piled for life insurance policy recent

the application for list of former SICK

Died TAis Morning at Hotel In E4Ot
Springs where He was Staying.
The very sad news reached our
city this morning stating that a
gentleman by the name of Dennis
DAILY had died this morning at a
hotel Ii Hot Springs, Ark. Mr..
James Heneghan, partner Of Mr..
DAILY, says he has no doubt but
what this Is Our we'll known citizen
and his partner. 1t IS generally
known that Mr.. DAILY has not been
enjoying good health for long
time, and some weeks ago he went
to Hot Springs to try and recuper-
ate. He was sick from stomach
trouble which effected his heart;and
1t Is supposed he passed away
quickly this morning from heart
disease. His remains will be ia
ken to Elmira, N. Y, which was
his former home, and where his
mother, two sisters and brother,
who survive him, reside. He was
about 48 years of age and came
here during the early oil excite
ment. He and Mr.. Heneghar
built and own the Heneghan &
Daily block at the corner OF
Wells and Charles street. Mr..
Daily devoted almost his en-.
tire attention to the oil business
and was quite successful. He was
an honest man, quiet, attentive to
business and had many warm
friends In this city He was
a prominent member Of the Elks of
this city, who will later on make ar
engagements about conducting his
funeral. Mr.. DAILY was a liberal
contributor to the Board of Trade,
and did all he could to secure To-
duisries In this city. In his death,
the city loses a good citizen, and
one whose presence will be sadly
missed. We will publish complete
particulars as soon as we can secure
data. May his remains rest In
peace.

Several days ago the Review
published an account of fata
fire. which destroyed the home
of H. J. Milton near Smith6eld
Wetzel county. The Smithfel6
DERRICK and Short Line News
gives the following details of the
affair:
The most appalling disaster ir
the history of the town occurred al
1890 last Friday night at the resi-
dence of Henry Milton, near the
Morgan boiler house, one mile and
half east of this place. While nc
one knows the cause Of the explos-
lon, 1t Is supposed that gas jet In
the kitchen was blown out In some
manner and that the escaping gas
gathered and caught fire from a
burning jet In the room adjoining.
In any event an explosio OF
great force occurred and the build
ing was filled with flames giving the
unfortunate occupants no time to
ESCAPE. All were badly burned.
The baby, little girl 9 months
old, was so badly burned that death
relieved the little sufferer at Sis
the following morning.
Miss Mary Milton, sister of H.
J. Milton, died at $50 Sunday eve
ming.
The house and all Its contents
were burned In about half an hour.
The tent and belongings of Palmer
Campbell and family were also con-
sumed.
At this writing Mr.. and Mrs.
Milton are resting easy with hopes
of recovery. The two year cid son
will recover.
The force of the explosion was
SO great that part of the kite hen
was blown across the creek. A
telephone pole which stood be-
tween Millions residence andCamp.
bells tent kept a section of the
kitchen from falling on 1t, and thus
saved Campbell's children from be.
lug killed.
Mr.. Milton is an industrious, hard
working young man, and has met
with many reverses while here.

They are much esteemed as soldiers
by the negro tribes among whom they
dwell and whom they frequently serve
as mercenaries. They are in the hab-
it of exchanging the products of the
chase with their negro neighbors for
arrows and lances, but use no other
implements, a sharp arrow fulfilling
the purpose of knife. They possess
no vessels of any description, drink
ing water from the streams in the hol-
low OF the hand. Although they will
eat almost any animal substance, in
elusive of lOcusts and white ants, they
have the saving virtue that they are
not cannibals, and they never use salt
Their only method of capturing fish is
by Gamming off some portion of a
stream or pool and then laboriously

are left in the mud.

BRIDGE BUILC,NG IN AMERICA.
This Country Leads the World in
Cheap and Safe Construction.


Cheap and Safe Construction.
All existing railroad spans of more
than 500 feet have been built since
1870, and probably more in America
than in the rest of tIe world all to-
gether, and certainly these are much
better and cheaper and have been
more rapidly and safely constructed
than those of any other country. In
a word, American engineers have
built most of the greatest and most
difficult bridges in the world, and in
less than half century, largely with
in the last quarter century, have de-
veloped the art of bridge building to
a perfection that no other sort of con-
struction has reached in hundreds of
years. They have brought it to prac-
tical limits that cannot be greatly ex-
tended until sore radically new ma
terial is provided that is notably
stronger, cheaper or lighter than
steel. This is the triumph of the pro-
fession or bridge ngineer:ng.-The
Century.
