STRANGE STORY.
The Tale of an Illinois wOman's Vision and How
1t Was Fulfilled.

1t Was FuIhlieu.
Particulars of a singular adoption are pub
lished in Centralia, H., and are doubly inter
esting owing to the social eminence and in
teprity of the foster parents Colone' +. IL.
Casey is prominent local lawyer. His wife
is an estimable lady. Their residence Is
picture of happiness and plenitude.
After married lite of many years, unmar-
ried by a regret or displeasure, save the need
of child's companionship to brighten up
the old home, they determined to adopt a
babv girl If suitable one could be found.
One night two years ago Mrs. Casey and her
sister-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Casey, OF Mount
Vernon, Ills, retired together and before
going to sleep chatted about the proposed
adoption.
Casey was electrified by a vision of childish
loneliness at her side. A baby girl with
large brown eyes and auburn ringlets lay
there smiling and cooling and silently suppl
eating for goodnight Kiss She insensibly
and it vanished. Being wide awake, the in
cident made deep impression ON her. Not
many days later a stranger appeared, bear
ing little girl in his arms. He explained
his mission: He had heard OF the desire OF
he had made bold to come TO them with
his only daughter He was anxious that she
should receive good education and all the
advantages of "a cheerful home, which he FELT
incompetent to give her. Thus speaking the
stranger placed the little one OH the floor.
Mrs Casey, from the moment OF the stran-
GERS entrance, has been staring hxediy
at the child in his arms. The baby had the
large brown eyes, the auburn locks, and the
smiles of her vision. When released the III
lie one rushed feariessly into Mrs Casey's
outstretched arms. "This is my little child"
she exclaimed rapturously. "This Is the
one want" The baby returned the kisses
and Mrs. Casey explained the cause OF her
emotion. The adopted daughter was named
Vision, That was two years ago. Ii now
transpires that she is the great granddaughter
OF Commodore Oliver Perry.

Let II Re Investigated.

Another plan for the drainage Of the
northwestern part of the city, in addition
to those which have been previously men,
toned in these columns, is to concentrate
the drainage somewhere near the Penn
Iron works and thence tunnel south to the
Conestoga under Ann street, or in that
vicinity.
Those who have given some attention to
the subject of tunnelling the higher portions
of the city in connection with this purpose
have generally come to the conclusion that
it is too expensive to be practicable.
The whole subject is one for scientific
engineering, examination and report
rather than superficial discussion without
data and if anything practicable is evel
to be accomplished survey might as wei
be made now as ever, to determine the bes
and most economical plan.

THERE is no telling what men willnot do

amazed at the conduct Of the two In Penn
sylvania who yesterday used two tons Of
giant powder as the target for their rifle
practice and got blown into eternity at the
third round and at that OF the man in
New York, yesterday, who pulled the
plug from the bottom of an ocean steamer
and sank her at her dock. 1t may he that
these things were not done for fun, and that
the parties had no intent to create the com
motion they caused. There is room for this
opinion in the fact that the men with the
rifle might have more conveniently shot
themselves than the giant powder ,ift they had
been intent on suicide. Probably they were
surprised at the result, il they lived long
enough to contemplate it. Great as theil
stupidity was, it is not inconceivable
There is no inconceivable depth to th'
stupidity of man.

THE fate Of the New York builder, Bud
densiek, who has just been convicted OF
manslaughter in the second degree for the
erection of tumble-down tenement buildings
involving the loss of human lives, should be
a warning to all that class of mechanics that
they will be held strictly accountable for
faults in building construction and use OF
improper materials in their work. The
penalty for Buddensiek's ofiense under the
statute laws of New York Is from one to fif-
teen years imprisonment 1t seems to have
been clearly proved, and he should be sent
to state prison to mediate on the Nervousness
of his crime, as well as to serve for warning
to those who come after him.

IT has been remarked that If the United
States ever became embroiled in war with
another nation possessing good navy, the
b .rtholdi statue to be erected and the
Brooklyn bridge in New York bay would be
the first targets for the guns OF the enemy.
The Bartholdi statue could be hit by shell
from behind Coney Island, and even vessel
lying below the Narrows could pepper away
at it. Besides to knock into smithereens
this great representative OF Liberty would
very much tickle the senses OF an invading
squadron. But as tho United States are
particularly devoted to mindng their own
business, and as they are big and strong
enough not to be interferred with by
their national neighbors, the probability OF
any harm coming to these two great works of
art Is yery remote.

Through the college, its teachings and
its graduates, Lancaster has been made
centre OF learning and influence that mus

How Bruin Hueged a Busy saw.

Talking about funny things" said big
bronzed, bearded man in the reading room OF
New York hotel last night, "tho funniest
thing ever heard Of happened in my saw
mill out in Michigan. We used heavy up
right saw for saving heavy timber. One day
not long ago the men had all gone out to din
ner, leaving the saw, which ran by water
power, running at full speed. While we
were away big black bear came into the
mill and went nosing around. The saw
caught his fur and twitched him a little.
Bruin didn't like this for a cent so he turned
around and fetched the saw a lick with his
paw. Result: badly cut paw. A blow
with the other paw followed, and 1t was also
cut The bear was by this time aroused to
perfect jury, and rusing at the saw, caught i,
in his grasp and gave tremendous hug. II
was his last hug, and we lived on bear steaks
tor week. When we came up from dinner
there was half bear on each side of the
saw, which was going ahead as nicely as
though 1t had never seen boar. This is a
fact, so help me Bob" and the big lumber.
