Killed by the Cars.

There was another victim of the
cars at Shenandoah junction about
5 o'clock yesterday morning. Mon
day evening stranger was noticed
about the station, who said he had
come from the Norfolk & Western
Railway and was on his way to Bal
timore. He had little money with him
and purposed jumping freight. Ear
ly yesterday morning just above the
signal tower he was struck by express
train No. AZ as he was walking along
the track, or he may have tried to
get on it as it passed. His dead body
was found soon afterward along the
track. There was bad knock in the
head and one leg was broken in two
places. Magistrate Rentch went to
the Junction on the morning train,
but decided that an inquest was IN
necessary. a pass-book bearing the
name of Geo. n. Miller, Sparrow s
Point, Nd, was found on the body,
and this is thought to have been his
name. The man was probably about
35 years old. If his relatives are not
found the body will be buried by the
county today.

Reception TO the Contestants.

On Friday evening last Wingerd
Cottage was the scene Of most en-
ioyable social event. The occasion was
a reception rendered the contestants in
the third preliminary oratorical con-
test by Professors Chas. j. Miller and
L. D. Arnett.
Those present included the contest
ants, Messrs. H. C. Miller, Robert N.
Duke, Eugene H. Barnhart, Dwight
E. McQuilkin, and Misses Harriet D.
johnson, Elba G. Hoffman, Katharine
Mckee, Mary E. McConn, Jessie Hof-
man, Urna V. Cummings, Nellie Mar
ten and Louise Welshans, Messrs. J. D.
Muldoon and J. Lewis Welshans.
While engaged in various amuse-
ments the time came to repair to the
dining-hall, where a sumptuous feast
awaited the merry assemblage. a
most liberal discussion Of the bill of
fare made each one feel that it was a
good place to be and the justice done
to the delicacies attests to the excel
lence Of the repast.
Prizes were awarded Misses McConn
and Hoffman for excellence in portrait
sketches, but evidence of skill was not
found in resemblance to the original
from which the sketch was taken.
Time passed only too quickly, and
grounding day had arrived before
anyone felt the least inclined to pay
his respects to the admirable hosts and
to bid them goodnight.

One Year in Prison.

UuS rear III II lSUus
The case against Robert Underdunk,
charged with attempting to commit a
felonious assault on a girl named Min
ME Miller at Patterson's Greek, was
tried at Cumberland last week. The
girl testified that Underdunk was in
her room with a revolver over night.
Kirk Miller, the girls 23-year-old
brother, testified that he heard his SIS
ter crying through the night, but was
afraid to go to her room because of
Underdunk. The girls mother testi-
fed to her knowledge of the affair.
The defendant made defense, claim
ing that he had no idea of harming the
girl.
The Miller family is distressingly
poor and ignorant one, but their testi-
mony was given in straight manner.
Mr.. Wilson, during the course of his
appeal to the jury, referred to the law
lessness of that community and made
a very strong plea for the protection
of the mother, who was trying to pro-
tect her young daughter, one having
already fallen.
The jury brought in a verdict of
common assault, and Underdunk was
sentenced to one year in the House of
Correction.
