Staunton, July A. C. Moore, a well-known physician of Shenandoah County, in attempting to locate a leak in the gasoline tank of his automobile by means of a lighted match, recently received injuries that almost cost him his life. All the hair was burned from his head and his ears and neck painfully scorched, his assitant, George Shown, being hurled out of the building in which the machine stood. Dr.

Moore is still suffering great pain although he is now considered out of any actual danger. OVERLAND SIX-CYLINDER Important Announcement in the Automobile Trade. An announcement of more th'an usual interest to the general automobile trade and the public, but more particularly to the many dealers who handle Overland cars, has just come from J. N. Willys, presi dent of the Willys.Overland Com-j pany.

As announced some time ago, Willys will materially Increase his production of four-cylinder for 1915. while the new six-cylinder Overland, whose preparation has been so carefully guarded, will, for one thing, serve the purpose of giving Overland dealers a line of cars so complete and inclusive as to enable them to satisfy the varying demands of their customers with the product of a single manufacturer. The six-cylinder addition to the Overland line will retail at $1,475.00, at which figure it has all the appearance of a record-breaking value that is unattainable to any but an old and well-equipped, quantity-producing manufacturer like J. X. Willys.

In appearance the Overland Six is stylish and impressive, and, according to the manufacturers, a revelation in service. The wheel base is 125 inches. The long stroke motor is rated at 15-50 horse-power, the handsome streamline body seems to indicate fleetness and power. Tires are 45x I 1 .1 1.1 J.

FALL OF SCAFFOLD. Some alarm was experienced by workmen employed in the construction of the new moving picture build. ing on the north sidf of King street, near Alfred, this morning when a scaffold containing a man, a pile of and some mortar fell with a loud crash. It was naturally supposed that the workman had been jured, if not killed, but he emerged from the debris none the worse from his experience. Ice Cream and Cake for picnics.

WEDNESDAY; Hd ToiEnffiiy Stragglers from Kelly's Army Warned of Consequences of Stopping Here. Since the appearance near Alexandria of an army of itinerants under "General" Kelly, the police of this city have been kept busy in making such of the band as invade town to move on. They occasionally encounter on'ri rlis.

WI1U (1IC llJipuuvuv uow posed to argue the constitutionality of being made to play the part of the Wandering Jew. Such specimens' are arrested and brought before the Police Court, when they are given but one hour in which to nuke their way outside this bailiwick. Three itinerants of the genus referred to were placed before the bar this morning. They were of the mild-natured stripe, and were allotted the usual time in which to wake tracks. They accepted the situation, lhankj the court and turned their faces toward the north.

2 Alexandria has for many years been infested by tramps. In fact, the city was given a world-wide ad! vertisement at one time from the fact that what was known as Schuker's bprn, was at that time standing and used as a roost. Hoi boes upon reaching the confines of this city inquired the way to this rookery. A tramp was brought before Police Court many years ago. He had made his way to this retreat 'upon the direction of a nomad he met in Liverpool.

The barn was destroyed bv fire some time ago. U. S. DISTRICT COURT. The United States District Court, with Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr.

A scene was enacted late yester, day afternoon aboard an electric car just as it was leaving this city for Washington, when an officer of Fort Washington captured an alleged escaped military prisoner at the point of a revolver.

There was consternation among the women passengers, but the officer assured them that there would be no shooting. The man with the gun was Lieut. Thompson, of Fort Washington, and the man covered by the gun, it is said, was Charles Jolly, who for more than an hour had been making an effort to elude his pursuers from the fort. Lieut. Thompson marched him off the car with the muzzie of the pistol close behind him.

KFIER MONUIENT it i Alexandria Firemen Want Shaft Re. moved from Ivy Hill to This City. Some lime ago the Gazette called attention to a movement which had been inaugurated for removing the monument erected to the memory of Icnf their lives at a conflagration in the ok! Smith china store, on the north side of King street, between Fairfax and Lee, early on the morning of November 17, 1855. The deaths were all caused by the collapse of the north wall i ter the fire had been placed under control. The matter was discussed last night at a meeting of the joint com' mittee of the three companies.

It is stated that these organizations arc working in harmony to secure i success of the enterprise. The was erected by public subscription in 185G to the memj ory of George Plain. Robert I. lor, John A. Roach, James W.

Keene, William S. Evans, J. Carson Greene, and David Appich volunteer firemen, who were victims of the accident. The memorial is a marble shaft i feet high and -1 by -1 at the base, Those who favor the plan to bring the monument into the city direct i attention to the fact that the men I whose names arc on it were buried in various cemeteries; that in its present location it is seen by com! paratively few peisons, and that it belongs in a prominent position in the city where the men lost their lives. It is understood that the coni sent of city council and the State legj islaturc must be obtained before the monument can be placed on a public street, and the trustees of the come.

tery also must agree before the nlans; can be brought to a successful 1 culmination. The proposition will I first be taken up with the trustees of the cemetery. i The mcnument was dedicated one year after the 17. 185(5. The money required for the shaft was raised by private subj scription.

Ivy Hill cemetery had i been open but a short time, and that pen rat ion supposed the city would in a short lime extend its boundaries west, when the monument would be I found in prominent position The people who furnished the money for the shaft favored the present site, The city, however, did not push in the direction supposed, and as time went on it was found that compara; tively few persons were aware of the fact that the monument existed. An organisation was effected at the meeting last night, and the folj lowing officers were elected: i President, John H. Trimyer. Secretary, C. E.

Howell. Treasurer, William A. Smout. 1 SCHOOLS CONSOLIDATED. McKinlcy And North Carolina Training Institution, Merge.
