A CLOSE CALL.

During the violent thunder storm early
yesterday morning, there was one terrific
crash at about two o'clock. The building
on the corner of Rodman avenue and
Henry streets, which is occupied on the
ground floor as a furniture store, by the
firm of Samuelson & johnson, and the
upstairs by MIR. J. NJ. Frey, was the recip
lent of that bolt of lightning. The build
ing was struck by the bolt on the south
east corner, and following along the wall
for a short distance, descended to a win
dow beneath, tearing the casing to pieces
and SCATTERING the window panes into
fragments. Mr.. and Mrs. Frey's bedroom
is situated in this corner of the room.
They were stunned by the bolt, while the
fragments of glass were showered upon
them. They were not seriously injured,
and soon recovered from the effects of the
shock. The building was not seriously
damaged, as about $S will repair the in

Wisbeck, England. He is member OF
the Odd Fellows lodge at Galesburg. his
| former home. and his life was insured IN
that order.
In arecent conversation with his brother,
the Rev. VIM. Waller, the deceased had
expressed the desire that if anything
should ever happen to him. he should like
to be be buried at Sterling, where his old
est child is buried This was contradic-
tory to all of his former statements, as he
when speaking of that subject. had always
said: s.Bury me where I die" But his
last wish will be carried out. His funeral
win take place on Monday when he will
be taken to Sterling and buried there. Mr..
Waller was man of excellent habits, and
was universally liked and respected by all
who knew him. His death will be
sad loss to his family and host of friends.
In consequence of this sad accident
there will be no services at the Baptist
church to-day.

city, Deputy Coroner HAYES was tele

Woman Suffrage,

The origin of woman suffrage in wy
oming Territory in thus explained by
Governor Hoyt: "a saloon-keeper one
day said to his wife: Betty, it is shame
that should be member of the Legis-
lature and make laws for you, when
you are so much better than l. OF
course Betty agreed with him. When
this man went TO work on his bill for
woman suffrage people smiled, and the
members of the Legislature smiled. But
he was shrewd man. He went to the
Democratic members and said: Here,
you might as well vote for this, because
even if it does pass, which is doubtful,
the Republican Governor win veto it,
and yon can thus show your iberality.'
He told the Republican. members that
the bill wouldn't pass, and that they had
better put themselves on the good side
of the record any way. The result as
tonished Everybody. The bill passed by
q great majority, and the Governor,
John A. Campbell, signed it. The next
Legislature tried to repeal the bill, but
couldn't"

The Father Of One Thousand Children.

An old man has just died in Yienns
whose name deserves to be chroaicled
in all lands for the singular goodness of
his life. Ferdinand Reidt has been
known in his own city as 1.-THE Father
of the Orphans for Eearly half a GEN.
fury. He. was a man of considerable
means, and was happily married, but
il was a great grief to him and his wife
that they continued to be childless- Herr
Reitft said TO his wife: ..Since we are
not to have children of our own, can we
not be parents to some of those who are
fatherless and motherless?'' He was a
man of action, and began at once to
carry his conception into practice. He
commenced with taking fatheriy charge
of two or three orphans, but his zeal
and repute increased to such an extent
that at the time of his death he was the :
legal guardian of more than thousand
fatherless children. Those whom he
adopted in this manner were net fitfully
taken up and then let drop, but be kept
conscientious watch and ward over them
from their early education until their
marriage or their start In adult life at
the close of their apprenticeship. He
never sought fame or publicity, and
took no credit TO himself for his devo-
ton to those who had no natural claim
upon him. Anew that he is departed,
however, every one speaks of his singu--
lar life, its quietness, and yet srestIess
energy, its oonseientiousness and severe
fidelity to his self-imposed obligations.
He began by asking as . favor to be
accepted as the honorary guardian of
two or three orphans, and the calling
which he had thus taken up for his own
satisfaction, as he put it. was in time
regarded by MANY of his fel1ow-citizens
as a sort of official occupation which he
was bound to fulfill Herr Rheidt had
an especial tenderness toward illegiti-
mate children. who, from no fault OF
their own, started life under q heavy
shadow. His courage was equal to his
tenderness. When he could discover
the father of an illegitimate child. he
would seek the man out and deal piainly
with him as to the duty which he had
incurred BY his SIM. In this way he of
ten compelled fathers TO look after their
own children. who would otherwise
have fallen under the hard discipline of
the Official guardians OF such unwel-
come additions to the population. :

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Chief of the fire department Cralle has
decided to try an excellent plan, which will
encourage the hose companies to practice
regularly and as consequence become
livelier companies. He has put up for
competition gold medal which will be
contested for by our two regular hose COM
panies. The medal is circular shaped
piece of gold with raised square block in
the centre. AT the top of the block will be
engraved in semi -circle. champion Hose

means of a key, and can be removed at
any time as it is lost and won by the COM
panies. The contests for this medal are
to occur every two weeks, on Thursday
evenings for the balance of the season. the
madal to become the property of the com
pany winning the last race.
The first of this series of races will occur
next Thursday evening. The companies
will run two blocks, attach hose and throw
water. They viii be started by the dis :
charge of gun; one company running on
Main street, from Bass street to Rodman
avenue, and the other on Wells street. As
it is difficult to form any competition be-
tween the Engine company and the Hook &
Ladder company, Mr.. Cralle would like to
hear some suggestions how this might be ac-
complished. Some very interesting races
are now to be expected.

A SAD ACCIDENT.

At about a quarter past four o'clock
yesterday afternoon a shocking accident
occurred ut the Barnard O. Leas' Manufac-
turing establishment. Mr.. Fred Walter,
who had been employed there for the last
two years as brushmaker, had completed
his days work and was intending to cut
some strips for window screens at circu-
lar saw. Being probably unfamiliar with
the manner of handling the saw, he showed
the piece of wood toward 1t, and the stick
was thrown from the saw and hit him
him svuarely in the pit Of the stomach.
CHANGING off, the stick flew away across
the room and struck Mr.. Swan Hanson,
who was employed there. Mr.. Hanson
immediately ran over TO where Mr.. Waller
lay, and picking him up asked him: Fred,
are you hurts The unfortunate man ans
wered ssyes,s which was the only word he
spoke after being hurt. He was placed on a
bench, where he began gasping, and in
fourteen minutes died. Mr.. Hillhouse
Immediately sent for the Rev. Mr.. VIM.

but before he arrived, he had already
ceased to breath. DIR. Piper, who had

cident occurred, and after examination.
stated the piece had struck Mr. Waller
directly over the solar plexus, in the stom

been employed in this city. He leaves q

Sublime Tact.

. The wife of Senator Bingham used TO
tell story of the time when her hus-
band was trying to get votes in the
Pennsylvania legislature. He gave a
dinner party TO number of the menu
bers. Que of whom managed to break a
plate one of an exquisite set of Sevres
of great value. The unhappy guest fell
into an agony which Mrs. Bingham at.
once soothed by saying. with a careless
air: 1T is of no sort of consequence, for
this ware is exceedingly brittle, and
breaks very easily; just iook''--and to
illustrate her statement she took up an
other of the priceless plates and placid
ly broke it into bits with knife. Fresh
plates were brought, and the clumsy
member was 50 pleased and relieved
that, as soon as might be, he voted for
the husband OF this woman of tact.
