Smugg1ers Exposed by Lightning.


The vivid flashes Of lightning during
Wednesday nights storm exposed to a
keen eyed customs officer one of the
largest smuggling frauds known in the
history of this port. The German tank
steamship Energie was lying at Point
Breeze, loading oil in bulk for Bremen,
and was almost filed, when Night In
spector William Lamond saw by the
lightning hurrying men bringing large
boxes of merchandise on deck, and
lowering them to small boats lying
along the steamships side. Lamond
slipped off his shoes and crept along
the wharf. He climbed on the vessel
and hid himself to see further develop
ments. Heavy packages continued to
deck, and sings were lowering it to the
small boats, when Lamond, with load
ed pistol in hand, rushed on deck and
succeeded in catching E. Ulrich, a
boatman, who was In charge of the
small boat.
He was arrested and detained with
the aid of the mounted police and
locked up for the night. His compan-
ions ran away and hid on the Energie,
and it was impossible to find them. u
rich took the officers to scow near by,
on which there were forty cases of
brandy, gin and champagne taken from
the Energie. The customs cutter Tench
Coke was sent to prevent the Energie
from leaving the port, as she had al
ready cleared, and to notify Capt. Fort
man that he must explain how the
liquor was gotten of his vessel 1t is
estimated that from $50, 900 to $40, 900
worth of liquors are smuggled every
year from vessels lying in the Schuylkill
river, there not being sufficient night
men to cover the territory. Philadel-

What is cold in the head? Medical authori-
ties say it is due to uneven clothing of the body,
| rapid cooling when in Precipitation, &c. The i'm
portant point is, that cold in the head is in

which, when unchecked, is certain to produce a
catarrhal condition-for catarrh is essentially a

Sung at the Holy sepuIcher.

Recently the Duke of Norfolk wrote
from the holy land to inform her
majesty of an interesting and unique
incident in connection with the visit
of the English pilgrims to Pales-
tine. On st. Georges day, for the
first time since the age of the Cru
sades, Pontifical high mass was sung
at the silver altar in front of the
Holy Sepulcher by an English prelate,
the Hon. and Right Rev. William Cliff
ford, bishop of Clifton, and his lord
ship also preached, after which the
anthem, Domino Salvam fac Regi-
nam Nostram"-in other words, "God
Save the Queen"-was sung by the
pilgrims. This was the first instance
that the queen or other British sover-
eign had been publicly prayed for in
that place probably since the time of
Richard C@ur-de-Lion, and certainly
the first since the Reformation
change.

A Phantom That Frightens Travellers OF
the Old National pix.

Phantom Ahat Frightens Travellers on
the Old National pike.
There was a good deal Of excitement
recently over in Belmont county, o.,
along that portion of the old National
pike extending some four or five miles
eastward from st. Clairsville, over the
appearance of an apparition of old Toll
keeper Feltus, who presided at the first
gate east of ST. Clairsville for nearly a
generation, but who died some five
years ago, since which time the old toll
house has been al, owed to fall into
ruins. Uly Smith, a travelling sales
man, and Henry Johnson, his colored
driver had a thrilling experience with
the ghost about II 80 o'clock one morn
ing, the details of which were related
by both gentlemen. They were return
ing in one of the delivery wagons from
a late trip to st. Clairsville, and when
nearly opposite the spot where the toll
house stood the attention of both men
was attracted to an object on the left
hand side of the road.
''What's that's" asked Mr. Smith.
Its a man." said johnson, whose
eyes were little shcrper.
"Oh, 1 see; it's TIC tollkeeper," said
Smith, who had not been over the
road for half a dozen years, and there
fore did not know that Feltus, whom
he knew quite WE'LL was dead.
Just at this point the off horse ran
right over the figure, which, however,
was not in the least disturbed, and
promptly reappeare1 at the front wheel
of the wagon, standing erect, in Eel
tus' characteristic attitude with one
arm outstretched to receive the toll.
Mr.. Smith said, in explaining what
TRANSFERRED: 81 asked him what he was
doing out at such late hour, as Henry
had pulled up the horses, but he gave
me no answer The figure just stood
there holding out his hand as old man
Feltus used to do, and l was as conf
dent as l was talking to him as am to
you this minute. As the rain was pour
ing down in torrents L asked him why
he didn't have a light and not keep us
waiting. There was no answer still.
L asked him how much the fare
was, that / might have enough change,
and as he still made no answer told
Henry we didn't have time to waste
there in the rain and to drive on This
aroused Henry, who had his whip aloft,
but was paralyzed at the apparition of
the old man, whom he knew to be
dead, and he drove away only too rap
idly, with his hat standing up off his
head.
''When 1 discovered the state of
affairs 1 felt about as scary as Henry
did, and do not care to have another
such experience. 1t is a strange case,
and cannot account for it at ALL"
johnson was as confident as Mr..
Smith that he saw the ghost of the old
man, and he wouldn't put the horses
away by himself, he was so scared

Danger from Coal Oil in Summer.

A frightful succession of coal oil ca
lamities again compels attention to the
fact that in hot weather the products
of petroleum become increasingly dan
gerous AS the temperature rises all
these products, from the heaviest crude
oil to the most volatile naphtha, ex-
pand rapidly and give off gas that,
mixed with the air, becomes explosive.
When cold these fluids do not evapo-
rate, and dealers in kerosene illustrate
the safety of their high test illuminat-
ing oils by throwing a lighted match
into a vessel filed with the article
which they especially recommend. That
can be done as long as a low temper
allure is carefully maintained but the
instant the temperature reaches the
point where evaporation begins then
danger threatens. Gas is generated,
and as it spreads abroad fills the vicin-
ity with an explosive compound which,
coming in contact with fire, commune
Gates in flashing combustion with the
body of the fluid, and an outburst of
flame follows which it is almost impos
sible for any human agency to deal
with
This was undoubtedly the cause of
the calamity to the tank steamer Hans
and Hurts, as it was of the similar ca
tastrophe resulting in the destruction
of the steam schooner Louis Bucki at
sea. The gasoline accident at Almond
and Adams streets was of the same
character, and was attributable, as
were the others mentioned, to the eff
feet of the hot weather on petroleum
products The accidents to oil tanks
by lightning are due to the same agen-
cy, electricity exploding the gas gen
Grated from the oil, and the flash set
ting the tank on fire. 1t is difficult to
imagine how these dangers can be pro-
vided against when the products of pc
troleum are of necessity stored in large
quantities; but it is at least a plain
requisite that the dangers should be
recognized and understood, to the end
that extraordinary care may be exer-
cised during the summer season.

A NATURAL Hot ROoM.-While
some men were at work near the
Crystal Lime Company's kilns, three
miles south of Salida, Colorado, dig
ging a well, they ran into something
unusual. When down about sixty
feet it became quite warm and they
dug little more when an opening
appeared.
Upon investigation it proved to be
cave, with apartments similar to
the rooms in a house. The first cave
is about twenty feet long and ten
feet wide, and the ceiling about ten
feet high.
The men had been in the cave only
a few moments when they became I'M
comfortably warm, the sweat rolling
off them in drops.
The place where the we'll is being
dug is the same gulch down which the
veins to the Wellsville hot springs
run, and the intense heat in the cave
is accounted for on the ground that
it is in close proximity to the veins
of these springs. The walls and
ceiling are said to be smooth as if
some one had made them.

SIN CAN'T BE HIDDEN.
DR.. TALMAaE TELLS OF SOME COM
MON CLOAKS FOR INIQUITY.

OfciaI Position, Good Manners, Kind
Heartedness, Social Advantages, Are of
No Avail without the Love &C Christ
in the Soul Good Sermon.
WINFIELD, Kan, June 29.-Dr. Tai
mage deals in his sermon today in char
acteristic style with the various CARDS In
which sin masquerades in modern socl-
ETY., and in stripping the monster OF its
DISCUSSES he aims not only to reveal its
deforlnity to the world, but to put his
hearers on their guard against self de
fusion. His text is John XIV, %: "But
now they have no cloak for their sin. ;"
Sin is always disguised Decked and
CLOSED and perfumed and masked, it
gains admittance in places from which
it would otherwise be repealed As
silently as when it glided into
Eden, and as plausibly as when
it talked to Christ at the top of
the temple, it now addresses men.
Could people look upon sin as it
always is-an exhalation from the
pit, the putrefaction of infinite capaci-
ties. the CHASTITY, loathsome, God s1nit-
ten monster that uprOOted Eden and
killed Christ and would push the en-
tire race into darkness and pain-the
Internal charm would be broken. Be
fore our first parents transgressed, sin
appeared to them the sweetness of
fruit and the becomirg as gods. To Alb
SALON. it was the pleasure of sitting upon
a throne. To men now sin is laugh
ter and permission to luxurious gratifi-
cation. Jesus Christ in my text sug-
gests fact which everybody ought to
know, and that is that sin, to hide it's
defOrmity and shame, is accustomed to
wearing a cloak; and the Saviour also
sets forth the truth that God can see
straight through all such wrappings and
thicknesses. l want now to speak of
several kinds of cloaks with which
men expect to cover up their iniqui-
ties, for the fashion in regard to these
garments is constantly changing, and
every day beholds some new style of
wearing them, and if you will tarry a
little while | will show you five or six
of the patterns of clOaks.

Again, let me say that the mere pro-
fessiOn of religion is but poor wrap
ping of a naked soul The importance
of making public profession of relig-
ion if the heart be renewed cannot be
exaggerated. Christ positively and
with the earnestness of the night be-
fore his crucifixion commanded it, But
it is the result of the Christian charac-
ter, not the cause of it. Our church
certificate is a poor title to heaven.
We may have the name and not the
reality. There are those who seem to
throw themselves back with cOmpla-
cency upon their public confession of
Christ, although they give no signs OF
renewal IF Satan can induce man
TO build on such a rotten foundation as
that he has accomplished his object.
We cannot imagine the adherence
with which God looks upon such a pro-
cedure. What would be the feelings
of shepherd if he saw a wolf in the
same fold with his fiocks, however quiet
he might seem to lie, or a general if
among his troops he saw one wearing
the appointed uniform who nevertheless
really belonged to the opposing host2
Thus must the heavenly shepherd
look upon those who, though they are
not his sheep, have climbed up some
other way, and thus must the Lord OF
hosts look upon those who pretend to
