SELF-WALKING PASTOR.
He Cuts Up Shindigs Before" An
Admitting Public"

Oakland, ILL.,, November 1.-The
little town of Warrenton, three miles
south of here, is considerably excited
over the action of Rev. Mr.. Lawrence,
of the East Donica circuit.
Last night about IL o'clock, as
George Brown, of this city, was pass
ing along Main street. WarrenGon, he
was astonished to meet Rev. Mr.. Law
renee, attired only in a night shirt and
e-brimmed straw hat. AS the
pastor passed him Mr.. Brown noticed
that his eyes were tightly closed, and
ourmising that he wasa somnambulist
he determined to follow him.
When Rev. Lawrence reached the
gate of the Christian churchyard he
entered, closely followed by Mr.. Brown
and walking to the south side
OF the church, he grasped
the lightning rod and began to ascend,
Selling him by the shirt, Mr.. Brown
endeavored to pull him down, but the
cloth gave way and the minister
climbed to the cornice and crawl
ed to the incline of the roof, seating
himself on the roof. He slid to the
bottom of the incline, catching by a
slight projection at the very edge.
He continued this performance until
Mr.. Brown became alarmed, and seiz-
ing the rope OF the church bell he be-
gan to ring for help. The people of
the town mistaking it for a fire alarm,
turned out en- masse and assembled in
the churchyard to the number of 300,
and watched the ministers strange
actions for nearly half an hour. AT
the end of this time he descended the
rod and passing through the crowd
made his way to his boarding house.
On being interviewed this morning
he declared that he knew nothing OF
what happened the night before. He
now sleeps with his leg chained 10 the
bedpost. A young lady secured the
piece of shirt that was torn off, divid.
ing it among her friends as souvenirs
of the incident. She says she will put
her piece in crazy quilt. The peo-
pie who witnessed the performance
enjoyed it very much. and the minister
is none the worse except for severe
cold.

Congressman Bryan says the silver
men propose to introduce silver bill
just as soon as the regular session
opens. Some 30 or 40 of the silver
members and Senator'S held sort of
inforIpal caucus, which was presided
over by General Warner, of Ohio,
They agreed that the question should
now be left to the people whether they
want free silver or ratio of l6 to /.
Silver literature will be circulated
freely, and it was the disposition OF
the caucus that in the Congressional
and and National election partisan
ship should be thrown aside and that
ali free silver advocates may work
tremendously in the interests of their
cause.

John c. Wood has said more than
once in his ungrateful sheet, that any
man who claims to be a Democrat
and votes for Republican is a mon
grel. He calls such "mugwumps,"
"scratchers," etc, and says they have
no claims on their party. Watch out,
Democrats. John G. Wood would
have you blacken your record by vot-
ing for him, and when this has been
done you are not worthy decent recog-
milton from your own party. This is
John Wood. -.

"The repeated gains made by Har

"The repeated gains made by Har-
ward through the use of a kicking
game, must bear some fruit in the
effect upon this years play, and a
stimulus to the kicking game that has
been greatly needed. Our players,
and particularly the new ones, seem to
learn every other style of play before
this, and there are many teams who,
like Cornell in the Harvard game last
year, make no pretense of kicking,
but admit that they cannot make use
of it at all. To know but one method
is to enter every contest handicapped,
and in close games to lose by just that
handicap. The third down must
come even to the best running teams
at times, and then to give up the ball
on the spot instead of thirty or forty
yards down the held is heavy pen
atty for ignorance of the punt. And
this is not all. If the day of an impor-
tant match finds a strong wind blow
ing, the side which fails to take sd-
vantage of that wind when it is in
their favor must become an easy prey
for their more clever opponents, who
can afford to rest a while with the
wind and concentrate all their ener-
gies into half the time" -Football

ticket, and that by majorities that show
tremendous gains. The majority of the re-
publican sheriff-elect, Daniel T. Zimmerman,
is 6l6 and the members of the house Of del

nearly 1900 votes.

FREDERICK CITY.

No other event that has occurred in Fred
erick for many years has caused such pro-
found sorrow as the suicide of George Will
lam Cramer, which occurred on Thursday
morning as consequence of the discovery
by the directors of the Mutual Insurance
Company Of Frederick county, of which he
was for thrty-one years the secretary, of
discrepancies in his accounts, showing
defalcation during the past year of thous-
and dollars, with indications of a much larg-
er aggregate sum taken in previous years.
The company had appointed a committee
last May to examine the books, and upon its
reporting to the company a few days ago
the fact of the defalcation, Mr.. Cramer was
asked for his resignation, and on Wednes-
day notice was sent to him to make good
the shortage soon as possible. 1t was
not the intention Of the company to prose-
cute him, but he dreaded the consequences
of meeting his old associates at a meeting
that was arranged for Thursday at 10 a. M,
and at that hour went out in the suburbs
of the city, in sight of his old homestead and
leaning on the fence, and gazing upon the
spot where he had lived many years, he
placed pistol to his right temple and fired,
the fatal bullet speeding through skull and
brain, while the body of it's victim reeled
and fell, where it was discovered few min
utes later. A coroner's inquest was held
with Justice Eckstein as acting coroner
and a verdict of suicidal death was rem
dered. The body was taken in charge by
Unuertaker Carly, and after being prepared
for burial was removed to the late home of
the deceased on East Sd street. Mr.. Cramer's
wife Is Frustrated by the shock, as are his
children, Mrs. Charles ]. Dali, Harry B.,
Leslie E. and Miss Bette Cramer. He was
sixty years old on the 18th of October last
and a son of the late Philip Cramer of this
county. He moved to Frederick with his
father about thirty five years ago, and thir-
ty-one years ago was appointed secretary
of the insurance company, succeeding Mr.
j. VIM. Birely. He had also been secretary
of the Frederick County Agricultural Society
many years, and was man of wonderfully
genial manner, liberal. kindly hearted. un-
selfish and friend to all. He was amem-
Der of several local Masonic orders and held
in the highest esteem throughout the COM

MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
This is the Time of Year When They
Change Their Abodes.

From the Springfield Republican.
At this season we notice, more than at
other times, that strange habit Of the
feathered creatures to change their abode
passing now, as they do, in large fiocks,
toward a warmer and more foodful eli
mate. But in fact the migration began
long since and is now almost completed;
and If we consider how early II begins and
how long it continues in the spring and
summer we shall find there are but few
months in the year, even in our frigid
New England, when some bird is not
migrating either to or from the torrid
zone. Nobody has yet been able to explain
why this change of surroundings takes
place; for with many birds there seems no
reason why they should not stay in one
place as well as in the other, to which
they so regularly go and come.
Our southern states, for instance and
southern Europe seem as well fitted for
their home the year round as those
more southern or more northern haunts to
which they repair, and 1t is not true of
most birds that they make a leisurely
fitting, like the wealthy class of men and
women, from one climate to another. They
do not. like the invalid of Boston. follow
the strawberry from New Orleans to
Nova Scotia, or from Algiers to Norway:
no. they push on by express train at the
rate some say, of 200 miles an hour till
Cney Te3C0 lnelT goal An EnSISn OBJ
server-DrJ erdon-used to say that an Ash
attic bird, the thorntailed swift, flies 100
miles, from Ceylon to the Himalayas be-
tween sunrise and sunset.
An English naturalist, Mr.. Dixon: in a
volume published last year. advanced a
theory that the original habit of migration
began 10000 years ago at least, in the gls-
cial period. the southward-pushing glaciers
having driven tn birds of Europe, against
their will, down into Africa, whence they
slowly and timidly crept back when the
ice shroud melted from the frozen CONT
nent of Japhet. The spotted fly catcher is
his grand instance. This little bird. far
older than man in England, worked his
way back toward Cornwall and Ben Io-
mond
Our American naturalists do not seen, to
have studied the question so carefully as
Europeans The height and speed of mi
grafton need to be more closely observed.
Canon Tristram noticed millions of swallows
and martins in Syria returning northward
from the Red sea, and only flying l 600 feet
high; but the Cornish enough. a sort of
crow found all over Europe. flew over him
at an elevation of more than 10000 feet
above the sea, and some set the height of
passage in migration at 1900 feet, or the
elevation of Mount Blanc.

Now that the elections are over for a
while partisan politics, which has not been
brisk in Alexandria for several years, will
grow entirely quiescent, and the public bust
ness OF the town will be transacted with
little or no reference to partisan bases.
While the work of the city councils will be
directed in the line Of charging the area
of improved streets and building up the
suburbs into valuable tax-paying property
the attention of the general assembly of

probably be called to several Alexandria
matters of importance. The grant of au-
thority to the city council to issue additional
bonds for public improvements will proba-
bly, be considered at Richmond this winter,
and it is not impossible there may be grit
enough somewhere to introduce into the
general assembly bill to make the corpo-
rate limits Of the city commensurate with
its actual boundaries. An extension is
needed to make Alexandria genuine city.
