a Necessary Adjunct,

1t is related as an actual occurrence in
the outskirts of Vienna that a wood
ranger in gong through one of the
parks of his noble master noticed to-
bacco smoke coming from hollow sort
of den under the stump of big tree.
Naturally he came to the conclusion that
1t was the residence of some human be-
ing, and just as naturally he determined
on investigating. He accordingly yelled
down the cavity, and in response he was
rather surprised to see an elderly person
in the garb of country mechanic come
to the light of day.
"Who are your" he asked in astonish-
ment

the city. My name is Ewald"
"And what are you doing here?"
"Since rents have got SO high there
thought it cheaper to come out here and
live"
The ranger whistled and then in.
quired:

This command was followed by the
vision of an ole woman, the counterpart
In all possible essentials of her husband.
''My better half" said the bricklayer
by way of introduction.
''And is there perhaps anybody else in

OSBORN, Ga. July 31.-While 200 people
were assembled at Lower High Tower
church, near here on last Sunday, a stroke
of lightning fell near the church and
glancing from the ground where i. struck

enter the church and in an instant they
threw everything into confusion. Benches

people variously affected by the stroke.
Some were knocked senseless while 9th
ers had their clothes and shoes torn from
their bodies. Many were burned and
streaks and marks were left on their bod

from where the lightning first struck was

While seemingly unconscious he was
very wide awake and was observ-

alongside the vessel for some time, until
Petty was convinced the murdered Will

Well Conceived and Executed Plan to
Catch a Muir derer.
NEW YORK, July 30.--An account was
published few days ago of the rescue
from drowning of an unknown man by
the crew of Pierre Lorillard's yacht Reva,
which lay at anchor in the bay back of
Belden's Point, City island. The man
was taken from the water and landed on
City island, after which he disappeared.
The drowning man was playing a clever
part as detective to arrest a murderer,
who he believed. was secreted on the
yacht without the knowledge or consent
of Mr.. Lorillard. The supposed drowning
man was Roundsman William Petty, of
the Twenty-first precinct. For some days
he had suspected that Andrew Williams,
alleged murderer in the Hobbs case, was
on the yacht.
Petty Concludes to Go Fishing.
Ward Detective Mccarthy, of the Twen-
ty-first precinct, had visited the yacht on
July 10, the Sunday previous to Rounds
man Petty's adventure. The steward told
him that Williams had asked for work a
few days before. He admitted that Will
Jams was his friend. Not satisfied with
McCarthy's report Captain Ryan ordered
Roundsman Petty on the case Petty
knew there was no use trying to board
the yacht as an officer, so he resorted to
strategy. He put on an old gray suit and

himself with fishing tackle and went 10
