Josephus, the Jewish historian,

Tosephus, the Jewish historian,
relates that the following phe-
nomena appeared just at the be-
of the war that ended in
The destruction of Jerusalem by
the Roman army under Titus:
GA comet, which bore the resem-
blance Of asword,, hung over the
city Of Jerusalem, for the space of
a whole year. A short time before
the revolt of the Jews, a most re-
markable and extraordinary light
was seen before the altar of the
temple. It happened at the ninth
hour. of the night preceding the
celebration of the Feast of the
Passover. and continued about
half an hour giving a light equal
to that of day. Ignorant persons
thought this a good omen; but
those of superior judgment thought
that it was prediction Of ap-
preaching war. The eastern gate
Of the interior part of the temple
was composed of solid brass, and
was of such immense weight that
it was the labor of twenty men to
make it fast every night. 1t was
secured with iron bolts and bars,
which were let down into a large
threshold; consisting Of an entire
stone. About the fifth hour of the
night this gate opened without'any
human assistance. Some persons
thought this a good omen also, but
others thought that it predicted
the success of the enemy and the
destruction of the city. A short
time after the celebration of the
Feastof the Passover, before tile
setting of the sun, the appearance
of chariots and armed men were
seen in the air, in various parts OF
the country, passing around the
city, Jerusalem among the clouds

Horrible if True.

SAVANNAH, Sept. GA special
from Waycross to the Evening
Press says the following story was
told by a reliable gentleman OF
Coffee county: Yesterday a pretty
white girl went to a house near
Stokes still and begged for food.
She said that she and her sister
had been stolen from their home
five weeks ago by a negro and had
been tied to trees near the turpen-
tine stills and forced to be abused
by negroes brought to them at
night by their captor. She man
aged to gnaw the rope and escaped,
leaving her sister tied.
Before she finished her story a
negro called and threatened to kill
her if she didn't leave. An alarm
has been raised and the neighbor-
hood is in pursuit with blood
hounds. Stokes is still surround
ed and every effort will be made
to rescue the girls and capture the
brute.

STEAM BICYCLES.
They Can be Made to Run IL
Miles an Hour Right Along.


A steam bicycle, constructed on
novel principles, is the invention
of Konrad yon Meyenburg, stu
dent of the Royal Polytechnic
School of Dresden, Saxony, who
arrived in New York city lastweek
on a vacation trip.
/. He has applied for patents on on
his bicycle in Germany, England,
and the United States. In his
opinion it will come into general
use for long distance riding, as it
can be run, he says, at an average
speed of twelve to fourteen miles
an hour and the cost of fuel is a
trife. A bicycle fitted with the
steam apparatus will weigh about
eighty pounds and will cost about
$1OO more than the ordinary safety
machine.
