sandusky Young Man Stirs the Town By
His Eccentric Acts.
There Is a young man named Wallace
in Sandusky, o., who believed in doing
things out of the ordinary. He has
been financially embarrassed for some
time and has been enabled TO keep the
wolf from the door through money ad-
vanced him by a woman who expected
20 be his wife when more prosperous
days should come. To gain step to-
ward prosperity Wallace raised sub
scription from the business men and in
return therefor offered to jump from
the courthouse steeple.
This was to occur the other after
noon, and a multitude assembled to
witness the performance. Wallace pro-
vided tank Of water in the courthouse
yard in which to jump, and then
climbed to the top of the steeple.
When about to make the leap the tank
burst and many people were caught in
the food and thoroughly soaked. Wal
lace descended and, giving orders to
have the tank repaired went to the pro
bate Office, secured a license, married
a pretty young lady whom he met fo1
the first time five days before, and after
marrying her returned to the top of the
steeple and made the leap without o
scratch.
The girl whom Wallace married is the
daughter of a wealthy citizen of Mans
field, but has been living here with hei
foster mother. This adopted mother
knew nothing of the marriage until IL
was over, and she fairly made the al,
blue when the news was told TO her
and the woman who expected TO be the
bride is said TO have Mysteries as re
suit of her disappointment.

The other morning Mrs. Steubling
came to town and bought the little in

her threeyear-old child. The little
girl played with the article all day long,
and at night when she retired the doll
was left lying on the floor.
At about two o'clock IN the morning
Mrs. Steuhling's son Jacob, who was
sleeping in the room whcro the doll
was lying, was abruptly awakened by a
loud whistle. He jumped Up and saw
e negro glide hastily out of the room.
He had awakened Mr. Steubling by
stepping upon the whistle in the dolls
stomach. The thief was followed to
the back yard and then chased over
the commons for several squares, but
finally outwitted his pursuers. Had Mr..
Steubling not been awakened the thief
would have carried away all the val

BITTEN BY A TARANTULA
Albany Fruit-Dealer Hovers Be-
tween Life and Death for a Week.
While Handling Bananas He II Bitten on
the Back of tho Hand-His Arm
Turns Black and Swens
Enormously.

Edward Myers, of Oak street, pro
prietor of the fruit stand near the Della.
ware & Hudson depot on lower Maideu
lane. Albany, y. Y, has surprised the
medical world by his recovery from the
poisonous bite Of tarant,ila. or mon
ster spider. Mr. Myers returned 10 his
stand the other day with his right arm
in sling. The arm is wrapped in oiled
silk and cotton, and though more thar
eight days have passed since the bite
the arm shows little signs of life For
the first time Mr.. Myers moved the
fingers of his right hand day or two
ago.
II was over a week ago that the
tropical spider cast its poisonous sub
stance into Mr.. Myers system. Mr.. My
ers had just sold dozen of bananas.
and he pulled some straw from off the
stem of the bunch which hung in front
of his stand. Something dropped upoS
the back of his right hand. He looked
down and observed large spider. II
was as large as a silver dollar. He
brushed it off and stepped upon 1t,
Mr.. Myers knew of the treachery OF
the tnrantula, but as he had felt no
Finch he paid no more attention to it.
II was but three hours afterward that
he realized that he had been bitten by
the spider. his arm was swollen three
times its normal size and was as black
as coal. He hastened to DR.. Trego's
Office and had hot cloths applied to his
arm. Flaxseed poultices were substi-
tuted.
For eight days and nights Mr. Myers
nursed his poisoned member without
wink of sleep or bite of food. He lived
on liquor, lowering between life and
death. Had Mr.. Myers been a drinking
man he would undoubtedly be in his
grave to-day. He owes his life to the
liquor, which stimulated him when he
could not take food.
Twice the swollen and poisoned arm
was lanced. and a pint Of black blood
taken therefrom. DR.. Trego gave
special care to the case, and with much
skill and painstaking he gradually
brought his patient from the brink of
the grave
After the eighth day Mr.. Myers be-
gan to recover. He was able to sleep,
nnd his appetite gradually returned.
The swelling went down and the black
ness turned white. The fear came upon
Mr.. Myers when he felt that his life
was spared that he would lose his right
arm. And even at this time the great
est care must be given the member if
It is to be saved. Should blood poison
ing set in death might ensue even now.
