Swallowed an oyster she,l.

The Rev. w. D. Shea made narrow
escape in Macon Wednesday night. He
went to a restaurant for some oysters
and swallowed p piece of shell, which
very near cost him his life. The shell
lodged in his throat, lacerating2 the
membrane and causing hemorrhage and
strang gnlation. The several present were
attracted to the minister, who had gone
into convulsions. 85s eeg
A physician was Immediately dis
patched for, but in the meantime the
shell became dislodged and was thrown
up during the yconSulsions. The shell
was about thelsize Of q quarter of q dol

heved of the difficulty the Rev Mr..
Shea soon revived. His throat was con
siderably lacerated, and altogether the
minister had a narrow escape.-C Colum-

Opinions regarding the results that
will follow the international silver con-
vention continue to be conflicting. In
many European financial circles the be-
lief prevails that no satisfactory results
will follow. Germany accepts the invi-
tation to attend the conference because
she does not wish to stand aloof from
the other powers. The German govern
ment and reichstag have always been
opposed to bi-metalism. Only few

Notwithstanding the very general i'm
preston that Harrison will have a prac-
tical walk-oyer in the nomination for
the presidency, Chairman ]. S. Clark
son claims that there are seven millions
of republicans who will be represented
. at the Minneapolis convention who have
not yet made up their minds whom they
will vote for. Clarkson claims that
there will be more uninstructed dele
gates at the convention than has ever
been in the history of the republican
party aud that all the Northern states
and states which cast electoral votes
which will elect have not instructed
their delegates. 1t is. not surprising,

conclude that more than one ballot will
be cast before the choice of the conyen-

Methodist
the
conference

At the Methodist conference
held at Omaha !, report was submit
ted, "fairly bristling" with denouncia-
ton of the outrages practieed on the ne
groes in the South. 1t called on the
government, the states, the church and
all good citizens to rise and abolish these
outrages. The resolution declared that
the colored people were treated shame
fully on the trains, in hotels, and shot
down like dogs, and the law of the land
trampled underfoot by people who de-
spised the colored race. This sounds
remarkably like campaign document
and yet so far from its being regarded in
that light it was unanimously adopted
by rising vote.

An Interestinc Law suit.

A law suit overa meteorite has stirred
the usually tranquil life of Kirchberg,
in Wurtemberg. Some time ago every
body there was startled one night by a
loud report, and a ball of fire was seen
to fall near the Rennecker sawmill On
the next day stone weighing ton was
found among the logs by laborer in
the mill. News of the occurrence was
published far and wide. Among the
scores of pilgrims to the stone among
the logs were wise men from Stuttgart
and Tubingen, who believed that they
had rare specimen of celestial geologi-
cal formations. Their competitive offers
for the stone bred quarrel between the
laborer and the owner of the mill as to
whether the finder of the stone or the
owner of the land ON which it fell could
claim it rightfully. i
Tubingen professors had it shipped to
the university, after having agreed to
pay $500 for it if it proved to be duly
tested and accredited meteorite. The
laborer thereupon enjoined the mill
owner from receiving the money for the
stone, and the mill owner got a lawyer,
who is trying to raise the injunction.
Meantime, the Tubingen professors have
said that the stone has few attributes of
ameteorite, and have refused to reship
it.; SO laborer and mill owner are about
to begin proceedings to compel them to
return it, both maintaining that the uni
versity is trying to get the meteorite for
nothing.
There are four lawyers in the case al
ready and nothing has been decided, so
the costs bid fair to exceed the value of
dozen meteorites.-NewY York Sun.

Something New in Canoe Racing.


In the last couple of seasons we have
noted the growth of the war canoe, pro-
pelled by paddle entirely, and the sport
had by few races with them has created
something of an interest in padding
races generally, which were giving away
very extensively to the sailing events.
There is now some talk of building en-
larged war canoes, to hold from dozen
to thirty or so, and racing them. There
are few fairly large padding canoes
now in existence but they have served
heretofore on moonlight and other
nights as mediums for the introduction
Of the gentler sex to the fascinations of
the sport. These may be manned for
racing, and, per contra, the ones con-
templated for racing may, on occasion,
be sacrificed to love and beauty. In
either event, it looks as though the re-
gattas of the summer would be made
doubly interesting by these large canoe
races. each boat with crew Of probably
twelve to fifteen paddlers. = Harper's
