A Miracle Of Wood Carving.

One of the greatest works of Henry
Vorbruggen is the carved pulpit of the
grand parochial church at Brussels.
The whole design is an allegorical
scene. At the base are Adam and Eve,
life size, expelling the angel, while
grim Death himself may be seen
lowering in the rear. The first pair
bear upon their shoulders a hollow
globe, the cavity being the place
where the preacher stands while de-

ceremonies held in the small hall in
the presence of about 2,900 invited
guests. the board of control suddenly
concluded that it had something to say
concerning the opening programme

cision is due TO the board and lofty
public spirit Of President Palmer Of
the national commission and Director
General Davis. both Of whom have
from the first advocated open-air cere-

that the best place for the ceremonies

Return OF the Earring.

The returning wave of early Vic
torian incongruity has brought the re-
vival of that relic of barbarism, the
caring. which the common sense oi
the last years had almost stamped out.
During the last two seasons even the
insignificant earstud had ceased TO
find favor with the fashionable. but
now the orninous presence of orna-
ments in the jewellers windows for
that feature which nature never in
tended for adornment suggests that
while the heavy pendants with which
our grandmothers disfigured their ears
may not again challenge public favor

thrown about the lake service, and ac-
commodations have been provided for
10000 passengers each hour. After
long contentious in the courts the
worlds fair directors were permitted
to build huge pier atthe-foot of Van

His Alleged Slayer Threatened with
Lynching by Angry Syracuse Citizens.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. lone Of the
most dastardly tragedies ever perpetrated
Ia this city was enacted on East Water
street, within few feet Of the CITY Hall,
yesterday. Detective James Harvey was
in the act of making an arrest of two sus-
peoted individuals when one of the men
turned around, drew revolver and shot
the detective in the head, killing him in
stantly.
Harvey was carried to the police station
and officers at once went in puasuit Of the
assassins, who ran over Wtsren street
bridge and up james street, followed by
hundreds of excited men on foot and in
such conveyances as could be forced into
service One Of the pursued was captured.
He was taken to police station, followed
by the angry and excited crowd, and yells
Of lynch him. lynch him" went up. The
excitement was intense. Had not the po-
lice acted promptly there would have been
mob murder on the spot
The murderer gave his name as George
A. Barnes, but refused to say where he re
sided. His companion has not been cap
tured There is some doubt expressed as
/ to whether the man captured is the ont
who did the shooting 1t is believed the
men are part of the gang Of thieves that
have been terrorizing the residents Of cen

since its organization in 1869.

THE last edition Of yesterdays HER
AID was eagerly sought after. The
demand was so great that our fast
presses were unequal to the task. In
this respect the HERALD, which is al
ways ahead of the procession, led all
our county exchanges. In fact our re-
port of the proceedings surpassed that
of the Pottsville afternoon papers.
The people demand the news, and that
is one reason why the HERALD is SC
popular with the masses.

rushing down from the hillsides made the
streets look like rivers. In Caldwell, o., a
few miles from here, there was great de-
struetion of property by a terrible tornado
which accompanied the rain. The hand

appear before the supreme court to show
cause why they should not be held on the
