A NIGHT OF AGONY.
Five Youths Rescued from Capsized Boat
One Dies Exhausted.

Vuc Dtfs ExnauStcds
A Cleveland special says: Sunday
afternoon last five young men started
from Colts, summer resort . few
miles east of the city, in small open
sloop.yacht for sail on the lake.
Their names were Frederick Brooks,
James Blessing, j. z. Bayliss, A. b.
Bascomb, and L. E. Barney, ranging in
age from seventeen to twenty-five years.
When about three miles from shore Just
at dusk sudden squall struck the boat,
capsizing it and throwing the young
men into the water. A heavy blow fol-
lowed and the waves ran high. All Of
the crew succeeded in getting a hold on
the boat, and there they clung through
out the long hours of the night amid al
ternating hopes and fears. About 6
o'clock this morning Henry Saunders,
coachman, employed by W. j. Gordon,
the millionaire owner of Gordon's
Park, near Colts, took some horses
out to Craze on the lake shore.
His attention was attracted by
the sound Of voices on the water.
Looking in the direction, he saw boat
on its side and several persons clinging
to it. 1t was then drifting nearly a
mile from shore and almost opposite
the lighthouse at the mouth Of Doan
brook. He gave an answering " Hal
loa " which was responded to by the
waving of handkerchiefs. Saunders at
once called for assistance, and with
Edward Fitzgerald, fellow-workman,
hurried to the rescue in small skiff.
Nearing the capsized yacht a pitiable
spectacle was presented. One Of the
party, Fred. Brooks, was unconscious
and apparently dead. Another, James
Blessing, was wildly delirious. Both
were held by their three companions,
who clung to the side of the boat and
were themselves nearly dead from ex-
hauston.
The young men were taken ashore
and restoratives Immediately applied.
They were almost stupefied with cold,
and it was found impossible to revive
either Brooks or Blessing. The former
died shortly after being taken to his
home. Blessing is in precarious con-
dition, and may die at any time. Bas-
comb, Barney, and 'Bayliss are con-
fined to their beds and are threatened
with symptoms Of pneumonia, which,
in their exhausted state, would be likely
to prove fatal.

virginia News Notes.

There is a scheme on foot to establish
an infirmary or hospital in Lynchburg
under the auspices Of the Masons.
The general merchandise store Of Mr..
W. 7. Kerrick, at Markham, Fauquier
county, was destroyed by fire Sunday
night, together with the entire contents.
The origin of the fire was not learned.
The store and goods were fully in
sured.
Colonel c. c. Wertenbaker, of the
Third Virginia volunteers, has for the
convenience Of the members of his COM
mand postponed the time of the regi-
mental encampment at Ocean View
from the 10th instant till the middle
Of July.
The Lynchburg News says: Mr..
Alexander ID. Perrow, one of the pro-
prietors Of PAGES warehouse, was
thrown from a buggy at Pamplin's
depot yesterday and painfully hurt.
He was knocked senseless, and re-
NAMED in a deiirious state for some
time. Mr.. Perrow was at first report
ed to be seriously hurt, and his friends
in this city were considerably alarmed,
but later intelligence was of more
assuring nature. 1t seems that Mr..
Perrow was riding in buggy that had
no back-support, when dog ran across
the road and frightened the horse. The
animal suddenly jumped forward, throw
ing the occupant of the buggy back
ward into the road, where he was
found soon thereafter in an insensible
state.

Memorial.day had its annual obser-

troduced in an eloquent address by
Rev. j. P. Strider, of Staunton.

cornerstone Of the soldiers monument
soon to be erected in that cemetery.
After these ceremonies the Staunton
artillery, commanded by Captain j. t:
Long, and headed by the Stonewall
Brigade Band, marched to the Federal
cemetery. The central mound there, in
which the staff of the national flag is
planted, was then profusely decorated
with flowers, during which the Stonewall
Band played a dirge and the national
air, after which Colonel w. III. Ii.
Lynn delivered a handsome address,
with an appropriate reference to the
brave men who were buried there.
The artillery then fired national sa-

The crowd in the city to-day was
larger than at any memorial-day for the
past five years.

The HEAVY Rains-Crop Prospects, &c.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispate =.
DIANA MILLS, June 6, 1885.
The recent rains have made great
improvement in our crops generally.
The grass crop is quite flourishing and
promises a good yield. Corn and oats
are doing we'll. The wheat looks much
more encouraging than it did few
weeks ago, though there are some
crops that were so badly killed out du-
ring the winter that very little can be
expected Of them. We have had fine
seasons for planting tobacco, and most
Of the farmers have finished planting.
Plants have been abundant.
The rains that have done so much
good have in some instances fallen so
rapidly and in such quantity as to raise
the streams, and a good deal Of mis-
chief has been done by high water,
washing away fences and water-gates,
and good deal of labor has been re-
Quired to repair the damage. We had
a severe storm of wind and rain on yes
terday, which did more damage than
all the freshets Of the season. Trees,
fences, and houses were blown down.
Some orchards were very much injured
by breaking down the peach-trees and
blowing down the apple-trees. Our
orchards escaped the frost, and we were
hoping for an abundant crop of fruit,
but this storm has cut short our expecta-
tions.
The health of our neighborhood is
excellent. There is not a case of sick
ness within our knowledge, and there
has been no death to report for months.

fire Sunday night great deal Of pill
fering was done, and some OF the suf.
fercrs lost quite severely. The people
generally, however, both white and
colored, worked manfnlly to check the
flames.
The chief engineer Of our department
reports that during the fiscal year now
drawing to close there were forty-six
fires in this city. The aggregate loss
Of property is not stated, but it was
heavier than usual. The department
has Just been furnished with new hose.
This afternoon, while servant was
hitching up gentleman's buggy on
Bank street, the horse took fright and
dashed away, turning into and running
up Market street. At the corner Of
Market and Tabb streets child Of Mr..
Jeferson's, aged between four and five
years, was playing in the gutter. As
the horse approached, Mr.. II. V. l..
Bird, who was passing near, saw the
danger of the child and ran and tried to
save it. AS he grasped the child both
were struck by the vehicle and thrown
npon the pavement. The child was
quite severely injured on the head.
Mr.. Bird was severely shocked and, it
is feared, considerably injured. He
was taken home in carriage and
physician summoned. His gallant con-
duct is highly praised.

correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.
HAMPDEN-STDNEY, June 8, 1885.
1he exercises usual on commence
ment occasions began here on yester-
day, when DR.. McIlwaine, the presi-
dent Of Hampden-Sidney, preached in
the College church at III A. NJ. the
baccalaureatc sermon, from Proverbs
xvi, 32 :" He that is slow to anger is
better than the mighty, and he that
ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a
city," The last clause was the main
subject Of remark. After reference
to what was meant in Solomon's time by
the taking of a city, especially the city
Of Jerusalem, and an exposition of the
term spirit" the text was used to
enforce in various ways the great and
essential Importance of self-mastery
and seh-discipline in order to success
ful and useful life, and the sermon was
closed with earnest and useful advice
10 the young men Of the graduating
class.
Tonight, in the village church at
Worsham, the closing exercises Of the
Worsham Male Academy took place.
An address was made by the Rev. DR..
Harmon, Of Lynchburg, who said that
he would go back to the past and Sc
9ect as his theme "Diogenes and His
Tub" He set forth at length the Pc
culiarities Of Diogenes's system of
philosophy, and enforced it by argu-
ment and illustration. The address
was greatly enlivened by flashes of
wit and anecdote. DR.. Harmon is also
to make the address before the literary
societies of Hampden-Sidney on We'd
nesday.
At the close Of the address the vale
dictory was delivered by Mr.. Nellie
Bull, of Norfolk. a student of the
academy, bidding his companions a
tender adieu. LONGFELLow.

WONDERS IN TELEGRAPHY.
New system that viii Revolutienizc the
Telegraphic Service.

A New system that viii Reyolutienizc the
Telegraphic Service.
A Philadelphia special says An ex-
ceedingly interesting exhibition of an
entirely new system of telegraphy, that
bids fair to at least measurably revolu-
tionize telegraphic and telephone SER
vice, was given here to-day. There
were present by invitation a number Of
New York and Philadelphia capi-
talists, electricians, and representa-
tives Of the press. The tests were
highly successful. The most marvellous
thing about the contriyance is the fact
that a single ordinary telegraphic-wire
conveys the electric current and
operates the receiving machine. In
appearance the sending machine is very
much like an ordinary typewriter.
The instrument has forty-two keys
the letters ofthe alphabet, the numerals,
and a few punctuation marks-and
every letter or sign struck by the send
ing apparatus was instantly shown both
upon that instrument and the receiver.
Pressure upon any key caused certain
number Of magnetic impulses to pass
through the line. The number of these
impulses differs for each letter, and
they bring corresponding letters on
the type-wheel Of the receiving in
strument into such q position as
to mark the impression on a piece Of
paper. Any person who can read can
transmit and receive messages through
it as correctly as could the most ex-
perienced expert using the Morse in
strument. 1t is as rapid as it is accu-
rate, and all messages by it being au-
tomatically printed, both at the point
of transmission and that Of reception,
they can be received with safety and
reliability in the absence, as well in the
presence, Of the recipient. The record
ing of messages at both points pre-
cludes all questions Of errors in trans
mission. 1t cannot be read by sound,
and is consequently the only method
for preserving privacy in electrical COM
munications. 1t is at once stock in
dicator, telephone, and type-printing
telegraph. The inventor was Mr.. George
NJ. Hathaway, but Mr.. Linville has
done much to make the contrivance
practical. The company controlling
this system, which Is known as the
Hathaway-Linville, has already sold at
large sums territorial rights for Ohio,

AS many people as could be packed
into the Main-Street Methodist church
on Sunday night were interested and
instructed by the baccalaureate sermon
Of Rev. DR.. r. n. Sledd, of Norfolk,
for the Danyille College for Young
Ladies. The subject was "Wo-
man and Religion" DR.. Sledd re-
marked that it seemed natural
for woman to be Christian
spoke Of the blessings Christianity had
conferred upon woman, and pointed out
rs what might prevent her from be-
coming Christian the power Of fashion,
desire for admiration, and ambition for
social position. But neither can analy-
sis present the beauties of the address

A storm of wind and rain passed
over the country between Martinsville
and Danyillc yesterday, and trees were
blown down here and there. In one
place a tree fell across the railway
track, but no harm was done.
The people Of Henry county were
too busy to be out from home in force
yesterday (court-day), and the court
house square was held mainly by can
vassers from Danyille and Richmond.
On some plantations all Of the tobacco
lands had not been prepared for plants
when the first season came on, but it
was agreed that all the balance of the

county who says he will make ten
bushels for one. Here is one from
Henry county who says he will make
eight to one. Here is another who
says seven. Here is another who says
five. "And what will be the average
yield in the county," said the reporter.

answer from several. ALPHA.
