Narrow Escape of n North Wheeling Lad
from Death.
Yesterday morning shortly after II
o'clock, while q number of boys ranging
from ten to fourteen years of age, were en-
gagged in playing about some box cars stand
ing on the Pwiky track near the keg factory
in North Wheeling, several of them climbed
up the side OF the cars and began running
about their roofs. While thus engaged one
of their number, Harry G. Campbell, aged
10 years, q son of Captain ]. B Campbell,
of the steamer Princess, lost his balance in
turning around and fell to the ground, a
distance of about ten feet, his forehead
striking the end of cross tie, cutting a
cash about two inches in length just above
the right eye. The boy was carried to his
home, No. 744 Market street, and DR..
Ulrich sent for, who restored him to con,
seriousness and sewed up his head.
Several boys have been hurt about these
cars, and parents should see that their
children select some other playground.

THE COUNTY INFlRMARY.
Statements Pro and Con Upon Its
Condition.
Much Comment Upon the Article in Yes
terdsy's Register, and a General
Desire to Get at the Truth
Regarding the
Home.

The exclusive publication in yesterday
mornings REGISTER OF the observations OF
the committee of the Womens Christian
Association upon the occasion ola recent
visit to the County Infrmary, created quite
a sensation in this city yesterday, and there
was decided disposition manifested among
our citizens to have the facts laid before the
county authorities and the public at as
early a date as possible. On all sides the
hope was expressed that an Investigation
would show the Infrmsry to have been IN
better shape than was alleged in the state
ment of the members of the committee, but
if il be shown that the situation as by them
depicted was
A TRUE PHOTOGRAPH
Of the condition of the institution last win
ter, then there will be demand that such
steps be taken as will prevent the recurrence
of the same.
Yesterday daughter of the late Super
intendent, Captain Plankey, waited upon
the members OF the committee who visited
the Poor House, and seemed very much
hurt over the published statement of the
committee, fearing, she said, thepeople would
reflect upon her. The lady virtually admitted
the correctness of the published account but
said in extenuation, that she had done the
best she could at the Home, under the cir
cumstances, alleging that she did not have
the efficient help that was absolutely neceg,
sary to keep the building in good order and
condition. Regarding the bedbugs, ETC., she
said they were in the house when Capt:
Plankey took charge Of it, and that she had
not been able to get rid of them. She also
stated that the poor girl referred to as hav'
ing been kept in the cellar all winter without
fire had been
A CONSTANT SOURCE OF ANXIETY
to her, for had she been frozen to death the
public would have laid the blame upon her
and her father.
Abiding to the alleged inadequate way in
which theinstitution was provided tor, she In
stanced the case of the employment Of a
Young man of sixteen as q teacher, recelV'
ing a salary of $50 per month for a few
hours work each day, when the same ex
penSiture of money would have secured the
services of an assistant who would have de
voted his or her whole time tothe attention oil
the home and inmates.
The ladies Of the Christian Association
desire US to say that while they do not de
sire any controversy with the Board Of Com
misssioners or its members, they propose to
see that the institution is kept in proper or.
der or the public shall know the reason why;
As pertinent to this matter, We append
the following communication from a mem,
Der Of the Board who, while defending
Capt. Plankey, the late Superintendent
does not seem to entirely agree with the
statements OF the Captains daughter.

Encouragement,

Encouragement is something that
we naturally look for.
How many poor hearts have sunk
into despondency, when little encour-
agement would have reassured them!
The child looks to the mother for
help and encouragement when it is
taking its first step in walking. The
school-boy looks for encouragement
from his teacher when he is taking his
first step in education.
And so on through life. The SOL
dier looks for it on the field of battle; it
is the cheering voice of its leader that
urges him on through the dangers of
death and crowns the day with victo-
ry.
The poet and the artist look to the
world to acknowledge their genius and
give them praise. 1t is encouragement
which calls forth their noblest words
and helps them to climb the mount of
fame until they surmount all difficult
ties and write their names IN flaming
letters upon its summit.
Then let us give encouragement to
each other in every effort Of good, in
every noble action, in the little duties
of life and we will be happier for it,
the world will be better, and a smil-
ing Providence will look down and
bless our labor of love.-S. Louis
Magazine.

Protection to Medicine Takers.

On the 1st of December the new
law relating to prescription druggists
will go into effect in New York. This
law provides that no person shall prac-
tice the business who has not passed
satisfactory examination; and, afteI
the first of January next, persons moi

by the State Board of Pharmacy are
prohibited from putting up prescrip
tions. Every druggist who was in bus
mess on his own account on the 4th OF
May last. every clerk of over five years
experience, and all graduates of any
college of pharmacy in the State are
entitled to register. The first exami4
nation will be held in Albany on De
cember 8. The law contains three
string ent provisions regulating the
business.

The Mind During Starvation.

The recent case of cannibalism at
sea opens up some curious questions as
to the effects of fasting on the moral
nature of man. To the superficial OBJ
server, death by starvation simply
means a wasting of the body. horri-
BILE agony, an increasing weakness, q
lethargic state of the brain, and a
sleep from which there is no awaken
ing; but is this all that it meansP
While this is going on let us consider
whether or not the intellectual faculty,
and with it the power of distinguish
ing right from wrong, is not also un-
dergolng a process of wasting and
death, even before that of the mate
rial part, for, however. dangerous it
may be to receive opinions to associate
the material nature of brain with the
moral nature of our being, we are
bound to do so to elucidate some OF
the facts connected with this case.
Reasoning by analogy, we find that,
in many cases of bodily disease, the
state of the mind is the first indicator
of the mischief going on in the system.
Take even such a simple thing as indi-'
gestion, which, as every one must
know, is only manifestation OF ue-
ranged stomach, and what do we find?
That the lowness of spirits induced by
this affection may vary from slight
detection and ill-humor to the most
extreme melanchly, sometimes induc-
ing even disposition to suicide. The
sufferer misconceives every act of
and exaggerates slight all
nents into heavy grievances. So in
the power of reason seems
,sralyzed and the intellectual faculty
LACED really before the functions of
he body suffer, or even the wasting
II its tissue becomes extreme. Such
,eing the case, the unfortunate indi-
,iduaI is not accountable for his ac-
ions, even if they be criminal in char
.cter, long before death puts an end
O his sufferings.-N Fl. Davies tas Pop
lar Science Monthly.

Kate SmulSey's Long Fast.

Kate Smulsey, of Fort Plain, has
now tasted, it is said, 259 days. She
is only slightly weaker. The shaking
of her body and arms continues. The
appearance of her flesh is not such as
would be expected of one who has en-
dured such a protracted fast, but is
rather bloated and abnormal in SEM
blance. She receives the best of care
from her mother, who continually
watches by her side. Extreme tender
ness is used in caring for her. When
she is removed from her couch, that
the bedding may be changed. she is
lifted tenderlysin sheet. Miss Smul-
sey last tasted food on March II. Her
mother testilies to this, and adds that
she earnestly wishes her daughter
would eat something. The young
woman talks little and in scarcely
audible voice. She says she has no
appetite for anything, even were she
the belief that she will eventually be
restored to health. DR.. Zoller, the
family physician, says that she takes
no medicine now, and has not taken
any for some time. Said the doctor
yesterday: During all my attention
on Miss Smulsoy have never seen her
eat anything, nor have | discovered
any indication that she has done so.
1 have frequently advised her to eat
her stomach could stand and
have frequently taken delicate gruels
to her, but she always refused to eat"
There is no question in this community
with reference to the veracity of the
Smulsey family, which is highly re-
spected. They were reluctant to allow
the case to reach public notice and are
extremely diflident now on being ap-
preached with inquiries concerning
the daughters condition. Neighbors
and friends visit her daily and until
further evidence is adduced, this COM
munity will not question the reality of
Miss Smulsey's fast. Miss Smulsey
was twenty years old on October Pa
Union.

SpOuting Oil Wells in Russia.

The principal oil-wells of the Baku
district lie at BalaXame or Balakhani,
about six miles to the northeast of the
town; this is an oil-field about 81 miles
in length by II in breadth. To the
south lies a smaller field called Beben-
bat. One fountain at Balakhani, nine
ty-eight feet in depth, is noted as hav-
ing been flowing steadily for upward
of two years and still continuing to
yield eight hundred barrels a day.
Another we'll not far off, 400 feet deep,
commenced its career by throwing up
jet thirty feet in the air, and then
flooding the land with oil for consid-
cradle distance all around, overflow
ing other wells and several small re-
tineries, so as efectually to stop their
work. The roar of the rushing oil
and gas could be heard a mile from
the spot.
Various fowing-wells are said to
yield six thousand barrels day, and
some far more; but, from the fact that
these quantities are generally stated in
the Russian measure of poods, it is not
very easy to realize what is meant.
One pood, we learn, is equal to thirty
six pounds English. Hence one thous-
and pools represent somewhere about
sixteen tons. Accounts have just
reached England of an oil-fountain
which was struck last December, and
flows at the rate of from fifty thous-
and to sixty thousand poods daily,
gushing forth with such force as to
break in pieces a three-inch cast-iron
plate which had been fastened over
the we'll in order to divert the flow in
a particular direction. In the same
district huge heap of sand marks the
spot where an offspring, on being tap
ped, straightway threw up column of
petroleum to twice the height of the
Great geyser in Iceland, forming
huge black fountain two hundred feet
in height-a fountain, however, due
solely to the removal of the pressure
On the confined gas, for there is no
race of volcanic heat. The fountain
was visible for many miles round. and
IN the first day it poured forth about
wo million gallons, equal to fifty
thousand barrels.
An enterprisng photographer who
vas on the spot secured photograph !
which places this matter beyond cavil. |
The fountain continued to play for five a
months, gradually decreasing week by |
seek. till it finally ceased to play, +
saving its unfortunate owners IAN |
