We congratulate ex Gov. Robin

it, Miss Borden seems to “be a wo

be a quantity of kindness in her na

Judge Hoar and General Butler
were opponents in a case of a new
trial. Gen. Butler quoted: “Eye
for eye,skin for skin, tooth for tooth,
yea, all that a man hath, will he give
for his life.” To which Judge Iloar
replied: “Yes, the devil quoted that
once before in a motion for a new
trial.” ^_
Gen. Longstreet lives in what is
described as “a white pine bandbox
of a house,” near the ruins of his fine
old mansion, in Central Georgia,
which was destroyed by fire a few
years ago. The house he now occu
pies faces the Blue Mountains, and
commands a view of unsurpassed
beauty. The Confederate veteran is
now seventy-two years old, and a
man of patriarchal aspect.
Governor McGraw, of the State of
Washington, “went west” eight or
ten years ago, arriving in San Fran
cisco with $42 in his pocket. He
sent $40 home to his wife, and began
his western life as a horse car dri
ver. He made his way to Seattle,
where he became sheriff, hotelkeeper
and lawyer, and finally one of the
most prosperous and popular men in
the new State. He is about forty
years old.

Huntington, W. Ya., June 17—
J. M. Biens, a middle aged man, and
a prominant citizen of Welch, Mc
Dowell county, had a narrow escape
from death in this city this evening.
He arrived here and put up at a ho
tel, and being tired, repaired to his
room for rest. It appears from what
can be learned, that Biens got up in
his sleep, and deliberately walked out
of a window, falling thirty feet. He
was picked up later and found to
have sustained bad though not seri
ous injuries.
Instant Death by the Cars.—
One of the saddest accidents that
has occurred in this county for years
happened last Sunday morning, at
Kearneysville, and in a short time
the whole city was saddened by the
intelligence that Elmer Bogart, the
little 6-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Bogart, had been killed by
the cars.
Mrs. Bogart, who with her other
child, was the only witness of the
accident, started early Sunday morn
ing from Martinsburg to spend the
day with relatives living near Kcar
neysville. When the train arrived
at the station .they were assisted
in dismounting on the left side, and
after alighting little Elmer, starting
ahead, was crossing the north track
and noticing a fast approaching
freight, attempted to reach safety at
his mother’s side, but before her
very eyes the little fellow was struck
by the train, hurled some distance,
and instantly killed, his neck beiDg
broken. Mrs. Bogart was powerless
to prevent the accident, and the
shock has nearly killed her. After
the freight passed friends went to her
assistance. Mr. Bogart was imme
diately notified and an extra engine
conveyed him to the scene. The
body which was very slightly dis
figured, was taken to the residence
of Mr. J. Baker Kearfott, father of
Mrs. Bogart, on John street, and
prepared for burial. The funeral
services were held on Monday after
noon by Rev. Dr. Hoffheins.
With the grief-stricken parents
we scarcely know how to sympa
thize. Sympathy indeed, poorly
fills that dreadful vacancy which
they feel in their family circle, but
if condolence avails we surely weep
with them
Death or a Promising Young
Man.—We chronicle with sadness
the death of Claude Santman, aged
21, the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W.
Santman, which occurred at 3 o’clock
Thursday morning. This is the se
cond time within a comparatively
short space, that death has entered
this family, and the blow is doubly
severe. Claude was a bright young
man, popular with all our people,
and his friends were many. We con
do’e with the parents in their pecu
l arly distressing bereavement.
A Splendid Selection.—Several
weeks ago Miss Kate Malthaei, of
this city, was invited to Wilson
College, at Cbambersburg. She has
been selected from a large number of
applicants, to represent the musical
department of that well known insti
tution. Miss Matthaei is a graduate
of the Conservatory of Music, of
Leipzig, Germany, and has won many
laurels in music circles. Her many
friends here will miss her very much.
It is Martinsburg's lo s and Cham
bersburg’s gain. We wish her suc
cess in her new field of usefulness.
A Cow Milked by a Snake.—The
Sharpsburg correspondent of ■ the
Antietam Valley Record is responsi
ble for the following snake and cow
story: A cow belonging to John H.
Suavely, a farmer living about two
miles south of Sharosburg, wae ob
served to stop and bellow regularly
at a large tree in the lane, while the
cattle were being driven from the
field. Some boys watched her and
observed a large black snake ap
proach and milk the cow. Driving
her home, they told Philip Lumm,
who works on the farm, who got in
to the tree with a gun and waited
for results. When the cows Came
from the field, this particular cow
stopped at the tree and bellowed,
when the snake appeared and was
shot by Lumm. The snake was
nearly six feet long.

Peculiarities of the Year —
A study of the calendar for 1893
will show some peculiarities. To be
gin with it commences and ends on
Sunday, and contains all or part of
fifty-three weeks. Each of the eeven
days of the weeks has the honor of
being the first day of at least one
month ; three of the months begin on
Wednesday, while Sunday, Thursday
and Saturday are each the natal day
for two months. There are three
months, April, July and December,
that cover part of six weeks each.
Washington’s birthday cameon Wed
nesday, and decoration day and the
glorious 4th of July fall on Tuesday.
Thanksgiving day will fall on Thurs
day, the last day of Nov. and will be
the latest Thanksgiving celebrated
in the last decade, in fact.it can nev
er be later in the year. Santa Claus
will visit us on Monday. As this is
the World’s Fair year, all the pecu
liarities are excusable.—Ex.
A Young Suicide.—At noon
last Saturday the dead form of
David Weaver, a young farm hand
was found hanging in the upper
story of Mr Abram Martin’s barn,
near the Middleburg pike, about four
miles from Hagerstown. It was in
such a positon to allow of no other
conclusion than that Weaver had
voluntarily jumped from a beam to
his death. He was hanging by a
stout wagon line and lie was stone
dead, when discovered by Mr. Jos.
Martin who superintends the farm.
Weaver was about nineteen years of
age. Earlier in the morning he had
expressed himself as not being very
well, but this was no unusual thing.
He did not take any breakfast. The
other men went to work and he went
to the barn. It was persumed that
he was lying there on the hay as he
has often done when not feeling well.
Instead he had committed a deed
which filled his friends with borrow.
Gossiping.—In all this beautiful
valley, gossiping has no where reach
ed the perfection to which it has at
tained in Martinsburg. Here old
gray-haired women and sportive las
sies meet and discuss and ridicule
their particular favorites. They
make more marriages than the min
isters, more sin than the devil, more
quarrels than teachers, more gossip
than rivals. Day unto day uttereth
rumor and night unto night darkcn
eth character. Still they ply their
dangerous and damaging tongues.
It would be well to pause and think
that a false report gains credence
and a name once even unjustly tar
nished, never regains its fair respect.
The world is t- c lull of sorrow, too
full of pain and bitterness, to unnec
essarily do injury to another. Do
we tread on your toe ? Take it out
of the way. Permit other people to
enjoy life and do not attribute quali
ties of vice and evil to them, which
only exists in your imagination.
Young maidenhood—young man
hood—virtue, honor, respectability,
these are more valuable than wealth
or position. Gray heads,—women
for whom the roses of beauty and
enjoyment have withered—don’t gos
sip away the happiness, and purity,
and character ofothers—of theyoung
and living.
Harris-Wolees.—One of the
prettiest weddings of the season was
that of Mr. David Fulton Harris, of
Washington, D. C., and Miss Lena,
eldest daughter of Mr. Louis Wolfes,
formerly of this city, now of Anna
polis, Md., which occurred in St.
John’s Lutheran church, in this city
at 12.30 Wednesday afternoon. The
church had been beautifully decorat
ed by the loving hands of friends
with beautiful flowers, and at the al
tar a lovely pyramid of ferns, geran
iums, palms, etc. was erected. The
bride entered at the south door,lean
ing on the arm of Charles Harris,
brother of the groom and best man,
who were preceded by Messrs. Hen
ry Wolfes and U. S. G. Pitzer, ush
ers, and Miss Fannie Wilen, flower
girl, and pagsed up the aisle to the
sweet strains of the wedding march,
rendered by Mr. Albert Darby. The
groom entered the north door, with
Miss Mazie Wilen, bridesmaid on his
arm, and preceded by Messrs. W.R.
Bisel and Dr. L. R. Pennington,
ushers, and Miss Clara Wolfes,flow
er girl, passed up the aisle. Bride
and groom met at the altar, where
Rev. Chas. Trump, in an impressive
manner soon made them man and
wife. The bride was handsomely
attired in white silk castelle, trim
med in silk corded lace, diamond
v.u«u.vuum eauicu UUUC o lUDCn
and ferns. The bridesmaid wort'
white India silk, trimmed in soil
lace, and carried white roses. The
flower girls wore white India silk,
trimmed with baby ribbon, each car
rying baskets of lilies. ThG groom
wore the conventional black broad
cloth.
The happy couple were imme
diately driven to the B. & 0. R. R.
depot, where they took the 1.35
train for Washington and the north
ern cities. They were attended by a
large crowd of admiring friends and
well-wishers.
An infare was held at the residence |
of Mr. Wm. Wilen, on Tuesda\ i
evening, at which many friends and
relatives were present and a bounte
ous repast was then served.
Miss Lena has made her home
here for some time past, and has at
tracted many warm friends to her
side by her pleasant manners and
fine musical talent. She has always
been a favorite here. Mr. Harris is
a qniet and pleasant young gentle
man, has long been connected with
the Y. M. C. A. work, of Baltimore
and Washington, and during his brief
sojourn here made manv pleasant
acquaintances. Quite a 'number of
his friends from a distance attended.
The presents received were num
erous, costly and handsome.
Life now lies before this happy
young couple. May it be full of
prosperity, love and usefulness. May
there be only enough eorrow in it to i
make it real. Our best wishes and
warmest congratulations attend them.

The Thrifty Fugitive.
Baltimore, June 16.—Win. Pink
ney, who with another negro named
Barber, is about to be hanged for
the murder ot Francis M. Bowie, of
Marlborough, Prince George’s coun
ty, told to-day his remarkable es
cape from jail.
He cut his chains with broken
glass and got out of prison, and for
seventeen days hid within a few
miles of the town. Knowing the
woods thoroughly, he eluded the
hundreds of pursuers who were daily
beating the bushes for him.
He would approach persons and
talk with them and then go away be
fore they could capture him. He
says the reason that he did not go
far away was that he was afraid of
the towns like Washington, and he
couldn’t swim the river.
“ I hid in the woods the whole
time,” he said. “I found an old
frsrf.nt* ortrl 11 aorl f a oloort nn/lAti if
- --r --
every night. I used often to come
over near Marlborough and I used
to see all the people.
“ The day they had the horse race
I was on the other side of the branch
and saw the whole thing, and I saw
Sheriff Middleton get into his buggy
two or three times. I was going to
give myself up and one night I came
up almost to the jail and was going
to knock on the door and tell them
I had come back, and then I thought
I would not.”
Pinkney says he agreed to surren
der on condition that one-third of
the reward should be given to his
wife. He is now chained to the floor
the chain being attached by an iron
band which was riveted by two
blacksmiths He denies that he shot
Mr. Bowie, and puts all the blame
on Barber.
Some Interesting Information.—
We have obtained from Hon. E. B.
Faulkner some interesting informa
tion relative to the past history of
West Virginia, and which we gladly
present to our readers. Judge Faulk
uer, in looking over some old records,
papers, etc., jotted down the facts,
and it will be of value to future gen
erations to have them compiled.
Since the formation of the State of
West Virginia, there have been nine
persons who have consecutively rep
resented the Second Congressional
District, in the following order:
William G. Brown, George R. La
tham, Bethuel M. Kitchen, James C.
McGrew, J. Marshal Hagans, Chas.
J. Faulkner, Benj. F. Martin, John
Blair Hoge, and William L. Wilson,
the present representative.
In the same length of time we have
had nine judges of the circuit of
which Berkeley county is a part;
four of these have come from Jeffer
son county, four from Berkeley, and
one from Morgan. They served in
the following order: John W. Ken
i.edy, L. P. W. Balch, Joseph A.
Chapline, Ephraim B. Hall, John
Blair Hoge. Chas. J. Faulkner, Jr.,
Frank Becliwith, Joseph S. Duck
wall, and E. Boyd Faulkner, who
was appointed to fill the unexpired
term of J. S. Duckwall, who died
while on the bench. Judge Faulk
ner was elected at the last general
slection.
It might be icterestingto note here
that Judge Faulkner has been mak
ing an effort to keep down the ex
peuses of court; and as a measure of
his success, as can be seen from the
following statement, we note that the
ury expenses have been reduced
fully 50 per cent. Grand and petit
iury expenses for 1888, $1,654.10;
for 1889, $1,105.45 ; for 1890, $1,267.
60 ; for 1891,$1,167.10; and for 1892,
his first year, $856.40.
Few, if any persons at all, know
that a noted jurist, who afterwards
served as a Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, was born
in this county. His name was Rob
ert Trimble. He was born in Ber
keley county, Virginia, (now West
Virginia,) in 1776, and when an
infant removed to Kentucky.
Five years after he began to prac
tice law he was appointed a Justice
of ( i*-: Court of Appeals of Kentucky,
vs d not a great while afterwards was
tendered the Chief Justiceship of said
court, but declined the honor. He
»as muerwarns appointed judge ot
the District Court of Kent ..cky, in
1816, by President Madison, and on
May 9th, 1826, President Adamsap
pointed him a Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, from
which he was removed by death in
1828. It is said “that a greater pro
portion of the opinions written by
Justice Trimble have formed the
foundation upon which later rulings
of the court found support, than
those prepared by any other Jus
Lice.'7
Berkeley county was also the
birthplace of another character well
known in the earlier history of our
government, William Crawford, the
moving spirit of “Crawford’s Cam
paign.” He was born in this county
in 1732. Alter reaching maturer
years he became Surveyor,and asso
ciate of Washington. In the famous
war in which Braddock made his ex
pedition against Fort Duquesne, he
was with that general, and was a
colonel of the 5th Virginia Regiment
n 1782, He tormed the expedition
igainst the Wyandottes and Dela
wares, and in that expedition was
captured by the Indians and burned
Lo deatli. This is what was known
is the “<■ raw ford Campaign.”
We will, in a later issue, give all
■he representatives of the legislature
lince the State had a legislature, and
;he years in which the various mem
Jers served.

Miss Borden Not Guilty.
New Bedford, Mass., June 2(1.—
Mies Lizzie Borden is a free woman.
The great trial ended this afternoon
in a verdict of ‘ not guilty.” No ef
fort was made to check the wild out
burst of enthusiasm over the jury’s
decision. Her friends never doubt
ed her innocence. Public opinion
has been in her favor from '.he first
and eoerybody seem3 satisfied.
Among the peculiarities of tbs
morning was the receipt of a box by
Gov. Robinson, sent from Pennsyl
vania in which was a small handle
less hatchet. The true inwardness
of the gift was not apparent, and the
box was not removed from the jani
tor’s room. Miss Borden entered
the room at 8:55, and Govefnoi
Robinson took a seat beside her and
the two engaged in conversation un
til court opened.
Court came in at nine o’clock, and
the district attorney picked up his
thread of argument where he drop
ped it last night. He congratulated
the jury upon the near approach oi
the end. The counsel who opened
the case for the defense said that the
motive was a part of the govern
ment’s case, but the speaker said this
was not so, although the considera
tion of motive has weight in elucida
ting the facts in the case. Motives
however, are neither adequate, nor
even tolerable, when considered in
connection with a crime. The mo
tives of mankind are as inscrutable
as are the ways of Divine Providence.
It does afford satisfaction to our
reasoning to have discovered that
there were unfortunate conditions in
that family from which ire can sus
pect even tho malice existing. I
have ealled your attention to the
way in which they lived under the
same roof. It impresses me deeply,
as I am sure it did you. The malice
was all before the fact. The wicked
ness, the ingratitude had gone on
under that roof for many, many
months.
Because the lips of those who do
know are sealed in death, we don’t
know but that some new phase had
come up in the family life adding to
the feeling of malice and jealousy ex
isting in this woman. No sugges
tion could be made by that poor man
as in favor of his wife but would fan
the flames into unquenchable fire.
There may be that in th:s case which
shows that Lizzie Andrew Bordon
did not plan to kill her father, and I
hope so.
AS FOR THE
^LOblOljS toll kin
gentlemen, why I desire to

Three Sorts of Men.
For our purpose the notable*
among mankind are divisible into 3
classes : the lost souls, who had their
portion here and now, and sousrht
and found nothing permanent; the
elect, who did the right thing in the
right spirit,—who “gotthere” in the
best sense, and took their tellows
along; and an intermediate set in
limbo, whose hearts were right but
their heads mixed, so that they wore
the wrong uniform and did more
harm than good. These last, accord
ing to St. Raul and F. W. Robert
son, having built amiss on the true
foundation, escape naked when their
houses are burned over their heads,
and have no works to show. It looks
as if their failh were crooked too,
for a man ought not only to love and
seek Truth, but to be able in some
sort to distinguish between the true
and the false. What else where his
brains given him for?—F. Bird, in
July Xippincott's.

And a good lamp
must be simple; when it is not simple it is
not good. Simple, Beautiful, Good—these
words mean much, but to see “The Rochester”
will impress the truth more forcibly. All metal,
plough and seamless, and made in three pieces only
it is absolutely safe and unbreakable. Like Aladdin’s
of old, it is indeed a “wonderful lamp," for its mar,
velous light is purer and brighter than gas light,
softer than electric light and more cheerful than either.
