The various committees, appointed at the last mass meeting held to get up a Fourth of July celebration met in Gran than Hall Tuesday and consulted as to the plans of the celebration. Almost all the committees were represented and after reviewing the work already done by them, they decided to begin today and put new push and vim into their work and have a celebration that will far sur pass the expectations of all. Special trains will be run and special rates given. There will be different contests and amusements going on during the entire day, principally in the Public Square and for which different prizes will be offeted by the business men of the city. Firemen and bands and various uniformed organi zations from other cities will be present and eyerything will be done to make it a gala day for Martinsburg. The first thing brought before the meeting of the committees last night was a communication from Superintendent J. F. Boyd, of the C. V. railroad, stating that two special trains would leave this city at 9.30 o'clock at night, one for Hag erstown and one for Winchester, The train for Hagerstown will make connec tons with the regular train leaving there at 10.30 for Chanibersburg. Special rates will also be offered by the company. The invitation committee was then in structed to act with the Fire Department at its meeting tonight and invite the fol lowing organizations from the neighbor ing towns: Fire companies and their res pective bands, of Winchester, Shepherds town Fire Department and band; Charles Town Fire Department and band; Cham bersbtirg Fire companies and bands; Waynesboro Fire company and band; the Jones Spring and Shanghai bands. The Martinsburg organizations that will be invited to take part in the parade are: City and Comrey s Concert bands; Fire Department and Drum Corps, Lincoln Post Grand Army of the Repub lic ; Confederate Veterans and Sons of Veterans; Company C, ot the State mili tia ; Red Men ; Jr. O. U. A. M.; Uniform Rank K. of P., and D. of A. The above organizations, together with the numerous trades display and bicycle turnouts, will make quite a lengthy and interesting parade. In addition to the committees already appointed, Messrs. Max Robinson, I). S. Eichelberger and H. C. Perry were ap pointed as a committee on transportation, to see the railroad officials about the trans portation of the different visiting organi zations. A committee on trades display was also appointed, composed of M. S. Burdette, C. G. Smith and R. D. North, to wait upon the different merchants and business men of the city to get them to be repre s rnted in the parade. The soliciting committee has already collected a good sum, but are out after more. Business men be patriotic and donate liberally. Let us have a gigantic celebration. The fireworks, which will consist of a costly display, will likely be exhibited at the same place as last year, on the hill near the old fair grounds. Mr. Max Robinson, the manager of the Auburn Wagon Works, has offered a prize of $5 to the person in the bicycle parade with the wheel decorated the most novel way. It is expected, at least, it is hoped, that other business men will follow his example and offer like prizes. We will celebrate in glorious style. Help the committees in their work and remember it is not for their own good that they are working, but for your good and the good of the city. Lively Time. Tuesday evening Mr. John Furley and son Theodore came to town and after a few ho.urs stay here,left for their homes above Darkesville, feeling “pretty good.” At the Big Spring they stopped and met Mr. Furley’s son-in-la w Mr. David O. Bartles and they both threatened to kill him with stones. Mr. Bartles immediately came to town and had a warrant sworn out for their ar rest. The warrant was placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriffs Hollis and Hardy and they at once started in pursuit of the two. They arrived at the Furley home just about the time Furley’s did,and showed them the warrants and' placed them under arrest. Officer Hollis arrested the son and Mr. Hardy the father. The young man, who is a six footer, , asked the officer to wait until his wife got his hat and coat. Mr. Hollis consented , and while she was getting his clothing, he uttered an oath, jumped a fence and i ran. Mr. Hollis called to him to halt, but his shouts were unheeded. Mr. Hollis fired one shot into the air. This did not . stop him and Officer Hardy shot directly at him, followed by two straight shots from Mr. Hollis, none of the shots took effect, however, and Furley made good his escape. The officers returned to town with the one prisoner and in the morning about three o'clock they returned to the house, but Furley had come on to town by another route and gave himself up.
