DIED From AN OVER DOSE OF
LAUDANUM.-Mr. Allen G. Ting
strum, well-known in this city, died
last Sunday afternoon, at his home
ON South Maple avenue. His death
was caused by an over dose of lauda-
mum. and the unintentional suicide
was a shock to his family and ac-
quaintances. Mr.. Tingstrum was a
sufferer from kidney complaint and
the only relief he could get was from
laudanum. He had been in the habit
of taking the drug, but never before
was there any serious results from
its use. 1t is thought that he became
careless in the use OF the medicine,
and in taking a dose last Saturday
night, he swallowed too much. The
effects of it, however, we're not visi-
bic until sometime after. He talked
to his children until bed time, and
was awake frequently during the
night. It was shortly after day
break that he dropped into a slum-
UGE tloA WHICH ue u6hGI dNOhc'
About $50 o'clock his wife noticed
that he was sleeping unusually
sound, and his breathing made a
peculiar noise. She realized at once
that this was being caused by the
laudanum and physician was i'm
mediately summoned. A battery
was applied to his body, and every
effort made to arouse him by the
use of electricity, but all in vain.
The electric battery was in use con-
stantly during the day, bat had not
the desired effect. and Mr.. Tingstrum
passed away at the time mentioned.
The deceased was native of Mary
land, but his mother, who is the wife
of Mr.. Stallings, and her son remov-
ed to Martinsburg many years ago.
Mr.. Tingstrum was twice married,
and child of former marriage and
his wife survive. The funeral took
place on Tuesday, the services being
conducted by Rev. f. j. Prettyman,
OF Trinity M. E. Church. Interment
in Green Hill Cemetery.

Col. DoDD's VIEWS ON GAMBLERS
AND FAKIRs. directors of the
Hagerstown Fair gave the annual
banquet to the members of the va
rious advisory boards last Saturday
at the Hotel Hamilton, and, as usual,
it was a most enjoyable affair In
every respect. H. L. Snyder was
called upon to speak for Jefferson
county, and in the course of his re-
marks suggested that the people
would some time like to see an agri.
cultural fair conducted on new
principle, namely, without the swarms
of gamblers who are licensed to
fleece the patrons of the exhibition,
and free from the indecent side
shows so corrupting to morality.
This suggestion was vigorously OPP
posed by Mr.. j. W. Dodd, Berkeley
county's orator, who took it upon
himself to champion the cause of the
gamblers and the proprietors of
lewd shows. Mr.. Dodd expressed
the opinion that morals were not to
be considered if they stood in the
way Of money! making by the fair,
aud his theory carried out would in
dictate his belief that the more gam
blers and takirs the better the fair.
1t must have been an enjoyable af-
"fairp in every respect.

OBITUARY.-Dea has again
claimed shining mark in the person
of Miss Cora Y. Kaufman, bright
and cheerful young lady of this city.
She passed sweetly into the arms of
her Maker, on Friday last, Septem-
Der 9th, after suffering for over a
month with typhoid fever. Another
bright bud has been cut off to bloom
in Heaven. Another joyous heart
has been stilled in death. Her
death was indeed a sweet one. She
bore her suffering with Christians
resignation, and died in the blessed
assurance of home on High. 'Tis
sweet to die in the Lord. Just be-
fore her death she called her parents,
sisters and brothers to her bedside,
and her parting words were for them
to meet her in Heaven, where she
knew she was going, The Lord hath
given and the Lord hath taken away.
Miss Kaufman was the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley Kaufman, of
Maple avenue. We sympathize with
them in their sad bereavement. IT'S
sad to see one of her age,-just bud
ing into womanhood-called away,
but we know that our loss is Heavens
gain. She was bright young lady,
Of kind and loving disposition and
was beloved by a large host OF
friends, who followed her remains on
Sunday afternoon to their last rest
ing place, in Norbourne Cemetery.
Another hand is reckoning us,
Another call is given:
And glows once more with angels steps
The path which reaches Heaven.
Our young and gentle friend, whose smile
Made bright the summer hours,
Whose footsteps listened for by all,
Has left us as the flowers.
Farewell, farewell our friend so dear,
Thou art gone to rest;
Where no sins and sorrows harm thee.
With the happy and the blest.
We will miss her very footsteps,
We will miss her loving voice,
But soon together we shall live,
Then we shall all rejoice.
But she has not gone forever,
She will be with us once more,
When we shall meet again together,
On that bright and happy shore.
FRIEND.

to complication of diseases. She

was married to Mr.. Dyche in 1855,
making their home at that place. In
1882 the family came to Martins
burg, and have resided here since

many good qualities, and her life as
wife and mother were exemplary.

who live here, and George and Mrs.
Clara Walker, whose homes are in
Cumberland. After short service
at the house, the remains were taken

CHURCH CASE SUBMITrED.-The
case of j. Ii. Veney and others,
trustees of the Free Baptist Church,
(col.) of this city, against Rev. B.
W. Kirk, was submitted, after argu-
ments of counsel, to the Court on
Tuesday, and the Court now holds
the case under advisement. The evil
dence was entirely in the form of
dispositions, and was quite lengthy.
The facts of the case are as follows :
The trustees and a portion of the
congregation claim that last year
the pastors term was out. Others,
forming majority of the congrega-
ton, claim to have held a meeting,
re-electing Mr.. Kirk as their pastor.
Then the former locked the church
and the latter broke it open and held
services. An injunction was asked
for and granted, restraining Kirk and
any of those, through or under him,
using the church. In addition to
these statements there are many
other actions of the parties which
the Court will take into considera-
ton and which appear from the evil
dence. The trial, or rather the at
torneys in the case, consumed over
half day in argument, the trustees
being represented by Messrs. Geo.
W. johnson and S. W. Walker, and
the defendant by j. Nelson Wisner.
The Court will probably hand down
his decision at a SPECIAL term ofcourt
to be held shortly.

WALKED TO HEAR BRYAN.-Mr.
Buskbart walked to hear Bryan, and
on his way to the place of speaking
he remarked that he had on his feet
a pair of fine calf shoes that he
bought from John Lyons Is years
ago. The shoes seemed to be in good
condition, although Mr.. Burkhart
said he had used them rough, and
had plowed in them two seasons.
This speaks well for John Lyons as
a craft and practical shoe maker. 1t
also accounts for the reason why
John Lyons cannot build mansions,
he sells his shoes at small profits
and gives the benefit to his custom
ers. Hope they will appreciate his
fair dealing.

Mr.. E. B. DAILY.-Seldom does
it become the painful duty to record
the sudden death Of so estimable a
young man, one so full of promise
as E. Bishop Daily, who met his
death while on duty tagging trains
at the east end OF the tunnel at Har-
per's Ferry, Sept. Oath, 1896. The
subject of this sketch was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James G. Daily, who
reside near this city. In this instance
we are admonished that the young,
although enjoying robust health and
having a prospect for long life,
must and do die as we'll as those who
are old and feeble and whose race is
almost run. Only a few days ago
this young son left the parental home
full of confidence and fattering pros.
poets to take his turn out with the
rest of the brave men, but alas when
on duty only a few moments the sad
news came. Little did parents. sis
tiers, brothers and dear wife think
that when they next looked upon the
face of their darling boy it would be
stiff and cold in death. We can
neither feel nor portray the deep ag-
ony of that hour to the doting par
ents and precious wife, whose looks
will ever be in vain for the home
coming of one so dear.
Trust in the Lord,
Oh, trust Him ever,
Let not His light shine from thee,
Oh, no never.

REMOVED TO BRUNswIcK.-M r..
Frank Hollis and family have re-
moved to Brunswick, where they
will in the future reside. Mr.. Hollis
work has been at that place for a
long time, and the accommodating in
convenience of going to and from,
since the "dinkey" was taken off, led
him to take this step. Mr.. Hollis
has been Superintendent of the Sun
day School of the First M. E. Church
for a long time, and his farewell to
the school, in that capacity, was
quite touching last Sunday morning.
