death Monday at Wheeling. A

caught fire, and it looked as though

hands being unable to rescue him.
Two sections following the wrecked
train, and having on board the circus,
were tagged. With her trunk Bacil
lifted the wreckage from the body of
the engineer. and he was taken out
just as the flames reached him. Eight
other elephants were organized into
a fire brigade, going to the Oh io river,
filling their trunks and extinguishing
the blaze.

Loses to Martlnsburg.


Martinsburg 8, Shepherdstown q;
and thereby hangs tale of much
bloodshed and hard luck. Martins.
burg came here last Saturday with
blood in their eye. They meant to
get back at Shepherdstown for beat
ing them so badly, and they did.
They brought with them as their bat
terry Nicodemus and Anderson, both
of whom play on the Martinsburg
league team. And they were backed
by good strong team, only two of
whom played in the last game here.
The trouble began in the first inning,
when Martinsburg landed fly ball
over the right field fence and brought
in two runs, After that it was pretty
much one.sided. This, however, is
partly accounted for by the fact that
no less than four of our men were
crippled in the game, necessitating a
change of positions, which was fatal.
Kerens was obliged to retire from the
game on account of an injured hand,
Triplett was spiked, and Rogers and
Orowl were also slightly injured.
Rightstine was in the box for the
home team. Martinsburg had to their
credit FIVE hits and three earned runs,
and Shepherdstown got four hits and
two earned runs. So, after all. it
wasn't 30 bad for crippled team.

The barn, which was large and
well constructed building, was filled
with the seasons crops of wheat and

The country weekly newspapers in
the State are realizing that the rate OF
one dollar year for their publicationsis
no longer adequate to the cost OF publf-
cation. The expense OF printing news
papers has so increased the past yeai
that 1t is no longer possible for pub
Usher OF q weekly newspaper to realize
sufficient profit to warrant the labor and
expense that it is necessary TO devote to
such publication. Many Of these papers
have already advanced their subscrip-
ton price form one dollar to a dollar
and a-half per year. Grafton Sentinel.
The Sentinel speaks the words Of
truth and soberness. The enormous
increase in the price of printing paper
and everything else used in a printing
office, not to speak of the great ad-'
vance in the cost of living in general,
makes an increase in subscription rates
a necessity if publishers are to receive
fair remu neration for their labor. We
venture the assertion that few country
newspapers in this State are making
more than bare subsistence at the
rate of dollar year. 1t is worse
than foolish to continue this state of
affairs, for when one does the hard
work and takes the knocks and bumps
that the average editor gets. he ought
to have more than bread and meat
he ought to be laying up something
for rainy day, at least.

A Desperate Character Behind the Bars4

desperate CnaraCtcf bcninu tuc DdiSf
A serious disturbance occurred at
Morgan's Grove fair grounds Tuesday
morning. A burly fellow by the
name Of @. E. Tabler, from Martins
burg, had rented space for lunch
stand and lad gotten in the wrong
location. When requested to move a
little distance to one side he refused
to do so, and became violent and
abusive to Secretary E. T. Licklider.
Constable Geo. W. Thompson, of Kear-
neysville, who was serving as special
policeman, was called for, and as he
went to the stand Tabler drew re-
volver and threatened to kill him.
Quick as fash Constable Thompson
knocked the pistol from the fellows
hand before it could be fred, and in
another moment had the nippers on
him. As he was being taken to head
quarters Tabler, who is large and
powerful man, kicked Secretary Lick
lider fearful blow in therstomsch,
knocking him down and taking the
wind out of him for time. After a
hearing at the grove the man was
brought to town, where Magistrate
Lee Fl. Moler further considered the
case and committed Tabler to the
county Jail at Charles Town to await
the action of the grand jury. Con.
stable M. P. Orowl thereupon took
him to Charles Town, but landed him
in the bastile only after considerable
trouble. With John Shipley as driv-
er oil the team, Mr.. Orowl started with
his prisoner about noon. Owing to the
fact that Tabler has but one hand. he
could not be conveniently handcufed.
At Shenandoah junction he got out
of the vehicle, and announced that
he was ready to die before he went
any farther. Messrs. Shipley and
Crowl had their hands full with the
obstreperous prisoner for time, but
they finally succeeded in overcoming
him, forced him into the buggy, and
eventually landed him behind the
bars of the county Jail, mighty glad
to be rid of him. Tabler is giant
in size and strength, and seems to be
a desperate character. 1t is said that
his record is bad one, and we learn
that he has. given trouble at Morgan's
Grove fair on former occasions.
