Tried to Kidnap a Boy.

The neighborhood of Mercersburg,
Pa, has been greatly excited the past
week by a bold attempt made last
Sunday to kidnap Seibert Smith, the
sixteen-year-old son of VIM. H. Smith,
a prosperous farmer. 1t was between
four and FIVE o'clock when the lad was
sitting on fence in the orchard near
his home when a large, broad-shoul-
dered man slipped up behind him and
in hoarse voice asked the lad if he
was William Smiths son. No sooner
had the boy replied that he was than
the stranger grabbed him and threw
a black bag over his head and COM
manded the youth to accompany him
without any noise.
Across clover field and over two
fences the lad was dragged, but when
he arrived in a corn field about fifty
yards from the house he refused to
accompany the stranger and fight
ensued. The youth is muscular and
large for his age and during the fstic
combat dealt his captor some severe
blows about the face and body, despite
the fact that his face was enveloped
in the bag.
After fierce fighting young Smith
broke away from the strange man and
jerking the bag from his head started
towards the house. 1t was then that
the kidnapper struck the lad terrible
blow on the back of the head with a
blunt instrument, rendering him un-
conscious, and fed.
From about 430 until s o'clock the
lad lay in the field in an unconscious
condition. His parents were much
agitated over their sons mysterious
disappearance and searched the barn
and made tour Of inspection Of the
nearby farm houses. When the lad
reached the house after his terrible
experience he was nervous and suffered
considerably from the shock.

An important Case to Shippers.

EDITOR REGIsTER:-A number OF live
stock shippers in West Virginia. Vir-
GINA, and Western States united to en-
pioy Hon. John Dewitt Warner, of New
York, Senator Daniel and Mr. Charles
Porterfeld as their attorneys in case
coming before our Supreme Court in
September The record states that
Wall, of Charles Town, delivered some
cattle to the n. Il W. Railway TO be car
ried by it the first part of the way and
by the Pennsylvania Railroad the last
part of the way to Jersey City. Several
Of them were killed while in the posses
sion of the Pennsylvania company,
which refused to make any satisfaction.
The amount involved was too small t.
Justify a suit at long distance from
the home of the plaintiff and his wit
nesses, and the Pennsylvania road con-
tended that it was not liable 10 suit out
side Of Pennsylvania. The attorney
for Wall surprised the railroads by at
taching Pennsylvania car found IN this
county and thus giving the court Jurls-
diction. The statute provides that
nonresident may be sued wherever he
has property. so the question comes
DelOTt the SupItult SOuANS "AlOAA4NA "a
railroad car is attachable ? One of the
counsel said If business men had a
conception how railroads muZZle polltl-
clans, they would vote, irrespective OF
party, against any candidate who did
not set railroad influence at defiance.
This subject is not understood by the
general public, because the shrewdeSt
and least scrupulous men money can
hire are employed to barricade access
to the ear of the people. The men put
forward to inspire newspaper editorials
and to make speeches suppress what
railroads wish kept from voters, and 1t
has become unaristocratic to'ventlIate
the character of information which the
rank and file should have.
Here are some facts The railroads
cost FIVE thousand millions, but are cap
italiZed at eleven thousand millions.
Here is six thousand millions Of ficti-
tious capitalization. Six per cent on 1t
is 800 millions, a sum equal to what
farmers receive for the nation wheat
crop. Again, less than 1000 men own
this six thousand millions Of fictitious
capitalization. Again, last year rail-
roads collected from the public l 800
millions. This is $40 on every 800 in
existence in this nation. 1t is over 500
per voter. It's three times the amount
collected for State, county, school dis
trict and city taxes, and the amount
collected increases each year. We
could fiji this page with information Of
this character. 1t is an open secret that
party managers insist that candidates
shall avoid talking about what would
educate voters on this subject. The
business men of the country may rest
assured that relief will not emanate
with men who accept the free-pasS bri-
berry. a VOTER.

fered with mango, and in order to

Concert at Harper's Ferry.

Last Saturday evening a concert OF Il
high order was held at the Summit
House." Harper's Ferry, and was large
ly attended and highly appreciated and
enjoyed. Most of the performers were
from out of town, among whom were
leading vocalists Of Washington. The
programme consisted of piano duet, rec
itations, and some remarkably fine Sc
lections upon the harp, by Miss Edyth
Marmion, of Washington. Mr.. c. e.
Wright, of Washington, who has very
fine tenor voice, sang solo with much
effect, and his wife, who is quite fin
ished elocutionst, recited several times
with great skill. Mrs. Domer and
Messrs. Weber and BrOsius, also Of
Washington, each favored the audience
with delightful vocal selections. The
latter gentleman has a fine baritone
voice and never fails TO please wherever
he sings. Miss Nellie Grimm, OF Ha-
gerstown, sang two beautiful songs,
which were much enjoyed. Mr.. f. IL.
Spohn, OF ShepherdstOwn, pleased his
listeners with two vocal selections,
which he rendered in his usual attrac-
tive style. Two brothers, the MeSSrS.
Winters, of Philadelphia added greatly
to the evenings entertainment. One
gave initiative recitationS in most
striking way while his brother sang di-
alect songs, with guitar accompaniment,
which brought down the house. s"
Last, but by no means least, the whist
ling Of Miss Rose Cunningham, Of Mar
tnsburg, delighted every one. She was
accompanied by Miss Marmion first on
the piano and then the harp.
The concert was pronounced sue
cess and the great applause accorded
each performer evidenced the appreci-
alton Of the audience.
A goodly sum was realized which is
to be used for the benefit OF st. Peters
Catholic church.
The performers received the hearty
thanks of the Harper's Ferry folks and
were handsomely entertained. In ev-
cry respect the concert was OF much
enjoyment, being of a high, classical
order, and was much praised by the
large audience, in which were many
music judges of ability.
