Death of Gen. Banning.

The Cincinnati papers announce
the death at his home in Cummins-
vile, on last Saturday evening, of
General Henry B. Banning, after a
short illness, in the 47th year of his
age.
General Banning was a brave
and faithful soldier, rising to the
rank of General for gallant services.
Since the war he has twice repre-
sented his District in Congress with
marked ability and distinction.
His death was sudden and I'M
looked-for, the original cause being
a wound received in the side dur
ing the war, which has occasionally
troubled him since.

A BRAVE AcT,-Yesterday after
noon as Baltimore and Ohio
freight train, drawn by engine No.
5S5 was approaching this city, and
had reached a point near the glass
works, the train-men espied lying
on the track few yards in front Of
the engine, a small child, belong
IN to man named Riley, living
near the track. The train was 60
ing at the rate of fifteen miles an
hour, and although the engineer re-
versed at once, it was evident the
train could not be stopped before
the Unconscious child would be
reached. One of the brakesmen, Mr..
Samuel Rankin, of Martinsburg,
seeing the child's danger, ran for
ward to the pilot, and leaping
of seized the child and threw it to
one side, and out of danger. We are
glad to note that the brave man es-
capped without injury and the child
with few bruises. -Cumberland

SHOT FOR A WILD TuRKEY.-On
the 26th of November, Milton Meese
and Alden S. Keefer, of Garrett coun-
ty, Md, went out hunting turkeys
and about the same time Aaron
Wilhelm and his son Newman, liv-
ing about mile away, also went
out. Young Wilhelm after they
had been out some time, gave tur-
key call which was answered TAX
ing a position behind tree, in
short time he saw what he suppos-
ed was a turkey. He took aim and
fired, and the next moment he heard
man halloo. He ran to the spot
and found to his horror young Kee-
fer dying. The ball had entered
the left breast just above the collar
bone, and, ranging downward, pass
ed through his lungs to the spinal
region. He lived but few mo-
ments, The call and the answer
led each to think the other was a
turkey. Keefer was seventeen years
old.-KeySer Echo

VIENNA THEATRE.


On last Thursday night by the
exploding of lamp on the stage,
the Grand Vienna Theatre, filled
with the people of that gay and
grand city, was in. an instant en-
veloped in flames and quickly burn
to the ground over the heaps of
shrleking, writhing humanity
struggling within and unable to
escape.
OF the two hundred ballet girls
on the stage in the play at the time,
hardly any escaped. Of the orches-
ira every member is missing.
There were more than 5000 people
In the building, and up to the
present time the remains of 100
have been recovered from the ruins.
with HOO still missing. 1t is
thought that not single individ-
ual escaped from the upper tier.
The fire, catching in the stage
drapery and scenes, swept at a fash
through the entire building, crea-
ting on the instant a panic-stricken
mass of human beings, from which
there was little or no chance of es.
cape,
The sensation of horror and sor-
row has been most profound thro'-
out Europe. To read the columns
OF awful particulars by cable makes
the heart sick. Immediate meas
ures were taken to relieve the suffer.
ing and bereaved families, the EN-.
press contributing very large
sum to the object.
ROASTED IN BED.
PITTsBURG, Dec. 10.-About 4
o'clock this morning a boarding
house 7 miles from the city, on the
P, q L. E. r. r., was burned while
AZ laborers were sleeping inside.
Only "a are yet known to have es-
capped unburned. Ten charred bod
les have been recovered and seven
men got out of the flames horribly
burned. The dispatch gives the
names of the dead, among which are
Michael Doyle, Michael Donohue,
John Duffy and some others that
sound familiar here.
The building was 30 by so feet,
the ground floor being used for
kitchen and dining-room while the
boarders were crowded into the
loft to sleep.
An exploding lamp was the orr
gin of the fire here also, and the
combustible straw bedding and
penned-up situation of the inmates
caused the horrible fatality.

Religious and Educational.

FROM THE ADvocATE.-We clip
the following extracts from c.
letter in the last Pittsburgh Chris
tan Adrocate:
ave understand that the West
Virginia Academy experiment, in
the hands of the United Brethren
Church at Buckhannon, is likely
to prove a success. We desire to
ask the following question: If
Conference Seminary under our
control were established, and with
out risk or cost to us, and at the
same time in the hands of safe and
judicious persons, what degree of
support would it receive? 1t might
be only a private undertaking at
first and be centrally located in a
good town. Such an institution is
greatly needed in our territory and
would in short time prove q
source of considerable strength to
our churches.
A movement is on foot to make
the next political issue in our State
election on the ground of temper
ance. Never were the churches of
West Virginia more determined on
reform in the matter of legislation
on the liquor laws than now. No
license in some of the counties is
not as reformatory as some suppose
and must be made more 0Deratiue
than before. We are in o transi-
tion state in some things now and
waiting for anything good or better
than we have. The WEST VIRGINIA
FREEMAN is making a steady and
earnest fight for the prohibitory
amendment.
DR.. J. L. M. Curry, of Richmond,
Va, in a recent address at St. Al
bans, VT, cited the following facts,
contrasting the educational facili-
titles of the North and South in
1860: White population of the
North, nearly 100000; of the
South, a little over 100000. The
North had 205 colleges, the South
272. The North had ,407 profess
sors, the South 1883. The North
had 1904 students; the South 81
O54. The North paid for these col
leges, 81, 504, 1856; the South, ST.
662, 419.

Diphtlseria.

The following brief treatise and
suggestions OH the treatment of this
terrible disease we find in one OF
our reliable exchanges. The au-
thority is not given, but the sugges-
tions appear so sensible and the
mode OF treatment so simple that We
give il space in the JOURNAL, hoping
it msy benefit some sufferer TO
whom the prompt assistance OF an
experienced practitioner is imprac-
tica6ie:
"Diphtheria is generated by breath
ing impure air, such as comes from
damp apartments, dirty cellars, gut
ters, sinks, decaying matters, pools
OF standing liquids and other sour
ces OF filth. 1t ia usually confined
to persons from two 10 fifteen years
OF age. The atmosphere. the breath
ing OF which causes the disease,
seems TO be full OF living things.
vegetable and animal. the bacteria
and micocOppins, some OF which
lodge in t'e throat and form white
splOtcht~. witch are distinctive of
the ma adv. and WIN sc presence
quickly l".i-on the blood; hence
there should be- no time lost in send
ing tor a phN >ician, AS the march Ot
the disease is always rapid and its
virulence increases every hour.
AS with most other diseases,
diphtheria is more likely TO attack
those whose systems have been de-
bilitated by illness, poor diet, or any
cause " hate yer. Any irritation OF
the throat prepares the way for the
disease. Any person affected should
be taken to an upper room, into
which no one should have access
but those in perfect health. and who
have not TIE slightest scratch or sore
on any part of the body, particular
ly the hands. The room should be
ventilated all the time, all discharg-
es should be quickly removed, the
clothing frequently changed and at
once covered with water containing
carbolic acid.
