THE FEAST OF ASSUMPTION.
The Restriction Against Eating Meat on
Friday Removed.

The New York World of Monday says:
Every Catholic refrains from eating
meat on Friday as scrupulously as no at
tends the Church service on Sunday
during which the mass is celebrated. The
occasion is extraordinary when the Church
relaxes its rules so that the faithful may
eat meat on Friday OF stay away from
church on Sunday. That the Catholic
Church does upon occasions suspend its
restrictions and permit the eating of meat
on Friday is so. however. Upon this
coming Friday by special dispensation OF
Pope Leo XIII. meat may be eaten. This
is the occasion of the Feast of the Assump::
ton of the Blessed Virgin Mary, one OF
the most glorious feasts of the Catholic
Church"
Rev. Father Edward NJ. TIerney was seen
by a Dispatch reporter last night aud asked
il the restrictions against eating meat had
been removed from the Catholics OF Rich
mond for next Friday.
He said that although he had heard that
on that day there would be no restriction
regarding such diet among his denomlna-
ton here he had received no official notl-
fcation from Rome on the subject, and that
in this city the permission would not be
acted upon.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. August l2.-Ten acres
Of the farm OF Thomas Habon. three miles
north of Waldron. have been destroyed
lbr farming purposes, and great holes
have been blown in the earth. The course
of Flatrock creek has been turned up
stream. Birds, snakes, and rabbits are
dead, while the fish are thoroughly cooked
in heated water. All this was caused by
an uphesval of the waters.
EARTH BEucHKs FORTH FLAME
A log fire was blazing in the midst Of the
ten acres. when. without warning, the
earth belched forth its flame. great trees
were hurled skyward. and all the waters of
Flatrock creek were converted into foam
and steam. A vast pocket Of natural gas
burst forth, and the scene was BEAUTIFUL.
The gas took fire aud blazed fiercely above
the trees at times. and continued all yes
terday and last night.
THREE THOUSAND WITNESSES.
To-day 5000 spectators viewed the phe-
nomenon. The fire has been extinguished
but the gas is still escaping. Some assert
that other agencies than gas are the cause
of the phenomenon, but the general con-
viction is that no other agency could have
produced the effect on the water. One OF
the marvellous effects on the water Is that
not drop of the Flatrcck's flood has gone
below the caverns since the upheaval. The
great caverns have taken in the current
and wild, toaming Niagara is created.

EXPLOSION OF A VULCANizER.
4 Dentist Floorcd by the shock, But Not
at All Hurt.

AT n "
Tho explosion of a vulcanizer in the
dental Office of DIR. J. w. Eggleston, over
No. 7O7 cast Main street. about $3.50 O'Clock
Yesterday morning produced very loud
report and greatly alarmed the residents of
the neighborhood, who feared that some
one had been killed or seriously injured.
This instrument, or vessel. is small air
tight kettle used for vulcanlzing teeth. IL
Ia made air-tiGht to prevent the escape OF
steam and is subjected while vulcanlzinc
10 an enormous pressure. The accident IS
supposed TO have been caused III this m
stance bv AN excessive pressure, when be-
ing too great for Its strength caused the
explosion.
DR.. Egeleston had an exceedingly narrow
escape, rs he was sitting on bench near
the stove upon which the yulcanizer was
placed, but was not hurt. His son and as
sstant, Dr. Edward Eggleston, was knocked
down bv the shock. which was very great,
iarring the whole house and making re-
port as loud rs that of small shell
Pieces of the shattered vessel were thrown
in every direction over the room. An OIL
stove was completely smashed, and the
main part of theinstrument was thrown up
through the ceiling, going with such ylo-
lence that 1t even penetrated into the room
above. in which. fortunately, no one was
present at the time of the accident.
When the accident occurred q set Of
teeth was in the vulcanizer undergoing
the process of vulcanizlng, and strange to
say they were uninjured.
Dr. Eggleston, in speaking of the occur
renee, said tho boiler was quite old,
having been used by HIM for at least twenty
wears, and examining it after the explo-
sion he found that there was flaw in the
metal He considers it strange that the
explosion had not occurred long ago.
