Smashed a Corn Planter.

Mr.. Carrot Van Metre who lives on the
road between Vanclevesville and kear-
neysville, was in quite an exciting run
away On Saturday afternoon. ltwas not
one of the ordinary kind OF runaways, one
in which horse, hitched to a carriage,
frghtens, throws out the driver and
mashes up the team and harness, it was
one of another kind.
Mr.. Van Metre had been using the corn
planter belonging to his father, Joseph
Van Metre and had just passed through a
gate into another field when one of the
bars on the machine dropped. Mr.. Van
Metre got off to fix the bar and in doing
so frightened the horses. They ran around
the field and then out onto the road. Mr..
Van Metre made every effort to catch the
fleeing horses and save the planter, but
they were too swift for him. They finally
ended their run along the B. & o. railroad
tracks with the corn planter mashed into
splinters.

Slight Fire.

The suppers of the people of Martins
burg were again disturbed Friday by
the sounding of the fire alarm at 6.3o
o'clock. the factories being CLOSED and
at an hour in the day when bus ness is
practically suspended, the streets were
thronged in minute. The tiremen with
the reels started in the direction of the
supposed fire, but before they got there
they were informed thai it was "all over"
and they retraced their steps TO the reel
houses.
The fire was on the roof of the house
occupied by z. t. Minor, 2I4 w. Stephen
street, owned by Starleton Proctor. 1t
was caused by sparks falling on the
Single roof from the chimney of the ad-
joining building occupied by d. Crimes.
Had not the fire been noticed as soon as
it was the flames, which were already being
famed by stiff breeze, would have spread
over the roof and probably have caused
much damage to the building and to the
adjoining buildings before it could be
checked The blaze was eXtinguished by
water carried to the roof in buckets. A
hole about two feet square was burned in
the roof. The loss, which is only Slight.
is covered by insurance in companies re-
presented by Alexander & Trammel.
SMALL BLAZE.
Fire in a house occupied by Laura
Stevenson and her three children. colored
situated on a little alley running east from
N. Center street, caused the sounding OF
the alarm last Thursday, at 5.45 p. m
The building is owned by Mrs. Armstrong
of Center street. The damage to the
building is only slight, more damage be-
ing. caused by water than by fire.
There was no one in the house when
the fire occurred, Mrs. Stevenson was at
work as cook at the Continental Hotel
and her children were also away at work.
The fire started in a pile of clothing on
the second story, supposed to be the re-
suit of spontaneous combustion. At
about $50 o'clock some boys noticed
smoke pouring from the sides of the build
ING and gave the alarm, The fourth ward
reel was at the fire before the bell rang
and had the hre out before the other reels
arrived.
The aged colored woman, when she
learned that her house was on fire, ran as
swiftly as SIZE could to get to It. While
the fremen were throwing water on the
fire she reached the house almost exhaust
ed from her long run, entered the front
door and fought her way blndly through
he smoke to the upstairs. A few
minutes later, satisfied that her home
was out of danger she ran back out of the
front door and sank exhausted at the feet
OF HERALD representative, Policeman
McBee and several dremen, who We're
standing in a group converSlng.
She had been partly overcome by smoke
and partly by fright, She was carried out
of danger and, after ten minutes of labor,
was restored to consciousness. DR.. Bar
low later arrived and administered to her.
The fire was quickly eXtinguished the
damage being water soaked house and
furniture, hole burned IN the side Of the
building and a lot of clothing burned.

Dispatch COnRrInatOry of the Fight
at TIen Tsin.

London, July 16.-The Evening
News prints a dispatch dated at
Shanghai, 10th, giving a detailed ac-
count of the attack of the allied forces
on the native city of Tien Tsin, as re-
ported in the press dispatch dated
Tien Tsin, July 10, via Che Foo, July
Is, and Shanghai July 16.
According to the Evening News dis
patch, the allies were repulsed and
compelled TO retreat with a loss of
more than 100 killed, the British los
ing 40 and the japanese so. The
Americans and Russians, it is added,
also suffered heavily. Among the
killed were colonel of French infan-
try and Col Liscum of the Ninth Unit
ed States,infantry. A Russian colonel
of artillery was also killed.
The dispatch adds that the Chinese
fought with great desperation and

THE CABINET COUNCIL.
The situation in China Talked over
Communication 10 the Presi-
dent Prepared.

Washington, July 16.-At the con-
clusion of the cabinet council IL was
stated that no line of action had been
determined upon; that the meeting we
not called TO formulate any plan, but
simply to talk over the situation. 1t
is thought that communication was
drafted for transmission to the presi-
dent at Canton. After the meeting Sec
rotary Root Immediately went into
consultation with Adjt.-Gen. Corbin.
lie refused to discuss the situation.
In all probability the president will
come home within the next two or
three days to remain a day or two.
There is reason to believe that 5000 or
10000 troops will be gotten together
as rapidly as possible, and hurried to
China. Some of these probably will
be taken from Cuba. If the situation
requires more men congress will have
TO be called together to provide for
them.
