A most distressing occurrence took
place at the home Of William Bonar,
who resides on Fork Ridge, Marshall
county, Monday about noon, by which
his three-yaar.old boy, Ray, was burned
to death. The child had been down
stairs with its mother in tho kitchen,
aud left and went up stairs by itself.
Soon after, Mrs. Bonar was attracted by
screams. She hurriedly ran up stairs
aud by the time she had arrived on the
scene, found her child's clothing
all In q blaze and almost entirely
burned of. Its whole body
was burned to crisp, and 1t was
hardly recognizable az . human being.
even by the mother. No one except
an infant, in cradle, was in the room
at the time, and it is a wonder that the
burning child in its excitement had
not run over to it and set its clothes
afire. DR.. 8. NJ. Steele was summoned
from Moundsville, but nothing could
be done for the suffering child. It only
lived about three hours. The funeral
took place yesterday afternoon. The
grief stricken parents are we'll known
and have the sympathy Of many friends
in the county.

NEW YoRK, Dec. 15.-Jack Denpsey's
stock has deprecated to an alarming
extent lately. Fully so per cent OF the
sports are OF the opinion that Ryan will
beat the ex-middleweight champion in
their 25-round contest when it comes
off. There has been no betting aside
from a few small wagers and Ryan
in these had fret choice. Dempsey's
friends in this part OF the country are
all hopeful, but many of them fear he
has made q mistake. Jim Corbett tele.
graphed his manager, Brady. to bet a
certain amount for him on Dempsey.
The odds last night were 100 to 60 in
favor of Ryan.
