SKY ON FIRE.
A Phenomenon in the Heavens Ad-
mired by Thousands.
A Beam of Light of Great Brilliancy Reach
ing From the Western Horizon Up
Past the Zenith--The Phenome-
non Lasted Several Hours.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-At 1890
o'clock Saturday night the comet,
which is now the object of so much
search and speculation, suddenly de-
veloped an enormous tail, which to the
Impractical eye was taken to be dis
play of the aurora borealis.
At that hour Prof. Frisby, of the Ma
val observatory, was studying the comet
through the nine-inch glass. He no.
ticed long streak of greenish white
light shoot out from the comet and ex-
tend itself almost to the zenith.
Az first, the nucleus of the comet at
that moment hidden by fleecy cloud,
it was thought that the aurora borealis
had sent out an advance notice of a
brilliant engagement, but, as there was
no Pickering, and as the light came
steadily from where the comet had last
been seen, the professor concluded
that he was seeing a comet in process
of development
The tail of the comet was thirty de-
grees in length, distance about sixty
times as long as the moon is wide, and
extended from ten degrees above the
horizon almost to the zenith. 1t was
plainly visible to the naked. eye, and
was watched for some time by the corps
of observers at the institution.
Prof Frisbie said: There is no way
to explain the sudden freak of the
comet. They are erratic bodies, at
best, and the only thing to say is that
this one had reached a stage where it
was ready to throw out the long streak
of luminous gas which we call tail.
1t was not bushy tail, but was a long
ribbon of light, about three times as
wide as the moon"
GENEVA, n. Y, July 17.-Prof. Brooks,
Sunday, reported the observation of a
display of the aurora here Saturday
night, the most magnificent feature Of
which was beam of light of great
brilliancy reaching from the western
horizon up past the zenith towards the
eastern sky. 1t resembled in form and
brightness great comet, for which 1t
was mistaken by many persons. "The
real comet" he said, twas considerably
to the north of this and is becoming
fainter. 1t was just visible Saturday
night in the auroral glow.
VALPARAISO, Ind, July 17.-The most
remarkable phenomenon ever witnessed
by the citizens of this city was the
grand display in the heavens Saturday
night viewed by thousands. A little
after o'clock several flashes of light,
resembling the great search light of
the Worlds fair, shot through the
heavens from east to west, followed by
deep red. Then the light came up
from the east like the rising sun, until
the whole heavens, from east to west,
were brilliantly lighted, and it was al
most as light as day. The phenomenon
lasted until after midnight.
CINCINNATI, July 1.-THE celestial
phenomenon which is set down as
vagary of the recently discovered
comet, was plainly witnessed in this
city. BY many it was thought to be
fire in the suburbs, and newspaper
people made repeated and searching in
quiries in order to locate it.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 17.-The
mailed hand of Gov. Tillman made a
move Saturday against the blind tigers
In Charleston. These have been run
ming now just two weeks, since the dis
pensary law went into effect. For
about ten days the city has been
thronged with the governors spies.
Two days ago the assistant attorney
general of the state arrived here, and
has been in consultation with the spies
and the prosecuting officer of the
county. He applied to a magistrate for
search warrants, but that official re.
fused to issue them, owing to some
legal technicality.
The course Of the proceedings, if pur-
sued as now sketched, will, it may be
safely said, precipitate storm very far
surprising any which has yet attended

This is the program mapped out by

RAT SlAYERS.
Two Owls Do Very Effective Work After
All Else Failed.

PORTSMOUTH, o., July 15.-Lew Gill
gen, whose game cocks are famous in
these parts, has recently suffered the
loss of some of his finest chickens from
rats. He has tried everything in the
shape of traps and poisons without eff
feet. The other day he received from
friend in the country two large hoot-
owls. The idea occurred to Lew to
substitute the owls for the chickens, so
Thursday night he made the change.
Friday morning proved his wisdom, for
when he went to the hen-house the
bodies of sixteen big rats lay prone on
the earth, while the two big owls
looked solemnly at him from their
perches and winked. The owls will re-
main for a. night or two to catch any
stray rats that haven't heard of Gill
gems new breed of game chickens.
