Dyspeptis, weak back, dependency and
other troubles caused me fearful sufferings
but Psrker's Ginger Tonic makes me feel
like a new being. A great remedy. Every
woman should use it. Mrs Gsriir, Pitts
burg.
Some evenings ago between Z and s
o'clock two masked men rushed into
the house Of George Brill, three miles
north of Eli1abethtovn, Obefter county
when the door was opened by Mrs. Brill
to ascertain the cause of the dogs
barking. The men caught Mr. and
Mrs. Brill by the throat, bound them
securely and under threats Of instant
death compelled them to indulge the
whereabouts of their money. While
one Of the Iufhsns stood guard over Mr.
and Mrs Brill and their IL yesr-old
daughter the other searched the house,
securing only a small sum Of money, .
watch and some clothing. Before leav-
ing they poured some vinegar into =
loaded gun and threatened the inmates
with instant death il they should at
tempt TO leave the house before day
light, stating that parties were outside
watching, and would harm them if they
attempted to give an alarm.
While the usual Wedn esday night
services we're going on in the Roxboro
n. c., Baptist Church, which Was
crowded, the immense chandelier, hold
ing twelve large kerosene lamps and
suspended from the ceiling, broke and
fell in the midst of the congregation.
As the chandelier fell the lamps were
overturned, aud spread kissing shests
of FIRE in every direction aud in an in
slant the church and many Of the con
eregstion were in flames and others
were stified By the black oil smoke,
which quickly filed the building. sien
women aud children we're soon crowded
together In one budding mass, all pan
ic stricken. The minister was among
the first to recover bis presence Of mind
and be at once called to the deacous to
preserve order aud persuade the con-
gregstion TO be calm. This had the
desired effect and as soon IS the minis
ter, who fortunately had s stentorian
voice, shouted the names Of the differ
ent church officers present they began
A. once to break open the doors and
windows and organized to remove the
women aud children. The church,
which is large frame building without
galleries. had four doors and large win
dows on each side, and fortunately vas
no, raised high above the ground. The
congregation therefore, we're enabled
to get out withOu; delay. Several Ia
dies and an old gentleman were badly
injured b. the falling chandelier. Num-
bers Of others were burned BY the oil,
bl, up 10 this hour 10 deaths are re-
ported but IL is feared that four Of .Lo.e
present, all young ladies'. will die froz
the effect q the ssmcs.
