who was twenty-one years of age, OF
Leetown, this county, was found along

which had flowed out of his mouth.
The young man was in the employ OF
B. F. johnson, farmer living near
Hancock Station, and was returning
from a visit to lady residing in the
vicinity of the accident. He was in
the habit of boarding moving freight
trains, and it is supposed he met his
death in attempting to Jump on a
freight train that passed shortly after
he left the house of his friend. The
only mark on the body was slight
scar on the back of his neck. Death
was attributed to conclusion of the
brain. The remains of the unfortu-
nate young man, who was the son of
Mr.. Joseph H. Wageley, were buried

Daughter" was one that afforded much
enjoyment to the large audience that
was present The stage programme
was under the direction of Mrs. NJ. E.
Butler, whose originality in designing
is only equalled by her skill in carry
ing out affairs of this sort. And she
not only managed the entertainment
perfectly, but herself filled an impor-
tant place in the programme by sing
ing several songs. Her highly-culti-
waited voice held the audience SPELL
bound. She was alike charming in
topical songs and classical selections,
her versatility winning her encores as
soubrette and prolonged applause as
prima donna. Her exquisite voice has
never been listened to with more APP
probation than on Friday Mrs. H.
C. Getzendanner, Miss Lizzie Brother
ton, Miss Laura Butler, Miss Daisy
Myers and others also sang very ac-
ceptably, and Miss Lalla Reynolds
gave very sweet recitation. The sum

Getting Ready for the winters Campaign.

The members Of the Ladies Town
Hall Association met at the home of
Mrs. Kate W. Reynolds, the energetic
and capable president, last Monday
evening to map out plan for the
winter campaign. They called into
consultation few of their friends of
the other sex, and the result will, we
think, be effcacious in reducing the
debt upon the town hall. The ladies
formed themselves into combination
which shall provide entertainment
during the coming winter, and at the
same time make money for the hall
fund. Two members of the association
are to take month, and will devise
some plan by which a dollar for each
day will be made. The details were
not entirely finished, but success is
pretty well assured.
At the conclusion of the business
session the guests were invited to the
dining-room, where Mrs. Reynolds had
provided delicious refreshments, and
over good cheer additional enthusiasm
was kindled. The pleasure of the
evening was further augmented by
Rev. G. G. Everhart, who read several
selections in his own inimitable style.
1t was late when the company dis
persed, all feeling the comfortable as
surance that the gathering was pleas
ant and profitable one.
The first entertainment will be given
next Thursday evening, October 10th,
in the town hall. 1t is to be birth
day celebration of a novel sort. Cards
and bags will be distributed, into which
are to be placed penny for each year
of the donors life. These are TO be
collected at the hall Thursday evening.
At that time there will be stage per-
formanee and refreshments will be
served. The public is cordially in
vited. Abundance is free.

Scott Must Hang.

The Charleston Gazette says that
Governor MacCorkle has refused to
commute the sentence of Andrew Scott,
the colored man sentenced to be hung
at Charlestown on Friday Of this week.
A petition was sent from Charlestown
last week to the Governor, asking for
a communication of the sentence. The
petition had about one hundred sign
ers. 1t was accompanied by three at
fdavits and two letters from jurors,
stating that since the trial they have
heard matters leading them to believe
their verdict was wrong. There are
also affidavits of ministers stating that
Scott is weak-minded. The Governor
however, after careful consideration
refused to interfere, and in all proba-
bility Scott will be hung on Friday
The scafold is being erected today
The sentence provides that the priso-
ner shall be hanged between the hours
of 10 a. m. and 2 P. m, and the exc
cution shall be private in the Jall-yard.
