Inauguration Business.

Inauguration business of the B. & o.
was not as large this year as it was four
years ago, and the same holds true for
the other Railroads. From all that can
be ascertained the B. & o. handled more
people into Washington than any other
Railroad entering that city, and General
Passenger Agent Scu1l has figured that
81, 600 tickets were sold. Ofthis number
fully 200 were sold in Baltimore on
the morning of March 4th. D. F. Ma
roney, Superintendent of Transportation,
reports that commencing on the morning
of March Ist and ending at $50 P. m.
March 4th, exclusive, the B. &c o. ran
into Washington 454 scheduled trains,
with I2s extra cars and los special trains
with III cars. The number of trains
leaving Washington was practically the
same, and it is supposed that fully so, 200
of the people who went in came out before
March 9th, making the total handling of
about 81, 900 people for the Inauguration.
Most of this travel was from the east and
very small proportion from points west
of the Ohio River. it being quite evident
that the high rate of fare deferred many
from coming, and the short liruit on the
tickets also seriously affected business

who can restore to him his sight. Still,
too, the people keep coming into his store

Sudden Death of a Bride.

Mrs. Archie Pope died suddenly near
Vaucluse, Va. on Thursday last, of apo
plexy, aged 20 years. Mr.. Pope, who is
engaged with the Vulcan Road Machine
and Bridge Works of this place, and
boards with Mr. Geo. w. Armeptrout,
received a telegram announcing his wife S
illness just in time to catch the 5:43 B. &,
o. train, but found her dead on his arri-
val at Vaucluse. They had been married
less than three months, and had made all
their arrangements to go to housekeeping
here. The sudden death of this joyous
and Mr.. Pope has the sincere sympathy
of his many friends here in his great
bereavement
Since putting the above in type, we
have from the Winchester Star of Friday
the following:
Mrs Emma, wife of Mr. Archie Pope
died suddenly at the residence of her
father, Mr. William NJ. Lineburg near
Vaucluse, yesterday evening at Gas
o'clock. Her death was due to stroke
of apoplexy Mrs. Pope had been in
up until few hours before her DEATH
She ate hearty dinner yesterday and
early in the afternoon retired to her room
to take her accustomed nap Her sister
Miss MoIlie Lineburg had occasion to go
into the room about three O'Clock and was
alarmed at finding Mrs. Pope unconcious
DR.. Stickley, of Stephens City, was has
tily summoned, but all his efforts to re-
vive her were in vain. She fingered in
an unconscious condition until about Gas
o'clock, and surrounded by her loved ones
she breathed her last.
When the serious nature of Mrs. Pope's
illness was learned her husband, who was
at Charles Town, was imme-
diately telegraphed for, and fastened to
Vaucluse on the first train and arrived
at the bedside of his wife just twenty min
utes after she breathed her last.
Mrs. Pope was bride of only few
and had resided with her parents
since the wedding. Preparations were
being made for their going to houskeep-
ing, and on Tuesday Mrs. Pope was in
this city purchasing furniture for that
purpose. The happy couple expected to
make their future home in Charles Town.
Mrs. Pope was well known in this city,
having lived near town for quite while
She was an unusually handsome young
lady, and her kindly disposition and genial
won for her many friends. Her
sad and sudden death will be a severe
blow not only to her relatives but will
occasion much sorrow among her friends.
The funeral services will be held at
Mr.. Lineburg's residence at 10 o'clock,
and Rev. ]. w. Stricken of the Lutheran
Church. of which Mrs Pope was a mem
Der, will officiate. The remains will be
at Stephens City.

Some of our Democratic State ex-
changes land with decided show of JUS
tice) have been critcising Gov. Atkinson
for appointing boilers to positions which
Democrats should occupy as minority
members of the vasious State boards. AS
an exception to the rule, and for fear he
may be classed as a boiling" Democrat,
we desire to note that Col. B. D. Gibson
of this place, who is appointeda member
of the Board of Directors of the Insane
Asylum at Weston, has been an earnest,
consistent Democrat, supporting his party
ticket throughout national State and
county-and SO far as his appointment
goes at least, a full iedged, regular
Democrat fills the bill.

Stock is being taken to organize a

confidence that the oliganons fluid will

happened, and reversing the old saying,
