Killed by Wasps.

Wasps killed William P. Thompson,
farmer living in Allegany county,
Md. While working in corn field he
noticed what he supposed to be bees
swarming around stump Of an old oak
tree standing in fence corner. He
approached and rashly attempted to in
vestigate them by striking the stump
with his hoe. In an instant whole
nest of wasps, probably 500 or 600
strong. attacked him. They settled all
over his head and chung to him with
remarkable persistency. When he
reached home screaming for help, his
wife was compelled to beat them on
with a broom. He had been stung in a
horrible manner. There was scarcely
a piece of skin as big as a penny on his
head which had not been pierced by the
wasps' sting. He had just had his hair
cut with clipper and the wasps found
no difficulty in getting in their work
all over his scalp. One of them had set
tied in his left eye and stung the eye
ball. In two hours Thompson head
had swollen to mopstrous size, his
left eye protruding, and he was q terri

London and SodOm.

The Rev. Mr.. 5purge0n has produced
a profound sensation in London by an
article over his signature in the Monthly
Reviep. In this the great preacher mar
rates in detail the story of the death last
wear of Justice Williams in a brothel
and the disclosures brought out In the
recent Jeffries case. He makes these ex-
amples from high official life the basis
of a full favored denu1ciatlon of En-
glish immortality, and he says:
"Sodom in its most putrld days would
scarce exceed London for vice. 10 our
infinite disgust and horror the names
of the greatest in the land are openly
mentioned in connection with the filth
lest debauchery and the most hideous
evil that drags in the wake of vice.
These things are alleged to be the chosen
luxury of certain hereditary Legislators
and rulers in England. Woe unto thee,
England, when thy great ones love the
harlot's housetop! Deep is our shame
when we know that our judges are not
clean, and that social purity is put to
the blush by magistrates of no mean de-
gree! Yea, that courts of justice lend
themselves to covering up and hushing
up iniquities great! Shall not God be
grieved by such nation as this? What
is coming over US? What clouds are
darkening our sky?
The recent exposures Of London's
vices by the Pail Mall Gasette show a
shocking state Of affairs in that city.
Members of the nobility and men most
prominent in the society Of England
are said to be the leaders in these crimes.

A Daring Outrage.

The most daring and adrOitly execut-
ed robbery that has taken place In Chi
cago for good many years was COM
mitted last week at the residence of
Thomas Smith, head draughtsman In
the employ OF the Dearborn Foundry.
Mr.. Smith is in receipt of good salary,
and although lessee of box In the
vaults of the Union Safety and Deposit
Company, il has been his practice for
some time past to trust large portion
of his earnings with his wife. Mrs.
Smith Is stout lady, about twenty-six
years old. When her husband went to
work after dinner she was left alone In
their ROOFS, which include all of the
apartments on the first floor. A ring at
the bell called Mrs. Smith TO the front
door. Two men, dressed as mechanics,
were standing there. They introduced
themselves as plumbers sent by the
landlord. Mrs. Smith, unsuspicious,
led the way to the kitchen. She stood
by the door as the first one entered,
and after waiting moment turned 10
let the second man pass. AS she turned
he struck her a terrible blow with his
fist, which caused her to fall on her
knees. Before she had time to cry out
her assailant's fingers were fastened on
her neck. Then the other man drew
long rope from sack he carried and
proceeded to bind her feet and hands,
towel was drawn tightly across her
mouth and both ends tied together
back of her head. The robbers then
tore open the bosom Of Mrs. Smiths
dress and got hold of a wallet contain
ing $1,000. Suddenly the dOor-bell
rang, and one of the fellows coolly an
swered the summons. Mr.. Timothy and
wife, friends of the Smiths, had stopped
to make a friendly call. While one OF
the robbers held Mrs. Smith on the
floor, with his hand pressed over her
mouth to prevent her uttering sound,
the other Informed the callers that Mrs.
Smith was i'll, and unable to see any VS.
itors. Then he closed and locked the
door. Then the robbers quietly left the
house, leaving Mrs. Smith upon the
floor bound hand and foot, and almost
dead from fright. She managed to loosen
the bands about her wrists, and drag
ged herself to the front door. A passer-
by was informed of what had taken
place, and the police were notified. No
clue has been obtained yet. Mrs. Smith
has been Frustrated by the shock. She
is now seriously i'll.

Tortured TO Death.

There has been considerable excite
ment for several days past in Hardy
county, Va, in the vicinity Of Martins
vile, over the mystery involved in the
death of Mrs. G.. L. Stone, Jr., who was
found dead last Monday and soon there
after was buried. Suspicion of foul play
having been aroused the body was eX-
humed and coroner's investigation be-
gun. An autopsy showed that the de-
ceased was in a perfectly healthy condi-
ton. A large number of witnesses were
examined and on Saturday the corOner's
Jury rendered a verdict that Mrs. Stone
came to her death from cruel and brutal
treatmen. at the hands of her husband
and his father, G.. l.. Stone, Sr. Both
father and son have been committed to
Jail TO await the action of the grand
Jury. The evidence shows that the de-
ceased was tortured to death by most
shameful and unnatural treatment. The
excitement over the crime continues and
an assault upon the Jail and the lynch
ing of the prisoners is threatened.

On Saturday. while thunder cloud
was passing in the afternoon, Il. A.
Sewell, in Panther Creek, Coweta
county, was struck by lightning and
knocked down. His spring is about
three hundred yards from his house,
and for convenience he has telegraph
wire to draw water, with Il carriage
and bucket attached, and had just drawn
bucket from the spring and was drink
ing out of it when the wire was struck
by lightning. The bolt ran up the wire
and into the bucket, thence into Mr..
Sewell's mouth, knocking him senseless
for some time. His mouth inside was
badly Slistered. 1t is thought that the
lightning lost its force in passing
through the water, else Mr.. Sewell
would have been killed.-Atlanta Con-
stitution.

Renewal Of Business Activity.

The statements of the Bureau of Sta
tistics at Washington show that there
has been a marked increase in the eX-
ports of iron during the past month
over the corresponding month last year.
It is also ascertained that the exports Of
other products have increased.
This is exactly what the country
wants. A marked increase in iron ex-
ports will be felt in nearly every de-
partment Of trade in the course Of time.
1t will be necessary to work of consid-
cradle accumulated stocks, but the no.
ment these begin to disappear the work
of replenishing will begin.
1t Is not in the nature Of things that
an industrial depression, caused chiefly
by over.productiou, can be long contin-
ued. There are signs that the depres-
sion in this country. which has been so
general. will shortly give place to re-
newed business life.
Let the crOaker 60 to the rear now and
give business chance.-Philadelphia

The West Virginia Court of Appeals,
which has been i'm session for some
weeks past, adjourned last Thursday, to
meet in Charlestown next September.
The Wheeling Register, in noting the
adjournment, pays the worthy Judges
Of this Court the following justly mer-
tied compliment: cit is not generally
known perhaps, but it is nevertheless
true that the Court has labored so stead
lily and earnestly that it is nearly up
with the docket, and that during the
next term It will catch up completely.
This condition OF the docket is unprece-
denied in the history of this tribunal,
and speaks well for the persisten. en-
ergy with which the Judges have applied
themselves to their work."

WE are waiting with anxiety to see
the result of the libel suits Of our es-
teemed contemporary, the West Virginia
Democrat, against our other esteemed
contemporaries, the Richie Gazette and
the Wheeling Intelhgencer. If the for
mer shall win the suits it has instituted,
q new way for increasing his fortune
will be opened up to the poor country
editor. All he has to do will be to get
some one to SANDER him-and that's
easy enough these days-when he can
institute suit and get rs much money as
he wants. Take for instance the Demo
scrat. At the end of the fret year of its
existence the balance sheet will De some
thing like this:

BY amt received from Wheeling Intel NIX
dgenceT. ................',.. iV'vvv
BY amt Of net income from Democrat. 10

be obtained the first year.
