LIVES LOST in A DELUXE.

WHEELING, W. VA, July ia
teartul storm swept over this vicini.
ty tonight. The full measure of the
calamity will not be known tonight,
but it is certain that not less than
twenty, five lives have been lost. The
storm had threatened all the after
noon. At six O'Clock the storm burst
in the northwest, and for the ensu.
ing two hours rain fell as it never
fell before in Wheeling. There was
the greatest anxiety as to the fate OF
the people living in the various mar.
row valleys throughout the interior
of the county. Hardly had the rain
ceased at seven o'clock before the
waters of Cold Wells Run began to
rise with fearful rapidity. At six
O'Clock it was % babbling brook,
which a child could ford at any point.
At seven o'clock it was q raging tor.

dred feet wide, and as it entered
the city limits swept throughsa hun.

Half dozen families were carried
away; among them Thomas Hawley
and Mrs. Herman Stensel. There
were in the Hawley residence Mrs.
Hawley and her four chlldreh-t three
boys and one girl. All were swept
away with the house and. were
drowned. At the Stensel home
there were more-Mr. Stensel, the
mother. a son, a daughter, and
two neices, the Misses Alice and
Annie Wingard, of Miltopsburg,
Ohio, who were visiting at the home.
All these were likewise lost, as well
as John Homan, a young man who
was opposite the house on horse.

about eight o'clock a large crowd
gathered on the Market street stone
bridge and on the wooden B. & q.
Railroad bridge near by to watch
the seething food in the creek. At
half past nine the bridge suddenly
sank into the water, taking about
fifteen people with it. 1t is impossi.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
3 nWAsH1NaroN. JULY 16. 1s8.

EGWASHINGTON,J JULY 10, 1883.
Senator Edmunds has introduced
a bill, which il passed, will be of
great benefit to the Government, to
say nothing OF the thousands Of dol.
lars twill save for Uncle Sam. II
provides for the establishment of a
Council Of Ordnance, TO consist of
three officers from the Army, three
officers from the Navy, and three
civilians. The duty OF this council
shall be to conduct examinations in.
to all such questions relating to the
| fabrication and use Of ordnance, bro.
iectiles, and explosives. as may be
referred to it by, Congress or the
War or Navy department. No
money shall be spent by any depart
men., until this council shall have
Examined and reported on the FEAST
bility OF the methods proposed to be
adopted. In view of the fact that
lduring the-nextten-y years this Gov.
eminent will in all probability spend
millions Of dollars for ordnance, this
bill is. particularly apropos.r
Quite a number or the republican
Senators are opposed to the Senate
remaining 10 session long enough to
pass tariff bill as a substitute for
| the Mills bill. They say that when
the Mills bill is received By the Sen.
ate, all that will be necessary will be
to formulate a substitute therefor,
report it, place it on the calendar,
and there let it remain until the
next session. They argue that this
substitute, as soon as reported, will
| go before the country as the, repub-
llican tariff bill, and that it will have
lust as much effect as ifthey remain
led here to formally pass it.

1t is claimed that Congressman
Wilson will have no opposition as a
candidate for another term. So the
convention is set up for him already;
but there may be a slip when that
cup is nearest the lip; for Mr.. Will

free trader,-for free wool, free

Ii that is what the Second District

Their Business BOOMING.

Probably no one thing has caused such
q general revival of trade at e, C. Will
liams, Jr., & Bro, 3 Drug Store as their
giving away to their customers of 80 many
free trial bottles Of DR.. Kings New Dis
coyeTy for Consumption. Their trade is
simply enormous in this very valuable
article from the fact that it always cures
and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds.
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group. and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by getting
. trial bottle free, large size 81. Every
bottle warranted. Trial bottles 10 cents.

1t would be better in the end for
all men taking part in discussing
politics this campaign, to avoid
sharp and bitter expressions that
are not easily overlooked or forgot
ten, and which convince nobody and
do nobody any good. There is plen-
ty of strong argument in the record
Of both parties, where they stand,
what they have done by experience,
and what they will do from the
stand point Of their representatives
in the legislative halls of the state
and nation. The intelligence of the
country is becoming too general for
any party or any paper to impose
upon it by falsehood; and when we see
statements that nobody believes we
feel that those who have made them
have no high regard for their own
spirit OF truth and fairness, nor any
respect for their hearers or readers
standard of intelligence. What we
want in this county is not passion.
ate appeal to prejudice, but quiet
reasoning of our mutual interests as
fellow citizens. Issues and princi-
plies are at stake, not party and petty
Office. Good men and good meas.
ures will help people of all parties;
where party itself does nobody much
good except the few who hold the
offices. No ticket can succeed in
this county and state that does not
represent the interests of the whole
people, and that is not represented
by the BEST MEN of the county
and state rather than of the party.
We appeal to the candid Judgment
of every voter upon the merits of
the issues before the country. The
national standard bearers are all
right but free trade and protection
cannot both be right. We appeal
to the parties in this state for repre-
sentative men of mind and measure,
and not giant politicians or dwarf
statesmen, to lead the cause of
more popular government and a
more prosperous state of business
and better development OF our indus
tries. ...

Importance as a study, which need

then took the floor upon the subject,
-" The Temperature of the School
Room.n GAS most school rooms are
arranged the thermometer should be
about three feet from the floor, in
front of the teachers desk. The
ventilation should be good. The
window sash should be raised upon
its edge lengthwise along the sash.
The board should be about ten inches
wide. This gives ventilation without
a draught.n d He then gave some in
teresting accounts and statements in
regard to the early history Of our
state. Major Lee took up the subject
of " Supplementary Reading" "The
pupils will become tired of the same
stories over and over again. The
only way to break up monotonous
reading, is TO introduce supplements
tary and Sight reading. We are never
good readers until we can read piece
we have never SEEM" An ordinary
country school can be supplied with
supplementary reading for about a
dollar. It is not best to tell pupils
that you are trying to persuade them
to read good literature. If the bent is
once taken they will never go back to
trashy literature" Major Lee made
q practical test Of sight reading, by
beguiling two of the teachers into at
tempting to read selection, into
which some one had apparently spent
some time in gathering all the words
of the language of doubtful and diff
cult pronunciation. He. offered an
