airy was breaking land for her when
he found the meteor, having been
hired by ]. B. Sofield, president of

put in claim for the meteor on be-
half of his principal, and finally sold
1t to January for $25. giving receipt
for the money over Miss KS name

days ago January disposed of the

A Stump-Speech Marriage.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
San DIEGO, July 10.-Last evening
Frederick 3. Parker, claiming to hail
from Troy, N. Y, went into q welt
known restaurant on F street, &C.
companied by Jessie s. Beale, and in
the presence of the proprietors, wait
ers, and customers they declared
themselves to be man and wife. Mr..
Parker explained to the astOnished
proprietor in the following words:
"Here Is case where we love each
other and want to be united in mar
riage. I don't believe in preachers,
and 1 don't think it necessary for q
justice or judge to shoot off lot of
words In order to call us one. We
are one already in heart and soul,
and ALL want are witnesses. Will some
of you witness the fact that we agree
to be man and wife,"
The would-be bride and groom
shook hands across the table, and
Mr.. Parker said:
'Ladies and gen tlemen, this woman
L take for my legally and lawfully
welded wife. shall be true to her
so long as she is true to me. 1 shall
make for her living that will sus-
tain her in comfort. I acknowledge
myself as her husband, and ask
you to witness the ceremony"
The lady likewise acknowledged
him as her husband, and the knot
was tied to the satisfaction of the
contracting parties, notwithstanding
the rather dubious expressions of
some of the witnesses to the unique
ceremony.

Further Evidence that He Comics

sed a Murder for Which Another
is in Prison.
SYRACUSE, August Louis Hoff.
mann, Of this city, an editor of the
Central Democrat, returned today
from Rochester, whittier he had gone
to obtain further evidence of the
guilt of Joseph Leikruf, whose
death in this city, two years ago
with confession of murder on his
lips kas aroused q tardy interest in
the cruel fate OF the convict in the
prison at Amberg. Bavaria, unjustly
condemned for anOther's crime.
Mr.. Hoffman succeeded in find
ing Hsinreich Schmidt, man
who became the boon compan-
ion of Leikauf soon after his
arrival in this country. The evil
dence of the deathbed confession to
the wife, now dead, is reinforced
by the statement of Schmidt, who
makes affidavit that Leikauf revealed
to him the whole story of the murder
from beginning to end. The recital,
Schmidt says, was for the most part
1t was poured into his
ears by the haunted man
under a solemn pledge of secrecy. Be-
fore it had been divulged Schmidt's
had been aroused by the
OF his friend, who could
neither sleep nights or be himself by
day. His life was blighted by the
guilty conscience he carried. After |
being frequently taxed with hiding
. crime he finally told the circum-
stances without reservation.
This is the testimony which Mr.. |
Hoffman obtained in Rochester, and |
On which the Case will be pressed be-
lore the German authorities. The |
murder was brutality conceived and |
executed, with the sole object of get
Ting an unfair share of the parental
estate, consisting Of few paltry |
acres OF land. The victim was step
brother, who had won the favor of the
father. AS Schmidt relates the story,
> sister Of Leikauf was knowing of the !
crime before 1t was committed, and
Of the innocence of the man finally |
sent to prison and innocently pun
Ished for it. It was this sister who
wrote to Leikauf, addressing him by |
the name of Weist instead of Leikauf, |
an occurrence that led to the impress
sion that 1t was an alias.
Thus far 1t has been inn.
possible to discover the name |
Of the prisoner in Amberg prison,
who has suffered for nine years for a
crime he did not commit. This man
was arrested on suspicion, Leikauf
told Schmidt, because he happened
to be in the vicinity of the murder
and could not account for his pres
ence. OF this fact Leikauf's sister in
formed him after he had fled to this
His life after his flight

OH him not soon to be forgotten. He was

the coroner hunted for the house bearing
the Grape, and finally found it apparently
suspended from the bell on the side of the
door. The doctor, in his usual dignified
manner, walked quickly up the steps, took
hold Of the top of the Grape thought to be

Carried the Honey Back.

The busy bee has passed into proverb,
never realized the aptness of it until last
week. He has several choice hives of bees,
and on Thursday morning he took about
twenty-five pounds of honey from one hive
and placed it temporarily near the cellar
door, intending to put it in the cellar in a
few minutes. Mr.. Smith is a very busy
man himself, and something came up just
of honey. 1t was nearly noon when it re-
turned to his mind, and as it looked like
rain he hurried home to take care of it. He
was greatly surprised to find that every
drop Of that honey had been removed by
the bees to the same hive from which he
took 1t, and he had to do the work of ex,
tracing it from the hive second time.

The danger and inconvenience resulting
from the vibrations in buildings caused by

removed by increasing the speed Of the en-

vibration between the engine and the floor
beam. The Pittsburg Dispatch tells of a
ten horse power engine which, on the up

created such commotion as to rattle the
silverware on the shelves a hundred feet
distant. A change of twenty-five revolu-
