HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST
In Gilmer County Two Chill
dren Burned to Death.

From the Glenville Gilmerite We learn
the particulars OF terrible tragedy near
that village. 1t seems the house OF Mr..
Geo. w. Riddle took fire from a heated
stove-pipe in the kitchen. The build
ing was of wood, and the flames were
communicated so rapidly that the house
was totally consumed before anything
could be saved except one bed and some
papers. At the time of the fire-Friday
night last-three children were sleeping
i'm an attic overthe kitchen. Thetire soon
cut Of all means OF escape except a small
hole in the weather-boarding. Through
this a daughter OF Mr.. Riddle climbed,
and escaped in safety. Then little girl
was helped up to the opening by little
brother. In the haste her clothing
caught and held her in the opening un-
iii her clothes burned loose. She then
fell, being much burned and badly
bruised by the fall. As the opening was
very small, her hanging in it completely
shut off the way of escape for the boy.
He was not seen after she was raised TO
the hole through which the two girls
made their escape, but charred body
was found in smOldering ruins the next
day. The little girl also died the next
evening.
The boy was a little hero, nObly sacri-
ficing his life to save that OF his sister.

LETTER FROM DODDRIDGE
COUNTY.
The County Court and Its Trans
actions.

Correspondence Of the Register.
WEST UNION, October 20th.
County Court convened to-day, and
after disposing OF the business before it,
adjourned being in session about six
hours till regular term in December.
This county being blessed with Super
ior Judge, in the person OF W. Ii. Hos
kinson, the business of our County
Court is attended with comparatively
but little expense. This being the day
on which the "Delinquent Lands" were
to be sold, the town has been full OF peO-
pie TO overflowing, who were looking
after the interest OF their homes. Tracts
OF land have been sold, resOld, and sold
again until it is difficult to know the
proper party to whom the land belongs.
The next most interesting feature per
haps, was the granting of OflicenSe to spirit
ous liuuOr retailers. This is somewhat of
an experiment in our county, for there
has been no license granted for about
fifteen wears, until to-day. The better
class of people i'm the county have bit
terlv protested against the sale of in
toxicating drinks, until within the past
three years various "doggeries' and
''hell-holeS" having been pouring outthe
vile demon of robbery, murder and
damnation to their fellow men, in open
violation of the law and common de-
cency, having our streets full OF stagger
inc drunkards and outlaws, they have
come to the conclusion that out of two
evils they would choose the least. Had
the officer of this county Whose sworn
duty it is to look after such mattersl
done his duty, to-day, our town would
have been noted for its morality instead
of its outlandish drunkenness and i'm
morality. The writer would not hesi-
tate TO venture the assertion that for
every five hundred barrels of whisky
sold here there is not on record to-day
more than one substantial indictment.
Instead OF the officer practicing what
he breaches before the grand jury, he
heartily encourages them by his actions,
and Joins in the ring dance and smokes
the pipe of peace. Doddridge is sick OF
her vote-not her choice-the emetlc
has becomeEtill more nauseOus, and she
declares next October, "Ill spew thee
out of my mouth and elect a good Dem
ocrat, who never rode the fence in

NAKED LIGHTS IN THE
MINES.
A Disregarded Order that
Brought Death to n Work
man.

PoTrsvILLE, October 22.-William
Harris, who was injured by an eXplo
sion OF fredamp at the Richardson Col
liery about two weeks ago, as reported
i'm the Press at the time, died yesterday,
and an inquest was held on his body
to-day by Mine Inspector Parton and
Deputy Coroner Guildin. The evidence
showed that Harris and his associates
were ordered to work with safety lamps
only, but that in order to have better
light than safety lamps afford they dis
regarded the order and worked with
naked lights, having an agreement
among themselves to notify each other
i'm case gas was discovered in dangerous
quantities. The men in the next breast
TO that in which Harris was working
began brushing out gas from their breast
preparatory to firing blast, but forgot
TO notify the others. The air current
carried the gas into Harris's breast and
it ignited at his lamp. Three men were
burned, but Harris the most severely,
and he is the only one that has died OF
his injuries. The jury returned YER
dict OF death from accidental injuries
and Censured the men for working with
naked lights contrary to orders. The
veltilation was abundant and no blame
attaches to the employers, the Phila-
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company.

Wayne County Wisdom.

JACKSON county htIalu.
Alta meeting of a Board of Education
in Wayne county, motion was made
that a six inch globe be purchased for
each school in the district. Several
citizens were present and every one OF
them opposed the purchase. One stated
that geography was pack of lies
from beginning to end, and that he
would never let a child of his study 1t
at all. Another said it was nothing but
foolishness to teach that the earth re-
volved on its axis when we could see
that it stood still and that the sun ran
around it. Why said he, if the earth
was round we would have no east, west,
north or south, no top or bottom. 1t is
all lie and the Bible teaches 4 different
doctrine altogether, etc, etc. After the
matter had been discussed for some
time, the question was put to the Board, (,
when James Atkins and William Brown
voted for the purchase. The other two
members voted against IT, leaving 10
Joseph Kirk, the President of the Board,
to decide. He voted for the purchase.
