The English Lutheran Church.

The English Lutheran church was a
a scene of considerable interest, yesterday.
Quietly but faithfully the new pastor, Rev.
+. Dornblaser, has been visiting the peo-
pie. which has created in them great inter.
est in all the services, the evidences of
which are manifest in the large attendance
at church and Sunday school-even when
the weather is as unpleasant as il was yes
terday. Mr.. Dornblaser preached an earn
est sermon from Matthew XIV. 81, 81, 46,
at the morning hour of worship, which
was closely listened to throughout. The
Sunday School was filled, almost to Suffoca-
ton. and with the fine leading of the music
by Prof. Stahl and the children's choir by
Miss Annie Knapp, the illustrated inter
national lesson, and an address On Home
Missions by the former pastor, Rev. 5. B.
Barnitz, was full of enthusiastic Joy. The
banner of class No. : was draped in memory
of the beloved daughter Of MI. Henry Serig,
who was buried during the week. At
night Rev. S. B. Barnitz, who reached the
city late Saturday evening from the Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska missions, preached to
a crowded house from Isaiah XIV, So, 10.
We learn Mr.. B. and family will remove to
Des Moines, Ia, during the present month.

~sHARROCK,s STATEMENT
In Reply TO the Reputation OF the
Home Company.

PArK ERSBURC. March 1.-The ParkerSburg
Sentinel, OF the 4th inst. contained the fol-
lowing dispatch. which develops another
chapteri in the history of the West Virginia
Mutual Aid Association:
"Mr. Ralph Shamrock having exceeded his
instructions, the West Virginia Mutual Aid
Association will receive no applications
from him or his agents, and further, the W.
V. NJ. 4. A. is responsible and respects its
integrity too much to receive doubtful or
fraudulent risks
An interview with Mr.. Shamrock
in relation to the matter develops the fact
that the company is inclined to shift the
responsibility Of the whole thing and have
the public believe ;heir hands are clean, and
that Shamrock has attempted TO Il the
senior or graveyard department on his own
responsibility. Mr.. 5. gives his side OF the
story as follows: IL came here in the in
terest of the W. V. NJ. A. A. but with the
intention OF working both the senior and
Junior departments, and for the purpose OF
locating agents, and the company was or
ganizcd with the intention OF working the
senior department, as well rs the junior,
and their printed CIRCULARS. and
all the necessary blanks are prepared
with Il view 10 including this class Of risks,
and they need not at this late day attempt
to deny this fact. and il was not until the
matter was ventilated through the REEFS
TER that they notified me- that they had
discontinued thu senior class, and further
| received to-day n linz of supplies urCe>-
sary to the working of this senior class,
which was forwarded from the home O!iicr
ut Wheeling, q few hours previous to the
appearance of the article in the REGISTER,
which goes To- show that the senior elias
was abolished very suddenly"
The telegram does Mr.. Shamrock injustice
as the natural inference to be drawn there
from is, that he is a regular dead beat and
that he alone is responsible for the bad re-
repUte into which the company has been
brought but such is not the case. Mr.. S.
has conducted himself as 4 gentleman in
every respect. and aside from the fact OF
his having ~beensconneCted with the work
ing of this senior department, and the
odium attached to the scheme since it has
been shown up, will leave our city with a
record quite in contrast with Griffin, the
Ascending agent of the Panhandle ASSO.

paid by the ancient subjects insured.
DR.. Hunt. who acted a. examining phy>i-
clan fOr the W. Va. VI. A. 4. informs us
that his refusal tn act longer in that capac.
itv was not owing to a lack OF confidence
in Mr.. S. who hadncvers shown disposition
to Use any undue influence, as to the re-.
suits of the examination, but that it wa,
owing to his lack OF confidence in q COM
company that would accept such old sub
ieCt~ for insurance. and that he considered
him personally an honorable gentleman.

INTERRUPTED.
The Police Look In On Cock Fight and
Settle Ii.

The bloods and sports had a fly time of it
on Saturday night in a cooking main,
though only one fight was had, as will ap-
pear. Council has not passed the prohibitory
ordinance, and the tough gentlemen were
Boosting their immunity SO long as there
was no disturbance OF the peace. A good
sized crowd had gathered at the pit, near
the stone bridge, and the first fight went
on with vim and vigor. The cock which
should have won cut himself with his own
CALVES and thereby lost the fight. causing
quite a transfer of currency OF the realm.
After the fight, n pair of policemen
walked in. looking for STANLEY. and then
the sporting men wilted. They had been
talking of their nerve and OF the powerless
and fettered condition OF the police, as far
as they were concerned, but the starch was
knocked from their spinal vertebrae by
this unexpected cR'rcc. The officers looked
about and went out again, but the main
was over. Not a crow was heard, ROt a bet
was made, as quick from the cockpit they
hurried; not a single sport his wealth dis
played, for down in his pocket twas bur
led.
\ man was to have come down from
Pittsburgh on the evening train with a pair
of game lighters, but he missed connections
ana did not arrive.

The RINGERS and t.Iee Men.

A good audience for the matinee aud a
very small one for the evening, on Satur-
day. witnessed the performance at the
Academy OF Music, of the bell ringers and
glee men. Part of the performance was
very good. They rave a magnificent col
lection of one hundred and thirty-four
bells-the finest inthe Yorld-nanufactur.
ed expressly for them from their own
original designs, and infinitely superior in
tone. volume and sweetness to all Others.
Upon this immense collection of bells,
tuned to perfect pitch, and varying in size
from the great baSSo profundo of nearly
twelve pounds weight to the tiny treble
of q few ounces, they play with matchless
skill and in perfect harmony the ditti-
cult and complicated musical selections
from the grand operas, oratorios and sym
phonies, as welhas the lighter and most
popular melodies of the day, the national
airs of all countries, and many unique aid
effective compositions of their own.
The glees were moderate and the wit was
execrable. SThe leader may be 8 wit in
Hengland. but in this country these jokes
are dull, stale and improbable.

A Rescue Frustrated.

About = o'clock, yesterday morning,
what is believed to have been III attempt
to communicate with or rescue Jack Con-
drv, was frustrated. AS Waterman Fitz'
simmons wa making Il round, he heard
the dog, in the yard, give Il suspicious
bark and running to the rear of the jail, he
saw the heaG and shoulders of a man above
the wall. At the same time another one
ran east on the south wall and jumped of
about midway. FitzsimmonS used his re-
yolver very freely but without effect. Mrs.
Daily. whose room is on the south front OF
the Jail. looked through her window, at the
same time, and saw another man on the
south wall, so that there were at least three
of them.
Condry's cell is in the southwest corner
OF the Jail and the belief i that these men
were hi> pals, e~ndeavUring either TO rescue
him or communicate with him. FitzSim-
mons thinks he knows II OF them, and
maybe another. so that unless they wish TO
take up their quarters with Jack, they had
better give the Jail 4 wide berth.
The firing of the five shots, by Fitz>im-
mons, woke several persons in the neighbur-
hood and one reported afterward that he
saw w" men run out upon Chaplinc street,
through the south yard OF the cour house.

The NAN Win the Eron MAX.

Ellis Cartwright, of Marshall county, is
defendant in a suit in Philadelphia which
is rather singular. About q year ago he
was badly burned about the face, so as to
dishgure it, and to conceal it he bought a
rubber mask. Finding this frightfully
warm, he contracted with William Snow
DOM, q Philadelphia maker Of surgical in
stfumentS, To construct for him a wire
mask, with false nose, eyebrows and mus
tache and holes for the eyes. The price
was S25, and for 4 movable ~mouthpiece he
sgreed to pay SO more When the mask
was finished Courtwright declined TO pay,
on the ground that the chin-piece would
not work and he could not sleep in it:
Showdown brought suit and obtained
Judgment, and the case was appealed.

Ether vs.. .sLaughing Gas."'

Once more have | been highly am used
by the statements of a brother dentist in
yesterdays Leader, attempting to prove the
superiority OF laughing gas over ether as
an nnesthetic. The errors are so broad
that they are almost grotesque, and it is
with some Commiseration for him that |
find it my duty to take notice OF his highly
ludicrous artiCle-ludicrous, because writ
ten by a gentleman who ought TO know his
business. He quotes an advertising peri
odical; a Chicago medical journal-also a
periodical, in which students ventilate
their views, for his authority on the sub.
ieCt of nitrous oxide.
In rebuttal of one of his declarations, |
quote in substance the following:
The Boston Society Of Medical Improve
melit having b. a committee examined
carefully into the subject of death from
the inhalation of ether. declared through
their committee that in no case has death
resulted from the inhalation Of ether
Boston WsdirHi and Surgical JDurhGk. page 212.
But why 20 on? Authority after author
ity could be quoted showing my contem-
porary's lack of information on the subject
OF which he writes so feelingly.
Leaving the question OF danger OF either
aenesthetic agent out of the question. the
assertion is here made that laughing gas is
often a failure in entirely Hnesthe-
izing patients. in which cases the
mental suffering is generally intense in
connection with the physical pain. caused
by the operation. These cases are by no
means scarce and such horrible sensations
have usually been created that it Is rarely
that they will ever consent 10 take the gas
again.
Ether nerer fails 10 0ncstbi:e. 1t il used by
every surgeon in this city, What doctor in
Wheeling uses nitrous oxide as all asnes-
thetiC?
Again. my contemporary says that laugh
ing gas is more expensive than ether. 1t
costs to manufacture with q profit TO the
manufacturer, four and one-half cents per
gallon. Ether is worth S1.75 PEE pound.
Once more! When a number Of teeth are
to be extracted from a II patient, he has to UNI
dergo a number of strangulations, SO to
speak. with laughing gas while
with ether one inhalation is sufficient. In
addition TO this, dentists who use laughing
gas are unable to properly treat the mouth
of patients in difficult cases where the pro-
cess needs surgical attention and often peo-
pie are compelled TO 60 for a year or two
without being able to wear false teeth, for
the reason that mature is compelled in q
long course of months to do what the dem
fist should have done in q few minutes.
l have used both agents for years, and
I can assure those who suffer from bad teeth
that by taking ether as administered by
me, that they can have the defects safely
remedied, or removed, not only without
the slightest pain, but with absolutely de-
lightfui feelings while undergoing the in
luence of this peerless aenesthetic.
In the manufacture of false sets, l claim
the ability TO make the most natural work,
and to perfectly fit any mouth.
Respectfully,

No. 1917 Market street, Wheeling, W. Va.

Slight Fire.

About IL o'clock yesterday an alarm OF
fire was turned in from box 5, United en-
CINE house, occasioned by flames being dis
covered in the building occupied by Mrs.
Brobson, between Goth and 9th streets.
The fire originated in a closet up stairs used
TO hang clothing in. The department was
promptly on hand, but luckily did not
have to use their hose, as they put the FIRE
out without buckets. The damages sus-
tanned were very slight, being to nothing
but some clothing. Nobody seems to know
just how the FIRE started, as there is no
flues or fire close to the closet.
