TAKEN IN BY A SwINDLER.-An
unknown man went to the clothing
store of Mr.. j. A. Rattcnberg, on
the corner Of Queen and Burke
streets, on Saturday night last, and
purchased lot OF clothing and other
good. Having made his purchase
he asked Mr.. Rattenherg If he would
not cash money order for him as
the Post-Oflice was closed. Mr..
Rattenberg took the order after the
man had endorsed it as J. E. Ford,
and gave him the difference between
the amount of his purchase and the
value of the money order, which was
SIS. On Monday, when Mr.. Rat
tenberg went to have the order cash
ed, it was discovered to be no good.
After an Investigation it was found
to be made ont from the Office at
Balmorel, O., and was duly stamped
and looked all right. The order is
one of large number OF money
orders which have been lost or stol
en-, and SO reported by the depart
ment. 1t was slick scheme OF the
man who passed the order to have it
cashed by q merchant on the plea
that the Post-Ofice WAS closed. Be-
ing Saturday night he knew that
there was no probability of the swim
die being found out. The man no
doubt has number Of like orders
and will attempt the same trick else
| where.

SERIOUS WREcK-TRATN No. I
RUNS INTO FREIGHT.-On last
Saturday night the west bound
Chicago Express No I, on the B. &
o., ran into the rear of freight
train at Orleans Cross Roads, half
way between this city and Cumber.
land. Just this side of Orleans the
trees along the track are very thick
and az the road makes a bend there
it is impossible to see any distance.
No. Z was dashing along at the rate
Of about thirtyGve miles an hour
when Mr.. jerome Tabler, engineer,
sighted the rear end of o freight.
The freight, drawn by engine $40,
was just pulling into the siding.
There were only about four cars and
the caboose on the main track. Both
the conductor and brakeman of the
freight were, it is claimed, asleep in
the caboose and did not go back to
flag No. Z, or there would have been
no accident, As it WAS they both
had narrow escape with their lives.
The grinding of the big drivers on
the track awakened them and they
both jumped from the caboose Just
as the big engine went blowing
through the cars still on the main
track. The engineer of the Express
was upon the freight before ne knew
the danger,and there was no time to
jump. The force of the train car
ried it right through the caboose
and three cars. Fortunately no one
was hurt ; the engineer and fire.
man of the Express stuck to their
engine and went through without
being harmed. The passengers on
No. 7 experienced only q slight
shaking up. When the passenger
engine struck the freight it jumped
the track and the hot Goals set fire
to the wreck. The three cars with
their contents, the caboose and all
the wood work of the engine were
completely destroyed. The wreck
was cleared away in the course of a
few hours.

The FIGHT A DRAw.-A ten-round
boxing contest took place about two
miles and half from this city, near
the Big Springs, on Monday night
last. The fight was between Joe
Daley, of this place, and Joe Will
lisms, of New York, and was wit
messed by q small crowd of the
sports of this city. The fight was o
tame one, the crowd not being large
enough to justify hard fighting, and
was decided draw at the conclu.
sion OF the tenth round, as both men
were on their feet. The fight was
kept quiet until the night it occur
red, in order not to let the author
tiles get wind of the affair. The
crowd that attended went out in
various vehicles, and all seemed sat-
iafied with the results.

The Harper's Ferry Sentinel says:
Mr.. G. II. Trail has placed in posi-
tion his machinery for pumping wa.
ter to his ore mines. The water is
pumped 1000 feet from the river,
and he has completed every facility
for mining and placing his rich iron
ore in market.
Acknowledgment Co. are pre-
pared to furnish timothy at unusual
ly low prices. They have bought
their seed in carload lots and have
the advantage Of the very lowest
rates. No finer or better condition
ed seed was ever offered the farmers
of this section.

THREsHING MACHINE Burned
The threshing machine of Walker
Bros. was burned at their home near
Knipetown, on Sunday night last.
1t is thought it was set on fire by
persons who did not like it because
they threshed wheat at two cents
per bushel, while other machines
were getting three. The machine
was entirely consumed. It was in
sured, however, and the loss to
Walker Bros. will be only the time
which they will loose in not thresh-
inc.
