An Iowa Girl of Slxreen Men In tbe Arm ol Her Lover. Keokuk (Iowa) Gate City. About 9 o'clock last night the family of John J. Bail, living two miles east of this city, was thrown into in tense excitement and despair by the sudden death of an only daughter, Mis3 Minnie Kail, 16 years of age. The young lady was in the parlor at the time in company with Charles Gray, her affiance. It seems from the state ment of Mr. Gray, which was given with broken sobs and tears, that the two were seated on a lounge and he vas urging her to name an early day for their wedding. The girl was coy and bashful and hesitated about it. But the lover was importunate and sought in every way to induce a com pliance with his wishes. At last she consented, saying: "I will marry you in April." In the excitement and joy of the moment Mr. Gray threw his arms around her waist and drew her to him with a quick, passionate embrace. He was not conscious of exerting un usual strength and does not believe that he did. But the girl gave a sharp scream, and exclaiming "Oh I Charley, I'm gone!" fell dead in his arms, her head resting on his shoulder. His frantic cries alarmed the family, who came rushing into the room to nnd the pitiful sight of the dead girl lying pale ana inanimate in her lover s arms. A. messenger was dispatched posthaste for Dr. Hale, who arrived within an hour. But nothing could be done. The young lady was beyond all human aid. It is the opinion of the physician that heart disease was the immediate cause of the girl's death. She was frail and delicate and had long complained of trouble with her heart. The excite ment incident to her conversation with her lover had probably superinduced the attack; wnicn led to her premature death. JNaturally the iamily are over whelmed with grief and young Gray is almost beside himself with horror and despair. Miss Minnie was a very hand some young lady and was well known in the society circles of this city. She was extremely delicate and possessed a slender frame which succumbed to the slightest attacks of ill-health. ITIR. VANRERBILT RESIGNS. No Longer Interested Stocks In Telcgrapb The board of directors of the West ern Union Telegraph Company held a meeting Saturday and accepted the res ignation or William i. vancteroiit and Samuel F. Barger. Frederick L. Ames, of Boston, was elected to fill one of the vacancies. .Nothing was done in re gard to the other for the reason that Mr. Vanderbilt's resignation was not expected before July 1, and no steps were taken to provide an acceptable substitute. Mr. Vanderbilt gives a rea son for his action that his interest in the company is at present so slight as not not to warrant him in giving the time reauired by his duties as director. Privately he is stated to have said that he would have resigned some time-ago, but he was afraid if he did so it would be thought to signify that he disap- troved of the consolidation. He con- seouentlv waited until the deal had been consummated. Mr. Ames com- " . Dletes the five representatives of Jay Gould who were to be made members of the directory under the terms of the contract, the others being Mr. Gould himself. Gen. Eckert, Sidney Dillon and Russell Sage. To a reporter, Mr. Van derbilt said his resignation from the Western Union dircetory was not of any particular significance whatever, and did not arise from any other motive than his desire to rid himself of the trouble of attending meetings of the hoard. Ud to two months since he had been heavily interested in the stock of the company, but had since sold the greater part of it, and his holdings were now Iignt. or two montns neuau ueeu unable to attend any meeting of the board of directors, and as he had now a nnmber of other matters of his own that reauired his attention, he simply concluded to resign. That was the be ginning and the end of the whole mat ter. A Corner in Women. New York Herald. Contrary to expectation and prece dent the new census shows that in this nonntrv the ruder sex outnumbers the antler to the extent of nearly a mil linn. It is to be sincerely hoped that nobody will say "What are you going to do about it V" for this is manifestly one of the cases in which there really is nothing that can be done, except to feel uncomfortable, foT the condition is not merely accidental and tempory ; it nrnmises to be permanent, for the dis couraging misDroportion is not simply hetwpen adults of the two sexes, but includes the entire population all the wav frnm extreme age down to the cradle, and this in spite of all that Mor mnns and other agencies for theimpor tai.inn nf domestic servants have done r.n make the balance even.

A storv of almost incredible endur ance and fortitude comes from the far West with the reports of floods and snow storms. Three men, including E. D. N. Cooke, superintendent of the stage line, started from on xetterman, on the Upper North Platte River, for Rock Creek Station, on the Union Pacific. Railroad, on a buckboard drawn by tw powertui norses. rne snow was railing fast and drifting badly, and befere they had reached tne 22-mne station thby had completely lost the trail, and-'the horses were sunered to wander about, guided only by their own instinct. After a time tney lert tne Duckooard behind them and endeavored to push forward on horseback. At one point Mr. Foote was nearly killed by his horse, which fell backward into a snow drift eight feet deep. After-this the horses were abandoned and the men straggled along oh foot; hands, faces and feet being badly-frozen. The three men had three sacks ot man ana a can vas overcoat The first man would stand on his mail-sack and throw the coat ahead of him, allowing him to take one step, then each man would toiiow on, step by step, and the last man, pick ing up tne tourth s Dag, would neare it ahead for the first one to step on. In this way they made something like three miles, and when the third night set in they began calling for help, and in nair an hour or so were answered. Utner calls were made, and they were again answered by the firing of a gun, but the wind was so strong they could not form any idea of the direction it came from. Again and again they called, and finally a light was seen, and in an nour and a hair tney made tne last quarter of a mile, finding them selves at the stage station, :25 miles from the starting point. The driver had to be dragged the last quarter of a mile, and Mr. Foote-says: "When I knew that I was safe it seemed impos sible for me to walk. I fell down twice in making the last few yards from the stable. I had no strength to walk, and after entering the barn I could not eat." THE BANK OF ENULAND. How the Great Machine is Managed. At a banquet given by the Lord May or of London to the directors of the Bank of England on the evening of February 28, Mr. Birch, the governor of the bank, made some interesting re marks on the management or that great machine of exchange. The busi ness transacted by tne liaDK or Eng land had no parallel with that of any other establishment in the world, inas much as it combined with an ordinary banking business the management of the national debt and the issue and payment of the greater portion of the note circulation or tne country, borne idea of the magnitude of that work might be formed when he told them that there were no less than 236,500 ac counts open in the public funds ; that the number of bank notes issued dur ing the last year was above 1550,000, representing a sum of 338,000,000, and a similar aniounfceanceled, an accurate register of each operation being kept, so that any note paid into the bank du ring the last 5 years could be produced witnin a milium or iwo, wnu miorina tion as to the channel through which it had found its way back to the bank, al though the register represented 77,000,- 000 notes, stowed away in 14,500 boxes. If stitched end to end these notes would extend 12,500 miles. It was generally thought that the bank was extrava gant in canceling the notes which come in, but the matter had been well con sidered, and it was calculated that if they were to keep a register of the notes in the way it was the custom of the bank to do, the system they follow ed was the cheapest. The last four years had not been without moments of anxiety to the banking world, and the autumn of 1878 must be fresh in the memory of most of them. The Bank of England was in a satisfactory position at the time, and the knowledge that they could lend a hand to outraged credit in case of need might not have been without its influence. From the position he had occupied he naturally watched with anxiety the crisis pro duced by the failure of the City of Glasgow Bank, and he could not but congratulate the banking community in general upon the admirable manner in which they had weathered the storm. Fire at Norfolk, Va Burning; of Cot ton Compress Works and Other Bailding-s, dec. Nokeolk, Va., " March 27. To-night about seven o'clock a most destructive fire broke out amongst the cotton stored in the storeroom of the Virginia Com press Works, on the Boston steamship wharf, and soon the whole establish ment, together with eight hundred or a thousandjDaies ot cotton, was uesuuyeu. A (rale of wind was blowing and all the property adjacent, including the offices of the coal yards, and docks went with the Compress Works. Across the street, a brick block belonging to Major Edward Bradford was destroyed. The roofs of the Atlantic Hotel and the vari- mis re.sidences between Granoy street and the wharf . and on Main street as far up as the Landmark office, were on fire from the sparks, but were saved through the exertions of the firemen and others. The shipping near was more or less injured, but hauled out in time to escape destruction. The docks of the Boston Steamship Compahy were considerably damaged. The loss will be very severe, probably over$l00 000. The property is generally insured! The Compress Works belonged most ly to a New York Company, and was erected at a cost of $75,000. The losses are stated as follows : Harway's com press and cotton shed, $38,000 ; 800 bales of cotton belonging to the Greek cotton house of Ralli Bros., $40,000; 150 bales of cotton belonging to the Greek cot ton shipper Negroponte, $7,500, ana damage to the Boston wharf and Ware l 11 nTi'n nrVmf dfcO AAA An6ther Candidate. dtii ia nm maloritv the people of the United States have declared their faith in Kidney-Wort as a remedy lor au me diseases o uio uuuej mu nver, some, however, have disliked -the trouble of nrenaring it from the dry form.
