Here comes an Eastern detective,
said a joker in Deadwood church
as the congregation was kneehng in
prayer. In seventeen seconds, says
a witness of the scene, every worship
er except the chief elder had risen
from their knees and slid out of the
windows.
The Altoona Tribune of the 18th
inst says. Yesterday morning brake
man named George Guss, whose
home is in lIiflin, had the thumb of
his right hand crushed,s while coup
ling cars at Elizabeth Furnace. He
came to this city and had his thumb
amputated.
On the 10th inst, fire broke out
in large hotel in Milwaukee Mich.
The hotel was six stories high, and
before people in some of the upper
stories of the building could escape,
the fire had cut of the passage ways
A great many people jumped out of
the hotel windows and were killed.
Others persisted in the flames, which
burned up the building. It is believ
ed, near one hundred people, were
burned to death, and killed, and
many others wounded.

4 horse was killed in the Cocolam-
us narrows between Juniata and Per
~ counties. The horse was in team
driven by man named BUrkholder
The horse stumbled and fell over
steep embenkment in that place,
and pulled the wagon, another horse,
and the man, along. The wagon
crushed the horse that stumbled,
against the rock. The man narrow
" escaped the same fate.
The toll keeper Of the Millerstown
bridge. would not allow a Dir. Cutler,
to pass through that bridge with a
steam threshing machine, because he
had fire in it. Cutler put out the fire,
but.the tollkeeper still would not
allow him to pass through. Cutler
then got up steam and ran through
the toll gate, with his engine, break
ing the gate to pieces. He paid 81
toll and also damages for breaking
the toll gate, to the toll-keeper.
The Troy \. Y, Times says: The
bonfire that boys built on the side of
hill near the Stanton steamer house
on the night of the Presidential cleo
ton in 1880 is still burning. The
subterranean coke bed to which it
spread has slowly fed the fire ever
since. Clay was thrown upon the
burning deposit, but the clay has
been baked through and the smoke
and heat have again come to the sur
face. The future course Of the fire
can only be conjectured, but it is
thought it viii not endanger any
more buildings.
Another faith cure reported John
r. Neff of Huntingdon county who
has been unable 10 walk, for seven
years, lays aside his crutches and
walks unaided. He had been in
communication with the leader of
the faith meetings at Buffalo n. Y.
They designated the hour ofS'oclock
on the evening OF the 4th inst, when
prayers for his restoration, would be
offered up at Buffalo, in which pray
ers he was to unite at his home. At
precisely s o'clock on the appointed
evening, he arose and walked across
the room, and he has walked unaided
since.
Some nights ago two freight trains
were wrecked at Juniata Bridge, a
place 80 miles east of this place.
By some means a number of the cars
CT the train eastward bound left the
track and piled themselves upon the
other track, and a freight train west
ward bound came along at the same
time, and the engineer did not see
the obstruction in time to reverse or
stop his train, and the result was a
double wreck in which the engineer
of the latter train was severely hurt
and his fireman killed and brake
man wounded Such things are
common results In a wreck OF rail
road trains. 4 most uncommon oc-
currence took place through the
wreck Just mentioned. A large empty
box car was showed to the top of the
pile of wrecked cars, and there lost
its balance, and fell over on the house
of the division foreman, crushing
through the roof down to the floor.
1t is believed that the chimney kept
it from going to the ground floor.
The foreman and his wife were asleep
