CLEVELAND was recently the scene of
an awful case of mysterious warning
and sad realization. The circum-
stances are related as follows: A
young and beautiful married lady,
whose husband was down town at
tending railroad meeting" stepped
into neighbors house to while away an
hour or so until he returned. While en-
gagged in knitting a stocking, she was
startled by the sudden dropping of all the
stitches from one needle. She proceeded
to gather them up, when a lookingglass
in the room fell and broke; she then felt
that some deadly peril hung over her hus-
band, and rushed home. The front door
was open; his overcoat hung upon the
floor, and his plug hat was placed upon
the marble bust of Daniel Webster in the
parlor. With an undefinable feeling of
terror, she rushed to her room-only to
find her warning realized; there he lay
on the bed, with his boots on the pillows
and the ace of spades tightly clutched in
his hand. She did not faint, but denied
trumps and played a club-arOund his
head-until he promised to give up such
'tricks."

The Devil Driving a Locomotive.

THE "Fat Contributor" in writing to
the Cincinnati Times, tells the following /;
At the time | was in Columbus, Penn
sylvania, the community was being
startled or amused, according to the men
tai makeup Of communities constituent
parts, by the story of haunted loeomo-
tive. An engineer and fireman on the
middle division assert that while running
a night express one night last week, the
devil stepped on board the locomotive
and proceeded to run it without the aid
of fireman or engineer, those worthless
falling back in not very good order on
the tender, where they sat tremblingly
observing the operations of his Satanic
majesty. They aver that he not only
opened the furnace door and put his
head in to see how the fire was burning,
but that he actually crawled in, and they
could distinctly see him in the glaring
light industriously stirring up the fire with
his tall This seems incredible, | admit, but
both engineer and fireman say they will
swear to it. Then emerging from the fur
mace without hair being scorched he pro-
ceeded to handle the levers as though he
had run locomotive all his life, hum
ing some diabolical tune meanwhile.
He did not crowd on all the steam, as
they expected he would do, and run the
train with its passengers to destruction
at devil of rate but, on the other
hand, he used the accustomed caution,
Stacking up around the curves, and be-
having altogether like a careful, temper
ate engineer, who recognized his respon-
sibilities. Once only did he notice the
two terror-stricken men on the tender,
and then he made an imperious motion
to the fireman to fire up, and when he hes
itated the devil fired up himself so infer
nally that the fireman made haste to COM
ply with the command. 1t seems strange
that he didn't take advantage of his op-
portunity to run the train to destruction,
but he was probably satisfied with the
pace at which the passengers were going
to the devil, anyhow and accordingly
held his hand. Arriving at bridge cross
ing deep stream, he suddenly waved
them an adieu, and leaped off the engine
over the bridge and disappeared. The
men say blue flame followed him, and
they could hear great sputtering of the
water when he struck.
1t is declared in Columbia to be fact,
that when the train reached the next sta
! ton these men told the above story, and
actually refused to run any further on
that engine, so that it became necessary
to substitute other men for them in order
for the train to proceed. give you the
story as il is current in Columbia. 1t is a
strange enough story at the first blush,
but judging from the diabolical accidents
| that frequently occur on our roads, one
might think it was not so very rare
thing, after all, for the devil to run trains.

Mefeoric shower.

The shower of metcors observed in this
city on Friday night was unusually brill
liant. DIR. Edward Schaffe, who watched
and counted those falling through the
northern half of the sky, noted eighty-six
in the hour from 1887 to 2:41, A. NJ, to
which adding twenty for small ones nee
essarily overlooked by one observer, gives
212 in the entire sky for one hour, or,
adopting Prof LOOMS estimate, l,696,000
per hour over the whole earth. Most of
the meteors were small radiating from a
point in the northeast, though occasional
fy moving in different direction. The
display far surpassed any since 1850, and
altogether is regarded as one of the most
remarkable August showers on record

Good From Indiana.

Nowhere are the camp fires burning
more brightly than in Indiana. From all
sections of the State comes reports of the
enthusiasm of the people. Senator Will
sons progress has been one continued ova-
ton by tens of thousands and the pledge
comes from every quarter of a splendid Re
publican victory. The Democracy are
casting about for relief, and very many are
abandoning their new love and returning
to their " time-honored" principles. Dun
