THAT CABINET."-Rev. D. H.
Shields, of the First M. E. Church of
this city, delivered his widely popu-
lar lecture, "That Cabinet" on Tues
day evening for the benefit of the
Organ Fund of his church. Just be-
fore the lecturer began a fire alarm
was sounded but few of the large
audience left the church, although
the fire was going on during the time
of lecture. The church was not only
full, but the large galleries had to be
thrown open to accommodate the
people.
"That Cabinet" is not an old Gu
riosity shop, although it was filled
with curios and true specimens of
the curious being, man. Rev. Shields
is man of wide experience, and the
lecture showed what keen observer
of human character he is by reason
Of much travel. The comparison
may be vulgar but the lecture re-
minds one Of an intensely interesting
game of base ball. 1t is full of good
hits, keeps up in excitement, abounds
in applause, and the lecturer brings
in points that tell like home run.
Mr.. Shields was educated for law
yer and uses that "fnesse" which
commands success and popularity
The organ fund. was increased by q
good round sum as a result of the
silver collection.

engagement OF Japanese troops with
Chinese occurred which resulted in
an overwhelming defeat for the
Chinese. It is believed that the

and complete. An immense amount
of provisions, arms, ammunition and
other stores, in addition to hundreds
Of flags, were captured by the jap
anese in the Chinese camps and en-
trenchments. 1t is estimated that
the Chinese lost 10000 men in killed
wounded and prisoners. Among the
captured Chinese are several of the
most prominent commanding officers
of the Chinese troops in Corea; only
few of the Chinese commanders
succeeded in escaping, and these got
away almost Immediately after the
japanese made their attack upon The
/ Chinese rear.

TRAIN ROBBERS FoILED-ATHRILL-
ING FIGHT.-A train on the Atchin-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
was stopped by train robbers near
CORN. No., on Tuesday morning and
desperate fight was had with the
would-be robbers who secured no
booty. A spy had found out their
intentions and the train was provid.
ed with armed men. The engineer
was shot in the shoulder, but as soon
as this was done fusilade was fred
upon the robbers, wounding two Of
them, Charles Abrams and Lincoln
Overfield, both Of whom were cap
tured. The attack was daringly
planned aud daringly resisted. This
lesson will probably stop the many
train robberies that have lately been
perpetrated in the west.

FIRST TELEGRAPH LINE.-Fifty
years ago there was one solitary tel
egraph line of any successful system
in existence and that was exciting
the curiosity and wonder of all pas
sengers on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad between the nations cap
ital and Maryland's chief city. The
interest in the new means of trans
hitting intelligence was SO great
that Professor Morse saw no lmpro.
priety in asking the managers of the
railroad, along which ran his single
wire, to direct that whenever break
occurred in the line the next passen.
ger train should wait at that point
until the passengers and trainmen
should have repaired the damage /;
and it is said that he was quite
chagrined at their refusal. They
might have advantageously under
taken this slight task for certain
use of the line in the business of the
road. There are to-day few roals, if
any, which could safely run their
usual trains, or make I'll ei I
schedule time, without an exclusive
wire.-George j. Varney, in October

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
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets indamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely clos
ed deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its norma
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten arr
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of thu
mucous surfaces.

UNREpENTANT VICE REBUKED.-It
is gratifying to know that W. G. P.
Breckenridge has been defeated. 1t
was to be feared that the possession
by him of the party machinery aided
by the side show candidacy of Settle
would enable him to pull through.
The only regret is that he should
have received SO large vote, though
those who know the influence of q
corrupt machine and the occasional
ability it enjoys to induce men who
ought to know better to support the
vilest of candidates will not be sur
prised at the number of his support
ers at the polls. The majority
against him would doubtless have
been, however, much more decisive
had it not been for the candidacy of
Settle. Breckenridge richly deserved
defeat. His conduct in lecturing on
Christian purity while leading the viii
est life was inexcusable more so 81
his talents would have enabled him
to have chosen other themes which
would not have made him out o
hypocrite and brought discredit up
on religion. His action in sending
his victim to seminary attended by
his daughters and those of his
friends and in introducing her into
the house of Mrs. Blackburn and
others were absolutely defenceless
His attempt to gets public vindica
ton at the polls put to rout all his
professions of repentance and his
| success would simply have meant th'
glori6cation of the vilest kind of I'm
repentant vice. To the women o
Kentucky is given the credit of BIZ
defeat. All honor to the women o
Kentucky who did their duty whel
thousands Of Kentucky's men failet
/ to do theirs.

A HUGE F1RE-THE CANNINaFAc.

A HUGE FIRE-THE CANNINaF Ac-
TORY TOTAL Loss BY FLAME
Shortly before eight o'clock on Tues
day night, the whistles of the fac
tories in the west end of this city
began to sound an alarm and with
the ringing of the fire bell it was
soon known what was the matter.
A fire originated in the Canning
Factory which lately began opera
tions and very soon mass of flames
broke ont, destroying the whole
building and all the contents. 1t
was caused by an explosion of gaso-
line. The employees were in the
building when the accident occurred.
The building was frame one and
was occupied by the Canning Fac
tory In the lower story and Company
E, of the First Regiment W. Va.
National Guards above as an ar
mory. The loss is very heavy and
is only partially covered by Insult
ance. There were 100000 cans of
tomatoes stored in the building and
the loss of them with machinery and
building will reach nearly $4,000.
There is $4,000 insurance of which
81 900 was on building, 81 900 on ma
chineryand $1,000 ON the stock. Too
much cannot be said of the brave
and faithful work of the flremen but
the fire had gained too much head
way to save anything. From the
location of the flames many thought
that it was the factory of the Middle
sex Knitting Company. The loss
was bad enough as it was, but the
burning of this factory would have
been much worse. The canning
company will take active steps to
resume operations next week. They
will either erect a new building on
the old site, or lease another build
ing to occupy until they can rebuild.
The building was owned by Mr.. S.
A. Westenhaver. Company E. lost
about Is rifles and a great deal Of
ammunition, also their tents and
baggage. The companies which in.
sured the factory are represented by
Messrs. VIM. Morgan and 81. L. AL
exander. The insurance on the cans
and stock was placed by Fl. L. Alex
ander, Insurance Agent, King street,
and the loss will be properly adjust.
ed and settled by him.

STATE VS.. M. A. SNoDGRAss.-The
case of State VS.. M. A. Snodgrass,
who was indicted for selling liquor
without a license occupied the atten
ton of the Circuit Court the greater
part of Tuesday. The facts were
about as follows Mr.. g. S. Hill,
cashier Of the lst National Bank be-
came very sick short time ago and
Mr.. Snodgrass' clerk, under the ur-
gency of the case sold him some liq-
our without a prescription. The let
ter of the law was probably violated,
but certainly the ends ofjustice were
accomplished when for a charitable
act the jury acquitted Mr.. Snod-
grass. The State moved for new
trial, but the motion was oyerruled.

off. We do not know for what cause,
but we do know that our band con-

from Cumberland and it looks very
much like back down from the band
