SOUELCH TOUGHS.

At an entertainment of the local
lodge of Knights of Pythias, held on
last Wednesday evening, there vas
considerable uproar and fussing caus-
ed and INDUCED in by outsiders. The
Knights Of Pythias is one of the best
OF beneficial organizations, and ex-
erts a splendid influence as well as
doing great good in helping the sick,
aiding the distressed, and helping
the widows and orphans, and there
fore, it is shame that any of their
social gatherings should be unlaw-
fully interrupted. But why not be-
have at any assemblage? If a man
is tough, and desires TO break the
law, why should he not stay with the
toughs, or become a prize fighter, or
at least keep to his own level and not
among respectable gatherings? A
man who cannot behave himself in
public, should have sense enough to
stay at home and do battle with his
own nastiness, and not go out and
interfere with other persons. If they
do, the policemen should be around
and arrest them promptly.

THE TRUE VERsIoN.-The capture
of the man Chas. Salyards, who muir.
dered Policeman Martin, of Carlisle
last week, has been so distorted by
the newspapers that we again pub
lish the story in brief and can vouch
for its accuracy.
Notwithstanding the information
given by Conductor Kaufman that
he had seen the man who wore two
coats, the under of which was the
longer, those in charge of the train
coming to Martinsburg, had no idea
that Salyards was aboard. Shortly
after leaving Martlnsburg, the brake
man, Mr.. John S. Robinson told
conductor Snodgrass that he believ-
ed that the fellow was on the train,
but Mr.. Snodgrass was incredulous.
Mr.. Robinson, however, watched the
fellow, who, possibly aware of the
scrunity, reached into his side peck
ct fer his speetacles in which action
Mr.. Robinson noticed the deformity
that was known as TO Salyard S hand.
When adjusting the glasses the scar
on the head was also seen and then
they knew he was the murderer.
When he left the cars at Winchester
the protruding under coat was seen,
but he eluded the officers. He was
shortly afterwards located at the
City Hotel where Mr.. Robinson
identified him and he was captured.
The capture was due to no accident,
but the careful vigilance of Mr.. Rob-
inson
Chas. Salyards is now closely
guarded in cell No. 4, on the West
side of The Carlisle prison. He seems
to be well satisfied to be inside the
walls. Tuesday evening when he
was taken into the sheriff's office
Salyard confronted three of the rela-
tives of the dead officer and Conduc
tor Martin and Justice Martin,
brothers Of the deceased. They
were greatly excited but attempted
no violence, yet the sheriff hurried
the prisoner off to his cell to give as
little opportunity as possible for an
outbreak.

carriage the horse made lurch,
breaking some part of the buggy and
throwing Mr.. Bristor forward and at
his heels. The horse kicked him
twice giving internal injuries from
which he died in a few minutes. The
shocking news was soon circulated

requesting him to inform the family
His body was brought to Martins
burg and prepared for burial by ur,
dertaker VIM, H. Wilen.
The funeral took place Sunday af.

CHICAGO ELOQUENT. Referring to
the people who will come to the fair,
the Chicago Times says:
"And they will come as they never
came before--like the wolf on the
fold; like the thief in the night like
the king fn bis splendor.p
We might imagine the spider de-
liverlng himself Of just such solilo
guy as he complacently observes the
flies turning their footsteps toward
his parlor Those who go to Chica-
go like the wolf on the fold, will be
like the sheep which went out for
wool aud came back shorn. Those
who go like the thief in the night
may find that the cid tradition OF
honor among thieves is delusion
and snare. Those who go like q
king in his splendor will be very for
tunate if they have any of their
splendor left after the Chicago hotel
clerk has had fair chance at them.
And the Times exhorts the Chicago
pcople to suffer the discomforts Of
the fair in silence. They can well
affcld TO. for the silence will be gold

In a Common Jail.

LONDON, April l8.-Tbe Dowager
Duchess of Sutherland was to day
committed to Holloway prison under
sentence of imprisonment for six
weeks imposed by Sir Francis Jeune,
president of the Court of Probate,
for contempt of court.
Notwithstanding that the imprlson
ment of British duchess in com
mon Jail is probably unprecedented
in England, the affair did not excite
any great surprise amoung the pub
lie, for it had been anticipated that
the court would take severe action
in view ofthe fragrant contempt with
which the duchess was charged. The
name of the dowager duchess is Mary
Caroline, and she was a widow at the
time of her marriage to the late Duke
of Sutherland.

Jas. B. Morgan, having been ap-
pointed by the session of the Pres
byterian church Of this place, the Su-
perintendent OF its Sunday school,
and that appointment having been
approved by a unanimous vote ofthe
membership, entered upon his duties
last Sunday morning.
A very pleasant incident occurred
at the Presbyterian Sunday school,
in this place, last Sunday morning.
At the close of the session the friends
of Mr.. John D. Gordon, who has
been the acting superintendent of the
school for the past fifteen years, pre-
scented him splendid copy OF" Hitch
cocks Analysis of the Bible" in re
cognition of his devotion and fidelity
in that office, from which he then re-
tired. Mr.. Gordon was much sur
prised by this token of esteem, but
accepted it in few feeling and APP
propriate remarks.
A congregational meeting of the
Presbyterian church of this place
was held last Sunday morning, Rev.
G. N. Campbell, D. D., of Charles

meeting was to take action on the

Presbytery to dissolve the pastoral
relation now existing between the
church and him. The congregation
declined to concur in the request, by
vote OF 81 to IL. DR.. J. B. Wiley

John leaves the ranch and goes out
into the world and Joseph takes
charge of the granary and the liquid
output. The employees did a very
handsome thing in pres enting Mr..
Mason with an excellent watch and
q fine chain in token of their appre-
citation of him. The truth is that
the record of both Mr.. Miller and
Mr.. Mason is so commendable as to
meet with appreciation from all par
ties. They each performed their
duties well and faithfully and we are
glad to know that West Virginia can
furnish the best Commissioners of
Revenue for either party.

GROWING EAT ON Lee CREAM

GROWING FAT ON IcE-CREAM =
James Tobin, living near Crawford,
Ind was confined to the house last
summer, affiicted with a stomach
trouble that almost baffled m, dical
skill. 1t was found that no food
except ice-cream, could be retained
long enough to be digested. So,
since July IA, he has eaten nothing
. but ice-cream. On that date he
weighed lao pounds, and now he tips
the scale at 2l0 and works early and
late. A gallon of rich ice cream is
frozen every morning and is suffi-
Gent for the day.
Tobin can take other kinds of food
now, but has suffered so mnch from
indigestion that he thinks it best to
leave well enough alone and not wor-
Iy about the monotony in his meals

JUSTICE TRAMMELL's DoCKET.-
During the week Justice Trammell
has had several boys brought before
him for petty thefts, committed IN
the northern section of the city.
Clarence Foreman, Ernest Hips
ley, Ian and Hunt Mckinney were
arraigned and tried on the charge of
stealing bananas from Levi Oliker,
and were each fined S. and costs, in
default Of which, Foreman and Hips
ley were sent to Jail ten days each.
Clarence Foreman and Ernest Hips
ley were also tried on charge OF
stealing potatoes from Levi Oliker-
and each sent to Jail for term of ten
days. Arthur McKeefer was also
tried for stealing bananas and sent
to jail.
The boys all range from IL to Is
years of age, and are certainly old
enough to know right from wrong
and as their parents are all in fair
circumstances, no plausible excuse
can be offered in their behalf, and no
possible reason can be assigned for
the motive of the thefts except down
right deviltry.
We sympathize with the boys'p par
ents, and believe the punishment will
be all the better for the boys, At
the same time there are still others
who are committing offences of SIM
liar nature, and it will only be mat
ter of time until they too feel the
weight of the iron hand of the law.
Nip them in the bud and save them
from becoming professional sneak
thieves and robbers. Indications go
to show that the boys are working in
an organized band. The sooner it
is broken up, the better.

THE FEMALE COLLEGE.

The intention to establish tho
rough reliable and commendable fe-
male college, under the auspices of
the Reformed Synod,is still progress
ing, and we have no doubt will bear
good fruit. 1t is desired TO have
this college located in Martinsburg,
as being central, easily reached and
furnishing all other accommodations,
necessary to the nurture, growth and
usefulness of so valuable an institu-
ton. Other towns have been max
ing offers of contribution for this
college. The congregation of the
Reformed Church, backed by Rev.
DR.. Hoffheirs, their pastor, have
been steadily and sturdily meeting
such propositions, and have thus far
kept pretty even therein. But it
cannot be hoped that this one
congregation can maintain such an
unequal contest, and while they can
raise and contribute several thou
sand dollars, they cannot be expect
ed to compete with the contributions
of wealthy people Of other towns, un-
less our own people render material
and substantial aid. We understand
that q movement has been made at
the Peoples National Bank to aid so
worthy project and the other banks
and the citizens of the town and
county, generally, should subscribe
so literally as not to fail in securing
this collegiate institution. Every
person should help some, and see
what success can be had by concen-
tration of strength.
