OBITUARY.

DIED. Saturday morning, March
13, 1886, at Marion, Ohio, H. A.
Adams of TiOnesta, Pa, aged As years
and nearly 6 months, death resulting
from injuries received two weeks pre-.
viOus.
The particulars of Mr.. Adams
death are as follows He was cleaning
the sawdust away from the saw with
an edgiug, bending over the saw at
the tims. The saw caught the edging
he was working with and it was
thrown striking him on the temple at
the outer angle of the left eye. He
was able to walk to the house with
assistance. A physician was called
who pronounced the injury not neces.
sarily dangerous. AS be did not grow
better other physicians we're called
later. The accident occurred March
2nd. It is not probable that he was
entirely rational after being hurt up
to the time Of his death. A post NOR.
ten examination revealed the fact
that the injury was fatal one from
the first. The part of the socket of
the eye struck by the edgiug had been
driven back into the brain, the back
part of this bone being broken and
splintered; FIVE or six of these splin.
ters we're taken from the brain when
examined. ,a:.o
The remains we're brought to Tio.
nests on Monday evening and after
services in the NJ. Z. Church were
laid to rest in Riverside Cemetery, the
burial service Of the NJ. E. Church
and that of the r. T. of T. being read
at the grave.
About a year ago Mr.. Adams was
converted 10 and united with the NJ.
E. Church of this place since which
time be has lived life consistent with
his profession. In his death our com
munity has lost one of the best citi.
zens it had. Honest and upright in
all his dealings, consistent and straight.
forward in bis walk and conversation,
industrious as one could be, he will be
sadly missed and mOurned by all who
admire true manhood. Mr.. Adams
leaves a wife and six children, who
have the heartfelt sympathy of all in
their saddest of sad bereavements.
he was member of Irwin Council,
No. II, of the r. T. of T., aud held
policy in that order for two thousand
dollars. The Council assisted in the
funeral services, which we're attended
by an immense concourse Of sympa.
thizing friends.

sufficient to base an arrest upon has
been discovered. The idea of suicide
has been advanced, but that seems the
least plausible of any. What would

case, after n women had almost entirly
severed her head from the bodyi The
theory of suicide seems ridiculous
when one reflects upon the nature of

The awful tragedy has been and con.
tinues to be the topic of conversation
everywhere, and every new theory or
scrap of news is eagerly sought after.
This will doubles be the case until the
mystery is cleared up and the guilty
brought to justice. And this is as it
should be. The good Of the whole
country demands that neither time,
energy nor money should he spared in
ferreting out the guilty party.

WILD OVER RELIGION.
A Remarkable Revival in a West vir-

A Remarkable Revival in a West Vir-
ginia TOwn-Buying Out the Saloons.
WHEELING, w. VA, Feb. There is
intense excitement OF religious nature
In the little village Of Cameron, Marshall
county, situated on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, - miles from this city,
stirred up by the labors in the place of
MISS Jennie sherman, well known
evangelist. Meetings are daily held, at
tended not only by the entire population
Of the town, but by farmers for many
miles around, and the interest seems to be
rapidly increasing amOng all classes.
About 30 conversions nave been made
during the past four days, among them
being the most prominent aud wealthy
citizens Of the place, men taking an ac-
tive part in the meeting who had not be.
fore been IN place of worship for years.
The eXcitementis is taking a strong ten
den0y toward antagOnism OF the LIQUOR
traffic heretofore carried on in the town,
and il is the present object Of the leaders
OF the revival to root out the saloons for
ever. To this end hundreds OF dollars are
being contributed and to-day the saloon
OF George Wrigett was bought out bv the
reyivalsts and all the liquors poured into
the cutters amid singing and general re-
iOicing. Tonight the cause has received
a fresh impetus, aud it is proposed to-
morrow TO buy out the remaining five sa-
looms in like manner and pour out the
stock Of ale, beer, wine and whisky upon
toe frozen and thirsty ground.
Miss Sherman and her co workers say
that after finishing the work so well under
way IN Cameron, she will visit the other
towns along the Baltimore and Ohio road
between WReeling and Cumberland, and
promises to create religious enthusiasm
such as has never before been witnessed
in any locality. Miss sherman is a
brunette OF medium height with a cast Of
cOuutenance impressing one as indicative
Of great intellectual force and vigor OF
mind. She was for some time the com
panion Of Jennie Smith, the celebrated
railroad revivalist, and partakes Of many
Of the characteristics OF that well-known
religious worker.
Another revival of almost equal extent
and results is in progress in the town of
Belmont, where the whole population is
greatly excited, forsaking their usual
avOcations TO attend upon the services.
Business Is almost entirely suspended.

SENATOR sHEkMANs SCHEME
Why the Senate Delays Confirming Ap-
pOIntments When Republicans are
Interested.
From the Neto York World.

From the NciO York World.
COLUMBUS, Feb. "a letter from Sena-
tor Sherman to Pension Agent Leman,
whom the President nominated 10 a re-
spousible office some two months ago,
and who has not been confirmed, will
probably serve as key TO the problem OF
the Senate's delay in acting upon Presi-
Dental nominations, especially in cases
where the terms of Republicans have ex-
pired, and may lead TO the unearthing of
| u remarkable political conspiracy.
The recipient Of the letter was appoint
ed to succeed an inefficient Republican
in a very responsible Office which had
| been badly administered. There was no
! sort OF opposition 20 him, Repu blicans
and Democrats alike rejoicing at the pros
pective change. Weeks and months
elapsed and the Senate took no action on
the nomination, and inquiries were insti.
| tuted. Tnen came Sherman's remarkable
letter 10 the appOiniee himself, ia which
he stated that no objections were known
TO bis confirmation, but tnut the opinion
prevailed in one Of the senate committees
that II be were confirmed and took office
| he would make 4 clean sweep Of the Off
eials under him, some 80 IN number, VINO
were not protected OV ibs civil service
rules, and put Democrats ~ their places.
That tfat delayed the continuation, and
would continue 10 DO 50 until the impre-
/ sion was removed.
The intlmation is as broad as possible
that satisfactory guaranty that the Re-
publican subOrdinates should be retained
would insure speedy confirmation. Tue
| foremost Republican statesman IN OHIO,
| TO whom this letter was shown, stood
aghast at the thinly masked proposition IL
contained. and said IL was the most re-
markable he had ever seen coming from a
man in high position, declaring that there
was no moral difference betw cen IL and a
blacknailer or highway robbery.
Senator sherman will hardly deny writ
! ing the letter and his explanation will no
doubt be interesting. In the meantime
the Republican official, whose time has
expired. aud his subordinates are drawing
some 81, 900 monthly, while Republicans
and Democrats alike are desirous OF a
change in the office.

The appointment of Mr.. Broadhurst as
Under Home Secretary has caused SEN
sation in political circles. That gentle
man being the first working man that mas
ever risen 10 a ministry appointment, u is
taken as an indication that IL is Mr..
GladstOne's intention to rely upon the
masses against the influence OF the aris-
tocracy. The Liberal clubs are divided
in opiniOn on the subject, the Re
form and Devonshire disappearing
the appointment, and the National
Liberal enthusiastically approving it. The
hostility Of the Wings TO Mr.. Gladstone
is intense. This is shown In the difficulty
experienced by the Premier in filling the
Peeress' post in the Queens household.
The Duchess OF Westminster and the
Duchess OF Bedford refused appointments
and others will follow their example.
