Fell With Six Hundred.

IRoNwoob, Mich, July PA horrible
accident occurred yesterday at the outing
of the grand lodge, Sons of St. George Of
Michigan at this place. About six hundred
were in the pavilion, structure raised
fifteen feet above the ground. when with
out warming it fell, precipitatng the ma S
of human beings to the ground. For a
moment there was stiffness, and then a cIy
of terror was sent up by the strugglir g
victims. Willing hands went to the relief
at once. The major portion were more
scared than hurt but many were badly Ills
jured.

for four horrible years. The very
thought of it made the perspira ton
start on his forehead in the coolest
DAYS.
Why did he not invent some pre-
text for going abroad? He was often
onthe point of doing so, but the fear
OF arousing suspicion by any singu-
larity otoOnduct preventing him from
putting this idea in execution. So he
lived on with this threatening spectre
ever before his eyes, unable to dispel
it or to hide himself from it,
The Others''-he would not even
to himself use a more definite cypress
sion-"are in jail for their wrong
doing-'lo they sutfer more? They are
deprived of freedom indeed; the blow
has fallen heavily upon them with the
sentence of the court; but afterwards
there is peace around and within
them"
To accuse himself? That would be
foolish. Chance had favored him
hitherto; why should it not continue
to do so?
So more hoping more trembling.
Hartman had become by his mis-,
demeanor, strange to say-a dilet-
tante in matters of law. He had fur
nished himself with a book on the
criminal code and the criminal pro-
cedure, together with various com
mentaries. These books formed his
tavorite reading after shutting his
door at night. With a hasty eager
ness he devoured their contents.
AS a chess player would treat an
interesting problem, so he treated
his case. Mitigating circumstances
the chances in a trial, everything pos
sible and Impossible that a layman
could extract from this juristic ma
terial, were brought into action,
More than once he caught himselfde
claiming n brilliant defense in a loud
tone, and Then lie would listen anx-
iously; somebody might nave hheeeru
him,
Hartman had also his favorite
chapter, which treated of the statute
of limitation, There he read: "Tht
! prosecution Tor crimes that are pun
tshahle with no more than three
months imprisonment must hegin
within five years, ETC."
Although he knew the passage by
heart, yet he read it again every day
as if its contents might have changed
in one night.
Four years and halfhave passed
six months more, he will be free, le
galiy free. The Veica of conscience
would soon learn to be silent when
the pressure of anxiety should be re
moved. Six months-why should
they not pass as q moment; why
might not a miracle happen, and time
for once, just onee, make . feap9
The almanac became, from that
/ time on, his best friend. He could
att bent over it for hours, counting
first the months, then the weeks
then the days again and again. In
the middle of thu night the thought
would atEike him that he had made
u mistake in counting; the lamp was
quickly lighted, and his work began
anew.
Time neverpassesstewert than wher
one counts the minutes. 1t seemed
to Hartman sometimes as If it stood
still, or as If the minutes grew mali
cfously to hours, the hours to days
If he only could spend n few hours
in sleepl The Thought lei him to try
opium, and now many u day and al
most every night was passed in arti
fetal slumber. A moment OF relic
came, when he awoke and realizes
that so and 80 many hours haC
passed.

Il issued q warrant this afternoon
for the arrest of q man on very
peculiar Charge" said an up-to wn
police magistrate last evening, "and
as there is no likelihood of his being
captured, | violate no ethics in tell
ing you about it. This man, who
has heretofore been looked upon as
a Woodworking, honest mechanic, is
the father of two daughters, both of
whom received young gentlemen
callers at their home. During the
winter these young men, when they
started to go home one evening,
found their Overcoats missing from
the rack in the hallway. The theft
was reported to the police, who
blamed it on sneak thieves. One OF
these young men had no less than 3
overcoats stolen during the winter,
and the other lost two, besides his
hat. Five other young men, who
had made informal calls, missed their
coats. The father OF the girls was
the most active in denouneing the
thief when the the thets weto discoV-
cred. Two weeks ago all of the coats
were found at a downtown pawn
brokers' office, and the description of
the man who pawned them tallies ex-
ectly with that of the father of the
girls. Whether he got wind of the
discovery | do not know, but for
SOME reason he moved away very
suddenly while the young men were
celebrating whether they should Sc
cure his arrest or not! The young
ladies are estimable' in every way,
and for their sake l do not believe
any special effort will be put forth to
apprehend their father. 1t is one OF
the strangest cases that ever came
before me.-Philadelphia Record.

an attempt is being made by the friends of
the director of the geological survey to fix
up the matter. The restoration of the pub

many OF the directors friends would be
sent into the mountains to make surveys

used by these mountain pleasure parties.
While the Westerners were willing that the
surveys should continue, they could not
afford to have the lands withdrawn, so the
whole matter falls.
