felt meteor OF great brilliancy shot across
the sly from the northward This meteor
IS variously described by the few who were
fortunate enough to see it. BY some it is
given the size OF large football, but by all

Bucket shops-Mutuai Union.

CHICAGO, March l2-In the United States
district court this morning a decision was
rendered in the pending cases between the
bucket shops and the boord of trade to the
effect that the board as chartered institu'
ton has full jurisdiction over its market
reports and can dictate to whom their re-
ports may be delivered, The bucket shop
men hope to evade the effect of this decision
pending iniuctions against the telegraph
company, preventing them from cutting
off reports. An agreement has been entered
into between the City and Mutual Union
company by which the latter will be per
mitted to reunite its severed wires. The
agreement stipulates the mayor shall have
the right at his option to cut them again,
that the company shall apply to the neces.
sary counsel for extension of its privileges
and shall proceed to gather its Wires into
cables and string them on short poles, pen.
ding preparation to put them under
ground.

DEADwooD, OAK, March 12,-The men
who escaped during the burning OF the
Brownsville boarding house give the follow
ing story; They were awakened by the
blowing of locomotive whistle about |
O'Clock Sunday morning. The room was
full of smoke from below and the fire leap
ing up around the kitchen stove-pipe. The
men were dazed, but four went down the
ladder and escaped with severe injuries,
and three escaped unhurt through small
sliding window leading from the front OF the
roof of the adjoining building. Eighteen
persons were in the house and eleven per
ished. Two bodies burned to ashes. The
men had saved their earnings, and, 1t Is
supposed, endeavored to get money and
valuables out of trunks and lost the oppor'
tunity to escape. The building was con
structed of pitch pine and was totally con
sumed in thirty minutes after the discovery
of the fire.

A Mad Mule.

and finally had fit, falling to the ground
and and struggling violently The fits grew
until finally he fell in one Of
them and died. During the fits, al
different times, he bit six horses, two
mules and two cows, and caught a little
boy of Mr.. Neils by the back, biting and
bruising him considerably but moi

more secure.
MEMPHIS, TENN, March 12.-The water
here has fallen about nine inches since the
decline set in, and will fall more rapidly rs
soon as the river gets within banks. Two
negroes we're drowned last week back Of
Austin, Mississippi, by the capslzing of a
dur.out. Nothing additional has been
learned here of the break which occurred
Saturday morning at Laconia Circle, 100
miles south of Memphis. When the Kate
Adams passed there force of men were ut
work trying TO close the Crevass, which was
about twenty-five feet wide. and it was
thought they would succeed. The break into
fallen levee thlrty-iivo miles below Friar' :
Point, flooded the country in the rear as
far down as Australia. This break is just
above the line of the % Mississippi levee
district, which remains intact, and planters
within that district do not fear an overflow.

day ten miles north of Marion, Arkansas.
A swift current upset their dug.out and
both we're lost. Their bodies were recov.

A Startling Phenomenon

Tuesday evening at about 1920 o'clock
the inhabitants of this city and vicinity
were startled by an earthquake, which
shook the houses to such an extent ms to
cause the windows to rattle, and in some
instances shaking the globes from the chan.
deliors. There were two distinct shocks
felt IN the city, lasting about eight seconds,
the last being much fainter than the first,
III snouks seemed 10 travel from about
northwest to southeast heing
much more severe ut the northern
part OF the city. The accounts
from farmers out on the island show that
the vibrations were much more distinct
there than In many parts Of the city, three
shocks being felt by them, while In town
there were only two, and in some parts
only one, and the severity OF the shocks on
the island brought many farmers from
their bcis on tours Of investigation, while
those lelt in the southern part OF the city
were mistaken by many rs being caused by
heavy team on the frozen ground.
There Is considerable difference Of opinion
In regard TO this phenomenon, some
claiming that II was an earthquake, and
some claiming that II was not. A mo
