SUMPTION AT THE AGE OF
SEVENTEEN.
VALUABLE DOGS SUCCUMB TO THE
WILES OF THE POIs-
ONER.

WEI1LSBURG, W. Va, February g.
Herman Arbogast, aged seventeen
years, died at the home of his parents
in Lazeaville yesterday morning at
five o'clock, from consumption, after a
lingering illness He was also one of
the unfortunates who were in the nitro
glycerine explosion at Lazearyille
some time ago, which fastened his
death. The funeral will take place
from the family residence tomorrow
morning, interment in Brooke ceme-
terry
The funeral of William K. Nangle
took place from his late residence on
North Charles street yesterday after
noon, and was largely attended. The
l. o. o. F. had charge, the whole lodge
attending in a body, as also did the
Bricklayers' international Union No.
IA, of Steubenville, and Company G,
list Unfit. w. Va. National Guard. The
first and last mentioned bodies march
ed to the cemetery the Bricklayers
leaving on the 4:25 train for home.
At the cemetery the services were
abridged on account of the cold wealth
or. Nevertheless large crowd was at
The grave, where a few short prayers
were said, and the honors of war con-
ferred and all that's mortal of this
popular man were laid >way till the
crack of doom.
The funeral of Eli Adams, who died
Thursday morning, took place this al
ternoon at three o'clock, there being
large number in attendance. Mr..
Adams followed the express and dray-
age business for a number of years,
was a member of Co. K, 18th, w. Va.
Inf during the civil wa, and was a
kind husband and father. His wife,
two sons and two daughters survive
him.
Wellsburg's mortuary list for the
week just ending is far in excess of
any former week for years, where the
cause was other than from accident.
And strange to say those dying rep
resent all ages of life, except infancy.
Herman Abrogast a young man just
in the bloom of life, called away by
the ravages of consumption, William
Nangle, in the zenith of his manhood,
receives a slight blow on the head,
O. blood clot forms, and the vital spark
goes back to Him who gave it; Eli
Adams, at middle age, when man
should be at full bloom, succumbs to
grip and leaves lifes fitful scenes for
Never, and last Miss Katharine Mozart
ney, old and full of years, having lived
her allotted time, is called to her &C
count; and thus we well may say:
What a chimera is man. what a con-
fused chaos; what a subject of con-
tradiction, a professed judge of all
things, and yet a feeble worm of the
earth, the great depository and guar
\6ian of TRUTH and yet mere huddle
bNncertaintyN the glory and the scan
DIAL Nof the universe.
Some miscrealnt who has little feel
ing and less brains, and tits hoped will
one day get his reward, is out with
his dog poison again. This time the
valuable terrier of Col. w. w. Beall is
the victim. Mr. Beall thought a great
deal of Dan" as he was called, as did
also all who CHANGED to know him. He
being playful and harmless as a kitten,
It's strange he should be ciphered out
as a victim from a street full of worth
less ours.
