Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pa.
A DISGUSTING CR1ME.-James Cas-
sidy, formerly of this place, attempted
recently to commit an outrage upon
Lizzie, his fourteen-year old daughter.
at Braceville, Grundy county, Illinois,
where they now live. Cassidy was
drunk, and treated his daughter
shamefully. He and his wife separat-
ed while here and have not since lived
together. 1t will be remembered that
he served one year in the penitentiary
of this State for tnaltreating his fami-
ly. His wife, however, was bad as he.
FIRE ALARM.-About u o'clock
last Sunday evening our people were
startled by fire alarm. Some of the
churches were emptied in no time. In
one the minister was just reaching the
climax when the audience arose and
fitted out the doors. It was soon as
certained, however, that the G. & P.
R. sandhouse, near the depot, had Ia
ken fire, was slightly burned, and
flames soon extinguished by the
promptitude of the fire company and
other citizens. Most of the congrega-
ton returned and the minister neatly
turned the stampede into an exhorta-
ton about the standing fire alarm
which the Gospel sounds to every i'm
penitent soul of man.
The sudden death last Saturday of
Mr.. James J. Shaw, for twenty years
connected with the coal trade of this
region, is lamentable event. He
was genial, bright, affable gentle
man, and his loss is serious one to
his fraternity and the community
generally. The Civilian of last Sun
day says:
Our entire community was startled yes
terday evening by the sad intelligence of
the sudden death of Mr.. James J. Shaw,
Secretary ofthe Blen Avon coal company.
Mr.. Shaw was a gentleman of high stand
ing, intelligence and noble impulses. He
was warm-hearted and generous, though
Of modest and retiring nature. He mar.
ried daughter ofDouglas Percy, Esq, of
Frostburg, and leaves her with three
bright, interesting little children.
LOOK FOR H1M.-One DR.. A. M.
Hardy, partner Of the eminent Per-
sian physician, DR.. Mahomed Kahan,
surgeon in the army of His Majesty,
the Sultan of Turkey" beat us out of
bill for printing last week. This is
to give notice to DR.. Kahan that he
ought to retire from the firm of Hardy
& Kahan, otherwise we will report
him to His Majesty. If that won't
do we'll show him that the christians
of Frostburg have as big a champion
in the Russian Bear as our fellow SUI
ferers in Bulgaria. They cannot send
their Tipped, leather-lunged and
glass-eyed street hawking blather-
sixties into this town with impunity.
Well save the Sultan's credit, or bust
it with war on his eminent surgeons.
The "Persian Pain King" and east
India Remedy" however eficacious
in toothache, won't save them from
any violation of our understanding of
!. the Berlin Treaty. That's our mani
, festo to DR.. Kahan, of Persia, and our
ultimatum to the Sublime Porte, of
Turkey.
DEATH OF A FORMER RESIDENT OF
FRosTBURG.-Miles T. Delano, ESQ.,,
formerly of this place, died at his
late home at Ellerslie, in this county,
Tuesday night, 9th inst, of palsy of
long standing. Mr. Delano had long
been regarded as a gentleman of more
than ordinary intelligence and bust
ness ability. He possessed fine ed
ucation, aud being firm as a rock in
his convictions, his character was of
decided type. Of exclusive habits,
probably forced by disease, he was a
clever, honest man, and most esteemed
by those who knew him best. He
leaves wife and two children, the
former daughter of John J. Keller,
Esq, of this place. He came to
Frostburg about eighteen years ago
from Plattsburg, New York. He re-
moved to Ellerslie about year ago
and engaged in merchandising. Dur
ing the last three months he had been
confined to his room. His remains
were inferred in Alegany Cemetery.
. He was 43 years and 9 days old.
