For a few moments on Saturday
evening there seemed to besome reason
for %supposing that a Philadelphia cate
was actually bewitchad, A mar who
had been leaning against the wall sud
denly fell sprawling on the floor;
another signalized his entrance by
screaming that he was paralyzed; and
a third who stood at the bar, before he
had time to drink his liquor land this
constituted the mystery in his easel,
dropped on his knees with a howl OF
rage and pain. One OF the persons
present had the sense TO suggest
electricity and an investigation showed
that he was right. A steel screw from
which depended an electric light had
been driven through the lath and
plaster so far that it came in contact
with an iron girder, and the men
whose involuntary antics had sug-
gested withcraft had completed the
circuit in their own persons by touch
ing q metal post or the railing Of the
bar, both Of which had metallic con.
nection with the girder.

A rumor prevailed extensely yester

A curious lawsuit involving the
question Of what is the whole duty Of
a fireman has just been remanded fol
a new trial by the Supreme Court of
Wisconsin. While the Beckwith
House at Oshkosh was burning s. 3
Paige made an offer Of $4,000 TO any
one who would rescue his wife.
Charles Ref, a fireman on duty al
the time, saved the woman and
claimed the money, but was non.
suited IN the Circuit Court. On ap
peal the Supreme Court has reversed
that judgment, closing its opinion AZ
follows: "Inasmuch as the plaintiff
could not rescue the body Of Mrs
Paige from the burning buildinJ
without imminent peril of losing hi
own life, and inasmuch as it was no
his duty as a paid officer and membe,
ofthe FIRE department TO do so, he il

1t is rarity to see starved-look-

ty, but we saw the most dilapidated
outfit on the streets Monday that
ever came under our notice. The
team were SO poor that straws could
have been shot through them, the
wagon looked as though itmight fail
to pieces at any moment and the
driver put one in mind of rag bag.
He looked like he had not washed
his face or changed his coat since the
war. Some one put some old clothes
into the wagon while he was away
from it, and when he came back and
drove away he looked at them like
he would be glad enough to have
them if it would not be SO much
trouble to put them on.
