The annual camp meeting of Wheeling

Dr.. ]. W. Webb. 0n Thursday Rev. Mr.
King, Bishop Andrews and DR.. Webb

meetings.
This morning the large auditorium was
filed with an intelligent audience who lis
tened to Rev. Or. F. S. DeHass with the
closest attention.
The Doctor chose as his subject, "The
Poolishness OF Preaching" the people
expected great things and they were not
disappointed. At3o'clock Rev. Dr.. Webb
preached. His sermon was thoroughly
prepared, careful and searching theological
discourse and was highly appreciated.
This evening Rev. DR.. Pershing OF the
Pittsburgh Female College, preached. The
audience was very large and the attention
was perfect. The Doctor Is a pleasing
speaker and his sermon contained much OF
the scientific and was very instructive.
The meetings for the young people are pro-

without performing circuitous journeys by
winding around the buttes in very narrow
paths. These buttes are very singular
formations, and resemble mammoth cap
staus, and stand amid the depressions in
the ground like so many small pyramids
The ground Is uuderlaid with Ignite which
burned beneath the surface OF the earth
ages ago, and created these depressions.
We visited spot that has been burning
since the earliest Indian traditions and Is
burning still. We could see the fire occa-
sionally shooting up from the crevices and
number of the party lit their cigars BY
the flame. One OF them remarked that u
Bob Iugersoli was here he could find sure
enough hell where the fire burns for ages
without consuming the substance on which
it feeds.
Ono OF the incidents Of our stop at Pyra-
mid Park was visit from the Marquis
De Mores, a French nobleman who came
out here over q year ago and started large
cattle ranch. His wife is q daughter Of Won
Hoffman, the well.known banker oil New
YORK. A few weeks ago he shot desper'
ado who had threatened his lie, and mas
much az his life is 10 danger now from
some OF the desperado's cowboy sympe.
thizsrs and chums, he goes heavily armed
all the time. he came to our cars and took
dinner with us wearing an ammunition
belt stuck full OF heavy calibre cartridges
and two revolyers. He was dressed as q
froutiersman and his refined and cultivated
face and manners contrasted strangely
with his dress. 1t is a much mooted topic
among the people OF Pyramid Park as to
how soon he will be waylaid and killed.
We asked him why he wanted 10 live in
such country under such circumstances:
Because" said he, ~ like wild life. i
served in the French army five years, part
Of the time in AIgiers; know what shoot
ing is and am not afraid ot it"
Another ranchmRn who took dinner
with US was Howard Eaton, formerly Of
Pittsburgh, fine specimen Of young fell
low who came out here to embark in the
cattle business. couldn't help but notice
his peculiar lingo at the table occasional
ly-the lingo ot frontier life out here. In
answer TO question as to how the cattle got
on when there is snow on the ground he
replied We let them paw It away and
"wrestle for their chuck" He spoke Of
his house as his "shack." This is an In
dian word, and hence "Shack Nasty Jtm,"
the famous Chief, was fellow who lived
in nasty house or shack.
1t was o'clock iu the afternoon when
we got away from Pyramid PARK. We
dropped our special engine there and
hitched on to the regular train. We struck
the Yellowstone at Glendiye, Montana,
about supper time and followed it to Liv-
ingston, a distance Of 400 miles. The
Yellowstone is the chief tributary Of the
Missouri and is a noble stream. will
have more to say about it in my next letter,

so-called Paradise Valley, Of which Liv-

WESTON, August l7.-0ne year age last
February an investigation was held at this
asylum which disclosed that even then Dr.
BANDS incompetency was beginning to
attract attention. A very great portion oi
this testimony was suppressed, and the
general public never saw it. But your cor.
respondent has secured a complete and
authenticated copy Of all the testimony
given at that time, and the following ex.
tracts are given: ."
TESTIMONY OF W. S. wooDRLl..
DR.. Bland said he was very sorry that we
were discharged aud to part with US. Sid
he did not know why we were discharged.
| told him he did know. He got mad.
jumped to his feet, cracked hi. fists and
called me liar. Witness also swore that
he afterwards heard DR.. Bland tell third
person the cause OF his discharge.
TESTIMONY OF ". E. TATE.
Rarely saw DR.. Bland in the wards.
was in the wards frequently and had many
opportunities Of seeing While the grading
was going on which lasted month or so,
DR.. Bland was on the outside superintend-
inc It. Generally came down about s
O'Clock in the morning and remained
there till noon. Renamed in the after.

went to supper. When they were repair.
ing the old engine house DR.. Bland came
out aud told me to 90 for the carpenter.
Bland sat down while | went and
found the carpenter making coffin and
told him my errand. He said he could
not go till he had finished the coffin. re-
turned aud told Bland. The Doctor
raised up and said "Who is dead ?
| must 60 and see about
IT." and started off. One day he told me
there was an order made relating to en-
ployes OF the institution. The order stated
that there were certain employees OF the in
stitution who had violated the laws, and
the Executive Committee and Snperin-
tendent were ordered to discharge them
whenever they saw proper TO send them.
| asked who violated the law. He said
neither lie nor the Executive Committee
knew. | asked how he knew anybody did
it. He said by an article in the Wheeling
Register in relation to a patient named
Rose, who was killed here. He said they
had described things so plainly that he
knew it was an omploye or somebody that
had seen it, or they couldn't describe it.
He then stated that il he knew OF any one
telling anything Of the workings OF the in.
stitution he would discharge them.
This sworn testimony corrohorates all
that have said Of BANDS inconpelency.
1t appears he is in the habit Of calling peo.
pie liars. In former letter from this place
spoke in commendatory telms OF the
cleanliness Of the asylum. do not at this
time desire to say anything different. The
building is clean enough, but cleanliness is
only next to Godliness.
