FLETCHER 8 sharpe Notes.

VIM. Hadley and Frank w. Hamilton were

Tor to appraise the real estate belonging to the
firm of Fletcher & Sharpe, and also to appraise
the real estate belonging to the individual mem
bers of that firm who have assigned for the bene-
fit of the creditors of the bank.
1t was also ordered by the court that the re-
ceiver renew the insurance policies on the
buildings, etc, belonging to the firm, and also
upon those belonging to the individual members
of the firm
The First National Bank of this city, by VIM
II. English, president, presented petition that
the receiver be authorized to pay to that bank
sos deposited with Fletcher & Sharpe after
banking hours as a special deposit by H. s. Per

the hands of the First National Bank land for
which Mr.. Perkins had given certified cheeky

A River Under Lake Erie.

i believe" said well-known scientist to a
reporter, there is subterranean river running
from Lake Superior through Lake Huron under
Lake Erie. and emptying into Lake Ontario
There is no other way in which to explain GER
tain mysteries connected with our great lakes
There is continuous fall from Lake Superior to
Ontario, and all the outlets that the upper lakes
have that are known is the comparatively insig-
nifcant Detroit river. That stream nevercan care
forall the great pressure and volume from above,
and the theory of an underground river such as
mentioned, seems to be the most reasonable
All the st. Lawrence fishes are taken in every
one of the lakes but Lake Erie Why9 Be-
cause they follow the course of the subterranean
stream, passing 300 feet beneath the bottom of
Lake Erie and enter the waters of the upper
lakes. The great lakes above Lake Erie have
an occasional fux and refux of their waters cor
responding with the ocean tides save in regu-
larity. The subterranean river according to
my theory, becomes occasionally DISTRACTED
by great obstacles that are constantly moving
down from the lake bottoms. Then the chan
nels or outlet are insufficient to carry off the
great volume of water. and they are damned
back and the lakes rise Finally these OBJ
structions are swept away by the irresistible
PRESSURE the river flows naturally once more
and the damned waters subside That is the
whole mystery of the rise and fall of the tides
in the great lakes

General Harrison and the Persimmon.

Old Soldier, in Chicago Inter Ocean.
Don't you remember the time Ben Harrison
made the boys climb down out of Tennessee
persimmon tree2 There had been two or three
little frosts, and the battalion was out on scout
when potato prowler discovered a persimmon
tree The boys charged down on the tree like a
lot OF wild colts on a scamper and the men first
under the tree got all the ripe persimmons The
others, seeing the pleasure on the faces of those
who had eaten, and not being well acquainted
with the habits and character of the persimmon
began to climb the tree. In FIVE minutes there
were twenty men in the tree, and
twice as many more under it who
had green persimmons in their mouths
just then Colonel Ben HARRISON rode up and
with some vehemence of manner, he ordered
the men down. They came down with such a
queer expression of countenance that the Col
onel bethought him he had spoken too severely,
and he began to say that while he sympathizcd
with them in their liking for persimmons he
must insist on discipline. He could excuse
them in this case because he would not object to
biting persimmon himself. One of the boys
presented him fine plump one as soon as the
words were out of his mouth and the Colonel
bit into it with great confidence Immediately
his face took on a puckered- upness not unlike
that on the faces of the men who had climbed
the tree He made no further remarks

Since the public announcement of Mr.. Rosen-

pilot another inventor has threatened legal pro-
ceedings against this Substitute for a cow
catcher" alleging that it not only infringes upon
device already applied for by him, but ma
terlally lnterferes with the 'ianticollision at
tachment Strange as this new device may
strike the public mind it is an absolute fact
mat the inventor has appeared before the di-
reetors OF the Consolidated Railroad Of Connecti-
cut ana asked for its adoption on all the single
track brack branches of the company
:, Two trains going i'll opposite directions upon
the same track have been unable to pass one
another without collision. but with this new at
tachment it is claimed that it can be done sue
cessfully. Take, for instance, the Shore Line
road to Boston, a single track All trains going
east can be supplied with this device, which con-
slsts OF an incline plane running out in flont of
the locomotive on the top of which are regular
steel rails These run along over the roofs of
the cars and down another inclined plane behind
the train onto the road-bed again. The east
bound train proceeds on its way at full speed
without regard to the time of the west-bound
trains Ii 1T happens to meet one coming at full
speed from the opposite direction, the latter
simply runs up the inclined plane over the roof
OF the train down onto the road-bed again and
continues on its way. The inclined plane is so
gradual that the passengers in the eastern bound
train Will notice no conclusion, the noise only
resembling passing thunder storm. The pas
sengers in the western bound train will like
wise be oblivious to anything out of the ordin-
airy rum excepting perhaps finer view of the
surrounding country. There is only one draw
back to its adoption, and that isthe possibility of

Mr.. Harrison, who evidently was expecting
some such action to be taken, exhibited no sur

amount of bail required was $6O, 000 he said he
did not then see how he could furnish it.
