Front Royal. near here. was star,iea mis-
afternoon by the CHASTITY discovery OF the
pody OF popular young man OF that
place dangling by the neck from n tree in
the woods about one and n hair miles
from town. IL was in a badly decomnossd
condition, and was discovered by an old
ccIored woman, who was picking black
berries near by. The old woman was
greatly frightened, and fastened to town
ior assistance. The body was identified
AZ mat OF Hpnter Peyton. aged % years.
re had been missing from his home since
Sunday. and while his disappearance had
caused his family some uneasiness. no
search had been instituted. No real cause
Tor MS suicide was known. He had been
nVing IN Jtah for some years. and was
visiting his parents at Front Royal He
was great sufferer from asthma, and
the. intense heat probably aggravated his
misery and determined him upon death
for relief. He was a son OF J. w. Peyton.
registrar OF the town, and was unmar-
ried.
A terrific explosion occurred this after
noon In the oil department OF the whole
sale grocery firm OF Cooper Brothers, ON
PiccadilIy street, in this place. John Ma
son, an aged employee, was engaged in
examining the interior of empty oil bar
rels with small lamp, which was thrust
through the bung-hole. While examining
one. which was perfectly dry. an expio-
sion within the barrel took place. 1t tore
out an entire window on one side OF the
room, the panels from a door on the other.
and ripped up the heavy flooring, scatter
ing debris iii every direction. Although
standing over the barrel which was blown
10 pieces. Mason and n Junior member of
the firm, William G. Cooper, escaped
without serious injury. Both were dazed
by conclusion, and Mason was slightly
hurt by piece of the flying barrel. The
explosion shook every business house in
tho square AS no oil had been in the
barrel for weeks and the bung-hole was
unstopped the explosion is a mystery. n
strong smell OF powder, which issued
from the room in the dense clouds of
smoke, gave rise to the suspicion that an
explosive had been placed In the barrel
by design. The barrel was shipped from
Martinsburg, w. Va, here.
