ern end Of this town. He drove every
body before him and took possession of
that section. Town Sergeant Dunn
was sent for, and when he attempted
TO arrest him Johnson tried to hit Mr..
Dunn with his club. Mr.. Dunn jerked
it from the fellows hand and gave him
whack on the head that sent him to
earth. Then the Sergeant hailed the
prisoner before Mayor Fleming, who
committed him to jail to sober up.
Next morning he was tried and SEN

costs and thirty days in Jail. Sentence

Mr.. Geo. ]. McCafrey, insurance
adiuster, of Baltimore, and Mr.. R. W.
| Alexander, of the firm of Washington
& Alexander, of Charlestown, were IN
town last Friday to fix up loss for Mr.
A. S. cambridge, insured in the Aetna
Insurance Company through Mr., J. 5
Fleming. The adjustment was par
ticularly satisfactory to all parties
and a draft was received Wednesday
(this being only FIVE days after adjust
nent) in full of claim. This unusual
promptness is commendatory and en-
phasizes the fact that the insuring pub
lie cannot do better than to place then
interests in the hands of this old firm.
The same gentlemen adjusted the hie
loss of Mr.. J. H. Crabill's property at
Shenandoah Junction last Friday. The
settlement was a very satisfactory one,
and a draft has been received by Mr.
Crabill in full settlement. Washing
ton & Alexander, with their usual
promptness, have expeditiously ar
ranged this matter to the great accom-
mediation of Mr.. Crabill. The loss on
the Masonic Hall was also adjusted al
that time by this firm.

MARK HANNA's PLAN.
Country Dealers Threatened
With Bankruptcy and
Credit is Refused
Documentary Proof in Hand.

possession Of the Democratic
managers, showing that Mark
Hanna, with the cooperation
and connivance of large man
ufacturing and mercantile firms
in the cities, will not hesitate to
utterly destroy and bankrupt
country merchants who refuse
to support Mckinley and the
gold standard. These circulars
not only call upon travelling
meu to ''place themselves in
touch" with Republican nation
al headquarters, but also con
tain instructions to travelling
men who 10 operate upon the
fears of country merchants.
They are Instructed to inform
country merchants that if Mr..
Bryan is elected there will be a
general panic throughout the
country; all business houses
will closei all country dealers
who have outstanding accounts
will be summarily closed up,
and that universal bankruptcy
will prevail. Til y are also in.
5truced in many instances to
refuse credit to country mer
chants who are supporting the
silver cause.
Positive information to this
effect has reached Democratic
headquarters from more than a
dozen towns in Illinois. This
circular letter from national
Republican headquarters has
in many instances been re en-
forced by letters of instructions
from large business houses in
Chicago to their travelling men
on the road, informing them
that if they do not carry out
the instructions from Republi
can headquarters and work for
Mckinley and the gold stand
ard their services will be dis
pensed with.
Two travelling men employed
by Chicago business houses
pers n lily reported at Dem
ocratic headquarters that while
they are for Bryan and free
silver, they are compelled to
canvass for Mckinley or lose
their jobs. One of them show
ed a letter written by his house
-one Of the largest hardware
! firms in Chicago stating that
if be- refused to work for Nc
Kinlty among his customers be
would be- discharged. This man
Is an ardent Bryan man. These
commercial men have Informed
merchants in several towns in
Illinois that they could moi
longer receive credit unless
they came out for Mckinley
and the gold standard.
The result Of this genera
terrorism and bulldozing Id,
been TO stop The sale of good.
and create stagnaIion of bus
mess throughout the country
towns. Some OF these conner
; cial men have privately STATED
that they are making this dis
reputable kind of campaign jas
for the money that has brrl
promised 10 them by Marl
Hanna. They are getting $40
