Mr., Clips Narrow Escape.

Mr.. David Clipp, a farmer who lives
near Keller's, had very close call
for his life last Friday. He was driv-
ing four-horse team, and just as he
was crossing the B. & 0. Railroad at
Keller's the locomotive of fast freight
train, east-bound, struck him. The
horses had just cleared the track, and
the engine struck the wagon with ter
rife force, smashing it to pieces. Mr..
Clipp was thrown on the west-bound
track, but, strange to say, was not
seriously hurt. His escape was re-
garded as almost miraculous. The
horses were not hurt, either, though
one was cut and scraped by falling
into a culvert when they ran away.

Senator Wellington has been having
a monkey-and-parrot time in Wash
ington. He recommended in per-
-functory sort Of way young son Of
Mr.. B. II. Warner to an unimportant
place, and President Mckinley, quite
willing to accommodate the older Mr..
Warner, who is very wealthy and has
something of a pull, appointed the
young man to be consul at Leipsic, a
frst-rate place. Mr.. Wellington pro-
tested against the appointment, for
which he says young Warner is unde-
serving and unfit, and he and the elder
Warner almost came to blows. They
have said many naughty things to and
of each other. The Senator Is openly
defying President Mckinley and is
ready to fight the whole government.

Railroad News.

Railroad news.
Mr.. c. P. Brown, who was formerly
agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road at Shenandoah Junction, but who
has been in the lumber business for
the past year or two, has been appoint
ed general agent of the B. & o. at
Hagerstown. He succeeds Edgar H.
Zeigler, who has been agent since 1880.
Mr.. Zeigler has been transferred to the
passenger departments where he will
FIJI the place made vacant by the death
of w. 7. H. Barr. The change went
into effect the first of July. Mr..
Brown has had long experience in
railroad work, and is man of more
than usual ability in this line.
Mr.. Fillmore Reynolds, freight con-
ductor on the Norfolk & Western Rail-
way, had his foot caught and severely
bruised at Hagerstown Junction Mon
day night. He was brought to his
home in this place Tuesday morning,
unable to walk. We are glad the ac'
cident was no worse.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
have completed their third track on
the nine-mile grade, leading from Mar
tinsburg to Hobbs, and have put same
in use. This gives them an exclusive
track for freight service and will avoid
any delay to their passenger trains.

WITH THE MESSAGE.

Havana, Dec. S.-The further report fo-
day.of the capture If Gaisa bv Gen.
Garcia confirms yesterdays dispatches.
and the report adds that the entire gar.
rlson OF the town, composed of 500 men.
died heroically without surrent,erinc.
The Spanish Official report describes
the terrific effects of the pneumatic dyna-
mite gun used ty Gen. Garcia The in
surgents fired .seventy.two shots on the
Tort. Each shot wrought terrible havoc.
The gun was operated at a short dis.
lance from town. Not house remains.
Besides the dynamite gun the insurgents
used two field pieces, six and eight
Founders.
Gen. Garcia sent word to the Spaniards
before the bombardnient that they would
be pardoned if they would surrender.
The only answer was shout of "Long
i've Spain" and general volley from all
the forts

severe fighting ls expected on the road
between the two small towns of Peraleios
anu Barrancos, where the insurgents are
very strong.
The town of elsa had 5000 inhabi-
tants. 1t was only six miles from Bay
amo. In Bayamo the Spanish garrison
number 5000 men, and it is strange that
no attempt was made from Bayamo TO
save Gvisa from utter destruction

as regards Cuba.
