bloody tragedy was over. The pirates
We're dead and buried. They had re-
qucsted that their bodies should not be
disturbed. The Marshal assured them
that he should do his duty according TO
the law, which required that the remains
Of executed criminals should be properly
inferred after death: but that ne had no
power over them after that was done.
DR.. John Cullen who was at that time
a young practitioner in Richmond, was
permitted TO remove the bodies 10 a room
in the old State armory. There in the
presence Of several other medical men,
electrical experiments were made upon
them. But these were not satisfactory
because the corpses had been too long

Candidate for the Penitentiary.

A strange negro man that came here
with the circus on Monday night was
drunk or devilish, perhaps both, and
after attempting to enter several
houses on East Liberty street, offered
an indignity to a young married lady
whom he saw on the street near her
home. She screamed and ran into
house. Mr.. Charles +. Reininger,
who was at or near his home in the
vicinity, struck the negro with stone
and knocked him senseless-cutting
an ugly cash over one Of his eyes.
The negro was taken to the lookup,
No complaint having been made,
Mayor Brown discharged the negro
with the injunction to leave town i'm
mediately and not to come back again.
CharleStown Free Press.
The same scoundrel was in Shep-
herdstown on Tuesday following up
the circus. He impudently sought to
secure money from many persons, and
his vicious threats against those who
refused him caused several persons To
remain up all night to guard their
property against possible depredations.
Short shrift and a stout rope Is the
remedy for such villains.

Three Men Killed by Gas in Martinsburg.

Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock VIII
liam Barber, Zeph Silver and Zach
Fuller, all colored were killed in a
cesspool of the Continental Hotel, at
Martinsburg, and Charles Walter, also
colored, so overcome by the foul gas
that it is feared he cannot recover.
Barber had the contract for digging a
pit adjoining the one that has been in
use and had almost completed his
work Mr.. David Shafer, one Of the
owner. Of the hotel, had Just given
instructions to Barber to make an
opening between the old and new
pool until within a foot of each other
and in this aperture to run a pipe
Barber called to his assistance the
other negroes, and they descended into
the excavation, which is - feet deep,
by means of ladder. They began to
carry out Mr.. Skaters instructions,
but dug in so far that the sluice and
gas began to escape. They were al
most instantly overcome, Walter not
as much as the other three, and he
managed to get out and give the alarm.
In few minutes hundreds Of men
were on the scene and with grab-hooks,
which they got from the fire depart
ment, began an attempt at rescue.
The men were not yet dead. Groans
were heard, and one of them had as
cended the ladder a few feet and was
heard to fall back. Marcy Price,
mining engineer, attempted to 60 down,
but was pulled back in an exhausted
condition. Others made like efforts,
but met the same fate. The men were
finally gotten out, but every one Of
ehem was dead.

Last Saturday night some evil-dis-
posed person tried to burn the iron
wagon-bridge across the Potomac at
Shepherdstown. The iron-work, how
ever, did not catch. At the entrance

discovered by a passing boatman on
the opposite side ofthe river. He ran
over to this side and aroused Bridge

A part of the framework was con-
sumed. The fire was discovered just
before daylight. There is no clue to

Scarlet Clover.

gave us a handful of scarlet clover
that he had plucked from Major
Blunts farm near the cement mill.
a year or two ago some Of the seed
was sown there, and it is just begin
ming to make a show. This clover is
a native of Italy and is the standard
food for stock in that country, and
also in the southern part Of France,
where it is cut green or made into
hay. Within the past five years it has
become very popular in certain sec
tons of this country and is gradually
becoming disseminated. It is an an
nual grass, perfectly hardy, standing
the winters as we'll as the summers.
1t is sown during August, September
or October and produces crop in five
or six months after sowing. 1t also
affords an early pasture. After now
ing, it continues growing until cold
weather. The flowers, which are
cone shape, are produced in dense
masses of beautiful, dazzling scarlet
color.
