The Light of Heaven.

In 1857 the electric telegraph bore
strange messages. One of them read,
my dear parents will rejoice to hear
that I have found peace with God"
Another read: Dear mother, the work
continues, and I, too. have been con-
verted." Another read: "At last, faith
and peace" In Vermont a religious
meeting was singing the hymn, wait
ing and Watching for Me-" The song
rolled out on the night air, and a man
halted and said, II wonder if there
will be any one waiting and watching
for me?" 1t started him heavenward
What was it? The Holy Ghost In
that 1857. Jaynes' hall, Philadelphia,
and Fulton street prayer-meeting, New
York. telegraphed each other the num-
Der of souls saved, and the rising of the
devotional tides. MONDAY prayer
meetings were held in all the cities.
Ships came into harbor, captain and all
the sailors saved on that voyage. Po-
lice and fire departments met in their
rooms for divine worship. At Albany,
the legislature of the state of New York
assembled in the rooms of the Court of
Appeals for religious services. Con-
gressional union prayer-meeting was
opened at Washington. From whence
came the power? From the Holy Ghost.
That power shook New York. That

Another .sFind, in Holiness Castle.

Chicago, Aug. 10-While Investigating the Holmes castle in company with Chica- go officers today Detective Grier of Phil adelphia found hat pin, few charred small bones and some jets of beads that had evidently been worn on a woman's hat The find was brought to police head quarters and examined. The articles were imbedded in the ash pan of an old stove. The bones were separate and inn perfect, so that it could not be deter mined whether they were those of a hu- man being or some animal The police do not attach much interest to the find, but are making every effort to get fur ther information Pat Quinlan was with them when they came to headquarters and it is said that Quinlan had directed the search and has been doing everything in his power to aid the police. One of the officers said that the hat pin and jet beads had been identified by Quinlan as belonging to Mrs. Julia Conlon, and when asked to verify or deny this In- spector Fitzpatrick refused, saying their investigation was not yet ended.

Anniston. Aug. 10.-(Special)-The manager of the Anniston Pipe and Foun- dry company of this city has been ad- vised of the acceptance of his compa- ny's bid to furnish pipe for the water sys- tenn of Tokio, Japan. The order is the largest ever received by an American pipe company, and calls for 30,O00 tons, which, placing it at the lowest possible estimate, will amount to $500,0OO To se- cure the order the company had to bid against the entire civilized world.

Not Related to Washington.

"Oh yes," remarked a Washington bi- cyclist, who is fond of making long rides through the adjacent country, to a Wash ington Star writer in response to an in quiry, T have some very interesting experiences and hear some very strange stories in the out-of-the-way places l sometimes get into, but about the most remarkable thing I have heard I heard last week up here in Loudoun county, in the shadows of the Blue Ridge. As I was riding along pleasant piece of mountain road, nicely shaded, I saw a black snake stretched across my track, and without giving him much time to think what was coming I dashed over him and disabled him. Then, to put him out of his misery and keep up my end of the scriptural injunction, got off my wheel and went back to finish him. While I was at it native came up with bask- ct of eggs on his arm and a dog at his heels.
 Well, he said in a greeting, T see you done for him..
 Yes said I, and he isn't the first one.

 He must have hit something else be- sides the snake.
 1" 'P'raps he did. seen a half of hoss shoe with some nails in it lyin' by the side of the snake after he killed It..
 s''The burst tire was of more interest to me than the snake and l went after that.
 Did he fix up his tire?' inquired.
 ." Not much. It was whacked right in two.'
 i" What did he do? Foot it down to Round Hill?'
 "s.Well. he thought he would have to, and started, but he hadn't gone 50 feet, shoyin' the bicycle along like a wheel barrer. when an idee struck him and he came back a runnin' to where he left the snake. It was a powerful long one, like these mountain racers get to be, and he held it up for a minute measurin' 1t with his eye. Then he laid 1t down on the ground, cut ring around its body as close up to it's ears as he could get and peeled that snakes skin off like you'd peel off a stockin'. l thought he was goin' to keep it for forgit-me-not, but that wasn't it. He blowed it up with a little pump he had with him. tied the open end with some rubber he had, slapped it around the wheel where the tire had been, and away he went. l got down to Round Hill in about two hours and found him settin' on tavern porch lool1in as fresh as if he'd been there for two weeks. and the snake-skin tire didn't have a crack in it.
 "'What was the mans name?' I asked, quite upset by this astonishing tale.
 "I never axed him. but he was some fellow from Washington and looked like he might a been a congressman CT some thin

CORBETT AND HTz FIGHT Rough and Tumble in a PhiIa-
 delphia Hotel CORBETT THE AGGRESS0R Several Others Were in the MeIee-Fitzsim- mons Mouth Cut-He Throws
 Decanter.

Philadelphia, Aug. 10.-Bob Fitzsim- mons and James J. Corbett came to blows in this city tonight at Greens hotel Fitzsmmons had just come down from the Winter circus, where he had been giving a punching exhibition. He was going over to the eating bar to get a luncheon with his boxing partner, Thom- as Forrest
 Corbett, his brother, Joseph, W. A. Brady and John Mcveay, member of Corbett's company, were standing near the clerks desk al the end of the bar as Fitzsimmons and Forrest passed in. The Corbett party had been drinking, and in a spirit of bragadocio Corbett attempted to pull Fitzslmmons' nose. The latter backed away but Corbett followed up and finally Fitzsimmons resisted. In moment there was general melee. Brady picked up a chair and attempted to brain Fitzsimmons, and the latter threw him to one side. Corbett's brother then took a hand in the game. He struck FitZsmmons in the mouth, cutting his lips. Forrest came to Fitzsimmons' as- slstance and he and Joe Corbett were tussling about the place, knocking chairs and tables to the right and left.
 Meanwhile Corbett was trying to get at Fitzsimmons and then McVeay got into the struggling crowd. Seeing the odds against him, FitZslmmons picked up a heavy water decanter and hurled it at Brady and Joe Corbett. The flying bot tie went wide of it's mark, and. striking heavy iron column, was smashed into thousands of fragments. As soon as they could recover from their astonish- ment the attaches of the place rushed at the struggling crowd of excited puglllsts and attempted to separate them But it was a hard job and reserve force Of police officers was called in and Tn lew minutes the men were separated.
 Corbett and his party left the place.
 Fitzsmmons sat down to have his luncheon, but he was too excited to en- joy it. and after partaking of small portion of it he gave up the attempt and started out for a walk. His clothes were somewhat deranged and his shirt torn. One of his hands were bleeding and it looked as if it had been cut with pen knife or some other small weapon, al though the wound might have been made by a piece of glass from the broken de- canter. No arrests were made.

I aE WHEEL.

 George -Eyerson, a young married man, living with his wife at Hawthorne, suburb of Patterson, N. J., says dis patch from this city, wants an injunc- tfen to prevent his wife from wearing bloomers. He is an enthusiastic bicycler, and some time ago taught his wife how to ride. She complained, however, that there was little enjoyment riding with heavy skirts, and a few days ago she came out in the bright red blomers. Her husband argued with her and tried in vain to persuade her to give them up. She was obstinate, however, and finally the husband consulted Lawyer Randall as to the possibilities of getting an in- Junction from court to restrain his wife from wearing bloomers. When told he could hardly get a court to act in such a case he went home sadly to renew his arguments with his wife.
 The short skirt and leggings of the wheelwomen are so convenient that they have been adopted by some women at summer resorts who do not ride wheel They are especially advantageous for tennis and for walking tours, and many of the wearers declare they will regret ever having to go back to the long skirts
 If a bicycles known as a "bike,"
 A tricycle. must be "trike,'
 And when winter comes round
 It will doubtless be found
 That an icycle goes as an ike"

 Washington, Aug. 10.-The protest sent to President Cleveland by American citi- zens in Shanghai against the alleged in- activity and indifference to American in- terests by Minister Denby. particularly in allowing a British consular officer to represent the United States in the Kutchengen massacre, was received by Acting Secretary Adee by telegraph this afternoon from Gray Gables. Immediate ly a conference followed between MT. Adee and Acting Secretary McAdoo of the navy department. As a result MT. McAdoo sent a dispatch to Rear Admiral Carpenter, informing him of the com plaints of inactivity and requesting him to do all in his power to allay appre- henson through the distribution or United States naval vessels under his command. The admiral was requested to answer as to the condition of affairs and whether his force could be so placed as to give protection and calm the fears of agents who may be i-l danger.
 After the conference MT. McAdoo gave out this statement:
 The navy department presumes that Admiral Carpenter is in constant com munication with Minister Denby regard ing the protection of American citizens in China, and that he is doing everything in his power to that end. He has been communicated with by the department, which expects to hear from him very soon."
 The departure of the cruiser Detroit today from Shanghai for Foo-Chow, of which a cabled report was received at the navy department, was one of the reasons why the dispatch was sent to Admiral Carpenter. It was thought that Shanghai Americans might be apprehensive De- cause the protection of the Detroit was removed

pany's New Plan.
 Spring Valley, H., Aug. 10.-The negro miners who had been driven out of town by the Italians returned early this morn ing and nearly all went to work. They are guarded by armed deputies, but ev- erything is peaceful and no further out break is feared.
 The ten colored policemen sworn in yesterday have been on duty all day in the vicinity of shaft No. 3 and there has been no disturbance. It would appear from the events of yesterday and today that the company formed a plan to pre- vent further attempts to drive the col ored people out of the city by importing colored miners in such numbers that they will be protection in themselves. Yesterday, in addition to the regular employees who returned to the mills fif- teen colored men went to work who had never been employed there before, and today the number of new men was about the same. Most of the new men come from Joliet and Braidwood, and it is said others will come from Missouri
