Mr.. D. G.. Kalb of the Rochester (Illi-

with Mr.. G. J. Fritts near town, and has
favored us with visit or two. Fifty years
ago this now venerable gentleman taught
school and married in Shepherdstown. He
and two sons served in the late war, on the
Union side. One Of the sons was killed,
and the other is now the able editor of the
Item. Mr.. Kalb is a very interesting talk
er-his "reminiscences of the war exceeding
ly entertaining and would fill volume /;
and as he is and has been a very obseryant
man, and has ayaied himself of many and
even rare opportunities, and is q ready wri-
ter. we have no doubt a very readable
book will be produced by him-though he
is now 76 years of age. He informed us that
he witnessed the laying Of the first and last
stones of the Washington Monument at
Washington City, and that ne is the only
man now living who was present on both
occasions. He was a delegate from Illinois
to the great Methodist Christmas Council in
Baltimore several years ago, and is now on
his way to Washington TO attend upon the
sessions of the Ecumenical Council which
convenes there in October.

Chinawoman called his attention to
cellar and said that man had hung him
self inside The officer lighted a lamp
and discovered the body of Chinaman
hanging near an inner door in the cellar.
An examination revealed the fact that the
deceased was Yep Que, the old blind
Chinalnan who has been seen frequently
on the streets. guiding himself with the
assistance of a wooden staff.
One end of the rope was fastened to
beam over the door and the other was en-
circled around his neck and tied in the
form OF slip-knot. A water-bucket lay
overturned close to his feet. His knees
We're bent and both feet touched the
ground.
Coroner Clark was notified and took
charge of the remains.
There is some doubt as to whether the
act was committed by the deceased un-
assisted. He was totally blind, and those
who saw the premises and the way in
which the Chinaman was hanging say
that the theory of suicide does not appear
credible, although it might have been
possible. The beam to which the rope
was fastened had been nailed there re-
Gently from appearances, and it would
have been difficult for blind person to
have located it without assistance.
