AN IMMENSE VEIN OF SAND DIS.
COVERED AT BERKELEY SPRINGS AFTER
Four YEARS OF PRosPEoTING.-The
vein of white sand which will be de-
veloped at the Berkeley Springs sand
works is nearly As feet in width and
from 60 to $50 feet in height. 1t is
parallel with the mountain. The
original vein discovered near the
mill, was found to be only seven feet
wide and not of sufficient value to
be developed. The large vein dis
covered about six weeks ago is one
fourth of mile north of the mill
and will be completed this week. The
incline is so gradual that one horse
can pull three tram cars loaded with
sand.
The sand is Of an excellent quail
ty and juts out from the mountain
side. 1t can be mined in great guam
titles at little expense, owing to its
accessibility. The product is pure
white and is equal ii not superior to
the famous Hancock white sand
which finds ready market all over
the country.

PRocToR-MARTIN CONTESTED ELEc-
TIoN.,-The contested election case
before the City Council which has
been gong on for several nights this
week is still unfinished, and will
probably occupy two more sessions
of the Council. Monday night the
hearing of the case begun after
the statement of counsel as to
what they expected to show in the
evidence produced. 1t will be re-
membered that the Council acting
as board of canvassers refused to
count ballot marked with lead
pencil over Mr.. Martins name and
Judge Faulkner, when the. case
came before him on certiorari decid-
ed that the intent of the ballot was
manifest and instructed the Council
to count the same, and the result
was the seating of Mr.. S. G. Proc
ter as member from the First Ward.
Mr.. Jno. W. Martin, then filed notice
of contest claiming that several il
legal votes were cast for Proctor and
these are now before the Council.
Mr.. Martin is represented by Messrs.
W. 81. Fl. Flick and US. G.. Pitzer,
and the contestee by Messrs. Faulkner
and Walker. There are four votes
con tested which Martin claims were
voted for Proctor illegally and there
fore he is entitled to the seat. These
votes were cast by Messrs. Claude
Stewart, Lawrence Montague, Fl. H.
Emmert and H. S. Alexander. 1t is
not charged that there was any in
tention on the part of these gentle
men to cast illegal votes, but that
some voted under mistaken impress
sion. The evidence so far has been
conducted in the cases of 81. L. Alex
ander, Lawrence Montague and
Claude Stewart, though few more
witnesses may be examined. There
have been two sessions of the Coun.
ell, Monday and Wednesday nights;
it is thought the case will be argued
and finally determined on Monday
night next. The witnesses so far
examined are Messrs. A. G. MAIDEN
bousch, A. F. Lambert, Lawrence
Montague, Fl. s. Stewart and R. N.
Stewart. The result of the contest
will be published in our next issue.

G. B. RoUss RoBBED.cChar,es
Broadway Rouss, the dry goods mer-
chant, of New York, said that he
has discovered that he has been sys-
tematically robbed by dozen of his
employees. and that within the past
month fully $4,000 worth of goods
had been stolen from his Broadway
store.
"For a man in my position, these
petty robberies are scarcely worth
talking about. Ny son, Peter, is
looking after the matter. A gang of
our employees, probably a dozen,
worked in concert with gang on
the outside. Their method was to
raise and falsify delivery checks. I
suppose that we have lost $4,000 in
this way during the past year and as
far as can be figured, up $4,000
during the past MONTH

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

Mt. CLIFTON, THE EXCELLENT SUM
MER RESORT OF Mr.. TRIP PAYNE, AT
HEDGEsvILLE, ENTIRELY CONSUMED BY
FLAMEs.-Mount Clifton the leading
family resort Of this section was
totally destroyed by fire about six
o'clock Tuesday morning. The fire
occurred before most of the guests
were awake, and some of them bare
ly escaped from the flames. The
citizens and neighbors made every
effort to save the building, but the
flames made too much Roadway and
they were compelled to abandon
the building to its fate and save the
adjoining property, which if it had
caught might have destroyed much
other property. The fire originated
in the kitchen from defective chin
ney and destroyed entirely both
large buildings, wash house and ice
house, and the largest part of the
furniture, wearing apparel, etc. The
boarders escaped with most of their
belongings and Mrs. Cunningham
saved u large part of her furniture.
The main part of this property was
built by Mr.. NJ. G. Nadenbouscb,
ex-Sherlff of Berkeley county, about
25 years ago, then 40 feet square.
Since Mr.. Payne has owned it he has
spent a considerable amount of
money in adding to this and building
another large house and improve
ments. The other house was 65xl7
feet. Total loss will be $4,000 or
$1,000. Insurance about So 500 in
the agency of Herbert L. Alexander.

Mr.. M. P. Moller, who lost $780,

works at Hagerstown last week by
fire, may sue the Mayor and Council
of Hagerstown for damages. He

matter, and number of prominent
lawyers say that Mr.. Moller has a
good case against the town. Owing
TO an insufficient number of fire-plugs
in that locality the firemen could not
check the fire. There was only one
plug and that was so far away that
it required the combined hose OF

JOHN W. RoUsH, A POPULAR AND
PROMISING YOUNG MAN, DEAD.-At
Rosemont, the residence of his
parents, short distance west of the
corporate limits, the death of Mr..
John W. Rousch occurred on We'd
nesday last, about l o'clock. Mr..
Roush had not been i'll for q long
time, and until a day or two before,
his case had not been considered
serious, but on Tuesday he became
aIarmingly i'll, and several physicians
were summoned for a consultation.
An operation for appendicitis was
considered necessary and on Tues
day it was performed by Drs. W. S.
Love, of Winchester, and J. W. Nc
Sherry, of this city. After the
operation the young man seemed
much better, but a relapse set in,
from which he did not recover. The
operation for appendicitis is dam
gerous, but not necessary fatal one,
and it was owing to the infamed
condition of the bowels and portion
@um that death ensued.
The funeral took place Friday
afternoon at two o'clock, conducted
from the house by Rev. F. j. Pretty.
man, Of the Southern Methodist
Church. W. II. Wilen was funeral
director and interment was made in
Green Hill cemetery.
The surviving members of the
family are the father and mother,
sister and brother to whom in their
deep affection goes out the sympathy
not only of friends but of the entire
community. John was popular
young man, whom everyone knew
to like. Cut off in the bud of prom.
Using manhood, his death is a sad
affection to the family.

THIEVES AT THE INwooD FAIR

Thursday night, when those who were
tenting on the grounds at Inwood,
were sound asleep, after a tiresome
days work, sneak thieves made a
very successful raid. The residence
of Mr.. Jno. Staub was entered and
three watches stolen. Mr.. Claude
Stewart, son of Mr.. Robt. Stewart,
who was sleeping in tent with his
clothes hanging up, had $50 and
some small change stolen from his
vest pocket. The manager of Kelly's
Dime Museum, Mr.. Herd. lost his
entire wardrobe, including two suits
of silk tights. Explosives were used
in breaking open several of the heavy
trunks. Ernest, son of ex-senator
Unger, of Morgan county, who was
camping with party of young men
from this city, had his valise, con-
tanning his clothes and $3.50, taken
from the tent while he slept. The
general impression is that this thiev-
ing was done by regularly organic
ed band Of sneak thieves, who make
q business Of pilfering.
