THEIR BOTH ANNIvERsARY.-The
Knights of Pythias of Washington
Lodge No. / of this place held a
public meeting at the Central Opera
House on Monday night to celebrate
the 30th birthday of the order. Not
withstanding the inclemency of the
weather large audience was present
and enjoyed the speeches of the ev-
ening. The Knights met at their
Castle Hall, and escorted by Davies
Division Of the Uniform Rank and
the Martlnsburg City Band marched
from thence to the Court House,
ountermarched along Queen street
to the Central Opera House. The
meeting was presided over by Mr.. III
Dew. Gerhardt who introduced the
speakers. Rev. j. A. Chamberlin, a
member of the Lodge, opened with
prayer and was followed by selec-
ton played by the City Band. Rev.
VIM. Gerhardt, also member OF this
lodge, probably the oldest in years,
and surely the first in service in West
Virginia, wearing proudly the badge
presented to him years ago for his
long and faithful service 10 the or.
der, was the first to speak, taking
the subject "Our 30th Anniversary
His closing words "Will it ever
end?" had in them world of feeling
and his beautiful peroration was on
ly surpassed by his feeling showing
his love for the order. "Damon and
Pythias the true story of them }"
was the theme of Mr.. U. S. G.. Pit
yer, and from alpha to omega deep
hush marked the avidity with which
his hearers dwelt upon his glowing
and accurate description, and drank
in the story upon which the order
was founded. Mr.. Pitzer, also q
member of Washington Lodge, is an
eloquent talker, but this time his elo-
quence surpassed itself Rev. DR.. A.
M. Cackley, pastor of Trinity NJ. E..
Church (South) of this place, mem
Der of the K. of P. from Lexington,
a former field of labor, Then in a short
address spoke of the Endowment
Rank and the only fault we can
find with his speech was that it was
too short. The DR.. is fun loving
and fun making christian gentleman.
That is an odd way of putting it
but all who heard him can appreciate
the truth of it. The music was fur
nished by the Martinsburg City
Band under the direction OF Prof. j.
o. Brockenshire, and one of his Sc
lections was "Contest Polka" a
clarinet solo by Mr.. Brockenshire,
which came in for full share of the
applause.
The Knights Of Pythias will have
no more delightful occasion to re-
member than this, and all were high
ly gratiied with what they heard
and saw.

SHOT IN THE EYE While In the
act of drawing back the hammer of
cat rifle in the rear of the saloon
of Mr.. Peter Mouse, on Monday
evening, the hammer slipped from
the hands of Mr.. Hartel, who was
going to shoot rat and the contents
ola small shot cartridge entered the
face of Mr.. Mouse just over the eye.
Mr.. Mouse was at once removed to
his home and an examination reveal
ed that one shot had penetrated the
eye-lid failing to strike the eye-b ball
by hairs breadth. The other shot
entered above. The wound is a SER
ious one and will disable Mr.. Mouse
for some time. It is miracle that
his entire sight was not destroyed.
1t is one more lesson to those who
are promiscuous in the handling OF
firearms, and should never be for
gotten. We hope Mr.. Mouse will
recover rapidly.

LOSES HIS ToNGUE.-His love for
experimenting has brought a terri.
BILE affection upon little Harry Y oder .
While at school at Hazleton Pa, en-
Monday he heard some one speak of
horse having his tongue peeled by
rutting it against frosted covered
iron. The lad became curious and
resolved TO test it himself. Not
wishing to be seen, he waited until
s O'Clock at night and sought an un
frequented place near the corner of
Vine and Chestnut streets. He
was unable to release himself after
putting his tongue against an iron
awning pole. 1t was nearly an hour
until he was discovered by officer
Wersinger. After much difficulty
he was COTTON away, but minus Of the
greater part of his tongue. The boy
cannot speak, and it is feared his
speech will never be perfectly re-
stored.

A MURpERER's FuNERALSERyrcE


Daniel Gilchrist was hanged at
Rockingham, N. c., the other day
for the murder of his father-in: law.
There was no question of guilt and
a great crowd came to the hanging
as is usual in that unciy1lized com
munity. There was a minister there
to hold an anticipatory funeral SER
vice and preach little sermon; f; r
he took the text: Il haze fought a
good fight; l have finished my
course; have kept the faith; and
then he gave out the hymn Servant
of God, well DONE" And it was a
white minister and white murderer.
Really, we think something more
appropriate might have been selec-
ted. That minister seems to have a
sense of the ludicrous which would
fit him to edit Punch.

THE GREAT SoUsA's BAND.-Early
in March this renowned OF.
ganization is to he heard here In con-
cert. This band pleases, and even
intensely delights, all who hear it !;
and even that careful musical critic,
W. S. B. Matthews, editor of "Mus-
ic," the reliable Chicago musical
magazine, says of it in his January
issue:
When was hearing Sousa's Band
at the Trocadero lately | tried to
remember whether it was better or
as good as the famous French band
of the Grade Republicaine, which
played at the Peace Jubilee in 1872.
This was twenty years ago, and
have heard great deal of Susie
since that time. But to me. as to
many Others. it seemed as if Sousa
had attained standard of finished
and sympathetic intelligence such as
had never before recognized in a
military band. Be that as it may
there is no musician but will enjoy
the playing of this fine body of ar
lists, no matter what they play"
