DECORATION DAY OBSERVED IN
THIS CITY.-The City Band, Mar
tinsburg Fire Department, Grand
Army, and the National Guards OBJ
served Memorial Day, on Saturday
last. The procession formed at 2
p. M, and marched to the Norborne
Cemetery, where the graves of com.
rades were decorated with flags and
flowers. The march was again re.
sumed to Greenhill, where the same
tribute was paid to the dead lying
there. Large crowds of people were
present at both cemeteries. The
City Band rendered some very
pretty and appropriate selections.
All the organizations of this city
have dead buried in one or more OF
our burying grounds, and we do not
know why an effort will not be made
to observe Memorial Day. MAY 30)

Judge Faulkner has been busy
holding court in Charles, Town, and
returned home on Thursday.
The ex-Republican sheriff selects
a Democratic paper for his adver-
tisement of non-collected taxes.
Why?
The magistrates must preserve
the dignity of the courts, and not
permit temper to go to far. No one
will dispute this.
Some persons remarked that we
had some good hotels in this CITY.
Looking over the city papers, we do
not find they advertise. Come to

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK for
the old town. The reputation of
Martinsburg's thrift abroad is better
than most any other town in this
section. If the strangers who come
here can see this at a glance, all that
is needed is lot OF stout hearts.
The Wagon Works will run day and
night next month the Brass Fac
tory will start operations shortly on
a greater scale than ever the Ice
Plant started this week while
the Wooden Mills, the Kilbourne and
Middlesex Mills and every other in
dustry of any Importance, with the
exception of the shops, are in full
operation. Let the people get to-
gether and have at least as good an
opinion as the strangers have oftheir
home. A little hope and a little
patience is all that is necessary.

struck and instantly killed by train
No. 5, engineer VIM. NJ. Smith, OF
Baltimore, formerly of North Mar
tinsburg, on Tuesday afternoon last.
He was standing on the west-bound
track near the Gas House, watching
an east-bound train, and failed to
hear the approaching passenger I'M
til too late to get out of the way. He
was struck with such force as to
press his body between the bars OF
the "cowcatcher,' in which position
he was carried until the train was
stopped. A telegram was received
from his family at Quicksburg, Va,
asking that his body might be sent
on, and the body was sent on No. 6

A SERIOUS WRECK.-A frightful
wreck occurred near the lime kiln
last Tuesday morning. An engine
drawing two cars was coming down
the steep grade when one of the
brake chains broke. The engineer,
Mr.. Jos. Linthicum, reversed the en-
CINE Immediately but the momentum
was so great that the train could not
be controlled, and the engine jumped
the track and ran up the side of a
steep embankment. The weight of
the cars, which were loaded with
stone,was so great as to turn the en-
CINE over and directly across the
track. The engineer and fireman
were both thrown under the debris.
The engineer managed to climb out,
but the fireman, Mr.. Brooks, was so
closely pinioned that he was scalded
almost to death before he was res
cued. There is still little hope of
his recovery.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common water
glass with urine and let it stand
twenty-four hours q sediment or
settling indicates diseased condition
of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
