A CLERICAL GRINDER-South Kensington has
recently been visited by novel charity organ-
zaton," comprising a piano organ, worked by a
footman in full livery, contributions being col
lected by q wel-known clergyman, who solicits
donations, which he receives silver salver.
The explanation. as given by the reverend gentle
man himself, is that the idea Of working" piano
organ occurred to him as likely means of COL
lecting additional sums for the much needed re-
lief Of the outcast poor in his district. He has
been working the streets during the past ten days.
and proposes doing so for some time to come. The
piano is a rather elegant one, and upon it is q
white muslin curtain having the words For
charity" on it in embroidery. AS might be ex-
pected, the SHOW" is followed about by large
number of persons.

In THE GUIsE OF HERMIT.-The curiosity Of
the inhabitants of Albano has been greatly exer-
ciseL during the last month concerning hermit,
wearing the dress of the Third Order of St.
Francis, who had silently taken up his abode in
one of the tufa grottoes or the outskirts of the
town. Seldom leaving his retreat he RETAINED
absolutely from holding any communication with
the world. He was seen by passers BY either
PROSTATE before cross or extended on straw
mat reading book of prayers and he would ac-
cept of no oblations beyond bread and vegetables,
which were left by the charitable at the mouth of
his cave. Finally, however, the curiosity of the
police was also aroused. The description of his
features was found to tally with those of an alb
seconded Veronese banker, and positive identified
ton followed his arrest.

CAPT. G. M. TRANSFORMATIONS. Charles
nj. Black ford, of Lynchburg, was passen-
ger in one of the wrecked sleepers, and
there was not cooler and less excited man
in the ears than the gentleman, who was
the first to assist his unfortunate fellow
travellers. He worked manfully and with
out regard either for the safety Of his own
life or comfort. Being all excellent swim
mer he took to the water when it became
necessary to help the unfortunates and was
the means of saving more than one life.
Mr.. e. G. Holland, of Danville, was one of
the passengers who was not at home in the
waters, and would have been drowned but
for his friend Capt. Blackford, who at the
imminent risk of his life got him out of the
water after he had sunk once and was 60
ing under the second time. ''If you have
many such men in your place as Captain
Blackboard" remarked passenger to the re-
porter. 'you have reason to be proud."-

HER FATAL REvENGE.-Three men yes
terday entered the bar-room of disreputa-
BILE house in Bradford, Pa. The house is
kept by Frank Meadows, who has daugh-
ter about twenty years of age. She is a
handsome girl, and has always been kept
from intercourse with the people visiting
the saloon. AS it happened, however, she
was in the bar-room when the men entered,
and one of them, Jacob Head, aged thirty
five years, it is said, began to use insulting
language to her. Miss Meadows at first
broke into tears, overcome with shame and
anger, but, recovering her self-possession,
she ordered the man to leave the place.
Head repeated bis insulting expressions,
and closed by saying, in way of jest, that if
the girl felt her honor wounded, she could
revenge herself by shooting him. Quick as
thought, the girl sprang behind the bar,
seized revolver which was in drawer,
and, pointing it at Head, pulled the trigger.
The bullet struck the man in the left side,
penetrating a lung. He threw up his hands,
staggered out on the sidewalk and fell dead.
The girl was arrested.

FATAL LIGHTNING FLAsHEs.-The L

FATAL LIGHTNING FLAsHEs.-The nu-
merous deaths by lightning occurring during
the recent thunder storms illustrate, rs is
done every summer, the recklessness begot-
ten of familiarity with natures fatal forces
In last Tuesdays electric storms in Eastern
Ohio, Western Pennsylvania and further
north, half dozen or more persons were
killed outright by the electric fluid and
many minor disasters were simultaneously
reported More thar half century ago
Arago, the great French physicist, collected
statistics of mott tally from lightning in
France which were well calculated to make
every thoughtful person careful to avoid ex-
posure to the discharge from natures grand
electrical batteries. Suggestive as Arago's
figures were, modern research demonstrates
the frightfulness of the thunderbolt in q
more impressive way. In the birth of the
thunderstorm the aqueous vapor Of the air is
condensed into copious rains, the electricity
being first developed on the original mole
cules of water which combine to form cloud
particles of which it takes many billions to
make a single raindrop. The electrical
power or potential of the drop as it
falls as Professor TAFT has shown "on the
er than any potential we can hope to pro-
duce by means of electrical machines" Mr..
De La Rue has calculated by laboratory ex-
periments that it would require cyclopean
battery of over three and a halfmillion cells
to produce lightning flash a single mile
long. 1t is true that the most prudent peo-
pie do not always escape injury or death in
the thunderstorm. But if these facts were
popularity known scores of farmers, team
sters and other classes who annually suffer so
much and perish in our terrific thunder
storms, the lightning flashes of which often
extend FIVE miles, might exercise salutary
caution on the approach of these tempests
and retreat to q comparatively safe spot
when the celestial batteries are in action

STABBED ON A STEAMER.-The steamer
Starry Banner, used. by c. w. Reed & Son
in catching fish, arrived at Fairport, North
cumberland county, Va, Sunday, from the
Potomac, and reported n serious cutting af-
fair on board. The steamer was lying at
anchor in Smiths Creek, when Henry Boil
lisen and James Kenner had some words.
They were all aft together, and about 8
o'clock at night all went forward except
Bollisen and Thomas Lewis. Bollisen kept
talking and grumbling, and Lewis told him
to hush up, ahd the next thing that the
crew heard was cry from Lewis-"My God,
Bolisen has cut me-" A light was lit as
soon as possible. and. they found him cut
badly. The cash is about six inches long,
and is cut clear through just below his ribs
on his left side. The doctor thinks it will
be impossible for him to live. Bollisen was
arrested, taken before a magistrate and sent
to Jail to await trial at the County Court.
They were both young men. Bollsen is
from Richmond county. Lewis belongs to
Fairport, and is respected by all who know
him.

A Young GIRLS SUIcIDE.-A girl named
Ella Thompson, living at Park Hill, a short
distance from Scranton, Pa, committed sui
eide last Friday morning by taking strych-
nine. Her father keeps q drug store and
Ella, going behind the counter, said to the
clerk, young man named William Seigle:
II am going to take poison. See, there it
is." She held up piece Of paper in her
hand and laughed as she spoke. Seigle
thought she was only in fun and during q
playful scuffle which ensued the paper was
lost. Shortly after this Ella obtained anoth
er paper, weighed out a grain and a-half of
strychnine, put it in O capsule and said s.:
do you dare me to take it? Here goes
one, TWO, three" then swallowed it. Seiglc
says he thought the capsule contained sugar
or some other harmless substance and he
paid no further heed to the matter, as the
girl was in merry mood Two hours after
ward she said, with smile; "Good bye Pm
going up stairs to die," and tripped out of
The store, AS she had said so much about
poison the clerk thought she was not
in earnest but little later the attention
of Elias stepmother and another wom-
au was attracted to her room, where
the girl lay moaning in great pain.
Looking at her stepmother Ella said -
"I've taken a dose of strychnine which /
had intended for you. Give me drink of
water" Medical aid was summoned and
antidotes were administered, but she died
in the afternoon at o'clock. 1t is said that
the girls life had been unhappy at home,
aud that she had frequently spoken Of pois-
oning her stepmother.

HYDRoPHoBIA.-John Donaldson, while
walking along Ohio street, Allegheny City,
Pa, Monday night, was suddenly attacked
with all the symptoms of hydrophobia. He
WAS removed to the Central Station, where
it took FIVE men to hold him all night. He
howled and barked like dog, frothed at
the mouth and exhibited decided aversion
to water. Yesterday morning he was no
better, and the physicians have no hopes of
his recovery. Two years ago, in Portland,
Ohio, Donaldson was bitten by dog sup
posed to be mad, but as the wound healed
rapidly no alarm was felt about it.

General Logan says 1.-The camp Tires which
have been slumbering will now be kindled."
Why should they be? Tho war has been
over nineteen years, and the Confederates
ever since have invariably voted to tax
themselves in order TO give pensions to the
Union soldiers. All patriotic citizens and
we'll wishers of the country think it would
be better to let the slumbering camp fires
die out entirely than to rekinhe them. But
that would not be conducive TO Mr.. Logan's
elnction
