Richville letter.

RICHvILLE, o., Jan. 3.
All Richville and vicinity is greatly
excited about reports of a gorilla being
seen by different parties. Some say II has
horns foot long; others said 1t had eyes
like tin plates (no doubt some of McKin-
ley's TIM. John Devilie said he did not
believe II at frat reports as he never
heard or saw anything but the rattling of
the leaves, but since Brother HILBERT told
him II was after him as he was coming
home from Gambrinus church he believes
1t. HILBERT said he ran till he got out of
wind, then he Kquatted behind some
bushes when the gorilla came up to him.
He was sure he was a Roner but he took
courage by pattinR the gorilla, so the
animal licked his hand and then vanished.
Bro, John has more faith and told G. S.
Brown that he saw tracks In the mud
about two feet long and ten inches wide.
John Hafer, the butcher says he believes
there must be some truth in the above re-
ports as he missed some of the rams
horns that were lying In the yard below
no doubt to be used as weapon, of de.
struction but since the snow there are no
tracks to be seen and no reports. Since the
election II 10 presumable Il went with the
gorilla as with the z. O. p. He crept into q
hole and took the hole along withit.

CHARITY BALL.
A Noble Project Undertaken by the
Ladies of the Manhattan Club.

A Noble Project Undertaken by the
Ladies of the Manhattan Club.
The ladies of the Manhattan club met
at the residence of Mr.. ]. II. DumouIin
last evening to talk over the project of
giving charity hall for the benefit of the
Louisville Orphans Home. The matter
was discussed in all its bearings, all
necessary arrangements made, and the
decision reached that Wednesday even.
ing, January 18, would be the proper time
and Bast's hall the proper place for giving
tue ball. There was a large attendance
at the meeting and the ladies are all en-
thusiastic. Under such auspices the affair
cannot be other than success. The
ladies will proceed at once with the sale
of tickets. The object is most worthy
one. The home does not receive any as
sistance from the state, but exists from
donations. Every person should pur.
chase ticket and help along noble
cause. The price of tickets has been
placed within the reach of all.

NARROWLY AVERTED.
Great Excitement at the Mar
ket Street Crossing of the VAL
ley Railroad.

]. s. Bsrkey, accompanied by Owen
Pfouts of the city engineers office was
driving down South Market street Tues
day afternoon, when they mot with n
lively experience. Mr.. Blrkey is q farmer
who resides near North Industry. He was
driving frsctious team. The Valley
passenger train was approaching and the
horses started on the run in order to
get across the track ahead of the
oncomiDg train. The farmers outfi. and
the train arrived at the crossing about the
same time. Seeing that a collision was
iminent the engineer put on the air and
reversed the engine. The team SHE'D to
one side, ran upon the sidewalk and into
the fence. Mrs. Lorenzo Killian was
walking on the sidewalk and had a mar
row escape from being run down. The
train was stopped barely in time to avert
q collision with the wagon. The sudden
application of the air brakes and the re-
vernal of the engine threw the passengers
out OF their seats and the greatest confus-
ion prevailed, Passengers got out of the
train pell nell to see Whist was the trouble.
No one was hurt 20 any extent. There is
no gate at this crossing aud no watchman
though it 10 one OF the most dangerous
crossings in the city. Some decisive
action will probably be taken by the coun.
Gil after few people have been killed.

A Hotel Ghost Captured.

The ghost that for years has haunted
the Oceanic hotels and raised the hair OF
the people of West Brighton has been
trapped, Since the close of the seasou
the huge building has been inhabited
only by John Delaney, milk dealer,
and the family Of one of his employees.
The other day the milllman heard foot
falls and gr)aning from the upper floor
Of the deserted building. Cautiously
creeping up stairs, he captured the ghost
in the act of groaning.
The groar were produced by nothing
more supernatural than the limb Of a
huge willow tree in juxtaposition with a
window blind, the rusty hinges of which
gave out doleful sounds with every gust
of wind. The tapping of the loose shut
ter produced very good imitation of a
footstep.-Cor. New York Sun.

Josiah Pender, of Edgecombe county,
died during the war. A short time be-
fore he died he was in the West Indies
and from there he sent his wife, sister
of Louis S. Pender, three drafts of $500
each on the Bank of England. These
were received, but there being no com
munication with Great Britain they
were put away and finally forgotten. A
few days since Mrs. Pender, in hauling
over the contents of an old trunk, came
across these three checks. At first she
was disposed to regard them as worth
less paper except that they contained
the writing of her husband, but on sec
ond thought she determined to ascertain
their value. So the drafts were indorsed
and sent through the Pamlico bank for
collection. 1t is believed that she will
get the money.-Charlotte On. C.) OBJ

HEARTLESS
is THE TREATMENT A MOTHER kccoRDs
HER CHILDREN.

They are Looked Out OF Their Home and
Compelled to Seek Shelter elsewhere
Pitiful Tale From the west End.
An extremely sad case of mothers
heartless treatment of her little children
comes from tho west end. The story orig
mated In the home Of Frank ID Gerner,
reeidipR Just off HozleW avenue and em-
ployed at the Gas Works.
About z O'clock last night, three little
girls, Louisa, Anna and Denia Datferner,
aged respectively ten, eleven and twelve
years, came to the Melbourne Hotel and
stated that their mother had locked them
out of the house. Landlord HiudmaD, in
the kindness of his heart, took them In
and gave them shelter for the night. This
morning the curly haired aud bright eyed
little ones were taken home. The hus
band's reason for this condition OF things
was made clear when NEWS DEMOCRAT
reporter called on him this morning. Mr..
Dafferner 10 hard working ard industri.
Gus mau. His wife occasionally indulges
Ia liquor and makes things disoRreeable
in her household. She alm9s. daily sends
her girls after liquor, and thon proce eds
10 dispose OF IL herself. Yesterday tho
husband won't to work and at noon timo
and in the evening when he returned
home for bic meals, his vito bad failed TO
provide anything for him. "Nor Is this
the first time," said be, "bu! IT happens 30
often, and just see how weak l am
haven't had anything decent to eat since
yesterday morning"
IL appears that the wife is uumindful OF
her duty toward her hard working hus
band, that she fails to properly
care for the children, and when
she gets drunk beats them
shamefully. On several occasions the
father has taken the little girls to his
working place to keep them out OF the
hands OF the woman when intoxicated.
The woman ia said to buy beer by the
quart and gallon. A proper investiRa a ation
will probably be made by the police and
the children will be better cared for.

A Laboratory Device,

Most practical chemists are painfully
aware of the unsightly appearance of re-
agent bottles, caused by the drops of ths
Bolutions running down the outside Rnc
crystallizing thereon. Popular Science
News tells that this may be prevented by
simply painting the rim with melted par
Rfiin. Care should be taken to cover only
the side Of the lip.-none should be put on
the upper surface. This can be accom-
Plished most easily by using a small hog
hair brush and wax of low melting point,
such as is used for imbedding sections. 1t
will be found that besides preventing the
solution trickling down the outside it en-
ables one to deliver the reagent easily In
single drops without resorting to the plan
of only partly Withdrawing the stopper.

French Polishing,

French polishing is an art not beyond thu
power Of amateurs, according tAThe Deco
rator and Furnisher, but it is6ne reauir-
ing considerable time and patience and de-
manding practice at the start. First Of
all the surface of thewood should be well
rubbed with fine glass'pape and the dust
from this removed. "A sort of cushion or
pad is then made with flannel. This must
be thoroughly wet with the French pol-
ish, clean piece of linen or muslin
stretched over it, and drop Of linseed oil
applied to the face. With this polish ia
circles with light but regular pressure
this process to be repeated at intervals
until the requisite polish is obtained Or
dinary French polish will do for expert
ments, but it darkens the color of wood or
satin. Therefore colorless polish is essen
tial for delicate work

beyond anything hitherto found at that
period or until very many centuries later
in Assyria and Greece. In another room
