into the river unEoticed. The stream
is high and the current swift, and by
the time the break was discovered
and stopped, the creek end river for
twenty miles were covered with oil.
After dark some one fred the oil, and
in an incredibly short time the
streams we've on fire for twenty miles.
The flames seemed to touch the very
skies, anG the mountains on each side
glowed like FURNISHED gold in the
magnificent light. Every object for
niles was visible, and distant houses
stood out like mirage,
AT the point where the creek and
river met, the sight was indescribably
grand, and the flames rolled up
against the hills IN enormous clouds of
light that showed the landscape as far
away as Falmouth. The skies SEEM
cd a vast mirror, which reflected the
landscape for miles, and Uppipgton,
twenty miles away, could be seen
across the hills a thousand feet higher
than the town itself.

One of the most peculiar cases ever
known in the history of Illinois is that of
Judge Stipp, of Princetown, who recent
ly became deranged from the effects of
anxiety and worry over the necessity for
passing the death sentence upon a con
Ucted murderer, although he had been
ON the bench for twenty years. But a
relation of the judge was recently hang
ed and subsequently proven innocent,
which so preyed upon the judges mind
that he came averse to applying the
death penalty on circumstancial leviden-
ce, but saw no way to avoid it. Such an
end of long and distinguished career at
the ripe old age of seventy years is truly
deplorable.

The greatest craze among the women
of the city to-day is to keep from getting
fat. A fashionable doctor told a report
er of the New York Sun that the illness
resulting from their methods of keeping
down their weight form the bulk of his
practice. Few Of them diet; on the con
trary, they dine elegantly, giving dinner
parties, and rely on medicines, acids and
tight lacing to offset the effect of their
indulgences. A few who are strong will
take to gymnastics and walking, as men
do, but this doctor says those are too few
to be worth counting.
