Number SA FIRE DESTROYS WORKSHOPS AT SCOTLAND SCHOOL WEDDING BELLS FOR THEM. Tbe industrial building ot the Scotland soldiers' orphans' industrial school was destroyed by fire Wednesday evening week,together with all its contents. The loss is estimated to be $75,000, on which there is a heavy insurance. The industrial building was a three- story brick structure, 50x110 feet in size. In it were the machine shop, of which Arthur B. Beard, Waynesboro, is superintendent; the wood shop, tailoring shop, dress-making department, shoe shop and printing office. In addition, it contained the elaborate electric light plant of the school and various buildings connected with it. The fire originated in the elect, ie light room and is supposed to have been caused by the imperfect insulation of one of the wires. C Edward Mickey,Chambersburg,night engineer, tells this story: "I was with Watchman Townsend in the boiler room at 9 o'clock. The watchman was going his rounds. At that hour I stepped from the boiler room into the light room and saw flames around the switch board. In an instant the inflammable material there was in a blaze. I quickly got the garden hose and threw water on the flames but could not extinguish them. Then I went for several buckets of water. As I opened the door the air must have rushed in and fanned the flames for in an incredibly short time they burst into a huge volume and tben were apparently carried by the wires throughout the building." The structure was entirely gutted. The machinery in it was very valuable. The machine shop and tbe printing department were especially well equipped. The electric light machinery alone represented an outlay of $8000. The Chambersburg fire department, in response to a request from Captain Geo. W. Skinner, superintendent of the school, sent the Good Will engine and hose reel and the Cumberland Valley reel to the scene of the fire but the machines were not put into service. The Waynesboro firemen were requested to be in readiness to make the trip to Scotland if tbere should be need of their assistance but were not called upon. Engineer Mickey was badly burned in escaping from the building. He lost his clothing and $30 which were in a coat pocket. It is probable that tbe burned building will be replaced by a new one immediately. THEIR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. Jacob J. Miller and Mrs. Miller Observe its Forty-fifth Recurrence by Family Reunion.

There are two odd criminals in tbe Chambersburg jail One is an alleged white-cap, about the last profession it would be supposed a "bad man" would adopt in this enlightened age in tbis law-abiding county, and tbe other is a self-confessed sentimental thief. Daijaiel Pickens, a colored man of near iTayetteville,is the alleged white- cap. Samuel Beamer swears tbat Pickens posted a notice on bis (Beamer's) barn, informing him that be bad been too busy about certain things and must leave the place or be punished. John Blake received a notice that if he did not leave Brownsville be would be killed. Pickens is said to belong to a crowd of eight or ten young colored men who call themselves tbe "Midnight Bamblers." Isaac Hopple is the self-confessed criminal. He is from near Dry Bun. He and John Hockenberry were arrested for stealing chickens. Hockenberry was held for court but Hopple was acquitted. When Constable Skinner was about to start for Chambersburg with Hockenberry, Hopple declared to him it was not fair Hockenberry should go alone. "I'm just as guilty as he is," blurted out the youth. The justice quickly gave him anotber hearing and sent him to jail for court. J. P. Reamer Fell Down the Stairs and Was Painfully Injured. J. F. Beamer, who resides witb his daughter, Mrs. W. B.

Tbere WUl Be Many Subscribers Ts The New National Bank's Capital. Rumors as to the location and the more important officers of the proposed new national bank in Waynesboro are numerous as tbe changes in the weather and according to tbem the new institution will be established in half-a-dozen different buildings and will have as cashier just as many individuals. The men at the head of the concern have not yet reached any determination as to either of the matters with which gossip has been so busy. No definite action will be taken for a week. As told by this paper the stock of tbe new bank was subecribed by about two-score capitalists. They will not, however, retain their large holdings, but will dispose of part of tbem. President S. R 'Binebart of Frick Manfg. Co. says: "While the stock has been subscribed by a comparatively few persons.yet it was with the understanding that Ibe larger subscfibers would divide up with such persons as might wish to make an investment in the stock, and the real stockholders are much more numerous than the subscription list shows. All others who desire stock may be accommodated, as an apportionment will be attempted to meet the demand), of the public." Railroad Notes.

Daring the early part of Qctober, 1896, I contracted a bad cold which settled orr my lnngs and was neglected until I feared that consumption had appeared in an incipient state. I was constantly coughing and trying to expel something which I conld not. 1 became alarmed and after giving the local doctors a trial bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Congh Remedy and the result was an immediate improvement, and after I had used three bottles my lungs were.restoed to their healthy state.—B. vS. Edwa.ds, Publisher of The Review, Wyant, HI. For sale by Forthman & Miller, Waynesboro, Pa. From Daily Zephyr of Saturday, February St. SEVEN weeks of Zephyr's Great Educational Voting Contest have ended and 17,001 Coupons have been voted! A more remarkable demonstration of interest in a similar test of worth and popularity has never been made In Waynesboro! And'yet these 17,000 coupons will be made to look very small before anotber two weeks have passed around, for with a fortnight the contest will be ended and with the closing day will come an avalanche of coupons, a landslide, a whirlwind,a typhoone an ocean of coupons,desc. ibe it by whatever adjective you will. Each one means the same—a tremenduu - number of coupons handed over to Zephyb to be counted at the anal hour of * he contest. The contest has taken on more than the character of a personal striving for tbe prize of a free scholarship in drawing in the Scranton international correspondence school and a set of fine instruments. The cause of the contestants has been taken up by the big sbops and by organizations and by tbe public schools. Frick workmen and Geiser workmen and Landis workmen, the Mechanics' Steam Fire Engine Co., tbe Wayne band, the high school and otber schools are struggling with and against eacb other in behalf of the leading contestants and not one ef tbese bodies of people wants to see its favorite defeated and will not see it if hard work will prove of any avail. No one who is not in close touch with the contest has any appreciation of the intensity of the rivalry and no one can tell, no matter how carefully he bas analyzed the votes thus far, how much strength each contestant has in reserve. There are thousands of coupons cut from papers Wbich are being got into readiness for voting next week and tbe week after. One man announced in Zephyr office, this week, tbat he bad 2000 which he would vote at the last minute for one of the three leaders but which one he would favor he would not say. "Jus$ let everybody go ahead and vote! I'll surprise tbeto all and I think I'll be able to say who will get the splendid prize." All of which shows that there must be the hardest kind of work done in the remaining two weeks of the contest. Everybody will get to work now with a spirit that means the triumph of his favorite if he can accomplish it and this means that there will be such a hustling for coupons as was never known here before. There will be a finish to the contest such as wiil enlist the most interested attention of every man, woman and child in town. This evening Tracy Barr again resumes the lead but he is in first place by a plural ity of only 17 votes. Little enough margin/. I isn't it? Barr polled. 1167 coupons yesterday evening. Carl L. Boyer voted 1000, just as he did last w. ck, and there were 17 votes for John Gossard, West Fourth street, a new candidate for the coveted scholarship. The total coupons voted yesterday evening were 2784. Next Friday evening there should be four times that many and Zephyb believes there will be. You're on tbe homestreteb'now! Don't lose the race because of tbe least lack of interest! Tbe vote to date is as follows : VOTE IN POPULAR EDUCATIONAL CONTEST. The vote in the Educational Contest thus far returned to this office is as follows; the count of coupons will be made each Friday night and announced each Saturday and on the days of the succeeding week: Tracy Barr, 24 West Main street. .\ 6813 CarlL.

HIS ARM SQUEEZED. Captain Wallace Meets Wtth Ao Accident Oa Hts Nickel-Plate Road. Captain ^William Wallace, of the Geiser Nickel-Plate railroad,sustained a painful accident late yesterday afternoon. He was pulling, with his little locomotive, a big box car to tbe wharf in the yards, and, as is the custom, after the locomotive was upon the siding tbe switch was turned so that the car would continue on the main track to the .wharf. The coupling pin, however, proved obdurate and could not be pulled out quickly enough. The car, on the main track, struck the cab of tbe locomotive, on tbe siding, and twisted the locomotive around sidewise. The cab was partially broken and Captain Wallace's arm was caught between the timbers and badly squeezed. No bones were broken I but tbe injury is a very painful one. There is no better medicine for the babies than Cnamberlain's Cough Remedy. Its.pleasant taste and prompt and effectual cures make it a favorite with mothers and small .children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, preventing pneumonia or other serious consequences. It also cures croup and has been used in tens of thousands of cases without a single failure so far ss we have been able to learn. It not only cures "croup, but when given as soon as thecroupy cough appears, will preventthe attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency of the paroxysms of coughin, thus depriving that disease of all danf»e-ons consequences.

He said in reply to one of the Ohio congressman's remarks: "I bave heard such speeches as tbe gentlemen delivered before. They are but a revamp of tbe copperhead speeches from 1861 to 1865. Then copperheads charged every crime in the calendar to the Union soldiers. The boys in the Philippines are deserting because you encourage them to desert, and tbe man who encourages them is worse' than the deserter. During the civil war I thought if 8000 or 10,000 of the copperheads bad been shot we would not have been troubled with desertion. Some of those men still live-^thank God, very few. There is none in my state. Neither the people nor the press of my state would be paid to make such charges as the gentleman'has made. I am not surprised that the good people of Ohio left you -at home—not because you charged that the administration paid $100,000 to defeat you; you are not worth it; but because of your everlasting demagoguery." (Loud Bepublican applause.) This brought Mr. lentz again to his feet. Wben he declared himself a Jeffersonian-Lincoln Democrat the Republicans jeered. Proceeding he charged that the defeat had been compassed by bribery right and left. '"I was defeated," he continued; "you are welcome to the glory and satisfaction of it." "It is a great satisfaction," laconically observed Mr. Mahon amid laugh- W. B. Zody & Co's Quincy Store Entered By Thieves. Tbe general merchandise store of W B.

The loss is estimated to be $75,000, on which there is a heavy insurance. The industrial building was a three- story brick structure, 50x110 feet in size. In it were the machine shop, of which Arthur B. Beard, Waynesboro, is superintendent; the wood shop, tailoring shop, dress-making department, shoe shop and printing office. In addition, it contained the elaborate electric light plant of the school and various buildings connected with it. The fire originated in the elect, ie light room and is supposed to have been caused by the imperfect insulation of one of the wires. C Edward Mickey,Chambersburg,night engineer, tells this story: "I was with Watchman Townsend in the boiler room at 9 o'clock. The watchman was going his rounds. At that hour I stepped from the boiler room into the light room and saw flames around the switch board. In an instant the inflammable material there was in a blaze. I quickly got the garden hose and threw water on the flames but could not extinguish them. Then I went for several buckets of water. As I opened the door the air must have rushed in and fanned the flames for in an incredibly short time they burst into a huge volume and tben were apparently carried by the wires throughout the building." The structure was entirely gutted. The machinery in it was very valuable. The machine shop and tbe printing department were especially well equipped. The electric light machinery alone represented an outlay of $8000. The Chambersburg fire department, in response to a request from Captain Geo. W. Skinner, superintendent of the school, sent the Good Will engine and hose reel and the Cumberland Valley reel to the scene of the fire but the machines were not put into service. The Waynesboro firemen were requested to be in readiness to make the trip to Scotland if tbere should be need of their assistance but were not called upon. Engineer Mickey was badly burned in escaping from the building. He lost his clothing and $30 which were in a coat pocket. It is probable that tbe burned building will be replaced by a new one immediately. THEIR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. Jacob J. Miller and Mrs. Miller Observe its Forty-fifth Recurrence by Family Reunion.

There are two odd criminals in tbe Chambersburg jail One is an alleged white-cap, about the last profession it would be supposed a "bad man" would adopt in this enlightened age in tbis law-abiding county, and tbe other is a self-confessed sentimental thief. Daijaiel Pickens, a colored man of near iTayetteville,is the alleged white- cap. Samuel Beamer swears tbat Pickens posted a notice on bis (Beamer's) barn, informing him that be bad been too busy about certain things and must leave the place or be punished. John Blake received a notice that if he did not leave Brownsville be would be killed. Pickens is said to belong to a crowd of eight or ten young colored men who call themselves tbe "Midnight Bamblers." Isaac Hopple is the self-confessed criminal. He is from near Dry Bun. He and John Hockenberry were arrested for stealing chickens. Hockenberry was held for court but Hopple was acquitted. When Constable Skinner was about to start for Chambersburg with Hockenberry, Hopple declared to him it was not fair Hockenberry should go alone. "I'm just as guilty as he is," blurted out the youth. The justice quickly gave him anotber hearing and sent him to jail for court. J. P. Reamer Fell Down the Stairs and Was Painfully Injured. J. F. Beamer, who resides witb his daughter, Mrs. W. B.

Rumors as to the location and the more important officers of the proposed new national bank in Waynesboro are numerous as tbe changes in the weather and according to tbem the new institution will be established in half-a-dozen different buildings and will have as cashier just as many individuals. The men at the head of the concern have not yet reached any determination as to either of the matters with which gossip has been so busy. No definite action will be taken for a week. As told by this paper the stock of tbe new bank was subecribed by about two-score capitalists. They will not, however, retain their large holdings, but will dispose of part of tbem. President S.

Edwa.ds, Publisher of The Review, Wyant, HI. For sale by Forthman & Miller, Waynesboro, Pa. From Daily Zephyr of Saturday, February St. SEVEN weeks of Zephyr's Great Educational Voting Contest have ended and 17,001 Coupons have been voted! A more remarkable demonstration of interest in a similar test of worth and popularity has never been made In Waynesboro! And'yet these 17,000 coupons will be made to look very small before anotber two weeks have passed around, for with a fortnight the contest will be ended and with the closing day will come an avalanche of coupons, a landslide, a whirlwind,a typhoone an ocean of coupons,desc. ibe it by whatever adjective you will. Each one means the same—a tremenduu - number of coupons handed over to Zephyb to be counted at the anal hour of * he contest. The contest has taken on more than the character of a personal striving for tbe prize of a free scholarship in drawing in the Scranton international correspondence school and a set of fine instruments. The cause of the contestants has been taken up by the big sbops and by organizations and by tbe public schools. Frick workmen and Geiser workmen and Landis workmen, the Mechanics' Steam Fire Engine Co., tbe Wayne band, the high school and otber schools are struggling with and against eacb other in behalf of the leading contestants and not one ef tbese bodies of people wants to see its favorite defeated and will not see it if hard work will prove of any avail. No one who is not in close touch with the contest has any appreciation of the intensity of the rivalry and no one can tell, no matter how carefully he bas analyzed the votes thus far, how much strength each contestant has in reserve. There are thousands of coupons cut from papers Wbich are being got into readiness for voting next week and tbe week after. One man announced in Zephyr office, this week, tbat he bad 2000 which he would vote at the last minute for one of the three leaders but which one he would favor he would not say. "Jus$ let everybody go ahead and vote! I'll surprise tbeto all and I think I'll be able to say who will get the splendid prize." All of which shows that there must be the hardest kind of work done in the remaining two weeks of the contest. Everybody will get to work now with a spirit that means the triumph of his favorite if he can accomplish it and this means that there will be such a hustling for coupons as was never known here before. There will be a finish to the contest such as wiil enlist the most interested attention of every man, woman and child in town. This evening Tracy Barr again resumes the lead but he is in first place by a plural ity of only 17 votes. Little enough margin/. I isn't it? Barr polled. 1167 coupons yesterday evening. Carl L. Boyer voted 1000, just as he did last w. ck, and there were 17 votes for John Gossard, West Fourth street, a new candidate for the coveted scholarship. The total coupons voted yesterday evening were 2784. Next Friday evening there should be four times that many and Zephyb believes there will be. You're on tbe homestreteb'now! Don't lose the race because of tbe least lack of interest! Tbe vote to date is as follows : VOTE IN POPULAR EDUCATIONAL CONTEST.

HIS ARM SQUEEZED. Captain Wallace Meets Wtth Ao Accident Oa Hts Nickel-Plate Road. Captain ^William Wallace, of the Geiser Nickel-Plate railroad,sustained a painful accident late yesterday afternoon. He was pulling, with his little locomotive, a big box car to tbe wharf in the yards, and, as is the custom, after the locomotive was upon the siding tbe switch was turned so that the car would continue on the main track to the .wharf. The coupling pin, however, proved obdurate and could not be pulled out quickly enough. The car, on the main track, struck the cab of tbe locomotive, on tbe siding, and twisted the locomotive around sidewise. The cab was partially broken and Captain Wallace's arm was caught between the timbers and badly squeezed. No bones were broken I but tbe injury is a very painful one. There is no better medicine for the babies than Cnamberlain's Cough Remedy. Its.pleasant taste and prompt and effectual cures make it a favorite with mothers and small .children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, preventing pneumonia or other serious consequences. It also cures croup and has been used in tens of thousands of cases without a single failure so far ss we have been able to learn. It not only cures "croup, but when given as soon as thecroupy cough appears, will preventthe attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency of the paroxysms of coughin, thus depriving that disease of all danf»e-ons consequences.

He said in reply to one of the Ohio congressman's remarks: "I bave heard such speeches as tbe gentlemen delivered before. They are but a revamp of tbe copperhead speeches from 1861 to 1865. Then copperheads charged every crime in the calendar to the Union soldiers. The boys in the Philippines are deserting because you encourage them to desert, and tbe man who encourages them is worse' than the deserter. During the civil war I thought if 8000 or 10,000 of the copperheads bad been shot we would not have been troubled with desertion. Some of those men still live-^thank God, very few. There is none in my state. Neither the people nor the press of my state would be paid to make such charges as the gentleman'has made. I am not surprised that the good people of Ohio left you -at home—not because you charged that the administration paid $100,000 to defeat you; you are not worth it; but because of your everlasting demagoguery." (Loud Bepublican applause.) This brought Mr. lentz again to his feet. Wben he declared himself a Jeffersonian-Lincoln Democrat the Republicans jeered. Proceeding he charged that the defeat had been compassed by bribery right and left. '"I was defeated," he continued; "you are welcome to the glory and satisfaction of it."
