ST.. LOUIS, Dec. l7-Mr. E. c. Sim.
mons, president OF the wholesale hard
ware Arm which bears his name, had a
narrow escape Wednesday from death,
or at least serious injury, at the hands
OF an infuriated ex-employe Of the
house, who made an attempt to wreak
vengeance on his former employer for
an imaginary injury. The man who
was thirsting for Mr. simmons gore
is Harry Campbell, whose home is in
Cincinnati, but who has been in this
city for several years. Campbell, who
was arrested with pistol, made two
attempts to break into Mr.. Simmons
private office, and the hardware
merchant was only saved from serious
injury by the vigilance Of the clerks
in the outer Office, who disarmed
Campbell and elected him from the
building after violent struggle. Mr..
simmons declined to lodge complaint
against Campbell.

LIKE A BARREL HEAD.
A Unique Theory as to the Shane og tb,

Unique Theory as to the Shape of the
 Earth.
 j. A. Ramage, q district preacher of Sevler county, Tenn, is now engaged Ill Interesting the upper portion of that county ln the mysteries of a new theory as to the end of the world, said Dr.. Echols, president of the Murphy college at Sevierville.
 The theory is that the world is fiat like barrel head. The theorist claims thls IS original with him and the Bible. but history says it was tho starting point of our present orange shaped world. He says the plate of earth re- wolves as it pleases, and is governed solely and completely by it's own sweet will, going hither and coming thither. also vice versa, without regard for tbe burdensome laws of gravity or respect Tor the claims of the solars and other objectionable heavenly bodies.
 Then the theorist goes into details. which will be valuable to the scientific world. He represents the world as be- ing set, flat as it is, upon four props. one at each corner, and the most inter estlng phase of the prop feature is that they are made of locust wood!
 And the theory still further continues with the startling statement that these locust props will some time rot and de- cay, and when they do so the world will fall to some kind of space, striking 1t with dull, siekening thud, and burst into fragments and molecules, atoms and such indiVisible objects of physical matter.
 The seyieryille divine is actually preaching his astounding doctrine, and the upper corner of Sevier county is delvlng deep in the mysteries of the new theory. knoxville Sentinel

 An evangelist known as Syndieate" Wilson is holding a revival at Albany, O., that is stirring up the people in q wonderful way He is splendid speak CT, and his evident sincerity gives great weight to his words.
 Albany has been notorious as a tough place, but it is different now. Every night the Albany Cornet band gives a sacred concert at the church door, and people for miles around go in covered wagons, with a stove in the rear and provisions enough to last several days, and have halleluiah time.
 Every saloon in the village has shut up, and when it Is not too cold the con- gregation marches about the streets, singing songs and shouting, in the old Methodist way There never was such a revival in Ohio.
 Everything is conducted in the most reverential way, and there is nothing that is in the least ridiculous or mirth provoking.
