terpretatlons of the great authors
plays and poems. Mr.. Warde had
some eplgrams and qnips of his own
that we've most pleasing, and there
wasn't dull moment IN the two hours

him. He reclted many of the strong
passages and beautiful sentiments from
Shakespeare's best works, ard through
all his lecture, with the pleasing anu
entertaining of his audience. there ran
d golden thread of truth and morality
and spiritual elevation that was all
the more effective because it was in

good. 1t has had excellent effect up

characters that Mr.. Warde so charm
inglv portrayed The management Of

Law Suit And Its Result.

An interesting law suit was tried
before Magistrate D S R-ntch Oh
tuesday. IL appears that Frank CAR
ter had loaned money aud endorsed 4
note for Joseph Mundey to enable the
latter to conduct q restaurant on Prln
cess street. Mr. Mundey gave as
partial security to Mr.. Carter life
insurance policy, which WAS to be
held by Mr.. Carter, The restaurant
was closed last week, and many cred
itors were LETT lamenung. The note
in bank went to protest, and Mr.. Car.
ter had the bag to hold. Mr.. Nun
dey on Tuesday sued Mr. Carter to re-
cover the insurance policy, Attorney
Snyder, of Martinsburg, appearing for
the former, and Geo. D. Moore, Of
Charles Town, for the latter. Ma
istrate RantcL dec ded the case in IA
vor of Mr.. Carter. It would take a
Philadelphia lawyer to figure out the
value OF the policy to Mr. Carter, 'ni
be felt that he was not getting the
satisfaction that be ought to have. He
determined to have whack at Mr..
Mundey, who seemed to have repaid
his tavors with base iDgrstltu1e, aud
meeting him yesterday on the street
he went after him with both fists.
Mr.. Munday was not down to fight
ing weight and appeared to get the
worst OF the scrimm4ge. Mr.. Carter
having thus relieved his feelings, vent
before Mayor Schley, confessed to his
lnfraction OF the law, paid his fine and
went on his way rejolcing-m re or

A Beautiful Winter Scene.

A beautiful winter snow storm pre-
vailed throughout this section on Tues
day and covered the ground with q
mantle of purest white about seven
ches in thickness. The snow began
to fall about hnlt-past twelve o'clock,
and from that time until late into the
night it came down fast and steadily,
driven by an east wind. The clouds
passed away in the night, and when
the sun came out clear and bright yes
terday morning the scene was one of
enchanting loveliness. The air was
still aud clear, the earth was dazzling
IN it's white purity, and the trees and
shrubbery were clothed in festoons Of
rarest beauty. The soft white gar
ments that embodied the town made it
appear more beautiful than it has ev-
er seemed before, and brought thoughts
of that other town that nineteen hun
dred years ago lay under the radiance
of a great star, where angels rang a
song of peace and good will, and
where child wrapped in swaddling
clothes Was lying in a manger.

The coroner's jury rendered verdict
that the accident was caused by using
inferior sand in making the concrete
work and attempting to place the iron
work on the pier before the concrete
had time to properly set. Engineer
W. X D4u, who has had charge Of
the N. &. w. work in Shepherdstosn,
where great, high concrete piers have
beeu erected, gave expert testimony
before the jury. He gave 1t as his
opinion that the coucrete piers at Will

,co large, aud that the concrete pier
wns too green to sustain the iron work
The construction OF the bridge through
out seems to be very cheap, and this
with the haste with which the work
was pushed seems to be the main
cause Of the disaster.
