Sudden Death of DR.. Burke Chrisman

Sudden Death of DR.. Burke Chrisman.
DR. Burke Chrisman, q highly respected and
intelligent citizen of Rockingham county, the
proprietor of Massanetta Springs, died sudden
ly of heart disease at the Revere House in Har-
risonburg at 10 o'clock last Friday morning,
July 9Th, in the Goth of his age. The clrcum-
stances attending his death, are given by the
Harrisonburg Daily Glance as follows
DIR ChriSman was omplainiDg last night
of an affection of the heart, and this morning
he sent, about 9:45, for DR.. Neff.
When the doctor arrived he found DR.. Chris
man in state of collapse. He spoke and said,
Doctor, its my heart, am gone" Dr. Neff
tried to cheer him but he said ''If l am not
dying | am very near it.'
Finding him SO much collapsed Dr. Neff
sent for some spirits, but before it arrived his
patient was unable to swallow. So hypodermie
injections of whiskey ard strychnia were tried,
but of no avail, and DIR. Chrisman passed
peacefully and quietly away.
DR.. Chrisman was in the 69th, year of his
age. He was born in this county and educat-
ed at the Virginia Military Institute. He af-
forwards studied medicine in Philadelphia 1t
was while there that he met his wife who was
a Miss Warder, who died in 1889.
He had one son George, also dead. His near
est relations are George Chrisman, VIII and
Herring Chrisman, his brothers, and Mrs. DR..
Williams, of Orange n. j., his sister.
He was much respected for his amiable and
charitable qualities He was man of excel
lent understanding and sound Judgment, and
will be much missed in Rockingham

Casualties byLTehtnine,

On Saturday, June Both, there was an cleo
trio storm in the neighborhood where the
battle of Port Republic was fought that was
very severe, and the peals of thunder initial
ed the discharges of cannon on that occasion,
and the lightning did considerable damage, as
will be seen from what correspondent of
the Ne1US says, as follows
IS. H. Lewis had four horses killed. They
were standing together under tree when the
tree was struck, killing the horses instantly.
John F. Lewis had two cows killed at the
same time.
w. S. Nicholas's barn was struck, but not
much damage was done to it, as the rods car
ried off most of the fluid.
Some three or four of our farmers had their
wheat badly burned by lightning
Jacob Harshbargers wind mill was struck.
1t sustained only slight damages.
Jacob ludlow, his wife and daughter, and
B. Frank ludlow, were severely stunned by
lightning. 1t struck a small peach tree, near
his smoke house, tearing it to the ground and
then went under it at the same time; thence
into the smoke house, tearing open a can of
oil, but did not set it on fire. Two of his
horses were severely stunned at the same
tilnen

Resolutions Of Resnect.

At a meeting OF the board of deacons of the
First Presbyterian church held July Bird, 1895
the following was adopted
WHEREAS 1t has pleased the Lord of Hosts
to call our dear friend and brother, John w.
Abby, from labor on earth to rest in Heaven
therefore, be it
ReSolged, That we the board of deacons of
the First Presbyterian church of Staunton
Va, keenly feel the loss of one of its oldest,
and most devoted members, who by his ready
and efficient services; his consecra ton to the
interests of the church, and the honor of his
Master, his gentle and genial temperament
had singularly endeared himself, to every
member of this board, of which he had been
a member for more than fifteen years; by an
unwavering and unfaltering service in sun
shine and storm, he ever had the affectionate
and grateful regard of the church and COM
munity-
ResoIoed, That we profoundly sympathize
with his children and kinsmen in their be.
reavement, and pray that the God of all grace
may comfort and strengthen them.

YOUNG WOMAN FEET 2 INCHES
HIGH.-A young woman of twenty
years, who lives in Pince, Mo-, is more
than feet tall. Miss Ella Ewing is
her name. She was educated in this
remote settlement, and will not leave
it. Thus it happens that very few
people have ever seen Miss Ewing, al
though her fame has spread far and
wide by word of mouth.
To be more exact on the subject of
Miss Ewing, it may be mentioned that
although she weighs 290 pounds, her
height of 8 feet saves her from any
appearance of obesity. On the con-
trary, she impresses one as gracefully
slender, and this impression is con-
firmed by her taste in dressing. Miss
Ewing prefers quiet colors In her at.
tire. Her hair is usually seen coiled
closely about her head and curled in
front.

McCorkle, of West Virginia, is not yet
out of the woods with his non military

course would have been to follow Gov
O'Ferrall's example.
The Georgia Supreme Court has de-
cided that the Southern Railway Com
pany need not pay damages to owners
of property abutting on the site of its
proposed shops in Atlanta, and the
work of building the shops will be
pushed ahead.
A storm in Putnam and Morgan

Returning Prosperity ant Revenue.


The more evident it becomes, says
the N Y. Herald, that the new tariff il
working we'll and is producing more
revenue than the Mckinley tariff die
under like conditions the more vehe
mently do some ''protectionist' jour
nails rave about the slim state of the
Treasury.
They ignore the fact that the Treas
ury deficiency is due, not to the Will
son tariff. but to the long and unex-
ampled failure of crops, prostration of
business and hard times. from which ii
would be foolish to expect a sudden
and complete recovery. Republican
opposition to the new tariff greatly de
layed it's passage and postponed the
recovery which has set in and is SO
rapidly going on under the Wilson tar
if.
When the new tariff took effect last
August the business depression was
universal, our foreign commerce Grip
pied by nearly four years of Mckinley.
ism and our import trade from which
the customs revenue of the government
is derivedD was at its lowest ebb. Much
time was needed for national GONZALES
cence from the morbid condition. And
the Wilson law has not yet had half a
chance to produce the good effects
which it surely will produce.
Republican 'protectionists" may
spare themselves the useless trouble of
stirring up a new tariff If the
revenues are deficient next winter they
can be easily increased by slight modi-
fications of the internal revenue laws.
LET us have peace!"
