A RoBBER SHOT AND KILLED.
At an early hour Tuesday morning
an unknown white man, about forty
years Of age, was shot and instantly
killed at Catoctin Switch, along the
3. & o. Railroad, near Point of
Rocks, while in the act of robbing
the store OF Richard MERCER, at that
place. The burglar, in company
with three others, had broken into
the store and were ransacking the
shelves for booty. The noise they
made awakened William Brubaker,
the clerk, who slept in the room
above the store. Knowing the des-
perate character of men who have
been committing robberies in that
section, Mr.. Brubaker picked up his
rife and walking out on landing
overlooking the lower floor, caught
sight of the burglar and fired. The
ball struck him on the left shoulder,
passing down in the region of the
heart, producing wound which
caused instant death. As soon as
they saw their comrade fall the
other three men fed up the railroad
track. Acting Coroner VIM. B.
Krantz, of Adamstown, was sum-
moned and held an inquest. After
viewing the body where it had fallen
and hearing the testimony of Mr..
Brubaker and several others, a YER
dict was rendered in accordance,
pronouncing the killing justifable
and generating Mr.. Brubaker from
a II blame.

TRooPs WILL REsPoND.-Assist.
ant Adjutant General D. T. E. Gas.
teel says the idea that West
Virginia troops would fail to re-
spond if called out during the min.
ers' strike is erroneous. "The W.
Va. National Guard,' he said, sis
under the strictest discipline and
there is not an officer or private
who would dare refuse to come
out when ordered to do so, whether
they had been paid or not. Under
the new military law the State mill.
tia are not allowed to consult their
own conveniences or preferences in
matters of this kind" The troops
have not received their pay for ser
vices done on the Norforll & West.
ern Railroad during the strike OF
1895, but the fault does not lie with
the Legislature, for that body APP
propriated money for the purpose,
nor is it the fault of any one con.
nected with the guard. The delay
in paying these men arises from a
misunderstanding between the au.
ditor and the acknowledgement as to
the mode of disbursing the money
appropriated by the Legislature.
The auditor has decided to turn
over the money to the captains OF
the several companies for dlsburse
ment and the warrants are now be.
ing drawn.

Fond mother, children, grieve no more.
But dry your fearful eyes,
Your husband, father,h has but gone to rest,

B. & o. IMPROVEMENTS. The
work of strengthening the track and
reducing the grade at Tabb's Station
on the second division of the B. &
0. was completed Monday afternoon
and the first train to use the new
line was No. /, the New York and
St. Louis flyer. A heavy grade
and three bad curves have been elm
mated by this work. A mile east,
at Myers Hole, similar improve
ment has been in progress for
months, and it will be completed
and ready for trains next Sunday.
Several reverse curves and nasty
and dangerous dip are done away
with at this point. Near Myers
Hole: at Tablers, the alignment of
the track is being materially chang
ed, and as in the other two improve
ments, bad grades and sharp, an
noying curves, are being removed.
This part of the work will be done
in sixty days, aud then a series of
very dangerous places will have
been entirely removed. This work
in its entirely means the hauling of
several additional cars in each
freight train, besides reducing the
danger Of derailments to almost
nothing. The second division run
ming from Cumberland to Bruins
wick, will soon be in frst-class con-
dition and more cheaply operated
than ever.

How BRYAN SIZES UP.-At the
Trans-Mississippi Convention, the
Hon. William Jennings Bryan de.
clared with his usual wealth of

for silver STILL" An unnecessary
gust of emotion over an illusion.

because he is not bimetallist. He
is silver monometallist or mono
maniac.-NeW YORK. SMa.
