On Thursday night last about ten
o'clock, Mr.. Fayette B. Souders, q
citizen of this town, was brutally as
saulted and robbed at his residence
on South Water street. Mr.. Sou
ders had just closed his place of
business for the day and returned to

attacked him just as he was in the
act of making a first step on the
porch leading to his house. He was
beaten fearfully about the head with
a large hickory bludgeon, about Is
inches long, knocked down and his
pockets rifled of about $500 in cash.
A gold watch and part of a chain
was also taken. After accomplish
ing their brutal work they ran down
South Congress street, in the direc-
ton of the gas house. In the mean
time Mr.. Souders regained his feet
and fired three pistol shots at his
assailants without effect. In the
darkness as we'll as the suddenness
OF attack, Mr.. Souders was unable
to make any Identification. 1t is
said that one of the parties left hat
behind, which may lead to clue oil
the guilty one. Mr.. Souders. whose
condition is not serious is consider
ably bruised about the head, &c
much so that he Is not able to at
tend to Observation-Disclosures.

Wreck On B. & o.

The quiet of last Sabbath morn
was broken by she sudden news of a
wreck on the B. & o., a short dis
lance east of this city, near Parks,
formerly Flagg's, mill. The fact,
that No. 8, an eastward bound pas
senger train, was connected with it,
caused serious apprehension of large
loss of life and great suffering
through injuries, and caused the
calling of nearly all of our physi-
clans to attend and render aid il
necessary. Fortunately, the fatality
was confined to one, and the injured
very few. The accident was caused
through the failure of the operator
in the tower to learn the wherea-
bouts of No, 8,then about due, from
the operator at Fauvers or North
Mountain, west of Martinsburg. Be-
lieving all was safe, he signalled Mr..
John G.. Senseney, engineer of help.

north to south track, and just as he
reached it, on came No. 8, rushing
with fast time speed, He could not
get out of the way. All he could
do was to run, and with throttle
wide open he started, but alas ! the
distance was too short, and crash in
to the tender, on to the engine,
Numbered the oncoming engine.
Mr.. Sensney was hurled into eter-
nifty, His fireman was at the switch
and escaped. Engineer How
ard Lockhart and fireman Cutshaw,
of the passenger. engine, were hurled
into the field near the track, both
badly but not seriously bruised, the
fireman having q finger cut of.
Five passenger cars were derailed,
but none upset, and strange to re.
late, in that terrible catsstophre not

National Anthem and Hymn.

There are some prevalent errors
concerning the American national
anthem, which the late war spirit
has brought to light. AS is pointed
out in Harper's Bazaar, our patriotic
hymn America is often erroneous.
ly spoken of as our national anthem
and it is also a mistake to sing it
to the tune of "God Save the
Queen" tune known all over the
world as that of the British national
anthem. While we have many pat
riotic and war songs, it should be
borne in mind that the American
national anthem is the "Star. Span
gled Banner" and our national
hymn is "Hail, Columbia"
