Teek. who ran for Governor on the Pepulist ticket In 1S02 and headed the Georgia delegation at St. Louis, makes a significant statement to the Atlanta Journal to-day. It is as follows: "It was understood with the Democrats that If the Populists would nominate Mr. Bryan for President and a Southern Populist for Vice President that Mr. Sewall would retlro from the race, err. In other words, that he (Mr. Sewall) would be taken down and that our candidate for Vice President should bo placed on the ticket with Mr. Bryan. With this understanding Mr. Watson was unanimously nominated, livery State In the Union supported him except South Carolina, ind it was not represented. This was the broad ground an which the Democrats and Populists met. Having been deceived by promises we made It a certainty on our part and reversed the rder of the business and nominated the Vice President first. Senator Jones, chairman of the national Democratic committee, was there, together with many prominent Democrats from many different parts of the United States, urging this course for the success of financial reform. We did rot indorse Mr. liryan, but made our platform and nominated him thereon for President by over a two-thirds vote of the convention. Mr. Watson's nomination was irreeted with as long and loud outbursts of enthusiasm as was Mr. Bryan's, and 1 beg to say now that there is but one course to pursue if rood faith k to goverif this union of silver forces, viz.. Watson electors must he put tip by the Democratic party from Maine to California. It would be a lack of tldellty to ask or do otherwise. In the South, yea. In Georgia, it would be an unpardonable sin and unfaithfulness on the part of the Democratic party, and the popie will hold it responsible for the reswlt." HoDRrr tor ttie domination. ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 1. Rev. Dr. J. B. Gambrell. who has been prominently mentioned for Governor on the Popullst-Pro-hlbltion fusion ticket, telegraphed the Journal to-day that ho will not run on the ticket Elm-ply to bo Governor of Georgia, but that he would do anything from climbing a tree to acting Governor to smash the saloons and tq put Georgia on a safe moral foundation. This is understood to mean that Dr. Gambrell will accept the nomination by the Topullsts at their State convention next week. If they incorporate a Prohibition plank In their platform. SENATOR II ILL. LAUGHS. Admits that III Amendment to Modey Plank Was Clever Panned. pedal to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Aug. l. a curious controversy has arisen over the resolution offered by Senator Hill at the Chieago convention whereby the change to the silver standard which was favored In the Chicago platform, was not to affect debts and contracts made prior to the passage of the lC-to-1 free-coinage law. This resolution was drawn up by Mr. John P. Poe, of Baltimore, one of the Maryland delegation, and was heartily advocated by hfm at the night session of the committee on resolution?, of which he was the Maryland member. It was defeated in the committee, of course, but at his request Senator Hill offered it in the convention the next day. The resolution was read to the convention, but that body having already set it3 heart upon the socialist and free-silver features of the platform, was mad for repudiation as well, and the resolution was almost drowned by Jeers and laughter and hissing. There was not even the formality of a roll call, and everyone who was present: at the convention agrees that the resolution was lost. v Comes there now the surprising statement that in the official report of the convention this resolution of Mr. Poe, offered by Senator Hill, was adopted. Colonel EdWard - B. Dickinson, the official stenographer of the convention, states positively that the resolution was adopted. It reads as follows: "It should be carefully provided by law, at the same time, that any change in the monetary standard should not apply to existing contracts." To settle the controversy, which would be ludicrous If it wero not so Important, n telesrram was sent to Mr. Dickinson directing his attention to the discrepancy between the generally accepted newspaper report of the platform and the official repont given out by him. .Colonel Dickinson replied by wire from Wolfbora, N. H.. where . he is spending the summer: "Convention adopted without roll call Hill contract plank; only one of his" adopted. I was Instructed to place at end of financial plank." In view of the fact that Senator Hill Ftates in a most positive way what every one who was present at the convention knows to be true namely, that his resolution was defeated without the formality of a roll call the interesting question sugpests Itself, how did the resolution get into the platform? It is just possth!e that Colonel Dickinson's teiegnun furnishes the solution of rbe riddle. "I was instructed to flace at end of financial plank." lie 'pays, t is by no means unlikely that Colonel Dickinson was instructed by the managers of the Democratic convention when they realized that the defeat of this resolution to preserve the integrity of all existing obligations and contracts would inevitably bring on the Democratic party the charge of repudiation.

The campaign in Alabama came to a close to-night and all sides are predicting victory in Monday's election. Capt. Joseph E. Johnston.

He makes the statement that the fuslonists will carry every county in whiTrh there is a -white majority, except perhaps three. William Vaughan. State Republican chairman, says the negroes and Republicans will vote for Goodwyn to a mn.

California FulonUta Troposc to Employ WIIHamirii Plan. EpecUl to th In-llanapolis Journal. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. l.-The following fusion plan for California, adaptable also to many other States, approved by Colonel Grossman. Mazuire and other Democratic leaders, has b-en submitted f to Chairmen Jones and Cutler, of the national Democmic and Populist commit, by Frank K. Lane, formerly managing editor of the TacOma News, new art attorney of this city. Thft purpose of this plan Is tosecure the fuIFvote of both Democratic and Populist cixtica for lir. Bryan, while allowing to

each full opportunity to bring out the party strength for its vlee presidential nominee. California having nine votes 4n the Sectoral College, the State committees of both parties should agree upon one electoral ticket. Composed 6f both Populists and Democrats. The number of each on the ticket U of little consequence, as .there were at the last election about half as many Populist votes as Democratic. The electoral ticket might be made up of six Democrats and three Populists, but the number of each, as will b shown later, is cf no importance. This electoral tleket of Democrats and Populists shall be voted for by both parties on the understanding that If the Populist cast more votes In the State than the Democrats the electoral Democruts and Populists shall vote for Mr. Watson for Vice President. The strength of the two parties can be Judged by their vote on some State office on which party lines are drawn. The only State official voted for in California at this election is the Lieutenant Governor Let it be agreed between the State committees and the electors that if the Democratic vote for Lieutenant Governor 13 greater than the Populist vote for the same office the nine electors shall vote for Bryan and Sewall, or If Populists outvote Democrats, that all nine shall vote for Uryan and Watson.

CANTON SILVnRITKS. One of tlie Speaker Kxcled Concern inx IHn Xelsb.lior McKlnley. CANTON, O.. Aug. 1. Secretary John Harmony, of the Free Silver Club, which has been advertised for several days to be forming here after an organized canvass, says pver 150 persons have pledged themselves to become members. Mr. Harmony 13 ex-secretary of the Democratic county campaign committee. He furnished the following copy of a telegram to Mr. Uryan to-night: "To the Hon. W. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb. The Uryan Free Silver Club of Canton. O., organized Friday, July SI, sends greeting to their standard bearer, and gives assurarce that the people of Canton, O., regardleas of previous party affiliations, will give to him their cordial support. This contest is one of principle, and in it we will labor for the triumph of Justice and the Constitution, believing that herein lies national honor and national prosperity." Mr. McGregor, who signs as president, is the Democratic member of the Board of Flections. The meeting of the club was attended by Populists and Democrats. A dlspuate arose over Se wall's name. The club Is the outcome ef an effort to fuse the Democratic and Populist votes. This Is Gen. J. S. Coxey's home county. At the last congressional election .he received more votes than Edward S. Itaff, Democratic nominee. Attorney C. Turin Meyer, in referring to the paying ef government bonds in gold issued under President Cleveland, concluded the last speech of the meeting by saying: "It fs th anarchy of capital despoiling the poor. It Is worse than treason. It Is treason to humanity, and the man who advocates this great act of repudiation and spoliation, no matter if it is McKinley on Market-fltreet Jiill, Is guilty of a treason as reprehensible and infamous as that of Jeff Davis himself." NIAGARA'S SEW 1MIIDGJ2. The Projected Structure Will De One ef the Wonders of the World. Railroad Gazette. The new metal arch bridge at Niagara Falls will be noteworthy in two respects. The new bridge is to be built over the old suspension structure, without interruption to the traffic on the latter. The span from end pier to end pier win be S40 feet, making it the largest arch span in the world. The suspension bridge now In use, which has been familiar to ail visitors to the great natural wonder for forty years, will be kept in place until the new areh is ready, as it would be impossible to construct false works over the Niagara gorge to sustain a structure of this class. The span will have a rise of 150 feet from the level of the piers at the fkewbacks to the center of the ribs at the crane of the arch, which roint is 170 feet abav low water. The depth of the trusses is M feet, and they will be 68.7 inches apart. The bridge will carry one floor, 45 feet wide, divided longitudinally Into three parts. On the middle portion, which Is 22 feet 9 inches wide, will be two trolley tracks. Each side of these tracks will be a roadway for car rlages i feet wide, and outside of these, raised 6 inches from the level of the roadway, will be footpaths. The construction of this remarkable span Is from the pians of I. L. Buck, engineer of the new Last-river bridge between New York and Brooklyn, and the author of the plans by which ths railroad suspension bridge at Niagara was replaced by an arched bridge. The approacnlng or flanking spans will be 100 feet long on the American side and 210 feet on the Canadian side. The total metal In the new structure will' be about 4.009,000,pounds. Kvery confidence is expressed in Mr. Buck's ability to carry out his plans. The replacing of the railroad bridge by another without an hour's- Interruption or business was one of the engineering feats of the decade. Those who have not seen the great structure at Niagara which it Is intended to replace will hardly realize the - stupendous character of th undertaking. Imagine the task of replacing the simplest sort of bridge without interrupting traffic, and then add about 1,000 per cent, to the dltfculty. This will give something of an idea of what confronts engineers and builders. In an undertaking of this nature the slightest error might be productive of infinite disaster. LIv-ry measurement must be accurate to a hair's breadth. Kvery portion of the great arch must perform Its particular share of the great combination that will be one of the marvels of the world. All that Is done must be' accomplished quickly, for in affairs of this nature time Is, Indeed, money. Kvery man who can be utilized will join the army of construction. Perhaps no work of recent years has required, or will yet need, more skilled labor. In fact, in bridge building it Is becoming unsafe to utilize labor of any other class. The bridge, when complete, will in truth be a work of genius in point of construction, as well as point of conception. The work of preparing, the material for the great structure has been in progress for some time, as little can be accomplished in an enterprise of this nature until the preliminaries are complete. When the effort of placing the different parts of the bridge In position is begun Niagara will be one of the busiest of places. ABOUT MRS! STOAVE. Edrrnrd Everett Hale' Reminiscences of the Dead Story Writer. The Outlook. After the year 1K2 I was so fortunately placed that I knew a great deal of her literary work and her habits of composl--tlon. She had nothing1 of the meehanical book-maker about her. If she wrote a book it was because she thought It ought to be written, and was resolved to write it for the glory of God and the good of the world. When I was made the editor of "Old and New," six of us. who were all twenty-five vears younger than we are now, met together and with mutual accord determined that we would write a story, which I believe I may say is well known, called "Six of One by Half a Dozen of the Other." We were three women and three men. The women were llrs. Stow?. Mrs. Whitney and mv sister Lucretla: the men were Frederick W. Loring, Frederick Ke?cher Perkins and myself. I made the plan of the story with A U, C D, K F, and so on, for the herpes and heroines; I assigned to each writer the part which each writer should take; and everybody entered with much spirit into the arrangement. Alas! our dear friend Loring was killed by some roving Apaches before he had more than made notes for his part of the story, but for love of him we included some scraps of his letters In the book as it was made up. It is a good illustration of the accuracy cf criticism that the only thing. I believe, which the critics determined on was that Mrs. Stowe wrote tHe whole cf the Guilford chapter, which was In fact the contribution of Mr. Frederick Perkins. Nobody, in any printed article which I saw, designated with correctness a single author of the five. In the original draft of the story I said that the three heroes and three heroines would come together in Chicago in October ami there "meet their fate." It was so ordered that the great fire In Chicago took place in the very month which I had thus foreordained. eight months before. I had the pleasure myself, before the ruins were cold, of going over the ground and making the study for the closing act of that history. I do not think that Mrs. Stowe knew, any better than any one else, which of her works were going to please the public. I am not sura that she cared. An author's Judgment Is never worth much on such a subject. I am sure that no publisher knows in advance. And I have long slr.ee ceased to think that the public's verdict of any book is any more correct than the verdict of a small circle of Judges. That Is to say, there is many a lost novel which has quite as much worth as stories that hav had what the booksellers ca4l a "runr Dr. Steele Itrady for Trial. NASHVI.LLE. Tenn.. Aug. 1. Dr. S. A. Steele, editor of the Epworth Era. arrived to-day to answer the charges preferred against him by the book committee of the M. E. Church South.

O., Aug. l.-Four rain and hailstorms, with the wind at sixty miles per hour, accompanied by terrific thunder and lightning, visited this city this afternoon. Tie first storm came at 12:20 o'clock, when the clouds made the city as dark as night. The other storms followed with intermissions averaging a half hour. The rajn continued till to-night. Telegraphic and telephone communications were cut off for some time, but soon resumed. Reports from the railroads indicate that the storms extended many miles north. Numerous barns were destroyed by lightning or blown down. Trees were blown across the tracks, and there was much damage from the wind as well as from washouts. The sewers in this city were inadequate. At some street intersections the water was very deep and at most of the intersections pedestrians could not cross. In this city nearly all the buildings in precess of construction suffered, and many others were unroofed. Chimneys were blown down and other damage sustained. The Irwin brick works were iemoll&hed. Near the Irwin brick works a horse and buggy were carried from the street into an adjoining yard. The occupants were only slightly hurt. The suburbs of Madlsonville, Oakley, Norwood, Ilyde Park. Cilfton and Mornington suffered most. Numerous houses In process of construction in $ese suburbs were blown down and many houses which are occupied were damaged. The storm alon the course of these northern suburbs was in the nature of a. tornado. The grand stand, clubhouse and other buildings at the Oakley race track were badly damaged. Forest trees In some localities were cut down like grass. At Clifton Andrew Kunz and F. N. Bicklnberger, two carpenters, feil from the second story to the cellar of Frank Heller's new house. Neither was everly hurt. At Clifton the family cf David E. Fletcher had a narrow escape, when their house was unroofed. The families of William Harsher and Edward Kroetsch had similar experiences at Oakley. The Elm wood Methodist Church was badly damaged, tho steeple being blown off. Nunlist's livery stable, Hesshols Bros.' shoe store and Fred Mouthe's lumber sheds, in the same locality, were blown down. At Andersen's ferry William Lewis was blown on a bridge and afterward taken to his home, oi Dorsey street, by the patrol. The Cincinnati Baseball Park fence went down with other feno-s. A large band v. agon, drawn by six horse.-, was blown over, but none of the musicians was seriously hurt. The scaffolding of St. Fran cis di bales Church biew down just after a dozen workmen liad abandoned it. Engineer Franklin states that when his train stopped at Oakley they thought the engine ana train would be blown from the track. They started as quickly as possible, and made no more stoid till they -.vera out of that storm. At Camp Washington ajtd along Spring Grove avenue the storm was very destructive. It unroofed the Eighteenth district schoolhouse at Camp Washington, blew off the roof3 of the Cincinnati abattoir, the Davis Packing Company and Specialty Carriage Company buildings, on Spring Grove avenue. The third story of two three-story houses, one belonging to James Zacharias, the other to Henrv Schmitzler, were carried away. Many dwellings on this avenue were als unroofed. One hundred feet of the new hide house of McCabe & Marienthal. on. Poplar street, west cf John street, was blown down. Four dwellings in this immediate vicinity were unroofed. On May avenue, in Avondale, all telephone wires and poles are down. On Walnut Hills Henry Stasgerber's large carpenter shop was unroofed. Cook's carriage works. In Mill Creek valley, together with Hoffner's tanneayT-At Kim street and Colerain avenue, were unroofed, and part of the roof of the Cloclnnati Hospital, in Twelfth street, was blown off. Edward Selzer and John Holllnger were in a wagon together at Columbia, when both were knocked off unconscious by a flash of lightning. Their condition Is serious. Charles Baulfe was killed by attempting to throw a telegraph wire out of his dooryard. The wire was erossed with a trolley, and was deadly. The' greatest waterfall was near this city, where the railroads can detour to other tracks, so that they are all aGle to get into the city with their trains, although all suffered. The worst washout reported was on the Pennsylvania, at Red Combe, only seven miles out, and the trains are detoured around It. All the tracks will be repaired by to-morrow. The damage to property at Oakley is over J40.000. It is about the same in adjoining suburbs, and much greater In Elmwood and Norwood. Iteports from up the Ohio river are of heavy rains. At Point Pleasant. W. Va.. there was a rainfall to-night of 1.G5 inches in thirty minutes. Newtown has had six floods this season, and is reported as badly submerged to-night.

The strength of a tiger in its dying struggle is said to be almost fabulous, writes Miss Marryatt in a letter from India, and she goes on to describe a very distressing occurrence which took place in the Bandypoor Jungle, by which Captain II., aid-decamp to the Governor of Madras, lost his life. Captain II'.,' while staying at the bungalow, on a jcurcey to or from the hills, h'eard that a lArge tiger which had done great mischief in the neighborhood was still lurking in the surrounding Jungle. This war grand news for a. sportsman, and he lest no time in sa? lying forth in search of Uie beast. According to the statements of the natives who accompanied him. tho Captain jwon found himself fac to face with this monarch of the Indian forests. The tiger waa on one side of cxaail

stream and Capjin IT. on the other, and It was afterward ascertained that he had actually nred at the brute thirteen times hefore It sprang with amazing strength across the stream amazing, when it is taken into consideration that Captain H. was in general a mpst successful shot. Seizing the unfortunate man before he had time to elud? the attack, the brute crushed him zo frightfully that he was only carried bach to the bunzajow to die. A doctor was procured as soon as possible, but nothing could save h' Hfc The tiger must have fallen back almost instantly and died, ns he was found on the siot with the thirteen shots in his carcass. SAILOR BORIS'S "-'CLAIM. Return After Thirty Years to Find a Town on Ills Land.

DENVER. Aug. 1. John Burns, a sailor, has returned to Denver after an absence of thirty years and laid claim to eighty acres in the town of Barnura, just across the river from this city, which he formerly occupied as a ranch, but which has become worth several hundred thousand dollars. It Is alleged that a deed by which the property passed from Burns many years ago is a forgery. TIIC WAYS OF COWS IX INDIA. Won't Allow Theinselveft to He Milked Unlesn the Calf Is Present. Mrs. E. H. Braddock, in the Independent. Early in my Indian experiences I heard people talk of cows, their .market price, amount of milk,- yield, .age. etc.. Just as at home; so although the cow of India impressed me as rather queer-looking, it did not occur to me that she. while a trifle more bovine than a cow elephant, is no more the faithful, patient brindle than is a cow buffalo. Subsequently, more intimate acquaintance with the creature, her moral character, her behavior, her superstitions, suggested to me the truth. The ways of the heathen cow are "peculiar." She seems incapable of complete domestication; retaining many of her wild habits. She yields milk only while rearing her young. If her offspring be taken from her, the mllk-llow ceases. The attempt to milk her in the absence of her calf involves almost as much danger as would the endeavor to milk a giraffe, with its famed hoof power. One morning the gwala (cowherd) informed me that one of the calves had died in the night, and that the mother refused to allow herself to be milked. He explained elaborately that if the calf's skin should be stuffed and set up before the cow at milking time, she would continue to give milk and would allow the milk to be taken. He insinuatingly ly suggested that if I should give him certain rupees for the purchase of materials he woirid stuff the skin. This story seemed to me ot only improbable, but very. In America I had milked more than one kicking cow. Calmly, not to say loftily, requesting the gwala to bring his pail, I marched down to the cowhouse, inwardly resolved to see the reason why that cow should not be milked meaning to show him .that what an Indian could not do an American could. - - Outside the cow-shed, under the trees, the zebU3 were tethered in a row. They paid no attention to the half-naked, brown gwala; but at my approach each, with wild eyes and uplifted .head, snorting and trembling, seemed, but for the restraining tether rope, about to bound away into her native Jungle. The pvala called a second man to her aid. With a new rope they lassoed the bereaved's hinder legs, holding them in a sllpnoos. One man held the end. of the rope while the other with the pall cautiously approached the zebu. In a twinkling the pail was a rod away, the man with the pail was with it still. I was gasping to regain ray breath, while that zebu was kicking as nothing unpossessed could kick. She appeared utterly indifferent as to whether there were ground under her, as all four feet .seemed continuously In the air. The terpstchorean adept who was declared able to dance with One foot six Inches off de ground', de Oder not quite touchln, must deliver up the palm. Thankful that my valorous resolutions had been mental, later I meekly gave the gwala exactly one-third the amount he had requested, and directed him to stuff the calf's skin. This having been accomplished. I was asraln summoned to the scene of action. Though no abnormal dpvelopment of either quills or ears was discernible, there stood that remarkable cowcontentedly licking and fending her offspring, occasionally lunching scantily upon the hay stufTing which protruded through the rude'y sowed sor.rns -of her progeny's hide, while the - native merrily milked away, sitting, as U customary, on the wrong side. oiiigix or SUX-DOG. The Expression Klndn Plnce In Several Wcll-Known Dictionaries. Pittsburg Dispatch. To a great many persons the. term "sundog" will appear strange and curious, and will rrobably suggest an Inquiry as to Its meaning. Yet the word has a vogue, and Is recognized to the extent of claiming a position !n several of the bst known of our dictionaries. According to the "Encyclopedia Dictionary."' a sun-dog is. in a meteorological sense, "a luminous spot sometimes visible a few degre.es from the sun. It is believed to be formed by the intersection of. two or more halos." In the periodical called Netes and Queries of Oct. 12 last year there appeared an excerpt from the Is'e of Wight Mercury wherein a writer describes the phenomenon on its first presentment to him: "The sun was shining brightly on our right hand and lighting up a range of downs on our left; behind these downs a large mass of black clour's Illumined by frequent flashes of vivid lightning, when what appeared like a fire ballnon only, of course, with much more powerful light, as there was stronr sunlight was sen traveling slowly in front f the black clouds against the wind, and apparently going out to pea in front ; of us. We for the others in the coach saw it also however unfortunately lost sight of It at a turn In the road, and did not so It again. I Fpoke of it the next day to the boatman at the bay, and he then ca'led It a 'sun-heund or 'sun-dog.' and said that It was a light effect only, but was unable to tell me anything elre." Several contributions appeared at a subsequent date in the same periodical relative to the term, and from them It would appear "sun-dog" is by no means uncommon as n name for the phenomenon described alove. Tn Wright's Provincial Glossary "sun-dog" is described as of Norfolk vogue; but probably the range Is widr. "Sun-hound" is ccngener. Wricrht loeallzes as belonging to the southern district of England. Mr. Edward Peacock, who writes to Notes and Queries with reference thereto, mentions it as a Lincplnsh're term, and describes it as "a false sun; that is. an appearance like a somewhat clouded sun rear, the real luminary." "Tneso things generally, but not always." writes -Mr. Peacock, "appears in pairs on the right and laft of the true sun." Among sailors short and detached pieces of rainbow were called sun-dogs, which were generally regarded bv them as precursors of dirty weather. But the essence of the subsequent contributions in thf periodical pamed Is contained in a communication from the pen of Professor Tomlinson. who goes more into detail, and ffs a scientist speaks with some authority. The article is too long to reproduce here, but it mav suffice to say that, according to the writer -named, the term is merely a happv-o-luckr. g-uess which tho phenonemon might "suggest tn an observer, and that the thing itself.is due to dedrical discharges in connection with lightning, as ball lightning. ' To Cnre Hiccough. New York Journal. In the last year a number of cases of prolonged and frequently fatal hiccoughs have been reported In the newspapers. Frequently without any warning persons of good health have started to hiccough, and have kept It up for week without cessation until the exhaustion proved fatal. The physicians In charge have tried many things as remedies, but as a rule failed to accomplish anything toward controlling the disease. Professor Lepine, of Lyons, France, has at last discovered a cure. A 3'oung soldier had contracted the disease and was rapKlIv losing strength. The new remedy consisted in pulling the tongue several tims a minute, keeping It outside the mouth, and then letting it slip back again. This faithfully kept up produced a cure inside of twenty minutes. Hiccough, when continued. Is a serious disease of th reVpfrfttory center in the brain. These rhythmical tractions on the tongue seem to affect the respiratory center in a peculiar way. There Is a bunch of nerves at the base of the tongue which communicates directly with the nerve centers in the brain. Wh?n the "brain center Is Inactive it may bp stimulated by pulling the tongue. It Is Inactive in cases of suffocation. If a baby does not breathe . properly when born, if the tongue .is systematically pulled a few moments the baby will beln nf its own accord ro attempt to breathe. Pulling the tongue also helps by clearing the throat. In cases of drowning it ha been discovered that pulling the tongue ten of fifteen times a minute acts as a more certain and xiowerful stimulus than any of the old methods, such as rolling the subject on a barrel.. hanging him upside down from a meat-hook, or "pumping" him with his arms, or blowing into his lunxa.

CLINTON, 111., Aug. l.-Through the carlessness cf trainmen, a frightful wreck occurred on the curve just east of Birkbeck, a small station on the Illinois Central, five miles northeast of Clinton, this afternoon, in which two were killed and ten badly injured. Passenger train No. 501, going south, and passenger train No. 5j1 going north, collided while going at full speed. The killed are: CHARLES BURCHNAUGH, engineer, Clinton. 111. WILLIAM BAKER, mail agent, Springfield. Those injured are: MISS ROSA BAKER. Chestnut. N. W. DAVIS, baggagemaster. THOMAS C. DUKKS, baggageman. WALTER EVANS, engineer. JACK LOYELL, fireman. LOUIS MARTIN, baggageman, Kankakee. ALLIE M'AVOY. fireman. J. T. NAYLOR. baggageman. K. D. PECKENS, conductor. SHERMAN SWART WOOD, engineer. Miss Baker and conductor Packens were only slightly injured. The others mentioned in the injured list are in a serious condition and some of them may die. The trains were scheduled to pass at Painell, but the north-bound train was late and orders were given to side-track at Birkbeck. The name of the station was overlooked. Conductor Scott Castle and engineer Walter Evans were in charge of the train. Both engines are a wreck. One mail car was reduced to splinters, and the other mail car and both baggage cars are badly damaged. Tho trains wero running thirty-five miles an hour. The curve in the track probably saved the lives of the passengers. The passengers say the collision was so unexpected and sudden that none of the passengers in the south-bound coach realized what had happened until it was all over. The coach in which they were seated did not leave the track. Engineer Burchnaugh leaves a wife and three small children. He was a man , of Iron nerve, and when advised to jump by his fireman, Swartwood, he said: "No, I will stick to her till the last," and ho did. He has been in many collision, and was in tho Chatsworth (111.) wreck. READING FIREMAX SILEXT. Atlantic City Coroner Will Make Him Talk To-Morrovr. ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Aug. 1. After much perplexity, resulting from many cases of mistaken identification, the number of dead as a result ot Thursday's awful collision in the Meadows was this afternoon positively fixed at forty-four. Of these two are Flilladelphlins William Spaulding. transfer agent for the Reading Railroad Company, and Patrick Feighan. of No. 1S21 Thompson street, who was identified by his widow to-day. He came down on Thursday morning with the police pension-fund excursion on the Pennsylvania railroad, and in the evening made a fatal error. A witness of the wreck, who declined to give his name for publication, says that the Reading express was racing across the meadows with the Camden & Atlantic express from Philadelphia. He was almost abreast of the West Jersey excursion train as it approached tho town, and noticed that It . slacked speed as it sighted the Reading express. A moment afterwards, however, he saw engineer Greiner, of the West Jersey train, turn on steam to rush -his train. If possible, over the crossing, as the white signals authorized him to do so. The crash, the shock, the horror of all were before his senses. He hurriedly went to the wreck to render what assistance he might, and was. appalled by the fearful sights and sounds of sufferers. One poor fellow was crushed in the mud, only his head and one arm free above the surface. He was so injured that ho could not speak. The recollection or impression of this witness is that the Camden & Atlantic express came along after the crash. A few minutes later tho Camden & Atlantic accommodation passed .along in sight of the wreck, but the train hands refused to stop or permit their passengers to render assistance. . William Hughes, the fireman of the Camden & Atlantic express. Is reported to have told a neighbor tnat they were racing. If they were engineer Farr may have been too busily engaged in watching the rival train to notice the signals, knowing that he always before had the right of way over the crossing. The crash occurred at 6:43. one minute before the Rending flyer was due at the station, and nineteen minutes before the excursion train was to start. The Camden & Atlantic express was due at the station at 6:23, and must have been behind time to have been racing with the Reading, which wa due at 6:IiO. Some necessary formalities were attended to by Coroner McLaughlin and the police official to-day. The coroner snent some time going over the valuables found on the bodies of the dead and arranging them for their return to the relatives. That the excursion party was made up of the poorer classes was evident from these. There was a little roll cf money and a few articles of tawdry Jewelrj', bloodstained hats, parosl?, shoes and one set of false teeth, which gave a grotesque feature to the collection. More than a score of subpoenas have already ben issued for the inquest, which will begin on Monday next. The principal witnesses will be examined on the first day. Fireman O'Houlihan. of the Reading train, who saved his life by leaping from the cab a moment kefore the crash, will give the most vital testimony, and if he tells what h-certalnly must know, responsibility for the death-dealing disaster will -fce fixed. Thus far he has -firmly refused to discus the case in any aspect even to the coroner. George Hauser, the operator at the tower, has only held that position a short time, but he declared that he had given the prop er signals of right of way to the West Jersey. it developed to-night that there i3 another man missing. He is Joseph F. Allen, of Mlllvllle. Chief of PoMce Eldridge. ' this city, has his bank and check books. Twenty-eight of the injured at the sanitarium had recovered sufficiently to be sent to their homes. There are still fifteen there. nieycle Social and Economic Effect. J. B. Bishop, In the Augnst Forum. . The economic effects of this new force In human a Hairs afford much material for curious and even amusing study. It is estimated that since the passlcn got under full hewdway, less than five years ago. fully JIOO.COO.OOO have been tpent in purchasing bicycles in this country alr.r.e. The output for this year Is estimated at frem utf.tOQ to 1,000.000 machines, at an average price of S0 each. Of course, a new branch of business of euch dlmenslons-as this must disturb more or less other kinds of business. A million people cannot bay bicycles at ISO each and buy as many ortier things as they would otherwise hnve bought. Naturally the dealers In luxuries are the first to feel the effects. The loudest outnrr-. from th makers of &-atpha. on,l iawelry. llany cf them have abonienrd

the business entirely and substituted for It bicycle making. They say that formerly when. a eon came of age. or Christmas day came around, a favorite family present was a watch; now It Is a bicycle The girls ustd to save their pin money with which to buy earrings, or a breastDln. or a locket; now they heard it for a bicycle. Not only must the sons nnd daughters have them, but the parents as well, so that all the family savings :o in one direction. The daughter who has been ambitious for a piano concludes that she will not wait longer, but will get a bicycle instead, since it costs less. There are many other complaints of Injury to trade which might be enumerated. Imt I must content myself with the mention cf only or.e other, whiph is. nerhaps. the most moving of all. It wns made by a barber in New Ycj-k city. "There is nothing in my business any longer." he said; "the bicycle has ruined It. Befcre the bicycle craze struck us the men cseJ to come in on Saturday afternoons and get a shave, and a haircut. a:;J maybe a Jhamroo, in order to take their girls to the theater or no out somewhere else tn the evening. Now they go off. on a bicycle and do not care whether they are shaved or not. You see where it hurts our business is that when a man skips a shave to-day we can't otll him "two shaves to-morrow that shave Is gone forever." DUflNE WEBSTER CAUGHT.

The Voting: Degenerate Vlio Murdered IHm Mother Last Winter. CHICAGO. Aug. 1. Duane Webster, wanted at Butler, Ind.. for the murder of Mrs. Henry Webster, his mother, and assaulting his father, probably fatally, was arrested here this afternoon. He formerly worked in a drug store here and had stolen a revolver from one of the clerks, and the weapon has been identified as the one with which he killed his mother. On arriving here he went to the house where he formerly boarded to get some clothes he had left there, and was arrested while boarding a treet car to leave the city. Webster, when taken to the police station, denied that he had killed his mother, but when confronted by SherlrT Stohr, of DeKalb county. Indiana, he weakened somewhat and consented to go back with the sheriff if he were protected from being lynched by a mob. He sf.'l he bad been in Pittsburg before coming here. The Indiana sheriff identified him from the fact that he has a wooden leg. AROL'T HYDROPHOBIA. Scientists Practically Asrree that There In Really Xo Such Disease. Washington Post. Of course the question ' of hydrophobia Invariably crops out in midsummer. This Is the season lurlnjf which dogs are frequently seen foaming at the mouth, falling down in fits, and exhibiting other symptoms of distress. Since dogs do not ptrsplre, and since their only way of discharging moisture caused by extreme heat is through the mouth, they are generally found, during excessively warm spells, panting and slobbering and looking miserably uncomfortable. The ignorant take this as a sign of danger, and it needs only a fit or a sunstroke to convince them that they are gazing upon a genuine case of hydrophobia. Advanced scientists deny the existence of the disease, and especially the possibility of ltR belnK communicated to man through the medium of a dog's bite. Year after year the subject !s discussed, experiences compared, statistics, inquiries and observations analyzed. And year after year,' the conviction deepens that the disease is a thing cf the imagination. At the annual meeting of the American Neurological Association, held recently in Philadelphia, the controversy was taken up again ap.d an essay read by Dr. Irving C. Itosse. of Washington, the title thereof being "Newspaper Rabies." In this essay Dr. Rosse renewed his dissent from the popular belief in hydrophobia, and neither his proposition nor the mass of evidence upon which he based it was challenged by a single one of the eminent neurologists who composed the audience. It seems that investigation and research have only confirmed students in their skepticism, while the failure to claim the large rewards offered by kennel clubs, physicians and others for an authentic and conclusive case of hydrophobia goes to show that the layman fares no better than the scientist in his quest for proof. We really think that the general welfare would be promoted If the newspapers were a little more careful in printing accounts of mad dogs running at large and biting men. women and children. There can be no doubt that these publications do a great deal of harm. If the police feel called upon o put to death every dog that happens to be overcome by the heat and Is frothing at the month, it is r.ot at all necessary to decitr- that the dog was suffering from hydrophobia. Science has not yet been able to 6Us?over a conclusive case of rabies in cither man or beast, and, that befng true, newspapers can well afford to distrust the statements of the police to the contrary. CLERGYMAN'S CIRE FOR LOVE. lie Advised thoj You no; Woman to Take to the Bicycle. Gentlewoman. I have been told that a great many clergymen-are much troubled by the members of their congregation confiding to them their lovo troubles. One well-known and much-admired prophet and evangelist is so much bewildered by the quantity and quality of these confidences that he now makes lt'a rule not to see any member of the fair sex in the vestry unless she states beforehand what she wants to consult him about. One day. however, when he had preachedira very eloquent sermon, a sad-ej-ed lady member of his congregation forced her way into his house on ths plea of urgent business, and. in spite of his most discouraging manner, insisted on informing him, with tears and sobs, that she had fallen hopelessly In love with a certain gentleman of her acquaintance, and that she did not know what would become of her in lifo unless he could be persuaded to return her affection. The reverend gentleman arose impatiently and exclaimed that he should advise the kdy to buy a bicycle and go out for a long rldo every day until she was cured. The damsel went away weeping, and saying that, alas! he did not understand that her love fever was incurable I The clergyman thought no more about this interview, which he had looked upon a3 being one of the disagreeable details of his profession; but a month later, as he was walking along the street, he met a pretty, blooming, bright-eyed girl, who stopped him and exclaimed, with enthusiasm. "I never can be sufficiently grateful to yeu for your excellent advice; I have acquired a bicycle, and go long rides every day, and now I have no time to think of Mr. and don't carA for him at all." Lovelern damsels please N. B., for I think that Rev. Mr. Astute was a wise and wholesome-minded adviser. If he had taken her confession seriously she might still have been suffering from an unrequited attachment instead of being a happy, merry girl. To me if is only one more proof that there Is no cure like outdoor exercise for a bruised heart. EntcrprlHltiK Kite Flyer. Philadelphia Record. Up to the present time the bicycle era Benjamin Franklin has been considered the master-hand at kite flying: but a youngster has recently been found in Holmesburg who could give Poor Richard pointers at his own gam "Whether or not Franklin was accurtomed to raise his kite by running a quarter ef a mile or so with the string in his hand, after the manner of kUe flyers of the present day. is net stated in the annals of history; but the Holmesburg lad has discovered that the use of his biej-cle is a saving of labor. He has seen on the Bristol p'.ke on Thursday, and several passing farmers paused to watch the operation of raising the kite. A friend held the plaything, while the manipulator, after taking two or three turns around the handlebars of his wheel with the unencumbered end of the string, mounted and rode up the pike. 'iie little patch of blue and white paper, spread on a light frame, shot upward under the resistance of the air like an arrow. The oy commenced to let out string, and as he disappeared around a turn in the road the kite had mounted to a height of over two hundred feet. Hovr They Got Their Wheel. Washington Post. You may have wondered how so many colored people of humble station acquire bikes of the latest pattern and appear on tho streets v.irh dusky belies, arrayed in colorj as gorgeous as the rainbow.

For years it has been his custom to get three or four of his friends tosihr at least twice a week in his snug library and while away four or live hours of art evening by means of rive-cent ante with a quarter limit. The parrot's cage har.es in the same library, except on Mate occasion, when it is taken Into the dining room. The man's wife Is as devoted to hr church as he Is to his favorite game, sit never mlsses a meeting, and as often as th good man will come has her pasior to hor home for Sunday dinner. He was thrrs two or three weeks ago. So were a number of oHier friends of the family.
