A Great Big Ball of Fire.

New Martinsburg, O., March 10
A meteor burst over this town at $50
o'clock Tuesday morning. The noise
of the explosion resembled the shock
Of a heavy artillery salute, and was
heard and felt for distance Of twenty
miles in all directions
The cyhndrical-shaped ball Of fire
was forging along at a fearful rate in
southwesterly direction when first
discovered. 1t dropped from distance
of two hundred feet above the earth to
an altitude of forty feet before it burst.
The kissing sound Of the fire as it tore
along could be heard for miles, and the
smoke issuing from three sides gave
! the meteor the appearance Of a burn
ing balloon. The inhabitants were ter
ror stricken, and many fell on their
knees in ardent prayer, thinking the
end had come.
When the meteor exploded the pieces
flew in all directions, like a volcanic
upheaval, and solid walls were pierced
by the fragments. Windows were
broken and dishes shaken from pantry
shelves by the tremendous shock.
David Leisure was knocked down by
the force of the air caused by the ra-
pidity with which the body passed be-
fore it broke. The blow, together with
the sulphurous atmosphere which per-
vaded everything, rendered him un-
conscious, and it was with difficulty
that he was resuscitated. One of bis
horses had its head crushed and nearly
torn from the trunk by a fragment OF
the meteor, and another horse in the
next stall was trembling in fear and
afterward discovered to be stone deaf,
probably caused by the noise of the
explosion. The piece of meteor which
killed the first horse came through the
side of the barn, and was about the
size of teapot The other pieces Of
the freball pierced this barn, break
ing and burning the boards.
The coming of the meteor was her
aided by rumbling noise, followed IN
an instant by the Kissing sound, and
Immediately the ball Of FIRE, splitting
and smoking like thing of hades,
burst into full view, and before the
people had time to collect their senses
the explosion occurred.

Armenians as Moonshiners.

Front Royal, Va, March 6.-The
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
has been imposed on by man who
lives in the mountains near this city.
He learned that the union had a num-
Der of Armenians for whom it desired
to find work, and wrote the Boston
office requesting that three men be
sent to him-that he would pay them
$40 a month, board and lodge, and
furnish them clothing.
Massachusetts, branch Of the W. c..
T. T., which had taken fifty Of the Ar
menians who arrived at New York
destitute, sent the three promptly,
paying their fare. Letters were re-
ceived from them, or purporting to
be from them, saying they were con-
tented. In a little while the man
wrote for five more. This seems to
have been regarded with suspicion, as,
while the five were sent, an official ac-
companied them to investigate.
As soon as the newcomers bad
Joined their countrymen in the noun

found that their employer was moon
shine" and made "pretty good whis-
key He at once visited the men and
told them they must leave. They,
however, were not inclined to do so.
They were perfectly satisfed-had
nothing to do, except to drink, as
they "were going to Cuba. One
thing, though, they did not quite I'M
derstand. The first three had re-
ceived their wages for a months work,
but had been unable to buy anything,
as the storekeepers refused to accept
the money. The official examined the
money" and found it consisted of
three $40 Confederate bills-one for
each man. One of the Armenians ran
away, but the other seven were taken
back to Boston Washington Post.

FRANCIS WILSON WILL GO ALONE
Unsatisfac tory Dates Fixed for Him
by the Theatrical Trust.

MILWAUKEE,, March 11-Francis
Wilson and the so-called theatrical
trust" have had a falling out. AS a
consequence, Wilson will book his own
route next season outside of the trust
theaters.
He had made arrangements with the
trust for the season of 1898, whereby
its managers took him and his com
pany for a certain number of nights,
and then booked him for the various
cities as they saw fit. In other words,
they furnished the theaters and the
dates and Wilson the company.
Wilson did not like the Baltimore
and Washington bookings, as he was
booked at opposition theaters to those
at which he had formerly played. He
objected to this, and in return the trust
put him out of Philadelphia. He then
withdrew from his contract and an
nCUnced his intention of going it alone.
When seen tonight Mr. Wilson said
he now proposes to book his route in
dependently. 1t is admitted in theatre
cal circles that it is doubtful whether
he is strong enough to win against the
trust, but Wilson says if he cannot
he is in a position to retire.
1t is said this action on the part Of
Wilson may lead to other outbreaks
against the trust by leading actors.

BALTIMORE CLIPPERS.
Adventure of One of These Vessels
With Pirate Grant.

The speed of the Baltimore clippers in days
gone by made history resound with their ex-
ploits. Every boy and girl has read at some
time place of the piratical long, low, rak-
ish-looking schooners that cruised the ocean
ostens:bly as privateers, but chiefly as pirates,
in those days and have marveled more or less
at their astounding adventures. A good story
is told of the late Capt. Augustine Heard.
that while in command of a fine ship richly
laden. bound from China to New York he
was overhaUled by one of this kind which
came up under his lee. fired shot into his
ship, and demanded in good English that
she should be hove to. Capt Heard watched
a favorable opportunity, squared his yards,
ran the privateer down, passed over her be-
tween the masts. and when to leeward
brought his ship to the wind and resumed his
course. She had lost some Of ner head gear,
but sustained no damage to her hull. Capt.
Heard left the long. low, black privateer :"
pirate, to her fate, and had no doubt that
all her crew persisted.
1t was dangerous thing to do, but Heard
relied upon the good timber in his ships
bows to withstand the shock. although his
heart grew sad at the loss of life. STILL as he
put 1t: MY honor and life were at stake SO
he had to go under. '-Harper's Round Table
