Another Alleged Faith Cure.

WATERFOWL, Wis, Oct. 2O.-Those who
believe that tie power still exists among men
Of healing the sick by the laying on of hands,
provided the subject you cure is penitent and
has faith finds an exemplifcation here in the
person of one William H. Bulkley, harness
maker of Chicago, who opened series Of
meetings at the Baptist church Thursday
night. Bulkley is assisted by an exhorter
who reads copiously from the Bible and
leads off in the singing of old-fashioned Cos.
pei hymns. The diseased appear in front of
the altar en- masse, and each one is addressed
by Bulkley before the ceremony of the impo
sition of hands is performed. His
most noted cure Thursday even
ing was upon Miss Ellen Biehle of
Waterloo, who was so weak with consumption
that she had to be assisted to her place be-
hind the pulpit, but when the ceremony was
ended she arose from her seat and walked
around with hasty and firm step, declaring
that she was completely cured. At this
alleged evidence of the apparent curative
powers of the man-healer. there was intense
excitement and feeling

general, an effort being made to keep the
price up. The rate of fare is practically in

they sold. Tickets were sold at one time
Friday at the rate of sl3 to Chicago, but sold

Frightful Railway Accidents and Mi

Two ofThem the Work of the Wreck
ing Fiend-Great Fire In a
Georgia Town-Other
Disasters.

MACON, Ga, Oct 20.-Barnesville, a
thrifty town of 1900 inhabitants in Pike
county, was at last accounts Friday being
rapidly rapidly destroyed by fire, which
broke out at o'clock in the afternoon in the
midst of several hundred cotton bales lying
on the platform of the Georgia Central rail-
road depot Several boys were
smoking cigarettes while playing
among the bales, and on them
rests the responsibility for the towns de-
struction When the flames burst forth the
lads ran away without giving the alarm,
thus allowing the fire to gain greater head
way before discovery than it should have
done Several hundred bales were rolled out
of the way by negroes, but seventy-five bales
could not be savel and were consumed
A strong wind prevailed and in some mex
plicable manner carried the fire beyond the
railroad wue !ouSe containing several nun
dred bales OF cotton without igniting it.
Murphy & Hunts warehouse was enveloped,
however, and consumed with 500 bales of
cotton
The fire rapidly increased in fury, and the
one engine of the town, rendered almost use
less by the great scarcity of water caused by
three months of drouth, proved utterly inca
pable Of checking the advance of the flames
Aid was asked for from several adjoining
towns, but, it is believed, arrived too late to
be of assistance
Within three hours the postofice, two
hotels, the express office, two telegraph
offices, over twenty stores, and every other
structure in the business portion of the town
were in ruins. The fire then commenced its
attack on the residence portion of the place,
and by this time has probably accomplished
the total destruction of the city. The
burning of the telegraph Office rendered
communication with the village impossible,
and the list of tie losses and insurance can
not be secured.
1t is reported that the burning of the ware
house was accompanied by the death of two
negroes. The loss will probably aggregate

Miscreants Derail Two Trains.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. 2O-Particulars
of the accident on the Boston &
Albany railroad, near Undertook, Friday
night, show it was caused by train
wreckers, who placed a pile of rails
and sleepers on the track carefully wedged
in position. The locomotive was turned

smoking cars were both piled Oh top. The
sleeper remained on the track Engineer

the miscreants who wrecked the train.
CHICAGO, Oct 2O.-The Louisville, New
Albany & Chicago railway passenger train
which left here at 7:45 Friday evening was

a switch and threw the track open.
The train was running fifteen miles an hour

aerailed. The passengers all got out safely,
and then the train took fire from some un-
known cause and was completely burned

Everybody has lost money in the last year or
two, and it is fortunate that the losses have
fallen upon the richest men. / feel the de-
probation, and perhaps i'll proportion to my
wealth; but on some rich men it is telling
pretty hard. 1t is ridiculous to suppose that
politics will change the process of liquidation.
The success OF one candidate or the other will
not add cent to what already have.
0ne of the troubles of this country
just now is the relation of wages to the cost

any branch of business gets every day money
enough to buy barrel OF -four l don't refer
to ordinary laborers, but to men skilled at
heir trades. The man who makes the arti-
Gle receives as much wages in many i'll
tances as the article is worth when finished.
Until wages bear a truer relation to pro-
luction there can be no real prosperity in
jhis country"
LATER-RATES GETTING FIRMER.
Some disappointment was felt Saturday by
travellers to find that passenger rates to the
west were rather higher than Friday and
decidedly firmer. The brokers were selling
1t the same rates as the companies them
selves. At the Office of the West Shore SIS
was asked to Chicago, S4.65 to Buffalo, and
1.55 to Albany. The New York Central
md the Pennsylvania roads were asking $50
20 Chicago, and the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna s. Western and Erie $3.50.
In the offices of the scalpers tickets
Gould be bought over any of the
above lines except the Pennsylvania, at tho
West Shore price. In the office of the New
York Central railroad tickets to Buffalo
we're sold at $4.65. There is apparently
ull for the moment in which to try and ef-
ect permanent truce, and the ticket agents
ire all awaiting orders which may come at
my moment, either to restore rates to the
schedule figures or resume cutting operations.
