WITH A CRASH.
The Big Derrick at the Consolidated Lets Go.
A GREAT BIG
PIECE
Thursday afternoon a number of workmen at the Consolidated quarry had a narrow escape from instant death. The big derrick that stands in the center of the quarry fell with a thundering crash over the heads of thirty men just below it. The guy ropes that swing around through the air knocked down seven or eight men but did not injure them any. How it came to fall is a mys-
ftery, and it is indeed lucky that it
fell in the direction it did. The
monetary loss will amount to con
siderable.
That will Pass O'er The Moon Tuesday Night.
A total eclipse of the moon occurs tomorrow night that will prove to be unusually interesting from an a.tromnoical standpoint, from the fact that Lunar retires from sight or hours. The eclipse will take place when the moon is near the ir.eridian, where earth mist cannot obscure the light. The occurrence no doubt will bo watched by a real many persons, tspccisdly those in
terested in the studv of the heavens.

porters for the different towns of
the District where papers are

the president. The first subject
on the programme was "Men That God Use," by Miss Ander
son of Spencer. It was an able
production and greatly appreciated by all who heard it. "Why Is Your Society Not More Active,"
was next discussed by Mr. Carl Steele of Gosport. This was followed by an intermission of ten minutes, after wh'ch a song was given. The next two subjects on the programme were omitted, on account ot the absence of those on the programme. A very interesting "Open Pailiament" was

The supreme court decided Fri
day that the county snperin ten
dency law passed by the late legi
ituro. is unconstitutional. The object in passing the law
was to extend the time of the coun
ty superintendents until September, and thus give the new trustees an opportunity to make the selections. This would have given the Republicans a decided advantage as the inaj rity of old trustees were Democrats, and the tidal wave of 1894 revrmd this condition. The decision on Friday was agreed to by four of the live members of the court, Judge Jordan dissent'u g. Politically three Demo crats, and one Republican favored the d'-cicion, and one Republican was ngain-t it. The eflect of the decision is that
in all counties where no elections were held last June the old supeiintend'.mts will hold over,and where elections were held at that time the
persons so elected will serve until June 1817. Sup't. Frank F. Tourn er will thus continue as superintendent. He has made a faithful officer, and last June received an unanimous vote for re election. Had the law been held constitutional there would have been a lively time here among the nunier-
1 ous applicants. As it is tho fun
