HEAVY SHOWERS.
And Lively squau Mix Up Things About
Town.

The heavy muggy atmosphere that
prevailed through Friday and Saturday
morning eliminated at p. m. Saturday
in a down pour of rain that while not
as great as often seen in shower, yet
was very heavy for the short time in
which it fell The sudden volume proved
too much for some of the sewers. Down
at Franklin wharf the sewer was gorged
and the water flowed back. overlooking
the floor of the Grand Trunk round
house for depth of several inches, and
filing tho locomotive pits.
The sewer overfowed at the corner of
Preble and Oxford streets and washed
out the body of a newly born infant that
had been deposited there by some one
Officer Hanson notified Coroner Perry
There is no clue to the person who put
the body in the sewer.
AT 6.59 pm. another heavy shower,
accompanied with thunder and lightning,
broke over the city. One bolt fell in the
harbor with tremendous crash, and
another struck J. Gerrish & Co.'S build
ing corner of Commercial and franklin
streets, tearing some shingles from the
roof There was seventy -hundredths
Of an inch of rain fell in the first, and
eighteen hundredths of an inch in the
second shower The highest rate of wind
in the squall in town was fourteen miles
an hour, but it must have been fiercer
down the bay.
Mrs. Florinda Tenant, who lives at
81 Wilmot street, experienced an over
flow of the sewer, the water flooding her
kitchen and dining room. There was
a bad washout at the corner of Spring
and May streets, and numberless small
ones elsewhere. The streets were washed
as clean as could be.
The yacht Actaeon at Peaks island
was struck by lightning, but only slight
ly damaged. A gentleman on board
was stunned for few moments.
Mr. Lloyd Bingham, of the Pavilion,
was out in sail boat in the squall and

A CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE, NOTE.
Considerable Doubt Whether One of the
Contributions Will Amount to Anything.


St. Louis, August 90. ---One of the con-
tributors at the Christian Alliance camp
meeting at Old Orchard, Me-, recently
was note for $500, given by Clara B.
Ely, widow of the late Frank Ely, the
wealthy wholesale dry goods merchant OF
this city. There is queer story con-
nected with this note, which has just
come to light
The story opens with the decision OF
Mrs Ely, woman worth half million
to renounce all things worldly and devote
her life to the Lord, followed by an e1clt-
ing meeting at the Full Gospel Ia ber-
nacle, at which Mrs. Ely announced her
determination to sell her handsome
jewelry and give the proceeds to the cause
Of Christ Mrs. Ely solicited the aid OF
George W. Locke, a real estate man,
whose friend, Julius Hartman, is a
diamond expert, and agreed to sell the
stones. Hartman had trouble i'll disposing
of the jeweIry, and, according to Locke,
became ensnared by a woman, for whom
he gradually broke away from friends
and family. HeEwas about to fall when
the final act of the drama opened.
Having received no return for the
diamonds, Mrs Ely sent to Locke, who
recalled Hartman to his senses. The
moment Hartman was brought into the
presence of Mrs. ELY her all-peryading
power for good exercised a wonderful in
f1uence over him, and he decided to be-
come Christian and lead an exemplary
life He declared his intentions to Mrs.
Ely, and together they knelt down and
prayed. He was forgiven and the curtain
falls
Mrs. Ely advanced money to Hartman,
and he executed his note for $500, payable
whenever he can raise the money. The
aftermath of the story came with the
turning over of the check to the foreign
missions fund at Old Orchard. The note
is made payable on demand. There are
sceptical people who believe the note is
not good. Mrs. Ely has faith that it will
be paid Hartman says he is not IN a
position to meet the obligation now, but
will pay it at the earliest opportunity
Should the Christian hAlliance wish to
realize on the note befor Hartman is able
to pay, Mrs Ely will make the amount
good and wait on Hartman for the
money.

A Birds Nest of Metal.

10 the Museum of Natural History at
Soleure, in Switzerland, there is birds
nest made entirely Of steel. There are
a number Of clock-making shops at So
leure; and in the yards of these shops
there are often found lying disused or
broken springs of clocks. One day
clock maker noticed in tree in his yard
a birds nest of peculiar appearance.
Examining it, he found that pair of
wagtails had built nest entirely of
clock springs. 1t was more than four
inches across, and perfectly comfortable
for the birds. After the feathered archi.
tects had reared their brood, the nest
was taken to the Museum. whore it is
preserved as a striking illustration Of
the skill of birds in turning their sur
roundings to advantage in building their
nests.

Agriculture In Great Britain.

The fact that agriculture is in process
of gradual abandonment in Great Brit
ain may account in part for the increase
in immigration from that country, the
number Of arrivals since August aggre-
eating 23s,000. 1t evidently does not
pay the British farmer to raise wheat on
high priced British land. The next
problem is to make this land profitable
in some other way. The decline in wheat
acreage this year lie 26 per cent less than
1894 This indicates that upward of
100000 acres of land have failed of cul-
tivation because agriculture no longer
pays--Philadelphia Times.

TIE RESULT.

One Of our exchanges gives this
picture, which is not overdrawn, OF the
result of Republican victory in this
State A Republican Governor would
make all the school boards partisan
Republican, as they were before under
Republican rule, and when none but
Republicans were accepted as teachers.
He would appoint Republican registers
Of voters, justices of the peace, election
officers. and all other appointive officers
would be Republican. \ Republican
Legislature would not only elect Re-
publican United States Senator. but
Police Commissioners Tor Baltimore
city. and these would soon create a
partisan Republican police force The
Legislature would also elect a Repub-
lican State Treasurer. and the State
Tax Commissioner and Insurance
Commissioner would he Republican,

Works, composed Of the Governor

To follow the Baltimore Sun into the

week SAYS
What the democratic party in this
State needs is democratic newspaper
in Baltimore-one that will not be
swayed by selfish motives and personal
greed.
The SuR talks about Mr.. Hurst be-
ing "Gorman candidate" Why is
Mr.. Hurst any more of a German can
didate than was Governor jackson or
Governor Brown? Were they Cor
man candidates? Ye, the Sun sup
ported them, and would willingly
have supported Governor Brown for a
second term. Why? Did he not veto

would have unlocked the Suns big
safes
The MESSENGER agrees with the
Neus and believes that the party should
have a democratic paper in Baltimore.
We suggest that meeting of the
Democratic editors of the State be held
in Baltimore Mt once to formulate a
plan by which a reliable Democratic
Journal may be started. Ii will take
several hundred thousand dollars to
do the thing right and make it 20 but
there are enough Democrats in Mary

brains TO compete with the Republican
editors Of the San. Every Democratic
editor in the State can materially help
to make lasting success of the paper.
