The death of Mrs. Strother Pangle,
who was killed by lightning at heT
residence in Shenandoah county, some
days ago was peculiarly sad. OF a
cheerful and amiable disposition, the
unfortunate lady went into the yard
(the storm having passed over)making
some pleasant remark-to her husband
at the time, when she was struck by
Lightning and died almost instantly.
She was well known in this county,
and leaves husband and six chill

A recent edition of the New York
Volhs-Zeitung paids it's respects to
Gen. Harrison in vigorous language.

besides being rampant protection

ate, was strong champion of the
Pacific Railroad monopoly and de-
fender of the big corporations with

A very close and interesting game
of base ball was played at Fort Wads-
worth between two mines representing
G. b. Rouss and l. Kaufman & Co.
After severe tussle the former won
by to 3, young Mr.. Kaufman, as
captain and all around, did fine work.
MIR. Rouss, although a much older
man and not a participant of the game
was every bit as enthusiastic. After
the game Mr.. Rouss took all hands,
seventy-six in all, to HieI's Hotel,
where refreshments were served !;
afterward he extended an invitation
to both victors and vanquished to ac-
company him to the Wild West show.

The New York daily papers are al
most a unit in support of Cleveland
and Thurman. The list includes the
Sun, Star and World, Democrat the
Times and Commercial 1dUertiser,

The only papers of prominence in
New York supporting the Republican
ticket are the Tribune, Press and
Mail and Egpress. Perhaps there
never was a greater preponderance of
New York newspaper support given
a presidential candidate than is now
accorded to Mr.. Cleveland.

lady of Sc years. Though she had
removed from the gate-house on the
Baltimore turnpike, on which porch
he had been placed on the evening of
July 3, 1868, his first battle, in an
apparently dying condition, he dill
gently inquired after her and at last
succeeded in finding her and receiv-
ing a welcome as warm as a mother s
from the lady, whom he firmly be-
lieves nursed him back to life. AS
