Too Much Hot Water.

A singular occurrence is reported
from Wyoming Territory. Yet Sing,
a Chinaman, had established a wash
house in tent directly over boiling
spring in Canyon City, near the
Yellowstone Park. He had hot wa
ter constantly and was doing a good
business in the new mining town.
He and three Mongolians who came
from neighboring camps devoted
Wednesday to the celebration of the
Chinese New Year They burned
firecrackers and offerings to Joss and
wound up by getting drunk. Yet
Sing had been cautioned about the
boiling spring, and told that il might
be slumbering geyser. For this
reason his wash tubs were kept on
the other side Of the tent so that no
soap might disturb the quiet OF the
boiling water. No one knows just
how Yet Sings. box Of laundry soap
got overturned into the boiling
spring. 1t is more than probable
that some mischievous miner emptied
it into the Numbering geyser. But
about o'clock at night there was
sudden spouting of boiling water,
tent fiying through the air and some
piercing yells. The miners rushed up
and found the geyser pouring. water
to a height of over a hundred feet.
The bodies of the four Cinnamon
scalded to death were found later at
some distance from the scene. The
geyser spouted for three hours and
then subsidized.

A Fatal Accident.

| FQtuI HCCJucEfs
From the Mountain Echo, published
ut Angels, California, we get the foi'
lowing particulars Of the sad death oil
DIR. ]. E. Seymour Baker, native oil
Sharpsburg, Md. and a graduate OF
Shepherd College, in this place: on
Wednesday evening. January 80 Dr.
Baker and his brother, j. j. Baker
were out driving in a buggy, and
while passing a house on the road sew
eral dogs ran out barking at the team
The Doctor was driving, and having
on former occasions been troubled by
the same dogs, drew his revolver and
shot at them. After having fired he
remarked to his brother, Il missed
them Another shot was discharged
and the Doctor said to his brother, Il
have shot myself" The brother
heard the second shot, but it being
dusk at the time, thought the Doctor
had fired at the dogs again, and was
greatly Mortified to learn that he had,
instead. shot himself, and at once i'll
ouired if he could do anything for
him, not knowing the Doctor was NOR
tally wounded The unfortunate
man made no response, but in few
seconds after, he said, Brother, L feel
like fainting," and laying his head
upon his brothers shoulder died with
out struggle His brother thought
that he had tainted, and then took
the reins from the Doctors left hand,
and the pistol from the other hand,
and drove rapidly to town. Upon ar
irving in front of Scribners store, he
called DR.. j. r. Dorroh, who was in
the store, and after telling him what
had happened, DIR. Dorroh examined
deceased and pronounced him dead.
The body was then lifted from the
buggy and conveyed to the Office OF
deceased, adjoining Scribner's store.
Upon ali examination by Drs. Kelly
and Dorroh, it was found that the ball
had entered the body about six inches
to the right of the naval, ranging
downward and severing large arte-
ry, causing internal hemorrhage and
almost instant death. An inquest was
held by Coroner VIM. A. Kelly, and
the above facts elected. 1t is not
known how the accident really oc-
Cured as it was quite dark at the
time, but it is generally believed that
deceased was attempting to return
the pistol to his pocket when it was
discharged, resulting as above stated.
DR.. Baker was very well known
in this place, and had many friends
here. He was a cousin of Messrs. Nj.
b., Allen H. and Henry s. Baker His
remains were inferred in Angels, on
the Friday after his death, with Ma
sonic honors.

on Wednesday evening of last week.
Profuse decorations Of evergreens,

lights illuminated it, Every available
space was occupied long before the
time set A ribbon was drawn across
the middle of the church, inside of
which sat relatives and all the young

eight ushers, Messrs. Charles and

bride, Hankle and Ried, of Norfolk,

An Early Morning Fire.


Last Saturday morning little while
before daylight an alarm of fire was
given in this place. The old stone
warehouse on the river bank, owned
by the Shepherd estate and recently
used as mattress factory by Mr.. Z.
L.. Powell was on fire. 1t had evil
IDENTIFY been burning for some time,
for when first noticed the whole inside
of the building was fiery furnace.
The engine was soon at work pump
ing the Potomac river on to the fire,
but it was too late to do much good,
as the structure was really burned
out when discovered. The building
was insured for 81 900 in the Franklin
Insurance Company of Wheeling, b.
F. Harrison, agent Mr.. Powell lost
considerable amount Of shucks.
some other stock used in mattress
making, q couple Of sewing machines,
&C. He had been insured, but wheth-
er the policy was renewed or not we
don't know.
1t is supposed the fire was of incen-
diary origin, as there had been no one
employed at the building for day or
two previous. A few persons think
spontaneous combustion may have
started the fire.
The building destroyed was an old
landmark in Shepherdstown. 1t was
built many years ago by VIM. Shorts,
and was the scene of very active bus
mess, both wholesale and retail, in
the days when the canal was great
water way and Georgetown a com
mercial centre. The building was
very substantially built of stone, and
was rooted with states imported from
England.

For months past crows to the num-
Der of from one million to three mill
ion have swarmed in the eastern end
of Douglass county, ILL.,, feeding IN
the fields in daytime and collecting at
night. About dusk these birds gather
in from the surrounding country in
myriads, and the noise they ma Ike is
deafening. Frequently they alight in
such vast numbers on the trees that
large limbs are broken under their
weight. One day last week black
cloud OF these birds was crossing the
railroad track, when the smoke from
the engine blinded them. They flew
against the side of the swiftly moving
cars and persons who watched the
strange sight counted nearly two hun
dred dead crows

Lono Time Finding 1t Out

The report is in general circulation
that Miss Leila Payne, living near
Rest, this county, and Miss ---,
have been united in marriage. Leila
is well-known in Winchester, and has
always passed for woman. We have
often heard of women getting married
and then wearing the breeches, !"
and we presume it will be literally
true in this case. We congratulate
Miss Payne in becoming a man,
though somewhat late in life. 1t will
be remembered that her sister, Bette
Payne, several years ago underwent
a transformation, got married, and
acted as any other man, having his
name changed to one Of masculine
