A Big Tunnel Scheme.

CLEVELAND, . go. u -+3l W }i,n
Sooysmi'h of Chicago in letter to Harvey
d. Goulder, general counsel of the Lake
Carriers Association, advocates the build
ing of a tunnel under the Detroit lt.-er
instead of a bridge across it. He esti-
mates the cost of such n tunnel at $4,000
GOO, and the bridge, exclusive of rght-of-
way and land damage, would be $4,000
600. In couc,is on he says:
believing. rs do, that a tunnel is in
every way preferable to bridge, cannot
conceive what good reason the railroad
companies that must furnish the means to
build the crossing can have for building an
inferior structure. when the better one viii
surely cost at least = per cent less. And
it these companies fail to reach the right
conclusion. reasoning from the standpoint
of their own interests, has not the nation
at large some voice in tie matter. when
such g'eat and far-reaching interests are
inyolyed?"

MARVELLOUS MIRACLES
Were Accomplished by the Boy
Wizard at Los Angeles
Theater Last Night
The Lame Did Walk, the Deaf Were
Made to Hear and Cripples Dis
carded Their CrutcIIes=-fiis Private
Office Daily Thronged With Anx-
ious and Afflicted People

The intense interest that has been
aroused over the appearance of the "Boy
Nl2ard In Los Angeles was again mani
rested last night at the Los Angeles thea
ter, where this youthful miracle worker
gave his sixth public demonstration in this
city. The excitement created by this Won
derful healer has never been paralleled by
any parsonage who has visited Los An
geles, and the marvellous cures wrought by
him during the past ten days have been
everywhere discussed and commented
upon as belonging to the times when Christ
dispensed his divine power to heal the sick
aud crippled by the "laying on of hands"
So it is with this boy, who is now in our
midst carrying on The divine, Christ-like
work of curing afflicted humanity.
The great interest taken in the "Boy
Wizard and his works, is evidenced by
the fact that although but a days notice
had been given of last nights demonstra-
ton the theatev was jammed from orches-
ira pit to the gallery doors, and several
thousand people turned away. AS on the
occasion of his previous demonstrations
he "Boy WIZARD treated a great number
of sufferers upon the stage. and by his
wonderful life-giving magnetism restored
paralyzed and rheumatic limbs to useful
ness, and made the deaf hear and the
blind see. Fully twenty cases were treated
in all and in every instance the patients
demonstrated by their actions and testified

with rheumatism, was able to descend the

II. :. Marston of 324 Hill street, suffer-

complication OF other diseases, had not
taken Il step in two years without assist

descended the steps unaided and walked to
his seat in the audience, amid great ap-
plause. Thus it continued for nearly two
hours, when one of the most remarkable
demonstrations ever Witnessed in this city
came to a close.
There seems to be an impre ssion that
only such diseasea as are treated on the
stage are durable. This is altogether wrong,
as all chronic diseases are amenabIe to an

a neghborhood fifteen miles southwest OF

there today at church where the people
of the neighborhood had assembled for
worship. The participants were the Walker
and the Williams boys. Pistols were used
freely and with deadly results. Charley
Walker was killed outright. Will, his
brother, was shot under the right arm.
The third brother, Eaton, had his scalp
grazed with two shots. 1t is not known
how bad the Williams boys are wounded,
yet it is known hat at least one Of them is
seriously wounded and will die. Officers
and physicians have gone to the scene,
and it is hoped the affair is no worse than
reported. Both families are prominent
people and this is the deadly beginning of
"a feud that has ragged for many months
