The union meeting at the Presbyte-
rian church last evening was not as
largely attended as it should have been,
although there was a very fair audi
ence present, and those who were not
there have reason to regret their abb
sence, for Mrs. A. H. Hoge; the presi-
dent of the Woman's board.of missions,
delivered one of the most instructive
and entertaing lectures that one could
wish to listen to. She Is a deliberate
and forcible speaker, and in no way
darkens reason with words. Were she
to repeat her lecture it is believed she
would have and delight a far larger
audience than she had last night.

A rope-walker at Ogden had a mar
row escape a day or two ago, first by
slipping of his rope, and then by slip
ping away from an Infatuated crowd. 1t
seems that he enticed a little boy to
ride on his back across the rope,
and when half way over he stumbled
in some way, letting the boy fall, saw.
ing himself by catching hold Of the rope
by his hands in his descent. The boy
was pretty seriously hurt. Those who
witnessed it thought he had no right to
entice the boy, and would have con
WINGED him Of the fact had he not es.
capped before they interviewed him.

MKs. MARY BELL
testified: Am the wife of Mr.. Gaylord
Bell, who kept the music store in one
Of the buildings that fell; was playing
an accompaniment to vocal music
which was being sung by Miss Zehner,
Mr.. Roberts and Mr.. Wasserman, who
were standing near, when Mr.. Roberts
said: "Bun" or get OUT" can't say
which; as he spoke he was ~intently
looking at the ceiling; the first noise
seemed like falling water, but 1t in
creased rapidly; a to the front door
and took hold Of husbands hand; took q
hasty glance backward and saw cell
ing open, and the chandelier in the
rear Of the store falling; got outside
and fell In the gutter at the outer edge
of the sidewalk; at this time bricks
were falling and lamps were extin-
guished; shrieks were coming from
every part Of the building; arose from
fallen posture and ran across the street;
at this time the building was demol-
ished; did not feel floor sinking be-
meath me.
At this point the jury adjourned un-
til l O'Clock p. m. next Monday. This
adjournment is in order to give the
workmen now engaged In the work suf-
icient time to have the debris cleared
away 80 that the-walls can be ap-

The Atchison, Topeka 6 Santa Fe
road has surveyors at work laying out
a route for the extension Of the road
from Pueblo to Denver. The proposed
line will run up the Fountain qui
Bouille river nearly parallel with the
Denver s. Rio Grande railway, passing
through Colorado Springs and other
important points. The work is to be
done as rapidly as possible and the line
to be ready for graders at an early day.
This looks as though the railroad prob
lem in southern Colorado is about to be
solved.

A WOND ERFUL CLoCK.-Felix Meir,
of Detroit, has devoted ten years and ST.
900 to the construction of a clock. 1t is
IS feet high, 8 broad and weighs two TONS
1t has a great variety of automatic devices.
but the most remarkable are those connec-
ted with the striking of the time. AT the
end of every quarter hour, an infant in a
carved niche strikes with a tiny hammer
upon the bell which he holds in his hand.
At the end of each half hour, youth
strikes; at the end of three quarters of an
hour, a man, and at the end of each hour
a graybeard. Death then follows to toll
the hour. At the same time large mu-
sic box begins to play, and a scene is en-
acted upon a platform, Washington slowly
rises from chair TO his feet, extending
his right hand, presenting the Declaration
of Independence. The door on the left is
opened by a servant, admitting all the
Presidents. Each is dressed in the COS
tune of his time, and the likenesses are
good. Passing in file before Washington,
they face, raise their hands as they ap-
proach him, and, walking naturally across
the platform, disappear through the oppo-
site door, which is promptly closed behind
them by a second servant.
