w. Ii. FLEMING SERIOUSLY HURT.
A Vicious Horse IL fci<s Him I'm the
Face.

Augusta, Ga, April 1S-(SpeciaI)-W. H..
Fleming, the well-knoWn member of the
state legislature, met with a very serious
accident at o'clock this afternoon. He
is the owner Of a very vicious horse. which
he generally uses for saddle purposes, but
this afternoon attempted to drive him.
When nearing the city limits, the horse,
which was hitched to Il road cart, kicked
over the dashboard, both feet striking Mr..
Fleming in the face. The effects of the
blow were horrible. The left eye was
totally eXtinsuished. The right jaw was
fractured, was the nose There We're
also several very bad cuts about the face,
and the accident is considered very danger
Gus, indeed. Mr.. Fleming never lost con-
sciOuSneSs until put under Opiates, in order
that the five attendant physicians might
operate on the wounds. His courage after
the accident was most admirable, and.
while suffering intense pain, he related
how the accident occurred without a culver
or groan. The wounds are all of a serious
nature, but not fatal, and recovery is eX-
pected. unless complications set in. The
whole city IS shocked by the news, as Air
Fleming is Il very popular man, and was
standing for reelection to the legislature.

Farewell Sermon of Rev William T. Jor-
dan at the Free Church.

Yesterday forenoon Rev. William L.
Jordan, founder, and for seven years pas
tor Of the Free Church at Morrill's Cor
ner, preached his farewell sermon pre-
paratory to going to his new field at Sill
verton, Colorado. The attendance was
large. Mr.. Jordan took as his text: And
now l know that ye all, among whom
l went about preaching the kingdom,
shall see my face no more; and now l
commend you to His grace" etc.d These
were the words of Paul, as he took leave
Of the church at Epheseus, which he had
founded Mr.. Jordan said that he had
loved this church. es he could love no
other, for he Lad founded it and watched
over it. When he came there he.knew
but two persons in the town. He was
sent here by no missionary society, and
for the first four years received not
cent of support from any human being.
He said he would not review in detail.
the work, which was not his alone by
any means, but the work of the whole
congregation. The good done by this
church could only bo measured when
the deeds of this world should be viewed
from the higher world. The future of
the church ought to be very prosperous.
Deering, which was but a part. of Port
land, is growing very fast, and glori-
GUS future is before this church. The
only thing that can prevent this will be
the members of the church ITSELF 1t
they will Keep in mind their noble mis-
sion the church will grow. One of the
dangers of future pastors work will be
to strive after popularity. II ever you
are tempted to find a. pastor who will
preach to point out the sins of others
rather Than your own sins, who will
strive to be popular preacher. recol-
Iect that such course may bring
crowds of the curious for time, but
will in the end leave your society ener-
waited.
In conclusion, Mr.. Jordan gave his per-
sonal thanks to all mis- congregation
for what, they had done for him, and
asked that their prayers should go with
him to his new field.
At the social meeting in the evening,
Mr.. Jordan took personal farewell OF
his congregation.

A BAD BREAK
In the Water Main Floods Exchange Street
Cellars.

There was very bad break in the main
water pipe ON Congress street about 4.5C
O'Clock Saturday morning. The first init
nation of the catastrophe was water trick
ing through from the street into the press
room of this journal. The pressman at once
suspected that water main had burst. and
as the water began to flow in faster and in
crease in depth, word was sent to Casco SIS
house. Mi. French. the engineer, immedi-
ately teIephoned Chief jackson for permis-
sion to take the steamer and pump out the
water. and the chief promptly gave the re-
quired permission. AS the result OF the
courteous dec ision of the chief. and the
prompt action of Engineer French-to both
of whom this paper desires to return thanks
but little damage resulted to this ohce,
and was confined to the loss of some rolls OF
paper, and a delay in working off part of
the morning edition.
Several other cellars on Exchange street
suffered more or less, among them those of
the Portland Savings bank and S. S. Rich
& Son.
The break was an extended one, and as
the water poured into the sewer close by.
taking quantities of earth with it, the dirt
damned the sewer and caused the water to
rush into the cellars. Congress street
horse car passed over the spot in safety and
Immediately afterwards the earth caved in
showing the break. The Water company
men were ON hand by seven O'Clock and
later in the day the break had been re-
paired, withssome Inconvenience to water
takers in that part Of the city who found
their supply shut off.

The Bengal grosbeck builds nest shaped
like bottle. and always selects for its sup

stream of water. The entrance is beneath,
and from the situation and peculiar shape
1t is almost impossible for a snake to gain
admission to the nest. One naturalist rec

OF serpents to get at the nest, but the hun
CRY snakes always fell off into the water.
The cormorant is trained by the Chinese
as fishing bird. A ring is placed around
the birds neck. which prevents it from
swallowing the fish it has tax en-. One
Chinaman will utilize a dozen of these birds
during the days fishing, sending them IN
der the water in regular succession. They
were formerly used in the same manner in
England. Charles l. had an officer OF his
household designated as master of the cor
morants.
The social grosbec ks of South Africa live
in large societies. They select a tree of
considerable size, and literally cover it
with grass roof, under which their COM
mon dwelling is constructed. The roof
serves the double purpose of keeping of
the heat and the rain and 400 or 500 pairs
of birds are known to have the same shell
ter. The nests in this dwelling are built in
regular streets and closely resemble rows of
tenement houses.
The development of chick within the
egg is one of the most wonderful things in
nature. AT the end of the fifty-eighth hour
of incubation the heart begins to beat. two
vesicles are seen. and fe " houIs later the
auricles also appear; on the forth day the
outlines of the wings may be perceived and
sometimes of the head also: on the fifth
day the liver is visible; on the sixth. other
internal organs appear; in 1870 hours the
beak is fully formed; in 200 hours the ribs
are clearly developed; in a4O hours the
feathers are visible; In 26S hours the eyes
appear; in 2SS the RIBS are completed and
the feathers on the breast; in $50. the lungs,
stomach and breast have assumed natu-
raj appearance. On the eighteenth day the
first faint piping of the chicken is some
times audible.

COL. Won HANNEKEN's CAREER.
How the Successful German Officer Has
Won His Way in the Navy in China.

Col. Won HanLeken. who has been invest
ed with the complete control of the Chinese
navy. is the officer whose name was fire.
quently mentioned in the dispatches relat-
ing to the sinking of the Kow Shing, and
who was on board at the time. He was also
in high command at the battle of the Yalu
River, and proba bly, was responsible for the
maneuvering of the fleet, for Admiral Ting,
who was nominally in command, though
personally brave man, was hardly up to
modern ideas of what an Admiral should be.
Col. Won Hanneken was reported wounded
at the mouth of the Yalu, but his wound
must have been slight one, for he was
able to resume his duties shortly afterward.
Constantine Won Hanneken is a German
by birth. He halls from Wiesbaden, where
he was born 80 years ago. His faher was
Northumberland in the German army,
and descended from an old noble family.
After serving some time in the German in
fantry and artillery young Won Hanneken.
seeing little prospect of advancement, resign
and upon friend''s advice went to China.
Here his personal qualities and his techni-
cal military knowledge soon won him many
friends and drew the attention of men i'll
authority to him. He had the great fortune
pleased him so much that Li-Hung- Chang
made the young German his personal Adju-
tant. In this place he exercised more in
fuence than any other European. it is said,
in the Flowery Kingdom. The Viceroy had
great confidence in him, and allowed him
much liberty and many privileges.
Won Hanneken devoted muct attention
to the fertilization of the harbors and the
building Of bridges. and superintendent Lie
erection of the fortresses and harbors OF
Port Arthur and Wei Hal Wei. Herr Won
Hanneken was promoted rapidly to the
highest military places in the gift of the
government, and of his protec tor ana was
dec GRATED and distinguished in many ways.
A year ago he resigned from the army
and went to Europe. He spent consider
a BILE time with his family and about three
months ago started back to China. with The
intention of bringing his effects to Europe,
where, having amassed competency, he
intended to pass the rest of his days. But
the war broke out in the meantime and he at
once offered his services TO the crown.
He has done good work for the Chinese in
the present war, and was recently decorat-
ed in recognition of the valuable assistance
he has rendered since the struggle began.

| quarts of wateglJ when suddenly attacked.
and with no time for escape. he will turn

The mock king bird seems to have a gen.
uine sense of humor. Often, when engaged
| in the most charming imitation of some
song bird. it will suddenly stop and break
| out with the quacking of a duck or some
other ludicrous sound.
The tailor bird takes its name from its
habit of sewing together two leaves in or
der to make pocket in which to place it's
| nest. It's thread is vegetable fiber.
though it will. in preference, use a string,
thread or cord, if such can be found.
The geese and cranes of North America
commonly Inter in the West Indies and
| in the valleys of the Amazon and Orinoco.
but great flooks of them have been seen
crossing the South Atlantic in the autumn
evidently bound for Africa.
| Humming birds have been known to show
anger if the flower they approach contains
no honey. Audubon says he has seen them
more than once tear such flower from
| the stem. at the same time chattering loudly
| as though in wrath.
The carrier pigeon was in use by the
state department of the Ottoman empire
as early as the fourteenth century. Lith-
grow says that dispatch has been carried
from Ragdad to Aleppo, sc days journey
| on horses. in 48 hours.
The peacock's spreading train Is not the
birds tail, but a coronal of feathers above
| the tail. The true tail consists of eighteen
| feathers beneath the corona. The latter is
provided with curious set of muscles by
| which it can be erected at will.
| There is common belief in India that
the Indian oriole lights his hanging nest
with firefies. 1t is said that the bird catches
the insects and fastens them head first in q
bit of moist clay. Naturalists have
found the insects thus imprisoned.
The snipe has nerve reaching down to
the tip of its bill. 1t is the only bird thus
| provided, and this contrivance illustrates
the beneicence of nature IN enabling the
| snipe to detect the presence OF Its food in
| mud and water where the creatures eye is
| Of no Use.
| The bird of paradise is found wild in In
Ola and Central Africa. 1t was SO called
not on account of its beauty, but from the
fact that the earliest dealers cut OIL the ugly

world and did not alight in this SO 1t had
no need of feet.
Humming birds can be domesticated and
kept alive in cages by the curious expeaient
of making tubular paper MOVERS at Inc
bottom of which is placed small quantitS
of sugar and water frequently renewed.
They are thus enabled to take thelr houlish
ment in the usual way, and soon become ap-
parently contented.
