Interesting Interview Wttli an Ohio County Gentleman. Mr. L. P. Siaaon, of this county, an ex tensive cattle and sheep raiser and also a wool buyer for many years, in discussing the prospects for the sale ot wool this sea son to a Pittsburg reporter, said: 'The mortality amoag sheep hut season was something fearful. la my own connty hun dred« of sheep literally starred to death. The winter began early, after one of the moat barren harvests in local history. The intense heat of the summer of 1&* 1, tem pered by very few showers and local rains, served not only to affect the crops of corn and oats, bat literally to burn the grass on the ground. The hay crop was exceptionally light. The winter of Ids 54 was a phenomenal one. both in character and the matter of duration. At no time was it pro ti tab le to allow stock to ran at large, which the dearth of food made almost imperative. As early as February the ex actions of the weather had exhausted the scanty stores of the summer and fall. In March nearly every farmer had no proven der for hi* sheep, and they in many in stances were forced to tarn th«m out to die, which they did by scores all over the coun ty and the adjoining county of Washington in Pennsylvania." In response to'a question as to whether sheep were as abundant in Western Penn sylvania, Western Virginia and Eastern Ohio as formerly, Mr. Siason said: "Oh, no. The matter of sheep hnabandry has fallen off very materially within the last five or ten years. Wool does not p*y the same pricea that it formerly did. There is no incentive to farmers to raise it What with Australian, African and other foreign competition, and the development of com petition in Southern States, there is little encouragement for a farmer here who ra>nt raise sheep, feed them and compete Or prices for them and their products in a cli mate that is in all essentials again«: their interests. Farmers have largely tnroad their attention to the culture of other ani mal« aoi are allowing the sh*ep ro go." Mr. SUeon thinks there will be little or no improvement in the price ot wool this v«%r es mach of the c!ip of 1331 is still in the hands of growers. Wkab Lock«'« own make $2 50 shorn. I anj »tyle. J.

Miss Alice Morris Terribly Burned By Oil. Her Injuries Probably Fatal—Her Father Badly Injured in Endeavoring to Extinguish the Flames. A terrible accident, attended with injur ii?8 to a young lady which in all probability will result in ber death, and also with very painful hurts to her father, occurred at the residence ol Mr. Henry Morris, at the south west corner of Thirteenth and Jacob streets, about half past five o'clock last evening The details, as nearly as could be learned last evening, are as follows: Miss Alice Morris, aged sixteen years, 1 was in the kitchen of the residence about the hour named preparing supper, the other members of the family being upstairs, her father on the first floor. Suddenly the latter I was startled by hearing AX ÏXPI.OSIOX in the kitchen, and instiuctively feeling thit ecme terrible accident had befallen his | daughter, he rushed down stairs. The kitchen was filled with smoke, and ou the floor beside the range a <|uantity of blazing oil and broken glasi told the oft repeated story of a lamp explosion. Cri^a of intense •i-.ony from the yard caused Mr. Morris to rush thither, and thpre, under the hydrant, he saw what he afterwards described as A BLAZING BALL OF KIRK —bis daughter. The hydrant was running, wbtther started by the girl in her a^ony, in the hope of extinguishing the Harnes, or na\ing been left running by some one luv inp occasion to use it previous to the acci !♦-i t. no one can tell. Miss Morris had crc uchtd beneath the spout, aud was making frantic efforts to tear her blazing garments from her p®rson. The father sprang to the wcue, and with the assistance of the run airg water and by pulling off his child's garments, succeeded, although suffering •serious injuries himself in the operation, in ijueiiching the fire. l»y this time neighbors had flocked to the sceue, the ti joies of the burning oil in the kitchen were extinguished uud the WRiriUXfi AXI» M0AX1XC VICTIM was carried to her room. messengers bein? »t the same litne despatched f>r medical aid. Two ph\sici:ini responded in a few motrents, and an examination of Mis< Mor ris injuries disclosed burns of a moat fright till character distributed over her entire person from htr head to her feet. She had oeen attired ia a mother Hubbarl, and that ■/arment and her underclothing w.th fhe exception of a tlanuel petti a at, were almost entirely consumed. Her wounds were dressed, and late I if night she was euflering great aijony, with the chances against her recovery, although < her physicians would not hazard a definite opinion until to day. 1 he exact circums nn' es attending the mishap couid not be ùa n d, as Miss Morris, u3 above stated, was alone in the kitchen, and she was of course unable to give any account of the matter. Her father thought, 'rom an examination of the room, that the lamp had been sitting on the mantle, near 'he range flue, unlighted, and that the oil had in some manner became fired from the chimney, the lamp exploding and FALLIXG ("POX HIS PA'.'GilTtS while she stood by the side of the ranze. It :s difficult to conceive, however, how the oil could have been ignited under these circumstances, and the most plausible the ory isthat the unfortunate girl exploded the lamp in attempting to light it. Mr. Morris, in extinguishingthe fire, was fritfhifully burned about the hands and arms, his left hand in particular having about all the skin burned from the palm.

Siu: In reference to the reports as ?o the condition of the cointv Infirmary, I to say that the statements made by me to the ladies of the Christian Association w re no: made with a view to reflect on the former Superintendent. My idea was to po nt out ihe great difficulty, if not the impossibility, of keeping a place inhabited by tha* c'ass of inmates in a thoroughly cleanl/ condi lion. Nearly all the inmates th it come there have more or less lice and b-d bugs on their persons, and it is herdly pissiblo that the building can be kept entirely free from tbem. The place was in a wow con dition than usual at the time I took .'hir^e, bnt this was no doubt due to tb3 fact that Captain Plankey ha 1 for a iong time been seriously i l and unable to give it any attention. I h tve fre quently said to members of the Poor House Committee and to others that the home was left in good condition, considering the cir cumstances and difficulties under which Capt. Plankey's family were placed during the last few months of their occupancy. I have always understood and believed that while the late Superintendent was in good health the house and its inmates were as well taken care of as at any similar institu tion in the country. The people that come there are, as before stated, nearly a ways in a filthy bodily condition, and infected with vermin. A large proportion of them are diseased, some of them being afflicted with ailments of the most loathsome character. Many of them are partially or wholly de mented. and cannot be made to take proper care of their persons or rooms. These facts would make it difficult for the most active roan with all the assistance he could wish to keep the house at all times entirely free from small vermin. I spoke of these matters to the ladies in order that they might perceive the difficulties of the situa tion and not to criticise my predecessor or any one else. There is only one case in which cans are set under the bedposts, and that waï dis covered by the ladies themselves, without their attention being called to it by me. The man is a cranky old follow, and I think placed the cans there out of a mere whim rather than as a protection against bed bufrs. as his room contains but few if any. There are roaches in the house, bnt not in such great numbers as might be inferred by the language of your article in Tuesday's paper. The supply of clothing for furnish ing a change for new comers wa3 a little short, because of the tact that the supply had run down and the nimber of new cornera was unusually Iarfce.

James Maxwell, President of the National Bank of W. Va., Foils Dead of Heart Disease at Nine O'Clock Last Evening—Datai!« of the Sad Affair. James Maxwell, President of 'he Nation al Bank of West Virginia, and one of the beet known of our citizens, expired very suddenly last evening of heart disease. Al though the deceased had complained at va rious limes during the past few wefks of painful sensations in hia chest, over the re gion of the heart, no especial notice had been taken of the supposedly slight disorder by him or Lis family, uud his demise, there fore, wa3 entirely unexpected and proved a terrible shock to his relatives and friends. Mr. Maxwell in attendance upon the meeting of the Board of Kducation last evening where he COMPLAINED TO A Kl'MBER OK MEMBERS of pains in his chest. Ke remained at the rooms of the Board but a short time, asking permission oi the President to retire. Thea, having some business to transact up town, he proceeded to attend to it. The affair being concluded, he stepped into (ieorge Schellhase's grocery, norner of Market and Eleventh sin et«, to wait lor a down town car. Mr. Schtllhase was sitting in a chair at the Market street entrance to his store, and Mr. Maxwell drew up a chair and sat down beside him for a few mo ments' conversation, holding his street car ticket between the lingers ot one hand. Suddenly the deceased put his hand to his left breast and complained of a pain Htfore Mr, Shellhase could do auything tor his relief or call assistance Mr. Maxwell's head fell forward with his hat rolling to the floor. Mr. Schellhase called for help, and ex-Mayor Kgerter and Mr. Charles Tieman, who were on the op posite side of the street ran over. Dr. Mc Maetere was at once notified and responded immediately. When he and Messrs. Kgerter and Tieman arrived Mr. Maxweil was still sitting in the chair, his countenance being Dale and deathlike and his br a h coming in convulsive gasps. The dying man was laid i pon the 'ioor, when he showed signs of retuning consciousness aud Dr. Me M asters t-ndeavored to fau the spark into a flame, but the restoratives applied failed of their obj<ct and after a few moans death ensued Dr. IIupp. «ho had also been summoned at liM, appeared soou after Mr. Maxwell aied, but thv body was by that time cold. Ho'h mtdical gentlemen gave it as their opinion that was the cause of death, and an inquest was r ot considered nfcessary. A la'ge crowd had been attracted to the ppot by the news ot the sad affair, many prominent citizens being present. Intelligence of Mr Max well's death was at once dispatched to his late rehidence, No 2100 Market street, and about 9:43 the bodv wm removed thither, escorted by a r nn!ir of personal friends Deceased was about K.» years of age, and had passed his entire lif«,'rom early "boyhood, in this city.bein? connected at various times with a number of manufacturing, banding and other institutions, and at all times iden tied with the progress and prosperity of the C'ty.
