The principal feature about the COM
mon run of eating houses south. of the
Ohio River is the plain -nassuming
little apple pie, etc., which they set
forth. You can buy the little pie for
only ten cents, but it is seldom that a
passenger eats more than one in a life
time. After you have eaten it and drank
one or two glasses of water the pie gets
sociable, and gradually impresses upon
YOUR mind the fact that you'will not
feel lonesome as long as it travels with
you. The strangest thing is, you never
do. About fifteen minutes after YOU
have made its acquaintance the waist
band of your pants can not L, eet its note

+ A half hour later, when you retire to
your berth in the sleeping-car and fall
into a troubled slumber, the pie not
being at all sleepy, concludes to have
some fun. The frst''t thing you see in
your dreams is your body gradually
swelling in the shape of a balloon. The
balloon gets larger aud larger until it
pushes the upper berth to the top of the
car, and then you hear the smothered
cries for help of the man it contains.
The swelling increases, and you mag.
inc that you float upward and bump
against the roof of the Car like toy
balloon which has escaped from the
grasp of a child. This feeling lasts for
some time, but suddenly you swell until
you fill the interior of the car and suffo-

that it has taken hold of strong man,

SHENANDOAH. PA, Nov. y.
A terrible fire occurred here to-day. Ii
originated this noon in the United States
Hotel, a large three-story frame building.
The wind was blowing a regular hurricane
from the west at the time, and the flames
spread rapidly. By two o'clock seven
squares right in the heart of the town were
swept away as il by magic. Among the
buildings destroyed were the United States
Hotel, Odd Fellows Hall, Bells Hall, Rose
Opera.house, the Academy OF Music and
Francis large brick building. Over go
families are homeless, and unless help is
sent mnch suffering will prevail. The loss
will be fully Sl,0OO,O00. The amount OF the
insurance can not be computed at present.
Among the heavy losers are: z. J. Fergu-

from one OF the collieries, in attempting to
jump on an engine, had both OF his legs cut
off, and will probably die. A special meet
ing of the Borough Council and citizens
was held tonight to take measures to pro-
tect property and appoint relief commit
tees. A large force or police was sworn in,
and the following appeal was issued:
To the Public: A terrible fire has swept
the town. Two hundred ald fifty families
are homeless tonight. Most of them have
lost all, and are without provisions or a
change of clothing. The weather is bitter
cold and strong northwest gale is still
blowing. Everything possible for their inn
mediate relief is being done, but we must
have help. Who will aid us, and give at
