FROM the novel of the future: "There
was loud noise like the report of an
overcharged cannon; the bursted boiler
sent the splntered iron and steaming
vapor high in the air. Marianne, the
engineers lovely daughter, was carried
with the debris, and assembled with
frightful velocity in the direction of the
clouds. As she flew heavenward the
employees held their breath and closed
their eyes-the spectacle was fearful to
witness. But young John, the assistant,
who had admired Marianne from afar,
was alive to the emergency. Selling a
flying machine, upon which he had just
received patent that morning, he
strapped it to his broad manly back,
and, spreading the wings of the
machine, vowed he would rescue the
girl of his heart or die. On he flew in
the direction his love had taken. He
reached her just as her red head plunged
through a cloud. 1t was hut the work
of moment to clasp her to his bosom.
Saved!' came from the crowd below,
who had beex watching the scene

Delightful Sensations of Hanging

A remarkable accident. which came
close to being fatal in its consequences,
is reported to have happened yesterday
morning to lad living at eco Columbia
Street. The boy is about IL years of
age, and named Doyle. Young Doyle
was out in the back yard, waiting for
companion named Hughes to come over
with pigeon, with which they were to
have some fun. In the yard was a re-
volving circular clothes-line, with arms,
and which stood on platform. Young
Doyle was on this platform, and was
whirling the clothes rigging around,
when section of the line dropped
down, and, catching the lad around the
neck, lifted him clean from his feet.
He was unable to get down, and hung
there in mid-air, as it were. The posi-
ton was one of extreme peril. Slowly
the lad was choking to death. Itwould
not have required n moments more
time to have converted him into
corpse. Fortunately, as it turned out,
little girl of Mrs. Hughes, living next
door, happened out and saw the boy
hanging in the manner described. She
ran in and alarmed her mother, who
fastened out and took the little fellow
down. 1t was just in time, too. He
was partly unconscious when rescued,
but speedily recovered. The only I'M
pleasant reminder now, of his narrow
escape from singular death, is red
ring around his neck, where the rope
chung to it, and a sunken look to the
eyes. The lad, in describing his feel
ings, said he felt splendid" as
though he was way, way up in the sky,
and just sailing in the air. "-Elmira
