The Martinsburg World reports a
sure-enough business sensation there.

A. Richardson started tobacco store
there in the most expensive style. A
week or two ago Richardson sold out
bis interest, and Tuesday Dahl. who
saw that the business was on its last
legs, told his clerk to sell everything
for what he could get. Tobacco and
cigars were sold for any price and in
an hour the store was looted. Dahl
put out for parts unknown, and a num-
Der of creditors are left lamenting.
