"Saved My Life"
A VETERAN'S STORY.  *
"Several years.ago, while in Fort
Snelling, Minn., I caught a severe
cold, attended with a terrible cough,
that allowed me no rest day or
night. The doctors after exhausting their remedies, pronounced my
case hopeless, saying they could do no
more" for me. At
this time a bottle of
AYER'S
Cherry Pectoral was
I sent   to me   by a
W0$j__j- friend   who   urged
W me to take it, which
I did, and soon after I was greatly
relieved, and in a short time was
completely cured. \ I have never had
much of a cough since that time,
and I firmly believe Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral saved my life." — W. H.

have known him so well in this valley
I and throughout-the entire territory covered by the Western Maryland Railroad
will know him no more- He has been
elevated by his State and city to the responsible and honorable position of Police
Commissioner ot Baltimore and for tbe
next rive vears will be found at City Hall,
Baltimore with scepter in hand, to say
nothing ot the 'good cigar which he
always smokes and shares with the boys.
Friday last ne was formally inducted
into office and the Baltimore News thus
describes the occasion-
For tbe first time in 29 years, Baltimore
has a Republican Police Commissioner
He is Mr. Daniel C. Heddinger, who for
the past 12 years has been assistant to the
general freight and passenger agent of the
Western Maryland Railroad.
' As the hands on the clock on tbe wall
ofthe Police Board Room marked the
hour of 11 he was officially declared Commissioner in place of CoL John C. Legg,
who was appointed in December, 1894, by
Governor Brown to fill ont the unexpired
term of John Q. A. Robson deceased.
The ceremony of installing tbe new
Commissioner occupied exactly 10 minutes
I and was marked by a pleasing absence of
stiff formalities and the interchange of
pleasantries, in which the new Commissioner, his colleagues, Messrs. Schryver
and 14ill, Colonel Legg and those assembled to witness the ceremony and congratulate the new Commissioner joined.
Abundance ol Flowers.
Prior to his arrival a number of beautiful floral tributes of esteem and good
wishes arrived for the new Commissioner
and were placed on his desk. They consisted of a large basket of roses from tbe
Columbian Club, a boquet from Mr. Frank
Wachter of the Jail Board, a horseshoe of
roses three feet high from relatives of
Mr. Heddinger, and a bunch of red and
yellow roses tied with oram>e and black
ribbon fiom Mr. Henry J. Broening.

Colonel Legg escorted him to the Board
room, where a throng of the new Commissioner's friends bad been in waiting a
half hour, and introduced him to Messrs.
Gill and Schryver. He presented his
commission, which was read by Mr.
Schryver, who then clasped him by the
ban'i and welcomed him as a member of
the board.   He said:
The Addresses of the Occasion.
"Mr. Heddinger, I welcome you as a
member of the Board, and feel confident
you administration will be such as will
please both yourself and the public. Be
seated."
Commissioner Heddinger glanced at the
flowers, his friends in front of the railing, and then said with feeling. "I do
not come here as a partisan to rid out the
men of the force, but as a public official,
who will endeavor to do his duty to the
letter, in wbich effort I am sure my
brother Commissioners, Messrs. Schryver
and Gill will assist me."
Then a smile broke over his face as he
glanced at his frieds and he said laughingly: "And I want to say further that if
any of you fellows out there get a jag on
and get locked up I don't want you
chasing out to my honse, rousing me up
at midnight to get you out."
A roar of laughter followed and the new
Commissioner took his seat and began
receiving the congratulations that poured
in npon bim. Marshal Frey and Deputy
Marshal Farnan came in and were formally introduced.
Just then a note was handed Commissioner Heddinger.
"Some sergeant wants to be made mar-
shall at once I guess," he remarked, and
then the laugh  was  on
who joined in.
Many Presentations.
Commissioner   Heddinger   was   then
pany, and is the assistant freight end

married and has four children. His home
is at 2120 East Pratt street.
Tickets Wust be Stamped.
In the Court of Appeals on Thursday
day Judge Briscoe filed the opinion of the
court to the case of the Western Maryland
Railroad Company vs. George L. Stocksdale, reversing the judgement of the
Superior Court of Baltimore. The plain
tiff (Stocksdale) bought at Westminster
au excursion ticket to Glyndon and return. By the conditions printed on the
face of the ticket it was provided that the
retnrn coupon would not be received for
passage unle:-.s it was stamped by the
secretary of the temperance camp at
Glyndon. Plaintiff could not get it stamped and attempted to travel back to "Westminster on it without the stamp. The
conductor of the defendant's road refused
to accept it and demanded payment ofthe
fare. Upon plaintiff's refusal to pay the
conductor compelled him to leave the
train and he brought this action for
damages. The court holds that, although
the company may be liable for breach of
its implied contract to have an agent at
Glyndon to stamp the ticket, yet the
remedy of the plaintiff was for breach of
contract, and he had no right to travel on
a ticket which was defectiye on its face.
As between the conductor and a passenger, the ticket is the conclusive evidence
of the passenger's right to transportation.
If the ticket agent has given him by
mistake a wrong ticket, the conductor is
justified in refusing to accept it. The
passenger in such cases cannot recover
damages iu an action of tort for his expulsion from the train for non payment of
fare.
Edison's Latest.
Thomas A. Edison has perfected bis
portable apparatus which will enable surgeons readily to locate injuries of the
bones and the presence of certain foreign
snhatannfts ir^ the limbs—a£—pntiouto by
means of lhe X rays. Mr. Edison has
been working at this apparatus for some
time- His efforts hive been aimed at an
increased efficiency of vacumm tubes and
a better fluorescing screen than the barium
platinocyanics one used by Roentgen. Be
found that when the X rays were cast on
a screen covered with tnngstate of calcium
a very marked fluorescence took place.
His new apparatus, which is designed
for general use by surgeons, consists of a
vacuum tube, with a battery, induction
coil and mercury air pump compactly arranged that it can oe fastened over the
eyes of the operating surgeon.
In working the surgeon will place the
portion of the body to be examined over
the vacuum tnbe. The X rays generated
in the tube will pass through the fleshy
portions, and on reaching the screen before the operator's eyes fluoresce. Such
portions ot the screen as are unaffected
by the X rays will give an accurate outline picture of the bones or of any substance in the body that' is impervious to
the X ray. Thus the surgeon can locate
fractures and foreign substances quickly
and without the tedious process of making a shadowgraph. The device is an
ingenious one and will doubtless find a
large field of usefulness.
After describing the young man who,
with a. scented handkerchief, carefully
parted hair, broadcloth and patent leath
ers, nervously pulls Uie bell and in due
time is escorted by his inamorata into the
presence ofthe ••' oiks, the poet goes on
to say:

A man Hnngr  np   by  tbe  Heels for

IVine Days After.
Thomas Clendening died at his home in
Richmond March 18 from what was said
to be typhoid fever. Afterward it was
rumored in the neighborhood that the
cause of his illness was an outrage perpetrated upon him by his companions. He
had gone to Somerset county, to Lain-
bertsyille to chop wood. Some young
men of about his own age, twenty or
twenty-one years, accompanied him.
One day the men drank too heavily
and two of them left the woodchopper's
cabin in which they slept and ate their
meals. . Afterward some persons stopped
at the cabin and found Clendening suspended by his heels from the rafters. They
cat him down as quickley as possible
It is not known who strung' him np to
the rafters but suspicion was directed to
his companions.
Clendening started for his home soon
a/ter gaining consciousness and walked
the entiie way to Richmond. He com.
plained of excessiye pains in his head and
died nine days after his arrival. His con
dition was such as to suggest that he
was ill with typhoid fever but his physician is of the opinion now it- is reported
that his illness might have been caused
by the barbarous treatment to which he
was subjected.
His mother learned of these things after
his death and sent a friend to interest
District Attorney Light in tbe matter.
He communicated with the district attorney of Somsrset county and on receipt of
a reply will determine on the course he
will pursue. It is possible the body will
be exhumed and an examination made of
it.
The names of seyeral young men are
mentioned as having assisted in hanging
Clendening up by his feet but they deny
all participation in the occurance.
The story has created much excitement
and indignation in Richmond and vicinity
It is said that while the mother did no
know of the affair until after her son's
death, the entire community was familiar
with the facts of the occurence as given
above. The knowledge she obtained waa
given her by one of her neighbor women.    I
lt is almost impossible to conceive of
such cruelty as was practiced upon Clendening and there is a general demand
that the matter be investigated. As said
District attorney Light will take action
after he hears f.om Somerset coanty. One
ofthe companions of Clendening, who
are openly charged by the community
with having hung him from the rafters,
is still at his home near Richmond.—Valley Spirit.
