In Winchester last week Charles Cross

Tertiary for stealing carpet and other
articles from Mount Olive Church, Fred
erick county. Cross got two years in the
penitentiary for stealing similar articles

Edwin Ca.ke Fuleher, ageO Twenty
one years, SOL of Capt. Edwin A. Fulcher,
of Augusta county, was killed three miles
west of Staurton Monday by jumping
from the c. 4 o., westbeunG train. Young
Fulchcr had been running as an extra for
the Adams Express Company. One of the
sad features of the case is that the IN
fortunate young man was engaged to be
married to a lovely young lady, pupil of
one of the female seminaries in TIE city.
1t is said that Fulcher had an accident
policy for s., OCO on his life.
Our town officials are making some
much needed Improvements on High
street, by matchmaking the roadway
from Main to Mublenberg street, and
probably further, and are also laying a
substantial brick pavement along TIE
north side of the street from Mrs. PIT
mans corner to the Methodist church
corner on Muhlerberg street. We hope TO
see the same work continued on other
streets Just as rapidly as the finances OF
the town will permit, but think it bad
policy to go into debt to any great extent.
Much as it is needed it is better to go a
little slow than to be ciamped or handi-
capped by debts.

Wilson House a year or two ago. HCl

We confess that it is with a feeling o
much pleasure, that doubtless will bC

splendid musical entertainment to be
given in this place on Thursday evening
May 18th, by that master OF music, Prof
Thomas FroshO. who will be assisted by
his daughter, a musical artist of wonder

performances upon the violin, COrnet anC

in the memories of our people. Let NJ
one fail to attend, as such entertain
