Midsummer Noon.

subtle silence nature sweetly fills, Lulled by the cricket and the droning bee The dull leaves scarcely rustic on the tree The sky seems blended with the distant hills No bird upon the wayside alder trills,
 And in the wheat, 0 crinkled olive sea-
 The poppy brightly flames, while merrly The woodpecker the drowsy apple drills. These sunny moments softly slip away, Like unto dreams that all our cares release
 While sheep bells tinkle In the disty fold. 0 perfect calm OCT nature holding sway, Making the day 8 shore of shining peace,
 White as lily with heart of gold!

THE RAIN-TREE MYSTERY.
A Southern Minister'S Explanation of Phe.
nomenal Fall Of Water in His Garden.

COLUMBIA. 8. c.. Oct. 13.-Every day
last week what appeared to be wonderful
phenomenon was witnessed by hundreds of
persons in the garden attached to the resi-
dence of Rev. DR.. Edmunds. pastor of the
Presby terian Church at Sumter. Begin
ming about o'clock p. NJ. of each day, rain
apparently fell continuously for about
three-quarters of an hour, in one spot,
about sixty feet in diameter. while else
where not drop of rain could be observed
The weather was clear and fair, and there
were no trees overhead. Water unQues-
tionably fell in the form of rain. Several
doubling Thomases stretched forth their
hands and caught the drops as they
fell and were convinced. Diligent investi-
CATION failed to discover anything that
could suggest rational explanation of the
mystery or show any natural causes Of
which the senses could take any notice.
DR.. Edmunds. however, has at last found
mysterious water supply. He has dis
covered that on a fruit tree not far from
the spot where the water falls is number
of little insects that throw out jets of
water from their tails. They evidently
get the water by sucking tho sap of the
tree. When the water is thus emitted il
forms into drops and falls in the manner of
rain from vapor. The insect is described as
brilliantly yariegated butterfly about
twice the size Of a common honse-fiy. This
solution of the Sumter mystery satisfac-
forily explains the phenomena of the
rain-trees reported in various sections of
this State in the fall of 1885, soon after the
earthquake. and by many superstitious
people connected with that disturbance.

SETTLED BY MARRIAGE.
A Twenty-Five-Year Courtship Ended Which
Was Enlivened by a $4,000 Suit

LOWELL. Mass, Oct. 13.-Twenty-
years ago John H. Buttrick. son of one of
the wealthiest residents, became engaged
to Miss Catherine Terese McEvoy, daugh-
ter of Hugh McEvoy, one of the early Irish
settlers of Lowell. At first differences of
religious belief prevented the marriage, and
then sickness and other troubles caused re-
peated postpOnements Of the ceremony.
During the long engagement Mr.. Buttrick
was constant in his visits to his afianced
until about year ago. when the announce
ment that Miss McEvoy had entered suit to
recover $4,000 for breach of promise gave
all but intimate friends a complete sur
prise. The case has been postponed in the
courts from term to term, and is now set
tied by the marriage of the interested par
ties. The ceremony took place at the resi-
dence of Rev. Mr.. OBrien. and was wit
messed by Edward f. Faulkner and Miss
Harriet Cassels, friends from school-days
of both parties. The groom's present to his
bride was $4,000 in cash, in addition to q
handsome residence.

THE DANUBE's IRON GATE.
Its Contemplated Removal Meeting with
Opposition-Eighty Miles of Rapids.

It's Contemplated Removal Meeting with
Opposition-Eighty Miles of Rapids.
LONDON, Oct. 13.-The movement to blast
away the distractions in the Danube river,
known as the Iron Gate" is one in which
all Europe is interested, but it is doubtful
if the project will be carried through, owing
TO political objections. The Danube is,
next to the Volga, the largest river in Eu-
rope. In an airline the distance from the
sources of the river to the mouth is 1,s2o
miles. The river, when it enters the Aus
trian empire. is navigable. and there are in
the limits of Austro-Hungary $40 miles of
the Danube. After the river leaves
Austro-Hungary it passes through
the Klisura Pass. and here occurs
the greatest obstacles to navigation.
former breadth. the river forms. in the
course of eighty miles, seven rapids and
whirlpools, of which those IN the so-called
Iron Gate, near Old Orsoya, are the most
violent. At the Iron Gate the river pours
through detile 1900 feet long and ESQ feet
wide, fall of sixteen feet and a rapidity
of ten to fifteen feet q second over a num-
Der of reefs and lodges. This rapid was
terror to navigators for centuries. but some
years ago channel was cut through the
ledge. by which vessels pass from Vienna
to Galatz on the lower river without a
portage. In ancient times this portion of
the river course was avoided by q canal of
which some vestiges still remain.
The removal of the distractions of the
cataracts and narrows at the Iron Gate, or
at the point where the Austr0- Hungary,
Servia and Roumania boundaries meet was
attempted In 1sSl. and again in 1884. Both
attempts were abandoned because of the
opposition of the Austrian government. In
1888 the question was again taken up. and
arrangements were made for the final exc
cution of the important and difficult work
of engineering. On June OF that year an
agreement was reached by which the Hun
garian government undertook the regula-
tion of the river. The agreement of Servia
and Roumania was obtained. The cost
of the Improvement was to be re-
imbursed by the levy of tolls for the
period of ninety years. The general plan as
adopted was worked out by Mr.. McAlpine,
an American engineer. Later, complica-
tions came up with Roumania and with the
commission having in charge the improve
ment of the lower Danube. Under the
treaty of Berlin. one of the mouths of the
Danube was put in Russian territory, and
Austria held to the theory that many of

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct 13.-Capt. Warren S.
Lurty, who is the Republican nominee for
Attorney general of Virginia. is here to re-
main over night. He is confident that Gen.
Malone will be elected, and is SO sanguine
that he places the Republican majority up
in the thousands. He says: "If we are not
counted out our majority will be from 10000
to $1,000. The only danger is in the count
ing-out process. The Bourhons are desper-
ate, and they will not permit Republican
to be elected if they have access to the bal
lots. Our chances for success lie in pro-
curing an honest count. i am told by a
member of the Richmond Tobacco Ex-
change that the Democratic correspond
ents have instructions to color their
reports so as to make the best possible show
ing for their ticket. This is done in order
that the way may be paved for fraudulent
returns.
