" Hearing the racket Mr. Kain went from Ins store to the house and fried to go up stairs Tabler refused to let him up and threw a lighted lamp duwu the steps at him.

Officer Caldwell found the mad dened man in the act of demolish ing the property and attempted to arrest him. Tabler resisted arrest and a lively scuffle ensued. He was soon thrown to the ground and bound hand and feet by the officer and several deputized men. Blood was then flowing trom his head. Some snr that one ot the men struck him, while others say that he struck his head on the iron fence when he fell. After being carried a short] distance he promised to walk if un tied, but when his limbs were freed he got as bad as ever.

CARS. >1oip Freight Curs Will he Ordeml for l'ne on tli<* Komi Freight cars of tliree different classes have just been ordered tor the B. it (). and will be delivered in lots of 30 and 30. The cars ordered are said to be box cars modeled after the kind used on the P. R. K. wood amt steel gondolas. The great car famine of the pas' summer caused the road to loose thousands of dollars and the new management are guarding against any such state of affairs ill the future. For some time past the B. and O. have been using P. K. R. coal cars and some few box cars for the haul ing of grain hut the big system could not snare many of the latter ns they needed them for their own traffic. Coal cars are now at a prem ium ami as scnroe as hen 'eeth on the B and O. The Fairmont operators n ed GOO per day for the r trade alone, and for western shipments, these oars must l o stei 1 gondaols as none other are allowed to cross the Ohio river hr die at Belaire. The eastern shipments of the Watson's amount to between two and two hundred and fifty carloads a day. These big opperators are in arrears with their orders oil account of the scarcity of cars and they are opening up new coal fields, and doubling their contrails, twice as many cars will he needed in the future. It is said that only one third of the grain, in the west has so far been shipped to the seaboard as it is impossible to tiro cure cars. The grain for foreign ports is being hustled through as rap idly as trains can lie made up, hut some days only eight or ten trail’s can be shippied east when between forty and fifty were expected. The • B. and O. gets the hulk of this traffic and with more cars business will be enormous. _i M ITOVEH i»kai> iioiisk.

Omwake has returned from a trip to eastern cities including Bal timore, Jersey City and New York, which, he as trustee in bankruptcy, made in compaiiny with a detective for the purpose of locating as much as "possible of the $15,000 stock of goods purchased by the Spiros and which, if is charged they fraudulent ly disposed of or concealed. Mr. Omwake and the detective found a large part of the stock, some of it in storage warehouses and some hidden in private houses. He has instituted legal proceedings to recover the property he found. Althogether there were discovered secreted 92 cases of goods of various kinds m New York city, six in Jer ev City and five in Carlisle, but this does not represent all of the goods disposed^of. The lot of fit! cases was shipped from Baltimore to .Jersey City and then to New York City about the time of the arrest, and stored in the loft of a private hruse. All the goods were stored under fictit ious names and tnanv of them in trunks, of which the Spiros bought targe quantities some time before their faiinre. Suit has been brought against the I Bank of Waynesboro bv W. T. Om wnbe, ns trustee in bankruptcy, to recover 91.500 to the credit of the Spiros in that institution. The money. Mr. Omwake insists, is part of the money derived from the sale of the local stock, which is not the property of * he Spiros but legally be longs to their creditors. PAN-AMERICAN STAMPS.

The executive committee of the Board of Trade held a busmens meet ing Friday night and considered sev eral matters of importance. The chief purpose for which the meeting was calleo was to consider a proposition from the Williamsport Chair and Couch Company, which wants to locate here, Tne compan y wants to remove the plant here and start into business on a large scale. The citizens of Martinsburg are asked to take $40,000 worth of stock in the plant, thereby giving them tne controlling interest. The proposition was received through Mr. Soree, through whom the drill company proposition wus made and he asked for an answer at once. The executive committee decided not to attempt this proposition, as they deemed it better to locate one plant at a time. The letter from the secretary of the drill company stating whv the meet | ing could not be held witn the Board of Trade committee at the set date i was read The letter stated that the chief stockholder in the Company was j ill in New York and therefore could not be present at the meeting. The regret of the company at the unfortu nate breaking of the appointment was expressed in the letter and it was further stated that as soon as the stockholder sufficiently recovers to be present at the meeting the date will be set. All arrangements for the commit tee's trip to the meetimr place were [completed. More money is needed to raise the subscrptions to the desir ed amount.

There was then a sudden trans formation of feeling between the officer and prisoner and instead of putting him in an iron cage to spend the night on a hard board for a bed, the officer invited his cousin, who turned out to be Robert Staley, of Shepherdstown, to partake of the hospitality of his home, where he spent, the night on a feather bed. This did very well for the two cousins, but Officer Burnett says he does not fancy turning over prisoners to officers who take them home and entertain them. MILITARY BAND APPUINTMKMT.

The auditor at Charleston is again going after agents who come under the state tax law with a sharp stick. This time he is prodding those who sell sewing machines and have «.ir cusses. Orders have been received bv B erbeiev County Assessors, similar ones having been issued to all coun ty assessors, to go after the sewing machine men and collect from each agent $10 a rear license tax. The anitor it is also said does not think that the circus tax is being enforced to the limit m all counties. It is likely that the effort to tax sewing machine agents will result in a big legal battle in the courts. The I law under which this tax can be j levied is said to be a relic of ancient days when the State deemed it tieces I sary to have a “line’'on all agents to prevent fraudulent transactions. The rax has not been assessed for many I vears and it seems doub*ful if it can be revived at this late day wthout a battle in the courts. It is learned on unofficnl authority that the Singer Sewing Machine Company, which has an agency here, will fight it to the court of last resort They claim fbat they already ray tuxes in the State and to levy a special tax on each man they employ is indeed run- i ing it into the ground, to use a time-worn expression. The State authorities are not pleased at the auditor’s move although they admit that unde, the law he is right. The circus tax is a heavy one j being about 160 a day for shows charging 50 cents admission. Shows charging less admission are taxed to the same tune, and this is oranded as an injustice of the most palpable kind. The auditor’s office is also on the lookout for other agents. The sew ing machine tax it is argued by the contv officers will really come out ot the Dockets of the poor sewing girls. As it is the life of a sewing machine peddler is said *o be nnremnerative enough. UNIQUE NOTICE. Kollce Poalfd by n Preston ronuljr Knrinrr for tile llrnettt of llnntrrs.
