COUNCILMAN ON. DARLINGTON
DIES SUDDENLY.

Councilman o. M. Darlington pas
sea away very suddenly at his home
on West Washington street inCharles
Town about z o'clock last Sunday
morning, aged II years. He had
been complaining for day or two,
but had been going about as usual.
AS had been his custom for the last
forty years or longer, he got M
bright and earlySunday morning and
made preparation to attend the Meth
odlst Sunday School, of which he had
been Superintendent for nearly for
ty years. Mrs. Darlington left him
down stairs dressing while she went
up stairs, and upon hearing a noise
she rushed down and found him on
the floor dead. The death of Mr..
Darlington was great shock to his
family and many friends, for his life
had been such that he had endeared
himself to all, and we don't believe
he had an enemy in the world. He
was an upright, genial Christian gen.
tleman, diligent and earnest work
er in the Masters vineyard, and his
faithfulness to his church andSunday
School was remarkable he not having
missed attending Sunday School for
the last twenty-seven years. He was
born at Puetown, near Winchester,
Va, in 1848, and after spending part
of his life in Winchester, Martins
burg and Shepherdstown, resided in
Charles Town for the last forty
years, where he conducted the plumb
ing business. He was an active mem
Der of the City Council, of Shenan-
doah Tribe of Red Men, and was
member Of theBoard of Stewards and
was Treasurer and Trustee of the
M. E. Church South at Charles Town.
He is survived by his widow and two
sons and one daughter by his first
wife, Charles D. Darlington, of New
York; Oscar Darlington and Mrs.
Thomas C. Ennis, of Charles Town;
two step-daughters, Mrs. William
League, of Charles Town, and Mrs.
Robert Inorganic Halltown; and two
brothers and five sisters, Messrs.J ohm
Darlington, of Winchester; James
Darlington, of Gainesville, Va, Mrs.
Columbus Mckenzie, of Winchester;
Mrs. Laura jefferson and Mrs. Ger
trude Zamzaw, of Baltimore, and two
sisters in the west. Funeral services

o'clock in the Methodist church. In
terment in Edge Hill Cemetery.

It's walls since that time. The old
walls, II they could speak, could toll
many story of muderers and felons
lncarcerated therein, and of more
than one suicide therein, as well as
several daring escapes.
1t was on this site that the old iail
IN which John Brown and his band
held in 1859, guarded by practically
the whole militia of the State of
Virginia. and many a stirring scene
was enacted Whereabouts.
The original jail building was a
two story brick, with the cells on the
front at the east end, with small
yard in front, and with the residence
at the west next to the Sadler build
ing. 1t was demolished during the
War Between the States, and at the
end of that conflict only the walls of
the first story were standing.
The old stone wall around the Jail
has been standing since the original
Jail building was built many years
ago, and is now being torndown. 1t
was over this wall that Edwin Copie
and John A. Cooke, two of John
Browns raiders tried to escape from
Jail early one frosty night in Deem
Der 1859, after they had been SEN
fenced to death for taking part in the
Instruction at Harpers Ferry, Octo-
Der II of the same year.
The two men worked a hole
through the brick wall of their cell,
concealing the particles of mortar
and brick in a stove, and had gotten
out in the Jail yard through the hole.
Out of pile of lumber found in the
Jail yard they improvised scaffold
against the wall. Mounting this Copie
to test the vigilance Of the armed
guard surrounding the jail,put his
hat on the end of stick and held it
over the wall
Tom Guard, member of the Berry
vile Company of Infantry, was on
guard duty in the alley and prompt
ly fired at the hat. The whole local
ity was Immediately in an uproar,
and the Jail was surrounded by over
a thousand troops in about five min
uteS.

In the report, which was forwarded
to Count Won Bernstorff, DIR. Schweitz-
er declared the German dye industry
would have no disqnality in holding the
American market in the face of the 30
per cent ad valorem duty, but that the
specific duties imposed under the law
would be more troublesome. He added
the Germans must sell more than 40
per cent of the derivaties and dyes in
the American market before the presi-
dent can abolish the specific duties as
the law provides will be done if so per
cent of the home consumption is not pro-
duced in America.

clared is an ideal center of. espionage

is necessary, he said, as it controls the
fate of three billion dollars worth a

made without it's products; it can pro-
vide and keep available in peace times

and Mrs. Wilson, tonight, after day Of
functions and sightseeing that taxed
the energies Of the American party.

and Belgians, it was removed in the
chamber of deputies when the president
was warmly applauded.

the realization that American aid was
not declining with the past; that now
is the time for credits, and it is pro-
posed to extend them.

Ten Regiments Suddenly Rushed
to Spots Reds Might

New York, June 1a.-Ten regiments
of the New York state guard demon
strated, tonight. what they could do BY
way of protecting the city in an emer-
gency, when they answered a test mob
ilization call and quickly threw cordons
of armed guards about buildings, power
houses, car barns, public utilities and the
homes Of prominent citizens.
Automobile trucks, filled with armed
men, dashed from armories to bridges,
power houses and other spots theoreti-
caly held to be in danger, and the
guardsmen carried out the practice drill
so grimly that, in many quarters, it was
believed they were to remain on guard
duty to protect the city from "red' out
break.
This belief was heightened by the Sec
recy thrown about the proceedings.
About 10000 men in all were mobil-
izad
