Infrnlary Affairs.

IL aH0rQS US great deal OF
pleasure to notice that our co :
temporary, the Republican Ga
zette, recognizes in our Infirmary
Directors excellent qualifications,
honorable character, good citi-
zenship. This is what the Sentl-
mel said, what the Democrats be-
iieved and said when they elect
ed them; but is in striking con-
trast with the position of the Ga
zette in campaign times. But it
is gratifying to know that the
Gazette is coming around to our
Democratic side, and is intelli-
gent enough to see, and generous
enough TO, say that our officials
are excellent men.
Our Infrmary Directors are
among the very best men of our
county. They do their duty as
required of them. but they don't
live in the poor house and don't
see what is going on every day.
The editor of the Gazette is ia
mlliar to the fact that on Stale
occasions a good dinner is spread,
and that an abundance of food is
on hand for mau and beast.
He also knows that an inmate
wandered away from the Institu
tion provided for the care of such
as she, and starved to death in
the woods.
We believe he was at the post
mortem examination, and graph
lcalIy described how horribly her
wan face looked at him, as :ho'
in reprnach for the system that
let her, in the midst of plenty.
under well paid guardian, wan
der in the woods for nearly two
weeks, living on nuts and twigs,
and finally lying down in a ditch
to die. The Gazette spoke the
heart and humane then.
An old and once respected
woman dying in the pest house
recently, clad in only woolen
pettycoat, rotting with bed-sores,
attended by a haIf-witted man, is
not yet before him, and his SYM
pathy has not been aroused. He
will hear of it yet. and the man
and not the demagogue will as
sert itself.
The Sentinel remarked mildly.
on information of minister, ply
sician and ladies of reputation,
that neglect of an infirm was
fact.
Stump speeding, such as the
Gazette resorts to, don't blind
the public. The Columbus Jour
nal detailed the case. An inves
tigation is invited and shoGld be
made. When The Gazette, which
seems to be retained as eulogIst
for The Superintendent, desires
witnesses 10 prove all we have
said, we will cheerfully furnish
them to him, or to Pannchus who
pilots Daniel into the Gazette
den.

The Hooking Valley Fire
Brick Company.
AN INDUSTRY THAT SENDS OUT
WORK SECOND; TO NONE
IN THE STATE AND EQUAL
TO THE BEST IN THE
MARKET.

In reproducing the article upon
the Fire Brick Works, published
in last weeks issue, we have
made some revision. That, while
not deiracting IN the least from
the Judgment or knowledge of
any one, gives proper credit to
the man, who, above all others.

plant into existence.

and Virginia. commenced IN 1874
the erection of works, that com
prise part of the plant of the
Hooking Valley Fire Brick Co.,
the main dry floor and she'd, one
grinding pan and one engine now
in use, having been put il by
him.
In 1876, Capt. Bowen, after
having expended about $4,000 in
developing one Of the richest de-
posits in the Valley, and just at
the time when he could soon eX
pectt realize upon his invest
ment, was compelled TO suspend
work, because of the lack of
funds. Two wears later, W. Q
Adams succeeded in organizing
the present company, and while
he is undoubtedly one of the
most thoroughly posted brick in
Southern Ohio, Capt. Bowen is
the pioneer fire brick man in the
Hooking Valley.
But 10 resume.
1t has often been said that there
was only one reason why Logan
could not become great manu-
featuring town of much import
ance, and that was because of her
limited railroad facilities. While
this may be true: it does not do
away with tie fact that the guam
tity and quality of some of her
natural resources still enables
her citizens 10 enter the CONNER
cial world as competitor of the
most distinguished manufactur
ers in the country. Notable
among the goods sent out are

The first officers of the Hooking
Valley Fire Brick Company were,
@. Adams, President; Reu-
ben jenkins, Vice President, and
C. L. Bowen, Sec'y and Treas.
The success of the new com
panv was phenomenal. They moi
only found a ready market for
their brick. but were gratified to
learn that they gave the best of
satisfaction wherever used.
When the factory was started
there was but one dry floor 150X-
so feet, one grinding pan and two
kllns.
Before the end of the year it
was found necessary to enlarge
the works and a new dry floor
100x50 #. and grinding pan were
added. The full capacity of the

An English Woman Kills Her
Husband with ChlOrOfOrm.

An inquest was held in London
recently in the case of the death oi
Mr.. Bartlett, a merchant of Pimlico,
who, it is alleged, was killed by chloro.
form administered by his wife. who
wished to marry the Rev. Mr.. Dyson,
a Wesleyan minister. A statement OF
Mrs. Bartlett was read at the inquest
by her physician. She was sixteen
years of age when she was married to
Bartlett. They made compact to
live together merely as loving friends.
This agreement was adhered to for six
years, when the husband began to en-.
courage her affection for the Rev. Mr..
Dyson. Recently Bartlett began to
manifest renewed affection for her, but
she, feeling it her duty to the minister
to resist her husbands advances, ap.
pealed to him to desist, as he, had
affianced her to Mr.. Dyson. The ap.
peal had only a temporary effect, SO
she resolved oprotect herself from he,
husband by waving chloroform in
front of his face. On the night before
his death, as her husband was retiring
she produced q bottle of chloroform,
which her husband took from her.
Upon awaking in the night she found
her husband lying dead by her side.
The affair has created an intense sen.
sation, and is regarded as likely to
culminate in one of the most prominent
causes celebres in the criminal history
of England

Plucky and Mannish Women.

"There's new racket on the road"
said commercial traveller to the Chi
cago Herald. "It's female drum
mer. met her the other day, and she
is dandy. She travels for Chicago
house, and she sells goods like a Janu-
ary thaw." The male drummer then
goes on to describe the qualities of his
feminine rival and competitor for GUS
tom, how she. beats down landlords,
how half the hotel clerks are ''mashed''
on her, and how she sells gents, furnish
ing goods, and the young men who u.s.
ually keep that kind of stores buy of
her as if they hadn't seen CONNER
clal traveller in six months" The
head and front of her offending seem
to be her success in line of business
which male drummers have heretofore
had to themselves. If she had been a
solicitor of ofsubscription to books-and
everybody knows what artful ways
such women have in wheedling men
into buying books they never read-she
would have been tolerated by some of
the male drummer kind, and admired
by Others, but when she boldly assumes
what they regard as masculine func-
tions, and sells "gents' furnishing
goods" they are jealous of her, and
bestow upon her ironical praise in the
copious and forid language of the
northwestern Observation-Disclosures
Sun.

A Woman Did 1t.

George Greenleaf, accompanied by
his wife, was returning home from
Clayton, in the mountains OF Georgia
one night. It was about 9 o'clock,
and, as is the custom of the country,
they both walked up one of the hills
while the mules and wagon assembled,
their little boy being the driver. Sud.
denly rustic was heard in the bush
es, and peering out in the darkness
could be seen what looked like two
balls of fire. It proved to be large
panther. AS if by instinct, Greenleaf
opened his knife, and as the beast
sprang at him, he made lunge, only
to drive the knife in his wife's arm,
she having thrown herself upon him
at the sight OF danger. He dropped
the knife and fell under the second
spring of the panther. The beast, evi-
IDENTIFY maddened by the scent of blood
was about to insert it's teeth into Mr..
Greenleaf, when his wife, who had
picked up the knife, acting under the
inspiration OF desperation, made a
clean cut at the beasts throat. The
panther gave pitiful cry, rolled over
and died. The cry reached the ears
OF some hunters near by, and soon a
number OF them were on the spot, to
find that q woman had ACCOMPLISHED
what they had been six weeks trying
TO do.-Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.

:. rATIErr WITH rHE LIVING.

Sweet friend. when thou and art gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need OF grace
From comrade or from neighbor,
Passed all the strife, tho toll, the care,
And done with all the sighing-
What tender truth shall we have gained,
Alasl by simply dying?
Then lips too chary Of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes to swift our faults to sec
Shall no defect discover;
Then hands that would not lift q stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and
Ere love ia past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living!
To-day's repressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience, cen when keenest edge
May whet q nameless sorrow.
IT'S easy to bs gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamor,
But wise it were for thee and me.
Ere love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home
BE patient with the living!
Good Cheer
