Town P.raiy Dessreyes.

WHEELING, W. Va, August A.
A fire broke out at Volcano, a town
of 1000 inhabitants, in Wood county,
in this State, early this morning, and
is still raging fercely. Half the
town is COW in ashes and it is proba-
BILE the flames will not be stayed
until there is nothing left for them
to feed on, as water cannot be had
to quench an ordinary FIRE. At the
present writing the stores, hotels,
ware houses. the telegraph Office and
the depot are destroyed. Among
the stores burned are Graham. Smith
& Co.'s, jackson & Gould's, Samuel
Thompson's, Ackson W. C. Stiles,
J. W. Gill's, post Office and store.
Several of the houses carry very
large stocks of goods. Many Of the
warehouses are stored with oil. As
every house in the town is built of
wood it is almost certain that the
entire town will be consumed. 1t is
estimated that the loss will reach
fully 100000; probably more. The
Gre is supposed to be the work of an
incendiary.
LATER-The fire originated in the
store of Thompson & Barnes. 1t
was discovered about 4 O'Clock.
The flames spread rapidly, and reach
ing some oil tanks they caught fire
and bursted. the burning oil running
through the streets and setting fire
to buildings on either side. There
were six hundred barrels of heavy
oil burned. ten stores, post Office,
railroad depot, telegraph Office, hotel,
printing Office. nine dwelling houses,
the West Virginia transportation
Office, Smiths boiler works, one
pumping r alton, and several other
small buildings. Nearly everything
is q total loss. Almost the entire
contents Of the stores and dwellings
we're consumed. Loss $4,000; in
surance, $4,000.

WHAT has become of the contem-

average of one hundred thousand
dollars monthly is paid for freights
from Johnstown to the Pennsylvania

extension of the road to Johnstown,
if we are not grossly mistaken. The

not much of an item to parties anx-

GOODBYE, SWEETHEART"
The Tenor, BrignOIi, Sails for Europe
a Divorced han-.-The Story Of
His Married Life.

The New York Times, of this morn
ing, says: "0n Friday afternoon a
complimentary benefit was rendered
to Signor Pasquale Brignoli, the we'll
known tenor, at Wallack's Theater.
The opera produced was Don Pasquale,
and Signor Brignoli interpolated his
old fayorite, Good bye, Sweetheart,
Goodbye There was probably not a
person in the audience who realized
how appropriate this ballad was to the
circumstances surrounding the singer.
He was actually about TO be forced to
say a long goodbye to his old sweet
heart, Sallie Isabella Mccullough, who
had been his wife for the past nine
years. A suit for divorce brought by
the lady was then pending in the Su-
preme Court, and on the day following
Brignoli's benefit and the singing Of
Goodbye, Sweetheart, Nine. Brig
noli was a free woman, and the once
great tenor was served with a bill of
costs for the action.
The story of Brignoli's married
life, as told by the friends of his late
wife, is anything but a oreditable one
to him. Miss Mccullough is a native
of South Carolina and a very beauti-
full woman. She was a singer by pro-
f%ession, and Brignoli met her first in
1868. He was then still popular and
could command a large salary. Miss
Mccullough became fairly infatuated
with this wonderful tenor, whose voice
had captivated two continents, and
Brignoll was none the less fascinated
by her. The cOurtship was a short
but a happy one. In 1870 the two
agreed 70 unite in the matrimonial
bonds, took a trip to Montreal, and
were there married ina Presbyterian
church. The intended marriage had
been kopt secret from the friends OF
both parties, and, Yhsn il was pub
lish0d, proved a complete surprise Ia
the world, which, at that time, was
more deeply interested in Brignoli
than it is at present. Miss McCul
Tough was for the time the envy o.
every American girl who had become
infatuated With the voice and fame O
the Italian singer. The lady had beer
diligently studying italian for som,
years and preparing herself fora debu.
upon the operate stage. Very shortly
after the BaIriage Brignoli organized
an operate company OF his own anC
made a travelling tour, which was
grand success, financially and artist
cally. Nine. Brignoli made her frs
appearance in opera with the combina
zion managed * her husband. Shr
was warmly received from thdmomen
OF her appearance. In this city he
success was assured after the frs
night. She came of a good Southern
lFLllV, and the position Of her hus
band and herself IN the social circle
OF the metropolis was secure,

now asserts, who were apparently sur

Hancock for President.
Milwaukee Ycws.I

milwaukee News.l
Some of our exchanges have been
suggesting a Presidential ticket for
the Democrats in 1880, and among the
rest is one with Governor Thomas A..
Hendricks, of Indiana, for President,
and Major General w. S. Hancock, Of
Pennsylvania, for Vice President.
This ticket is a good one, with the ex-
ception that the wrong end Of the
ticket is foremost. As to General
Hancock, for Vice President. he would
not think Of accepting such a position,
even If il was rendered him without
opposition. To make General Han
cock the Democratic candidate for
President would, perhaps, be a wise
act on the part of the convention.
General Hancock to-day stands pre-
eminently as a statesman and soldier.
In the latter capacity his record is Of
the very best, having served his coun-
try during the late war from the be-
ginning to the close, with the very
highest honors. His patriotism and
craftsmanship have been thoroughly
tested on more than one occasion.
During the war Of the rebellion, when
every effort was made on the part of
the Republicans to make the civil
subordinate to the military power Of
the government, General Hancock
pronounced boldly, and in the most
emphatic manner, that the military
was and should remain under all cir
c~umstances subordinate to the civil
power. When the celebrated Bah
cock court Of inquiry was in session al
Chicago, with General Hancock pre-
siding, he gave the world tho mos
astonishing proofs Of his intellectual
ability aud craftsmanship. In a word
General Hancock is a giant in intel.
lect, a statesman of the frst-class, q
soldier in every sense and a man who
as a candidate for President, would
rally around his standard a largel
number OF ex-oficers and soldiers thar
any other man whose name could be
mentioned in connection with a Prcsi
dental pominati0n.
