A Meyersdale dispatch says: A eonsta-
bic named Wilson, from Connellsyille, Pa
had an exciting experience on a b. 4 o.
freight train near Glencoe, short distance
east Of here, on last Saturday morning. The
train crew threw a piano case in which VIII
son was confined of their train while it was
under good headway. The case was COM
pletely mashed up but its inmate got out
safe Il was in lonely place in the noun
tain and nothing WAS known of it until VIII
son reached here and told his story. 1t was
as follows
For some time tie B. K o. road has been
troubled with the loss of beer which was be-
ing shipped from Cumberland to points
west The beer was always shipped but
when the train would reach Connellsyille
there were always numberof kegs missing.
The company put the case into the hands
Of Robert f. Shepperd, the company's detec-
tive, who hes been working on it ever since.
Last week he became suspicious that the
trsinmen were getting away with the beer,
and determined to run them down. Shep-
perd took Wilson and went to Cumberland.
There be put him into piano box. weighted
it down with iron and put the box on a
freight train on which there was quantity
Of beer. In the side of the box there was a
hole through which the spy could detect the
trainmen in any attempt to take the beer
He got along first rate until the train reach
ell Hyndman, when the traiumen noticed
the hole in the box They alsj saw him
moving in the inside. At GlenC5e the door
Of the freight car was opened and the box

Pleasant summer days, for the most part
will prevail at the opening of July. The
full moon. and the center OF Mercury equi-
nOx falling together on June 29th may pro-
long cloudiness, with storms in extreme
East into July, but westerly and central re-
gions will have change 20 fair and cooler.
with rising barometer. BY the 4th, a warm
wave will be well defined on the western side
70 the Countryside barometer will be falling
in the same region, and storms will start
toward the East. From the Fourth to 7th,
all the phenomena Of regular storm period
may be expected at all points, as they march
in regular order from West to East.
TIE 10th and 1Ith are Ieactionary days,
at which TIME IT will grow very warm, and
if active storms do not appear the warmth
will increase past the new moon on the 18Th.
and eliminate in heavy storms on and about
the I6th, which is the central day of the
next storm period. If the new moon on the
18th leans in its perturbing effects toward
the storm period OF 18th to 18th, storms will
appear early in the period, checking the
growing heat and bringing temporarily
more pleasant weather II new moon on
the 18th lends her influence to reactionary
disturbances central on 10Th and 18th, a
crisis of heat and storm will be reached
about those days, if she reaches forward to
storm period Of 18th to Isth heat and storms
viii come to a crisis early in thai period.
About the 22i, 23l. growing warmth,
with all the changes tha, precede and attend
a return TO storminess, will appear These
disturbances, also, will in all probability
reach their crisis very promptly, under
electric pressure Of the moons first quarter
on the 20th. Blusier, with threatening
clouds and local rains, may be expected at
this and at all July periods, but we thiEk
there will be general lack Of rain. The
last period for July runs from 18th to 30th,
the crisis falling coincident with the full
moon on the 2Sth. At this time we will
have entered into the Venus period, which
is eentered August 9th, and if we are TO have
general rains from the Venus disturbance in
August, they are apt to begin in earnest at
the last July period. We look for much
violent disturbances at this time, and hope
for seasonable rains, but shall not be surpTis-
ed If there are more severe bluster, electrical
displays and rapid trasiiions from heat to
cool. than rain. At all events. We may
reasonably expect a respite from summer
heat at the close of the last July storms
