It is an interesting fact that every
member of the recent General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church South who
served in the war was strongly in favor
of union' with the Northern Church.
The New York Chinese mission has
between 4,00(T and 5,000 Celestials in its
Sunday schools. About sixty havjjoined

for these people was founded in
New York eighteen years ago.
There are now over 1,000 Young Men's
Christian Associations in this country,
with a membership of 140,000, expending
for Christian work $785,000. The aggregate
of property in buildings, libraries,
etc., is over $5,000,000.
People who want land can be aeommodated
for awhile yet. There are still
9,000,000 acres of public land in Colorado,
12,000,000 in Arizona, 30,000,000 in
California, 49,000,000 in Dakota, 7,000,000

in Minnesota,41,000,000 inUtah,
20,000,000 in Washington Territory, and
some millions of acres in other States and

An interesting case has recently been
reported in Boston, that of a child who
had three attacks of scarlet fever. The
first occurred at the age of five years,
the second at eleven years, and the third
some seven months later. It is evident
from this, says the'Boston Ilcrald, "that
one attack of scarlet fever does not secure
future immunity, as was formerly
supposed to be the case."
Trichince have been discovered in a
human body which was being prepared
for anatomical demonstration at the University
of Camerino. The man had
lived for many years in a neighboring
commune, and died without the presence
of trichina; being suspected. Peculiar
interest attaches to the case for the reason
that it said to be the first case of trichinosis
ever observed in Italy.
The New York Times says that, notwithstanding

so far as the character of the light
is concerned, there are probably fewer
electric lights used in private dwellings
and places of business by at least twenty
five per cent, now than there were three

too expensive to compete with gas.
The coal beds of China are five times
as large as those of Europe, while gold,
silver, lead, tin,copper, iron, marble,and
petroleum are all found in the greatest
abundance. Owing to the prejudice of
the people the mines have never been
worked to any extent, it being the popular
belief in China that if these mines are
opened thoasands of demons and spirits
imprisoned in the earth would come forth
and fill the country with war and suffering
According to the San Francisco Chronicle,
"the people of Montana are getting
ready to make a telling fight for admission
into the Union at the next session of
Congress. They claim to have the necessary
population, and there is no doubt as
to the resources of the Territory. Those
who are familiar with the region comprised
in the proposed new State predict
for it an unparalleled development,being
rich in mines, timber, water,and agricul
tural and grazing lands."
James II. Macdonald, the new Lieutenant-Governor
of Michigan, has an income
of $40,000 a year on an investment
which cost him less than $350. When
Captain Moore discovered the Colby
mine in the great Gogebic iron range he
sold a third interest to Macdonald for a
few dollars. The land is now worked by
a cojnpany which pays a royalty of forty
cent?a ton. The royalty for the present
year amounts to $120,000, a third of which
goes to Lieut.-Governor Macdonald.
X ' A singular phenomenon was lately witnessed
near Greenville, Ala. A whirlwind
about fifteen feet wide passed over
a pond, forcing the water up for about
two or two and a half feet its entire
width, then twisting it into a pillar about
#a foot in diameter. This stem was perpendicular
for about six feet, when it
giauuuuy wiueneu uuiu a ccigni oi
about sixty or seventy feet was attained.
The water then fell in a spray. Those
^ho witnessed it say shat the whirlwind
formed a huge goblet of the water, and
it was one of the prettiest sights they ever
aaw.
The agricultural Department has issued
a report to show that 10,000,000 acres of
forests are used yearly in this country for
fuel and lumber. Fires, it 33 calculated
destroy about 10,000,000 acres
aaora The forest area of this country is
less than 450,000,000 acres. At this rate
we will in a quarter of a century have no
forests. Whatever relief may come in
the future from a change in the fuel
question the demand for timber will increase
as the country increases in population.
The whole thing seems to point to
arboriculture on a large scale systematically,
and in no long time either.
It "was supposed that the death of the
late Captain Eads would end the Tehauntepec

The stockholders in the enterprise,
twenty-five or thirty of whom, representing
?15,000,000 of stock, reside at
Pittsburg, have determined to continue
the work, and have selected one of their

take charge of it. He is a brother-inlaw
of the deceased engineer, and said to
be entirely competent to carry on the enterprise.
The stockholders have abandoned
the idea of asking for a Government

A KENTUCKY TRAGEDY. 1
The Culmination of a Sanguin- j
ary Faction Feud. t
<
Craig Tolliver and Three of His
Followers Killed.
(
A Kentucky feud of long standing which ]
t?s cost many lives is ended at last. A ,
Louisville dispatch gives the following history
of the terrible series of tragedies and
their origin:
In Kentucky's lawless mountain county of !
Rowan was this morning enacted the final
chapter in the bloodiest mountain vendetta j
known in the history of the State. Four .
desperate men forfeited their lives while re- |
listing the mandates of law. After the
destruction of thousands of dollars' worth of
property, and the less of twenty-one lives.
Rowan Count}" can now return to peace and
prosperity. To-day's work ends the succession
of tragedies that "have been enacted in that
Bounty since the beginning of the MartinTolliver
feud,not quite two years ago, the re- I
suit of which up to date has been, besides the
killing of twenty-one men, the maiming
for life of at least a score or more of persons,
the destruction of all social relations and of
nearly the entire business interests of the
county, and a state of lawlessness and terrorism
that have driven good men, with th*ir ,
families, away from home and friends to seek
new homes in other parts of the country.
; The feud out of which to-day's tragedy
grows began at the August election in 1SS4,
when Cook Humphrey for .Sheriff defeated
Sam Gooden by a majority of lli. A
drunken fight occurred, in which John
Martin was badly hurt. He claimed that
Floyd Tolliver and John Day beat him with
clubs. Shooting followed in which Solomon
Bradley, a bystander, was killed, Tolliver
said by Martin. As a result of this fight,
John .Martin, "Ben, tns iacner, ?? m anu
"Dave," his brothers, and Cook Humphrey,
who had lived with the Martins when a
boy and gone to school at Morehead from
their farm, were ranged on one side; Marion,
Craig and Floyd Tolliver, brothers, and
"Bud," Jay and Wiley Tolliver, cousins,
living in Elliott County, ?n the other
side. In December, John Martin met Floyd
Tolliver in a whisky shop at Morehead and
killed him. To escape lynching Martin was
taken to Winchester jail. Six days later a
forged order was presented to the iailer and
Martin in- irons put on the train to return to
Morehead for trial. At Farmers, an intervening
station, a masked mob boarded the
train and killed Martin.
The Tolh vers then began the work of exterminating
the Martins and their friends, prominent
among them being the Cook Humphreys
party, who sided with the Martins. Humphreys <
was chased into the bushes, escaping, but his
friend, Ben Rayburn, was killed ana a notice
posted on his body forbidding burial. Sympathizers
with the opposing faction were ]
ambushed and shot down without mercy,
until the blood of at least ten victims crieu |
out for vengeance. The militia were i
called in, but the Tolliver gang were pro- i
tected by a court in which Judge and jury |
were friends of the Tollivers, and the court (
proceedings were a farce. Perjured witnesses j
and a partial Judge and jury wiped away ]
effectually each crime and turned the mon- (
sters out to commit fresh iniquities. j
Sheriff Hogg, presumably acting under instructions
from the State authorities?for he
recently visited Frankfort to see Gov. Knott
?has been for about a week quietly organizing
a very large posse of determined men in ]
the upper part of jRowan county and the ad- j
joining counties for the purpose of arresting
i^raiR luiavcr, ui oil IUC pai ij luaunasmi^u- I
catea in the murder of the Logan boys, two I
weeks ago. Craig Tolliver had received in- j
timations of this, but they were so vague j
that he supposed the party would be regulators
instead of a Sheriff's posse. Tolliver
and his party, consisting of about ten '
men, were "quite vigilant, and went '
heavily armed to meet every east- 1
ward bound train at the depot to search for
suspicious characters, and to see that no one 1
got off at Morehead but those whom they de- ]
sired. Sheriff Hogg equipped his large party <
with Winchester rifles, and the ammunition
was secretly conveyed to his rendezvous (
while he was organizing the posse.
Sheriff Hogg's band of men, numbering
200. appeared suddenly at Morehead about
eignt o clock this morning. A cordon was 1
first established around the entire '
town in the brush where the men 1
could not be seen. The Sheriff then en- 1
tered the town at the head of about 100 wellarmed
men. Craig Tolliver and his ten fol- '
lowers immediately retreated to the Cottage j
Hotel, which they had previously barricaded
in such a manner as to make it quite a formidable
fortress.
Sheriff-Hogg then notified Tolliver that he
had warrants for the arrest of all the men j
implicated in the killing of the Logan boys,
ana asked that they all submit peaceably to j
arrest under the law. Tolliver's reply was
that neither he nor his men would be arcsted,
and that a hundred men could not take 1
them. His party then opened fire upon the j
Sheriffs poss?. Quite a brisk rattle of mus- '
ketry ensued, and the fighting was kept up '
for about two hours. The only casualty for ?
a time was a flesh wound received by one of
the Sheriff's posse. The attacking party,
however, were gradually drawing their lines
closer aronnd Tolliver's fortification, and the .
besieged party, finding things growing too
warm, finally concluded to make a bold rush
ior lioeriy, cut wieir way uiruu^u >uo
Sheriffs lines, and take to the adjacent brush, i
which once reached would afford them a 1
secure escape. ]
As they made the rush they were met by a <
volley, which killed Craie Tolliver. Biul Tol- t
liver. Jay Tolliver, and Hiram Cooper. They
were all shot through the heart ana died instantly.
Craig Tolliver seems to have been
a general target, as he was to thoroughly
riddled as to be scarcely recognizable.
The other men of the gang
got through safely, but as they approached
the brush they were met by a volley
from the outside cordon, a line of men
stationed ten or twelve feet apart, all
around the town. This volley wounded
Care Tolliver, a twelve-year-old boy,
and three others, all of whom were
captured except Cate Tolliver, who
crawled into the brush and escaped. The
other three also escaped, but one was captured
afterward. This brought the battle
to an end. and the slain were viewed by the
people and the passengers from the train.
The four men killed to-day were the leading
spirits in the vendetta.

DARING TRAIN BOBBERS.
% Band of Armed Men Capture a
Whole Train in Texas.
The most daring train robbery that ever
>ceurred in Texas was perpetrated at 1:30
>'clock the other morning, a short distance
'rom Schulenburg, on the Southern Pacific
Railway. As the train drew up at the station
;wo men, with drawn revolvers, mounted the
>ngine, covered the engineer with their |
weapons, and conijielled him to pull the train
)ut to the open prairie, a few hundred yards
:o the east, where a fire was burning,
iround which stoo l eight or ten men armed
tvith Winchester rifiis. The two robbers on
:he engine stood guanl over the man at the
throttle, while the others went through the
mail, express and passenger cars. Is early
ill the passengers were asleep, and did not
know what was going on until aroused by the
robbers.
A man armed with a double-barreled shotgun
stood at the door of the passenger
L-oachcs, while tin; others robbed the passengers.
J. H. White, Sheriff of El Paso County,
was on the train. He says there were twelve
robber's in the party, and that when they
entered the express car the messenger,
Frank Folger, seeing them coming,
threw awav the keys to his safe. This
tnraged the desperadoes, and two of them
wreaked vengeance 011 him by heating him
over the head with their revolvers and cruiiw
with pocket knives. Tho
messenger was badly used up. The robbers
recovered the keys mid succeeded in opening
the safe. How much money they
found is a mere matter of conjecture, but it is
st".ted that the safe contained ?10,OW. After
going through the express and mail cars the
robbers turned their attention to the passengers,
none of whom were overlooked or
slighted.

fcels iind lodging houses, had nowhere to lay ,
their heads, tramped in endless procession
through the streets. Others, armed with
camp stools and lunch baskets, betook themselves
to out-of-the-way places and prepared
to make the l>est of it until morning dawned.
At an early hour the police details were
trebled in strength, and Westminster Abbey, |
which had bten closely guarded during the j
night, was surrounded by the police anil military,
who ke pt the crowd at a respectful distance.
From early in the evening until daybreak
carriages and equipages of every description,
crowded with occupants, were driven toward
the West End. At 5 o'clock, a. m., every
point of vantage from which to obtain a view
of the royal procession was occupied, and at
9 o'clock the crowd along the line of march
was one compact mass of people.
The line 01. the procession to Westminster
Abbey was us follows: From Buckingham
Palace to Constitution Hill, Piccadilly; to !
Regent street; to Waterloo place; to Pall
Mall, to East Cockspur street, to Northumberland
avenue, to the Thames Embankment,
to Bridge street, and thence to the Abbey.
The March to Westminster Abbey.
The line of route was kept by nearly 10.000
troops, representing all branches of the service,
and in addition <i(X) boys from the naval
training ship. The latter were drawn up at
the base of tiie Nelson Monument. The police
force was very large, and whs under the direct
eomraan <1 of Sir Charles Warren. The
military force was under the command of
General Gipps and Colonel Stirling, of the
Cold Stream Guards.
The first part of the royal procession started
shortly after ten o'clock ana was composed of
the Indian Princesand minor German Princes.
They were enthusiastically cheered as they
emerged from the palace gates, and the
plaudits were taken up and carried along the
crowds that lined the route until the royal
party had disappeared within tlie spacious
recesses of the Abbey.
At fifteen minutes to eleven the second royal
procession started. In this procession were
the Kings of Denmark, Belgium, Saxony and
Greece, the Crown Princes of Austria, and
Portugal, the Queen of the Belgians, the
Crown Princess of Austria, the Grand Duke
of Mecklenburg and others of the royalty.

When the procession passed along Piccalilly.and
turned down by Waterloo Place into
Trafalgar Square the cheers of the vast crowds
then in sight of the Queen and covering the
pavement, stands, windows, roofs, and everything
in sight capable of holding a human
being, were so long, loud, and overpowering
as to be absolutely exciting. The Queen was
thrilled. It was while passing through this
past multitude that the extreme popularity
of the arrangement of the Queen s personal
escort was made most manifest.
The sons, the sons-in-law, and the
grandsons were all cheered by the people,
rrince Frederick William, the German
Crown Prince, in ws wniie unuorm, was
sasily recognized by the populace, and he was
applauded by Englishmen as he never has yet
been in his own country.
At Westminster Abbey.
At the central door of the "Westminster
Abbey the ladies and officers of the Queen's
household awaited the arrival of the royal
party. As its members descended from their
carriages, the ladies and officers advanced
to meet the Queen. The officiating clergy
tvera assembled in the nave of the
Abbey. When the Queen appeared at
the foot of the steps, the clergymen
formed a procession, heaaed by the minor
canons ana the canon residentiary. Then
came the Bishop of London, the Archbishops
of Canterbury and York and the Dean of
Westminister. The heralds and the members
of the royal household followed,
preceding the royal princes and relatives
of her Majesty, who walked three abreast,
the two lines nearest ths Queen bsiug composed
of the Prince of Wales and the Dukes of
Conn aught and Edinburgh and Prince Christian,
Crown Prince Frederick William, and
the Grand Duke of Hesse. The Queen then
came. She was immediately followed by the
Master of Horse and the Mistress of the
Etobes, the Princesses coming in pairs.
Prince Alfred of Edinburgh and the women
of the bedchamber and ladies in waiting
and others closed the procession, with the
Captains of the corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms
ana the Yeomen or the Guard, whose corps
was posted at different points in the
ADOey. AS Dno processiuu uieu up
the aisle Dr. Bridge played the
march by Handel, and the royal family
slowly took their seats on the dais,"the Queen
occupying the coronation chair, over the
back of which drooped the regal robes of
state, which the Queen presently assumed
with the assistance of the Mistress of the
Robes.
The Abbey was now a blaze of magnificence.
On the right of the royal dais the Lord Chancellor.
in nis masmiflcent robes of state and
Bowing wig, a mass of velvet and ermine,was
seated. Behind him sat five hundred paers of
the realm and their peeresses, attired in costumes
of rich velvet and sumptuous silks. Behind
these sat the Lord-Lieutenants, heavy
with their robes and insignia of office, and the
diplomats, whose bosoms were covered with
decorations. On the left, and facing the Lord
Chancellor, was the Speaker of the House of
Commons, also wearing his robes of office, with
the golden mace before him. Behind him
were the members of the House of Commons
and their wives, all richly arrayed. So, on
Bither side of her, the Queen's eyes fell upon
two brilliant masses, splendid xn colors and
lazzling with jewels.
The galleries were crowded with a black
mass of clergymen. Down the nave the eye

and naval uniforms, and the dazzling Oriental
costumes of the Indian Rajahs, sparkling
with precious stones.
The scene was of more than regal splendor,
and must havi reminded the Queen of the lavish
display of grandeur which signalized her
coronation. Court officials who have seen both
say to-day's spectacle far exceeded that of the
coronation in magnificence. Among the notables
who could be seen from the press gallery
were Premier Salisbury, wearing the Order of
the Garter; Lord Cranbrook,Sir.Gladstone,in
court uniform, with Mrs. Gladstone: James
Russell Lowell, and Mr. Blaine. In th> gallery
everlooking the dais Queen Kapiolani and
Princess Liliuokalaui, in rich golden robes,
were seated in the sacrarium. Among the
royalties who awaited the Queen's arrival
were the bHnd King of Saxony, who was led
to a seat in the choir near the dais, beside
whom sat the Queen of the Belgians and
Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria.
A fanfare of silver trumpets announced the
Queen's arrival. Another fanfare intimated
that she had taken her seat in the
coronation chair. Outside there had been
heard a continuous roll of cannon
salutes, and pealing of bells, all mingling
with the thunderous acclamations
of the people. But a sudden hush fell
?vflrvwhere when the Oueen, seated, took the
prayer book in her hand and bowed her head
for a short interval in silent prayer. The service
then commenced, the Canon intoning and
the choir responding, with an appeal to Almighty
God in the Queen's behalf. This was
followed by the singing of a "Te-Deum'1 to a
setting by the Prince Consort, which was
grandly effective. After the Lord's Prayer
the Archbishop of Canterbury, stepping to
the front of tbe communion table, read the
three special prayers prepared for the
occasion. During the reading of the prayers
the foreign princes and princessess
knelt, wliile the members of the English royal
family, following the national custom,simply
inclined forward. The psalm chosen
was the twentieth ? "The Lord hear
thee in the day of trouble." The Dean
of Westminster next read the lesson
for the day (First Peter, chapter 2).
Then followed the anthem, "Blessed be the
Lord thy Godr who hath delighted in thee,"
written especially for the jubilee. Ia the
middle of the anthem was inserted by request
of the Queen, the chorale "Gorha,"
composed by her husband, Prince Albert
The remainder of the service was
conducted by the Archbishop of Cantebury.
The final organ solo was prolonged to
-?u1~ firvr? tn inin in the nrnvpr.
cLUiUlC U1C .,
Before the cessation of the strains the ceremony
ended,
The Qneen, rising from the coronation
chair, signaled to the heir apparent to approach
her. The Prince of wales immediately
stepped to her Majesty's side, and,
making a low obeisance, kissed her
hands. The Queen kissed her son on the
cheek before permitting him to depart.
The Crown Prince of Germany next approaches
and kissed her Majesty's hand, an
example which was followed by every other
prince on the dais. In each case her Majesty
returned the salute with a motherly kiss on
the cheek or forehead. The princesses on the
left of the Queen, headed by the Crown Princess
of Germany and the Princess of Wales,
;hen went through a similar ceremony. The
salutation of the first-named lady was remarkable
for its warmth and heartiness, and the
nore remarkable in the fact that just as her
Royal Highness wasabout to retire herMajesty
jailed her back and kissed her a second tima
Then her Ma jest}' intimated to the LordChamserlain
that she was ready, and the return
journey was commenced, the organist plajng
the March of the Priests in "Athaiie' as
the procession, in the same order as at the
:omrnencement of the proceedings, left the
sacred edifice.
The Queen left the Abbey, leaning on the
arm of the Lord Chamberlain. The procession,
which came by the Thames Embanknent,returnod
via Whitehall, j>assingthe War,
Admiralitv, and other State departments,
which were decorated with flags and festoons
ill along ^heir fronts. The return was made
imid a prolonged and unbroken succession of
popular acclamations, the Queen responding
ay bowing to the right and left. The procession
readied _ Buckingham Palace shortly
ifter o'clock, and five minutes
ater her Majesty passed into the
)a!ace amid the nio-t tumultions
cheering with her escort of Generals
)n either side. The Marquis and Marchioness
)f Salisbury, who had hurried to the palace
by a shorter way from the Abbey, were
present to receive her.
iiuriuenrs ui mu u;iy.
Other Americans present nt the service in
the Abbey were United States Ministers
Phelps and Lawton, Senators MePhersonand
Hale, Congressman Perry Belmont. ex-GovJi'iior
English, of Connecticut, and others.
Mr. Phelps drove to Westminister Abbey
in n landau. His bin .-k coat was in conspicuous
contrast with the brilliant uniforms of
lis brother diplomats.
The Queen's dress was not striking. Across
ler breast she wore the broad blue ribbon of
he Garter. The only other de-oration she
ivore was that of the Order of Cobnrg-Gotha.
The most conspicuous figure in the procesilon
was the German Crown Prince, wnose
nagnificent phj'sique, set off by a snow-white
mitorm, shone conspicuously among the
irincely throng.
A reception and banquet were given at the
lalace at night, the guests being limited to
nenibers of royal families and diplomats.
Mr. Phelps was present.
The police reports show that fifty persons
were admitted to Charing Cross Hospital during
the day. The majority of tnem had
fainted in consequence of the great rush.
_)ne man was killed by a horse. Several
Datients were also admitted to Westminster
Hospital who were suffering from prostration
caused by the heat, crowding and excitement.
The horse ridden by the Marquis of Lome
was restive while the procession was moving
along and threw the Marquis. He managed
to alight unhurt.
At 10 p. m. beacon fires were lighted simultaneously
on all the principal peaks from
Cornwall to the remotest part of Caithness,
forming a connected chain of signals over
the whole country.
t?i oil T^iirnnAan canitals there was a
great rejoicing over the Queen's jubilee
day,
The jubilee illuminations at night were
splendid, and were viewed by immense
crowds.
CONFEDERATE FLAGS.
President Cleveland Revokes the
Order for Their Return.
A Washington special says that the extraordinary
outburst of public sentiment
throughout the country, condemning the return
of captured Confederate flags to the
Governors of the respective Southern States,
had an immediate result at the "White House
in the issue of the following letter from the
President to the Secretary of War:
"I have to-day considered with more care
than when the subject was orally presented
to me the action of your department
directing letters to be addressed to the
Governors of all the States offering to return,
if desired, to the loyal States the Union
flags captured during the war of the rebellion
by the Confederate forces and
afterwards recovered by Government troops;
and to the Confederate States the flags cap- I
TTninn fntvos nil nf whirh for I
many years, have been packed in bores and '
stored in the cellar and attic of the War De- !
partment. I am of the opinion that the return !
of the flags in the manner thus contemplated 1
is not authorized by existing law, nor justi- I
fled as an Executive act. I request, therefore,
that no further steps be taken in the !
matter, except to examjne and inventory 1
these flags and adopt proper measures for '
I their preservation. Any direction as to the
final disposition of thepi should originate with
Congress. Yonrs truly, j
"Grover Cleveland."
Prior to the issue of this letter dispatches
from G. A. R. veterans and others came pour- i
ing into Washington protesting against the
original order, and legal proceedings in behalf
of the State of Ohio?or at least of the Gov- j
ernor and leading men of that State?had been
set on foot to procure an injunction against I
the carrying out of the order. Governor
Foraker transmitted to the President a telegram
he had received from the Ohio Department
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
said to represent 37,000 ex-soldiers, protesting
against the order, and added for himself:
"In transmitting this message I desire to
comply with its request, and do most ear??4.1?

relates. The patriotic people of this State are
shocked and indignant beyond anything I can
express. I earnestly request you to revoke
the order that has given such unqualified
offense."
The Governor also sent the following to
General Bovnflbn at Washington:
"Get the best legal advice, and if action can
be maintained have appropriate legal proceedings
instituted to enjoin the return of the
tebel nags, especially those captured by Ohio
I troops. If tnis outrage must be committed
it will at least help us to endure it with greater
patience to know that all lawful means
have been used to prevent it. All expenses
will be provided."
General Boynton, acting upon Governor
Foraker's instructions, engaged ex-Secretary
George S. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, and
Judge Shdfabarger, of Ohio, as counsel to
institute proceedings to enjoin the Secretary
of War from carrying out the order. The
matter would have been brought before
the Supreme Court of the District
The papers were to have been based upon the
claim tnat the Secretary of War was about
to dispose of public property without authority
of law.
FALLING TREES,
Three Persons Killed In Delaware
and Three in Texas.
During a heavy gale a big tree fell against
two frame houses near "Wilmington, DeL,
crushing them into fragments. Mrs. James
Noble, Mrs. George Doran and Frank Doran,
two years old, were killed; George Doran and
Joseph Doran, his child, were badly injured.
In a wind storm at Fair Play, Texas, on the
same day, a tree was blown down, crushing
the residence of Mrs. Watkins and instantly
killing her sister, Mrs. Albert Tite, and her
two small children.
THE NATIONAL GAME. .
The Bostons expect to clear at least $70,000
this season.
I Stagg,' the famous Yale pitcher, expects to
oecome a preacher of the Gospel.
The New Yorks hare lost eight games this
leason when a base hit would have either
iron or tied the game.
When a game is lost, at least eight memoers
of the nine are unanimous in expressing
ihat the pitcher lost the match.

him with $60, ladies subscribing with the rest.
The first triple play of the season was made
by the Baltimores at Cincinnati. Greenwood
caught a liner, touched on second and threw

Maul, who was considered the best pitcher
in the Southern League, has Leen secured by

What makes umpiring particularly trying

Coaching, the Boston Courier says, will
undoubtedly be done away with next season.
It is not enjoyed by the spectators, and the
I yelling and hooting that it engenders is evidently
done to disconcert the players.
In a recent Denver-Topeka game Tebeau,
in the sixth inning, made a home run when
the bases were full, bringing in four runs.

A TEBKIBLE TUMBLEi
An Immense Balloon Falls Over Two
Miles Like a Shot.
An immense balloon which left St. Lonis a
few days ago in charge of Aeronaut Moors
had a short but eventful journey. Th?
great air ship attained a height of 16,000
feet above the surface of the earth, according
to the instruments of the United State*
Signal Service. This is the highest on record
in America. At this point the thermomefcermarked
37 degrees Fahrenheit. It seemed ^
verv cold, coming from a heat of 95 degree*
in the shade an hour before. The air swp
left the earth as if reluctant to depart, but
once on its voyage it gained speed rapidly
and was quickly among the clouds. Moore
hurt his hand badly just as they were ascending,
and the loss of blood rendered him senseless.
One of the party relates these incidents:
"Professor Hazen, of the signal service,
sings out: 'We're going too fast'
There is much excitement, but it
calms in a minute, for the instrument records
a falling. Again the signal officer
gives a warning, 'We are falling dreadfully,'
and tosses out a handful of circulars, Thioy
shoot upward. Moore, half aroused, realized
the peril and calls all hands to drop
ballast He sand falls scarcely faster
than the car, and the earth seems to fly op*v
ward; rivers, fields, houses spread out as a
vast map, growing terribly each minute.
Moore sings out: "oometning wrung, uyja,
if we don't stop her, we are lost;" 1,000 feet
from the earth, and still tumbling madly;
700, and the drag rope touches earth;
600, and the check is perceptible. At 400th?
balloon skims along, railing no more; the 800
feet of drag rope resting on thaearth gave the
relief. More ballast was thrown out, and .
the air ship again ascended, this time
to 6,000 feet. The aeronaut then no*
fciced that the bag was sagging, and.
announced that a landing must be made. '
When within a few hundred feet of land the
drag rope skimmed along the earth, mftlring a
trail for four miles, and in its wake followed
a crowd of natives. Several times they caught
the rope and were hurled roughly to the
ground.
"At August Palm's farm, seven miles from ?
Centralia, HI., his sturdy wife gave the dragrope
a half dozen turns around an apple tree
and brought the monster up with a ierk. The
wind caught the folds of the balloon and .
it soared like * a kite. For an honr the ^
farmers tugged at the rope, and finally *
brought the party to the ground. When the
aeronaut pulled the rip cord to his amazement
he found it already loose,, and this was the
cause of the fearful fall, so nearly
disastrous to the occupants of the air
ship. The carrier pigeons that were released
from the balloon at 2,000 feet altitude appeared
at their homes. The balloon ws?
Drought back to St Louis, and arrangement*
made for another ascent. . ?
