It is mistake to suppose that Castoria Is not adapt ed to grown persons well as children. They only need to increase the quantity. But children have many complaints for which Castoria is adapted-hke Wind COIic, Sour stomach worms.t Tetter, Teeth- ing and Group, that it is especially recommended for them.
 Its effects are more certain than Castor Oil. It contains alcohol and is as pleasant to take as honey. It never gripes, By regulating the stomach and bowels the Castoria cOOls the blood, expels and prevents feverishness, Quiets the nerves and produces health-then of course children can sleep in quiet ani mothers can rest. ,,..4.,fs-..

A Small Boy.

Mr.. f. Flynn, now stopping with his
family at Ways Hotel, in Binghamton, is
the father of a boy who was born during
Flynns residence at Greene, n. T., and
weighed at birth about two and one-hali
pounds He is now between four and five
years old, is physically perfect in every
way, is healthy, talks very distinctly, is
very active and weighs, fully dressed, nine
pounds. His height is twenty three inches.
For a few months after his birth the child
grew as rapidly as children usually do,
but for the last three years has not in
creased perceptibly in size or weight.
Mr. Flynn is now resident Of Water
vile, n. y. Until his present visit to
Dghamton the child has never been
away from home any length of time, and
has never been on exhibition. He has,
however, been examined by some of the
best physicians in the State, who believe
that, should he live, he will never reach
the size even of Tom Thumb. Mr..
Flynns youngest child, now a year old,
is more than head taller than this little
dwarf, whose head comes but little above
the top of an ordinary sofa seat. Bling

sells son, who was fastened inside in the
debris. He called to his father: g For
Gods sake, get an AK" and his father re-
peated the call. A bystander ran for al
ak, but Mr. Bissell was impatient, and
jumped through one of the windows to
reach his son. Not sound was heard
from either of them afterward. The car
was enveloped in a sheet of flame ten
minutes after the accident 1t was impos-
sible to render anv assistance The smoke
was so dense it is supposed they both suf-
located instantly. The position of the re-
mains showed that the father did not reach
the son. The father was in the west end
and the son near the center.
The charred remains of the father were
identified to-day by watch with its chain
and other trinkets, and the son by pistol
and smoking pipe. The remains of both
were burned to a cinder.
1t is supposed that both Mr.. Bissell and
his son were almost Immediately suffo-
Gated, and that death ensued from this
cause 1t is said that the car was a mass
of flame in an incredibly short time after
the accident The curtains, bedding and
bed were all of light and intlamma-
ole material, the car was OF wood which
was thoroughly seasoned, and that with
the varnish would render it easily ignited
and quick Of consumption. After igni-
ton the heat was intense, almost as fierce
as blast-furnace. The heavy irons were
melted off and twisted into all sorts of
shapes; the brass and copper fixtures of
the Car were melted and run together in
masses Of large and small size; gold and
silver watches, jewelry and glass were
melted into liquid form and dropped upon
the ground and cooled off in masses in
all sorts of fantastic shapes and sizes.
The scene is described by eye-witnesses
as heart-rending in the extreme. Nearly
all those who escaped were in an almost
nude condition, and the night was terribly
cold. Some of them were injured, and
the blood was streaming from their
wounds. The families living in the vi
cinity were promptly on hand, and they,
with the passengers in the coach, soon
provided the destitute ones with enough
clothing to protect them from the cold.

Remarkable Rifle Shooting.

Mr.. James l.. s. Kellner, of Company
d, Thirteenth Regiment, one of the best
short-range riflemen in the State, entered
a rifle gallery in Court street, Brooklyn,
on Thursday night, and, in conversation
with some friends, made wager that he
would, in shooting at two targets, ten
shots each, at 200 yards range, lying down
position, make ten consecutive bulls eyes.
The bet was at once accepted, and Mr..
Kellner, selecting brcech loading rifle,
with rear circular sight began firing. On
his second target he made eight bull's
eyes and two centers, counting iorty-eight
out Of a possible fifty. On his third tar
get he made ten consecutive bulls eyes,
counting fifty out of possible fifty. Mr..
Kellner then made another wager that he
would make over 300 points out of apossi-
bic 800 This bet was at once accepted and
the shooting continued On his fourth
target he made eight bulls eyes, a center
and an inner, counting forty seven out of
possible fifty. On his fifth target he
made nine bulls eyes and an inner, count
ing forty eight out OF possible fifty. On
his sixth and last target he made nine
bulls eyes and center, counting him
forty nine out of possible fifty, thus
scoring 292 points out of possible 800.
Applause greeted Mr.. kellner's success
full accomplishment of the feat, which
has never been equaled in any gallery in
the country. Mr.. Kellner will be Captain
of German rifle team al The Centennia.

PRINCETON, IND.

EVANSVILLE, Feb. 2S.
Tie town of Princeton, twenty-eight
miles north of this city, was visited by a
hurricane last night at seven o'clock,
causing great destruction of property
and injuripg. many persons. The storm
travelled in northeasterly direction,
passing diagonally over the town, and
thence through the county. The storm
lasted only a few minutes, but destroyed
property variously estimated at from $780,
900 to $3.50, 900, though it is impossi-
BILE as yet to make any accurate calcula-
ton of damage Numerous farms with
their buildings throughout the county
have also been destroyed, SO that the
whole loss in the county will be nearly Il
quarter of a million.
Some fifty or more buildings are either
wholly or nearly destroyed. Prominent
among them are the new public school
building, which has lost its cupola and
the greater part of its roof; a grist- mill, ,
furniture factory, both completely wreck
ed; Blair's Church destroyed, and several
others badly injured.
The amount OF personal injury is Won
derfully small, no person having been
killed, and only two or three cases where
the injuries are likely to prove fatal
In some places the houses were swept
entirely away and carried 100 yards from
their foundations. In one instance
horse was discovered in cellar, whittier
he must have been carried from stable
fifty yards away.
James Leslie, an old man who is full
cousin Of Andrew Jackson, was sleeping
in his bed IN the second story of his large
brick residence, when the wind struck
the house and tore out one end carrying
him, together with his bed, out into the
road, and without injuring him in the
least.
The vacant lots in the town in some
places are covered with lath and shingles,
which were forced into the ground to the
depth of four or five inches.
The family of Mr.. Jasper Jennings,
composed of ten persons, made a most
miraculous escape. The foundation and
first story of the house were blown out
from under it, and the second story and
roof fell down, and was almost tlattened
The family were all crowded together in
a place three feet high and from thence
were only rescued by the assistance of
those who had escaped.
After the wind subsidized, immense
quantities of hail fell, ranging in size from
walnut to hens egg
The town to-day presents most pitia-
bic appearance. The destruction of prop
erty has fallen upon those who are lily
able to bear it. To add to the terror of the
scene, two houses which were blown down
took fire and were consumed.

The Terrible Death of Mr.. Bissell and
SON.

RUTLAND, VI, Feb. "a
The New York train due to leave Rut-
land last night at ten p. m. over the Har-
lem Extension Railroad met with a seri-
Gus accident at South Wallingford, which
resulted in the death of Charles H. Bissell
and son, OF Chicago.
The accident was caused by q broken

truck OF the sleeper. 1t sprung OFF, and
over an embankment fifteen feet high.
The coupling held, and ii was dragged

sion broke the coupling cast off the truck
turnsa the car upon its side, and threw the
rear end several feet across the mill-race
way, and al nearly right angles with the
track.
The patent heater was broken by the
fall, and in a moment the car had caught
fire. The wind was blowing from the
west, and famed the flames through the
. car, the heater being at the west end. Mr..
BIssell was the first of the ten passen GERS
To get out. AL had escaped through the
windows and east door except Nj. Bis
