One Of New York's leading physi-
clans, in a recent published article,
speaks of the terrible feelings of the
anxious mother when she sees her chile
in fit.
But there is help, and help right at
hand.
Here is what parent, Mr.. Herbert E.
Harrington, Box pa, Adams, Mass,
says to all the parents of this land.
Our little boy Royal had fits. He
would drop to the floor. sometimes for
ward, sometimes backwards, as if he
was dead and if he was eating his head
would drop onto his plate, so we had
to hold up his head all the time he was
eating. If he went across the floor,
some one had to lead him, and the slime
would run from his mouth. His stom-
ach was so weak that his food would
not digest, and every muscle Of his
body would twitch so it was impossible
for him To- do anything.
For two years we took him to our
local doctors and they could do nothing
to help him, and they advised us to

A SAD CASE

A peculiarly sad case was brought to
light in this city yesterday. Some time
ago a girl living on the South Side
went to Sistersyille, where she lived in
a boat house and led the life of an
abandoned woman. She was mixed up
in frequent quarrels, and about a week
ago was beaten and thrown into the
river. All this time she was enciente.
a fact which was known to the brutes
with whom she associated. She came
to Wheeling three or four days ago.
and went TO the house of i'll fame kept
by Maud Smith. on Twenty-frst street
Yesterday she gave birth TO a still born
child Coroner Schultze was called
but decided that a formal inquest was
unnecessary.

a Man Narrowly Escapes Drowning at the
Ferry Float.
A man named Burkhart had a close
call FOR his life. at the Island ferry
float, on the east side of the river. about
$50 o'clock las, night He reached the
float as the boa, swung eff. and attempt
ed to board it. He carried a pair of
scales under one arm and a basket of
butter in another He had his hands
full, as the sequel proves.
Burkhart fell into the river near the
lower end Of the float. When he arose
TO the surface he proclaimed in a lusty
voice his ignorance Of the art of swim
ming. The scales and butter went
down like McGin,y. but Burkhart was
pulled out and his life saved. He was
uninjured beyond a severe chill result
ing from his Involuntary bath. He
dried his clothing in front of the stove
on the float and proceeded home.

AFTER JOHNSON.
The Would-be Murderer OF Mcdonald in
Wheeling Nesfer nv

The Would-be Murderer of Mcdonald in
Wheeling Nester ay.
Johnson, the colored man who made
a murderous assault on Officer Conley,
in Mcdonald, as detailed in the Regis
ter yesterday, is thought to have been
in this city yesterday morning. A
man answering his description came in
on a Panhandle freight train at two
o'clock yesterday morning. The train
was stopped at the Top mill by Officers
Coss and Troutwine.
The officers searched the train, but
did not find the man. At Jonathan's
ravine one of the train crew pointed
out the man on Main street, and the
officers gave chase. The suspected man
ran through Habberfelds yard, and
down toward the river, jumping over a
wall 80 feet high, and going through
three inches of ice when he alighted.
He was lost to sight here. In going
through the yard the mans hat was
taken off by a clothes-line, but he did
not stop to recover ii.
If the suspected man was not john
son, it is probable that he is wanted
for something else, as his conduct was
very suspicious.
