oplexy.
He spent this morning in his room
and shortly before he was stricken
his wife offered to have his lunch
con sent up to him so that he would
not have to walk down stairs to the
dining-room below. He laughingly
replied that while he did not feel
quite as young as he used to, he
guessed he was not yet an invalid
and he would go down with the
others. AS he finished speaking
and was about to rise he fell back
into his chair. A physician was
Immediately summoned, but when
he reached the house he found that

two daughters were with him when

With Eight Head of Horses and a
Big Lot of Provender.

John Gray, Jr.. four miles from
town on the Fairview pike, lost his
stable and stock barn Thursday
night by fire. About $50 o'clock
the fire was discovered, but too late
to do more than rescue part of
the live stock. BY hard work Mr..
Gray and his assistants saved six
horses. Eight others were burned,
together with large quantity of
hay, corn, bran and harness.
The insurance on the property was
$3.50, $1,000 of which was on the
stock. The insurance will hardly
pay the losses. The origin of the
FIRE is unknown.

John Mclean was defeated in the

the Republican National Convention
OF 1876 gave him national reputa-
ton. In 1877 he declined the mis-
sion to Germany. He was counsel
for the so-called Star route con-
spirators in the celebrated trial
which ended in their acquittal.
Ingersoll was largely in demand
as a campaign orator, but it was
as a lecturer that he was best
known. He was perhaps the most
famous agnostic of his time. He
published numerous books setting
forth his views. He had wonderful
powers of imagery which, aided by
his eloquence, made him most i'm
pressive speaker.

TWO MORE CASES.
The Smallpox Situation Has
Ceased to Excite.
Two New Cases Moved to the
Pest House And the Old Cases
Convalescent.

There have been two new cases
of smallpox developed since our last
report.
A negro girl at Mr. c. F. Jarretts,
near Julien, broke out Saturday
night and was at once moved to the
pest house.
The other case is a negro boy
at Mr.. r. H. Higgins, two miles
west of town. He too was taken to
the pest house yesterday morning.
OF the FIVE cases under treatment
before, all but one are able to be
up. One woman is still quite sick.
Other cases are likely to develop
as the negroes have been circulate
ing freely all over that portion Of
the county after being exposed to
the disease.
There is no truth in the report
started Sunday that there were
some cases at Beverly. There is
also no foundation tor the report
that one or more cases had de-
veloped in this city.
The authorities have the disease
thoroughly in hand and all cases
are taken charge of promptly as
soon as they are found.
The quarantine regulations, how.
ever, should be even more rigid
than now. The disease should be
kept out of town at all hazards,
