rHE CHAmBEE OF CoMMERoE.
To-Nlght's Meeting to Endorse the Pom
peiian Fete should be Large One.

To-NIght's Meeting to Endorse the Pom
peiian Fete should be a Large One.
Tonight it is proposed to mold big
meeting Of the Chamber of Commerce,
to formally endorse the project OF
bringing the Pompeiian Fete here for
three weeks, commencing July LIST, and
it is important that there should be
large attendance of the wide-awake
business men OF the city. The project
commends itself as great means OF
advertising the city throughout all the
country within one hundred or more
miles, and it will be the means OF
bringing many thousand people here,
who will leave a great many thousand
dollars behind them. The gentlemen
at the head Of the matter have
decided to go ahead If the Cham
Der will lend it's moral support, and that
there may be no difficulty or doubt
about this, every business man should
arrange TO spare an hour this evening
or half an hour, If there is prompt
attendance of members, to do the little
thing now necessary TO make the big
exhibition success. The Chamber is
not asked to subscribe money, nor yet
to guarantee anything, but is simply
asked to support the project by an APP
propriAte resolution. This done, the
gentlemen, standing upon the founda-
ton Of subscriptions already made, and
those which are confidently expected
from various sources, will assume what
ever risk there may be attached to the
matter, and will wire Mr.. Pains repre-
sentative that Wheeling has made up
her mind to have the big show.

FOUR COLORED PUGS
WHO WERE ENGAGED IN A SUNDAY MORN.
ING SCRAP,
For the Edifcaton Of Lot Of White Men, Sur
prissd by the Polics-Escapsd from Marshall
County Jail-A Small Robbery.

A number of sportively-inclined East
Wheeling men, who maintain q sort OF
club house in that portion OF the city,
had arranged for couple Of fistic en-
counters late Saturday night, between
members of quartette OF Pittsburg
coIored men. Being informed that the
encounters were scheduled to come on
about midnight or later, the police de-
termined to put stop to 1t, and about
midnight Officers Wilkie, O'Brien, Seal
Iy and Daum went out to the place.
Although it was Sunday morning the
festivities were in full force, and the
police instituted raid which resulted
in the capture of Edward Bowers and
G. w. Sinke, two of the four colored
pugilists. Bowers was stripped to the
buff when the police made their appear
ance, and was at it, hammer and tongs,
with another colored artist. while
Sinke was acting as second or bottle
holder.
The way the crowd Of white men who
were gathered at the place fled when
the police arrived was caution. They
literally fell over each other in their
anxiety to escape arrest, and one man
jumped from window about twenty
feet from the ground, and hurt himself
quite badly about the back.
On their way back TO the City Hall
from the raid, the police saw strange
colored man, and believing he was also
one of the pugilists, who escaped, he
was arrested. He gave his name as
Joseph Coleman, and his residence as
Pittsburg. He was taken to the City
Hall and locked up. About half-past
three o'clock yesterday afternoon Cole
man made an excuse TO be allowed out
of his cell, and watching his chance he
made his escape from Assistant Lock
up Keeper Wilkie, and disappeared out
of the door. Up to late hour last
night he had not been re-arrested, and
has probably left town.

Information reached the city yester-
day Of the escape of three prisoners
from the Moundsville jail. 1t appears
that the deputy sheriff in charge
stepped out to go TO the court house,
about eleven o'clock. Some person on
the outside finding the door unlocked,
walked In, secured possession OF the
keys, and unlocked the cell doors OF
three prlsoners-Charles Gately. OF Ben
wood, and two colored men-whose
names could not be learned. There were
other prisionersin Jail, but it is reported
that they were not released. The three

 There surely can be no sadder fate to contemplate than that of a man who has failed, as it were, through his sue cess, who, struggling long for golden fruit. finds at last only the apples of Sodom. and who, straining every nerve for the supposed means of happiness, is at length oppressed with an ovcrwhelm- ing sense of unbelievable and perpetual misery. The Washington Post thinks this story from London has m 'ral for all our energetic, ambitious and push ing business men in all departments. In affairs as well as in dissipation there is the pace that kills. Worst of all re- suits is living body with dead mind. The picture of a millionaire in fact, though a pauper in reality, is fitted to be a saddening and impressive object lesson.

was unable to find proof anywhere. As the deceased had been on kindly terms with the Russian ambassador she had recourse to him, who, being well aware what assistance Swedenborg had af- forded in such cases, promised the widow that he would talk over her case with him.
 Some days after Swedenborg came to the ambassador and bade him tell the widow that on a certain night her hus- band would appear to her and give di- rect information where the receipt was secreted. This was awful to contcm- plate, but, as impending ruin stared her in the face, she determined to sit up on the night in question, keeping her maid. however, with her But the latter fell into a deep sleep, and all cf- forts of the widow were unavailing to keep her awake.

Expectations Among Savage Tribes Re-
 garding These Reptiles.
 The African cobra is regarded some what reverently by the natives of that country, who once year kill cobra de capello and hang its skin to the branch of tree tail downward. Then all the children born during the last year are brought out and made to touch the skin. This, their parents think, puts them under the serpents protec- tion.
 The cobra de capello divides with the horned viper of Africa the questionable honor of being the "worm of the Nile" to whose vcnomous tooth Cleopatra's death was due, says St. Nicholas.
 The Kaflirs use the venom of this snakes cousin, the puff adder, to poi son their arrows, and when they have any small quantity left they swallow it, having theory that it will protect them from the effects of future bites.
 The snake tribe of the Punjab say that the bites of snakes do not hurt them, and if they find dead serpent they dress it in clothes and give it a superb funeral. Some one has discov- cred that the leaves of a bitter aromatic plant, aristolochia indico, if bruised into pulp, mixed with a little water and swallowed will often cure the bite of the Indian cobra.
 1t has been known to cure even when the victim showed no sign of life save warmth of the body, but the most gen eral remedy is the snake stone. Prof. Faraday has found this to be made of charrcd bone. It is applied to bite, and when it drops off of it's own accord the patient is said to be out of danger.
 These stones are used also in Mexico. Our own North American Indians will not kill 2, snake in their path. They hold it in reverence, and, although they select great numbers of them to use in their snake dances, they never kill them, but when the ceremony i3 finished take them out on the plains and release them.

A MANIAC MILLIONAIRE

Lifetime of Business Success Ending In
 Sudden Unsettiement of Reason.
 A curious story comes from London of man who founded a great and sue cessful dry goods house, who became a millionaire in wealth. and who now wanders through his own warehouse shabby, comfortless and anxious, think ing he is mere employe and that he may be at any moment discharged. Few of the customers know him, but he is down daily at the opening of the place and he stays till it closes at night. He is paid seven dollars and half a week, which he hoards like a miser lest he should be sent to the poorhouse or be buried at his death in the potter's field. Fifty years ago the world lay before this man fresh, untrodden and full of promise, and he determined to make a fortune. He was young, strong and clear-headed and he succeeded. In mid dle life he had achieved his purpose. He associated his sons with him in the busi- ness and might have retired but for his desire to make his house the first in that line of trade. To the accomplishment of this object he resolved to devote his energies for five years more. One day he had a fit in his counting-house and was carried to his west end mansion in
