Our Postmaster Resigns.

Mr.. James d. Fayman, who has
been postmaster at Shepherdstown
during the administration Of Presi-
dent Harrison, has rendered his resig
nation, which has been accepted by
the department. The office is now in
charge OF Mr.. Daniel Getzendanner'
who was Mr.. Fayman's bondsman'
and he will probably hold it until
President Cleveland names a new
postmaster. Mr.. Getzendanner has
employed Mr. d. s. Rentch to manage
the office for him. Inspector Naylor,
of the Postoffice Department, was
here last week and settled all &C
counts. Mr.. Fayman, we understand,
resigned on account OF the condition
Of his health and because he did not
care to take the trouble TO furnish
the bond required since the office was
made a presidential one, knowing
that his tenure would probably be
short.
Acting Postmaster Rentch will
have the Office open on Sunday from
10. 80 to 1901 p. III.

Mrs. Hattie Grantham and Mr..
John Wikel surprised their friends
last week by announcing their mar

September. Mr.. Wibel came here
from Harrisburg, Pa.
Mr.. John B. Wilson has again come

We chronicle with deep sorrow the
death OF Mrs d. A. Cline, which took
place after long and painful illness
at her home in this city on last Fri
day. Her age was SO years, . months
and 5 days. Mrs. Cline was a native
of Shepherdstown, married and moved
to Martinsburg in 1S47, and has since
resided here. A husband, two sons
and a daughter survive her and
cherish the memory of fond and
loving wife and mother. She was an
estimable lady and her life was de-
voted and consistent Christian one.
From the Independent:
The trial of Edward Murphy, who
was indicted for having committed
perjury before the grand jury of this
county before which came up for con-
sideration the charge of killing the
Snowman, James Daley, came up be-
fore the Circuit Court on Wednesday
last. This was the second trial, the
jury in the former trial having failed
to agree. The case was warmly con
tested, and the arguments of counsel
for State and defendant ably made.
After retiring to their room for some
time the jury returned with verdict
of not guilty. Murphy was discharged
from custody, as Mr.. Pitzer, represent
ing the State, allowed a nolle to be
entered in the other Indictment which
was pending against the prisoner.

A HeartIeSs Man.

~ HtuIuooS mum
A case of heartlessness, which
amounts to brutality, has recently
come to our knowledge. a young
fellow living at Ripon, and known as
VIM. James, about three months ago
married Miss Kate Krunkleton. A
few weeks ago it was developed that
she was suffering from tumor, which
if not removed would result in her
death. Sufficient money was raised
to send her to the hospital in Baltl-
more for the operation, which we are
informed was performed, and we
further learn that the husband re
turned and succeeded il raising by
contribution thirty-hve or forty dol
lars more. Returning to Baltimore
he found his wife dead, when he de-
serted the remains and returned home.
The hospital was telegraphed to and
the reply came that the young wo-
man had died from the effects Of the
operation, and stating the facts bove
related. closing with the inquiry,

We notice the following in the
Washington Post OF recent date:
EDITOR PoST-The death Of Gen. s.
S. Carroll, who was n prominent tis-
ure in many battles Of the late war,
at this time calls to remembrance the
statement OF an Indian in Braddock's
defeat that he had many fine shots at
Gen. Washington and failed TO hit
him, as in the case Of Gen. Carroll
the same incident can be verified by
parties now living. At the battle OF
Fishers Hill, above Winchester, Va,
one wing of the Confederate line Of
battle was steadily driven back, and
the desire of the Confederates to
check the Union advance caused the
officers and men of the Letcher Rifle
men, n crack company from Duffields,
in jefferson county, w. Va, to order
or shout, Shoot that officer on horse
back who is pushing forward his men
so, ana members OF Tie crdch cou
pany, several of whom are now living
near Duflields, w. Va, shot at him re-
peatedly, but failed to hit him. The
first lieutenant of the Letcher Rifle
men, Thomas Link, who also com
manded some Virginia troops at the
execution of John Brown, was struck
by bullet in this battle and had his
leg broken, so fell in the hands OF
Gen. CAROLS men, and after the war
an effort was made by the son Of
Lieut.. Link, Rev. Gibson Link, Stras-
burg, Va, to trace out his fathers
sword, which led TO the statement
above made. JAS. III. ENGLE.

Edward Randall, the evangelist who
used TO go about this State some years
ago painting all sorts of quotations
from the Bible upon rocks and fences
and walls, and who was in the peni-
Tertiary for awhile, was in ParkeIs-
burg recently. He tried to get the
people there to take him up and sup
port him, and when they gave him
the cold shoulder he went TO Wheel
ing, where he was at last accounts.
One time Randall painted on big
rock by the wayside these words:

A patent MEDICINE man came along
and painted under it

The next trip that Randall made
that way he saw what had happened.
and on the same rock he added this

other troubles. Fortunately no fatal
