Stranua Celestial Siuht.

COLD SPRING, IND, Feb 24-Last night
between seven and eight O'Clock ball of
fire was seen about thirty feet in the air,
above the house of Mrs. Nina Meyers, at
Cold Spring Station, and remained there
for more than half an hour, swinging to
and fro as though some one was swinging
1t about, with sparks dropping three or
four feet, when they would disappear Sew
eral prominent citizens of this place were
eye-witnesses to the strange sight. Mr..
Fred Homan, postmaster of this place,
says he saw the light or spirit or what
ever you might call it start distance of a
mile away, come right to the spot, where
the others saw it, and there dance around
for several minutes and fall at the side of
the house to the ground. The house
over which this strange sight ap-
peared was formerly owned by widow.
She married VIM. Whalen in 1875 He was
at the time line repairer for the Western
Union Telegraph Company. The winter
following Whalen was killed half a mile
west of here by freight train. Some of
the people here are so superstitious as to
think Whalen's death has something to do
with the strange sight.

AN EASTERN BLIZZARD.
Velocity of the Wind Something
Phenomenal
Buildings Unroofed and Great Damage to
Property.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26-The wind played
havoc with housetops all over the city to-
day. Shingles were blown in the air and
tin roofs were torn from their fastenings
and hurled to the ground. A three-story
house opposite the public buildings in
Juniper street was unroofed and the mass
of tin was suspended above the yard in the
rear. The spire of the Arch street Metho-
dist Church swayed ominously this morn
ing, and those who passed that way gave
the building wide berth, but it still re-
mains in position. The velocity of the
wind to-day reached forty-fve miles an
hour.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb ga wind-storm
OF most disastrous character has pre-
vailed in this neighborhood for the past
twenty-four hours, and still continues.
Houses have been unroofed and chimneys
blown down. This afternoon two of the
large atand pipes of the Lochiel Iron
Works were toppled over, one Of
which crashed into the works. Fortunate
ly no person was injured The damage
throughout the country will be consider
able.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb 26-One of the
heaviest gales Of the season set in last
night and continued to-day. The temper
ature was four degrees above. About 9
O'Clock last night, while the wind was
blowing strong gale, lady, said to be q
sister of the late Ex-Governor Seymour,
was blown from Lake Shore train be-
tween Erie and Dunkirk. She attempted
to pass from the dining car to the sleeper
with her husband, and no sooner stepped
upon the platform than she was carried
swiftly off the train. The train was backed
nearly mile before they found the lady,
who had escaped death, but received deep
cash over her left temple.
BosToN, Feb. 26.-At o'clock this morn
ing huge telegraph pole at the corner of
Maryland and Alabama streets was broken
short off by the high winds. Other poles
in the neighborhood we're broken or pulled
down in quick succession, and several
streets were blockaded with fallen poles
and inextricable snare of wires. Many
horses were entangled, and a
panic was narrowly averted. furi-
GUS blizzard prevailed during the
night in this vicinity and for long dis
tance down the Eastern coast At Port
land twenty inches of snow has fallen, and
it is still showing. Business is at stand
still. The Grand Trunk Railway is blocked
at Bethel, and between there and South
Pass is in bad condition. At st. John, N.
B., the snow is the heaviest of the season,
and the wind is blowing sixty miles an
hour. At Westfield the steeple of the First
Congregational Church was turned com.
pletely over and thrust through the roof OF
the building into the audience-room.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Testing the Power of an Ecclesiastic (
Annul a Christian Marriage,

Testing the Power of an Ecclesiastic to
Annul Christian Marriage.
MONTREAL, Feb. 2S.-Last December Eliza
beth Globensky, daughter of rich property
owner, was married to her cousin, Daniel
W ilson, by Rev. Dr. Doudet, Presbyter-
ian preacher. The parties were Catholics,
but of full age, and the registrar issued
them license. A Catholic priest refused
to marry them, as the parents of
the lady, who is an heiress, objected to the
union. Mgr Fabre, Roman Catholic Bishop
of Montreal, was appealed to by the mother
of the bride to declare the marriage null
and void which his lordship did, and the
Archbishop of Quebec confirmed the Bish-
ops action. The case has occupied the at
tention of the Superior Court here
for, some days. Counsel for the mother
lad down as an indisputable propo..
sitlon, that as the parties had
not abandoned their religion, they were
subject to laws to which the State had ex-
tended, as protection, its sanction. Coun-
sci for the husband maintained that while
England had conceded religious liberty to
the Roman Catholics of Canada, it could not
be inferred therefrom that it had divested
the Protestant Church of her right to cee-
brate the marriages of all Christians; also
that the DEGREES of the Council of Trent,
on which the Bishops had based their de-
cislons, were never promulgated iu Canada.
Moreover the judgment rendered by the
Privy Council in London in the celebrated
Guibord case clearly showed the absolute
nullity of ecclesiastical DEGREES of that
kind. The case was taken under considera-
tion by the court, and the judgment is
eagerly looked for to settle the point that
has been raised for the first time.

TORN FROM THE ALTAR.
Excitement and Indignation At d Pennsyl.
vania Revival Meeting.

New YORK, Feb. 25.-A special from
Reading, Pa, says: Revival meetings in the
village of Temple, six miles from here held
by Rev. Ulysses Grant Click, have attract
ed very large crowds. Tuesday night there
was scene Of extraordinary excitement
Lena Myers, prepossessing brunette, aged
seventeen, was at the altar among many
other penitants. Her relatives not wishing
her to become member Of the Evangel-
ical Association, rushed through the
crowded congregation up to where the
young lady was kneeling, and endeavor-
ed to take her away. They
were opposed by the singing
and praying members of the congregation
who forced the intruders back The 1ady's
sister took hold of the praying, weeping
girl, and attempted to pull her away, but
the disturbers were pushed back with con.
siderable force, and their efforts to pull her
out proved uhavailing. There was intense
excitement among the congregation, some
of whom threatened vengeance il the girl
was not allowed to seek religion in her own
way. The constable of the village was ap-
pealed to- but he positively declined to in
terfere. Order was finally restored Thus
far thirty-two penitants have joined the
Evangelists. People attend for miles
around, and one woman, aged eighty years,
walks three miles every evening to partici-
pate in the exercises. Miss Myers was
among the happiest of the penitants last
night, and says she will yet gather all her
relatives into the fold.

A Romance of South Mountain.

WoMELsDORF, Pa, Feb. 26-Conrad Ma
gle, aged seventy-fve years, who for many
years lived the life of hermit on South
Mountain on the land of Samuel Long,
was found dead in his hut yesterday. The
old man lay stretched upon buffalo robe
and the wood fire in his hearth was out.
Three days ago, when he was in good
health, be predicted that he would die
February 25 at 4 O'Clock in the morning,
and it is firmly believed that it was about
that time he died. There was no evidence
of violent death, as the old man looked as
if he had peacefully passed away. Fifty
years ago he lost his wife and Immediately
after that he went upon the mountain and
selected an extremely wild and unfre
quented place and vowed he would never
leave it nor again mingle with the people
of the world, but would prepare himself to
meet the soul of his dead wife.

TERRIFYING SIGHT.
Circus Elephant on Rampage at In
dianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2S.-"Hunkey," an
elephant belonging to the menagerie of
John B. Doris, the Snowman, became un-
manageable to-day while her trainer was
endeavoring to teach her the see-saw trick,
and, after exciting all the
other animals by her roaring until
there was terrible discord of noise, ran
headlong against the side of the building,
bursting out several panels, and through
the opening she made her escape The infur.
ated beast did considerable destruction
about the Exposition grounds, where
are located, and forced an
opening through the high fence surround
ing the grounds in the same manner that
she had escaped from the building. The
next thing she came in contact with was
barbed-wire fence, on which she lascerated
her trunk and breast in frightful manner.
Her keeper overlook her here, and, in
trying to force her back to the grounds,
sunk spear in her ear. 1t broke off,
the head of the instrument remain
ing buried in the flesh. She leaped
over the barbed wire, tearing several
long, ugly gashes in doing so. After reach
ing Fall creek, mile distant, she gave vent
to her rage by demolishing small bridge
over the stream. She was prevented from
coming toward the city, and after two
hours of terrifying conduct she voluntarily
returned to her quarters again, forcing her
way through the fence and bursting out
another opening in the building, where she
quietly submitted to being chained.
