BLOOMINGTON. INDIANA TUESDAY. MORNING, JULY 30, 18a.

Down Fell the Ponderous Sione. Upon the Unsuspecting Victim. Will Stilus, one of the employes of tle Consolidated Stone Company, 'met with a terrible and probably fatal Accident Saturday morning'- He works at Hunter quarry which is controlled by the Consolidated Coinpauy, in the capacity of a derrick man. Ke is but eighteen years of age and was up to the time of this awful misfortune a hale, hearty and healthy young man. His brother was working upon a ledge where the derrick is planted, while lie was

just below ;rasning a tag line that, was used in pulling the heavy stones when raised, in any direction desired. A ponderous stone weighting about sixty tons was being ifiiised from the bottom of the quairy. Staggs necessarily had to be almost directly under it with the tag line so that he could shift the stone clear of any obstructions while it was being raised. His brother stood upon the ledge giving the necessary signs to the powermau so distanced away who manipulated the derrick cable with a lever. Suddenly when the stone wfis about six or eight feet from the ground one of the dogs that is fastened in the side of the stone to . hold it broke loose, or slipped, permitting the big stone to fall with

crushing force to the ground. During its descent one edge of it struck young Staggs in the breast, knocking him clear off it. He fell tD the ground, and before a second elapsed the big stone toppled over on hire crushing his legs in the ground in which manner he lay for more than ten minutes. His brother .witnessed the terrible accident, and ; calling for assistance, he rushed to Tis side. The poor fellow begged 'piteously to be released, and it was with trouble that it was accomplished. He was taken to hi3 home and Drs. Harris, and Rogers were telephoned for, and were on the scene in a short time. Upon examination it was found that one leg was mashed entirely off, and the other was held by a few shreds of ilesh and skin. The physicians decided upon amputation. The left leg was taken off a few inches above the ankle, and the right one lost below the knee. r He was placed under the influence of ether before the operation, and it required more than four hours to accomplish it. The loss of blood was great and it was with difficulty that the flow Wiirf checked.

Claude G. Malotf , business manaer of The Student of last year, has been elected science teacher in the ' public schools of Washington, Ind. of which Prof. W. F. Axteli is superintendent. The Gazette of that place pays him the following compliment which his many friends hero will heartily indorse: lMr. Malott is a graduate from the Indiana University with high honors and is in every way competent to teach science. He has now the title of A. B. and was one of the brightest students at the I. U. He is a very pleasant young man 'aad is unmarried. He is said to be a very line base ball player, having played left field with the I. U. for three year? and in that time made but one error. His recommendations to the Board were from the very best teachers in the state."

Monon Gets It.

Deal For The I. & I. S. Practically Closed. The Indianapolis Journal says that W. H. McDoel, vice president and general manager of the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago returned Friday from the East, and it is stated on excellent authority that the deal by which the L. N. A. & C. secures control of the Indiana & Illinois Southern, which extends to Switz City, Ind., to Effingham, Ills., is practically closed. The advantages the control that property would five the Monon were noted in the Journal several days ago, and there i3 good authority for stating that the company will take definite action in a few days re garding terminals at Indianapolis. Hicks On August. The first five days of the month comprise a vulcan storm period, with full moon on the 5th. Look for very warm, with growing indi cations of storms from 2nd to 5th, Much bluster, with black elouds and some rain, will result about the full moon. A brief change to cooler is due about 5th to 7th. Watch results of Apogee on 7th. The time of reaction will be on and about the 8th and 9th, when it will turn very warm again, end storm conditions will show themselves, in the barometor, and wind currents, but with little or no rain probable. The same conditions and results may be expected during the regular vulcan period, 13th to 16th. There will be indications of rain, with perhaps much bluster and hot winds, but it will not be wise to rely on much rain. Some change to cooler may come about 16th to 18th. The autumnal equinox will begin its pressure lightly about new moon on the 20th. The moon be ing new and at its nearest approach to us on the same day, with a reactionary disturbance due at the same time, the probabilities are strong for very forcible storms between the 19th and 22nd. It will be very warm at this time, and if no electric storms arise to check the heat and readjust the magnetic and electric inequalities between the earth and air, seismic tremors and heavier shocks will be felt in many places. If storms arise, cooler weather will follow about the 21st to 23rd, and prepare the way for a more hopeful condition of the weather during the rest of the month. The Vulcan disturbance central on the 25th, will have Mercury Earth, Jupiter and moon at its first quarter to add to its first possibilities. About 25th to 27th indications are good for rain, attended by nara storms, ana xoiiowea by a radical change to cooler. Look for cloudiness and drizzling during much of the period of Mercury. The month goes out in aractionary period, the Mercury disturbance also reaching into September. August will therefore close with rising temperature and with growing storm conditions. LETTER LIST.

MORE SILYER TALE.

Latest News From Camp Norton of the Spencer-Miller Debate. The Martinsvlle Leader of yesterday has the following report of the now famous debate between Spen cer and Miller: At 3:06 p. m. on Friday, Mr. Spencer came forward and said : "I will try and commence where I left off at Henderson's on Thurs day night. Miller said that I had never paid a fine in full. He was right. No one but a gold bug can afford to under the pres ent fee system of dispensing 'jus tice." I belong to the people. I am one of them. I wish to say that our collections up to date pan out the sum of $1.40. I have turned over to Miller his share, 70c. A friend of mine sent me, yesterday, a counterfeit silver dollar. I got my supper at the Faulkner house and received 75c good money in change for said counterfeit dollar. What better money do you want? Gentlemen, our tight from now on will be ); an easy one, for roasting ears are ripe. It will not cost us more than one dollar a week to live. There's no doubt in my mind but what I won the contest on Thursday night. Jap is agood debater, but I have too many years experience for him. We have been invited by mayors and councils to m?ke a ten days' contest in the following cities: Bloomington, Franklin, Greencastle, Shelbyville and Spencer, and they also want us to come to Argument Ridge, Monroe counHere time was called, when Mr. Miller came forward and made the following remarks: "Mr. Spencer declared at Henderson's that my shirt had been worn for five years. It is a fraction more than five years. A friend of mine made me a present of said shirt. Soon afterwards he was hung by some white-cappers and in respect for his memory that shirt will never come off till it drops off. A great many citizens have told my friend Spencer that he should not associate with me. Likewise they have talked to me about Spencer. We understand them. They are the paid agents of Wall street. Gentlemen this fight will go on and it will be won. Then, and and not until then, will, we be appreciated by the American people. If we were mercenary, we could make money out of our entainments, but we are not. All we want is a sufficiency of food and raiment. I wish to return thanks to my friends for the flowers they have presented to Mr. Spencer and myself during the course of our financial debates," Time was called, when mayor Mayor Buskirk came forward and presented Mr. Miller, on behalf of the Mechanics' band, of Bloomington, with one white shirt and collar.
