Charles Hay ward and Charles Bell, who were indicted for breaking into the postoflice at Halltown, in this county, pleaded guilty in the United States Court at Martinsburg on Saturday. The former was sentenced to two years and the latter to one year in the penitentiary.

We call attention to the advertisement of valuable live stock, farming implements, machinery, of H. B. Davenport, administrator of the late Col. Henry B. Davenport.

The sale will take place on Tuesdav next. October 29th, at the late residence of Col. Davenport, near Charles Town. The rumor is again current that the Norfolk Western Railway will soon put another passenger train each way on the Shenandoah Valley division. It is asserted that the immense sums now being spent in improving the roadbed are for the purpose of-making it fit for the safe and speedy handling of passenger trains.

Charle McBride, a young man who lived in Martinsburg, was struck and killed by an accommodation train on the B. 0. Railroad near Vanclevesville Monday evening. He stepped from one track to avoid an approaching train when the engine of the accommodation ran him down, killing him instantly. He was about 21 years of age.

Oliver T. Kemp, B. and 0. supervisor of buildings, bridges, who has heretofore had his headquarters at Harper's Ferry, will be transferred to Cumberland, and will have jurisdiction of all buildings, in his de- partment, between Washington and Grafton. All camp crews with headquarters in Harper's Ferry will be transferred to Cumberland.

A young man, who gave his name as John Zeigler, fell from the rear end of a passenger train of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad last night three miles west of Charles Town. His left 1 leg and three ribs were broken and he was otherwise bruised and cut. He said he had no home and, being with- out money, he was given medical at- i tention and sent to the county alms- house. G. M.

Beltzhoover is remodeling i the old potter-shop, which was a part of the Weis property recently pur- 1 chased by him, and which he is improving so thoroughly. He will make ot the structure a very Dice mue dwelling conveniently and comfortably arranged, and will offer it for rent when completed. When the improve- 1 ments shall have been completed it 1 will be a desirable home. A good many persons send their 1 Registers away to friends or rela- tives in other places. This costs a penny a week for the stamp, to say nothing of the trouble.

By paying two cents a week, or a dollar a year, you may have the paper sent directly from this office to any address. This i will save you trouble, will cost you very little more, and will help Register by increasing its circulation, A dispatch to the Baltimore Herald 1 of this morning says that fire yesterday afternoon destroyed the barn and contents belonging to C. W. Conrad near Ripon, and also burned up D. B.

Shoemaker's threshing machine. The loss is over $2,000. At the same time and near the same place fire destroyed the stock yards of Jack Ware, near Berryville, and burned Clayton Sowers' threshing machine, causing a loss of over $2,000. Harris's Nickle-Plate Show gave two performances in Shepherdstown on Monday, and everybody was pleased who saw it. The horses were unusually well trained, the bareback riders daring and skillful, the acrobats artists line, and the downs were funny and active.

The performance was entirely clean, decent and orderly, and it would be hard to find performers more clever in their various specialties than those who amused the audiences Monday. The show was all right. ,1 otftrflmacAn 1 k) 11U1 a v. Charles Town, was pushed from the excursion train on the Norfolk and Western railroad last Thursday even- ing near St. James' Station, while returning from the Hagerstown Fair.

He became involved in angry worJe with a stranger on the steps of the car while the train was running fast, and the stranger, who is believed to have i been a pickpocket, pushed him off. Siford fell on his face and head and was terribly cut and bruised. The train did not stop. He was afterward found along the track and removed to Hagerstown, from which place he was sent on the train to his home next morning. A couple ot weeks ago a man from Pennsylvania came to Shepherdstown to employ laborers to work on some sort of a railroad and building contract a short distance beyond Harrisburg.

He described in glowing terms the nice jobs he would provide and offered $1.50 a day. He secured a number of col- i ored men here and took them to Pennsylvania, but wben they arrived 3 wrtrlr nwaitinp i tUey IOUDU preuam 0 of them being reqaired to work in water part of the time. Wages were only $1.25 a day the first week, and after that another cut to a dollar a day was made. The colored men became disgusted with their job and their employer, and most of them have drifted back home and others are on the way. The remodeling of the town cistern at Weis's corner last week by James Dunn has made a considerable change at that place.

The wooden covering of the cistern, upon which the sportive darkies have danced for the past half century, has been done away with, and a brick arch takes its place. The only i indication of a cistern now is the iron i cover of the man-hole, and it is probable that the town will never have to spend any more money for repairs there. It would have been economical to have arched the cistern years ago. The old cistern was a very substantial job. Its walls were of stone, and cement had been used with a lavishness that made them almost like i solid rock.

PER80NAL3. A Record of the Coming; and Qolng of the People That You Know. Miss Lizzie White, who haa been an invalid for several years, went to New York last Friday to take medical advice and undergo perhaps a course of treatment. She is with her nephew, Mr. Harvey H.

B. Gallaher, of Charles Town; secretary, Thomas D. Woodvard, of Staunton. Staunton was seeded as the permanent place of meetng. The association has adopted a Stonewall Brigade button.

It has a picture of Gen. Stonewall Jackson in centre, with a section of a stone" vail for a background. The points a star show the numbers of the five ufantry regiments of the Itb, 5th, 27th and a lettered circle gives the initials, 13. )f the artillery attached to the brigade, and the lettering, "Stonewall Brigade, C. S.

1861-1865." Each survivor of the brigade, upon proper certificate, is entitled to one of these buttons, and in case of a member of he brigade who is not living, hisfamly will be entitled to a button, to be sanded down as a much-prized heirloom. Pardoned from the Pea. Governor Smith, of Maryland, has pardoned from the penitentiary Jack Lemen, of Williamsport, who was sent up in 1897 for attempted criminal assault upon Miss Taylor, of that place. Lemen, who also cut Miss Taylor's throat pretty badly, was sentenced tq twenty years, four years of which he has served. The application for pardon was signed by Judge Stake, State's Attorney Poffenberger, former State's Attorney C.

D. Wagaman, Cel. Buchanan Schley, State Senator B. A. Betts and 'many others.

It is said that Lemen is in very poor health. Reception at the Graded School. One of the most pleasant events of the season was the reception at the Sbepherdstown Graded School last Friday evening, when the admirably arranged new building was thrown open for the inspection of the public. Every room in the building was lighted and tastefully decorated with flowers, plants and flags, while Japanese lanterns swung from the ceiling. The teachers greeted the visitors and showed them every attention and courtesy, very proud of their new home, as they had a right to be.

Pretty nearly everybody in town seemed to be there, while many persons from the country were also present. At 8 o'clock Principal C. T. Smootz called the people to order, and with three of the upper rooms thrown into one, a very fair audience room was provided. He made an appropriate address of welcome, and after a song by the school there were admira ble recitations by Helen Link, Edward Barnhart and Louise Welshans, and Miss May Hoffman gave an amusing character sketch.

Miss Bessie Licklider and Mrs. Annie Fairall sang a duet, and then in response to introduction by Principal Smootz addresses pertinent to the occasion were delivered by Hon. G. M. Beltzhoover, Principal E.

F. Goodwin of Shepherd College, Rev. G. G. Everhart, Rev.

Dr. Wm. H. Neilson and PL L. Snyder.

At the conclusion of the exercises the visitors made themselves at home in the building until they dispersed for the evening. All who were present united in commending the comforts and conveniences of the new school building, which is, we think, one of the best in the State. The rooms are large, airy, well-lighted and admirably arranged, and Jetferson county's reputation for leading educational movements has been well sustained by the completion of this structure. The Board of Education which built it is composed of President E. PI.

Reinhart, Walter L. Plerr and Robert T. Banks. Electric Light Schedule. The town council held a special meeting last Thursday night, when the schedule of rates for electric lights was taken up and discussed.

After careful consideration of the subject, the following rates were fixed For stores and similar business places, 50 cents for first light, 40 cents for the second, and 35 cents for each additional light; if ten or more lights are taken, a Hat rate of 35 cents each will be allowed. P'or residences, 25 cents for each light, but if only one light is taken the rate will be 50 cents. For churches, schools and the various orders, $1 per light per year. For factories, 25 cents per month for each light. For arc lights $40 per year for first light and $35 lor additional liguia.

It is conceded by everyone that the above rates are very they are cheaper than coal oil? and it is to be hoped that the people will put. them into general use, both in the stores and residences of the town. The more lights that are taken the more revenue there will be for the corporation and consequently the less taxation. The people voted by a decisive majority for an electric light plant. Now let them support it liberally.

Important Case Decided. In the United States Court in Martinsburg last Saturday in the case of the Harper's Ferry pulp company against Joseph E. Tliropp, Judge Jackson gave a decision in favor of the pulp company. This is-the suit in which the pulp company sought to prevent Mr. Thropp, who is owner of the Virginia ore bank, from polluting the Potomac river by the washings of the ore.

A temporary injunction was granted agaiust Thropp by Judge Jackson last January. On Saturday Judge Jackson made the temporary injunction permanent, and the owners of the ore bank prohibited forever from polluting the waters of the Potomac river. They will be prevented from 1- ii continuing tneir wont mey construct settling pools in which to settle the water before running it into the river. Forrest W. Brown, Daniel B.

Lucas and James D. Butt, of Jefferson county, represented the plaintiff in the case, and R. T. Barton, of Winchester, and Cleon Moore, of Charles Town, represented the defendant. Just what effect the decision will have upon the industry at the ore bank is not known.

It is to be hoped that it will not cause abandonment of the work. A Narrow Escape. Mrs. Samuel Knott and Mrs. James Uoffmaster, of the vicinity of Moler's Cross Roads, bad a very narrow escape from death or serious injury laet Saturday afternoon.

They were driving to town in a stick wagon, and just as they were about to cross the railroad track on High street a locomotive running backward, with Engineer Buck Clingan at the throttle, came along. The horse's head was over the track when the tender of the engine struck him and threw him into the ditch alongside the track. The wagon was tilted, but was not upset, nor were the ladies hurt, although they were frightened pretty badly. EnPlinrron his locomotive 1 almost immediately, and was a good deal relieved to find the damage so slight. The horse was gotten to his feet and found to be little the worse for his upset.

The shafts were broken from the wagon and a basket of eggs had formed a large-sized omelette, but every one was thankful that such a lucky escape had been made. County Sunday School Convention. The Jefferson County Sunday School Convention will be held in Grace Baptist Church, Shenandoah Junction, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, November 1, 2 and 3.

During the past week we have dropped from our subscription lists the names of about twenty persons to whom bills have been sent and who have made no response thereto. We will now endeavor to collect in other ways, our modest duns having failed of their purpose.

With a paper of the character of the Register at only a dollar a year no one ought to fail to 8 pay up promptly, and we hope our subscribers may see the matter in this light. We cannot afford to waste 1 much money on postage stamps, so if there is no response to bills sent out we will stop the paper and put the claims in the hands of a collector. We mail more bills this week. Do not delay in settling them. Came Near Dying.

On awakening a few hours ago I felt so gratified that the first work I do on going to the office is to write to the manufacturers of this I remedy and offer them my grateful thanks and say, 'God bless you and the splendid medicine you This remedy is for sale by Relnhart's Pharmacy.
