TIE COURSE OF 4 LIGHTNING
FLASH


Prof. TAFT, Of Edinburgh, insists that
when people think they see lightning
flash 60 upward or downward they must
be mistaken. The duration of light
ming flash is less han the millioneth part
Of II second, and the eye cannot possibly
follow movements Of such extraordinary
rapidity. The origin of the mistake
seems. he says, to be q subjective one,
VIZ, that the central parts of the retina
are more sensitive, by practice, than the
rest, and, therefore, that the portion of
the flash which is seen directly affects the
brain sooner than the rest. Hence a
spectator looking toward either end of a
lash very naturally fancies that end to
he its starting point.

Mcdonald to Punish His Treacherous Rivals
Within the Party.
New York Special to Phisdelp phia Press.
An internal disintegration is in progress in the
party organization of the Democrats in Indiana
and there threatens to be sudden swapping as
sunder of the ties which have held together the
different factions headed by the prominent
Democratic leaders of the State-Hendreks
Mcdonald and Voorhees,. There was a time in
the past when, in Difference to his earlier prom-
nence in politics, Mr.. Hendricks was allowed to
pose as the chief in this triune Democratic
leadership, and in the national conventions of
the party in 1876 and 1880 he was given an un-
hindered opportunity to avail himself of the ad-
vantages which the prestige of this position
afforded, but his humiliating failure and his
rank ingratitude for the loyal support which had
been given him by his rival in the party leader
ship of his own State weakened his influence and
left csigation Of respect for the unsatisfed
desires of his ambition
Having twice failed to secure the coveted dis
tinction of a presidential nomination. it was un-
derstood that he she Id be tabooed and the man
who had stood back as the second best leader of
the party In the State should be given q chance
which had been of no avail to Mr.. Hendricks.
The State convention instructed the Indiana
delegation to Chicago to support Joseph e. Nc
Donald Tor the nomination for President. Mr..
Hendricks secured for himself, upon assurance
that he desired to do something for Mr. Nc
Donald, unanimous selection as delegate to the
convention. His treachery there is we'll known
to the country at large. While Mcdonald re-
lying on his pretended friends was resting calm
and contented in indianapolis, Hendricks and
Voorhees,, working in collusion and covertly,
were doing all they could against him Voorhees,
obtained revenge for his senatorial defeat by
Mcdonald in 1875. Instead of withdrawing
from politics, as it was supposed he would after
this humiliating defeat Mr.. Nc Donald is work
ing harder than ever before to maintain his in-
tiuenee as leader, and, in quiet, determined
way, he is preparing to avenge the wrong done
him by Hendricks and Voorhees,.
Mr.. Mcdonald is speaking almost daily in In
diana, but no one has heard him say a word in
favor of Hendricks or Voorhees,, or say anything
in support of the hobbies" which they are rid
ing through the campaign. The young Demo
Gratis are his devoted friends and followers and
there is no little soreness in the party over his
treatment. 1t is decreed by Mcdonald and his
diana should be Democratic, which is improb-
United States Senate. The knife is being sharp
Indiana-which is, he says, "the one desire of
his heart7-it will be against the covert influence
of the Mcdonald faction. The anxiety of candi-
dates Hendricks and Voorhees, would be greatly
relieved if the man they wronged could be sup
pressed, because his influence in the party as a
leader is stronger than their popularity as can
didates and from the evident effect of the work
he is now doing, they fear him as their political

A MAINE MURDER.
A Veteran Soldier Killed While Searching
for COntraband Liquor.

AUGUSTA Me-, Oct. 9-Thomas Malloy, ser
geant of the National Soldiers Home at Togus,
was fatally shot at 3 P. NJ by Charles Morgan
Wallace. Malloy and Stephen Cobb, of Chelsea,
who have been appointed special sheriffs for
the enforcement of the liquor law,
met Wallace and wife in wagon
in which was apparently packed
goods and other articles. The sheriff ordered
Wallace to halt, but he refused. Cobb caught
the horse by its bit and Malloy proceeded to the
rear of the wagon to search for liquor. Wallace
pulled pistol and aimed at Cobb, who lodged
in front of the horse, and at the same
time ordered his brother officer to
arrest Wallace. Malloy caught Wal
lace by the arm. The latter turned
around and fired at him. The bullet took effect
in Malloy's left breast The murderer ar
rested by Cobb and taken to the guard-house.
The inmates of the Home gathered, and had
not the governor appeared it is probable that
lynch law would have prevailed Malloy was
taken to the hospital and died in a few minutes

LOGAN IN A RAGE.
An Exciting Scene at Obscure Railway
Station In West Virginia.

An Exciting Scene at Obscure Railway
Station In West Virginia.
Washington Special
A most remarkable incident which occurred in
West Virginia during the recent trip of General
Logan through that State, is related by a native
who happened to be present. The train on
which the vice-presidential party were travelling
had stopped at small station on the Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad to give the citizens of the place
an opportunity to see and hear the soldier candi-
date of the Republican party, as had been done
all along the route where the circumstances or
the programme warranted. At this particular
point there were gathered about the rear plat
form of the car, on the steps os which General
Logan stood, crowd OF rough looking natives
pressing eagerly forward to shake hands with
him. The General was reaching down holding
on to the car with his left hand and dsposng
rapidly of those who approached with hand
shake and pleasant word, when q lank, red
faced mountaineer, without coat or vest on, and
having his shirt open, exposing his chest reached
out his bony fist and exclaimed: 'Lemme shake
hands with the man that raised the first rebel
regiment in Illinois," Logan Strengthened up
like flash, and in voice indicating the utmost
astonlshment and passion said: whats thatP
The West Virginian repeated his remark the
surrounding crowd having in the meantime
paused breathlessly in expectation that some
thing was about to happen Making quick
reach outward, but falling short. as thesurprsed
fellow drew back, General Logan shouted in a
rage and hoarsely: ANY man who says that
ever did that is an Internal liar" The man
made some taunting reply, which set Logan per
fectly wild, for he instantly spat full into the
fellows face and then felt rapidly around his
pockets evidently for something to hit him with.
He could find nothing but cigar, which he drew
forth, and first breaking it, threw the pieces at
the now thoroughly surprised object of his
wrath. "Get out of this" cried Logan, 'or if you
don't, III pay this colored man." pointing to the
car porter, "a quarter to whip the life out of
you.'
By this time the train began to move, and as
it passed away from the astonished West Vir-
ginians, they recovered themselves in time to
express their admiration of the fiery statesman
in ringing cheers. which was repeated until the
train was out of sight
