wedding chorus from "Tannhauser"
by Wagner, and made their exit.
They were driven Immediately to the
home OF the bride, on West Burke

for bridal tour were made. They
left on train number 8, at 11.47

MARTrNsBURG's New Posr OFFIc

MARTINsBURG's New Posr OFFICE.
May LIST was gala day on King
street, and in fact throughout the
city, that day being the occasion of
the opening of the new U. S. Court
House and Post Office. Early in
the morning the Curtis City Band :,
generously employed by the King
street merchants rendered concert
from to I O'Clock, after which the
mails were formerly opened for de-
livery from the new quarters. The
night previous Postmaster Boyer
had a force of hands removing every
thing from the old office in the Peo-
Piles Bank Building, and arranging
for the next morning. Mr.. Boyer,
and his employees, John Meadows,
Jack North and VIM. Stephens have
placed everything in elegant shape,
and the P. o. Department is model
of neatness and comfort. The office
is the finest in the State, and its fur
nishings are all of the latest designs
Over 900 lock boxes are arranged in
the west end, the general delivery
and stamp window is in the centre
front, and to the east are the regis
tered letter and money order de-
partments. The postmaster's pri-
vate Office is in the southeastern
part of the first floor, and from it is
commanded a view of every one Of
the working departments. On the
second floor are the offices of the
various government officers located
in this place, together with closets
and private rooms. On the third
floor are the Court room proper, the
judges private room, witness and
jury departments.
Throngs of people crowded the
building all day Wednesday, led
thither for their mail, to secure lock
boxes, or through curiosity. In the
evening the Curtis Band rendered
another program from I to $50, and
several speeches were made, Capt.
Colston and U. S. G. Pitzer, repre-
senting the citizens and giving hon.
or to whom honor is due. Senator
Faulkner, to whom Martinsburg is
indebted for the location of the us
Court at this place, and the subse
quent appropriations being made fol
the erection of the handsome build
ing, was not present, but the thank:
of the people are due him, and thu
building will in the future stand a:
o monument to his interest in til,
city and its people.
Mr.. G. W. Boyer, in addition tt
being postmaster, is also the custo
dian of the building, and the jaHito
and other employees will be under
| his supervision.

A HUSBAND KILLS HIS WIFE AND
HER LovER.-On Tuesday at Louis
vile, KY, A. D. Brown and Mrs.
Nellie Gordon were shot and killed
by Mrs. Browns husband. All the
parties are of the best Kentucky
families, and q greater sensation new
er existed in the State than that
created by the shooting.
By previous arrangement Brown
met Mrs. Gordon at the house of
Lucy B. Smith, and both were shown
to an upstairs room. A short time
a1terward Mr.. Gordon sought and
gained admission to lower room.
The inmates of the house knew moth
ing further until repeated shots of
revolvers showed that q tragedy had
been enacted. The shots were fol-
lowed by the appearance of Mrs.
Gordon, who fled to the rear yard.
She was followed by her Lu~ band
who shot her several times IN sue
cession. Gordon was arrested.
An examination ofthe upper room
showed evidences of terrible fight.
Gordon had no difficulty in getting
into the room, as the hall door was
left unattached. Brown had a So
calibre revolver, which was found
empty after the tragedy. Gordon
must have had two pistols, as six
bullets pierced Browns body and
three that of Mrs. Gordon.
Mr.. Gordon was covered with
blood, most Of which doubtless was
the result of contact with his wound
ed antagonist. What part, if any,
Mrs. Gordon took in the encounter
her husband is not in a position to
say. Two bullets are imbedded in
the door, several went through q
window which faced the north, three
are buried in the wall and two in the
ceiling. The walls are smeared with
blood. The diney carpet on the
floor was saturated with blood, and
the furniture was badly broken in
the fray.
Browns body was covered with
blood from head to loot The only
clothing on the body was a pair Of
knit drawers and black pair Of
socks. There were three pistol-shot
wounds in the breast, one of them
being over the region OF the heart
two in the head, ore being in the
centre Of the forehead, and there wa:
another in the centre OF the stomach
and still another in the right arm
The features were distorted.
Mrs. Gordon's body was fount
face downward, clothed only in skirt
chemise and stockings.
The coroner's jury held an inques
over both bodies shortly afterwards
and rendered a verdict of justi6abl,
homicide.

CROP BULLETIN.-Ve getation has
developed wonderfully during the
past week, making greater growth
in single week than during the
whole previous season. Correspon-
dents vary in their reports relative
TO the effect of the weeks weather
upon the growing crops. In many
sections rain is needed and their the
crops have not made the growth ex-
pected from the increase in heat and
sunshine, so that while they are not
injured, they are not making equal
growth with the crops in the sections
favored with rain. In the uplands
this is especially true and wheat ard
grass is yet backward, the latter be-
ing too short to turn cattle upon.
Other correspondents say all the
crops are in good condition and
growing finely. Corn planting is in
progress pretty generally through
out the state, and some say that one
third of the crop has been planted
and early patches are above ground.
A few correspondents note that the
ground on the hills is too hard and
dry, interfering with its preparations
for the crop. The outlook for large
apple crop is excellent and some
peaches may be raised. Gardens
are doing well and promise a good
yield. On the whole, the crop con-
dition is good.

QUICK SERvlCE.-Tbe employees
at the post Office are doing most ex
cellent and quick work considering
the fact that they have everything
new to learn. Tho public, we are
glad, to say, has been very consider
ate, and really no fault can be found
with the young men in charge of the
Martinsburg mails, and postal deliv-
cry. When we come to consider
that almost all of the 900 lock boxes
are rented, that nearly all of the rem
tiers changed numbers, that many of
them are new renters, it is greatly
to be wondered that they have been
SO successful as they are. Within
a short time the postal service in
Martinsburg will be 100 per cent
more effective than ever.

FIRE AT HEDdEsvILLE.-The dwell
ing of Mr.. Walter Vermilyea into
which he recently moved in the town
of Hcdgesviile was discovered to be
on fire on Saturday morning last
about I o'clock. The fire started in
the kitchen and when discovered was
making such Roadway that those pre-
sent at once gave up hope of saving
the house and made sure of the fur
niture by carrying it all out. About
this time new help came along; they
tackled the flames with zeal and the
result was that the house was saved
with the exception of the rear por-
ton where the fire started. At one
time it looked as though there would
be serious and destructive confag-
ration.
