OFT EXPLOSION.
Bertha von Smith, an Inmate Of a SsgniO
on Alley Sixteen, Seriously Burned
BY the Explosion Of a Lamp
Her Body Burned Al
most 10 a Crisp.

An alarm Of fire was sent in last night
from box "a, Nineteenth and Jaeoo
streets, East Wheeling, and was caused
by the discovery OF light in the seeonu
story of house in Alley Is, east OF ia,
cob street, owned by Julia Cbisnell, anu
occupied by Madamoiselle Viola De For-
eat. "a noted woman OF the town" Inc
department responded With It's uspai
alacrity, but il was soon discovered that
lie house was not ablaze, but instead
the person of Bertha Won Smith, an IN
mate, who had been engaged IN dress
ing herself, and i'm some careless man
per had overturned coal oil lamp III
the room, by which her clothing was in
slantly ipniied. The attrighted woman
ran screaming down stairs and out into
the aIley, hotly pursued by Frank Freds,
a negro man who lives in the neighbor-
hood, but she was not oyertaken until
her clothing was almost burned on and
her body scorched in terrible manner,
so badly indeed that her lie IS des-
paired of. She was carried into the
house, when DR.. Byron Baguley attend
ed her. In her progress to the street
Miss Won Smith rushed toward an
other young woman who was In the
house. and the latter saved herself only
by running into another room and fling
ing the door in the face of her agonized
friend, Miss De Forest also had her
clothing ignited by the flames from the
clothing OF Miss Won Smith, but they
were extinguished before she was in
iured. The burning oil also set fire to
the dressing case in the room in which
the accident occurred, but this was put
out without assistance from the tiremen.
At the hour OF going to press Miss Won
Smith was still living, but her recovery
is rather doubtful.

The aIenyille Normal Schoo ,

The fall term OF this school for the year
1881 will commence on Monday, Sep.
TENDER 18th. The school has been in
operation since 1873. The building is
we'll adapted to educational purposes,
and supplied with every facility for thor
ough instruction in the branches taught,
and situated as it is in the midst OF a
healthy and fertile country, the inhabit-
ants Of which are fully identified with
the educational advancement OF the age
it is confidently expected that the
coming session will be one OF great pros.
perity. Glenville is the county seat OF
Gilmer county. 1t has many natural
advantages and is in every way fit to be
the seat OF an educational institution
such as the Normal School. The town
is comparatively easy of access, being
connected by q regular hack line with
the town OF Weston, railway terminus.
1t NAV also be easily reached from other
railroad stations by means OF private
conyeyances. The school will be in
charge OF Prof. S. P. LeaZear, a West
Virginia graduate, who is well qualified
10 impart through instruction IN every
branch which students may wish to
pursue. There will be a classical course
IN addition to the regular normal course.
