Hope for mir. Rouss.
ys,D cure fr5vfng beneficial filitonatre's
signaess Oybs Nay Ye. See His Benefac-
lions.

All will rejoice to learn that the liberal
hearted Charles Broadway. Rouss may
yet have his sight restored to him and
see the monuments to his generosity in
Winchester. Charles Town and other
places. Noted medical men are deeply
interested in new cure fer the peculiar
disease which has resulted in his blind
ness, and thousands of others will await
the result of experiments for his cure with
anxiety.
George H. Cassidy. the head of the
system of medication by inhalation, de
clares in certain cases blindness can be
cured. In proof of his assertion he pre-
sents the case of John F. Martin, long
known to the public as the substitute "
of Charles Broadway Rouss.
Martin is suffering from white atrophe,
or congestion of the optic nerve, caused
by blood clot Professor Mittendori
and other well-known practitioners say
that the Affections of Mr.. Martin and Mr.
Rouss are identical, and that what will
benefit one will aid the other, although
Mr.. Martin would have the advantage
by reason of his youth.
At the testimony there were present
DIR. w. H. Morse. DR.. Robert FAIRIES
Dr. Francis Michaels, oculist at the State
Hospital at Binghamton; DIR. P. Davis
Schulz and others.
Mr.. Cassidy. the originator of the
treatment, suffers from an organic dis
ease of the heart. He sought relief here
and in Europe and finally studied the
matter for himself. He decided finally
to use ozone, from which the irritable
properties had been eliminated, by inhal
alton. 1t benefited him, and he decided
to attempt its use in the cure of other dis
eases. Mr.. Cassidy says he has found
gas, the properties of which he decline,
to disclose, which will carry medicine By
inhalation into the lungs and from
there though the entire system.
In cases like Martins the patient ha
to undergo daily treatment The eye
are sprayed with solution of Belladonn;
and other drugs, while in the bowl of tn,
inhaling tube, through which the ga
passes, is sponge containing idodide o
potassium.
The physicians present were firm il
the belief that cure can be effected il
Martins case. Martin put on glasse
provided by DR.. Michaels and shouted
with joy because of the relief they afford
ed him.
Mr.. Rouss, Mr.. Smith said, was being
treated by Philadelphia specialist, blu
had given up all hope of regaining hi
sight. He had heard of Martins i'm
provement and would probably try tn,
Cassidy cure if the Philadelphia cure die
not prove beneficial.

Big FIRE a. HaEper,g Ferry.

Five houses were destroyed at Harper's
Ferry on Friday morning by fire. The fire
was discovered about three O'Clock, a. m,
and originated in a vacant house and is sup
posed to be the act of an incendiary. The
buildings destroyed are on High street lust
above Potomac, and on the left hand side of
the street, Immediately north of the stone
steps leading to the Catholic Church. An
engine was run up here about four o'clock.
and the Citizens Fire Company with their
hand engine and number of our citizens
responded and assisted in getting the fire
under control. Fire companies from Mar
hnsburg and Brunswick responded. A short
time ago similar attempt was made to fro
the town, but timely discovery averted tro
catastrophe. 1t is to be hoped the fire bnas
Will be run down and punished severely
The Independent Fire Company of tbis
place could not take their steam engine H..
reason of it being very much out of renal
The loss is estimated as between three and
eight thousand dollars partially covered bv
insurance
Whilst the Independent Company could
not take its steamer, by reason of its he
ing out of repair, yet Capt. Holmes and
his men took reel, and joining with
Capt. Russell and the Citizen COMPANY
both worked together with will. and
did good service in extinguishing the fire.

Mr.. HAINEs:
Dear Sir.-Our club has had four race
meets since its organization, all of which
were quite successful, but the meet OF
July II was the finest we have had
This meet was most beautifully managed,
all due to the untiring efforts and hard
work of Messrs. H. K. Amber and l.. K.
Dinkle, to whom much credit is due. OF
course Secretary Kyle had his hands full
OF advertising, writing to riders and an
swering correspondence, which office he
fills most satisfactorily.
Although the race meet did not pay
out financially, the club will endeavor, if
its races are patronized literally, to have
a race meet once month These races
are held, not to make money, but for the
amusement it affords.
The club heartily thanks those who
helped in various ways; also those who pa
tronized its races. Many thanks to the
band boys who rendered their stirring
airs free gratis. ONE OF THE CLUB.

His Sight Restored.
Jehn Martin, the Substitute for Charles Broad
,0ay Rouss, Can See.
Especial to the Baltimore Americana

Especial to the Baltimore Americana
New YORK, July 14.-The most famous
blind man in this country is being cured.
A reporter who saw John F. Martin, the
substitute for Charles Broadway Rouss,
stone blind a year ago, saw him again to-
day and applied tests which leave no pos
sibility of doubt as to the ability of Mar
tin to see many things. and, more than
that, to his growing ability to see more
things.
The cure is made possible by the dis
covery of a system of medication by in
halation. The system of which George
H. Cassidy is discoverer, has been in use
several years in the treatment of various
diseases, but it has only recently been
used in cases of blindness.
DR.. Mittendorf said to Martin: ANY
treatment that will cure you will cure Mr..
Rouss, but neither you nor Rouss will
ever be cured" Other experts said the
same. Both were suffering from the
same disease-hite atrophy of the optic
nerve.
Martin made an agreement by which
he was to be the dog" on which the
remedies were to be tried. Mr.. Rouss
paid all the medical bills and gave Mar
tin $40 a month for personal expenses.
Since that time Martin has used a thou
sand different remedies for blindness, and
at one time he was using twenty-five
remedies.
Five months ago Cassidy sought out
Mr.. Martin and offered to treat him on
the condition that no reports of the case
were to be made to anybody, not except
ing Mr.. Rouss.
Together they went to DR.. Mittendorf,
who, as Mr.. Cassidy says, made another
examination of Martin and pronounced
him absolutely blind
The treatment began. Martins stom-
ach had been nearly destroyed by the use
of medicines, and he was greatly enact
ated. Ten weeks were used up in build
ing up his system preparatory to the
treatment.
After nine weeks of actual treatment
Martin appeared to-day for the first semi
public test. Those who were present saw
him walk down the hall of Mr.. cassidy's
home, and into the room.
Every person in the audience was asked
to make tests. Martin stood near a win
dow when the light was thrown we'll upon
each observer. He described the dress,
tie, collar, shoes and appearances of the
reporter who stood before him. He
could see coin in the reporters hands.
but could not tell whether it was quar-
ter or half dollar.

race from without the enclosure and conse-

was very small and the promoters of the
races deserved the patronage ofall who were
sufficiently interested to attend. The driz-
