TO BRIEF ILLNESS.

PARKBRsBuRG, Oct. 23.-Captain
Albert Kinchloe Leonard, aged 20
years, and one of the best known resi-.
dents of the city died at his home on
Sixth street near the B. and o. depot
last evening at $50 o'clock, after an
illness of two weeks Of Brights dis.
ease.
1t was just two weeks ago that Mr..
Leonard on going to his home COM
planned Of feeling badly, but no alarm
was occasioned at that time, as seem.
ingly he was suffering from bronchial
trouble. His condition later became
worse and a physician was called.
Even then he appeared to be only
slightly i'll, and it was not until a few
lays 1fFerwa Is that Il vas ascertain.
ed that he was suffering with Brights
disease. On learning this Mrs. Leon.
ard, who was visiting her daughter
Mrs. R. C. Maxwell, OF Trenton, N. j,
was wired to come home.
From that time on Captain Leonard
gradually grew weaker and on We'd
nesday Of last week became uncon.
scious. Other physicians were then
called, but they gave no hope Of saw
ing his life. From Wednesday on un-
til his death, Captain Leonard never
regained consciousness and breathel
his last with his wife and family at
his bedside. The physicians had been
with him constantly and everything
known to medical skill was exorted
to, but in vain.

MoRGANToWN, Oct. 23.- Major
c. D. Elliott, who for some weeks
past has been negotiating for the pur,
chase of the Parkersburg Dispatch,
News, has Withdrawn his offer, AMI
his deal has been declared of, as the
parties interested could not get to-
gether on the proposition.
Rumor has it, however, that Colonel
c. B. Kefauver and Attorney John
Marshall have a desire to enter the
newspaper field, and, If the deal goes
through they will be in charge of the
plant. Colonel Kefauver has had
some experience in newspaper work,
and is a very forceful writer. Mr..
Marshall is a son Of Senator Oliver
Marshall, a graduate Of Yale and w.
". u, and is a natural politician.
There is a probability that the deal
will be closed. The parties interested
have had several conferences In re-
gard to the matter.

Mildred Holland as special attraction
I played to a fair house at the Grand
last night. It is impossible to say that
the play made a hit or that 1t was a
frost for opinion varied on the matter
no some the play was fully up to their
anticipatlons while others were greatly
disappointed. Miss Holland, who had
been iteralded so widely as an actress
above the average, proved to be ordi
nary and in the minds of many she
was completely out shone by Alma
\ Chester who took the part of Isabella
Countess of Kenmore. Miss Chester
was very strong in the second act
though she weakened in the mad scene
which was probably more the fault Of
her lines than lack Of ability. Miss
Grace Young as Brunetta did clever
work. Miss Holland wore several
gorgeous gowns and the staging of the
production was excellent.
