DRIVEN BY A MADMAN.
The Engineer Awed by an Insane Pas
senger.

MT. HOLLY, Mich. June 13.-Samuel
johnson, whose home is either in
Boston or Toronto, came here from
Milwaukee and took train at Grand
Haven for Detroit. When the train
reached Durand johnson pulled out a
revolver. After terrifying the passen-
gers he went to the baggage car, taking
possession at the point of his pistol and
iriving out the messenger and his as
sistant. When the train arrived here
the man, who-was evidently crazy, or
dered the conductor to start the train
again. The conductor refused, and
johnson fired several shots at him, but
all went wide of the mark.
He then jumped on the engine and
compelled the engineer to go ahead.
The train had gone but short distance
when the maniac leaped off and fired u
volley at the engineer, who escaped with
out being hit. The sheriff finally cap
tured him and took him to Jail after
several shots had been exchanged be-
tween them. ....

Only Man Ever Killed by a Meteor.

only Man Ever Killed by Meteor.
To the writer's certain knowledge
there is but one case on record where
human being has been killed by an aero-
lite or fall of meteoric stone The fa-
tality mentioned occurred In Whetstot.e
township, Crawford county, O., in 1876,
and is recorded in the Bucyrus Journal
as follows:
As David Misenthaler, the famous
stockman, of MILESTONE township, was
driving his cows 10 the barn about day
light this morning he was struck by an
aerolite and Instantly killed. 1t appears
as if the stone had come down from a
direction little west of south, striking
the man jnst under or on the right
shoulder, passing obliquely through
him from the right shoulder to just
above the left hip, burying the greater
portion of his body under itself in the
soft earth. Tho stono is about the size
of wooden water bucket, and appears
to be composed of pyrites of iron.-Phil-
adelphia Press.

Empress Elizabeth of Austria, once considered one of the most beautiful sovereigns in Europe, is to spend part of the present summer in Carlsbad. Ac- cording to present plans, she will arrive at the famous resort about the middle of the present month and occupy the Villa Teresa. Every precaution is to be taken by the town authorities to prevent peo- pie from making the Empress's life mis- erable by lettering about the villa to watch her movements. Her Majesty is sensitive and will not remain in a place where she is annoyed in that way.

BISHOP WILLIAMS VISTA TTON.

Bishop Williams held his visitation at Christ church in this village on Monday night. The church was well filled, al- though the weather was very unfavor- able. The bishop preached from the text: "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor un- circumcision, but new creature" Gal. VI. 15. The sermon was short, but, like all of the bishops sermons, was a clear and forcible argument in support of the positions taken by him, which were, briefly, that St Paul was ombatting the pharasaical principles of the Jewish con- verts in the church at Galatia, and that the words of the text could not be re- garded as intended to depreciate Chris tian ordinances, such as baptism. He incidentally stated that the Galatians were of Celtic origin and had migrated from France or Gaul to Asia Minor.
 Just before the rite of confirmation was administered, MT A. W. Nicoll. of Yonkers, N. f. and his sons sang the anthem, "God is a Spirit" The sing ers' voices were remarkably clear and sweet and harmoniously blended, and the anthem was beautifully sung with out accompaniment.
 There were eight candidates confirm ed, of whom six were young men.

 As regards changes among the en- ployees, Lucius Futile, the general man. ager of the Consolidated road, who is a director of the Housatonic as re-organ- ized, is repored to have said that the di- vision superintendants will retain their positions. And it is stated, on what seems good authority, that there will be no changes of importance. among the employees of the road. Very probably, though not in the immediate future, the fares will be reduced to two cents g mile.

COurtship of an Arkansas Girl

A friend of the NEWS has shown us copy of newspaper, bearing date May 15, 1851, called "Wilson & Co.'S Weekly Dispatch" from which we extract and condense the following narrative. The story teller says that while travelling in Arkansas he met 'as fine specimen of woman as you ever saw. I came, l saw, I loved her, and once thought I had conquered her. My visits to her were frequent and generally up to a pretty late hour of the night" The mother as fine lady as you could wish, rather large in dimensions, slept in an adjoin- ing room from which sounds were dis tinctly audible, the house being a log cabin. One night on taking his leave he expressed surprise, as usual, at the late ness of the hour, the girl replied that she knew it must be late from the sounds. 'Soundsl' said I, listening at tentively, but hearing nothing that in terpreted her meaning. Sounds! I don t hear any, Again listened, but without success.
 Why, Mark, said she, don't you hear ma snore?' and her face colored be- tween anger and pride at what she deemed my testing.
 Is your mother suoring?' exclaimed I, in utter astonishment. T swear l have been all this time thinking it was the pufs from an up river steamboat, and wondered what the deuce made it so long coming round the bend? Your motherp was going to say more, but l did not, stranger, for as true as gospel there was Bet making right at me, with her fist ready for the attack. I ain't no coward, but cannot fight women, so just incontinently sloped. I have never forgotten Betty, and love her yet. but darsn't go nigh her since that unfortu- nate night"
