After long months of most excrutiat-
ing suffering from cancer in the neck,
John Gillis, one of Ravenna's oldest
and most respected citizens, passed
from this life as calmly as to nights
repose, aged as years, l month, and 2
days. He had lived in Ravenna over
fifty years and was one our most hon

ally beloved. He leaves a wife, one
son, Charles J. Gillis, of OrtOnville,
Mimi, and two daughters, Mrs. r. o.
Strong, of st. Paul, Minn., and Mrs.
George F. Robinson, of this village,
and a grandson, John III. Gillis, of

On Christmas morning Mr.. s. c
Garfield lost his pocket book, contain
ing about two hundred and fifty dol
lars in notes, some accounts, and about
fourte en- dollars in money, in or near
the post-office. He discovered his loss
as soon as he arrived home, which is
but a short distance from the Office,
and Immediately returned, but failed
to obtain any information in regard to
the lost property. In the evening the
pocket book was found by a neighbor
in the road, but at point where Mr..
Garfield had not been. All the papers
were safe, but the money was gone.
No suspicious were attached to any
one at the time, but within few days
circumstances very clearly indicate the
person who took the money, and if it
is not returned within a reasonable
time, an exposure will be made.
The Y. NJ. G.. A. have arranged for
series of lectures during the winter,
and have already realized two of their
programme-the first by v. P. Cline,
of Cleveland; subject, "Should Young
Men Study Politics ?"-the second by
Rev. A. Wilcox; subject, Music"
1t is to be very much regretted that
the weather, at the time of both leo
lures, was so inclement as to render it
very inconvenient for those from dis
lance to attend. Both lectures were
remarkable for good sound common
sense and practical information. The
lecture of Mr.. Wilcox was a repetition
of his lecture in Cleveland several
weeks ago, and which received an ex-
tensive and favorable notice from the
Press of that city.
THE LASTOF A AFAMILY.-Lastw week
we reported the death of Mrs. Mary
Udall, the result of fall. Last Sat
urday the remains of Charles LoOmis,
the brother of Mrs. Udall, and the last
survivor of the family, were deposited
in their final resting place. Mr.. LOOM
is had been resident of this township
for more than sixty years, and during
all that time, maintained the reputa-
ton of an honest, quiet-and peaceable
citizen. Unassumiag in his demeanor,
easy and reasonable in his dealings,
never exacting, but always relenting,
he went through the world without an
enemy. Like great number of early
settlers, he took great pleasure in hunt
ing, anu was an expert In THAT pastime.
His. age was iseventy-three years.

Not SO Romantic.

Two young ladies were imprisoned for
half a day on the dome of the st. Louis
court house last week. They had gone
up to the top, counting the steps after
the manner of women, and after enjoy
ing the prospect, had found that they
could not open the door leading to the
stairway. After six long hours of anx-
iety and WEAKNESS, one of them re-
membered device resorted to by the
heroine of her favorite novel. She
wrote few words on paper, clamped the
slip under the blade of her pen-knife
and tossed it into the street. A young
man picked up the knife and read these
words: "We are fastened in the domel
For Heavens sake get US outp He
showed the signal of distress to the
janitor. "Mein Colt und himmelw
exclaimed that worthy man; "dose
pooty gals up dere all desc timesl" He
rushed up the winding stairs as fast as
his legs would carry him, and reaching
the top, opened the small door leading
to the cupola. The girls received him
with tears of joy, and in their gratitude
may have added a kiss or two. They
are now anxious to find out the color of
the eyes of the young man who picked
up the knife; to wit, Their noble pre-
server.

An explosion occurred in tunnel Number
Three on the Narrow Gusge railroad from
San Jose, Cal, to Santa Cruz early on the
morning of the 9Th. From meagre accounts
thus far received, it appears blast was let
off about 200 feet from the mouth of the
tunnel, which caused an explosion of gas
generated by the fltering of coal oil through
the roof and sides OF the tunnel; twenty. one
Cinnamon and two white men were at work
in the tunnel at the time and Immediately
about twenty more Cinnamon rushed into
the tunnel with torches to aid their comrades.
When they had penetrated about 1900 feet
their torches caused asecond explosion more
violent than the first, shaking the mountain
to its center. The white men, Hinkle and
Johnston and seventeen Cinnamon were
horribly burned. Twentv-four dead were
found in the tunnel The engine for pump
ing air was disabled, pipes broken, sheds
wrecked, and broken timbers scattered all
around, and work will be delayed two
months. No blame is said to attach to the
contractors. 1t is believed the white men
taken from the tunnel will live, but several
of the Cinnamon brought out are fatally in.
iured.

inst, forty-fve masked citizens forced
Sheriff Watson to surrender to them a
prisoner named Charles Stewart, notorious
footpad, who had threatened to kill the man
who had him incarcerated as soon as he
should get out. Stewart, who was 20 years
old, begged piteously for his life and for
time to write to his mother, at Conneaut-
vile, Pa, but was only allowed time to say
brief prayer and was then laun ched into
eternity. The mob then took Ed. Frod-
sham, and although he struggled furiously,
han ged him in q wor kmanlike manner that
indicated familiarity with the hangman's
trade. Frodsman had been jumping lots,
driving off occupants by force, and con-
Quoting himself in generally Objectionable
manner. A note was pinned on the latter
victims back warning all disreputable per.
cons to beware, as the vigilance committee
was seven hundred strong, and determined
to meet out sudden justice.

SCARLET fever is q sconrge az much to

SCARLET fever is q scourge as much to
be dreaded in our northern cities as the
yellow fever is in the south. A leading
cause of the disease being spread is from
ladies visiting houses where there are
cases, or attending funerals of those
who have died from the malady, thus
impregnating their clothing and carry
ing the germs to their own and other
families. This disease should be treated
in a manner similar to small pox as
regards quarantine regulations. It is
not less terrible in its fatality, and not
unfrequently leaves the convalescent
with deafness, blindness, or some other
serious affection.

The movement in temperance known
as Home Protection, which, in reality, is
woman's ballot on the dram-shops, is
gaining in favor in all parts of the coun-
try. Five of the annual conventions of
the Women's Christian Temperance
Unions, held in the separate New Eng.
land states this fall, have passed home
protection resolutions indorsing that
line of work. At the late annual meet
ing of the National Women's Christian
Temperance Union in indianapolis a
resolution was passed to the effect that
"the organizations there represented
should in each state be free to choose
their own methods of work." thus remov.
ing all restrictions of that body from
such state women's unions IS shall de.
eide to ask for the temperance ballot
Eleven state organizations already
indorse this movement; only three really
oppose it, and their ranks, it is said, are
by no means solid.

Political Excttemens I'm Maine.

Political circles in Maine are highly ex.
cited over report that VIXEN the election
returns are officially canvassed, the votes of
several districts will be thrown out on tech
nical grounds. The actual vote as cast gives
the Republicans 10 senators and the others
IL. 1t is rumored that the town of Kittery
is to be thrown out, because, as alleged two
notices of election instead of three were
posted. The throwing out would change
the result in York county by throwing out
three Republicans and electirg three Dem
ocratic senators. Augusta was crowded
with politicians on the 18th, drawn thither
by the rumor.
