Fall of a Grand Stand.

The Fourth of July festivities at
Guthrie, I. T., were brought to sad
ending at 3 P. NJ. ty the falling OF the
grand stand with its living load of human
beings. Nearly l,000 people had Sc

without warning, the structure fell,
burying the people beneath it. The
cries and eroans of the injured filled
the air. AS soon as the accident oc-
cured the militia, under command
of Capt. Stiles, were ordered to the
scene, and rendered valuable service.

none were dead, though several were
fatally and many badly injured. The
only death thus far is that of the 49,
months-old child of DIR. ]. A. Ryan, of

Beast and Eird.

At Hartford, big, fierce rat, which
had been caught in wire trap, was
thrown into u barrel, and then cat
was dropped in. Instead of killing
the rat the cat lay down and went to
sleep, and the rat curled up by her
side and slept too.
At Winsted thunderbolt struck a
hollow tree in George w. Eaton's pas
ture, and killed forty-seven black
snakes, whose home was in the cavity.
The biggest snake was six feet and
eleven inches long, and the smallest
two feet and four inches. Another
bolt fell in the yard of Hosea Green,
in the same town. and killed eight
chickens, which were huddled togeth-
.er. The necks and legs of the chick
ems were broken.
A pigeon was seen flying through
Water street in this city, a long cord
dangling from its leg. Then the cord
was caught about a telegraph wire

the bird hung head downward over

Testing tho Arab Prophets.

The Arabs have very certain meth
cd of ascertaining whether one of
their prophets is true one or a false.
They organize an army, place him at
the head of it and make an assault on
Egypt. If he is a true prophet he con-
quers, but if he is false one he fails.
Thus far the number of those who
have failed tallies to q man with
those who have embarked in tho
prophet business, all of which would
be very discouraging to anybody but
a bowling dervish who is not accus-
toned to making bowling success of
much of anything. = Washington

In BOlienia.

In Munich, the paradise of the Bo-
hemians, there is even more freedom
of action and of conversation than
there is in Berlin. But then real So
ciety does not exist in Munich. Every
body is more or less a Bohemian.
Princes of the blood visit beer houses
in the same happy-go-lucky fashion as
the tradesmen. One of the best known
of the best BOhemians, and really one
of the most remarkable women in
Munich, is the Baroness Won Pausing-
er, wife of the ex-minister of finance
for Bavaria. She keeps open house
for painters, poets, singers, actors,
journalists, and almost everybody
who can behave decently and dress
respectfully. In Baroness Pausinger's
house you may hear the social tidbits
that are going in Munich. A man or
woman with good story is great

A blood vessel of the brain has lost
some of its elastic strength; food is
abundant; digestion is good; blood is
made in abundance. but little is work
ed off by exercise; the tension on every
artery and vein is at maximum rate;
the even circuitous flow is temporarily
impeded at some point, throwing a
dangerous pressure on another; the
vessel which has lost its elastic
strength gives way, blood is poured
out, clot is formed which, by its
pressure on the brain, produces COM
plete Inconsistencies. This is the
apoplectic stroke. 1t will be perceiv-
ed that there are two leading condi-
tons upon which the production of the
stroke depends-a lessened strength in
the vessel and an increased tension on
it.-Hall's Journal Of Health.

r. w. Merriam Dead.

Mr.. r. w. Merriam, whose serious
backset we mentioned last week, died
10 Spring City, Tennessee, on Thurs
day morning Oct. 81, 1889, at about
1 o'clock. Ten days previous to that
date he left Tiobesta, intending to find
suitable location in the State of
Georgia in which to pass the winter
months, feeling that in his weakened
condition he would not be able to
withstand the climate of this country.
Four years ago last July Mr.. Mer-
riam contracted a cold, while in the
pursuit Of his business at Dyersburg,
Tenn, which resulted in q severe at.
tack Of pneumonia. Partially recov-
ering he continued bis work of super
intending the manufacture Of slaves
for nearly two years, when he was 50
completely broken down in health
that he VAS obliged to relinquish a
very lucrative position, and he came
north hoping in few months to again
be restored to health. His hopes we're
never realized on the contrary, he
gradually grew weaker. Added to his
already distressing condition came the
sickness of his devoted wife, which
sickness eliminated, after several
months of suffering, in her death in
July last, thus leaving Mr.. Merriam
with the sole care offve little children.
Realizing his situation, and believing
that he had not long to live he set
about to get homes for the little ones,
and bad the comforting assurance OF
knowing before he died. that they we're
provided with the plessantest of place,
in the homes of kind and loving
adopted parents.
When he reached Spring City be
was among entire strangers, but for
tunately met Mr. G.. w. Psrdee, for
merly of Cory, Pa, and member ot
the society to which he belonged, the
United Workmep, who gave him every
assistance in his power, and wher
death occurred, accompanied his re-
mains to this place, where they were
taken in charge by his fellow mem
bers and given a very respectable
burial. The funeral took place or
Saturday forenoon last from the Pres
byterian Church, of which he was &
consistent member, and where hi
pastor, Rev. j. V. McAninch delivered
short but very impressive discourse
after which the remains were laid t
rest by the side Of his wife in River
side Cemetery. In his last hours, ane
when he was sinking fast, bis weakened
mind reverted back to his home here
and he penned few faint lines to hi
faithful physician, DR.. Morrow, il
which he asked Gods blessing on hi
dear children, expressed desire to b.
buried by the side of his wife, anC
closed by thanking God that he wa
not afraid to die. His children wer
all present at the funeral, accompa
MED by their adopted parents, ant
looked last time upon the face of 1
kind and indulgent father.
Mr.. Merriam was aged 81 years
He held beneficiary certificate in tn
A. o. U. w. for $4,000, which vii
be divided equally among his fv
children.
