In Our MIDsT.-Ho, ho, no s! This
is too good to keep. The Fairmont
West Virginian accuses the Rev.
James o. Thompson, of the Keyser
Echo, OF having seven saloons in his
midst. Ifthis sad news be true, it
wonld be a great bar to his Good
Templar membership. But seven
saloons; oh, happy man!-Free
Lance.
We haven't had, for forty years,
at least, even a small part ofthe con-
tents of a saloon in our midst, to say
nothing about seven saloons. More
over, we don't intend to have. Key
ser, so far as we can find out, has on
ly FIVE, and that is six too many.
We will just say to the West Vir-
ginian, that if it will be any comfort
to him, we win acknowledge that the
FIVE saloons in Keyser are as much of
a curse as the eight in Fairmont are
to that thriving city. The whole
thirteen, in this case most unlucky
number, ought to abe closed and
stand closed" until the day of judg-
ment.- Keyser Mountain Echo.
Look out, Bro. Free Lance, or
someone will get mad.

A JOLLY FISHING PARTY.-A par
ty of fourteen including the cook,
started on Thursday morning onNo o.
Is for North Mountain, from which
point they go to McCoy's Ferry for
week or ten days outing. They
were well equipped with provisions
and shelter, but not much fishing
tackle, trip for pleasure regardless
of fish, being their object. The party
consists of Misses Minnie Diffen-
derfer, Jennie DeGrange, Bessie
Houseworth, Lula and Lottie Mckee,
Alice Wilson, Prof. and Mrs. J. O.
Brockenshire, Messrs. F. E. Wilson,
John Mckee, Bruce Capper, Chas.
Peine and Ed. Hill. Taylor Newton
went along as cook. The party will

MARr1NsBuRe DEFEATS Rockville.

MARTINSBURG DEFEATS ROCKVILLE.
The heavy team of Rockville land
ed in our city last Friday evening,
and game with our home team was
arranged for Saturday. The game
was called at $50 p. m. in order to
allow the visitors to catch the $50
p. m. train. The home team took
the outs with Combs in the box. The
visitors did not succeed in scoring in
their half Of the inning but they
showed up in fine form. They sue.
ceeded in scoring three runs in their
half of the second inning upon errors
made by the home team. They sue.
ceeded in still increasing their lead
by three more runs in the fourth in
ming. When our boys came to the
bat in their half of the fourth the
score stood SIX to nothing against
them.
1t looked very blue for Martins
burg, but the very first batter made
a hit which was kept up until nine
runs had been placed to the credit of
the home team. The boys ran bases
in fine style, and had it not been for
the errors the visiting team would
have been shut out without run,
and showed that they can play ball
if they will work hard. Pitzer made
one of the most phenomenal catches
of foul ball ever seen on the grounds.
He played his position beautifully
not allowing one stolen base. Combs
is new pitcher. In the absence of
Rider our regular pitcher, in the
Brunswick game he was put in to
pitch. He did so well that Captain
Pitzer decided he had a great find !,
and put him up against the heavy
Rockville batters. His was a credit
for any pitcher striking out eight
men and giving but two bases on
balls. This is the only second game
OF ball he has pitched, and with
proper training he will develop into
a fine twirler. Timmons held up
first and accepted everything that
came his way. Young at second
base was in crippled condition and
played good ball until the seventh
inning, when he gave way to Meadows.
Zimmerman at third base. had one
costly error in the forepart Of the
game, but redeemed himself by his
heavy hitting and brilliant fielding
later on. Lemon had two errors,
which was looked over owing to his
magnificent stops of hot liners and
perfect throwing, making three hits
out of four times at the bat. Creque
as usual had to make homer, and
filed his position with one error,
which was costly. Slinkman played
good ball in centerfield. In the
fourth inning he got struck in the
eye with a ball while batting, but he
gamely played the game out.
Rockville is made up OF gentle
menly set of base ball players, who
know hows how to play. The only
thing wrong with them Saturday was
they met stronger team than they
themselves are. Mr.. Frank Vanhorn
umpired the game in very satisfac-
tory manner to both sides. Mr..
Mobray was scorer. The score was
Is to 9 in favor of Martinsburg.

A PLEASANT FISHING PARTY.-A
crowd of fourteen persons, compos-
ed of Mrs. Thos. Fost, Mrs. David
f. Drenner and daughters, Misses
Carrie Scheelky, Cora Heck, Minnie
and Kiola Barker, and M.ssrs. Robt.
L. Mullen, OF Baltimore, A. M.
Staubly, w. e. Drenner and A. Zim-
norman, Jr. all with bosoms filled with
bright anticipations, headed for the
place where Dam No. 4 sweetly
sleeps on West Virginia's green bos-
ON, in Mr.. Charles Sharff's large wag-
on, on Tuesday last to have a good
time and catch a mess of fish, pre-
pared with tackle and bait enough
to catch all the fish in the river. Ar
irving at that place they began an
extensive correspondence with the
fish every now and then dropping
them line, but either the fish had
all been caught the day before or
they were not aronnd getting caught
that day, for the morning was gone
before a good sized fish was taken
from the water. It was just about
that time that all were willing to give
up fishing as an irksome task, and
betook themselves to something
more pleasant. They did not go I'M
prepared for other sports either, as
various games, amusem ents and
tricks, were INDUCED in the rest of
the day by the young folks. They
also had another kind of bait along
in abundance, and after such days
outing it was not amazing to see
how the good things disappeared so
rapidly. When the time for depart
ing came they were loath to bid the
river and its contents farewell, only
regretting that they did not have
more fish to show for their days
work. About midnight a weary
but happy crowd, very much fatig
ued but with pleasant remembrances
of the day, could have been seen
coming through this city. They re-
turned by way Of Shepherdstown
and all expressed themselves as bav-
ing spent most happy day. l.

A MARTINsBURG BoY's SUCCESS
The Muneie, Ind. Daily Times
speaks fatteringly of the success of
the Common Sense Engine Works of
that place which has lately been re-
organized, its buildings enlarged and
number of stockholders increased by
means of which its capital and credit
are greatly increased. Among other
things it reflects credit upon Mr.. G..
Campbell Janney, formerly of this
place, in the following language:
"Great credit is due Mr.. Janney,
who has successfully carried on the
business of the Common Sense En-
CINE Company during the past year,
and placed it in position where it
has attracted the attention of the
gentlemen who have recently gone
into it, and has given to the city OF
Muncie an industrial enterprise of
which all It's citizens may well be
proud"

No MORE UNpUBL1suED CHAprERs

No MORE UNPUBLISHED CHAPTERS.
Every body will regret that, after
the August HARPER's there will be
no more unpublished chapters OF
"Trilby." Du Maurier's story will
be complete down to what happened
twenty years after the principal
events described and henceforth Tril-
by must take her place among the
heroines who stands liz well ordered
rows on library shelves. There can
be no more delightful conjecture
about her marvellous talent or the
fate of Little Billee. The future
reader of this enchanting tale will
merely turn over the pages of the
book and see for himself what hap
pened,

Saturday in celebration of the COM
pletion of harvest. Mrs. Crum' g

to one of the upper rooms in her

she held it to her head and fred
twice. The weapon was held at such
an angle, however, that the bullets in

Kilrain to telegraph his acceptance.
Kilrain, in talking to a reporter,

which seems to be the choice of the
other side, and for any reasonable
purse they may offer. I will also
post my 81 900, but 1 draw the line
at the $3.50 expense business. I will
not be the one to kick on the articles
of agreement, purse or side bet, and
will agree to almost anything except
to pay Slavin $3.50 to come over
here to fight me. Ii he is not salts.

Kilrain has not been satisfied ever
since his defeat by Slavin in a for

IT WAS A FATAL DozE.-L. E.
Washer, fireman, was killed on the
Western Maryland Railroad on the
morning of the 4th by being run over
by freight engine. He was firing
engine At, Amos Bopp, engineman,
on an extra freight train from Ship
pensburg to Hagerstown. When at
the siding at Smithburg his train got
orders to pass there an extra west
bound freight. While waiting on the
train Engineman Bopp and Fireman
Washer went to the siding and lay
down across the rail. They were
very tired and Washer evidently
fell into a doze. Bopp, however,
was awake. The west-bound came
along and in entering the siding ran
over Washer. Bopp barely escaped
the terrible fate of his companion
and crawled out from under the pilot
just in time to save himself. The
engineman on the west bound OF
course knew nothing of the men ~
ing across the track, else the horri-
BILE accident would not have occur
