DEATH OF Miss CoRNELIA B.SMITH.
Early Friday morning, Aug. "a,
1894 God in his wisdom visited the
home of Mrs. Ruth Smith OF White
Hall, Va, and called home her eldest
daughter, Miss Cornelia Byrd Smith,
aged 20 years, I months and 26days.
She leaves a mother, sister and a
host of friends to mourn her loss.
She was kind, afectionate and
loving daughter and sister. She was
well known in this community and
loved by all who knew her. Nelia
was not a member of any church but
a lover of Gcd, and a regular and
faithful worker in the Sunday school
where she will be greatly missed.
The Sunday school deeply mourns
her loss, which they showed by dec
Grating her casket with a wreath Of
flowers, and singing, in tears, "Shall
we meet beyond the river" Her
being called from time into eternity
in the morning of life. we might
vainly ask ourselves the question,
"Why noe so pure, SO kind, so true,
with SO bright a future before her
should be called to try the reality of
an unknown world ~ But may the
mother, the sister and the many
weeping friends find comfort in the
thought that God knows best. Her
sickness was brief, and she was
victim of the dreaded typhoid fever.
She was a great sufferer, but she
bore it without murmur. Her re-
mains were taken to the White Hall
church where the services were con-
Quoted by Rev. j. e. B. Rice. He
preached from the very appropriate
| text found in the 18th Chapter 9th
verse of jeremiah, 'Her sun has
gone down while it is yet day." Her
smiling beauty plainly showed the
peaceful sunset Of pure life. The
bier was almost buried under the
floral tributes given by her many
friends. She was followed by many
weeping frienjsto Mt. Hebron GENE
terry where she was laid to rest be-
side her father, who preceded her
about six years. Her sad death has
cast bereavement ever the whole
community. Ell.

DEMocRATIc CONGRESSIONAL Con-
vENT1oN.-The Convention which
nominated VIM l.. Wilson for the
seventh time for Representative in
Congress from the Second Congress
sional District of West Virginia was
called TO order in this city shortly
before IL o'clock on Wednesday
morning by Hon. S. W. Walker, who
called Hon. NJ. w. Gambrill of
Hardy county to the chair, and nam
ed Col. G. Z! Smith of Marion coun-
ty and all Democratic editors Sec
retaries. These gentlemen were
afterwards named as permanent Off
GERS. Mr.. Gambrill's acceptation
speech was a marvel ofinconsistency
especially when he said that "tarlff
reform will never die till the rights
of the people are indicated, |" mean
ing, we suppose, that if the people
had their tights il would be dead
now, a circumstance which will no
doubt occur at The next opportunity.
His feeling remark as to German,
Brice & Co., traitors in camp acting
under the guise of Democrats was
enthusiastically received-and the
band played "Dixie." After the APP
pointment of committees the con.
vention adjourned till 2 p. M, when
after the adoption of resolutions
they nominated with a whoop the
present leader of tariff reform in the
House, VIM. L. Wilson. This gen
tleman and several of his confreres
came up ON the 1.30 train and. were
hauled about the streets in wagons
drawn by men instead of horses, the
burden in the carriage being toe
precious to trust to those "vair
things for safety" When Wilson
appeared at the Opera House bed
lam reigned, and his admirers could
not suppress their lenthasiasm. III

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.

BASE BALL.
vigilants, 10; Martinsburg, 9.

The Vigilants, Baltimore Base
Ball Club, with several Hsgerstown
players, crossed bats with our home
team on Thursday and Friday of
this week. The first game resulted
in score of Is to 9 in favor of the
Vigilants. The second game is be-
ing played as we go to press.
The Vigilants won purely by bet
ter playing, and the home team was
asleep during portions of the game,
both at the bat and on the bases.
Zimmerman was first at the bat and
made two Dagger, but was thrown
out at third. Rider made home
run, as did McGaun of the Vigilants.
In the I'd inning Martinsburg failed
to score, and in the field Slinkman
muffed a costly fly letting in two
runs, but Creque gamely hung on to
two flies retiring the side. At the
end of the Sd inning in which both
sides failed to score, the runs stood
2 for Martinsburg, 4 for the Vigil
lants. 1t looked like the game was
to be fine one, but Martinsburg's
poor field work gave the visitors
five runs. Every one slept at his
post but Creque, who was a moving
spirit, but had no opportunity to en-
thuse. Something was wrong with
Rider throughout the game. HIS
curves were slow, men took bases on
balls, and they pounded him to
pieces. 1t was not the extraordinary
playing of the Vigilsnts who did
steady work, but the poor work of
the home team that defeated US. In
the 9Th inning Mart insburg took on
little vigor and pounded out two
runs, but when the Vigilants came
to the bat cur men went to pieces
again and left in six runs. In utter
despair Martinsburg went to the bat
in the 7th inning and we're somewhat
enthused by making five runs. If
they had followed up their squirt the
game would have been theirs, but the
lead was so great that their disheart-
enedness continued and they failed
to recover. With Captain Pitzerwe
have no fault to find, except that he
gets in the "dumps'' too often when
bis men fail to support him. He
must keep up the good feeling even
when losing and the boys Will more
readily respond. Creque in the 7th
made a phenomenal catch of a low
straight fly that he had to run hard
for. 1t struck the ground way ahead
of him, but his hands were under it,
and throwing it quickly with Lam
on's assistance he made double
play. Lamon and Horner also made
a double play in the 9Th. Lamon
has been and is now playing good
ball, Few can appreciate what try
ing thing it is to stop the hot liners
straight from the bat. Bert failed
to hold couple of them on the
ground, but they never passed him.
We offer these few criticisms not to
discourage, but to show our boys
that they can play good ball, but must
not lose their heads. Horner at
first is all right, but he must brush
up with the bat. Young at second
and Zimmerman at third know
their book, but felt their disappoint-
ment in this game.
The visitors knew they Lad for
midable opponents but were secure
in big lead and could afford to smile
but they never forgot to play ball.
Gettig is good pitcher and Kelley
who caught for him is nice player,
and did good work. The following
is The score by innings:
