MYSTERIOUS KNOCKINGS.-The family of
JAS. II. PHINNEY have been very much an
noyed and considerably frightened the last
two or three nights by unaccountable and
mysterious doings at their residence corner of
Third and Bridge streets. Night before last
Tuesday, between and 10 O'Clock they
heard knock at the door, and on answering
it no one was found at the door, but immedi-
ately another knock was heard at the next
door, and so on all around, and on going to
the door every time there was no one there.
Last evening" Wednesday, the performance
was repeated, and large cobblc stone was
thrown through the window into the house.
Officers MOFFIr and JOHNSON WELLES were
called, but did not succeed in capturing the
offender, although he made himself heard
while they We're there. Whoever he is, he is
very agile in his movements, being able to
knock at the door and get off the steps before
he can be seen or caught. 1t is certainly Il
very mysterious affair, and what it means or
what the motive of this berson can be, Mr..
PHINNEY and his family are utterly at a loss
to know. We understand other families in
the vicinity have been annoyed in the same
way, and probably by the sume person.
Stones have been thrown through the WIN
Gows of Mir. RoACnE's house, who lives
near by, several times.-JOurRdi.

PRESIDENTIAL INABILITY.
Views of senator Jones. of FLORIDA

WASHINGTON, September z. - Senator
Jones, of Florida, IN a communication to
the Star this evening, gives expression to
the following views on the inability ques-
ton:
"There has been great confuson Of lam
guage and thought on this subject. l first
affirm that under our government there can
not at any time be two Presidents. That
when the Vice President takes the Office
of President he ceases to be
Vice President, and ceunot preside over
the Senate. The Constitution Of the United
States does not provide for filling the second
office Of the government in case Of inability.
The Constitution speaks for itselsf 1n case
of the removal Of the President from Office
or his death, resignation or inability to dis
charge the powers and duties OF said office,
the same shall devolve on the Vice
President
"Is it not clear from this language that the
office Of President, in case Of his ina
biliLy, devOlves on the Vice President under
the same conditions and with the same con-
sequences as in case OF his removal, resig-
nation or death? The last clause
OF the section confirms this
view, "and Congress may provide
by law for the case of the removal, death,
resignation or inability both o. the Presi-
dent and Vice President, declaring what
officer shall act as President, and such
officer shall act accordingly until the disa-
bilitY is removed or a President shall be
elected
'1u the one case the Office absolutely de-
wolves on the Vice President, leaving the
former incumbent dispOssessed of his Off
cial character and power, the same as If by
removal. In the other case Congress is
empowered to designate an officer who shall
act as President until disability is removed
or a President shall be elected. Every
student of the Constitution can under
stand this difference in language
of the two clauses. 1t was the intention
of the fathers to keep the hands of Con-
gress away from the creation OF President.
An officer deriving his title from Congress
was not to be tolerated in the Presidential
Office one moment longer than the emer-
gency required. This jealousy did not ex-
tend to the Vice President This official
was brought into existence for no other pur-
pose than TO take the Presidential office in
case of emergency, deriving his title from
the same source as the President, and ex-
tending over the same period of service.
He was not regarded by the Constitution as
q creature OF Congress, and hence no fear
was apprehended from his holding the full
term"

SYMPATHY FOR THE PRESIDENT
Strong Resolutions of New York
aud PenEsYIVauIa Democrats.

New YORK, September 7.-At a meeting
of the Democratic State Executive Commit
tee to-day, Mr.. Purcell, of Clinton, offered
the following resolution:
ReSOl0ed, That the peoples right to be
represented in the Executive Office Of the
United States by a Chief Magistrate OF their
own choice has now again been imperiled.
This right Of the people to representa-
tion Is fundamental republican prin-
ciple of self government. Whether this
right be imperiied, as in 1876,
by conspiracy Of force and fraud among
the otiicenolders Of the party in power aim
ing 10 Duliify the peoples verdict, or as now,
by the bullet OF the assassin, whatever his
motive, that peril should awaken in every
patriotic heart, not only in the respectful
sympathy of freemen with the victim of
such an atrocity, but also to that political
vigilance which is the cost Of maintaining
the safeguard of civil liberty.
The resolution was adopted by rising
vote.

tion, which was unanimously adopted ny

THE PLAGUE OF FLAME.
Michigan Farms Reduced to Ashes
Stock crops and buildings
Swept AWaY-PeOple Fleeing to
The Lake ShOre-HamIets Conn
pleteIY DeVOured.

DETROIT, MICH, September 7.-Reports
are beginning to arrive from the northern
and northeastern portions of the State,
showing terrible condition of affairs. The
long continued drought hes rendered every
thing as dry as tinder, and numerous
''fashings," or partly cleared tracts of land,
covered with brush, decayed timber and
other intlammable materials, afford
the best possible medium for the
rapid spread of the flames, car
ried by the high winds which
have been prevailing. In ssnilac and HUI
ron counties are the scenes of the greatest
destruction, which is growing positively
appalling in character. Hundreds of farms
have already been reduced to blackened
ashes. Stock, crops, farm buildings and
fences all have been swept away.
Men, women and children have
been overtaken by the flames,
and several lives are known to have been
lost. 1t is feared, when full accounts are
received, that the loss of life will prove
terrible. The little hamlets of Anderson,
Richmond and Charleston, in Sanilac coun-
ty, are all reported TO have been wiped out,
while Port Hope, Verona Mills and Badac,
Huron county, are reported wholly or
partly burned up. The people are flocking
to the shore of Lake Huron from the in
terror OF these counties as the only refuge
from the devouring flames.
Some were overtaken by the spreading
fire. Not less than twenty deaths are already
reported, but it is hoped that these state
ments may prove incorrect. In Tuscola
county, in the uext tier of counties back
from Lake Huron and south of Saginaw,
fires are also raging, but with less severity.
The losses are overshadowed by a more ter
rible condition of things in the adjoining
counties. The same state of affairs exists
in Lapeer county. The whole country around
Saginaw and Bay City is ablaze from the
marshes taking fire. Reports of many losses
to the farmers are beginning to reach here.

A Little Charmer
Helena (Montonal DafIv Hernld

Helena (MOTtdnGl Daily Herald.
We learn from a correspondent that there
resides in the vicinity OF Harrisburg, an out
of-the-way place in Hancock county, about
three miles west of Mount Blanchard, a very
remarkable child only five years old, who
seems to have the power of charming birds
at will. Her mother first noticed this
strange fascination which she possesses
about a year ago. The little girl was
playing out in the door-yard among a bevy
OF snowbirds, and when she spoke to them
they would come and light upon her,
twittering with the utmost glee. On taking
them in her hands and stroking them, the
birds, instead of trying to get away from
their captor, seemed to be highly pleased,
aud when let loose would fly away a short
distance and Immediately return to the child
again. She then took several of them into
the house to show her mother who, think
ing she might hurt them, took the birds
and put them outdoors, but no sooner was
the door opened than the birds flew into the
t6m. and lit upon the girls head and began
oil ne ne lis remained about the premises

bird once in her hand does not fail to re-
turn. This winter a beVy of birds have
kept her company, and she plays with them
for hours at time. Every morning the
birds fly to her window, and leave only
when the sun sinks in the West. There Is
nothing peculiar about the child's personal
appearance, except her wonderful magnetic
yes, which sparkle like diamonds. The
Pp.jents OF this little child are poor, super
oho,S people, and have been very reiicent

THE MEETING OF THE EMPE-
RORS.
Views on the long Talked of Event.

LONDON, September 1.-THE Vienna cor
respondent Of the Times says: Although
the meeting of the Car and the Emperor
William was much talked about in the
spring, shortly after the accession of the
Car, and even amplifed into A meeting of
the three Emperors during the course of
the summer, all the reports have died away
so completely that the news of the Dantzic
Zsituhg stating the time of the meeting came
quite Unexpectedly. This seems to have
been the case as regards both the general
public and official circles, and also as re-
CARDS Berlin. "A communication from Ber-
lin accounts for this by attTibuting the
meeting to 6 sudden resolution of the
Car, and says the meeting has
been brought about by the presence
of the Emperor William at the cavalry ma
nnuvres At Koui,1. The Czar longed co
greet the Emperor William personsliy, as
he hal not seen him since his accession TO
the throne. Those who look at she brighter
side OF things see in the fact of this his first
personal contact with Europe taking
place through the German Emperor.
and of the initiative as to the Meeting
having been made by the Car, a sigs that
in spite of a current prevalent at st. Peers
burg there is leaning to the old traditions,
and that this current has lately become So
strong that its action is beginning to be felt
bevond the limits of Russia"
The Times in an editorial article says:
sfNo new wars, nor alliances, nor fresh de-
partuTes in policy are to be expected from
the meeting of the Emperors. The existing
state Of things will be reaffirmed and Ee-
rope, after the interview, VIII be pretty
near where she was before it,"
