T-Trace of precipitation.
Lake Ploughed by a Ball of Fire.

Hartford Times.
A most singular scene was witnessed on Long
Lake during Saturdays storm. The lake is
three miles long, and is divided into three bays
About 3:15 vivid fash OF lightning lighted up
the scenery, followed by terrific peal Of thun-
der. The wind by this time blowing with
cyclonic force. Suddenly there came q roar,
and far down the lake huge flame of fire could
be seen. The water for yards ahead was parted
as though by gigantic plough. and the bilows
seemed to rise at the side of this furrow for full
~ twenty feet The ball of fire appeared to
force the water aside and so deep did it go that
the bottom of the lake could almost be seen as
it passed through the narrows. The parted
waters, with their singular propeller, advanced
toward the head Of the lake with great rapidity.
When within 100 yards of the shore there came
another fash of lightning, and the ire disap-
peared as suddenly as it had come.
The residents along the lake who witnessed
this strange phenomenon were greatly alarmed.
They insist that the ball of fire was fully ten
feet long. and half Of the mass appeared TO be
buried in the waters of the lake. 1t was many
hours before the waters Of the lake became
calm.

The Senate bill to regulate commerce carried

SIR. O'Neill remarked that he had merely de-
sired to brand the statement as a lie, and he had
done go.
Mr.. Owen, Of Indiana, who is mentioned in
the article as having objected to onsideration Of
the bill because of his knowledge of the bar
gain. inquired whether the gentleman, in char
acterizing the statement lie, meant any per-
sonal reflection upon him.
Mr.. O'Neill repeated that the statement that
there was any bargain in the Introduction or
preparing of the bill. no matter by whom made,
was he-an absolute. plain, unvarnished and
unqualified lie. Laughter
Mr.. Owen suggested that the gentleman had

Objections to Bynum and Gray Being Given
Too Much Prominence Therin.

The duplcity shown on several occasions by

the suspicious of good many laboring men
were aroused by the announcement that Con-
gressman Bynum, and Governor Gray would be
the principal speakers. At meet
ing of the Central Labor Union,
Monday night, there were objections
raised TO having so many speakers with Demo
cratic proclivities, and the committee attempted
to assure the objectors that speeches from these
persons being on the programme did not signify
that there would be any politics in the demon
stration. ''They won't talk on politics. said
one member of the committee: "Bynum is only
going to deliver a speech on tariff reform" The
objectors could not see why such speech would
not have reference to politics, and still much
