FACTORY FACTS.

Close confinement, careful attention to all
factory work, gives the operatives paid faces,
poor appetite, languid, miserable feelings,
poor blood, inactive liver, kidneys and urinary
troubles, and all the physicians and medicine
in the world cannot help them unless they get
out doors or use hop Bltters, made of the pur-
est and best remedies, and especially for such
cases, having abundance of health, sunshine
and rosy cheeks in them. None need suffer if
they will use them freely. They cost buta

CONNECTION OF THE ELEMENTS. - Just
about the hour of high noon yesterday loud
noise like an explosion was heard all over the
city. 1t came like fash of lightning and dis
appeared as quick. To some it resembled the
noise of cannon, while others described it as
arumbling noise like thumb near at hand.
The noise was closely followed by sharp light.
ming, and people were generally mixed up as
to what caused the commotion. A gentleman
who was on Exchange street opposite the saw
ings bank, doubtless saw the cause of the dis
turbance. He says that he saw coming from
the heavens what appeared to be large ball of
fire. 1t descended very near the northwest
corner of the post Office and when within few
feet of the ground exploded, causing the noise,
which was heard a mile away. The gentleman
was taken completely off his feet and says that
he looked up expecting to see the post Office
tumble to the grouod. A clerk standing 10
Watts cigar store was thrown from the door
where he was standing into the middle of the
floor. Others in the vicinity were generally
stirred up. The lightning which followed af-
fected the telegraph wire quite seriously for the
time. When the fash came Mr.. John Hall,
bookkeeper for George s. Hunt & Co., was
talking with a clerk in the Forest City Sugar
refinery over a telephone. Mr.. Hall was af-
fectea by what seemed TO be sharp blow on
the head, and the clerk was knocked over.
Mr.. w. E. Gould. Cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank, was just about turning the handle
of the bank vaut-through which the tele-
graph wire, connecting all the banks and the
police station runs-Hhen he saw globe of fire
descend on the wire, and penetrate piece of
card-board-where the wire enters the bank
from out.doors--making large hole. At the
same time be experienced numb feeling as if
he had struck his crazy-bone. The bells in the
banks and the First National bell at the police
station rang violently.
Several horses were frightened and ran away.
One belonging to Mr.. Moses took fright on
Commercial street and run over a colored man
named Josephs iujurlng him severely.

A FrFTEES-CEST EsTEBPRisE.-The
evening was delightful and party oil
we'll known gentlemen were enjoying the
air aud quiet cigar in front Of cigar
store on Market street. The steubenyille
Convention was discussed, aud the warm
weather had been disposed OF, when all at
once the msn with the hand-organ was
spied as he journeyed homeWard. Per
ceiving by their appearance that they
possessed an esthetic taste, he proceeded
10 give them a little serenade. The
round OF the grea. masters was completed,
but still no collection was offered.
Something like an hour passed,
and the engineer OF the machine strongly
limited that small iavors would be thank.
fully received. A little boy who stood
by was deputized TO pass around the hat,
and, alter coaxing pretty hard, the amount
OF sixteen cents was realized. The lad
started for the grinder 10 bestow his char.
ity, but on his way managed to get the
odd cent into one hand and the fifteen
cents into his pocket. The artist kicked
when he counted his collection, but the
enterprising youth had disappeared in
the darkness.

DoS'r LIKE Ir.-Martin Thoburn and
james Kennen, who went TO Texas early
last spring, write 10 Thoburn Brothers, Of
this city, that they are not satisfied with
the country. They have crops Of corn
and cotton which promise well, as do the
crops generally in the section OF the State
where they reside. But, then, the tenn.
perature Of the climate is just awful. The
weather is hot and getting hotter. Tho
burn says that Kennen has turned to a
bright bay color, and as for himself he is
assuming rather dark shade Of mahoga'
ny. He also has his suspicions Of the
Africauizing tendepcy Of the climate, and
thinks his hair inclines TO grow curly IL
not absolutely kink. The boys say that

SUDDEN DEATH OF Mr.. JOHN II
SrALLMAS..-The community was start.
led, yesterday afternoon. by the sudden
death Of Mr.. John 81. Slallman, the well
known merchant tailor, from apoplexy
About 1890 o'clock in tue morning
while sitting IN his store on 18th street
Mr.. stallman was suddenly stricken with
apoplexy, and fell 10 the floor uncon'
scious. DR.. K. S. Harvey was summoned

tent 10 consciousness. He was then re.
moved in a hack to bis residence, corner

topic OF conversation last evening. Al.
though never prominently before the
public except 10 the capacity OF mer
chant, Mr.. Stallman was widely known,
and respected by all who knew him. He
