The "EASY RUNNING
HOUSEHOLD"

The "EAsYRUNNING HoUsEHoLD' is very
simple in construction. therefore more easily
operated, and less liable to get out OF order
than any other machine. 1t is also faster
sewer, as 1t makes more stitches to each
revolution of the wheel than any other Vi
Drafting shuttle machine. It possesses more
space under arm than any other family sew
ing machine. which enables the operator TO
sew bulky fabrics and is self threading ex'
cepting the eyelet in the needle bar. inc
tensions are automatic, which enables the
operatos to sew from the thinnest to the
thickest fabric without change of tensions
Our new self threading shuttle possesses
new device, which insures an even. ana
elastic tension that is not obtained in any
other machine.

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va, March a.
Harper's Ferry, Jefferson county, was
the scene Of a horrible killing this at
ternoon at 4:30.
Thomas ". Roderick, aged SO years,
and Thomas Longerbeam, aged %. got
into a difficulty, which resulted in Rod
erick cutting Longerbeam's throat,
and causing his death.
When the affair started, it was
thought to be a joke, and both young
men seemed to be in fun. Roderick
picked up a stone and threw it at Lon
gerbeam, which caused him to get very
angry. Longerbeam started at Roder-
lex, and the latter pulled a knife and
did the cutting.
After the cutting was done, Longer
beam struck Roderick in the head with
a brick, and caused a serious wound.
Roderick was arrested, and given a
hearing, and committed to Jail to await
the action of the grand jury. He was
brought here by an officer and lodged
in Jail.
The affair caused considerable ex-
element and came near resulting in
a lynching, but before the crowd could
do anything the officers left for Char
les Town with their prisoner.
Longerbeam is a son Of Thomas
Longerbeam, OF Harper's Ferry, a gal
liant Confederate soldier, who is well
known in the county.
Whether the lynching crowd will
come here and take Roderick from jail
remains to be seen.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March a.
A big coal land deal was consummat-
ed here to-day whereby Mrs. A. D.
Nease, of Cincinnati, became the pur-
chaser of the Carkin property. a few
miles above the city, on the Kanawha
river. This is a fine body of coal land,
containing $500 acres and having a
mine now open and in operation. The
price paid was $150,00O. The parties
who made this purchase are still here,
and it is said will close up another
deal before leaving by which they will
get the Marmet lands on Lens creek,
some 5000 acres, with coal operations
now being worked, with a railroad
eleven miles long and furnishing the
beginning Of a good route to connect
with the Chesapeake & Ohio, and the
Norfolk & Western and tap the Coal
river coal beds. The price that will
be paid for this tract is said to be
$125, 900.
These deals are said to be part of
the big combination reported as brew
ing in Cincinnati by which John w.
Gates and a number of other capital
lists are to become possessed of a great
body of bituminous coal lands and go
into the markets on a scale larger per-
haps than anybody has ever done
heretofore in this country. The Mar
met terminals in Cincinnati, regarded
as valuable possessions, are to go in
to the deal and a line of tow boats
will be established to carry the pro-
ducts of the combination mines to the
markets of the west and south.
