A telegram from Cincinnati says !:
A beef famine is coming; at lea st prices
are going to be higher than for years,
if the opinion of very intelligent cat
tie buyer who travels Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Indiana is worth
anything. In addition to personal
knowledge of the stock on hand in
those states, the gentleman has an
extensive list of correspondents in
other States. He says that for five or
six years the price of cattle has been
so low that all the small farmers have
ceased to raise them and devoted their
attention to other products. The re-
suit is that thousands of farmers who
sold from ten to 100 head each year
have now not hoof. 1t is the dis
coyery of this which has already sent
up the price Of beef. Unlike the hog
crop the stock cannot be renewed in a
few months, and therefore the price
of cattle will advance long time yet.

THE KNITTING MILL.
A Growing Industry of Which Martinsburgers Feel
Justly Proud.

Justly Proud.
The new wing of the Kilbourn
Knitting Mills is rapidly assuming its
proportions, the walls are up, and the
heavy framework and Orders for sup
porting the roof are being placed in
positions. This wing is to be used as
spinning mill, where the raw wool will
be converted into yarn for the knitting
department. Heavy machinery will
be employed for that purpose. The
engine has already arrived and will be
placed in position as soon as practic-
able. Mr.. Kilbourn kindly informs us
that he expects the spinning mill to be
in operation by May l. In the knitting
department some so or 80 hands are
already employed, and more are being
added as rapidly as new machinery ar
rives. After the completion of the
spinning department, another extensive
wing will doubtless be added which
will be used as dye house. The
plant will soon be prepared to receive
the raw material which will be backed
in on the switch and unloaded from
the car into the basement, from there
it passes up through the spinning de-
partment thence to the knitting
machines, and so on until the fin
ished hosiery packed in boxes and
cases are marked for shipment
The Middesex Mills at Exchange Place,
belonging to the same company are
also doing heavy business. About
$50 hands are there employed and the
click of knitting machines can be
heard day and night The output of
the two mills now amounts to about
5000 dozen, or 10000 pairs of hose a
week. Mr.. Kilbourn. about six years
ago, conceived the idea that a machine
could be produced by which vast
amount of labor could be saved; he at
once began to experiment and the out
come is the machines which the com
pany are now using. One girl can
operate from four to six Of these ma
chimes, and turn out a large pile OF
hosiery in a day. Only four mills
have the right to use the Hilbcurn Ma
chimes, two of which are located here.

historic town of Shepherdstown was
entered by band of robbers. Three
of the principal stores of the town and
the postoffice were broken into, those
of G. T. Hodges, DR.. Gibson and d. l..
Rentch. the latter being the heaviest
loser, considerable money being taken
from him. Postmaster Rentch, always
on the safe side, had removed the val
tables from his office. The loss there
was small. The robbers travelled by
wagon and were discovered by Mr..
Hamilton, the night operator of the
Norfolk and Western r. r. Co. He
being found at his post of duty, they
Immediately left. The supposition is
they were after the safe of the railroad.

The season of the year is again at
hand when farmers realize more fully
than at any other the disadvantage OF
the ordinary mud roads Of the country.
When the SHOWS leave, and the frost
releases the earth from its bondage. il
generally takes month or two fol

During all that long period, as we'll as
during the winter months, the extra

FROM AN OLD GEOGRAPHY.

Sulphur.

Medicinal Springs" says, ''We are
told of sulphur springs on Towards
creek, of Greepbrier," which evident
ly had reference to the White Sulphur,
and from what follows in the same
connection we are inclined to the be-
lief that the prop erty was at that time
owned by President George Washing
ton and General Andrew Lewis.
We have fairly well authenticated
account of the water of the White be-
