when Thompson fired two shots from
a 5S-caliber revolver. both shots TAX

thigh just below the hip bone and
passing through the flesh, inside the
thighbone, perforated the skin but re-
manned in the wound. The other en-
tered the right thigh. near the groin,
just exterior Of the femoral artery an |

bare half inch to the left the artery
would have been cut and death woul1
have ensued.
McKeivey was taken into the saloon
and Dr. J. w. McSherry was called.
DR.. WI II. Henshaw arrived soon after.
Both physicians examined the wound
ed man and finding that he was in no

Voters Indicted.

The Jefferson County grand jury
last week indicted some half dozen
colored men for alleged illegal voting
Their cases were set for trial Monday
and Messrs. Z. S. g. Pitzer and J. n.
Wisner went down for the purpose Of
defending them. Mr.. Wisner being
delayed, the brunt of the battle fell
upon Mr.. Pitzer, who asked for con-
tinuance until the February term,
which was granted by Judge Faux
ner. The accused parties were each
held in $500 bail, which was readily
given by white Republicans who pro-
pose that they shall have fair show
for their liberty.
1t may transpire that some white
men are in the same boat as those OIL
African descent and in all probability
certain parties who voted the Demo
cratic ticket will have an opportunity
to defend themselves.

Martinsburg Methodists in the
Front Rank.

At congregational meeting OF the
members of the First Methodist Epis-
copal church of this city Monday
evening, an entirely new financial
system was adopted by which the
monetary affairs of the church are
placed in the hands of a committee
and which will dispense with begging
and special collections SO common in
churches. Every interest OF the
church is provided for and all will
fare alike.
One feature of the new departure
and that which will be most pleasing
to the people in general is the very
handsome advance in the salary of the
pastor, which is Iaised to $500 per
year, placing the church in the lead
in this {f'redeIick) district and insur-
1 ing a continuation of the highly
appreciated services of Rev. Shields.
The unanimity which prevailed was
remarkable, there not being a single
dissenting voice, indicating clearly
that Martinsburg Methodists know a
good thing when they have it in their
grasp and propose in this instance to
retain it.

 CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The conference to- day between Edward Lloyd Webster of the Sioux City Athletic club and Peter Jack son, the object of which was to have Jack son sign the articles of agreement for a fight with Corbett, which articles have already been signed by the latter, ended In the refusal Of Jackson to put his name to such an agreement.

HIS HOLINESS AND KING HUMBE ERT TO BE-

 LONDON, Sept. 11.-Under the caption of 'Pons Pontificis'' the Pail Mall Gazette prints an article with the object of showing that Premier Crispi is rapidly approaching a reconciliation between the king and the pope. Last Thursday, the article says, Signor Crispi's private secretary had a long interview with Cardinal Rampola, the former being the first Italian official who has visited the vatican since 1870.
 This visit, the Gazette asserts, begun a series of negotiations, the result ot wh ich are shown in the pope's prompt establish ment of an apostolic prefecture in Masso- wah, immediately following which King Humbert gave his assent to his appoint ment of Cardinal Sarto, the pope's nominee to the office of patriarch Of Venice, con- cerning which appointment there has been prolonged disagreement between the vat ican and quirinal.
 The most significant incident of all, h ow ever, is the act of Signor Crispi going out of his way in his speech at Naples yester- day to compliment Cardinal Sanfelix, the rich bishop of Naples, and to summon the church and state to join their forces against the common enemy. The presence of Car dinal Sanfeix on the platform, says the Gazette, betokened the willingness of the pope to come to terms.

The line which it is said he will build is from halIa. large part of the line is already graded, and should Vanderbilt build the road it will decrease the distance between Cincinnati and the south Atlantic coast over 100 miles.

 WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The statistican of the United States department of agri- culture reports the receipt of sundry tele- grams asking for explanation or additional figures to the crop report of Monday. Mir. Robinson declares that he does not feel at liberty to furnish additional figures or ex- plantations to individual inquirers. If needed at all to supplement and make clear the reports given to the public by the press associations, such supplementary explana- tions should be made through the same far reaching agencies for the benefit of all per- sons interested. For this reason no an- swers are sent to individuals and the statis- tician regrets the appearance of discourtesy.
 The only inquiry to which any reply seems desirable refers to the second para graph of the corn report, iu which refer ence is made to an aggregate of over 40,- COG, ,000 acres in eight states, which are stated to have been cut up or abandoned. The inquiry was as to whether the condi- tion of corn given in the first paragraph was estimated on the entire acreage planted, including the acreage 90 cut up or aban- doned, or exclusive of the latter. The statistician states that careful re- e-readlng of the report shows the meaning quite clearly, but to enlighten those who thlnk otherwise he will state that the estimate of conditions is upon the acreage of condi- tions standing, not including that cut up or abandoned.

GOVERNMENT rMpIoYEs GOING TO ASH


 LAND DISTRICT TO VOTE.
 WAsHINaToN, Sept. 11.-About seventy five or eighty government clerks, employed by the treasury and war departments and government printing office, left Washing ton this afternoon over the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad for their homes in the Sev. enth Congressional district of Kentucky to lend their energies to the support of Col. w. o. P. Breckinridge in his coming fight at the primaries Saturday next for renomi- nation to congress in the Seventh Ken lucky district.
 At the office of the railroad company men were busy buying tickets. To a reporter one said: You see we don't travel on passes, but pay our way. Another thing, we go unsolicited by Colonel Breckinridge, but of our own free will and accord, and we intend to see his silvery hairs again in the house of representatives.
 Another party of about forty government employees will leave Washington Thurs day with the same object in view. In the party will be seyersl officials in the depart meptd.
