The Horrible Fate That Met Bril-
Young.
Kanawha Gazette, Saturday.
The most horrible fate that
could have befallen any one was
meted out to Bril- Young about l 80
O'Clock this morning at the electric
light power house on Anderson
street.
From what could be learned, it
appears that he went to the lever
attached to the incandescent ma
chine and took hold of it. He had
no sooner touched it than he fell
dead, eleven hundred volts having
passed through his body.
Three doctors were called in and
they worked with the young man
until three o'clock this morning
without reviying him.
The unfortunate young man was
about twenty-five years old and
was employed in Ben Baer's bot
Ting house. He resided over Elk,
just below the lower bridge.

ago, Harry Gable and another boy,
went down to the point and dug up
skeleton and placed it in box,
intending to put it together, but
never being able to accomplish it,
put the skeleton in box and hid
it under the building, and the mat
ter forgotten. This may clear up
the mystery. DIR. Guthrie examin-

Wherever Malaria Exists,

The bilious are its certain prey. In
intermittent and remittent fever, dumb
ague and ague cake, the liver is always
seriously affected, and the blood contain
mated with bile. One of the chief reasons
why Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is such
sure defense against chills and fever
and every form of malarial disease, is
that it does away with liability to the dis
ease, by reforming irregularity of the
hillary organ in advance of the arrival of
the season when the disease is prevalent.
There is no finer fortifying preparative
for those about visiting or emigrating to
locality where the miasma faint exists.
There is no certain immunity from dis.
ease in an endemic or epidemic form, to
be secured by the use of the average
tonics and anti-spasmodics. But where
quinine fails the Bitters succeeds both in
preventing and curing. Moreover, it re-
moves every vestige of dyspepsia, and
overcomes constipation, rheumatism,
inactivity of the kidneys and bladder,
and tranquillizes and strengthens the
nervous system.
