A terrible accident occurred in Brooklyn, N.
Y, on Thursday last the victim being six
year-old boy named James Carroll A few
days previous to that time leak had sprung
in one of the water mains, formingin in the street
large number of boys were throwing stones,
when suddenly the ground around the hole
began to give way. The youngsters, with the
exception of Carroll, darted from the dangerous
spot, but he, apparently dazed with fear, re-
mained motionless and rapidly sank. One of
his companions laid a plank on the dangerous
ground and attempted to reach the unfortunate
child, but was compelled to abandon the at
tempt. All was soon over, the ground in a
few minutes closing. Itwas some hours before

The MOrmOns Retaliate.

Deputy United States Marshal Vandercook
and United States Commissioner Pearson were
arrested at Salt Lake City on Saturday last by
the police under city ordnance, on the charge
of immoral conduct which they strenuousy
deny. The Mormon paper on the morning of
the arrest said: This turns the tables on the
Gentle prosecutors" 1t is said that there are
a large number of such warrants out against
prominent Gentiles, and that they will be pros
ecuted indiscriminately, by hired testimony if
necessary, in order to convict them. 1t is also
said that some women were brought here sew
eral months ago by the Mormon officials to
catch the enemy"

Shot Dead at His Door,

John B. Bowman, ex- Mayor of East st. Louis,
Mo-, was assassinated on the night of the Goth.
He had just returned from a session of court at
Bellevillc, where he had been practicing as an
attorney, and was standing on his doorstep
when he was shot and almost instantly killed.
DIR. Frazier, who was called in, found the bullet
had pierced the base of the brain and caused
instant death Fifteen minutes after the assas-
sination closed carriage was driven across the
bridge to st. Louis. 1t is believed the mur-
derer was hidden in it. Bowmau's body was
first found by his nephew, who ran out of the
house at the sound of the shot. The city of
East st. Louis and citizens of that town have
already offered large rewards for the apprehen-
sion of the murderer or murderers.

Clouds of Transformers in Arkansas

The citizens of Helena, Ark, were aroused
at an early hour on the morning of the 18th by
what many of them at first thought to be a
very heavy rain-storm, but on looking out they
were surprised to see clear sky, filled with
what appeared to be snow fakes and not rain,
that was pattering with such force against the
roofs and windows and houses. Investigation
proved that the air was filed with grasshoppers.
Citizens who have seen the dreaded pests sweep
down and consume whole fields in Kansas say
that in numbers the visitation excelled any
thing seen in that country tenfold. They were
passing from east to west. Great numbers of
them were disabled by hitting against build
ings and other Instructions, as they were flying
very low. and porters and clerks had to shovel
them off the sidewalks into the streets. They
were the genuine Kansas grasshoppers.

The English Sparrow.
IRedding Times.

Now that the trees are Bare of their foliage
the much-abused English sparrow is putting in
his work as general scavenger of the Larvae of
noxious insects deposited on their branches and
under the bark during the Summer and Au-
tumn months, But it is only when snow covers
the ground that the plucky, self-supporting
little bird it most active. In the absence of all
other food he is then compelled to forage on the
bare limbs and bark for his living, and he does
it energetioally and effectually. Please bear in
mind that the sparrow does his work in Winter,
and does it so efectualy that there is little left
for him to do in the Summer months, which he
devotes mainly to recreation and enjoyment.
