tB- The following incident is related Of
the recent fire at Fall River 1t is said
that little fellow, scarcely dozen years
old, jumped from one of the upper windows
to the ground, and when the spectators
rushed forward to pick up the mangled
body they were astonished to see him
spring to his feet, apparently uninjured,
and start on run for his home. Bursting
into the house in breathless haste, he
shouted to his mother, "The mill is on
fire ~ and then he suddenly dropped to the
floor lifeless, the fearful sixty-foot jump
having resulted in fatal internal injuries
which the excitement of the moment pre-
vented his feeling.

Dropped Dead.

From one of the Blair county conferees
to the Congressional Conference, who has
been spending the past week in Bedford,
Pa, we learn that an aged gentleman
named Johnston dropped dead whilst cross
ing the threshold of the Bedford cemetery
on Thursday afternoon. Deceased was
aged about seventy years and had resided
in Bedford some forty years agone, since
which time he has made his home in one
of the western States. Recently he re-
turned to Bedford on visit and on the
afternoon named started to walk to the
cemetery, AS he was crossing the stile
that communicates with the City of the
Dead at its main entrance he was seen to
fall heavily to the ground, and although a
gentleman who was near by at the time
and witnessed the occurrence went to the
old gentleman's assistance without delay,
he was Mortified to learn that the man was
dead, having died instantly as is supposed.
Deceased had complained somewhat in the
morning of experiencing sort of numb
ness in the arms and legs, yet beyond this
was apparently in the enjoyment of his
usual health. He was genteelly dressed,
had some two thousand dollars in money
and drafts ON his person, and was an uncle
of Col. William X. Piper, of Holidays
burg, and is said to have brother-in. law
in Johnstown who is engaged in the prac-
tice of medicine. Altoona Tribune.

A Secret Drawer.

George Oswald, a resident Hoguestown,
Cumberland county, some twenty-five years
ago. purchased at a sale, an old walnut
chest This chest he has had in use during
all this time. A few days ago having no
further use for it, or wishing to use the
lumber, as he is cabinet maker by trade,
he broke 1t to peices when secret drawer
was discovered, in which was found a
number Of bank notes, one of which was
shown to us by Mr.. Mathew Fisher. 1t
is of the denomination of $500, on bank
of New Philadelphia, Ohio, signed by ].
Dearduff, President, and j. Blukinsderfer,
Cashier printed on fine silk paper and
we'll preserved, dated December 28th, 1916.
There were also found pair of glasses
which must have been made many years
ago which are curiosity to look at. Mr..
Oswald does not recollect at whose sale he
purchased the chest. Bankers pronounce
some of the money good.

Desperate Fighting In Navarro.

Madrid, September 29.-Unofficial dis
patches have been received here, stating
that fighting IN the province of Navarro
between the Carlists and the Republican
troops under General Moriones, continued
on Friday last, making four continuous
days of conflict. These dispatches state
on the 22nd ult, battalion of insurgents
attacked General Moriones' army at Ber-
sail, near the town of TaffalIa. A sanguin-
ary conflict ensued, resulting in the defeat
of the Carlists along their whole line. The
loss will be very heavy, and they were COM
PEELED to ask the Republicans for medical
assistance.
London, October 2.-There has been
great excitement in the city caused by the
explosion of barge laden with gunpowder,
in the Regents canal, near the Geological
Garden. Five bodies have been recovered,
victims of the explosion. The report was
heard twenty miles distant. A number of
animals in the Geological Garden were kill
ed by the explosion. Seven persons are
yet missing. Several deaths from fright
occurred. Houses two miles distant were
shattered. -Four tons of powder were ex-
ploded. A terrible panic prevailed through
out the city. nrh ap

TerrIbIe Gale In Chnrleston.

Char lesion, September 29.-The most
fearful gale known here since 1854 occurred
to-day, beginning about daylight with a
strong southwest wind, and increasing
an violence until nine o'clock, when it had
become hurricane. For an hour there
after the gale was the most severe known
here. The tide was forced up to a most
unprecedented height, inundating the en-
tire river front of the city, damaging the
wharves, and in great many instances
sweeping away the pier heads. The long
stone sea wall, known as "the battery"
famous promenad;ng resort, was laid in
ruins and the public bathing house was de-
molished. The shipping generally escaped
serious damage. Some small crafts were
wrecked /; but large vessels were only
oAaffed. Throughout the city the effects
of the gale was everywhere visible,
branches torn from trees, and during the
height of the tempest the air was filed with
states and tin stripped from the roofs,
making the streets impossible. The mas
sive brick walls of the new threatre which
had just been ready for roofing, and which
from its position in the burnt district was
exposed to the full force of the storm, were
ioveled with the ground. About noon the
wind shifted to the west, moderating the
violence of the sea, and it is hoped that the
worst is over. Two houses are reported to
have been swept away ON Sullivan's island
and one life lost The inmates of the
bathing house were rescued with the ut
most difficulty. Probably a quarter of a
million Of dollars will not repair the dam
ages caused by the gale. aaai.aa

Fire at SaratOga.

A fire broke out in the Grand Hotel at
Saratoga, on Wednesday last, which short
ly destroyed the building. The origin of
the fire is mystery. 1t originated in the
north end of the south wing in the upper
story, and it cannot be learned that any
one was in that part of the building. The
opinion prevailed that the fire was set iu-
tentionally, and that the principal hotels
escaped the conhagration is regarded as
providential. 1t seemed at one time as if
the destruction of half the village was in
evitable and help was sent for from both
Troy and Whitehall, but the firemen got
the flames under control before help ar
rived.
