A strange Body whizzing Through the
Air Passes over Hull street and DisaP-
pears-What was 1t:
4 singular phenomenon is reported 10
have manifested itself in the vicinity OF
Hull and Whitaker streets yesterday AZ
ternoon.
DR.. Louis Knorr. well known physl-
clan residing at No. 136 Hull street,stated
TO a reporter Of the MORNING NEWS that
some time after O'Clock a re-
markable body resembling an aerollte or
meteor passed over his residence, making
a whizzing noise as it went through the
air. Dr.. Knorr was absent in attend ance
upon professional duties. but stated the
phenomenon was seen by his wife and
son.
The object came from an eastelry direc-
ton and passed in a downward course at
first about fifteen feet above the 2ouse,
and. il is believed, struck upon the ROOT
Of shed in the yard, and, bounding on,
passed on in westerly direction and dis
appeared. No traces of it were found In
the adjoining Yards. 1t was described as
a huge dark body. and the concus-
sion as it flew through the air
was felt by the inmates OF the house. On
looking out they saw il. but were unable
to account for its appearance.
The rapidity with which the
object appeared and disappeared
allowed no time to gain an idea of what
il was. DIR. KnOrr is at loss to account
for il. He is unable 10 determine whether
it was a fragment Of a heavenly body
whirling through the air or whether 1t
was some terrestrial demonstration.
The manifestation is rather remarkable,
but. vouched for by DR.. Knorr, will be read
with interest.
1t is TO be presumed that the object,
whatever its nature might have been, did
not continue its flight far beyond the i'm
mediate vicinity where it was seen, and
prosecutors of scientific research may be
rewarded BY diligent reconnaissance of
the surrounding territory. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the erial traveller was not
pursued and its character investigated.

A Narrow Escape from a Fatal Affair

A Narrow Escape from a Fatal Affair.
A case of accidental shooting occurred
on Bolton street yesterday morning, which
came near resulting fatally. The victim
was a little colored girl, who, with several
other colored children, were playing to-
gether in a room, A boy about IS years of
age was among the number, and In
some way came into possession
of a pistol Not knowing it was loaded
he pointed it at the girl, whose fathers
name Is LaCOnte, and snapped it. The
pistol was discharged. and the ball took
effect in the girls right cheek, passing
through the jaw, and lodging in the OPP
posite side of the neck, where it was en-
bedded in the flesh. DR.. George was sum
moned, and removed the bullet, which is
a small No. shot. 1t was fiattened on
one side where it had touched the bone.
Fortunately the windpipe was not
cut. but the wound is of such nature
that it is impossible for food to be receiy-
ed. and the victim is in a pTecarIOus con-
ditiOn. This is only one of the many sim
liar occurrences that have been recorded
where dangerous and in many instances
fatal accidents have resulted from the
careless and reprehensible use of fire
