An Aged Elm Furnished Combustible Ma.
tcriai for II Meteor.
The bennington (Vt.) Banner tells
the story of remarkable occurrence
to great elm tree which stood in the
township of Williamstown, Mass, not
far from the Vermont line. The tree
was one of great size, and was n land
mark for the country about.
Twenty years ago u Williams COLLEGE
professor measured it, and found its
first limb To be one hundred and five
feet above the ground, and the trunl,
twenty-four feet in circumference.
This tree continued to grow and
thrive until. during tho night of the
4th of last August. it was, as all
supposed, struck by lightning. Large
pieces of bark we're stripped off and
thrown many rods away. The ground
was dug up, and n limb two feet in
diameter thrown down.
Next day the tree was seen smoking
at the top. 1t was thought to be hol-
low. and that the lightning had set it
on fire. No flame was to be seen, but
smoke poured out as from a smoke
stack.
During the latter part of August the
tree was struck by lightning "a second
time. but no difference was made in
its appearance by the second bolt. 1t
continued to smoke on steadily.
Weeks and months went by, and the
tree still smoked. On the evening of
election day, November S, suddenly a
great pillar of flame shot upward from
the elm tree twenty-five feet into the
air. 1t was seen by several people in
the ncighborhood, who came rushing
to lind out what it might be. The
flame was accompanied by roar like
that OF Il waterfall. No Immediate in
spcction was made of the trunl, of the
tree, but some time aftcrward il was
examined.
1t had now been burned away until
it was not more than thirty-fivc or
forty feet high. In the ccntcr of the
top of this stub was found substance
which rcscmblcd molten metal. and
was slowly burning its way down
through the tree.
y quantity of this substance was re-
moved. and was sent to Williams col
lcgc for examination. Portions of it
wcrc also sent to bennington and
placed on exhibition there.

port of the Williams college analvzcrs.
1t Is supposed to he mctcoric metal:
and it is also supposed that the tree
was struck. not by lightning. but by Il
meteor, which remained with the aid
of the trees wood. incandcSccnt for
more than three months. 1t is not in
decd. known that the fire in the tree is
yet cXtinguishcd.
The tree could not have been hollow
or dccaycd, for. il it had been. it would
have burned much moro rapidly.
Previous cases arc on record in which
trees have been set on fire by meteors,
but none. perhaps, in which tree has

A Sensational Case Before the Re-
corder-A Young Girls Trouble.

corder-A Young Girls Trouble.
A pretty young lady, "Miss
Emma Wilkins" appeared in pc.
lice court this morning to answer
to the charge Of using loud and
insulting language to Miss Tillie
Hauck. The evidence went to
show that "Miss Wilkins" met
Miss Hauck on Avenue ID Satur-
day night, and said: "Miss Tillie,
you must take back what you
said about me-" 81 said moth
ing" said Miss Tillie. t"IOu
did, and you are no lady"
81 am as much Of a lady as
you are; besides, l don't get my
name in the Sum-" replied Miss
Hauck. The recorder saw no cause
for fine to be imposed, and as
consequence, dismissed the case.
"Miss Wilkins" is of good fam
lily, but has been unfortunate.
Some time ago, it was learned by
her folks that she was about to be-
come a mother, and that the father
of the child was railroad en-
gineer. She was taken to house,
by the railroader, on Dawson
street. Shortly after that time,
ex-City Detectives O'Meara and
Van Ripper found her there, took
her to her parents on Avenue ID,
and had the woman of the house
arrested on the charge of attempt
ing to procure an abortion. A full
account of the sensation was chrOn-
icled in the newspapers at the
time it occurred, which led to the
row between the two young wo-
men Saturday night.

An Explanation.

Mr.. Fred Small, route agent for
the LIGHT, fears that the pub
lished report of the burial of his
brother, at Langtry, and his own
connection Herewith, may be
somewhat misleading. In that in
terview, Mr.. Small stated nothing
of his own knowledge as to the
killing of his brother, only what
had been told him, he being in
San Antonio when the tragedy
occurred. He says that he was not
left alone or unaided to perform
the last sad rites for the dead, but
kindly hearts and willing hands
rendered him every assistance that
was in their power. Painful
as any reference to this subject
necessarily is, Mr.. Small prefers to
suffer this rather than leave the
impression that he is unmindful
Of the kindly sympathy that rem
dered every possible help and COM
fort under an atfiictiOn made
doubtly sorrowful by the circum-
stances attending it. Every word
of kindly sympathy, every deed of
hrotherly kindness offered during
all those troublOus hours is most
gratefully remembered, and for
them all his heart returns the
thanks his lips cannot express.
