THE METE0R'S MIGHT.
SATURDAYS SHOCKS EXPLAINED.
A Large Meteor Falls IN Warrington
County, Pa, and In Giving an Exhibition
of Celestial PyrotschnicS AStonishsS
tho Natives for Miles Around.


Special Dfspdteh 10 he IHteIlIGe'LeT.
WASHINGTON, Pa, Sept. 2S.-Washing
ton is bound to be the eforemost countyintht
State, and Cecil township on Saturday
added her contribution to the already
long list of attractions, namely celestial
fireworks. At about four o'clock on the
above named day Charley Richardson, an
intelligent boy, II years old, visiting at
ths residence Of John Conner, two miles
and a half north OF Cannonsburg, witness
ed strange phenomenon. While in a
field, short distance grom the house, he
heard queer hissing noise then follow.
ed loud roar like tho mighty peal OF
thunder. The sky that time wss remark
ably clear. All at once he saw ball OF
Ere flash across the heaven and coming,
as he thought, toward him.
THRILLING SIGHT. ~.
A blue streak chased the flying meteor
and a bright halo surrounded it. Itrushed
through the air With immense velocity.
A few seconds later tremendous ex-
plosion was heard echoing through the
valleys and filing the air for miles around
with its reyerherationg. At the moment
OF the explosion the Deteor seemed to
separate into myriad OF brilliant stars,
whose scintillat;ons orIned a spectacle
grander and more sublime than anything
lie had ever witnessed before. AS the
awe.stiicken youth gaz4d, spcll.bound, at
the supernatural pyro.eChniCs, they sud-
denly disappeared from sight, and the
natural order OF things seemed TO be re-
stored.
OTHER WITNESSES.
Mr.. Conner and his sons also viewed
the fiery wanderer, and their description
agrees with young Richardson's. VIII
liam Mcpherson lives four miles south
east OF Conner's. The meteor's psssage
was noticed here, and McPheraon's cattle
we're terrified by the noiss mnde. Theex-
piosion was heard for miles in all direc'
tions. Joseph Guinea, at work five milts
northwest OF Washington, says he heard
the report distinctly. He is an old soldier
and says that it sounded like the roar OF
forty cannons.
William Hanlin, Of nanlin's Station, on
the Panhandle railroad, says It was plain
ly heard in that neighborhood.
SHOCK IN WEST vIEGISIA.
AtNyellsburg, W. Va, and other points
q peculiar rumbiing sound was noticed at
the same hour. The citisans OF Wash
ington, too, heard the explosion. AT that
time several causes were assigned for rthe
perceptible tremor which ia alleged to
have accompanied tho noise, none, how
ever being the correct theory. Some
claimed that the gas well at Hickory had
exploded with immense force, others as.
serted that the famous McGuigan well had
been shot with heavy charge Of nitro
plycerine, while some were wild enough
70 suppose that 1t was an earthquake, but
the phenomena described abb seem tot
sufficient to account both for the noise and
fhe slioht tremblinS Of the earth.

Ex-Marshal Lot Wright recently
assaulted Gen Durbin Ward, because
of a speech recently delivered by
he latter, in which was presented
some of the testimony taken by the
Springer investigating committee in
relation to the dishonorable actions
of the former while U. S. Marshal.
If any further evidence was needed
to convict Wright of the crimes
charged, it has been furnished in his
vicious assault upon the aged gen
eral. A man who is mean enough
to strike q feeble old man is mean

John P. st. John has filed charges
against a large number of post
masters in Kansas, who as editors of
republican papers circulated the
charges that he was willing to sell
out to the republicans last year.
These editors have been very chary
about what they said about the
administration and democrats in
general since November last but
supposed that they had full license
to revile the despised prohibitionists,
and poured out the walls of their
wrath upon ST. John and his fol-
ers. They may find out to their sor-
row that they were badly mistaken.
