COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 25.-Claude

the Methodist Episcopal Church in
this city, had showed high gift of elo-
quence, but his eyes failed him and he
had to return to the house of his father.
The young man was engaged to Miss
Carrie Kingston, but the young lady
thought the wedding should be post
poned until Wilson had recovered, and
the two quarrelling over the matter.
she broke the engagement. Sunday
Wilson called on her and said if she
did not marry him at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning he would kill himself.
He put in an appearance last night and
was ordered away by the young lady's
brother. The preacher drew a reyol-
yer, but was promptly Knocked down.
Wilson then crawled to the porch,
arose and swallowed a dose of rough
on rats and died shortly afterwards.

Yesterday, amounted to four million

AS EXPECTED, the Gillian newspa-
pers accuse Mr. Egan, who has not yet
been relieved, of conniving at the es-
cape of the dynamiters he had protected
at the American legation at Santiago,
after he had received orders from this
government to deliver them to the
Gillian authorities, and say his denial
of that fact is gross falsehood. Mr.
Egan's appointment as minister to Chill
was as unfortunate for Mr.. Harrison's
reputation as it was injurious to the in
terests of this country.

WHEN A girl here recently had her
outer clothing removed by the other
girls in the same factory, and exposed
in that condition, some of the northern
newspapers professed to consider it
only as cumulative evidence of the
semi-barbarous condition of the people
of this section. At the Wesleyan Uni,
versity in Ohio, last week, some of the
female students seized others and burnt
and SCARED for life their faces and
pecks with nitrate of silver. The fac,
tory girls are poor and uneducated
The University girls are rich and "cul'
tured." But that the barbarity of the
latter exceeds that of the former goes
without saving.

THERE. Is nothing strange about the
outflow of gold from this country. The
not unnatural impression in Europe,
created by the efforts of the silverites
here to make silver the standard coin,
is that American securities held there

lars. Therefore, the holders of such
securities abroad are sending them back,
and having them redeemed with gold
as rapidly as possible, so as not to be
caught by the approaching collapse.

MITcHELLs, Va, Apl. 22.-Friday
morning aftera gentle and copious rain
of the day and night previous was a
proverbially spring morning, but as the
sun reached his zenith, old Boreas let
lose his most potent blasts and for the
space of several hours the air was filled
with flying debris of all kinds-broken
limbs Of trees, brush, golden stalks of
hay, straw, house shingles and dust,
added to which were miles of leveled
fences, uprooted and dismantled trees
and unroofed buildings. Such a wind
storm for this section is new. novel and
discouraging.
The dwelling house, very excellent
one, unoccupied, on the farm of George
Robertson, colored, was completely de-
stroyed by fire carly last night.
Alfred Preston, oldest son ofProfessor
w. C. Preston, living near Rapidan Sta
ton, in attempting to cross the Rap
idan river in a one-horse wagon at Hol-
Iaday's Ford came near being drowned.
The river was very flush but he ven
tured in and soon man. horse and
wagon were struggling for life. The
wagon body foatcd off with Prestin in
it and lodged against a tree to which
Preston chung and reached the land.
The horse hoated on down with run
ming gear attached and was rescued by
neighbors.
The frosts and thin ice of the past
few nights has not, as far as we can dis
cover, done any damage to the fruit

THE DYNAMO MADE HARMLESS
At st. Johns College, Oxford, Eng
land, an effective means has been dis
covered for protecting delicate in-
struments from magnetic influence in
their vicinity. In putting some elect
rical machinery in this college, 7-ton
transformer of the dynamometer type
had to be placed within 60 feet of the
testing-room, which is furnished with
several rejecting galvanometers.
To protect the instruments from the
influence of the magnetic field of the
transformer, one of the professors hit
on the idea of wall of scrap iron.
This idea was carried out by building
two brick walls about eight inches
apart around three sides of the dynamo
nearest the laboratory. The space be-
tween the walls was then filled with
scrap iron. Tests made with deli
cate magnetometer showed that the
scrap iron wall was an effective bar
rier to the magnetism.
