An Eleotrifled Locomotive.

An unusual electrical exhibition is
said to have been seen in the neighbor-
hood of Fanwood during heavy thun-
der storm. A freight train on the Cen
trail railroad was running along in the
darkness. when the engineer and fireman
heard above the roar of the storm and
the rumble Of the train strange, in
cessant, cracking sound. Looking out
of the cab windows the men say they
were astonished to see vivid electric dis
charges flash from the telegraph wires
on one side of the track through the To-
connective to the wires on the other SIDE
The display back and forth continued
some time and was repeated at intervals
along the road to Westfeld. At times
the locomotive seemed illuminated with
pale blush fame, giving weird effect,
and what seemed to be balls of fire shot
out toward the wires. Suddenly there
came heavy crash, which dazed the en-
gineer and stunned the fireman. The
manifestations then ceased. - Boston

BY the Heels.

A few days since a gentleman with
two or three ladies rowed up Deal lake
to explore the head waters Of that beau
tiful sheet. Thinking he mightsee some
game he took his gun along.
Not having used the gun lately on the
way up he thought he would fire it off
just to see if it was all right. Standing
up in the boat he discharged the piece,
but the recoil of the gun overcame his
equilibrium and over he went into the
lake.
The ladies, of course, screamed, and
one caught him by the heels, thus duck
ing his head under water. AS soon as
he could get his head to the surface he
told her to release his feet. But no, she
would not see him drown, and 80 she
pulled again, and under went his head a
second time. It was repeated, and the
young man began to fear she was bent
on keeping his head under water, and
with violent kick he released her hold
and soon was able to take care Of him

An incident happened in The Tribune
building which may be an effectual
warning against drinking water from
open faucets or from any vessel IN the
dark. Mrs. Finn, one Of the women who
clean the offices, was drawing water from
faucet at a sink on the seventh floor
when she was startled by the sudden ap-
pearance Of an extremely lively snake
about two feet long. Mrs. Finn wasn't
looking for snakes or thinking about
them just then. and when this one
emerged from the faucetsh dropped her
mop and pail and fed screaming through
the corridors and down the stairs.
The janitor finally caught her and OBJ
tanned a somewhat incoherent explana-
ton. Selling stout stick, the janitor
hurried up to the seventh floor. where
he found the snake crawling in lively
fashion over the tiled floor. The janitor
was not frightened, and he soon crushed
the reptiles head. It was common
water snake, not poisonous, but a de-
cidedly unpleasant thing to come across
in water used for drinking purposes

Chief Of Police Speers received a letter
from the chief of police at Kokomo, Ind,
stating that daring burglary had re-
Gently been committed in that town.
The robbers who did the work, the letter
stated, had dog with them, and there
was also dog on the premises Of the man
whose house was burglarized. The two
dogs got to fighting, and the robbers
dog was killed and it's owners left its
carcase in the yard where it fell.
Around the dead animals neck was q
collar; and fastened to it was Kansas
City dog tag that showed that it had
been issued in 1889. Chief Speers
turned the letter and the number of the
dog tag over to the city clerk, who by
looking over the records for 1889 found
the name Of the man to whom the tag
had been issued His residence was
given as East Seventeenth street.
When the city clerk looked in the
directory to see if the man still resided
on East Seventeenth street he found
opposite the name in brackets the words,
Removed to Kokomo, Ind" The au-
thorities at Kokomo have been notified.
