About his Brother

several years ago my brother, who livas

vus .s IN his leg--about half way between
dnve tno o dy and the knee--which afterwards

upon him, the air In the room where he

OF any prominence In the State was con-
suited, and treated my brother without

THE DUTIES OF LIFE.
Whatever They May BE. They Should Be
Cheerfully Performed.

Whatever They May BE. They Should Be
Cheerfuiiy Performed.
Every life has It's purposes for being.
That these are not always fulfilled, only
argues the blindness and recreancy Of the
one who Is content TO exist, not live, In the
best sense Of the term. Not plant that
springs from the bosom Of the earth but
fulflls some part In the design OF creation;
and since this rule applies TO the most insig.
nificant OF earth's objects, with what reason
or sense can man hope to evade the uni
yersal responsibility To merely exist Is
not TO live; IL is 10 caricature and belittle
the very name OF life. To live Is 10 be q liv-
ing, active force in the worlds destiny, and
whether one be great or humble factor IN
what his time accomplishes, q factor he
must be, II he would not travesty the very
idea of living. All men are not endowed
with equal faculties; all can not be flaming
lights OF honor upon the worlds highway;
each can, within the limitations which the
Creator has imposed, contribute TO the IL
iumining OF the road. The tallow dip per-
forms It's allotted part as thoroughly as does
the lighthouse; either one could not be sub
stitut6d for the other, and II tho headland
beacon attracts moro attention than does
tho feebe taper, IL but fulhlls is mission,
which the Other. does equally well. All can
not cbe beacons !; ull need not DO humble
tapers !, but whether fitted for beacon or
taper, there a. q part 70 lbeG performed By
eech life, and the fact iof real living or %
merely dailying out an existence is deter

BUTLER, Pa, Dec. 22.-The little
town of Petrolia, fifteen miles north of
here, once the scene of the liveliest oil
happenings in the country, was desc
lated by fire which started at 8 o'clock
this morning, and ragged fiercely, h elped
by high wind, until the entire buSi-
ness portion of the town was destroyed,
blow from which the place will doubt
less never recover, ana its 700 inhabi-
tants will seek new place to live in
some other oil town. The fire origin
ated in Klingensmith's store, and swept
up Main street, consuming the frame
buildings on both sides of and reaching
back to the side streets, making clean
sweep of ruin among the stores, dwell
ings and hotels. The town has a fire de-
partment, which responded prom pity,
but the water pipes clOgged up and
refused to do their service, and the
flames had it all their own way until
they died out for want of something to
burn. The buildings were all frame
affairs, two stories. the lower floors used
for business. while the upper were used
for dwellings, and of the whole busi-
ness community there are now LETT but
two stores, a bank and hotel. Owing to
the infammable material in the build
ings the rate of insurance is high. aud
the owners in but an instance or two
had any insurance. SO that the loss,
which will reach between $4,000 and
100000, is total one, and the majority
of the sufferers lose their all. No lives
were lost. nor any inj ured reported.
Among the forty or more buildings de-
stroyed were the Episcopal church, post
Office. Western Uniou and National
Transit telegraph offices and the Oil ex-
change.

TERRIBLE SUFFERING.
Po-r Overseers Charged With
Neglect of Duty.

INDIANA, Pa, Dec. 22.-At the trial,
Just ended, of Washington Butler and
P. NJ. Hodge, overseers of the poor,
charged with neglecting their duty, a
terrible story was told by witnesses
under oath. Five years ago Edward
Wisherman became sick and was re-
moved to home owned by his wife in
Burrell township. His father-in-law
was also quartered in the same place.
Both men, being unable to work, were
allowed S3 per week by the OverseerS.
In 1887 the fatheT-in-law died and the
allowance for the family was reduced to
s.. 60 per week. In the meantime Wish
erman's body became a mass of corrup-
ton, with running sores, and he was
unable to do any kind of work. The
allowance was reduced to $l.25 per
week for five of a family,
another child having arrived. The
clOthing was of the Scantiest, the
neighbors testifYing that they were
ashamed to look at Mrs. Wisherman on
account of the scarcity of her apparel,
which was the same winter and sum-
mer. Fuel was so scarce in the winter
that logs were used by resting one end
on chair, with the other end In the
fire. At the time the children were
without shoes. The food consisted of
cornmeaI one week and -four the next,
with some rice and tea. All five had to
sleep in one bed to keep warm. While
Mr.. Butter was overseer, Mrs. Wisher-
man was confined twice, and in neither
case did she have medical aid, and none
at all except that Of her husband. Mrs.
Wisherman had to go two miles to get
her cornmeal and flour and carry it
home. On one of these trips she gave
birth to still-born child and carried it
by an overseer, but Mrs. Wisherman re-
ceived no medical attention. The de-
fense claimed that no order of relief had
been taken out before two justices in
Wisherman's behalf, and consequently
the paupers were not legally on the

RIOT IN MISSISSIPPI,
In Which Many People Are
Wounded.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 22.-Meager reports
came in late last night that riot was in
progress at Potts Camp. MI S., station
of the Kansas City, Memphis & Bir-
nlingham road. sixly-fye miles from
Memphis. The trouble was precipltated
by fight between a white man and a
negro, in which the latter was Worsted.
He went out from town, collected a
party of friends and returned to clean
out the victOrs. The whites rallied. and
fighting ensued all around, in which
half dozen people were wounded, but
none were killed. Latest advices were
that everybody was in arms, and fur
ther trouble is expected.
LATER-Advices this evening state
that three of the negroes were arrested
and jailed. About IL O'Clock an unsuc-
cessful attempt was made to release the
prisoners by blacks, when riot en-
sued, and two negroeS-TOm McGhee
and Henry Starks-were fatally and an
other negro seriously shot. Rumors
are af1oat of squads of negroes collect
ing in the country, but they lack con-
firmati on.

STABBED TO DEATH.
Fatal Result of a Quarrel Over a
NOInan,

" oman.
PENSACOLA, Fla, Dec. pa terri
BILE tragedy was enacted here at noon
yesterday. j. NJ. Thompson and j. t.
Carter, both prominent citizens. en-
gagged in a fight in the street, in
which Carter was stabbed and killed.
The story of the crime concerns Mrs.
Thompson, who was the divorced wife
of Carter. She was married to him
some eight years ago, and is the
daughter of w. l.. Thorpe. wealthy
lumber merchant, and is an accomplished
woman. Carter failed TO properly pro-
vide for her support and she procured a
divorce from him. Less than year ago
she married Thompson, a leading
grocer of this city. Since then Carter
has repeatedly insulted her. A few
minutes after noon yesterday, while
Thompson and his wife were engaged
in conversation on the street, Carter
passed, applying to Mrs. Thompson. as
he brushed by her, a very Objectionable
epithet, which her husband resented.
The two men clinched, Carter falling on
top. As Mrs. Thompson stopped to sep
arate them stream of blood from a
wound in the neck of her former huS-
band spurted into her face. Thompson
had severed Carter's jugular vein. and
stabbed him once through the right
lung, and inflicted several other ugly
wounds in different parts of his body.
ALI the parties to the terrible tragedy
are highly connected, and, though it
was thought that the affair would cul-
inmate just as it has, it is very much re-
gretted on all sides. Public sentiment.
however, is very strongly with Thomp'
son. who is under arrest.

early part of the coming week a fun
complement of clubs will be secured.
President Ketcham and Manager Nor
ton left this afternoon for Toledo for a

Columbus. Toledo and Louisville. From
the East comes word tonight that Billy
Barnie and Treasurer Whitaker, of the
Athletics, had a conference to-day, and
made arrangements for Baltimore TO
take another one of the Eastern Vacan-
cies. With Baltimore in, it is prob
able that Newark, n. j., will be adj
mitted. and negotiations to that end are
now well under way. The Eastern cir
cult then would be Philadelphia.
Rochester, Baltimore and Newark.
ROCHESTER, n. L., Dec. 2.-Gen
Henry Brinker, of the Rochester bass
bali club. in au interview stated that he
had determined to buy the franchise
