1t would be proved beyond question at the
trial that O'Donnell went TO Africa with no
design of killing Carey and was unaware Of
the latter's presence on the steamer when
he aembarked, and Carey, according to
Pryor's theory, finding himself discovered,
provoked quarrel in order to anticipate
the blow which he expected O'DonneH

slaughter in Pryor's opinion, was
the utmost O'Donnell could be

One Theory of Tornadoes.

"Suppose," said Professor w. L.
Trowbridge, at meeting of the acad-
envy of science last night, ''for the sake
of illustration, you should t1',e Il basin
OF water and impart to it 3, the hand
a rotary motion. The rc.nsa will be
that the level surface of the water at

instead of an ordinary basin one is
used which has q hole in the bosom.
there may produced not only rotary
motion but descending spiral, the
velocity of which at the center is so
swift that complete funnel is formed.
GA similar principle actuates the cur
rents of air that meet in the formation
of tornadoes. The difference between
a tornado and cyclone is mainly one
of space. Oceans of air move in a
cyclone; tornado is mere whirling
column. The mechanical theory Of
the two does not vary greatly. But in
the case of cyclone it is possible
to predict its movements, while
tornado forms so quickly that there is

the cellar. An illustration by the rotary
motion of water is imperfect for the
reason that air is subject to expansion
and contraction. The whlrling atmos-
pheric walls of a tornado vortex are
made of air greatly compressed, while
the inner Space chimney it may be
called-is filled with air that is not
rarefied. If it were not for the capacity
of the air to contain moisture, the

would be invisible. This moisture is
in the form of clouds and
fog by the lowering of the temperature
and by compression Both of these
causes are present IN the tornado.
Practically, therefore, a tornado is a
shell of water ready to burst

A Big Blaze at Oakland.

OAKLAND, Neb., October 17.-Oak-
land had terrific blaze last night and came
near being wiped out of existence. About
2o'clock fire was discovered by C. S. Smith,
of the St. Paul hotel, in the store of A. 1. &
II. Friend, which is located on Oakland
avenue, in the most thickly settled part of
town. Soon the cry Of fire was heard in all
parts of town, and in fifteen minutes q
crowd of 30 or 800 men were on hand,
some doing all they could to sage property
and keep the raging elements at bay, while
others were standing with hands in their
pockets smilingly looking on. The slight
rain yesterday afternoon was the only thing

and all-cost sixteen million dollars in
money and thirteen years of time What
is the grand result? Is it worth all
this? How many people can use it in a
day? Let us see. On the approaches
the bridge is one hundred feet wide. On
the suspended part it is eighty-fve feet
wide. This gives room enough for two
lines of teams on each way, or four in
all. All the teams going in one direction
take the right hand road. the heavy
teams on the outside and the lighter
ones on the inside. The two roads will
allow one thousand four hundred and
forty teams to pass in an hour or four
teen thousand four hundred and forty in
ten hours. There will be eighty cars on
the railroad. and twenty cars can travel
on the bridge at once When all are
running. eighty thousand people can
cross in an hour. The total length OF
the walk is five thousand nine hundred
and eighty feet (nearly a mile and
quarter), and of this one thousand five
hundred and seventy-five feet are in

Exciting Scene at the Altar.

Society people at Albuquerque were
enveloped in amazement on Tuesday
night, when the news was rapidly spread
through the city of sensation attend
ing the arranged wedding at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Edward Powell. The lady
is niece of Mrs. Powell, and one of the
brightest and most charming young la
dies ever introduced into Albuquerque
society. Mr.. A. L. Stivers, the BRIDE
groom, is wealthy cattle-grower, the
owner of an extensive ranch in Alamo
sa, in the western part of Valencia
County. Everything was arranged for
the wedding. The wine was on ice. the
cakes baked, and at the appointed hour
Rev. Mr.. Kistler put in appearance.
The lady and gentleman soon to be
the occasion and stood up before the
minister of the gospel to pronounce
the solemn vows.
"Will you take this woman for your
lawful wife?" asked Rev. MIR. Kistler.
Iwill," responded the bridegroom
elect.
"Will you take this man for your
lawful husband?" continued the min
lister.
my God! I can't. can't!' was the
pitiful response of the young lady, who,
bursting into tears, rushed into an ad-
joining apartment.
Ladies went to her assistance and adj
vised with her, and the rejected BRIDE
groom tried to persuade her to change
her determination and become his wife.
1t was to no avail. The young lady
would not change her mind. Miss
Smedley had received attentions from
Mr.. Stivers since last winter. They en-
gagged to marry some months ago, but
since then the young lady has enter
tanned grave doubts as to their compati-
bility of temperament, but, looking on
her engagement as irrevocable. allowed
matters to proceed even to the cere-
mony, when she found it impossible to
pronounce the words that would make
her the life partner of man whom she

Bnstles, ShOnlder.Straps, Etc.

The most fashionable mOdistes de-
pend principally on the drapery of the
dress itself for giving the very large
tournures which are now in vogue.
There are, however many who do not
understand arranging these intricate
draperies, and there are flat figures that
need small hustle in addition to any
dress, no matter how full. For these
slight figures the newest bustles are
made of eight narrow frills of barred
muslin or hair-cloth very fully plated
on V-shaped foundation piece of the
same muslin, that is curved into shape
by strings tied across it-not by the OBJ
jectionable bones or steel hoops. If
anything more is needed, one or two
steels are put in castings across the back
breadths of the dress skirt. There is
also what is called hustle skirt, COM
bining a tournure and petticoat in one,
and this, when trimmed across the foot
with founces, is worn by stout
ladies, and made to serve as the
only skirt. This has some hoops
across the back that stop on the sides,
and there are one or two muslin
flounces around the foot; tapes attached
to the sides are tied underneath the
hoops to give the desired curve. An
other skirt that gives good size, dis
penses with hoops, and may be easily
made at home, and laundried there at
small cost. is also hustle skirt made of
corded muslin. The muslin with the
cords in bars takes the starch best,
but that with the cords in stripes
will do very well. These skirts are
about two yards and an eighth in
width at the foot, with the front and
side cores slightly sloped to the top,
and the back breadth sloped up the
middle, thus cutting it in two pieces to
make shapely foundation for founces
that are placed across it. There are
five of the flounces that cover it from
few inches below the belt to the foot,
and the lowest fiounce goes below the
skirt. These gathered tiOunces are Very
full, and after being stiffiy starched
they are worn ''rough-dried"- is,
without ironing. Instead of straight
belt they have French waistband
shaped to point in front, and made
quite large, with drawing-string in
the top. Such skirts can be bought in the
shops for one dollar, and can probably be
made at home at even less expense. The
hair pads or cushion bustles are still
put inside of dress skirts, but are object
ed to on account of their warmth: A
plating of very stiff barred crinoline is
a better arrangement, and may be at
tached to the belt of each dress.
Shoulder-straps similar to gentle
mems suspenders are furnished to hold
up heavily trimmed dress skirts, and
keep them in their proper place just be-
low the waist line. These may be
merely elastic ribbons sewed perma-
nently to the skirt back to be passed
over the shoulders and hooked or but
toned to the belt in front. There are
also separate suspenders that may be
attached to any dress by the hooks that
finish each end. These straps transfer
the weight of the dress from the hips to
the shoulders, and the wearer must de-
eide for herself where she can best en-
dure this weight.-Harper's Bazaar.

A Dog Mourning His Master.

George Lafferty, of Malvern, who re-
Gently committed suicide, was deeply
loved by his Newfoundland dog Duke.
The faithful animal and his master were
inseparable friends, and no matter
where Lafferty went Duke always fol-
lowed. When Lafferty rashly killed
himself none of his friends mourned his
death more deeply than the dog. Duke
took up position by the side of the
corpse and refused to leave it until it
was placed in a coffin, when he quietly
stretched himself under the bier and re-
NAMED there day and night until the
funeral. When the funeral cortege left
the house Duke broke the rope to
which he was tied and ran after the car
riages. With his, head hanging down,
as if in silent mourning, Duke trotted
under the hearse until the cemetery was
reached. When the coffin was lowered
in the ground the faithful animal stood
by and watched until the grave was
filled with dirt, and then, only after the
most persistent efforts, was he induced
to leave the spot. Philadelphia Record.
