A STRANGE SPECTACLE.
A Portion of the Chicago River, Covered
with Grease and Filth, Takes Fire
and Burns Fiercely for Fif-
teen Minutes,

CHICAGO. Aug. %.
A strange spectacle was witnessed in the
south Branch of the river Thursday after
noon. From Thirty-ffth to Thirty-eighth
street. the water is not water at all, but
Is thick liquid of filth and
grease, made so by refuse from
the packing-houses, slaughter houses.
etc. A tug came dashing along going fast
SO that her crew would not inhale the
stencil any longer than necessary, when
suddenly the river took fire and blazed up,
ana the flames spread along
at a fearful rate The schooner A.
D. Coyell was lying at dock
near Thirty-seventh street and the
captain and crew and the gang of
lumoer-shovers at work on her all deserted
The vessel and ran away for dear life. The
tug also quickly turned and ran down the
river wide open. The flames continued
to rage for fifteen minutes and then sud
denly died out. Strange to say, the Covell
was not damaged, although the LIQUID
filth on her hull burned brightly for several
minutes. The Captain was thoroughly
alarmed and telephoned down town for
several tugs, but when they arrived the i'm.
mediate danger was all over-the flames
had disappeared. 1t seems that the friction
caused by tugs and steamers wheels ignited
the filth.

Frank lanes Trial.

GALLATIN, Mo, Aug 25
After several delays and temporary post
ponements the case against Frank James
was opened Thursday. He is charged with
rObbing the Rock Island train at Winston,
Aug. 10, 1881, and with the murder of Con-
ductor Westfall. The jury to try Frank on
these charges are all Democrats. and were
selected out of panel of forty, consisting
OF twenty-five Democrats and fifteen Repub-
liCans.
After the jury had been sworn the prose
cution called eighty-nine witnesses. Dick
llddell and jim Cummings, both of whom
were old members of the gang, were
among these, but did not answer They
will be here when wanted, however Mrs.
Hite and the other Tennessee witnesses are
here for the defense, to prove Franks good
character while passing under the name OF
Ben WOodson.
The defense has summoned thrty-nine
witnesses, among whom are Frank Tut,
State Coal-Oil Inspector, and General Joe
.. Shelby, of rebel fame. The case will be
hoJly-cOnteSted one, and the prosecution
promises surprises aud soIue overwhelming
evidence. The belief is, however that the
defense has won half the fight in getting
the jury.

The dear public are equally liberal TO the cleo

in his line: he will put magnetic belt around

or fit you with an entire suit of magnetic clothes
warranted to serve the purpose of ordinary gar

from whooping-cough to hasty consumption.
Most of these have no more electric or magnetic
power about them than resides in woalen blankets
or in girdles of sackcloth. Only when applied BY
IN expert is electricity of the slightest use as a
medicinal agent, and even then its value is great
