Do Locomotives Cause Storms.

A correspondent of the Northwest

theory for the increasing prevalence
of floods and transforms. He says
that there are over 10000 locOmo-
tives in use in North America, and
estimates thatfrom them alone over
%, 900, OO0, 900 cubic yards OF vapor
are sent into the atmosphere every
week, to be returned in the form OF
rain. or over 1000, 900, 900 cubic
yards a day-"quite enough he
says, ''to produce a good rainfall
every 24 hours"
Estimating the number of other
nen-condensing engines in use as
eight times the number of locomo-
tives, the total vapor thus projected
into the air every week in this coun-
try amounts to more than 470,0OO.-
900 900 cubic yards. rs this not"

Deliberations of The Kniqhts.

At the session of the Knights of Labor
general assembly at Indianapolis on the
Goth, the committee on law submitted a
report amending section Is, article 8, of
the constitution so as to provide that the
elective officers shall be the general
master workman, general worthy fore
man, general secretary and treasurer,
and general director of woman's work.
The general executive board shall con
sist of four members besides the general
master workman and the general CO.
operative board shall consist of two
members besides the general worthy
foreman. All except the general execu-
tive board and the general cooperative
board shall be taken from the floor Of
the general assembly, and when elected
shall serve two years. This action fur
ther provides that the general worthy
foreman shall be ex-oficio chairman Of
the general cooperative board and that
he shall submit to the general assembly
four names from which they shall elect
two, who will constitute the board.
A prolonged debate followed the in
PRODUCTION of these amendments. But
they were adopted by more than o two
thirds vote.

The LARGEST Land Slide Ever Knswn.

Bonds Mill (W. Va dispatch: The
largest land slide ever known here 90
CURED a few days since on the side of
the Cumberland mountain, where a
scope of land, containing not less than
twenty-five or thirty acres, slipped from
the side of the mountain, carrying its
forest of pine. chestnut, oak and other
immense trees along with it into a mar
row valley below. The slide shot across
the valley, completely damming it from
the mountain side to a parallel ridge
four hundred yards distant. The small
creek which ran down the valley was
damned up, and formed a small lake
from ten to twenty-five feet deep, and,
perhaps, a half mile in length. The
forest trees still stand Oh the slide. but
at an angle of forty or fifty degrees.
The mountain side is bare, with the
rocks standing exposed in a line four
hundred yards wide and half q mile
long. Altogether it was a most peculiar
freak of nature.

Indianapolis dispatch: Private Sec
rotary Halford formally entered upon
his new duties to-day, and occupies a
desk in the library Immediately to the
right OF the large table where the presi-
dent-elect works. Both were busily en-
gagged throughout the day with the ac-
cnmulated correspondence. Secretary
Halford, like the president-elect, is q
rapid and indefatigable worker. His
appointment gives great general salts

were the callers at the editorial sanctum
Of the Journal to-day, leaving cards of
cordial congratulations. Many tele-
grams from newspaper and other friends
also reached him.
Among General Harrison's callers to-
day were Congressman Joseph G.. Can

gradually systematizing his work the

hours from 2 to 4 o'clock of each day to
see those having business with him or
others who call merely to pay their re-
spects. The observance of this request

An Unhappy Spirit Asks a Favor.

DR.. Edward Kirby, proprietor OF q
drug store in this city, says a Baltimore
telegram, is a firm believer in spiritual
ism. He is a highly respectable gentle
man, fifty years of age, q physician OF
prominence, and a medium. OF late he
has had several laborers digging in the
cellar under his store. At first he WAS
mysterious about the matter and de-
.clined to tell what he was doing. Now,
however, he declares that he hes been in
communication with the spirit of a muir
dered man. The house he occupies has
been q drug store for about twenty
wears. Preyiousto TINS a hosiery stood
ON the site, and back from it a farm
house. OF late years the spirit of a
farmer, the doctor declares, has COM
mu,icated with him and told him that
wears ago he was murdered and that his
bones rested beneath the building. The
spirit asked to have the bones remvoed
and properly interred. DIR. Kirby states
that the scapula, two femoral bones, and
other parts of the body have been found
but the head is missing. The diggers
have thus far e1cavated to a depth OF
ten feet.
England is bemoaning the fact that
the Prince of Wales has lost his skill as
a marksman. At the imperial hunt in
Austria, he missed foul stays, much to
the surprise and disgust of Francis
xaaspA.

Mr.. PswdsrIr will be Chosen AsaIn.

The desire OF the delegates TO the
general assembly of the Knights of La
Dor to continue T. V. Powderly as their
chief has been expressed to him for
mally, says an Indianapolis dispatch.
Seven delegates, who represent the Can
adian assembly, have called on him and
asked him to accept the Office once
more. He gave them to understand
that he would do 80, providing he could
choose his own advisors on the general
executive board. Under any circum-
stances, Powderly will undoubtedly
continue in Office and will choose his
own cabinet. Canada wants to be rep
resented on the general executive board.
The south has a like desire, and a move
ment is on foot looking to the selection
of some representative business man.
It is reported that a proposition looking
to the formation of an entirely new o.
stitution has been made to the general
assembly and is being considered by
the proper committee. As there is q
strong feeling in favor of a radical re-
vision of the present constitution there
Is little doubt that the new constitution
will have many supporters.

'Pay john Williams"

At a prayer meeting''down East"
a mannoted for his failures to meet
business obligations, arose to speak.
The subject was: What shall Idot to
be saved?" He commenced slowly
to quote the words: What shall I
do to be saved?" Hepaused, looked
around, and said again: What shall
| do to be saved?" Again with more
solemn tone he repeated the question
OF questions, when a voice from the
assembly, in clear and distinct tones,
replied: $50 and pay John Williams

The Fever MicrObe Comes to Stay.

From the Washington Capitol.
can illustration of the strangef fact
is found in the experience with the
jamestown, now the training ship at
Baltimore. On one of her trips vel
low fever appeared on board, and
several deaths followed. Subsequent
ly the vessel was thoroughly reno
waited and extensivel repaired. Her
woodwork was steamed. Then she
remained in Northern harbors for
several winters. She was finally Or
dered South again, and before she
reached the fever district a east was
developed, and the man died. Above
his hammock was found a quantity
offlth. TheWoodwork was torn out,
and the filth removed. But she is
still q fever ship, and / would not
like to go South in her. Then again,
is the cas- of the Portsmouth. She
once had fever on board. Long
afterward she was ordered to Norfolk
for repairs. Naval Constructor
or Hichborn had charge OF the work.

known as the bureau of correspondence
with agricultural stations, has been as
signed quarters in the east end Of the

found necessary to aid it in legislating
