For the Ocean Championship.

| The sailing OF the heet OF steamers from
! New York tomorrow will be an event OF
unusual interest owing to the fact that two
rival Liverpool ships built especially for
speed, will sail within half an hour OF each
other. The Cunarder Umbria leaves her
pier at 2:90 o'clock. and the new Inman line
steamer City of New York will sail at 8.
That the captains of two such ships as these
should allow them to jog along wholly re-
gardless of each other is contrary to hu-
man nature as developed by seafaring life.
The track lies straight away and is about
| $500 miles long. A good many wagers
have been rnade Oh the result, with the
odds slightly in favor OF the Umbria because
she is now at her best, while the City of
New York is stiff and new. The Umbria
has already made a record of trifle over
days and 4 hours from Queenstown to Sandy
Hook, while the City of New York took sew
en- days to cross. The Umbria has covered
496 miles in day while the. New York's
best day was 448. The friends of the new
ship say, however, that the Alaska ran
whole season before breaking the record bs-
low seven days, and that the Umbria her.
self ran long time before reaching her pre-
sent record. It is argued from this the New

pect, but it was great pity, don't ye know,
that the company didn't pay off the men on
this side, 30 they could have few shllings
to bet on the Umbria's reaching Queens
town first.
"Are you going to race?" was asked of an
officer.
"Do you think, now, we will let her pass

At the Inman pier an officer who was
asked about the prospects Of good race
said:
"How can we make good race? The
company that built her has three inspectors
aboard to see that she is not crowded, for
she was built on guarantee, and we dare
not now take any chances of breaking the
machinery by putting extra work on it.

The Apparition Prescribed.

A young daughter of Henry Searfoss, q
| we'll known farmer of Marion township near
Finlay o., for month past had been very
sick, her ailment being one not described in
medical books and exceedingly mysterious.
The cause of her illness was unknown,
though troublesome symptoms developed
rapidly. At frequent intervals her flesh be-
came cold and green spots appeared cover
ing nearly her entire person.
On Monday OF last week the patient lost
consciousness and for thirty.si1 hours lay
| in trance, the warmth of her body only
assuring the fact that life still remained.
Tuesday night she aroused to consciousness
and told O strange story. In her trance
man had made his appearance and with q
buggy wheel had shown her how her iDjur-
les had come about, recalling to her that the
circumstances were literally correct. He next
brought sheet, bucket of water and three
bottles containing wine, whiskya and alcohol,
and explained how these might be used to
effect her cure. If they were not used he
warned her that at seven o'clock on the
morning of the next day she would begin
failing, and at four o'clock in the afternoon
deaths approach would be realized, and
that at nine o'clock the next Aorning the
young lady would be dead. The family
physician, when sent for, made light of what
| he thought was delusion and an empty
dream, and the remedy indicated by the ap'
partition was not at once applied. The pre-
dic.ions of the vision, however, began to
come true, and the girl was getting rapidly
worse, when the frightened parents hasten
ed to apply the remedy prescribed, only to
find an Immediate change for the better, fol-
lowed by steady Improvement Yesterday
Miss Searfoss was able to be up and around
and she is now nearly as well as ever. The
affair has caused much speculation in the
neighborhood regarding the value of the
spirit prescription as means of restoring
the young lady to health and natural vigor.

M. j. FINLEY PROPOSED
by the Trades Assembly Committee for the
Legislature.

by the Trades Assembly Committee for the
Legislature.
At a meeting OF the Legislative Com.
mittee OF the Ohio Valley Trades and
Labor Assembly, held Saturday evening,
the official announcement was made that
q vacancy existed on the Democratic
Legislative ticket, owing to the death of
Charles Gleason.
A member stated that John Corcoran,
Ex-President OF the Trades Assembly,
had been favorably mentioned for the
place both by workingmen and the
powers that be in the local Democratic
circles.
This led to an assertion by another
member Of the committee that Mr.. Cor
coran would not accept the position il
rendered him, he having Just had a con.
versation with the proposed nominee,
who positively declined owing to the in.
reference OF other duties.
The name OF n. J. Finley was then
proposed for the vacancy, and the sup-
gestion was unanimously approved. x
committee was then appointed to attend
the next meeting Of the Democratic
County Committee, and do all in their
power to carry out the wishes OF the
Legislative Committee. AIessrs. Theo.
dore Wagner, John Coreoran and Joseph
Ziegenfelder were appointed to perform
this duty.
There was little general political dis.
Cussion among the members informallv
in which the nomination OF Frank Wood
by the Republicans for the House OF
Delegates was approved.
