Vicious Tramps Put in Jail.

Some months ago several tramps,
accompanied by lot of dogs, made
themselves very obnoxious to the peo-
pie living along the road between this
place and Harper's Ferry, Last week
the same gang made another trip
through this county, behaving even
worse than before. They madea point
of going to farm-hOuses where there
were no men, and demanded food and
other things from the women folks,
often insulting them. On Thursday
the rascals behaved very badly in the
neighborhood of Keller postofice, and
their conduct was so obnoxious that 1t
was decided to arrest two OF them.
Messrs. Lodonzo Engle and Charles
Ingram provided themselves with big
revolvers, and first thing the astonished
tramps knew they were looking into
the muzzles of the guns. Magistrate
Martin L. Eichelberger gave them a
hearing on the charge of indecent ex-
posture and threats of violence to Mr..
Engle, and sentenced them to ten days
in the county Jail. The tramps, whose
names were Marshall and Daniel Ken
ny, and who have unsavory records in
this section, are now serving their time
in the jail at Charlestown, with the
warning to leave the State when they
Oet ont and never return.

Communicated.

Mr.. EDIToR-As the time for the cor
poration election is approaching, and as
some of the enemies of the temperance
question from our neighborlng towns
have been seen in close communion with
their friends in this place, it is time for
the friends of the temperance party to
be getting ready for the fight. Our en-
emies are never caught sleeping. They
begin in time and never let up until the
battle is over. They have already made
an effort for the tax list, so we must first
get the council to submit the question,
which has been done here to fore by sew
eral councils, and we do not think our
present council will be an exception.
Now, again, let every man see that his
head tax is paid on or before the LIST OF
March. Our town has been so quiet the
past wear that no one can deny but that
the town is much better off morally with
out license than with license. Now do
not sit quietly until after the election
and then say: ooh, my; am sorry did
not do something. | know could have
done something 1t is pity that we
lost by so few votes. Now remember
few votes will change the result. Do
your part, then all will be well. But
now is the time to do the work, before
the lst of March. Let me offer a sug-
gestion to the ladies-do you know that
YOU can do a great work along this line!
Now isn't there one noble woman in our
town who will take the lead and say that
| am ready? Let us hear from you and
we will tell you how to proceed. In the
name of God, who is it that suffers more
than YOU from the effects of strong
drink? Do not be blind to the tempta-
tions that surround your boys when we
have the saloon. Now we have had
some drinking during the past year, but
you must agree that we have had great
deal less drinking and our town has been
more orderly Ladies are not afraid to
walk upon our streets at night alone
then again one year is not fair test
let us have it for few years in success
sion and then you can see great i'm
provement in the morals OF our young
men. Now commence the work and
LET us show to our enemies who have
been figuring with the wire pullers and
ward heelers that they have not got the
votes of our town in their pockets, as
they have asserted. These same men
are working TO sell again in our town.
TEMPERANCE.

The Mandolin Clubs Concert.

The concert given in the town hall
in Shepherdstown last Friday night
by the Mountain State Mandolin Club
OF Martinsburg was an enjoyable per-
formance A good-sized audience lis
tened with much pleasure to the ex-
cellent music and were most generous
in their applause. The music of the
mandolins was the best part Of the con-
cert. The performers showed the eff
fects Of practice and an apprehension
of good music, rejecting great credit
upon themselves and their capable
leader, Mr.. L. Dew. Gerhardt. A man
dolin solo by Mr.. P. E. Deatrick and
duet by F. E. Smurr and Harry Be-
linger were particularly good, and a
flute solo by Mr.. Edward Ranels and
clarinet solo by Mr.. w. F. McAneny
were also we'll received. Solos were
sung acceptably by Messrs. VIM. fl.
Wiley, F. E. Smurr and w. E. Hof-
helms. The audience appeared to be
nightly pleased with Mr.. Wiley S
songs, for he was recalled time and
again. Miss Agnes Beethoven played
the piano accompaniment with excel
lent effect.

improving with those having surplu,
money and limited demand to fur
nish a safe and profitable system for
investing money in both large and
small sums, in manner which assists
and encourages saving, which permits
savings to be readily converted into
cash if desired, and which rewards, by
increased profits, those who persist in
saving through term of years to en-
able those wishing to pay off a mortage,
or acquire home or place OF business,
to do so on an easy monthly payment
plan. The International has also one
Of the best plans of prepaid stock that

Mid-Winter Marriages.

The Charlestown Free Press says
that Thomas E. Fisher and Lissie B.
Munday, both hailing from Loudoun
county, Virginia, were united in mar
riage last week at the Presbyterian
Manse in that town by Rev. DR.. A. c.
Hopkins. The county clerk, when he
learned the young lady was only eight
cen years of age, declined to issue a
license, but upon the presentation of a
note purporting to be from the would
be brides father consenting to her mar
riage, the requisite official paper was
issued. When asked by the minister
if they were runaways the response
was; mo, We preferred to leave hone
as matter Of convenience, or words
to that effect. Later in the day it was
discovered that the young people tried
to get the knot tied in Frederick City,
but telegram was received from the
young mans father just as the clerk
was issuing the license, stating that
the man was under age, thus prevent
ing a consummation most devoutly
wished by the candidates of matrimo-
ny.

town, brakeman on the Norfolk &
