Fatal Shooting In virginia city.

Thomas Woodliff Jr. shot and al
most instantly killed Thomas f.
O'Rourke In Virginia City yesterday.
The shooting occurred on A. street,
between Union and Taylor, near the
residence Of the Woodliff family.
After the shooting O'Rourke stagger-
ed along the street and fell in the
doorway of the resi1en e of James
Spargo and expired almost immedi-
diately. He never spoke after beng
shot. After the shooting Woodliff
went to the residence of a neighbor
in the vicinity and remained there
until arrested. The Chronicle says
Woodliff stated to an officer that he
had warned O'Rourke several times
not to visit the family residence as he
had not treated his [Woodliff'sl sister
properly. He said that when he was
coming away from the houes after
eating his lunch he met 0 Rourke
near the corner Of A and Union
streets and returning shortly after
found the latter just leaving the fam
lily residence. II said to him you
--I told you to keep away
from the house. O'Rourke made an
insulting answer and I shot him."
O'Rourke was a native Of New York
City, about A years of age and had
resided in Virginia City about four
years. Woodlif, is the son OF Thomas
Woodliff, the druggist. He is a
printer by trade, but has been lately
employed in his fathers drugstore.
An examination disclosed the fact
that the bullet from Woodliff's pistol
entered O'Rourke's left breast about
three inches above the nipple. No
weapon was found on his body.
The cororer's jury returned a YER
dict that O'Rourke came to his death
from a gun shot wound inflicted by
Thomas Woodlif Jr.. on the 18th day
of July, 1895.

Cure For DiphtherIa.

The London Lancet, probably the
foremost medical journal printed in
the English language, is authority for
the following: "a few years ago, when
diphtheria was raging in England, Il
gentlemen accompanied the celebrat-
ed DIR. Field on his rounds to witness
the so-called wonderful cures which
he performed, while the patients OF
others were dropping on all sides.
Cali he took with him was powder
Of sulphur and a quill, aud with these
he cured every patient without excep-
tion-that is he put a teaspoonful of
flour of birthstone into d wine glass
of water, and stirred it with his finger
instead Of a spoon, as sulphur does
not readily amalgamate with water,
and, On the sulphur becoming well
mixed, he gave it as Il gargle, and in
ten minutes the patient was out of
danger as birthstone kills every specie
of flung us in man, beast and plant in
a few minutes.
sInstead Of splitting ont the gargle,
he recommends the swallowing of it
and, III extreme cases, in which he
had been called just in the nick of
time, when the fungus was too nearly
closing to allow the gargling, he blew
the sulphur through a quill into the
throat, and after the fungus had
shrnnk To allow nf it, thea the garg-
ling. He eve lost a patient from
diphtheria. Or, it the patient cannot
gargle, take d live coal, put it on a
shovel, and sprinkle a spoonful Oh two
of the birthstone at a time upon it, let
the sufferer inhale it. holding the
head over it, and the fungus will die"
