Married ON His Deathbed.

Wednesday Stroud Van Meter and Miss
Spencer were married at Marengo, Craw-
ford county, Ind, the bridegroom at the
time being on his deathbed. About ten
days ago Van Meter and two brothers
were injured by the premature explosion
of a blast of dynamite while working in
a quarry near Marengo, his injuries con,
sisting of a broken leg and arm, the loss
of an eye and internal injuries that will
almost certainly his death. The
wounded man and Miss Spencer had
been for some months betrothed, and
were only waiting for an improvement in
their financial circumstances to have the
ceremony performed. When the acct
dent occurred the young woman insisted
that the ceremony be performed at once
in order that she might be at liberty to
care for her betrothed.-Louisville Cou-

Millions of Red Herring.

The waters of the inlet at this time of
the year are fairly alive with red her
ring. The general belief is that shipping
will drive these fish from any waters,
but any II standing on the deck Of a
boat lying in the stream can see millions
of them now. Saturday afternoon sew
eral boys We're observed fishing in the
old Indian fashion, and they secured a
lot of fish. The Indian method is as
follows: Take a slender pole about
twenty feet long and drive in on one side
a dozen or two of tenpenny nails; then,
sitting in the bow of the boat, propel it
by padding with the pole. The pole, in
passing through the water, catches the
fish ON the nails. In this way a large
quantity may be caught in a short time.

Brought the Officials to Terms.

A determined German brought the of
ficials of a New Jersey railroad company
to terms. SO crowded was a local train
on the Norris and Essex railroad that
many Of the passengers could not find
seats. AS the train started, an indig-
nant Teuton stopped the train by pulling
the bell cord and demanded that an
empty car on the track be attached.
The other passengers sustained him, but
the demands were not needed. When
the train started again the German once
more pulled the bell cord and announced
that he would pull it every time the
train started unless another car was at
tached. After considerable dispute tue
railroad officials gave in, backed down
the train, attached another car, and
thus furnished seats for all its passen-
gers.-Iankee Blade.

A Custom Eight Hundred Years Old.

Tuesday evening the bells of all the
parish churches of Brussels rang merry
peals to celebrate the anniversary of the
return home from the Holy Land of the
survivors of the Brusselers who took
part in the first crusade. They had left
i'll 1895 with Godfrey, of Bouillon, whom
they left there, and fer SIX years nc
had been received of them. They
were given up for lost, and more than
one of the forsaken wives was thinking
of giving a successor to the absent one,
when on Jan. 10, 1101, at dusk, the ar
rival was announced of a troop of men
of-arms at the T~reurenberg gate. Great
was the JOY in many houses, and the
long waited for husbands were vel
coined with the best of suppers, to
which they did such ample honor that
when bed time came they were unable
to move from their chairs, and their
valiant wives had to carry them to bed.
Until 1871 the council of Brabant held
no meeting on that day.-Belgian News.

The End of a Connecticut Bull Case.

Ii Ii d d SOnHecIlcuL Dull Ease.
After the celebrated Winsted bull case
was ended OF Friday the bull was deco
rated with ribboES and flags and led
through Main street.. Upon the upper
part of the bulls a~ppendage the animal
had a handsome bouquet made of white
ribbons; his horns were garlanded with
yellow ribbons. around his body was a
surcingle, and each of his sides was
Ornamented with an American flag. He
was a gaudy looking bovine, and his ap-
pearance drew plenty of attention from
the crowd of people on the streets.
He is a small animal, not worth at the
outside over twelve dollars-he was sold
a few months since for ten dollars-but
this lawsuit, occupying nearly a week
before a jury, with about sixty witnesses
on both sides, has brought his total cost
up to about $500-that is, reckoning the
costs on both sides, including lawyers
fees. The nan who lost the suit not
only loses the bull, but as one dollar was
given to the plaintiff with the bull, the
loser will have the costs Of the suit to
pay, besides his own lawyers fees. Beef
comes high sometimes-especially bull

The Wonderful Chinook.

A correspondent at Calgary writes as
follows: "On WELLESLEY night, Jan. 30,
this part of Canada witnessed one Of
those peculiar phenomena called a Chi
nook. The day was an ordinary winter
day-clear, bright and frosty. About s
p. M, without a sign of warning, a gale
sprang up in an instant. Those inside
rushed out to see a blizzard, but instead
they were met by a clear sky and a hot,
soft wind In a few minutes the Their
moneter jumped from a few degrees
above zero to 4S above. The wind was
from a point or two north of west. a
change so sudden, though unusual, has
occurred before. But what seems strange
is that during all of this time the Their
mometer was 40 dogs. below zero at
Laggan, a little over 100 miles west of
here, and in the mountains. A differ
ence Of so dogs. of heat in 100 miles
must be something wonderful. Yet the
wind, which was blowing a gale, and at
times almost a hurricane, was blowing
directly from Laggan. The wind and
the heat was maintained during the
greater part of the night, and the cold
was intense at the other point for all
that time. Now, the question l would
like to ask the learned men of the east
is, Where does the chinook wind come
from?'-Toronto Mail.

4 Brave Conductor.

The conductor of a passenger train
near Saline City, Ind, a few days ago
by his presence of mind averted a hor-
rible accident. The train was standing
at the station, when by some mistake a
freight train was backed upon the main
track. The engineer on the passenger
train, to avert a collision, reversed his
train and with the fireman jumped. The
collision was slight, but the passenger
engine soon was running at a frightful
speed. The conductor, noting the de-
sertion of the engineer and fireman, at
the risk of his life clambered over the
tender and closed the wide opened
throttle, stopping the train just in time
to prevent a collision with an incoming
train.-Philadelphia Ledger.

A COurtship by Letter.

was married the first of the week at
Grand Island to Nelson Wetson, of
Cheyenne. The marriage was the out
come OF a strange correspondence. A
friend of Mrs. Stevens is in the employ
OF Nelson in Cheyenne, and suggested
to him n evening that he knew of a
woman who would make him an excel

creature should prove acceptable and
could be won, to marry her. He imme-
diately wrote to Mrs. Stevens, setting
forth that he was the owner of a large
and paying ranch, was well off in the
world and wanted some one to share his
lot and help eat his potatoes. The LADY
was not verse to embarking in the
matrimonial sea for a second time, and
agreed that if everything was as repre-.
sented and the man was of a good moral
character she would accept.
She was fully satisfied on these points
and they Immediately considered them
selves engaged. Business interests pre-
vented Nelson leaving home long enough
to come to Lincoln and he did not wish
to be so ungallant as to compel his be-
trothed to go to him, so they compro-
missed and agreed to meet at Grand Is.
