The Merchants and Manufacturers AS
sociation Of Hagerstown is going TO issue
a prospectus, of which 10000 will be
printed, to be distributed over the country
to induce the location Of factories there.
To pay for this the business men of Hag-
erstown will be asked to contribute what
they desire.
The condition OF our sister city across
the river may be judged by the following
from the Hagerstown Globe: ut has been
apparent of late that while other towns
around are prospecting Hagerstown
seems to be on standstil.' Merchants
report business very dull and laboring
men, long idle, want work.
Such is not the case here in Martins
burg. There are very few idle men here.
If there are any it is their own fault, for
there is plenty of work to be bad. Our
many factories are booming and there is
no excuse for idleness here. The advan-
tage Of Martinsburg for manufacturing
industries is clearly shown by the pros
porous condition Of the numerous factories
located here now.

Some One Gone Wrong.

Someone living about Magnolia is under
the hallucnatlon that the body found IN
the ruins of the Kessler home was not
that OF Mrs. Ann DOMAIN, but that Of a
sheep a common, ordinary, every day
sheep. He gives an interview to the VIM
chester Star. which says:
Nov prominent resident OF Magno-
liza comes forward with the startling state
ment that Mrs. DOMAIN is not dead, but
that she is in hiding among her relatives
in the mountainous district Of Sandy Hol-
low, in Morgan county, w. Va. The
gentleman quoted says that on the morn
| ing following the murder large pool OF
blood was discovered in field near the
house and it is asserted that the murder
ers Of Kessler killed a sheep on the spot
where the blood was found, and after
numbering Kessler placed the carcass Of
the sheep in the house and then set fire to
| it. The object in making it appear that
Mrs DOMAIN was one OF the victims was
to divert suspicion from Newton DOMAIN,
her husband. who is being searched for as
one Of Kessler murderers. The Stars in
| formant also says that when the bodies
were removed from the ruins OF the house
they were given only cursory cxamina-
ton such as crude, county hamlet would
make, and there isno one to say that one
Of the bodies found was that Of human
being"
There is someone to say it Learned
physicians have said it, and are ready to
back what they have said.
Mr.. Paulding, when shown the article,
said 1.-The man who gave the above in-
formation to the Winchester Star was
either sheep head himself or was in
with the murderers. He must be trying
to mslead the public for the benefit Of
the murderers. In the ruins Of the home
spinal column was found. which anyone
could see, did not belong to sLeep The
doctors pronounced the remains to be a
female human being and also secured
the heart. which could not be mistaken
for that OF sheep"
