INFANTIcIDE. Another life has
been born into the world only to die
at the hands of a depraved and bru-
tai parent. On Sunday two sons of
Mr.. James Dunn were walking in
what is known as the iron ore field a
part of the boom land, with their
dogs. One of the dogs attracted
their attention by his movements and
going to where he was they found
that he had unearthed the body of a
child wrapped in two newspapers,
one Washington Post and the other
the Martinsburg Herald. Justice
Harrison held an inquest over the
remains, which proved to be those of
a fully developed female child which
had probably been in the ground
from three to five days. In conse-
quence of the discoloration of the
body it could not be practically as
certained whether the child was
white or colored, but the general
opinion of the jury was the former.
There was a black calico string
drawn tightly around the neck and
the verdict of the coroner's jury was
"death by strangulation."

A FORTUNATE EscAPE.-Mc. Geo
D. Pitzer, together with three hands
who were working for him, Mes rs
Harvey Flowers, John Wilburn and
John Seibert, came near meeting
with serious accident, while thresh.
ing wheat in the barn on Mr.. James
Chenowith's farm a few days ago
They were engaged in sacking and
piling up the bags Of wheat as II
came from the machine, when the
overshot of the barn gave way from
the weight and precipitated them
together with over 100 bushels OIL
wheat, distance of twenty feet to
the floor of the barn. They all es
capped injury except Mr.. Pitzer, who
had his leg severely cut from the
knee down.

Our TRIP TO SHEPHERDsTowN.-
Sunday afternoon last by previous
arrangement about Is members of
the Epworth League of the First M.
E. Church, of this city, proceeded in
conveyances to Sheph erd st 0 " n,
where they had been invited by the
League of that place to participate
in public meeting held in the M. E.
Church. About 4.15 the party left
Martinsburg, arriving at Shepherds
town about 6 80. Rev. j. r. Schultz
pastor of the church, met US and
gave us an old time hearty welcome.
Everything was done for our pleas
ure and comfort that could possibly
have been done. The meeting op-
ened at s o'clock, the address Of well
come being delivered by Rev. j. R.
Schultz and the response by Mr.. A.
D. Darby. The visitors certainly
appreciate the kind treatment they
received at the hands of the Shep-
herdstown people and hope in the
near future we may be able to do
likewise. The party returned about
1870 very much pleased with their
trip.

BASE BALL-The base ball enthu-
siasts in Martinsburg who imagined
that the home team is very weak
one were convinced otherwise on last
Friday and Saturday in the games
against the Peck's Athletic Club of
Washington. The game on Friday
was one of the prettiest contests that
has ever occurred on the home
grounds and our club should have
won as they batted and fielded bet
ter than the visitors. Rider pitched
a splendid game and had he been
supported well in the first inning our
team would have won easily. The
score was 9 to 6 in favor of Wash
ington. Brown also pitched fine
game for the visitors and their team
work was of the first class.
Our boys had sweet revenge on
the visitors in Saturdays game and
kept the Washington outfield chasing
the leather all over the northern end
OF the fair grounds. One Of them
remarked after the game was over
that he would have no difficulty in
getting to sleep that night. Bernard
and Shoemaker were knocked out of
the box and Brown, who finished the
game, was hit hard. Besides, the
visitors put up poor fielding game
and their several errors were very
costly. On the other hand Pittinger
pitched finely for the home team and
allowed the visitors but seven safe
hits. He was we'll supported byPit-
yer. Errors by Zimmerman, Lamon
and Young let in five runs and were
indirectly responsible for two more.
Daring base running and home runs
BY the home team were the features
eff the game. Lamon, Pitzer AMI
Zimmerman each made two home
runs and Horner and Young ore
each. The score was % TO 10.

PAINFUL AcCIDENT.-Monday af.
ternoon, while the Presbyterian Sun
day-school, OF Hancock, was holding
its annual pic mic, a sad accident be-
fell Miss Helen Bridges, one OF the
Teachers, who is well known In Mar
tinsburg. She had joined a number
in playing game, and while 10 the
act OF running, stepped 10 hole, dis
locating one of her ankles. After
being conveyed to her home a ply
s.cian wss summoned, and found
that not only had the ankle been
twisted out of place, bit that small
bone was also broken. At the time
she suffered terrific pain, but at pres
ent she is getting along nicely.

SUDDEN DEATH OF APoPLExY.-
Mr.. James Keerans, a resident of
Charlotte, N. c., died suddenly of
apoplexy, on Monday evening at the
st. Clair Hotel, where he has been
staying for the past six weeks. He

and expired moment later. He
had been complaining for several
weeks of i'll feeling, but on Monday
evening within fifteen minutes of the

who live in Charlotte, and his re-
mains were shipped there on Tues
