Stabbed 10 Death nt "a Dance.

a bloody tragedy was enacted at an
early hour sunday morning 1t Martins
Ferry, just opposite Wheeling, w. Va.
\ dance was in progress at Terrell's sa-
loon, which extended into Sunday. Ben
Frazier, notorious rough, and George
Blcnbach had an old grudge, and each
claimed the hand of II girl for Il waltz. A
quarrel, inspired by the old feud, was be-
gun, and Bleubach took the girl, who
threw herself between them. Frazier drew
Il huge knife, and, reaching over the girl,
made lunge at his opponent, inllicting
a fatal wound. Blenbach fell, and Fra
zier, throwing the trembling girl aside,
again buried the blade in his antagonists
body. Bystanders interfered, and the dy-
ing man was borne out. Two officers saw
the affair, but did not venture to intrude,
even when the murderer threw away the
bloody knife and began waltz. For two
hours he danced and then quietly walked
out, went to Wheeling and buried himself
in the purlieus. Blenbach died Sunday
night.

Coleman Business college now em- braces Nos. TOT, 709, I'll and 713 Broad street, which plainly indicates the great success of this popular institution. There is scarcely state that does not send pupils to the Coleman college. During 1883 Pennsylvania sent 75, Con- necticut 36, New York 35; and our own state hundreds. They come from Cana da and as far west US Nebraska; every southern state is also represented. The recent enlargement became necessary to accommodate the January arrivals. The new business office, corner Broad and Cedar streets, is said to be the handsom- est in the city and is only one short flight of stairs from the street.

"Reminiscences of Southern New
 Marlboro. No. 3.

Ashur Donalds, though native of Canaan and spent most of his life in that town, lived for several years in the southern part of New Marlboro. Mir Donalds was carpenter, joiner and wheelwright, skillful workman. It is said that his work came together with mathematical ricity and exactness and that even the mudsills in the dams he built, showed as nice and particular work as on more pretentious buildings.
 My first acquaintance with MT Don- aids was in 1882. He then lived in the deep valley below Campbell falls. He had small grist mill almost under a iutting rock at the bottom of the falls. There was a miniature dam just above the mill and a narrow foot bridge across the stream. I used to wonder how they used to transport the grain to be ground; first down into that deep valley and then across that foot bridge to the mill. The only way could solve the problem was the boys who generally rode on horseback with their grist, if they got safely down the descent when they arrived at the bridge Mr Donalds would kindly take'it across to the mill or what is more probable teams coming with grists would hitch their horses at the top of the hill and shoulder their bags and descend to the mill and when ground would tug them back again.
 But somehow Mir Donalds did not continue long in this place. His next move was to the ravine east of the but ternut meadows on Albert Huxley s land, where after long and patient labor he built saw mill on a small stream called butternut brook. I remember what hard time he had digging the raceway and what satisfaction he had when the whole was completed.
 This mill was built like the other in being far away from any public road, but for the first few years he had con- siderable custom and managed to get a comfortable living, but for some reason he again moved and the next hear of him he had another little grist mill in Ca naan Valley. Thus 1t seems he passed the best years of his life in building not exactly air castles, but mills in some out of the way place, difficult of access and consequently his labor was much of ii misdirected and useless.
 Had he applied his skill and labor to the best possible advantage, he might have obtained competence, instead oi being supported at the public expense in his last days. w.L. S.

"Throw physic to the dogs" is good advice, but use potaska for all throat affections is better. Singers and public speakers use it.
 ''I had bad sore throat and nasty, hacking cough. I used potaska. It cured me. I now never feel safe unless have potaska in the house."
 The die is cast. But look out that the die does not cast you, unless you get potaska for that bad cold you have. Doctors recommend it.
