Benjamin Butler, negro, aged %,
shot and killed Thomas Carter and
seriously wounded Edward Nelson,
both colored, at a cake-walk near
Buckeystown, Frederick county, Nd
last Saturday night. About three
dozen men and women had congrega-
ted at the place, and during the even
ing partook freely of whiskey, each
man taking a bottle with HIM. Butler
a newcomer, was making a big hit
with the female contingent and aroused
the ire of his less favored male asso'
ciates, who contrived to force a quar-,
rel upon him, knocking him down and
beating him with clubs. He drew a
revolver and began firing promlscu-
ously, killing Carter and seriously
wounding Nelson.

delightful and profitable occasion:

zeal in the work. Shepherdstown cir
cult was well represented and quite a
number of the Leaguers from this
charge participated in the open Par
lament discussions, doing credit to
themselves and to the cause. The at
tractive programme was fully carried
out. The chart illustrations of the
League department, by Mr.. Fred E.
Woodward, of Washington, D. c., were
very fine, as was also his address on
1.-The Epworth League-its history,
purpose and prospects. In fact, all
who had parts on the programme did
excellent service. Altogether the con-
ference made deep impression, and
the people seemed to be thoroughly
aroused.
A permanent organization was eff
fected by the election of the following
officers: Rev. ]. L. KILLER, president
Rev. F. J. Prettyman, vice-presldent /;
Rev. H. S. Coe, secretary and Mr.. D.

A FURIOUS STORM.
The N. & w. Railroad Greatly Oamaged-Floods
in the 7ivers-lmmense Losses.

The equinoctial storm was a little
late this year, but when it did come
it made itself felt. The storm struck
this section Tuesday morning. There
was a brisk wind from the southeast,
accompanied by showers during the
day, increasing toward night. About
nine clock Tuesday night, after a slight
lull, the storm broke with renewed en-
ergy, and for three or four hours a
fearful gale ragged and torrents of rain
fell. The wind has seldom been fercer
than it was that night, and there was
much alarm among our people, many
persons remaining up most of the night.
Fortunately there was no serious dam
age. Some chimneys were demolished
and fences blown down, while many
trees were uprooted and had large
branches broken off.

With a better understanding Of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There Is comfort In
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constiPated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why It Is the only
remedy with millions Of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that It is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts 1t is therefore
ali important, in order TO get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system Is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended 10 the most skillful
physicians, hut If in need of a laxative,
one should have the best. and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction
