The subject of the rainfall is an inter-

''the precipitation in the temperate zone

VIII 1858 be n Year of Mnr{

. The present year is the fifth year Of
modern times in which the aggregate of the
figures is twenty-five, and there will be but
five more years in which such Comhina-
nation is possible prior to the year 2j90.
Probably few have ever heard Of the Old
prophecy, which runs as follows:
In every future year Of our Lord,
when the sum Df The figures is twenty. five
some warIilic X n"dOm will draw the sword,
But peaceful nations in peace shall thrive.
Students Of modern history will readily
recall how faithfully this prophecy has
been fulfilled in the four previous years to
which il applied.
In 1899, Russia, Denmark and Poland
formed the coalition against Sweden Which
inauguratCd the great war that ended in the
disastrous defeat Of Charles XII. at Pull
iowa.
The year 1889 will ever be memorable on
account of the breaking out of tho French
Revolution
The year 1893 witnessed the campaign
of Bonaparte in Egypt and the formation
Of the second European coalition against
France
In 1879 war broke out between ENGLAND
and Afghanistan, followed by the invasion
OF the latter country by British troops.
In what manner the prediction is TO he
verified in 1888 remains yet to be seen but
the present condition of Europe seems to
promise an abundant fulflment of the
prophecy.

The Rev. Mr.. Talmage wonders that
newspaper men believe anything. They
sec more of the sham and meanness Of

every day in tho week, and they sec the
follies and shams of the world through
dis9uises that arc as open as the day to
their practiced and disgusted eye. All
this is true, but Mr. Talmage should re-

The Indiana Election scandal.

There will be three election indictments
ready for the United States grand juryet to
pass upon when it resumes it's sitting at In
~dianapolis. 1t is thought, however, that the
evidence relative to the charges against Col.
W. w. Dudley 10 not far enough advanced to
warrant any definite action against him at
that time. The original letter in which, it is
alleged, the advice to bride appears hasn't
been produced. At the outset Of
this Investigation several Democrats,
notably Judge Claypool, Judge Ayres
and John W. Murphy, appealed to the
committee Of one hundred to take the matter
up. The officers OF the committee expressed
o willingness and readiness to do SO, hut in
sisted on having the evidence the gentleman
named had secured presented to them; but
the Democrats declined to put others in pos
session of what they had. Since the grand
jury Investigation began the committee has
been several times solicited to commence the
gathering of evidence at q point reached by
the others who have been pursuing it, but
at each renewal of the request
the committee has insisted that the first evil
dence it must have is the letter. Mr.. Murphy
went to Capt. Ritter, attorney Of the com
mittee, and urged hat he give his assistance
to the examination. Il told him." said the
captain. "that if he would bring me the letter
and the envelope in which it was sent through
the mail l ' would have something to go upon.
With that to guide me I am willing now to
give all the assistance I can, but without it
the investigation would be futile. When we

The Casualty Calendar.

The central state normal school building
in Lock Haven, Pa, was totally destroyed
by fire. One hundred boarding students,
most of whom were in the building at the
time, were safely removed. The building
was Of brick, four stories high and cost $780,
900. The amount of the insurance is said to
be small. The total number Of students in
attendance was over two hundred. Many of
them lost their books, clothes and valu-
ables.
An accident occurred on the Dudley branch
OF the Huntington & Broadtop railroad in
Pennsylvania whereby more than a dozen
persons were seriously injured. The more
seriously injured are Mrs. Allen Black, John
Dougherty, John Bollinger, Ed. F. Gould,
Misses Lizzie and Mary Laster of Dudley,
all Of whom received dangerous internal in
juries and painful cuts about their faces from
the broken car windows.
Norman, the seven.year-old son OF the late
auditor, l.. O. Storla, Of Moorhead, Mimi,
has been missing. When last seen he was
playing shiny on the ice on the Red river.
1t is believed he fell in one Of the numerous
open pieces in the ice and was drowned. One
small boy who played with Norman sal d he
saw him in the morning and hat his clothes
were wet and full o~ficicles. 1t is thought that
the boy telling this story knows more about
the lost boy but fears to tell, thinking he will
be blamed. There is little hope that Norman
Storla will ever be seen again alive.

tied Oct. 2, 1887, by the news that Mrs. Cvn-
thia Ann Hawkins had been found murdered
on the Wildwood road, near Brentwood ceme-
terry, Some persons on their way to church
found 1.-THE body of q woman among some
brushes on the road-sides. Eliphalet Sncde-
ker, q livery stable keeper at Bayshore, dis
covered a pool of blood on the floor OF his
carriage house, OF the spot where a buggy
used by Asbury Hawkins the night before
had stood, and which had been taken away
again by the young man. He stoutly denied
any knowledge Of his mothers murder, until
the pistol with which he had shot her, was
found in a horse pond at The rear o Snedeker's
stables, where he had thrown it on his return
with the buggy the night of the murder. The
evidence against him was completed by the
finding of blood on the seat and floor of the
buggy, and upon the robes and cushions. The
coroner's inquest resulted in o verdict OF mur.
der against young Hawkins. An hour after
the inquest, Hawkins made a confession. He
said: "Idrovetoward my aunt's, Mrs. Smith.
After talking a little while, we both became
excited, and my mother applied vile epithetH
to Miss Schreck, which enraged me, and I
drew the pistol and shot her in the head. She
lay back in the buggy and groaned. drove
on toward Bayshore, and, finding she was
not dead, | shot her again. Ishot her q third
time on the Brentwood road, then threw her
out into the bushes, where she was found"
Hawkins was connected with nearly every
family Of prominence in the county.
