At Shelbyville, Ind, Nov. %, by
mistake natural gas was given high
pressure in .he low pressure mains
and at midnight it was discovered
that over 500 stoves and heaters in
all parts of the city were melting
under the intense heat, and many
building were igniting. Bells rung,
whistles sounded and the citizens
were aroused to discover themselves
in the midst Of a general fire. The
flow of gas was arrested, aud only
three houses were burned. If the
alarm had been 90 minutes later no
power could have saved the city
from total humiliation.

Doubtless some of the smart re-
marks attributed to witnesses in
court by conscienceless story tellers
could not be supported by affidavits,
but the following conversation actu-
ally occurred at Pittsburg last week:
Attorney Reardon was defending a
client charged with illegal liquor
selling, when Ruth Woodford, a
former client of Reardon's, was call
ed to the stand. "You have been
here before, haven't your said the
attorney. "You ought to know,
Mr.. Reardon," she replied. "And
you were sent to the workhouse,
weren't you p "Well, gave you
enough money to keep me out of it, !"
retorted Ruth. "You were inno-
cent, of course" persisted the at,
torney sarcastically. "Well, you
said / was," replied Ruth. This
ended her cross examination.
