People Dying,an None to Bury them
-AlaT ming Situation.
Especial Dispatch TO the Enquirer.


GIovERs GAP, w. VA April H.
A young man, resident of this place,
but who has been working in Pittsburg
Tor some time, come home few weeks
sgo sick. He suspected he had symp-
soms Of smallpox, as the house he
boarded in at Pittsburg had several
eases. He was laid up at his hsme
here with veriloid, and before recover
ing visited many of his friends and
spread the disease until the town is
aow completely shut out from ali COM
snunication. The passenger trains go
sarough the town like lightning Last
~ight young lady named Miss Schu-
ponn died with the small-p and up
10 midnight no one could be found to
eary the body, Charles E. Wells, a
member Of the West Virginia Legisla-
snre, telegraphed Governor Jackson at
Wheeling the condition of things, and
asked him to send some one here to
sury Miss Schuman. The Governor
replied by instructing the county
.aathorities to attend to the burial, but
=p to this evening no one has been
sound to undertake 1t, as every body
% getting ready to leave the place.
The disease is spreading rapidly. 1t
ass already been reported the disease
has reached Burton, some ten miles
distant, and that several families have
been stricken down, and man named
Daniel Yost died this morning from It,
They have sent to this place for some
help to bury his body. The situation
70 alarming, as all the doctors are down
with 1t, and no nurses can be hired at
sny price to take care of the sick.

A STRANGE DISCOVERY.
By Which We May Yet Hear The
Sounds of the Fires Raging in
the sun.
Youths CompanioR.l

Youths companioR.l
Prof. Tyndall of London has just invent
ed new scientific apparatus that, when
properl- used, gives most singular re
suits. and shows that the wonders of the
photophone have only begun.
The photophone has already been des-
cribed in the Companion, and you may
remember il is an Instrument invented
by Prof. Bell for causing a beam of
light to convey telephone message to
distance.
In the new apparatus a beam of light
from lime light, or even candle, is
thrown upon common glass flask hav-
ing long neck. rn this is fastened
rubber speaking tube that may be placed
to the ear, so that any sounds in the flask
may be heard through the tube.
Between the flask and the light is
placed a circular disk of metal, having
narrow Stats, or openings, placed like
the spikes of wheel round the edge.
When the disk is at rest, the beam of
light may pass through one of the Stats
and fall on the flask.
If. now, the disk is nade to turn rapid
ly on its axis, the light will reach the
flask in series of flashes, as it shines
through the Stats one after the other.
Here the curious discovery comes in.
When the flask is filled with gas, or a
vapor, say the vapor of sulphuric ether,
common street gas, oxygen, perfumes
| like or cassia, or even smoke,
and the beam of light is made to fall on
the flask in series of alternate flashes,
the operator, listening with the speaking
tube at his ear, will hear strange musi-
cal sounds inside the flask
The pitch of these tones will cores
pond exactly with the speed with which
the disk is made to turn, and each kind
of gas, or vapor, in the flask will give a
different kind of note, some soft, some
lond, and some very sweet and musi.
cal.
This is certainly the most remarkable
discovery since the photophone, and it
shows that light may be made means of
making sounds audible at distance,
even when the eye can see no difference
in the light. 1t even suggests the idea
that we may yet be able to hear the
soinds of the fires raging in the sun. 1t
may, indeed be only hint to yet more
wonderful and un-thought-of relation
ship between li4ht w'd sound, which
may be utilized as medium of commu-
nication.

STEEDMAN vs., SHERMAN,
Sheer Nonsense to say there was no
surprise at Shiloh.

TOLEDO, O., April TO- Gen. J. B.
Steedman publishes to-day in his paper,
the Sunday Democrat, the following con-
cerning he recently agitated history of
the battle of Shiloh:
Gen. Sherman, as usual in his address
to the Army if the Tennessee at Cincin-
natl, went Off half cooked, and pronounc-
ed WhiteIaw Reids account Of the battle
of Shiloh utterly unreliable 1t is we'll
known to every living soldier of the Ar
nv Of the Cumberland who knew any
thing of the facts about that battle at
the time it was taught. that Mr.. Reids
account of it was entirely truthful. Our
army was surprised, and Gen. Sherman's
brigade was the first part of it totally
routed. he himself narrowly escaping
CAPTURE. Gen. Sherman knows well tn 1t
when his brigade was routed he was
closely pursued by the mounted rebp
Ger. Forrest, who told the writer of this
of the incident himself, and barely made
his escape. 1t is all sheer nonsense fol
Gen. Sherman to say he was not surpris
I'd. He can not falsify the history OF
The battle of Shiloh at this late day tc
rive himself Importance. Whitelaw REID
never Intentionally wrote anything
bout any battle of the war that was not
true"

The women of the Isle of Man occu-
py ''the position Of being the first of
their sex within her Majesty's dominions
whose rights as parliamentary electors
have been recognized and legally Sc
cured" An address to the female elec
tors of Isle of Man, signed by Miss Beck
tr and Mrs. Scatcherd, has been used.
The Manx women are congratulated and
fully and to the best of their judgment
and ability. The victory which has been
won in the island is hailed as an earnest
of the coming recognition of the same

Tire Governor, Auditor OF State and
Secretary Of State have made the de-
cennial ap. ortonment for Senators aud
Representatives in the General Assem-
bly,, in accordance with the COnstiiu-
tion.
Only thirty-three Senators will be
chosen next fall, the lowest number,
We believe, ever apportioned under the
Constitution. Should the political
parties be divided as in 1879, the Re-
publicans will elect seventeen Senators
and the Democrats fifteen, with the
Sixth district a tie. There will be
several close districts, the Democratic
majority being 3O2 in the Second dis
srict, 3S5 in the Third and 4S9 IN the
ThirtIeth. The Republicans had 429
majority in the Seventh district. 426
in the Twentieth, and 736 in the
Twenty first. Each party has fight
ing chance to carry the next Senate.
The next House of Representatives
will consist Of one hundred and six
members, siXty-two of whom will be
Republicans and forty y-four Democrats.
