In ACTIVE
Gallant Company e Promptly
Responds.

Last Friday was an exciting day i'll
military circles in this city. Capt.
Emmert had orders from the Adjutant
General Of the State to hold his men
in readiness togo at a moments notice.
The brave boys arranged their affairs,
babe an affectionate farewell to wives
and sweethearts and at 4:3o Saturday
morning departed on a special train
for Grafton, and from thence to Fair
mont, the State headquarters.
After a short rest, they pushed on
to Boggs Run and went into camp on
its classic banks, when their active
service begun. Reports have come
back of their good department and
soldierly bearing, carrying joy and
gladness to the breasts of their adj
lnirers. From the best information
obtainable no one has been killed,
wounded, or missing. 1t was said
that capt. Enlfnert was IN
the hand but we are happy to know il
was a false alarm.
Martinsburg is proud of Company
f. She knows that her reputation
is safe in the keeping of men who SC
promptly respond to the call of the
State, and when "they come march
ing home again." she will receive
them with open arms.
When the cruel strike is over and
peace reigns at Boggs Run, then, and
not till then, will the ~voracious Ohio
River mosquito to feed on the
rich blood of the Valley, and the
hearts of the home folks thrill witt
delight. In the meantime all we car
do is to possess our souls in patience

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

One ofthe prettiest and most inter-
esting weddings that has ever been
witnessed in this city was that Of two
of the most popular young people Of
the town, Mr.. Edward Rutledge and
Miss Minnie Woodruff. which took
place in Trinity Episcopal Church
Tuesday morning at II O'Clock. The
beauty of the bride and the good looks
of the groom adding eclat to the occa-
sion. The church had been beautifully
decorated by the young lady friends of
the bride with potted plants and cut
flowers. until the recess chancel re-
sembled a veritable bower of roses.
There was a novelty in the arrange
ments which relieved the monotony
of most wedding ceremonies. 1t was a
lavender and white wedding. When
the bride arrived at the church door
the maid of honor, Miss Mamie Rut-
ledge, a sister of the groom, dressed
in white organdie trimmed with 1aven-
der satin, with white hat trimmed with
crepe and v~iolets, followed by two
flower boys. Horace Gard and Harold
Trump in white duck, trimmed with
lavender ribbon, and two flower girls.
Virginia Geyer and Vivian Westall
wearing white organdie also trimmed
with lavender satin ribbons, with
the ushers Messrs Robert Lamon, Jr.,
James Rearick, Scott G. Ramer and
M. G.. Tabler bringing up the rear,
marched from the chancel down the
aisle to meet the bride. They then
marched back in reverse order follow
ed by the bride most becomingly at
tired in a gown of white crepe and
lavender satin, wearing a hat trimmed
with feathers and crepe and carrying
a white kid prayer book, to the solemn
strains of the wedding march played
by Prof. Brockenshire. When the
procession reached the chancel steps
it opened and allowed the bride and
maid Of honor to pass through where
they were met by the groom aud his
best man, Mr.. A. c. Nadenbousch.
The happy couple were then united in
the holy bonds of matrimony according
to the impressive ritual of the Episco-
pal Church, by Rey. Henry Thomas,
and the solemn words pronounced
Whom God hath joined together let
no mar put assunder."
Afterthe ceremony the bridal couple
repaired to the home of the bride.
where after DOMINIC her travelling
dress they proceeded to the B. & o.
depot to take the train for the east in
tending to go to Washington, thence
to Old Point and probably by sea to
Boston. May the richest blessing of
Heaven attend them through life.

ents of many very handsome and use

The Dunkards hold meetings at
Ridenour schoolhouse semi-monthly,
and last Sunday they had a crowded
house, many members from our way
having been added to the church. No
pomp, no show, no airs, very little
preparation needed for their ministry,
Pulpit eloquence not the rule but the
exception. yet the Dunkard net catches
the most fishes. Are they better
Christians than other denominations ?
| cannot think so. Is God then best
pleased by a worship that costs moth
ing? Is not the ''laborer worthy OF
his hire Can it be simplicity of
dress, lack of adornment, love of same
ness of color and form? oh. this can
not be; else why did God, with an ev-
ident love for variety of form and
color. cut the leaves Of different shapes
and sizes, paint the flowers with rain
bow colors and their countless tints ?
Oh, now I have it! The bait that
lands the fish into the gospel net
their love and sympathy for one an
other! Their members do not wear
North-Pole airs or sweep their silken
skirts with a shiver of fear, lest their
delicate folds come in contact with
your calico dress. They see you when
you enter their church. There is a
welcome almost as affectionate as that
given by the home circle. extended to
you whenever they meet. We have

Absolutely objectionable.

The placid countenance of the good
natured drum major of the City Band
was considerably ruffled Thursday
wler he read an item in the World
criticising the fit of the new uniforms
which the band donned for the first
time Wednesday morning. The Of
Tense committed by the World is
wholly inexcusable. The fit of the
uniform is just as essential to the we'll
being OF a band as the tone Of the in
struments, and he who criticises the
one ISLANDERS the other. The Herald
asserts, the World to the contrary,
that the new uniforms fit first-rate and
would advise our contemporary to
hereafter be sure it is right, then 60
ahead, but never criticise the fit Of
band uniforms.

A Narrow Escape.

Mr.. Conrad Cline met with an acct
dent last week which might have
resulted fatally. He was repairing
one of the elevators at the Hannis Dis
tillery, and was in the act Of remov-
ing a wheel from the running gear at
the top of the elevator shaft, but fail
ed to have it securely blocked, when
the cage came up like a flash of light
ming imprisoning him between the
machinery and the cage, which fortu-
nately settled back to its former posi-
ton releasing him with two badly
lacerated fingers and a severe scalp
wound.

Prof. Cox left Wednesday for his
home in Brooke County.
The superintendent-elec ome
highly recommended as a teacher and
scholar. He taught several years at
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and has been at
Yale College for the past two or three
years.
The colored people also desire a
change in the teachers Of the colored
school. While the present principal
has done fairly we'll, they feel that an
injustice was done them some years
ago and now ask that the wrong be
righted.
Some of the speeches were quite
self-laudatory, others indicated a per-
sonal grievance, but the great MAORI
ty expressed a strong desire that the
Board should look to the best Interests
of the schools regardless of individu-
ais.
The Board wants to complete its
work in the High School by the selec-
ton of a humane teacher instead of
that man Rinker. A teacher who is
so lost to decency as to publicly beat
young ladies has no business in the
schools of the city.
Prof. Cox charges his defeat to Hon.
Geo. M. Bowers, Mr.. Luther Miller,
and the editor of the Herald. MI.
Miller was quite outspoken against
Mr.. Cox, Mr.. Bowers said he was there
to see the fun, and the Herald mar
had no idea he would be SO regarded,
as there was a number of gentlemen
present who applied their hatchets
vigorously and feel that they did it.

where it belongs-on his own Shout

AN INTERESTING OCCASION
The Board of Education had an ex-

Inc board OF Educatior mad an ex-
citing session Monday evening. 1t
being the time fixed for the selection
of teachers, there was a goodly crowd
present, the interest centering in the

tine business, the appointment of

mont, and Mr.. A. b. Carman, Of Yale
College. The several applications and
recommendations werer cad, afterwhich
Mr.. Grozinger, president pro tempore.
invited gentlemen present to express
themselves fully, as he understood
there were those present who wished
to be heard. A number Of gentlemen
discussed the SUPPLEMENTARY ques-
ton FRO and con, and when through it
was difficult to determine who had the
better of the argument.
A ballot was then had and Mr.. Car
mar was elected by a vote of four to
one. On motion the election of a
teacher in place of Mr.. Rinker, and
teachers for the colored school was de-
ferred until the next meeting. 1t is
generally understood that changes
will be made in at least two of the
three cases.
