INcgNDIARr.-Last evening, at about
six or seven o'clock, a fire was discovered
in the boarding house Of the Utah Mining
Company, which is unoccupied at the
present time. It seems that a man by the
name of Robert Robinson, who says he Is
a discharged soldier, concluded to have
quarters Of his own. So he went to the
aforesaid house and forced the door, which
was barred on the inside. Here he Iii
died a fire on the floor and was making
preparations to make himself comfortable
for the night but, fortunately, some OF
the men working in the mine discovered
the fire and it was extinguished before
much damage was done. The man says
this morning that he feels as though he
had been on a tight last night. We would
not be surprised if he would be tight Tor a
few month at least. He will have a hear
ing to-day in the Police Court.
A Few FAcrs.-It is said that there is
a certain lumber yard in Virginia where
they keep lumber for sale that haa not q

ON the mnst reasonable terms. See al

A SMALL MATTER.-A few days since
Mrs. Grass, who lives in North Wheel
ing, was alarmed by the piercing cries
of her beloved son Georgia, a boy of ten
or twelve years. The maternal instinct
being fully aroused, she ran hastily to
the door of her residence and saw a
sight to scar her eyeballs. It was
George lying in the gutter with Ed
ward HennenRn, another boy, on top,
pounding, biting, scratching, and other
wise mRltreating him TO the full extent
of his small ability. Mrs. G. immedi-
atelY did what every other mother
would have done under like circum-
stances. She picked up GeOrgie's cap,
which was becoming somewhat dam
aged by contact with dirty water, and
then pulled Edward off, allowing
George to assume an upright position
once more. For this, Edward, not
being allowed to "take It out" OF the
son, picked up rock aud threw it at
the mother. Edward, having spent the
better portion of his existence in throw
ing stones at pigeons, dogs, cats and
other vernin, was unerTing in his aim.
The stone struck Mrs. G. It was too
much to endure, and Edward was ar
rested. On Saturday morning he was
fined three dollars and costs, the Judge
putting the fine mt II low figure, in the
full and confident expectation that the
father of Edward would administer
such chNstisement to him as would
hereafter prevent the repetition of a
like offence on his part.

SHOOTING STARs.-Very few subjects
in astronomy have excited so much in
tereSt among the people ut large as the
wonderful spectacle of vast numbers OF
shooting stars, or meteoriC showers, as
they are now called. On the morning
OF the Is of November, 1893, one of these
showers occurred, which surpassed in
splendor and brilliancy any other sim
liar phenomena ON record. The shower
pervRded nearly the whole of North
America, extending from the British
Possessions on the north to the Gulf of
Mexico on the south, and sixty degrees
OF Longitude east of the American coast
to the Pacific Ocean on the west, Over
this vast extent of territory the duration
was nearly the same. The meteors be-
gan to attract attention from nine to
twelve o'clock in the evening, and con-
tinued throughout the night. reaching,
their height about four o'clock in the
morning, and continued until daylight
rendered them invisible.
The spectacle is stated by observers
10 nave been grand and impressive in
the highest degree. One or two in
stances are recorded of persons who
died OF fright, and the Second Adj
VentlstS, who were in the ascendancy
at that time, verify believed tbnt the
last day had come. Throughout the
entire night II constant succession Of
hre-bRlls, resembling rockets, was seen
moving In all directions down the ceIes-
tial vault. All, or at least the greater
part of these, seemed to radiate from "A
hXed point or star in the constellation
Leo, which is but little southeast of the
Zenith. The meIeors were of all sizes.
some appearing as large as the prinCi-
pal planets, while others seemed to he
mere points or specks of light. Ry
some the appearance was compared to
snow, while others, with excited inlaC-
lnRtion, IN the language of the Scrip
ture, Hkened 1t TO the fig tree 'casting
her untimely figs when shaken by a
mighty wiud.''
Thirteen, at least, OF these wonderful
showers are recorded between the wear
90S and 1882. One is said to have oc.
Cured at Quito in 1853, above the vol.
CanO, which led the affrighted inbabl.
tants in the vicinity to suppose that the
mountains were on fire. Humboldt. IN
his works, mentions similar display
seen by him at CumanR, in South
America, in 1893. A comparison of the
seasons of appearance of these show.
ers has led TO the discovery that thew
are likely to occur at regular intervals,
They seem TO be separated from each
other by third part OF century, or al
least some multiple of this period,
Men OF science have predicted that on
the morning of the 18th or 18th of the
present month the earth will pass
through a portion of space in which
IneteOrs abound, and that there will be
at that time display equal In splendor
and brilltancy TO the great shower OF
1888. All who wish to observe 1t will,
therefore, have to keep sharp look out
between the hours of one and six on
the mornings in question.

COAlIoTToN.-A female, slightly de-.

hither and thither last evening, about
z O'Clock, in search of a police officer.
Why she so eagerly sought one she de-
clined to tell. But as she sometimes
takes lodgings for the night before the
warm fire at the lookup, it is probable
she wanted place to sleep.
