Miners Plot Fooled.

A press special Sunday from Poca-
hontas to the Richmond Times says
news of bold plot on the part of the
miners to capture the military camp
train and run it out of Pocahontas,
and probably wreck it with all the
troops aboard, transpired to-day.
The diabolical plan was concocted,
and every arrangement made to secure
the whole train of cars at night and
run it out across the State line.
An engineer acknowledged to-day
that he was to be paid $50 to run the
engine. The affair was learned of by
Baldwin's men, and one of them de-
tached all the cars of the train from
each other and awaited developments.
Later on the strikers arrived, and were
preparing themselves to carry the
devilish plot into execution, but found
that the cars were detached, and three
men were arrested while in the act of
coupling them together. Thus the
plot was nipped in the bud, and prob
able catastrophe averted.

who had been murdered, Louis Dor

married at Quincy, Fla, last Wednes-
day afternoon.
In an ARRAY Wednesday morning
Fired" Cox was cut to the heart by
ED Higgins and killed. The body
was taken to Coroner Pittman's Office
| and an inquest begun. The proceed
ings were interrupted by the entrance
of Mr.. Dorneck and Miss Gore who
begged Coroner Pittman to marry
them at once.
The coroner had been showing the
jury the wound in the murdered mans
breast and his hands were bloody. He
suggested more appropriate place
| for the ceremony, but Mr.. Dorneck
explained that Miss Cores father was
in pursuit and that delay would be
| dangerous, and Coroner Pittman
| hastily said the words that made the
couple one.
AS the groom handed the marriage
license to the coroner the blood on the
fingers of the latter made stain on
| the document.
The bride did not seem affected by
the surroundings. She is the daughter
of wealthy cigar manufacturer and
the groom is one of her fathers en-
ployees.

Smallpox.

As there was some difference of opinion as
to the eruptive disease which has attacked a
portion of our citizens-all colored but two-a
meeting was held at which the City Council
were requested to direct the Board of Health
to secure the attendance here of a government
expert to examine the patients with the view
of determining whether or not the disease was
smallpox The Board of Health accordingly
telegraphed for such expert. and DR.. J. M.
Rosenau, past assistant surgeon United States
Marine Hospital service, was promptly sent,
who examined those afflicted with the disease,
and decided that it was small pox, and that
DIR. Catlett was treating them properly. Pre-
cautious were taken by the authorities to pre-
vent the spread of the disease by isolating those
affected and those in the infected district, and
by the universal vaccination and re-vaccina-
ton of the citizens who were not affected.
These precautions rigidly enforced will soon
rid the city of the disease. 1t is the duty of
all not only to themselves, but to others to be
vaccinated whether they have been vaccinated
before or not

VACCINATION IN THE COUNTY.
Action of the Board of Supervisors.


At meeting of the Board of Supervisors OF
the county, held at the courthouse last Satur-
day afternoon. in view of the danger of small
pox, and to prevent the same, it was ordered
that all persons residing in the county be vac
cinated without delay.
A resolution was then adopted giving the
county physician charge of the execution OF
the foregoing order.
If any person in the county shall fail or re-
fuse, upon the application of the county physi-
clan or any of his assistants, to be vaccinated
in obedience to this order he shall be fined $40.
And if any married woman or infant shall re-
fuse to be yaccinated the fine shall be assessed
against the husband or father, as the case may
be.
Mr. Forrer read a letter from A. H. Fultz
mayor of the city of Staunton, asking permits
sion of the board to establish quarantine
grounds in the county of Augusta under Sec
ton 1874 of the Code of 1887, to be used by
persons suspected with the disease of small
pox On consideration the board agreed to
grant said permission with the understanding
that if necessary the same grounds shall be
used by the county for quarantine purposes
The order provides that the city is to build
the houses needed for her suspects and the
county to do the same for its suspects, and all
other expenses incurred to be paid pro rata by
the city and county.
On motion of Mr. Forrer, Messrs. Smiley,
Crawford and Burnett were appointed COM
mittee to superintend the erection of all neces-
sary buildings and purchase the necessary sup
plies, including clothes, etc.

How to make Good Coffee.

Mrs. Lemcke, the famous cooking lecturer,
served Russian coffee the other day to heI
class in New York. Her way of making it,
says the Norfolk Landmark, is to put per
forated funnel into the coffee pot, and a
pointed unbleached muslin or linen bag into
the funnel. Into this bag she put one table
spoonful of pulverized coffee to two cups OF
water. The water, which must be boiling
was added little by little, and the teacher
cautioned her class never to let coffee boil
for she declares that that not only spoils the
fine favor, but that boiled coffee is very bad
for the digestion.
Good coffee is worthy to be dignified by an
editorial notice, for it is. perhaps the mos
delightful of all exhilarating stimulants, and
while it always cheers it never inebriates.-
The great and discouraging thought about il
is that so few cooks or housewives can make
it fit to drink. 1t takes an artist to make il
right, and yet the art is as simple as can be-
the art of observing ruleland of close atten
ton to business-perhaps the greatest of all

Smallpox HOSPITAL ,

The city authorities having determined to
build a smallpox hospital outside of the city
limits, selected site on the lands of John
Kroder about mile east of Staunton, and put
carpenters to work on the buildings, but VIM.
Glenn, who lives on the lands, and is engaged
in the sale of milk, fearing it would iujure his
business applied, through his counsel, Chas.
Curry. to Judge Mclaughlin, for an injunc-
ton to restrain the authorities from erecting
the hospital there, and, on learning this, the
city authorities selected site on the south
side of the New Hope road on the hill, out of
view of the road, about mile east of Staun-
ton, where the work of erecting the buildings
is now going on, and in a short while the
smallpox patients will be removed there
from the present hospital on the south end of
Green street.
P. S.-After the above was put in type, the
Bodley Wagon Works Company and others
made, through their counsel, application to
Judge Mclaughlin for an injunction to re-
strain the city from building temporary
smallpox hospital on the second site selected,
the land for which the city has arranged to
purchase.
The hearing commenced at o'clock yester
day, but was not completed and the court ad-
journed till o'clock this morning

For the SPECTATOR
Cons, der the Opportunity.

The announcement that the Staunton
Spectator is for sale, will strike its devoted
readers with deep solicitude for its future. II
has for so many years been closely identified
with the prosperity and honor of the county
of Augusta and the city of Staunton that its
name has been almost a synonym of BOTH
Every citizen of either feels proud to claim an
identity with them and justly so.
The Spectator, for generations, has been
the exponent and organ of the great central
county and town of the State. 1t has borne
on its pages the wise, learned and patriotic
sentiments of their distinguished sons and
has constituted the educator and leaders of a
noble constituency as has ever fallen to the
lot of any political and country newspaper
The people of Augusta and Staunton have
been its confiding pupils, who have illustrated
by the history they have made, the patriot
ism, virtue and intelligence of its teaching
A recognition and expression of gratitude
rises in the breast of those who have been so
long associated with the clean and bright
pages of the Spectator, in the privacy of the
family circle and the associations of the cult
waited and refined. The Spectator has not
abused, but illustrated the constitutional
theory of free press and followed the lead
in spirit of the illustrious Franklin, the father
and leader of American printers.
In its long career the Spectator has had but
few editors and the property has changed
hands but seldom. 1t was a distinguished
honor and carried with it great response
bility to edit the Spectator: to foster the
schools, academies, seminaries and the be-
nevolent organizations as they sprung up
from time to time and advocate the location
of the State institutions which are at Staun.
ton.
Of the distinguished editors we mention
the names of Gen. Kenton Harper, Jos. A.
j. L. Waddell and R. Mauzy, whose
labors will be gratefully remembered by the
lovers of pure literature and unselfish
patriotism.
The apology for this scant allusion, at this
place and time, is a long enjoyment of the
advantages of frst-class paper, which has
been the early mentor of our people and has
given them reputation for thrift, intelli-
gence and patriotism. A history of this asso-
ciate of our ancestors would be very accepta-
BILE to their posterity and valuable contribu-
ton to the archives of the county and town.
