While It Rained.
Tt was ne:t.r midnight of the fifth day out. and all was peaceful aboard the ark. Wearied by his labors in feeding the animals and navigating the vessel Noah was wrapped in a profound sleep, and his deep, regular snoring seemed to impart a rhythmical cadence to the sou::.! of the rain that beat incessantly upon he deck planks just above his head.
Suddenly there was a eon motion among tho animals. One of the liters had succeeded in thrusting his paw through the galvanized iron wire pari:' ion that separated him from tho hyena and had dug his claws into that interesting eronturo'shido.
There arose a fierce outcry in which all the boasts of prey in that part of tho ark joined, and tho noise roused Noah into partial consciousness. "Japliot," he said, stirring uneasily, "get something to throw and raise tiie window. Tho neighbors' cats are in the back yard again 1"—-Chicago Tribune.

of
Property.
FRANKFORT, Ind., Oct. 9.—What appears to have been a well organized gang of thieves made a raid on the farmers of Jackson township, this county, Monday night. More than a dozen farmers reported losses yesterday of grain, harness, meat, etc. At Cyclone, a village located in this township, the thieves forced an entrance into the only store and carried away nearly everything of value that they could handle.
Altogether, property to the value of $1,000 is missing, and the farmers of the section raided are up in arms but no trace of the thieves has been discovered. Officer Bird of this city is making an effort to get bloodhounds from Kokomo and Darlington, and if successful, will try to run the thieves down. A few nights ago the northeastern part of the county was visited in a similar manner, but the loss sustained was not nearly so heavy.

DISAPPOINtU.
Up Over
Attorney All Broken Their Own Witnesses.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.—After wandering through a mass of unimportant witnesses, the defense in the Durant case yesterday afternoon summoned to the stand two of the most important witnesses that have b^en cidled since the prosecution closed its case. One of the witnesses materially aided the defense, for the fact that upon cross-exam- 's ination he failed to give important tesI timony expected by the prosecution.
The examination of the other witness had only just begun when the court took a recess for the day, but in ilie short time the witness was "on the stand he testified to one irrnorfa"fc v'hicii was directly opposed to what the defence had noped co establisn.
The most important witness of the day was Charles T. Lenahan, the young man whom the defense contends was mistaken for Durant by Pawnbroker Oppcuheim Lenahan, who doe?, not b«. or a striking re^nmblanoe to the prisoner, said on Ay til 3 he attempted to pawn a small diamond ring, similar to the one worn by Blanche Lamont, at Oppenheim's shop. The witness said tnar he asked Oppemieim the same questions and received the same answers that Oppenheim quoted in IV1^' ting the conversation he had with the young man whom Oppenheim testified was D-..i.iw5. Tncn cume the ourprises to the dciense which counteracted nearly ail oi the strength gained from the witnesses' testimony. Lenahan said he tried to pawn the ring in the afternoon, while Oppenheim testified that Durant entered his siiop in the morning.
Attorney Duprey was considerably disconcerted by the statement of the witness and endeavored to impeach Lenahan's testimony by reading a letter wntter by Lenahan to the attorney for the delense in which ho divulged the fact that he had tried to pawn a small diamond ring at Oppenheim's on the same day Durant was said to have entered the place. The court interrupted Duprey, however, and refused to let him read only such parts of the letter as referred to the question in issue. Duprey then asked that the letter be admitted in evidence, and at the close of the struggle over this move, court adjourned for the day.
The court refused 'o admit the whole letter IM evidence as home passages were devoted to the expression ot the writer's opinions as to the correctness of Oppenheim's testimony. The remainder of the letter was admitted.
In the case of Miss Carrie Cunningham, a newspaper reporter, who refused to disclose the source of certain information relative to the nature of Mrs. Leak's testimony, Judge Murphy ruled that the witness was right in refusing to answer the questions. Miss Cunningham was therefore not punished for contempt.

Men iojuivd
Philip Fesburg, fireman, scalded. John Clarlc, workman, scalded and injured by debris.
William Kelly, miner, scalded and cut by debris. John Malone, miner, injured about the body.
Michael Ryan, injured by falling debris. The explosion which occurred in engine house No. 3 shook the little mining village.

Fesburg was also knocked some feet away from the wreck.
Two hundred feet from the engine house was a building under course of construction. Malone and Ryan were on watch there.

The damage to the mine's property amounts to about $10,000. The cause of the explosion is unknown, as the boiler is said to have been a new one, and to have contained plenty of water.
