SHREDDER, it is alleged, made a savage
assault on Aaron Shrimp with knife
as he was leaving the door with lady
friend. 1t is stated that Shrimp heard
his name called out, and when he
turned around SHREDDER struck him with
sharp instrument, which shrimp
kicked out of Shroder's hand and then
knocked him down. SHREDDER got up
again and, recovering his knife, at
tackled Shimp savagely, cutting a
frIghtful cash on the right jaw, one on

9, at the edge of Martinsburg. After
the train stopped he jumped on the
front of the engine and rode to Cum

lowed. Engineer Lockhart identified

his train, and he was held for the ac-
ton Of the next grand jury.

Paris Exposition Prizes.

The United States received more priz-
es at the Paris Exposition than any other
nation, except France. The total being
1881. 1t is also a remarkable fact, that
though the inhabitants of every country
suffer from digestive troubles and
though every cline offers some alleviate
therefrom, it remains for America to
produce an absolutely reliable remedy
for such common diseases. This rem
edy is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Half a century ago. it was placed upon
the market. and from that day to this,
it has never been equalled. 1t has an
almost unparalleled record for the cure
of dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation,
sick headache, sour stomach, belching,
heartburn, nervousness, fatigue, insom-
mia, or any other disturbance Of the
stomach. Be sure to give it trial.

WHAT promises to be perhaps the
greatest strike in the history of our
country began on Tuesday, when the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers called out
their men. About 10000 members
of the organization quit work, in Penn
sylvania and Ohio principally, and as
many more persons are thrown out of
employment by the shutdown. The
strike is not for higher wages, but the
Association demands that all the mills
operated by the Steel Trust be made
union mills. The Trust has issued a
statement explaining the position of
the company, and says that it will abb
solutely refuse to grant the demands
Of the Association. The situation is
strained, and it is possible that the
vast army of workers in the steel and
iron trade may be called out to help
their fellow-workmen of the Amalga-
mated Association. If this is done it
will result in such disastrous disturb
ance of business as the country has
never seen.
This issue between labor and capt.
tai is one that a good many persons
view with little real concern. On the
one hand is a colossal trust that by an
unholy monopoly has succeeded in OBJ
tanning control of vast business, and
it suueezes enormous and exocbitant
profits from the people because it has
the power to do so. We have no
sympathy for it under any circum-
stances. On the other hand are the
labor unions, which are as tyrannical
in their way as the Trust Is after its
fashion. These men are getting big
wages-are so well paid, indeed, that
they are not asking for more-but
they want to have nothing but union
labor employed in the factories. This
is practically taking from the employ
er the right to say who shall work for
him, and while the labor leaders are
not to be blamed for wanting to
strengthen their organization, it seems
to be an unreasonable thing to yield
absolutely to their dictation.
Let them fight it out, if it takes all
summer.

Fairfax Inn Burned.

Fairfax Inn, which, since the burn
ing of the Berkeley Springs Hotel
three years ago, was the only large
hotel left at Berkeley Springs, W. Va,
was yesterday destroyed by fire which
originated in the laundry.
The building was erected in 1895,
and was a well-preserved relic Of COL
onial architecture 1t was a long
frame structure two and three stories
high, with wide porticos, directly fac
ing the historic grove laid out by
George Washington. Many guests
had narrow escapes, and some had to
hurry through windows. leaving their
belongings behind, so rapidly did the
flames consume the frame building.
Mrs. Blumenthal, of Richmond, Va,
lost clothes and jewelry to the value Of
$1,000. She was the heaviest loser.
The hotel was valued at $50, 900, with
$4,000 insurance. Daniel Cornelius
was proprietor.
The fre-fghting facilities of the
town are limited, and it required the
greatest effort to save the bank of
Beakeley Springs, the stores of Biser
& Smith and c. W. Johnson and the
courthouse. The inn was named for
Lord Fairfax, founder Of Berkeley
Springs.

From the Islands Of the Sea.

From a recent letter to the editor
of the REGISTER from Mrs. j. S. Phil
lips, who is now at Honolulu. Hawai-:
ian Islands, we take the liberty OF
making the following extracts;
The first copy of the REGISTER have
received since arrived here has reached
me. and am glad to see an old friend
once more. These islands have little
that is old or has tradition attached to
it. The natives live in huts and wear
as little clothes as possible, so they have
nothing that could stand the test OF time.
The first REGISTER that reached me
here contained the death notice OF
Cousin William Chapline, and it made
me very sad He was the last man
bearing the old family name that was
once so well known in Jefferson county.
His first ancestor, Isaac Chapline, came
to jamestown, Va, as Kings Council
with Lord Delaware in 1910. He settled
at a place known as Chapline's Choice,
adjoining jamestown, where his son
William was born, his mother being
Calvert of England. Lord Baltimore
gave him large land grants in Talbot
county, Md. Here his only son, Will
liam Chapline, was born. This William
bad large family. His youngest son,
William Chapline, took up large grants
of land in what is now Jefferson county,
w. Va, in 1876, along the Potomac riv-
err He also had large family of sons,
who fought in the Revolutionary War.
His youngest son, Isaac Chapllne, was
born and raised on the Potomac river
plantation, where his son, Abraham
Chapline, was born. Isaac Chapline,
his son, was the father of VIM. A. Chap
line. So you see a good old name passes
away and is soon forgotten. have all
the old deeds and wills and records of
births of all those have mentioned. so
this isn't fiction. | have told you this
because you always seem interested in
matters pertaining to the early history
of the old town.

uncomfortable, but guess will get used
to it. | have a lovely home here. 1t

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dItion of the mucous lining of the EuS-
tachian Tube When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever, nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

There was lively time in James
town (not the famous Jamestown Of
Virginia) last Saturday night, near
Ripon, at colored dance, when some
of the SWANS got in jealous row over
some of the dusky lassies. The result
of the scrap was that three of the par
Elephants were arrested and hauled up
in the court of the Justice of Peace
J. ]. LaRue. The justice fined one
$1,000 for assault and two others
$500 each for being drunk and dis
orderly. The pugilists paid their fines
promptly with the assistance of their
lady admirers who championed their
cause, and piled pickels, dimes and
quarters on the Justices table until
the heap looked like an old Virginia
potpie. Justice LaRue is holding up
the reputation of his predecessor, Mr..
Hemebower, for maintaining peace and
quiet within his locality, and bringing
law breakers to justice.-CharleS T0wn
Advocate.

We distinctly object to the Charles
Town Adroeate quoting as from the
REGISTER silly remarks that never
had and never could have been printed
in this paper. A man who possesses
a memory as fatally defective as that
which the editor of the Advocate seems
to be content with should never trust
to it entirely, but he should fortify
himself with the facts before he quotes
things to the disperagement of others.
The editor of the REGISTER never
spoke well of Governor White because
he knew the Governor personally and
had the pleasure of entertaining him
on several occasions before his cleo
ton" We did not hesitate to say
that we had known Mr.. White per-
sonally as man of integrity and fair
ness, and we did want to see him
given fair show as Governor, even
by the Democrats. But coupled with
these remarks the editor of the Aduo-
cate might have found this expression
in the REGISTER THE only trouble
his Democratic friends fear from him
is that he may be just trife too
strenuous politically"
The REGISTER did not fall in with
certain Democratic newspapers that
felt in duty bound to abuse our Gov
ernor and every other political oppo-
nent simply because they were in the
other party, ncr does it intend to do
so. 1t will, however, properly crit
icise the official acts of any State Off
Ger, and in commenting upon the action
that has brought politics into our
schools we are simply exercising the
prerogative of any interested citizen.
Justi6able criticism is one thing and
senseless abuse is another.
We want the Advocate, however,
not to charge us with saying silly
things we never expressed.
