parently insane at the time.
Almost the very day he put an end to him

Mr.. Campbell was believed to have been
worth between $4,000, 900 and So, 5,000, 600.

To go from grave to gay: The course of
true love never does run smooth! A
Danish girl, rejoicing in the name of Ida
Smith, or its Scandinavian equivalent, ar
rived in this city on the Gellert, last week,
on her way to Wisconsin, where she was
to be married to her lover who had settled
there several years ago. Her parents dis
approved of the marriage, and her uncle.
a barber in this city, bethought
himself of a professional mode
of f0rbidding the bans while she was in
transitu. Accordingly, when he met her
at Castle Garden, he persuaded her that
her hair-of which she had a prOfusiOn,
curling in golden masses around a WE'LL
shaped head-was unfashlonably long,
and induced her to let him cut it. He
cut il short enough, as he thought, to
render her hideOus in her lovers eyes;
but she, having faith in the latter's at
tachment, set out to join him as speedily
as if she were still the fair one with
the golden locks to whom he had plighted
his trOth in Denmark.
The Republicans in New York are
playing the double game for which the
grand old party is noted. They are con-
scientiOusly investigating into the ex-
cessiYe emOluments in the Democratic Of

to make the fat fees of the Republican
health officer of the port a subject for in

THE GEORGIA REPUBLICANS.
Col. A. E. Buck says that he did not call
the Republican State Committee together
on the 23d, because the Democratic State
Committee is TO meet on the 22d, and he
knew nothing Of the call. There seems
to be desire to have both State COnVen-

THE GAY HEAD DISASTER.
The Government Chart-What an Old
Pilot Said.

The Government Chart-What an Old
Pilot Said.
Through the courtesy of the Hon. Geo.
M. Landers, of New Britain, says the
Hartford Times, we have the large chart.
40 by so inches, made by the soundings
and measurement of the Coast Survey,
from MonomOy and Nantucket Shoals,
through the Vineyard Sound. 1t shows
the soundings at every spot, all the way,
outside as we'll as inside Of the
islands, and the exact course to
be taken by all steamers, according to
the sailing chart. This line is going
west when the steamer makes NObska
light, at Woods Hole, at the east end of
NaushOn Island, is plain and the direc-
tion not possible to be mistaken. At that
point the course is to defect southwest
erly, but to keep thence in true course
just south of NaushOn, Nashawena and
Chuttyhunk Islands, for almost dozen
miles to point nearly five miles north
west of Gay Head-then turn south. The
City of Columbus had no business near
Gay Head. There is another course
point, but it is not the safe
course of the sailing chart. Moreover,
Gay Head light sent its warning blaze
boldly out from that wild promontorv,
and to run upon that irOn-bound headland
or its outlying rocks and reefs seems to
have been an act of such unaccOuntable
stupidity as to justify the assertion of an
the first to get ON deck.
that everybody in charge of the doomed
ship must have been fast asleep. To-day
the quartermaster, or pilot, practically
teStifieS that he knew nothing of the route
knew not where he was!

morning at 10 O'Clock, J. c. Dent, of the
firm of Wells & Dent, druggists, in the
Heinlin block, corner of Bank and Ben
nett streets, went into his store with an
alcohol lamp. The store had been more
than two-thirds submerged, and barrel
of gasoline had been upset. The gas from
this had risen to the second story. No
sooner did it come in contact with the
flame of the lamp than an explosion
took place, and the building was
set on fire. Mr.. Dent. who
was badly burned, jumped from the second
story window and received serious inter-
nal injuries. The Wheeling Fire Depart
ment was unable to cross the island,

with water, and there were no other
means of checking the fire. Heinlin &
