The coinage ofthe silver seigniorage
in the Treasury is limited in the War
Revenue bill as passed by the confer
ence and the House to 81, 500, 900 a
month, which would spread it over
about three years. This will not
greatly relieve the burden OF the war,
which 1t was intended to do, unless
the war shall last great deal longer
than any one thinks it will.-Wheel-
ing Register.
There must be a "slip of the
tongue" in the above. The Register
certainly meant to say, This will
not greatly embarrass the conduct of
the war" instead of mot greatly re-
lieve the burden of the war" This
would certainly be the logical conclu-
sion as anything which tends to dis
credit our currency is burden. 1t is
we'll known that silver as money is
weak dependence.

The editor of the Stateman was
heard to remark recently that he
could not understand why any DEM
ocrat should assist in this Republican
war" In other words, Martinsburg
has a genuine Tory sin her midst. J."
1t is surprising that he should be so
frank and outspoken, but his suppo-
sition was that the Democrats to whom
he was talking were men OF no more
principle or patriotism than he.

BUT HE EScAPEDiANY INJURY

Last night about $50 o'clock. While
WIN White was engaged In firing the
boilers At the Wheat brickyard, near
Mount dc chantal. east of town,
brick came flying from IN unknown
hand and struck White on the back OF
tho head. knocking him down. He and
Frank Muldoon. another employc of the
brickyard. which Is operated by "A.
Wheat, made an investigation, but
could ind no traces OF the would-be
murderer. Previous to this, Nuldoon
and White had noted the suspicious nc
lions OF three tramps who Ind been
lettering in the vicinity late in the nf-
ternoon. and they feared that these
men were about to make an attack on
them.
About an hour later, Deputy Sheriff
Kindelberger was notified by Mr..
Wheat OF the affair. He went out and
walked across the fields toward the
brlckyard. When he neared the place
he was greeted with fusiade OF pls-
tol shots, some OF them flying uncom-
fortably near tho deputy. Believing the
shots were from a gang OF desperadoes.
klndelberger retreated and notified
Sheriff Richards, who, with Constable
os. Gray, proceeded to the scene Of
hostillties.
Upon learning that the deputy had
called on the sheriff, Lieutenant Macl,
Supler, OF the police, telephoned to the
brtckyards. and learned the surprising
fact that the shots fired at Kindelper-
ger, fourteen In number. came from
Muldoon and White, who were unaer
the impression that Kindelberser was
one Of the gang they feared was about
to descend upon them. Happily, howev-
er, the deputy was not hit and n de-
plorable tragedy was averted.
Later It was learned the sheriff and
his posse were turned back, having
learned that Kindelberger was safe and
had not been attacked by desperadoes.

Mr.. and Mrs Caleb Churchman, the
parents of Lieut.. Clarke Churchnian,
have received letter from Adjutant-
General H. G. Corbin, enclosing q
copy of the report of Capt Harry L.
Haskell, Twelfth Infantry, Of the
capture of FL Caney, in which Capt.
Haskell calls attention to the courage
of the lieutenant, who was inortaily
wounded in the attack upon the town.
The report also gives praise to Private
james W. Smith Of III Col, whose
residence is in this city, for his
bravery in assisting in cutting the
bnrbed wiro which interfered with the
advance of the troops. W az
In the account Of the fighting on
July 1st, Capt Haskell writes "about

Reference to Private Smith comes in
connection with -the account Of the
early part of the battle.s "We suffered
from the fire of the eneniy,o writes the
captain, 'while unable to correctly
locate them, and brief Reconnaissance

Millen of III Co., who cut five lines of
wire in dozen places, and opened the
way for our movement, their gallant
conduct receiving most hearty com

Later he makes special mention of
these two men in the following words

courageous act of Privates Smith and

perilous duty was performed with the
