The neighbors around n certain corner
of Ash street were alarmed on Monday
night by low moans issuing from close
ly curtained carriage that stood on the
corner. A driver sat upon the seat.
One of the nsighbors came out and ap-
preached the team to ask what was the
matter. Before he reached the corner
the driver caught sight of him, and
whipping up the horses drove rapidly
off. The folks were doubly alarmed,
and after good deal of exciting talk
asked policeman to call at the house on
the corner and ascertain who was hurt,
or if any mystery was in the means. He
talked with an excited woman who
came to the door, and also with man
who wiped his eyes with handkerchief,
while the neighbors stood across the
street in suspicious silence. The officer
came over the street and told them that
the old family dog, the hero of dozens
and dozens of fights and of 2S years, had
been carried off to die by bullet. The
dog evidently understood his fate, for
he began to moan and moan as soon as
they took him from the house.-Lewis-

An Imprisoned Genius.

Alberto Topaz, who was taken to
Yuma recently to serve two years
term for burglary gave his personal eff
fects to his friends about the jail
Deputy Barry was presented with fac
simile of the Episcopal church made
out Of pasteboard. Topaz could see the
church from one of the Jail windows,
and he reproduced it almost perfectly.
He borrowed knife from Deputy Sheri-
dan with which he cut up the paste
board, and then made paste from flour
with which to stick the pieces together.
1t is piece of workmanship to be proud
of. The greatest production of Topaz
while confined in Jail here is a reproduc-
ton of the magnificent Merchants ex-
change building in Guadalajara. The
entire affair is constructed of paper.
On the inside Of the building are the
stairways, ETC., each perfect in its con-
struction. The prisoner must be pos

most men are, to remember every detail
of that large structure for number of
years. However much genius the man
possessed, he has made bad use of it,

Troublesome Seals.

The salmon fishermen down the river
and bay are having trouble this spring
from the seals, as usual. These pests
are multiplying rather than decreasing
and are causing great losses to the weirs.
While the seals of the arctic regions
have the reputation of being slow,
stupid animals, hunters killing them
with clubs, those on the Maine coast
are the sharpest game to be found.
They will go in and out of the salmon
weirs, either by force or strategy, and
eat all the fish they want. They are
very hard to get shot at, and when hit
sink to the bottom, the carcass thus
being lost to the gunner. One fisher
man remarked on recent Saturday
that there was small fortune in store
for the man who would invent trap
that would catch seals and hold them.
The bounty upon them doesn't seem to
do bit of good.-Bangor (Me.) Com

A marriage was interrupted Thursday
night by the groom becoming suddenly
overcome with the heat and he had to
be taken to his hotel, where he has been
confined to his bed ever since.
The groom in question is Mr.. w. S.
Fowler who boards at the Enterprise
hotel. Until a short while ago he con-
Quoted livery stable on East Market
street, but retired about year ago with
comfortable fortune. Mr.. Fowler is
widower, seventy-fve years old, and
has several grown children. A short
while ago he met Miss Lille Townsend,
young woman twenty-five years of
age, who is employed by J. Bacon & Sons
at the glove counter.
The courtship did not last long till the
engagement was announced. Mr.. Fowl
er's children, it seems, objected strongly
to the marriage and did everything in
their power to break off the match. They
were unsuccessful, however, and June
Is, the day set for the marriage, arrived.
The wedding was to take place where
Miss Townsend has boarded for several
years. Everything was in readiness at
the time appointed-the guests, the min
lister and the happy couple.
Just before the time for the ceremony
Mr.. Fowler became very faint and
would have fallen but for the support of
one of the guests. He sSon lost con-
sciousness and was taken to the Enter
prise hotel in a carriage, where he was
put to bed and the doctor summoned.
His condition was found not to be seri-
Gus, but he was suffering from a slight
case of nstroke.-Louisville Courier

A Ball of Fire on n Housetop.

During a severe electrical storm this
evening the Crescent oil refinery was
struck by lightning and caught fire, but
the blaze was extinguished without
much damage. The house of Ferdinand
Kreiner was struck by ball of electric
fire, which exploded with tremendous
force. A fire alarm was turned in, but
the electrical display burned itself out
without even setting fire to the house.
Eyewitnesses say it was the most re-
markable sight they ever witnessed. An
enormous electric globe of fire lodged
against the peak of the house, where it
hung, burning and splitting flashes of
fire until exhausted. Every inmate of
the place was more or less severely
shocked, the air being heavily charged.
All watches and clocks on the premises
were stopped and other electrical phe-
nomena occurred. Cor. Pitts

gurated the bazaar. The most attrac.
tive feature of the entertainment was
game of Giving whist" in which the
cards were represented by the Masonic
orphans, who had been previously drilled
to absolute perfection. Here is a de-
scription of the game:
To represent the card table q large
cloth is stretched on the floor, at the
sides of which the four players only
take their seats. To the sounding of a
bugle call the living cards enter in pro-
cession, the kings and queens all attend
ed by their knaves and aces, and guard
ed by the smaller cards. After the four
suits have taken up position the court
cards begin stately dance, in which
the smaller cards join. Then the music
changes, becoming more lively. 1t
grows quicker and quicker bX degrees,
until the whole pack gets apparently
into disorder-to represent "a shuttle"
The trumpet sounds again and the cards
open out, disclosing in the center little
blindfold page, who "cuts" the pack
with his wand.
Then the "deaw commences. The page
leads the trump card to its place, and
the other cards move around to quick
music, arranging themselves in four
lines, one on each side of the table.
Another bugle call and the cards step
around, face the players, step off the ta-
BILE and sort themselves into suits. Each
player in turn now calls out his card,
which turns about and moves into the
middle of the table to dance measure,
and so to the end of the trick. The win
ming player now calls the winning card,
who, accompanied by the partners card,
takes captive the other two, walking
them off to the corner of the table where
the tricks are placed. After all the
tricks have been played and score called,
at bugle call the winning tricks form
fours and march round the table in col
umn, the beaten tricks, with downcast
heads, following. Then the corner cleo

An Uncanny Monster.

The people residing along Palmetto
creek, South Carolina, as we'll as those
for miles back in the "slashes," are
highly excited over the appearance of
strange and uncouth creature in that
vicinity. The beast is described as be-
ing creature that far outdoes the night
mare ideas of the mythologists. 1t is
equally at home in the water, on the
land or among the tall trees of the
neighborhood, where it has been most
frequently seen. The general contour
OF the head reminds one of some gigantic
serpent with this exception: The ''snout"
terminates in bulbus, monkey faced
knot, which much resembles the physi-
ognomy of some gigantic ape. From
the neck down, with the exception of
some fin shaped fiippers, which extend
from the arms to the waist, the creature
resembles man, only that the toes and
fingers are armed with claws from two
to six inches long.
Tracks made by the beast in the soft
mud around Hennis lake have been
taken to Donner's Grove, where they are
kept on exhibition in druggists show
case. Those who have seen the horrid
thing face to face say that it is full
nine feet in height, which could hardly
be believed only for the fact that the
tracks mentioned above are within a
small fraction of fifteen inches in length.
Fishermen who surprised the monster
sitting silently on mass of driftwood
declared that its back looked like an al
ligator's, and that it had caudal ter
mination a yard long, which forked like
the tail of a fish.-St. Louis Republic.
