MARVELOUS PHENOMENA.

Blood-Red Rains and a Deluge o: Serpents. At Rome, in 1222, it rained tfuslj ^mixed with blood, for three Jays, an jiMrhen the heavy clouds drifted away i) looked as if the sun was swimming1 i« a sea of fire, says tiio St. Louiri Ro public. Four years later, in 1-26, snow fell in Syria, which presently ^melted and flowed in carmine rivers o' blood, or some fluid much resembling it in every particular. Many of tlx old writers record a three day sliowei ?of blood-red rain in the Island oj •^Rhodes and throughout southern Italj )in 1236. A monk, writing in 1251, tells of a loaf being cut out of which blood flowed as freely as from a fresh wound. In 1318 there were many great tempests. Several towns ant} thousands of people were swallowed up and the courses of rivers changed or stopped. Some chasms in the earth •cent forth poisonous fluids as red a9 carmine ink, as at Villach, in Austria.

Ponderous hailstones fell in many parts of Germany the same year, some 'lof them weighing from twenty to seventy pounds.

At Lamech it rained flesh, dust, comets and meteors: firebrands and eomiscationswere in the air mock suns, with fiery tails, sailed through the skies. Soon after these terrible scenes at Lamech it began at Cataya. near the sen, and went sweeping throughout southern Europe. An ingenious vapor or sulphurous fire broke from the earth it Caahery, Asia, and utterly consumed men, beasts, houses and trees, so injecting the air that a great, plague followed. Youug serpents and millions of venomous insects fell from the clouds.

In 1361 Burgundy experienced the novelty of a shower of blood-red rain, which ensanguined everything it touched and in 1668 the Autiura reapers found all wheat heads to be as rod as blood.

Nearly every pattern of Horse Blanket is imitated in color and style. In most cases the imitation looks just as good as the genuine, but it hasn't the warp threads, and so lacks strength, and while it sells for only a little less than the genuine it isn't worth one-half as much. The fact that

SORROW AND JOY*

A Long Island "Woman Nearly Buries the "Wrong Man.

She Konrni Over the Supposed Body of Her Husband—'That Gentleman Appeared in the Flesh.

Charles Brown and wife live in Long Island City. Charles is an engineer. Yesterday morning he went to work as usual. A few hours later his wife was told that the body of a drowned man resembling her husband had been found in Newton creek, near Hunter's Point. She went to where the body lay, and identified it as her husband. When she recovered from the shock she ordered the body carried to her home. Crepe was hung upon the door. At 7 o'clock in the evening, when Mrs. Brown was weeping over the body of her husband, a step was heard, the door opened and a man walked in. He saw the darkened room and wondered what had happened. "What does this mean?" he cried. Mrs. Brown rushed from the chamber. As soon as she saw who the intruder was she fell fainting into his arms with a cry of "Thank God, my husband."

When she recovered there was joy in the Brown household despite the fact that the corpse ef an unknown man lay dressed for the grave in the front parlor. Mr. Brown looked at the corpse and was surprised to see what a strong resemblance the body bore to himself.

Horrible Sight Presented by a Man Supposed to Have Died-

His Family Move His Remains and Find His Body Frightfully Distorted and Injured.

.• ——"V"\

Two weeks ago'farmer George Heydeck' er, near Erie, Pa., apparently died very suddenly of what was supposed to have been heart failure. The remains were buried four days later, from St. John's Lutheran church, of Erie, and temporarily interred in a neighbor's lot in the Erie cemetery, pendiug the purchase of one by the family. The transfer was made Monday, and when the remains were exhumed the casket was opened at the request of his family, and a horrifying spectacle was presented. The body had turned around, lying on its face, and it and the interior of the casket bore evidence of a terrible struggle with death in its most awful shape. The distorted and blood-covered features bore evidence of the horrible agony endured. The clothing about the head and neck had been torn into shreds, as was also the lining of the coffin. Bloody marks of finger-nails on the face, throat and neck told of the awful despair of the doomed man, who tore his own flesh in his terrible anguish. Several fingers had been entirely bitten off and the hands torn with the teeth until they scarcely resembled those of a human being. v:

THIS IN CIVILIZED ST. LOUIS.

While Mrs. Sadie Kicker and a friend, Mrs. Daly, were passing the corner of Tenth street and Clark avenue, St. Louis, about 8 o'clock Sunday night, Joseph Farley stepped out from a crowd of toughs who were loafing on the corner and struck Mrs. Daly in the face with his clenched first. Mrs. Kicker interfered, whereupon Farley commenced beating her most unmercifully with his fists, and finally, throwing her down, trampled her into an unrecognizable mass of flash. He then jumped into a buggy and drove away, and has not been captured. When the crowd approached tho prostrate form of. ,Mrs. Kicker she was dead.

charcoal TOP IRFLEDLNG,

Grain-fed and especially corn-fed hogs relish a little charcoal mixed with their rations. It corrects the acidity which corn causcs, and. will often bring a cloyed animal back to its feed. Charcoal is also good for fowls. In winter, when snow is on the ground, it fills the gizzard and helps to grind the food. Slightly charring corn before feeding makes it better for producing eggs, though it is better still to substitute a partial ration of whole wheat, which gives material for both the albumen and the shell of the eggs.

The following resolutions were discussed and adopted: The Indiana State Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union, in annual session, demands an immediate chrvstalization into law of the principles hereinafter enunciated, they being imperatively essential to the maintenance and perpetuity of our government as was designed by our fathers in the Declaration of Independence that instead of a government by monopolies and for monopolies, it is a government by the people and for the people. Let us have peace, union, fraternity, friendship and love of country, that will bind us together as one people in name and fact.

Therefore, we denounce every attempt to stir up sectional strife as an effort to conceal monstrous crimes against the people. To this end we heartily indorse the demands of the platforms as adopted at St. Louis, in 1889, and at Ocala, Fla., in 1891, by industrial organizations there represented, part of which my be summarized as follows:

That the right to make and issue money is a sovereign power to fee maintained by the people for the common benefit. The delegation of these rights to corporations is a surrender of the central attribute of the sovereigenty of the government, void of constitutional sanction, and conferring upon a subordinate and irresponsible powan absolute control over the industries and commerce of the Nation.

Hence we demand the abolition of the national bank issues of currency'and as a substitute thereof demand the issue of legal tender treasury notes In sufficient volume to transact the business of the country on a cash basis without damageor special advantage to any class or classing, and such notes to be legal tender for all debts public and private, and when demanded by the people shall be loaned to them at not more than 2 per cent, per annum on non-perishable products, as indicated by the sub-treasury plan, and npon lands, with a proper limitation upon security and amount of money.

We demand a suppression of free railroad passes or other gifts to public officials. VVe denounce our late State Legislature for ignoring the demands of confederated organized labor, and we ntter our condemnation of the extravagance of our National Congress compelling a refunding of the national indebtedness.

We demand equal and fair distribution of the necessary business of taxation on all forms of wealth to be listed at actual value less actual indebtedness.

There were a number of prohibition speeches made, and the liquor traffic received as much condemnation, amid great applause, as at a prohibition meeting. It apparent, however, that no expression destined for public use was made.

NOW ^WB CHILL CHILI-

Reparation Demanded for the Insult to the American Flag.

Likewise Indemnity and Apology T* mantled for the Murder of American^ Sailors.

President Harrison, Secretary Blaine and Secretary Tracy had a long conference Monday in regard to the street fight in Valparaiso, Chili, a few days ago, in which some sailors from the United State8 man-of-war Baltimore were cut or shot and at least one killed outright. Late last week instructions were sent to Minister Egan to ask the Chilian authorities to properly apologize to the United States government, punish the offenders and indemnify the victims. Further steps were discussed at to-day's conference. An ultimatum was probably agreed upon.

The President holds that the assault upon our marines at Valparaiso was an. attack upon the Ameiican flag, as th©j blue uniform of our marines and sailors means the same thing as the flag that i« the national ensign—the emblem of union.' Some of the Cabinet officers have attempted to draw a parallel between the killing of the Italians at New Orleans and the as-' sault at Valparaiso, but the President, holds that there was no resemblance between the two instances. The Italians were domiciled in this country they were engaged in business, and, if not American citizens, claimed protection under State laws, and nothing more could be extended over them. Our marines or sailors at Valparaiso were clothed in the uniform of our country, and were entitled to the protection which the stars and stripes gives our citizens in all parts of the worid. Further than this, they were attacked by men wearing the Chilian uniform, and because they stood for the side of the United' States in contentions affecting the comity of the two nations. The attack upon one of our marines or sailors was the same* under the circumstances, as an attack upon our flag, or portion of our country or one of its institutions. Just as well could the Chilians have shot down one of our navy officers or Minister Egan as one of these privates on the man-of-war Baltimore. The rank of the man or the place of the attack was of no consequence. This fs the position taken by the President in hss instructions to Minister Egan.

NOT THE IMMORTAL J. N-

But Claims to be the Messiah and Immortal.

Visionary Schemed of a Scamp Named Teed, by Which He Expects to Fleece

Innocents.

The celibate society of Economists of Pittsburg, whose wealth has been estimated at §150,0C0,000, have indorsed the doctrine of Cyrus Teed, who wont from the West to interest the members in the new sect of Koreshans, of which Teed isiflxtr"1*^ head. On Saturday night it was decided by the board to support Dr. Teed in whatever way they could. Sunday tho announcement of the proposed change was made to the Economites in church. Teed claims to be a second Messiah, and that he Is immortal. In an interview concerning his plans he said: "I will, in the near fu- -1 ture, establish a sture in Pittsburg on my system of equable commerce. I will es. tablish a big central house in Chicago,and expect my co-operative system to come in to general vogue in ten years. I did not jf come here for their money I want their moral support aud credit. Through their influence 1 expect to bring closer to me the other five celibate societies in this country."

Dr. Teed claims that he will execute many marvelous engineering feats after his ideas once get into power, such as building a six-track railroad across the continent, and cutting a pathway fifty miles wide through the Rocky mountains-

A REIGN OF TERROR.

Bloodshed, Tnder the Guise or Law, Very Common in Mexico.

A reign of terror exists all along the Mexican border of the Rio Grande river, and the inhabitants from over there are flocking into Texas in droves. So frightened are the Mexican authorities that a person even suspected of having intercourse with the Garcia band is arrested, hanged or shot, after which he is tried. The body of a nephew of Julian Flores, a suspected revolutionist, was found swinging to a tree with nineteen bullet holes in it, October 11, about sevon miles below Rio Grande City, on the Mex ican side. He had been arrested, and left for Victoria. No one was bold enough to cut the body down, for fear of meeting a similar fate. Feelipe Salinas, another member of Garcia's band, was caught October 8, and ''removed" in the same way. The soldiers excuse the deaths of these men by saying they were killed under warrant of a state nte entitled "La Ley Fuego." It is a law permitting the shooting of a prisoner who attempts to escape. Under it hundreds ol men have been executed in Mexico within the last five years.
