The court at Cumberland, Nd, re-
fused to grant a license to George

Miss Alice H. Ball, daughter of
Rev. B. F. Ball, OF the NJ. E. Church
South, and Rev. James NJ. Anderson,

the NJ. Z. Church South in Charles

Dogs got among NJ. NJ. SINNERS
sheep one night last week and killed
and injured a number Of them, besides
scattering the lambs all over that part
of the county. Early Wednesday
morning dog got after the sheep in
the barnyard of the Me.srs. Wysong,
east of town, and had mutilated sever
al OF them when William Wysong
heard the commotion and succeeded in
killing the rascal.
DR.. A. O. Albin. who has had sew
eraI years experience as a druggist in
the store of the late DR. Bishop, at
Charles Town, this morning took charge
of the McMurran drug store to con-
duct it for the estate until sold, adj
vertisement for which appears in an
other column. DR.. Albin is young
gentleman of fine reputation and
character, and no doubt the former
PATRONS of the store will receive at
his hands satisfactory service.
Suits were instituted in the Circuit
Court of Jefferson county by Harry S.

Kennedy, through his attorney, H. H.

cident occurred.
The Morgan's Grove fair officials
closed a contract yesterday with the
National Theatrical Exchange of Chi
cago for Leigh's Circus and Wild West
Show, which will exhibit at the fair
next September. This will be one Of
the most interesting attractions ever
shown at Morgan's Grove, and includes
the highly exciting features of Wild
West life-cowboys, bucking bron-
chos, attack on stage coach, branding
steers, chariot races, hurdle races,
greyhound races, etc. 1t will be

The Martinsburg World says: GA
stream of twelve wagons and carts
poured out of the gates at the Au
burn Wagon Works and passing
through town en- route to North
Mountain gave the citizens Of Mar
tinsburg an idea Of the preparations
being made for the beginning Of work
on the new Baltimore and Ohio low
grade freight line from Cherry Run
to Wilson's, west of Martinsburg.
This lot of wagons and carts is the
first installment of a contract for
wagon and carts. The vehicles were
drawn by fine, large horses.
We call attention to the proclama
ton of Mayor Harrison elsewhere in
this paper, particularly that part Of
it which refers to the sanitary regula-
tons. Every householder ought to
have his premises in good order, not
only for the sake Of appearances, but
that the healthfulness of the town
may be promoted and kept at high
standard. A number of persons living
along the Main street have scraped the
street and had the dirt hauled away.
This ought to be done all the streetsso
that our town may present an attrac-
tive appearance next Monday.
The electric light committee of the
town council has decided to take off
the arc lights which now illuminate
Main and Princess streets and replace
them with incandescent lights. Fifty
candle-power incandescent lights
will be placed at each corner and an
additional light midway the squares.
1t is hoped to get better results this
way than by the present arrange
ment. E. R. Hill, who has been
engineer in charge of the plant, has
resigned, and the council will have to
choose his successor. The lamps for
the side streets have not yet been re-
ceived and darkness still prevails.
The boatmen on the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, who have been on a
strike for an increase in freight rates,
Saturday compromised with the ship
pers for an increase in the near future.
Over a hundred boats had been tied
up in the basin in Cumberland by the
strike, and the side tracks were crowd
ed with cars of coal. The William
sport boatmen have made no demand
upon the shippers for the advance in
rate. The shippers have maintained
neutral position throughout the strike.
They stated that they were not In
position to make an advance. Nearly
all branches of business in Williams
port was affected by the stagnation in
