CAN'T PRODUCE THE PAPERS.
Total Disappearance of the Records ol
Inst Falls Election,

Total Disappearance of the Records of
Inst Falls Election.
During the Carr-Peffer contest for Coun-
Gil discovery was made that has made
some people unbutton their eyes to the
greatest extent. An order on the Prothono-
tary's office disclosed the fact that the
records of the election in the two cities held
on November last were not in the Pro-
thonotary's custody. Upon the matter
being investigated it was discovered that
they were in all probability in some junk
shop, or perhaps, by this time, ground over
and made into paper. 1t appears that
Superintendent Mercer acted on an order
from some source and disposed of the records
as waste paper.
This discovery has given rise to consider
able controversy, some people holding that
such records should not be destroyed, not at
least until the time is past when they NAV
be needed in an election contest, and they
further contend that they should not be de-
stroyed IN any event unless on an order from
court, and there is some talk of having
decision In the matter.

While Friday evenings storm spent its
main force in the East End, wind and hail
adding to its terrors, some electricity was
left over for diffusion west of the city. The
residence of Mr.. w. F. Boss, in Coraopolis,
was struck by lightning and somewhat
knocked out of shape. None of the family
were in the kitchen at the time, and all
escaped injury.
An adolescent Newfoundland dog, how
ever, was not so fortunate. His nerves
were so badly shaken that he was still in a
pitiable state yesterday. All kinds of
nervlne were administered, but still the purp
covered and whined piteously all day, and
it was feared that he would never rally from
the fright.

and Battery.
L. K. Porter, ESQ.,, was the attorney in
the speak-easy case against Samuel French
before Magistrate Gripp at the Central
station yesterday. French's bond was ior-
feited for non-appearance and another in
formation made against him. Mr.. Porter
met Detective Coulson on the street, and
after rather lively discussion Porter pulled
Coulson's nose, and the latter retaliated by
knocking Porter down and arresting him
for disorderly conduct. Mr.. Porter secured
bail and was released.
Mr.. Porter entered suit against Detective
Coulson for assault and battery, and the
latter has brought cross-suit OF similar
character. The Safety Department officials
will take no action in the matter, but allow
it to be settled in the regular course of law.

MUSICAL CHIMES AT CARNEGIE HALL.
The Second Free Organ Recital In ALE.
ghcny Another Success.

The sweet and attractive strains of music
that foated through Carnegie Hall yester-

the city organist OF Allegheny, drew many
interested music lovers. 1t was the second
OF the free organ recitals, which have be-
come permanent feature at Carnegie Hall,
and the audience was charmed and de-
lighted with every number on the pro-
gramme.

selections were given without notes. Re-
citals will be given every Saturday after
noon at 3 o'clock, and essentially popular

A WRECK AT TURTLE CREEK.
Two westbound Freight Trains Crash Into
Each Other.

Two westbound freight trains on the Penn
svlvania road came to grief last evening at
Turtle Creek. One was foolish enough to
run into the rear end of the other train, and
smash four empty cars. No one was injured
in the crush OF matter.
All the through passenger trains were de-
layed. The mail train had been unfortunate
on the Harrisburg division. and was out of
sight when it should have been in Altoona.
A train was made up, but it encountered
the other wreck at Turtle Creek and both
trains came sailing into the Union depot
near II o'clock last evening. The limited
also was an hour late.

THE ANGELS PRESENCE.
Strange Story Of the Work Of a Flash
Of Lightning.
Charlotte Special to Atlanta Constitution.

Charlotte Special to Atlanta Constitution.
Yesterday, ut Mount Olive. this
State, lightning struck the residence
OF Mr.. Smith, doing considerable dam
age to the building, and stunning the
inmates for few comments. The
very strangest phenomenon OF the oc-
currence was this:
The bolt passed through picture
of Mr.. John Taylor i'll Il frame on the
mantlepiece. demolishing the frame
entirely, leaving on the picture the
well-tlctined photograph of an angel
with outstretched wings, overshadow-
ing Mr.. Taylor's head, the arms en-
circling his neck and the right hand
holding beautiful bouquet of flowers.
The picture of the angel is almost as
distinct and as clear as the photo
graph itself, and the expression of t!;r
face may be plainly seen.
The whole attitude of the celcstii
visitor, together with the smile upon
the face, seems to suggest to the be-
holder the idea OF protection and
benediction, while the dark line vi the
lightning's journey along the card
beard, turning aside just above the
smiling face of Mr.. Taylor in the pic
ture and passing off the hat, seems to
suggest the idea that bolt had been
turned aside by the protecting wings.
The picture is on exhibition in the
store of Mr.. J. r. Smith, and has been
the cause of quite IL sensation. The
explanation of the phenomenon is
that the picture of the angel was on
the back of another photograph that
was near the picture of Mr.. Taylor,
and the flash transferred it to the
picture of Mr.. Taylor, yet the strange
ness Of the coincidence has struck
everybody, and most people have un-
derstood the feeling of the old negro
who, being shown the picture, said !:
"Pll tell you dat's something to pray
over" The affair has caused consid-
cradle excitement and comment.

THE most startling revelation OF the
census is found in the returns from
Iowa. According to Superintendent
Porter's estimate that State has lost
nearly 2OO, 900 inhabitants in ten years.
Its population was 1,624,615 in 1880,
and now the enumerators can find only
l ,45S $3.50 people. This means q prob
able loss of three members of Congress.
Nebraska has been claiming !, ,45O, 900
inhabitants. The actual number is
1,O42,212. Nebraska's gain in congress-
men will just about equal Iowa's loss.
Kansas is thought to have lost about
100000 people within the past three or
four years, although it will probably
show slight increase over 1880. The
South and Democratic strongholds in
the North show greater gains in popu-
lation than the Republican States
generally.
