SENSES OF THE BLIND.
The Singular Acuteness of One Who Is
 Sightless.

Sightless.
 Throughout my whole life, says blind person in the Argosy, my blind ness has had this remarkable feature in it: always have before my eyes bril- liant light, so that the whole air around me seems, as it were, incandescent. I appear to be walking in light. In this light can call up at will all sorts of beautiful colors, which I see mingled with the radiance and forming part of it. Thus my blindness has always been for me in a certain way bright ness.
 As I grew older there came to me other abnormal peculiarities, which have been mercifully sent as compen- sations. l can always tell when others are looking at me, and I can generally tell whether they are looking at me in kindness or the reverse. My sense of hearing is extremely sensitive, and through it 1 can read character in the tones of the voices of men and women around me.
 can also discern character accurate ly in the touch of the hand. I have certain instincts for which I have no exact name, which sometimes make me foresee future events. My senses of touch and smell are excessively del icate.

This Cannot Be Disputed.

A good road is the main artery of traffic. A village whose approaches are accessible and well kept is bound to thrive. A poor road at once brands the country wherein it exists as retro gressive or bankrupt ard not worth traversing.- Sidney Hackes, Melrose, New York City.

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale vet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents. Terms, 5 cash 5 in one year, in two years at 10 per cent interest.

FOUR MEN WOUNDED,
A Dastsrdly Attempt at Murder..-Non.
Union Men Attacked.-.ResultS
Of the Brown Strike.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 14.-One Of the
most dastardly attempts at murder ever
laid at the door of organized labor took
place here tonight it being the outcome
of the great Brown strike that has been
going on in this city for the past three
months. AS a result. four men are
wounded. two of them are liable to die
almost any moment.
On June % the great Brown hosting
and conveying machine company dis
charged its 800 employees because of a
threatened strike. Since that time riot
ing has been the chief pastime of the
strikers and their thousands Of sympa-
thiZers.
About week ago seven companies of
military were withdrawn from the
Brown works and the police protection
taken away. Tonight party of ten
strikers went to the corner of Wade
Park and East Madison street and lay
in wait for q party of workmen who
came by on their way home from the
Brown works. There were nine men in
the little group of workmen with their
dinner pals. Without moments $
warning the strikers rushed from be-
hind saloon where they were in hid
|
ing. and with cry Of "scab'' began
shooting into the crowd. A few of the
workmen were armed and returned the
fire. The battle lasted about three min
utes, in which about thirty shots were
fired, when the strikers fled. Four men
were shot-two fatally. OF the number
two were strikers. George Plumb, one
of the workmen, was shot in the head
| and is expected to die, while Caldwell,
another workman, was shot in the right
| leg and in the shoulder. Plumb was
| taken to a hospital, where he will die.
Two of the strikers were shot. and one
! will die. The one fatally injured is
| George Larson. He was shot through
the lungs. The other, whose name il
Hikley. is not fatally injured. Several
people were hit. but their names could
not be learned. The police made several
arrests among the strikers.
