Another Cleveland Baby.

BUzzARD's BAY, MASS, July Just be-
fore 5 o'clock to night news reached the vii
lage that a girl baby had been born at Gray
Gables. This report was soon verified by
DR.. Bryant, who announced that the happy
event occurred at 43O p. m, and hat both
mother and little one are doing as well as
could be expected. This is the third child
born into the Presidents family, and all OF
them are girls.
Ruth is four years old and Esther is not
two. Only a passing glance could be obtain
ed from the President this afternoon but
that was sufficient to note an expression of
satisfaction on the face of the Chief Execu
tive, although it was an open secret that a
boy baby would not have been unwelcome.
Ruth was born at the New York residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland, Oct. 3, 1891
and Esther at the White House Sept. 8, 1898.
President and Mrs. Cleveland were married
at the White House in Washington on June
8, 1886, by Rev. DR.. Sunderland, of the
Presbyterian Church.

Mr.. John W. Abby departed this life Tues
day morning, the 2nd instant, at , O'Clock.
aged about 6S years. He was always deli
cate, and, for some time past, feebleness
gradually increased till the end came. In
1862, Mr. Abby and Miss Augusta B. Fultz,
a daughter of the late Judge David Fultz,
were married. Mrs. Ably died in 1886. Two
sons and four daughters survive their par
ents. Mr.. Abby possessed and cultivated a
fine taste in those departments of life which
add to its happiness, and contribute to tie
realization of personal pleasures and social
delights. As a member Of the First Presby-
terrain church, CHS walk and conversation"
exemplifed through many long years, that
continuous active work and effort in the SER
vice of the Great Master, which added gems
to the crown of righteousness that awaited
his transfer to the realms of bliss. In the
church choir as leader and guide, bis name
and all the endeaFed associations which
crowd the mind, when his vacant seat is view
ed, are so many a%ttesiatIous Of life well
spent in good works-S1mfon Spectator

Excitement IN Berrurflle.

BERRYvILLE, VA. July S.-An attempt
was made last night to take Henry Robin
sou, who is in the Berryyille Jail, charged
with criminally assaulting MissMaggieNolls
from prison aud lynch him, but the lynch
ers were foiled. When the mob got to the
jail the deputies commenced firing, and the
crowd soon retired in great disorder, and did
not again reassemble. Yesterday the sher-
if OF Clarke county swore in twenty special
deputies on the rumor that an effort would
be made by the colored people Of the town
To forcibly take Robinson out and away to q
place of safety, the colored people fearing
that the white people would lynch him. a
large crowd continually hovers about the
jail, and the trouble is not thought to be
over yet.
To day the authorities wired the Governor
for aid, and the Monticello Guards, of Char
lottesyille, Captain Kellar, of the second
Virginia Regiment, arrived here at $50 to-
night with thirty-six men. The trial of
Robinson is not yet concluded. The mil
itary has a two-fold duty to prevent his
rescue by negroes, and to prevent lynching
10y whites.

There are few more beautiful women
or popular singers than Miss Theresa
Vaughn, whose refined and exquisite
singing In the burlesque 1892" will
long be remembered In every community.
Her address Is New York City, but she is
known, respected and admired from one
end of our country TO the other and her
strong endorsement of the wonderful cur
atiye powers of DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy and her earnest
advice for the tired-out, the weak, the
nervous, the run down and debilitated, to
use this grandest of all medicines, will
be followed by everybody who needs a
strengthening and invigorating remedy.
She tells all to use 1t, because she
knows 1t banishes all pain, cures tie ach-
ing head and dragging back ache, re-
stores the over-taxed brain, nerves the
weary limbs strengthens the weak and
shattered nerves, gives natural refreshing
sleep-in fact makes all who use it strong
and well. The remedy Is purely vegeta-
BILE and perfectly harmless and may be
given to infants, children or the weakest
invalids with positive assurance of bene-
fetal results.
Here Is what she says:
"The fatigue attendant upon public
appearances has often caused me to suffer
