Black. the aged man of West Lubee. whd
hung himself the other day, had entertained
n suspicion that neigahor had been c1n-
eerned in the attack and robbery of himself
and sister. and while not openly charging
him with TIL. crime. still felt that an
apology was due to hun when the arrested
parties confessed to being the guilty ones.
when this neighhor was approached by
Black and pardon asked for the unjust srs
pieions which hal been entertained against
him. he told Black that nothing short
Of q money consideration would be
accepted in settlement for the reflections
upon his character. This. with the loss of
his money and the events connected with
it, so preyed upon Blacks mind that ii
drove him 20 suicide. Blacks sister, who
still suffers from the injuries she received
on the night Of the robbery. has nearly lost
her reason through the succession of terri
BILE events which have caused the death Of
her brother and the loss Of the hard earned
savings Of a life time.

The small boy of Augusta has POUNDS
new pastime. He goes to the blacksmith
shops and begs, borrows and steals horse
shoe nail and ties string to it, being care
full that it is tied directly over the center Of
the head of the nail he swings this over bic
head and lets it strike against some woodsn
surface, either tree, house or plank walk.
IL a boy is proficient he can drive the nail
deep into the wood every time. Boys should
be very careful about using such plsy-
thing, as they are very apt to hit one another
with it, AMI the result is almost certain 10
be serious. 1t has already become very
popular game to judge from the number OF
calls the smiths are having for nails.

THE FIRE AT WHITNEYVILLE.

The Ice Houses and Augur,s Store
 and Boat House Completely De-
 stroyed-The Loss Will Amount to
 About $3O,OOO.
 As announced in the COURIER yesterday morning lightning struck one of the ice houses on the banks of Lake Whitney and set it afre. The flames spread to Augur's store and boat houses and the other ice houses destroyed them, the flames having no opposition of any extent to cope with. Only one ice house escaped, the new one under the bank near the bridge. As none of the buildings above the dam at Lake Whitney were within the city limits, the fire companies did not turn out. This gave the fire practically full sway. There were only about twenty-five people there, and these could do little or nothing except to assist in saving few things from the store and boat house. In less than two hours the flames had completely destroyed all the five ice houses and also Augur's boat house and store. The total damage by the fire will be about s30,OOO. The first of the ice houses at Lake Whit ney was built about twenty-fv years ago, OtnerS nave been added on as the business of the ice company increased, the last hay ing been built about two years ago. The store, which belonged to the ice company. was built about thirty years ago, and was first occupied by O. D. Emery. Then Charles P. Augur took it, and about five years ago George D: Blakeslee took it. kr. Blakeslee owned the boat house, which he valued at $500. MT. Blakeslee only lost four boats, but this loss together with that of the boat house is fully covered by in- surance. The store building was worth about $1, ,000 and the stock about $500 Both the building and stock was insured.
 The loss to the ice company will amount to between $25, ,000 and $30, 1000. The com- pany will rebuild the burned houses and have covered the piles of ice with straw, etc., to :otect the Ice as much as possible from the suns heat.
 As the fire continued to burn all yester- day forenoon the ice company engaged from the city the use of steamer No. s and No. 8 went to the scene at Il o'clock a. m. and played on the ruins for about three and half hours, returning to her house at 8 p. m. No. took her place at the house in the interim.
 The insurance on the ics company's burned buildings is about $4 ,000 and Is with J. G. & J. 0. North and Cannon & Burton. The company's net loss is about $10,000.

a very simple and short one, easily obtain able, nourishing. strengthening, palatable, always pure-Lactated Food.
 Children fed on lsctated food grow hardy and strong, The efficacy of the nutritiye quality of this perfect substitute for pure human milk has long been acknowledged by the medical profession.
 Pure mothers milk is the ideal food for infants but when this is out of the queE- tion, lactated food, which more closely than anything else resembles healthy hu- man milk, should be used.
 The majority of deaths of childrea un- der five years is directly traceable to the ignorance and mismanagement of mothers. But it is being better and better known that the dreadful scourge, cholera infan- tum, and similar summer troubles may be prevented by the use of laotated food. In many communities it has reduced the ratio of mortality of infants under five years. It has entered the practical working phar- macopaia of thousands of physicians. It cannot be too often said that it has saved thoueands of infants lives and caused as many more to grow plump ard active.
 The careful mother should not give her child anything the competition of which Is not known to her. Lsctated food Is not a secret preparation. It is made in the most careful manner from the nourlshing clements of wheat and barley properly combined with the pure eugar of milk. The buildings where it is prepared and put up are famous for their absolute c!eanlt- ness It never spoils.
 Mothers the country over have for years been writing grateful letters telling how their children when fed upon lactated food have grown from weak and puny babes to healthy, happy, hearty youngsters, and this experience of o:her mothers together with the best medical skill Is at the service of every mother in the land.
 MT. A. D. Wentworth, Niagara Falls, 8 picture of whose baby is given above, writes Our boy was born in March and his mother died one week after his birth. He was 50 feeble that we did not think we could raise him, but friend recommended lactated food to us, after we had tried al most every rything else, and since then he has thrived like a young rabbit and has never had sick day. He weighs twenty pounds and Is in perfect health."
 Mrs. J. F. Whitson from away out in Michigan writes @ We owe the life of our baby girl to lactated food and we trea- sure her more than we can express. People that call on me say, What nice, fat baby How wish mine was as fat and healthy I tell them to feed their baby lactated food and 1t will be just as fat. will recommend the lactated food to every mother 1 meet We have used it evel since you gent us the sample last spring and think there Is no other like 1t. N, words of mine can fully describe the merit of lactatsd food"

sPIRITUALIsTs IN CAMP.
The Grounds at Mantle the Mecca o1
 the True Believers.

The Grounds at Mantle the Mecca of
 the True Believers.
 N1ANT1c, July 13.-Eyery year since 1881 the faithful among Connecticut Spiritual ists, when the July heat makes residence near the shore desirable, make pilgrim age to Mantle, where in the pines are about seventy-fve tasty and convenient cottages. They are adjacent to and on the north side of the state military camp ground. This year is no exception to those which have preceded it, although the number there Is somewhat less than heretofore. .t :
 The camp meeting is supposed to be opened July 1, but the first public service was not held until Sunday, July 9, on which occasion the speaker was not called from the gradually decreasing ranks of Spiritualist lecturers, but instead regu- larly ordained clergyman in the Unitarian church, and it was certainly relief to many who attend these meetings who are not pronounced in their Spirituslism as we'll as very many who are firm believers, but who are not SO bigoted that they can not accept wholesome truths.
 The speaker Sunday was the Rev. T. Ernest Allen of Grafton, Mass. MT: Allen is an uncommonly clear thinker and lucid reasoner; he ia the secretary and treasurer of the American Psychical society and edi- tor of the Psychical Review, quarterly publication devoted to the objects of the society and describing the results of the society's investigation and psychic phs- nomens.
 The Connecticut Spiritualist association officers for 1893 are: President,S. O. Har- rington of Bridgeport; first vice president, Orrin Morse of Putnam; second vice presi- tary, R. F. Stanton of South Windham; treasurer, 0. M. Platt of Waterbury. Taking Spencsr's bus the visitor is car ried along the beach road, entering thu grounds at the southeast corner. Tn, point which attracts the newcomers Is thu tower, 130 feet high, the top floor being 1; feet square, surmounted by 8 railing fec high. A 3O-foot pole floats the stars anG stripes from the top, where magnificent view of Long Island sound for 60 miles car be obtained. Rooms are fitted for the ae commodation of thirty lodgers on the frs six floors, prices ranging from 25c to soc person. A stock of groceries, candy, to bacco, cigars and small beer Is kept by R H. Burnhsm of New Britain, for the ac commodation of residents.
