RirdS.

Birds.
A Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, dispatch of
the 9th says: John Cowadje, Chip
pewa Indian living on the shore of Echo
Lake, started out yesterday to guide a
His only child, girl baby, was on the
outside of the hut, near the door,
his wife being on the opposite
side of the dwelling. When the
Indian father and the party had
proceeded half mile or so, they saw
an enormous bald eagle circling over
the edge of Echo Lake, near the hut.
There was no thought Of danger to the
child, but their sportsman instinct
prompted them to turn back to get q
shot at the bird. AS they turned to
retrace their steps the eagle made a
sudden swoop to the earth. The Indian
quickened his pace and reached his
cabin in advance of the white men.
When they arrived at the lake they
saw dead eagle OF unusual size and
formidable appearance lying upon
the ground, and near it the Indian
babe, torn and bleeding. and also dying.
The scream and rush of the great bird
upon the child brought the Indian
mother upon the scene. Her babe was
already several feet in the air, held by
the ugly talons of the eagle. The child
was evidently too heavy for the bird
and was dropped to the earth. The
fall caused its death. The eagle made
mother plunge for it's victim, but was
fought off by the mother. who succeeded
in driving it away. AS the bird arose in
the air it was shot by the father, who
had arrived too late to save the child"

Ballard engaged in attempts to get
Miss Ison to elope with him, and Sun
dav visited her frequently and begged
her to become his wife She
thought much of him, but begged him
postpone the event until after her edu
cation was completed. Ballard took his
leave, bidding her last adieu, saying he
would go to Chicago and never return to
bother her. This morning, however,
he appeared at her house and asked to
see Miss Ison Just for minute. The
interview was granted, and while in
the parlor Ballard suddenly produced
a revolver and shot her twice, once in
the temple and once through the
heart, killing her instantly. With
the smoking revolver still in
his hand, he rushed wildly to the gar
den in the rear of the house and there
shot himself five times, once in the head
and four times in the region of the
heart. He died in few minutes.

HUGE WATERSPOUT.
A Rare Sight Witnessed Near Asbury
Park, n. j.

Park, N. j.
The visitors who journeyed to the
beach at Asbury Park, N. j., on the 9Th,
to watch the unusually heavy sea, were
treated to sight rarely witnessed near
shore. About 8 o'clock the wind was
blowing furiously from the northeast.
Suddenly the sea at spot near the
shore was unusually agitated, and as
the eyes of all we're directed
to the spot huge water
spout formed and began moving sea-
ward in a southeasterly direction. The
volume of water was balloon-shaped,
and was fully 300 feet high. There were
no vessels in it's track, but Tyler EN-
mons, fisherman, narrowly escaped
the mountain of water. He saw it APP
preaching, and pulled his boat out of
the way of the swlrling column, which
passed within 100 yards of him. The
water-spout left in its wake a broad
track of foaming water, and the incom-
ing breakers rolled mountain high for
half an hour after the spout disap-
reared

Shortage in ItaIy'S Trade.

The commerce of Italy for the seven
months ending July 81 shows marked
falling off as compared with the same
period of last year. The imports de-
creased $50, 100000 in value, and the
same period the revenue from
customs fell off $4,30O,000. 1t is
rumored that the government proposes
to ask at the approaching session of
Parliament for the abolition of the edict
of Cardinal Pacca, which forbids the
export of the works of the old masters.
If this edict should be abolished it will
at once enable Prince Borghese to be
relieved of his financial difficulties and
at the same time give a chance to the
United States to become the possessor
of famous collection of the old mas

COLORED BRETHREN AT WAR.
ParsOn Nichols Finds His Church Door
Barred Against Him.

ParsOn Nichols Finds His Church Door
Barred Against Him.
RACINE, Wis, Sept. THE pastor
and the congregation of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church in this
city have had falling out. The quar-
rel hasn't reached the razor stage as
vet but as the blood on both sldhs is
greatly heated it is not known how
soon the affair may become serious.
About six months ago the Rev. MI.
Brown, pastor of the church, died, and
the Rev. Mr.. Nichols was named to
succeed him. A GOODNESS sprung
up between congregation and
parson, which resulted In
communication being forwarded to the
conference at Chicago stating that the
colored people at Racine did not de-
sire the return of Mr.. Nichols. The
reason given was that the church socle-
ry was unable to pay minister. New
ertheless Mr.. Nichols was returned to
the Racine charge. Yesterday morning
open rupture came. When the preach
er went to the church to conduct the
service he found the doors bolted and
barred, and he was unable to enter the
sanctuary. The service was according
iy postponed to evening, when the MIN
lister successfully stormed the church
and occupied the pulpit. Members OF
the congregation say Mr.. Nichols
shall not preach again; he says
he has been sent to Racine
to run the church for two years, and
that he will do it or fight. The opposi-
ton to the Rev. Mr.. Nichols is owing to
the fact that he recently sold ice cream
at picnic where dancing was per-
mitted Mr. Nichols says he sold ice
cream at the picnic because he require
money. He had preached at Racine
six months and had received only
$25C, and as he needed a new suit OF
clothes he hit upon the ice cream stand
as a way out of the difficulty.

weighing over 400 pounds, was hurled
to the port side of the steamer, a dis
lance of several rods. Fortunately no

SCARLET FEVER PLAGUE.
Forty Children at the State School Down
With 1t.

rory HO VIC otSIO 'SAooA Do"'A
With 1t.
The new management of the State
Public School at Sparta is in trouble,
owing to terrible and sudden out
break of scarlet fever in the institution
Forty we'll developed cases are report
ed. The hospital rooms of the school
building are Overlooking, and the pros
pect is that the whole institu-
ton will become nothing but
one big hospital. Strict quarantine
has been established by the local health
authorities over the buildings and
grounds and it is hoped thus to contine
the epidemic to the school. There are
the state institution and they are
both in one family. The health
officers think that the good SAM
tary condition of the city will
save the children outside the school
from contagion. What could have
caused such great outbreak in the
school is being much discussed on the
streets here. 1t is reported that q
child recently received from the north
western part of the state came down
with scarlet fever soon after its ar
rival. 1t was isolated as soon as the
school authorities became aware what
was the matter with it, but ap-
parently too late to save its nu-
merous companions. There are no
fatalities among the children yet, and
the school authorities say they do not
yet anticipate any, but Of course cannot
predict the outcome with any certainty.
The sanitary conditions of the school
have had careful supervision in the past,
and were supposed to be excellent.
Regular school work has been, of
course, suspended, and everybody's
time is taken up in caring for the sick.
