Stopped the Train.

Five young boys wanted to 90 SWIM
ming in the Opequon several days ago and
to get there they hoped an east bound
freight train composed Of "a cars. When
the train reached the Opequon it was
going TOO swift for them to Jump off and
they turned the air valve and put on the
air from underneath one Of the cars and
stopped the train. The train crew was at
a loss to know what was wrong with the
air and the air fixtures on all Of the 81 cars
were examined before the defect was
found. The train was delayed on the
main track for an hour and a half, bat
fortunately no passenger train was due.
A reportof the occurrence has been sent
to headquarters and Detective Riordon
will likely receive orders to look up the
case and arrest the miscreants. If they
are arrested it will 90 hard with them.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects Of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FTGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co, illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them IN the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds. headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant 10 the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP

PRICE MUST HANG.
so SAYS THE JURY IN HIS SECOND
TRIAL.
The VERDICT REACHED LAST NIGHT.


FARMNILLE. VA, April 2O.--(special)
Ihe case Of Thomas W. Price. charged
with the murder OF Mr.. Hall Carter. was
given to the jury tonight at 7 o'clock.
At the conclusion Of the last speech.
which was made by Commonwealth's-At-
tOrney Watkins, the jury were taken TO
their hotel for supper, and promptly at s
o'clock returned to the courthouse and
repaired to their room TO deliberate. At
10 o'clock the jury announced they were
ready TO render their verdict. They were
brought in and the prisoner was COM
manded to stand up. The courthouse
was thronged, and yet the solemnity Of
the moment was so great that a pin might
have been heard TO drop. The jurys YER
dict was murder in the first degree. rs
soon as court opened this morning the
prisoner was put on the witness-stand.
He narrated the circumstances Of the ter
rible tragedy enacted in his own home
on the 18th Of July last. and az some
points Of his testimony the old man was
dramatic. one instance of this was when
he got down from the Witness-stand, and
taking up the gun with which he shot
Carter showed the jury how its fatal
shot was fired while he and the deceased
were in a scuffle. There was material
change In the prisoners testimony from
that he gave on the former trial The
defence rested after Prices testimony,
and three or four witnesses were recalled
by the prosecution in rebuttal. The in
structions of the Court were as favorable
TO the prisoner as il was possible to have
them. Just after the prisoner was brought
into court tonight and the jury had re-
tired TO their room, he beckOncd to the
correspondent Of the Dispatch TO come
over where he was sitting. IL had been
noticed that the prisoners cOuntenance
was bright. He told the Dispatch man
that he never felt happier in his life,
and did not know what TO attribute il 10.
He said he had told the jailer that he
felt so joyous that he did not believe he
could walk from the jail to the court
house 81 am sure" he said. even If the
jury hang me. | am an innocent man Of
the crime" He then branched from the
subject Of himself upon general topics. es-
pecialy political topics At half past
the jury addressed a note TO the Court
asking what constituted generalization,
and how long a time was required TO pre-
mediate. This inquiry looked ominous
for the prisoner.
Mr.. Price. the condemned prisoner. bore
up well under the terrible word Of the
verdict as read by the Clerk The only
slightly audible sound made by him being
the exclamation "Oh, my Godw His
brother was At his side from the begin
ming to the conclusion Of the trial.
Judge Mann, FOR the defence. moved for
a new trial. upon which motion argument
will be made in a few days. This IS the
second conviction Of the prisoner.
