present and the bidding was slow.
There were eight lots, some open and
others with buildings erected thereon
all of which were advertised in THE
TRANSCRIPT. Lot No. 1, about 80 by
100 feet was sold to N. J. Williams
for 1886. Lot No. 2, 80 by 100 feet,
was withdrawn at $405. Lot No. 8,
having thereon erected three-story
frame dwelling and store, was with
drawn, the highest bid being $500.
Lot No. 4, with two-story frame
store house, was withdrawn, the
highest bid being $500. Lot No. on
the corner of Broad and Main Streets,
having thereon erected a brick dwell
ing and store house and double
two-story frame house was withdrawn
at $4,000. Lot No. 6 with two
story frame Office, was sold to L. @.
Scott for $870. Lot No. with two
story frame dwelling and bake oven,
was withdrawn when the bidding
ran up to $1,000. Lot No. 8, contain
ing 1862 square feet of land with
two stables thereon erected was sold
to L. G. Scott for $4OO. This is all
valuable property situated in the
business centre of the town and in
ordinary times would bring good
prices. The bids on the property
which was withdrawn were below
the appraised value and those which
were sold did not reach figure salts
factory to the heirs. The dullness of
business and the stringency of money
made even fair prices almost impos-
sible.

"a private dispatch received at
London from japan says the loss u
life BIZ The recent earthquake viii b
shook the IsIand Of Houdo and other
places is estimated to be 10 900.
Over 1000 persons were killed and
about l8 600 houses were destroyed
in the province of Nagoya, on the Is
land of noudo, the capital OF which
is Nagoya, a city Of 40, 600 inhabi-
tants. In addition to the foregoing
5000 houses were destroyed and
5000 persons were killed by the
earthquake at Gifu. The towns Of
Kano and Kasamatsu are also re-
ported to have been dc stroyed, to-
qether with Atty miles of railroads.
The loss of life il not definitely
known, but it is estimated that it
will be great enough to make the to-
tai loss OF life 10000. It is pre-
sumed that the fire which started
among the wrecked buildings at Ma
goya may have had great deal to
do with the great loss of life. Thera
have been many wrecks about the
Island of Houdo as one of the con-
sequences of the terrible disturbance.

CHARLESTON. W. Va, Nov. A.
The shooting last Monday night Of
Royal Phelps and John Boss on the
public highway near Winfield, Put

that the men had been accidentally
shot by some hunter, but later devel
opments have demonstrated an at.

some one. Phelps is junior vice.

Army Republic, of Winfield, while
Boss is officer of day of the same
post. They had, in the early part Of
the night OF the shooting attended a
meeting of that organization and had
returned to White Oak Hill on their
way home when they were fred upon
from ambush. Phelps received
wound in right shoulder and neck
from which he may die. Boss was
terribly wounded in the shoulder,
hip and leg, and his horse was fatal
ly wounded. About 8 O'Clock p. M,
Monday, two masked men were seen
close to where the shooting took
place.

AN ELECTRIC SYSTEM PROPOSED TO
RUN BETWEEN THE VARIOUS RESORTS.
1t is said a number of monied men
of Baltim IRE including Joseph Cone,
Esq, are forming an association to
be known as the Mountain City
Trsction Company The object of
the organization is to transfer visi
tors to Pen-Mar, summer guests at
the hotels and the public generally
between Blue Mountain Pen-Mar,
Buena Vista and Montery and per
haps Clermont, High rock and Qui-
rauk will be included in the circuit.
1t will be a motor power road with
steel rails. The coaches win be of
the modern street car pattern and
will run about six miles an hour. By
this plan in a few hours visitors
could take in nearly the whole resort
region, and far more pleasantly. The
route has already been surveyed
from Pen-mar to Germantown
Globe.

English travellers and officers In
Iodia who have managed, through
favoritism with the priests, to gain
access to some OF the half ruined
temples OF PAM, city about 2b0
miles from Madras, have learned
that the principles OF the telephone
have been known 10 that country
for thousands Of years. In the city
Of PAM there are two temples, about
mile apart In the interior on the
pro nd floor Of each, there is small
circular room guarded day and night
from natives as well as strangers.
These rooms are supposed 10 be the
abiding place of governing spirits"
but in reality are the termini Of
telephone line which is laid under
ground from one building to an
other.
The superstitious natives regard
these little circular rooms with the
greatest awe, because they have had
demonstrated to them on various
occasions the power Of these gov
erning spirits to communicate with
the temple. When this miracle is
being performed the natives are re-
quired to make their offerings in one
building and make known their
wishes and desires. Then, upon i'm
mediately repairing to the other
temple. they are informed ofall they
have said and done. To US that is
all easy enough, but to the super
stitious native of India it is proof
that the priests are supernatural be-
ings,
Those who have visited these tele-
phone connected temples say that
the transmitters are of wood, and
that they are about the size of the
head of a flower barrel. The wire Is
said to be of neither steel, copper
nor brass, but Of substance closely
resembling the latter metal. Old
worm-eaten transmitters, said to be
1000 years old, have been shown
those fortunate enough to gain ad-
mission to these temples.

Plans for the exercises dedicatory
of the Exposition buildings during
the week of October u, 1892, are
fast being matur,d. One of the chief
features practically decided upon is
a nocturnal procession OF floats on
the illuminated lagoons at Jackson
Park. These floats will represent a
chronological epitome of salient his
torical events by centuries, from
1892 until the present time. Alto
gether there viii be between forty
and fifty floats costing perhaps $700
each on an average. The last one
will represent Chicago welcoming
the nations of the earth. All OF the
boats will fairly blaze with electric
lights, and thousands Of incandes-
cent lamps und r the water will give
them the appearance of floating on
lake of fire. 1t is believed hat fully
100000 people will watch this COR
geous spectacle each night from the
banks of the lagoon.
The Experimenting, choral exer-
cises. ETC.. will occur in the Manu-
features Building, which will be fit
ted with seating accommodation for
80, 900 to 100000 peorle. 1t is now
thought that from $4,000 to $4,000
troops will participate in the dedi-
catory exercises. The expenses of
the dedicatory ceremonies will ap-
proximate 100000.
