the vaudeville company also got in
last night The booths will be pretty

which took place from the home of his
daughter, Mrs. John Jones, on Tallman
avenue, at 2 O'Clock yesterday after

out in numbers and the ceremony OF

The Stanton Heater Company expects
to be able to move into its new quar-
tiers at Martinsburg within a short
time. The building will be under cover
this week, and the inside work will be
so nearly completed as to permit &C.
cupancy shortly after the first Of the

nized as a member OF the crew on the
ferryboat Charon, is liable to be tried
for desertion unless he reports for duty

should happen to get knocked out in
November.

the colored people continuing to vote
solidly with the Republican party was
discussed at the affair given by the
eolored folks at the City Building.

Rev. Miller the negative, and the
speeches afforded good substance for
thought as well as amusement to the
audience. Albert Kerns and Mrs. Robt.
Dorsey won the prize in the cake walk.
