Something that Came Over John Fam
MN,

John Fannin, OF Elk, Pa, is tough
customer. A few nights ago he loaded
up with oil.region whisky, and lay
down TO sleep on the railroad track near
Elk Creek Bridge. While John was
sleeping a locomotive drawing thirty
five freight cars came along. The whole
train passed over him. John was
found some time afterward by track
walker. He was sitting on log by the
side of the railroad. A few rags that
hung here and there about his person
were all the clothing that was left on
him. His skull was crushed in over
the right eye. His face was badly
crushed. From his throat to his knees
his body looked as if a jackplane, set
deep, had passed over it. The four nm.
gers OF his left hand were gone. The
track. walker said the man looked as II
he had passed through threshing ma
chine. He was taken home and doc
tor called. He is getting better. and he
said he must have laid on his back be-
tween the rails. The left hand lay
across the rail. The cowcatcher OF the
locomotive is only ten inches above the
ties, and the ash pan is only eight inches
above them.

foot of Eleventh and Water streets,
Washington, to witness the struggles OF
a water moccasin wriggling through
finger-hole in the cast-iron man-trap

the street and was killed. 1t measured
two feet in length, and in thickness
was much larger than the hole through
which it crept. What astonished the
boys was how it assembled the man

Figures like words, have neither truth
nor falsehood in them inherently. Ev-
erything depends on how they are used,
by whom, and for what. This is to be
borne in mind in all examination of or
reference to them. Take, for example,
the figures of our religious statistical
repOrts-repOrts of churches, and Sun
day-schoOls, and benevolent societies,
and denominatiOnal ministerial associ-
atiOns it is not to be supposed that
there is any intention to deceive or de-
fraud in these figures yet it cannot be
claimed that all the truth essential to a
full understanding of the situation is
given by their presentation. There are
in every case withheld statistics, which,
if brought forward, would put some
what different face on the matter.

gregatlOns to have the pastor follow

have lost one of our most prominent
members by his transfer to the county
Jail on conviction of crime. A careful
examination of our records has con-
WINGED me that fully one third of our
members can be counted on the dead
head list. They do nothing in the
line of Christian activity. AS to their
example, they are not bad enough to be
warning to the outside world; nor
good enough to be taken as a pattern
by anybody-in or out. Our benevo-
lent contributions look pretty well for
our numbers, but learn that fully one
third of their whole amount has been
given by four persons, and that of the
other members of the church, more
than one-half gave less to religious
causes than they pay toward public
amusements, while there are not a few

SHOOTING WooDCHUCKs.-On Sun
day a. M, Aug. 8, Alonzo Wiley of
Guilford, VT, took his rifle and went
out at an early hour to lie in wait for a
wOodchuck. AS he approached the To-
cality of the animals hole he saw in a
clump of bushes, black object which
he supposed to be the woodchuck, and
fired at it. Imagine his surprise on
seeing instead of a wOOdchuck, what
proved to be man bound out of the
bushes and spin around in the most as
tonishing manner. The man proved to
be Leonard Bemis, and when he finally
came to his senses he made it known
that he too had come out to watch for
the woodchuck, and had secreted him
self in the clump of bushes where he

Is Alcohol a PoisonP

No one who has paid attention to the
scientific testimony of the subject needs
the following practical demonstration
of the poisonous quality of alcohol:
"The most foolish bet we ever heard
Off saws the Sutro, Nevada, Independ-
ent, Ewas made last week in George
Shaw's saloon, on Florence avenue, by
Mitchell Hall that he could drink one
quart of whiskey within five minutes.
Hall had drank a good deal during
the morning, and was at the time of
betting somewhat intoxicated. The
sum of the bet was SO, which fact
alone shows the condition of the mans
mind at the time. A quart measure
was produced and filled to the brim
with whiskey, the quality of which we
suppose was about the same as that
generally served in mining towns in
this state. Hall put the measure of Ii
qnor to his mouth, and without taking
it from his lips drank it to the dregs.
Before minute had passed he fell to
the floor apparently dead, and in that
condition was removed to his lodging
house on Helena avenue. DR.. Brlerly
was summoned and emetics were Civ
ell, but without producing the desired
result. A stomach pump was then APP
piled to the man, and more than a pint
of liquor was taken from him. For AZ
hours he was unconscious of what was
going on about him. Inflammation of
the stomach set in and his sufferings
became intense. The alterations from
the inflammation, finally, it is believed,
perforated his stomach, and on Thurs
day night about II o'clock, he died.
Hall was Il robust, hard working young
man, only 25~ years of age. He drank
the whiskey in two and half minutes"
Dram drinkers tell us that intOxicat-
ing drink is good if not taken to ercesS !;
and that a man may make himself sick
by eating bread or beef, or drinking
milk or anything else. But will they
tell us what healthful food or drink a
man can take, no matter in what guam
tity, which will drop him on the floor
like a dead man in one minute Of time.
If this is not the effect of a poison, and
Il very quick poison, too, we should
like to know what the effect of poison
is. He who takes rstOug drink AS is
sold in these days must regard his life
as of very little account.
