Peculiar Conduct of Three Young Eggs

Peculiar Conduct of Three Young Eggs
Can Anybody Explain This:
An incident occurred in the west end yes
terday that is likely TO go long way to-
ward destroying the confidence Of the pub
lie in that common and healthful article Of
food, the ordinary hen-egg. Ii occurred al
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. 4. II. Dray-
er, No. 20 north Mechanic street. Satur-
day evening the man of the house
purchased fine spring chicken i'll
in market and brought it home for Sunday
dinner. Yesterday forenoon the cook began
to prepare the bird for the midday meal.
Three little eggs, without shells, were
found in that portion of the bird usually
devoted to this industry These were put
in a skillet to be fried with the dismembered
chicken. just then peculiar thing hap
pened. The eggs acted decOrOusly until
they struck the bubbling fat-then they eN-
ploded with three separate cracks like
pistol shots and flew out of the frying-pan
with such force as to strike the ceiling.
Had they been dynamite they could not
have acted more explOsively. The cook
was badly burnt by the explosion, and
counted her rOSaries all the rest of the day.
Will some scientist rise and explain this
phenomenon?

A BRIGHT BLAZE,
Burning of a Broom Factory In the South

Burning of a Broom Factory I'm the South
End-W ork of An Incendiary.
At 9:S5 O'Clock last night an alarm of fire
was turned in from box 80, at the corner OF
Pearl and Patton streets. The department
responded promptly and found the fire in a
frame stable in the rear of lss Rice street.
Before water could be gotten on the flames.
however, the building was nearly consumed
and the department could do no more than
prevent the fire from spreading to the sur
rounding buildings.
The stable was the property of Ezra Viii
son and was occupied by Kelly X Lyons a.
a broom factory. Their made and unmade
stock was totally destroyed. The loss on
the building and contents is about $50.
The fire was. without doubt, the work of an
incendiary, as there had been no fire about
the building since last week.

A Gang of Toughs Gather in "a stable and
Drink Beer on Sunday.

Yesterday Phil. Gunder, Mike Cox, Mike
Kennedy. brother of Kennedy and a boy
named Kelly, were all gathered in Gunder'S
fathers stable, on east Columbia street,
drinking beer. They were ali mere boys,
but are known as some of the worst hood
lums in that end of town. Officer Wilson
wanted TO put stop TO the riOtous proceed
ings, but when he spoke TO old man Gunder
and asked him to compel the boys to leave
the place, the old man informed him that
he had given them permission to have keg
of beer in the stable, but would make them
leave as soon as they had finished the keg.
Think of it! Think of bringing up child
ren in that manner. OF course officer VIII
son could do nothing and had to leave the
gang to their beer.

The Enquirer of this morning has the
| following TO say of our congressman, Hon.
John Little
1t is thought by some that Mr.. Little is
just now interested more in John Little
than he is in the senseleSS resolutions of the
Ohio legislature. Under the rediStricting
bill Mr.. Little and Henry l.. MOrey are
thrown into the same congressional district
Mr.. M0rey has served two terms in Congress,
and he is just as anxious Ia get back as
Little can be. He has the advantage over
Little of having one term represented in
congress the identical counties which now
comprise the new district. He has more
money to spend than his rival, and will
probably defeat him for the nomination.

aGhBulish Ediocy,"

The Xenia Gazette thus graphically re-
marks: The illustrations of the Xenia flood
in the Graphic are abOminable pieces of art
of which the Graphic should be ashamed.
The attempt at comedy in the types repre-
Sented is an unnatural and senselesS piece
of ghouIish idiocy from which every person
acquainted with the circumstances will turn
with disgust. The other pictures are not
as true to life as those presented in the
Commercial or Enquirer.

EDUCATIONAL MASS MEETING.
Report of the Proceedings Last Saturday
A Success.

Report of the Proceedings Last Saturday
A Success.
The educational mass meeting of Bethel
township. held last Saturday. was largely
attended and generally considered one of
the most satisfactory meetings of its kind
held in the township. Measles in one Of
the schools of the township, the busy sea-
son of the year, the location of the grounds
and lack of thOro ugh advertisement of the
meeting prevented the large attendance,
both of schools and spectators, witnessed
upon former occasions.
During the forenoon twenty exercises
from members of the various district schools
thirteen pupils, who had passed the exami-
nation for entrance to the High school, were
presented with certificates of scholarship.
The afternoon was devoted to addresses
BY Professor f. T. Tappan, Oscar T. Mar
tin, esq, and Rev. Van Cleye. Professor
Tappan gave review of the history of ed
ucatiOn in early days in Ohio, the provision
made for fostering the common schools, the
early history of graded schools in
our cities and villages, the advantages of
system. and the influence of examiners and
superintendent upon the schools of our
state
Mr. Martin, as disintereSted observer,
dwelt upon the early condition of the
schools of Bethel township as compared
with them now, and showed the necessity
of holding the advanced ground now Occu-
pied by the schools OF the township.
Much of the success of the meeting is due
| to the decorating and entertaining commit
tees, and the interest taken by those citi-
zenS of the township who are directly i'll
terested in the welfare of the schools, and
especially of the high school
The teachers of last year have been, to a
great extent, engaged in the township for
next year, and the good work Of education
has received sufficient impetus to assure
good work for the ensuing year.

Robbed Of His Clothes and Then Chased

4 local printer, whose name is not stated.
met with a series of adventures Saturday
night that would work up well into a fiction
He was good and drunk, so accounts agree.
and in that condition was a ready victim to
three parties who profesSed friendship and
all that. The eXuberated representative of
the art preservative of all arts was finally
decOyed over on to Cedar street near the
cliff, AID in that lonely locality was deIib-
erately robbed. His underpinnng was
kicked out from under him and he
was laid Hat on his back. The
three rOgueS then removed all
his clothing and contents. down to his
undergarmentS. They then made them
selves occasional. The chill night air re-
vived the almost naked prisoner. and he
began to wander about in vain effort
TO get home. In Fisher alley a
party of belated negro serenaders saw the
shining white-robesl figure, thought it was a
ghost, and proceeded to investigate with a
shower of rocks. The printer finally Is
capped uninjured. Now, who was it?

cade shoe store. At one time last night il
was impossible for another customer To get
into the store. There must be some unuS-
ual attraction. Upon inquiry, we find that
they are retailing boots, shoes and slippers
at wholesale price, something never done in
this county before. Their enormous sales
justify the small profits, and cash ami long
experience in the business buy them cheap.
