On Saturday night 80 yeung ladies at
Burchtel College, at Akron, celebrated
the birthday of the members of the '93
class, whose birthdays came between
September and January, in society hall,
on the fourth floor of the college building.
They were costumed in cotton batting
suits, with high hats of the same materi-
al. During these festivities the hat of
one of the young ladies caught fire from
the gas jet. ard the sparks from it fired
her dress. A number of the young la
dies ran to her rescue,a and their clothing
also took fire. Within a few seconds
the fire was communicated to 20 of the
girls, who ran screaming through the
upper hall, setting fire to carpets and
tapestry. The greatest confusion reign
ed, and before the fire could be extin-
guished eight of the girls were terribly
burned. Two of the girls have already
died, and two others are likely to, while
several them will be dreadfully SCARED
for life.

THE Chicago Times collected opinions
last week from newspapers in most large
cities and towns of the country as to the
candidates of the two principal parties
in the next Presidential election, and the
opinions of most Republican and Demo-

candidate of the Republicans and Cleve
land of the Democrats, while most of
the Democratic thought Cleveland would
be the candidate of the Democrats and
all of them that Blaine would be of the
Republicans.

THE best medical writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal cataFrh
must be non-irritating, easy of applica-
ton, and one that will reach all the re-
mote sores and liberated surfaces. The
history of the efforts to treat catarrh dur
ing the past obliges us to admit that only
one remedy has met these conditions, and
that is Ely's Cream Balm; this pleasant
remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing
else has ever done, and both physicians
and parents freely concede this fact; the
more distressing symptoms yield to it. 1872

SITTING BULL, the famous chief of
the Sioux, and the leader in the Custer
massacre, was killed last week by Indian
police, who had been sent out to arrest
him at his camp. 1t had been reported
that he was about to join the hostiles in
their pillaging raid along the White Riv
er. The officers surprised his camp at
daybreak by bold dash. Sitting Bull
was arrested, and his followers attempt
ed to rescue him, when fight ensued,
in which Sitting Bull and his son Crow
Foot and six other Indians were killed.
Four policemen were killed. This iend-
ish red devil merited death years ago.
He has been the leader of the vicious
element of his tribe, and has probably
done more to breed discomfort than any
other red skin. The brave action of the
Indian police deserves commendation.

THERE are people whose brains are
plethoric with measures which they
conceive should be enacted into law.
The fact is there are too many laws now
and too much law making Instead of
statesmen who will exhaust their powers
in breaking the record to secure new
laws, we need statesmen whose chief
renown will be that they obtained the
repeal of useless and worse than useless
laws, now upon our statute books.

CURRENT TOPICS.

INDICATIONS are that the Elections
Bill will be delayed in the Senate, and
possibly ultimately lost. This condi-
ton is brought about by combination
of Republican Senators who are inter
ested in silver legislation with the Dem
ocrats of the Senate.
There has been some difference of
opinion among Republicans as to this
measure, but the discussion of the mat
ter during the recess of Congress, and
especially the defiant attitude of Missis
sippi Democrats on the suffrage, has
strengthened it very materially. Right
thinking men can not much longer sub
NIT to having men counted in the basis
for representation, but denied voice at
the polls. That is what is being done
all through the South. If there is a
class of men who can not freely vote their
sentiments, they should not be counted
in the basis of representation. Surely,
no fair minded man will deny that prop
osition.
A great deal of buncombe is being in
dulged in by opponents of the measure.
1t is called "Force Bill" and all that
kind of thing. The suffrage is the most
valuable right possessed by an American.
1t is worth more to him than gold
and silver, or houses and lands
Why should it not be carefully guard
ed? That is what this bill under
takes to do. Here in Ohio a few years
ago registry law was enacted. Many
unthinking men complained of it be-
cause it put them to the trouble of reg
istering a month or so before election,
and legislators unwisely listened to the
clamor and repealed it. The stability of
our government depends upon the in
tegrity of its voters and fair count of
their votes, and the individual who finds
fault with any reasonable safeguard
thrown around these by the law is not
worthy of citizenship.
The only justification for the sup
preston of the colored vote of the South
ever offered that Is worth considering
for a moment is the statement that ad-
yenturers availed themselves of that
vote to obtain power that would enable
them to rob property-holders by taxa
ton. Grant that that has been done,
and may be done, voters of the balance
of the country can not agree that there
fore, 1000 to 10000 voters shall elect a
Congressman and count one in the
Electoral College, while from 10000 to
$4,000 are required in each district of
the North. Only in their domestic af-
fairs can they be wronged by taxation,
and if it is clear that the colored vote
can be used to that end let them remedy
that, but they should not control the
House of Representatives by having
voters counted in the basis of represent
alton whom they will not permit to vote.
This is not in accord with Republican
form of government.

THAT was great sermon preached
by Rev. DR.; Hingeley, in the NJ. E.
church, on Sunday morning, and so well
delivered that every individual in the
assembly listened to it eagerly. Its log
ic was mastery. The text was from the
XXIVth Chapter of Luke, part of
verse AZ: "Reginning at Jerusalem" !"
That Christ lived and taught and died
and ascended, said he, is as well estab-
lished an historical fact as that Wash
ington lived. His parting injunction
that his disciples should preach the Cos
pei in all lands and to all people, "be-
ginning at Jerusalem, the scene of his la
bors and death, rather than in distant
lands, is evidence of the truth of Christi
anity. His tender solicitude for those who
had derided and Knocked Him,is evidence
of the Divine spirit of the master, and
was described in manner calculated to
reach every heart in the assemblage.
And thus followed the application: Be
gin your religious labors at home. Teach
your children, instiIl religion into your
husband or wife, into your brother or
your sister.
DR.. Hingeley is master of elocution,
has splendid voice, is always original
and interesting, and it is real treat to
listen to him. Rarely has any congrega-
ton been favored with two such preach
ers in succession as Drs. Hollinghead
and Hingeley.

THE Baltimore and Ohlo's winter
schedule for the St. Clairsville Division
is the most unsatisfactory ever arranged,
or that could be arranged, for that mat
ter. Passengers and mails can not get
to town until after II o'clock, noon.
Arrangements are now perfected by the
post office authorities to have the pouch
es for st. Clairsville, from the morning
eastbound trains on the main line sent
up from Bellaire on the Cleveland, Lo-
rain and Wheeling train. Passengers
from the West are also coming that way.
Those who come down on the Accom-
mediation are compelled to wait at the
Junction until the arrival of the Pitts
burgh and Cincinnati Express, from the
East, as do those who go down from
town in the early morning destined for
the West.
The reason given is scarcity of en-
gines, and that the one used to pull the
st. Clairsville train is needed to do
shifting at the mines, near the Junction.
