OK ACCOUNT OF THE ECLIrSE.-In the
dark path Of the late eclipse across Texas,
l116 miles in width, there were thousands OF
| ignorant people, both white and black, who
had not heard that anything peculiar was
about 10 happen. Many Of these people the
eclirse surprised at work in their fields.
Many ludicrous scenes are reported. E&pe-
| cially on the plantation OF United States
Senator Coke, near Waco, was it that the
negroes went to praying. believing verify
that the Day of Judgment had come. A
terrible tragedy in johnson county may be
set down 10 the eclipse. Ephralm Miller
(colore(D with his family OF wife and
four children, lived near Buchanan, in
that county, whittier he had removed
from Tennessee six months ago. On
the morning OF the eclipse he said
he had heard the world was coming to
an end that evening, and ii so, he Intended
to be so sound asleep the trumpet OF the
Angel Gabriel could not awaken him. When
| the eclipse commenced, and the darkness OF
| totalIty came on, he ran from the field to his
| house with hatchet in his hand. He was
| followed by negro woman named Nancy
Ellison, who also thought toe world was
coming to an end. AS she got to the house
aiiller's wife rushed out under the same de-
lusion, and, looking up at the beautiful CO.
roma Of light around the black moon,
screamed, "Come, sweet Chariot" and
at the same time rushed across cotton
field, wringin" her hands. In the mean
time Miller, wishing to take his ten-year- old
boy with him to the other side OF Jordan,
raised his hatchet and split bis sons bead
open. Leaving the latter weltering in his
blood and struggling in the last throes OF
DEATH the father, on laGder, ascended to
the top OF the house. Here, with q new
razor, he cut his throat from ear to ear, and
fell to the ground q corpse. His two little
daughters escaped by hiding under bed

What Were They {?

Editors Dispatch: would be glad TO
know whether any Of The numerous read
ers OF the Dispatch observed in the heavens
last night about 8 O'Clock singular phe-
nomena which / chanced TO see.
NV little SON rushed in with the news that
there were rainboarS in the sky. Going out,
/ found just overhead, and stretching
across. say. one fourth the sky from north
east to southwest, and passing close by the
bright moon, narrow, sharply-dehned
white cloud-ssreak. That immediately sug-
eested meteor-track. Watching it for
some minutes | found that it was slow
" drifting eastward, preserving still
lis sharp outline and its general dlrec-
ton. 1t was clearly distinguishable from
an ordinary cloud both by its lustrous
whiteness and by its perfect stralghtnesss
and narrownesS OF form, just like broad
cba|k.mark, not quite the width Of the full
moon. 1t riveted my attention for ten
minutes or more, as it gradually 1loated to-
ward the east, when, raising my eyes up
ward, 7 saw another quite similar, say
twenty degrees west of it,not quite so we'll
defined but broader, and spanning the
whole heavens from northeast to southwest,
and unmistakaby not an ordinary c'oud.
Later still, but within the hour between y
and 10. saw still farther west two Others,
all bearing the same character (though none
were quite so sharp in outline as the hrSt
seen), all slowly drifting eastward, and all
ultimately visible at once (say at 9:45 and
Iater), stretching in general direction from
north to south, like broad, white mcrldians
upon a celestial globe.
What were these strongly-drawn lines in
the sky, which even the bright glare OF tht
moon almost at its full) did not etIace!
do not know; but I have half suspicion
that they were tracks Of maeteorS that hac
passed through the atmosphere perhap;
hours before.
You know that tomorrow, August 10th
is one OF the two days in the year wher
astronomers tell us to expect meteors II
unusual numbers. 1 write, then, MesSrs
Editors, in the hope that others may have
seen the phenomena | have tried to de
scribe, and may confirm OF refutc my i'm
pressions; and that by possibility, II my
surmises are correct, some one may have
seen the splendid meteors to which l am
disposed to attribute these remarkable
cloud-lines. Respectfully,
