A panic prevails .in that Dortion nr
county, w . va.. lying along Syca
more Creek, arising from the friehtfnl
. .... .
ravages of a strange and fatal disease
which has broken out among the few
inhabitants of that locality. So far
about fifty persons have been attacked,
of whom a score have already died.
The local physicians seem powerless
to afford rel tef . The Weekly Progress
says:'
"Every hour brings the sad news of
another death. At first the malady
was uuougni wi oe nux, nut it Is now
believed to be another and more" fatal
disease. A vague, horrible , fear has
begun to fill the breasts of some. It
may not be cholera, but the symptoms
are very much like it. An Instance of
the fatal effects of the disease is aflorded
by the family of Justice Sizemoro,- a
walUknown citizen. Three of his sons
are already dead, and as thev lie in
their coffins three more are writhing
J . . . .
auu screaming witn me awiui torture
which carried off the others. We have
been unable to learn the exact number
of deaths, but the reports are most
alarming. It is chiefly confined to
children, who are attacked and die
within an hour," seemingly paralyed
wiiii pain.
This time it occurred in theorlb,
in the loyal town of the truly loyal
State of Pennsylvania. Read this:
Yokk, Pa.. August 31. A commo
tion was caused in the Evangelical
church at Winterstown, this county,
a m .
ounuay morning, a no pastor nau
announced that he would preach a
memorial sermon on General Grant .
A man. named Fulton, said no such
sermon should be preached. When the
pastor. Kev.'Mr.Sbultz, began the ser
mon, he made a reference to the heroes
of Bible times and then spoke of our
beloved hero just put in his last resting
place. Fulton called out to mm to stop
at the same time advancing to the pul
pit. The preacher continuing. Fulton
seized him and dragged him away from
the pulpit, striking him a blow with
his fist and knocking him down.
Simon Englebrecht, who interferred
to save the pastor from assault, re
ceived one of Fulton's blows in his
face There was great excitement and
after a time order was restored and the
services proceeded. Fulton, it is re
ported this morning, has skipped over
the line to the stale of Maryland.

Mortuary Report
Dr. F. W. Potter, Superintendent
of Health, has submitted his report for
the month ended August 31st, 1885,
from which we find the number ot
deaths during the time mentioned to be
as follows :
Of whites there were 4 males and 4
females, making a total of 8; and of this
number 6 were adults and 2 were chil
dren. Of colored there were 21 males
and 10 females, making a total ol 31;
and of this number 13 were adults and
18 were children. Thi3 makes an ag
gregate of 39. but of this number 1 was
drowned, 1 died of old ago, 5 were still
born, which leaves only 32 as the actual
number of deaths from disease. The
actual number of deaths for the corres
ponding month last year was 52, or 20
more than in the month just passed.
Opora IIouso.
There was a large audience at the
Opera House laab night to vritnoea tho
performance of Hartley CaupboH's cele
brated play, entitled "My Partner," by
tho Standard Dramatic Company, and
all present were highly pleased with
the efforts of the acton. The leading
parts, and especially Mary Brandon,
by Alice Irving, Joe Saunders, by A.
M. Hamilton, and Wing Lee, by S. B.
McElreth, were very well impersonated
and had the house in full sympathy
with them from the start We have
seen much poorer acting when the
prices of admission were four times as
large, and wc are glad that our citizens
have beeu furnished with a means of
amusement at prices within the reach
of all, and hope that the day of extor
tortionato prices has passed.
The "Two Orphans" will be present
ed to-night, and if it is not rendered
mifth better than when we last saw it
here, at dollar prices, it will bo poor
indeed. .

? The schooner Isaac L. Clark, which
vent ashore on Stump Sound several
months ago, and after remaining -there
about two'months, was gotten off and
brought up to this port, and sold at
auction a few days since, is now under
going thorough repairs at the ship-yard
of Capt. S. W. Skinner, in the southern
section of the city. She has been . for
some time on the marine railway for
such repairs as were necessary under
the water line, but was launched yes
terday, and' now lies at the wharf at
the ship-yard. That she i3 a staunch
and well built vessei is shown by the
fact that with all the buffeting of the
waves while upon tho beach not one of
her knees nor any of her planking or
timbers were started, and all of these
are as good as ever they were. She has
been re-trenailed throughout, her keel
son has been re-bolted, and she will be
re-caulked and will have a new tran
som. There is not a timber nor a
plank in her that is not entirely sound.
Some of her inner planking has been
taken out to allow of tho removal of
the large quant ties of fine sand which
had beaten in where the caulking had
given away. Her cabin will be remod
elled and when completed will be large
and roomy. The Isaac L. Clark is
318 tons burthen and was bought by
Capt. R. H. Beery, who contemplates
using her as a general freighting ves
sel between this city and Baltimore.
The work is being done under the su
pervision, of the veteran ship-builder,
Capt. B. W. Beery.
