A Fly the Death Of Man and Horse

Moses Elvich, a junk dealer, had a
team of horses, and he thought great
deal of them. He had been engaged to
haul load of furniture for a man who
was moving from Brookville to Punxsu-
tawney, Penn. 1t was a hilly road and
the horses needed careful watching.
While going down a steep hill Moses saw
large hy on the neck of one of the
horses. 1t annoyed the man as much as
it did the horse, and the little insect
caused the death Of the animal and also
of Moses. Elvich, in leaning forward to
brush away the fly, fell to the ground and
broke his neck. The horses took fright,
and, running into the fence, the one on
which the fly was sitting broke its ley
and had to be killed. Elvich was picked
up by his father-in-law, who was follow
ing with another load of household goods.

have just left?'
Beaver" was the reply.
"Well," said the stranger, drawing a
pistol from his hip pocket. Il guess I'll
trouble you to she'll out what spare
change you have in your pocket
The brakeman complied, and then
the daredevil proceeded on his mer-
cenary mission, calling upon each pas
senger In similar manner. AS he re-
ieved each passenger he made him
walk ahead, and Kept up this pro-
gramme until he had visited every
coach in the train. Having secured
something from every one he backed his
way out, still holding his revolver be-
fore him, and leaped from the train in
the dark just as the train was pulling
into this station. E. G. Allen, travel
ingman from Marinette, was relieved of
$175 and a gold watch. John Wells, of
Menominee. was taxed gold watch
and SIS. James Hughes. Of Iron River,
gave up his last dollar. r. D. Butler,

opening exercises, but long before the
spacious square was a sea of heads,
and the intersecting streets from
which view of the proceedings
could be had were solidly backed with
people. Gen. Joseph Stockton was mas
ter Of ceremonies, and Gordon of po-
lice officers surrounded the base of the
monument. The proceedings were
opened with music, after which r. T.

mittee of twenty-five, presented the
monument to Mayor Cregier as the off,
cial representative of the city. His

all kinds of debris. The stream was
nearly twice its normal width and
flowed six feet and more deep through
the streets along the river front, SUBJ
merging wharves, small manufacturing
esta blishments, and tapping the second
stories of mills, lighthouses and
fertilizing works in George
town. Further down stream it
completely flooded the Potomac flats,
which the government had raised at a
great expense to height in most parts
of four and five feet, and Inundated

tiers who had built their frame
shanties along the rivers edge. The
rising Of the waters has eclipsed the
high water mark of 1877. The loss will
be enormous. Some place it at 81, OO0,-

communication with the West and

took action on the subject of the use OF
the organ and other musical instru-
ments in church worship. The com.
plant on that subject is said to come
from representatives of about s.
600 out of the 125,000 members
of the church. The minority rep
recent that they cannot in good
conscience permit the use of the
organ in church worship. The judici-
airy committee, to whom the complaint
was referred. brought in report which
was adopted. It is in effect that it is
inexpedient to change the rule adopted
by the general assembly two years ago,
which is that the use or exclusion OF
organs shall not be a bar to member
ship, but that each congregation shall
determine its own course in this regard.
No disruption is apprehended from this
action.
