LEV. COPELAND LOSES
HIS LIFE AT TIE EAGLE
DAM.

Last Thursday evening about half
past seven o'clock, the two Englestead
bows came up from the dam with the
startling announcement, ''Mr. Cope
land is drowned' .'Mr. Copeland fell
over the dam and is drownedH In a
moment hundreds Ct people, men,
women and children. were hurrying
towards the dam about g mile west OF
town. Upon arriving there they found
the report only too true.
Mr.. Copeland has had charge OF
the dam since early in tho spring.
That afternoon lie received g telegram
to open the gates ard let the T-ator
out. Shortly alter six he won't down
there for that purpose. rs he was &C
inc down he saw NJ. j. Conlfn On the
street and asked him 20 accompany
him. AS they passed cle Eaglcst9ad
place the two boys ca1a9 oo5 ana loi-
lowed theln down.
Upon reaching the dam NTr. Cope
land changed his clothes and weGt 1t
to raise lie za.es. lie had raised osle
and went GU 10 a--otneS. SclctAing
was the matter VIA this aid AI.
COPELAND took Oh a%e ;sad Wont down
into the fumt. Tho two boys stood On
the top directly over him and they
said that he struck q plank n The gate
and that It broke letting tho whole
force OF the wator Gown on to HIM.
One end CT the plank struck him on
the legs knocking his feet out from IN
der him and he was carried head first
into the boiling current. The boys
gave the alarm and Mr.. Conlin, who
had been unable to see the accident
from where he was, ran down on to
some logs and tried to push one out to
him but was unsuccessful.
Mr.. Codeland could be seen as he
was being whirled along by the rapid
current for two or three hundred feet
when he sank and was seen no more.
He was an expert swimmer and he
must have been injured by the force of
the water when he was knocked off his
feet or he could have got out as the
current carried him quite close to The
shore.
AS soon as the people began to ar
rive atthe dam, searching parties were
formed and 4 search was begun for his
body. When it became too dark to see
lights were procured and the search
was continued until late at night and
until it became necessary to open the
dam to keep it from being washed out.
Early in the morning the dam was
again closed aud the search resumed.
1t was continued until the middle OF
the forenoon when the body was found
and brought 70 the village.
A coroner : inquest was held and a
verdict rendered ii accordance with
the above facts.
The funeral services We're held at
the Congregational church, Sunday af-
ternoon, Rev. II. c, Todd, officiating.
The church was tastefully decorated
with flowers, and the funeral cortege,
which followed the remains tothe GEM
etery. was one of the largest ever seen
in this place.
Mr.. Copeland was fifty-tive years Of
age and had resided in this village for
the past nine or ten years and was mi
yersally liked.

mored vessels of the first class, and would be practicable even with one as big as the Great Eastern.
 The hull Of the jointed war ship is built in three independent sections. each of which is divided into numerous y9ater-tight compartments where the sections adjoin. Built Into the hull are strong, water-tight, vertical, cylindrical sections, each with a hollow, vertical central pivot. forming immense hinges which are turned by the engine by means of beyel spingears, and the yer iical shaft of clutch made to cause the fore and aft sections 10 turn simul- taneously in opposite directions.
 Hence the man at the wheel, with as much ease as that with which he would manipulate the comparatively crude steering gear at present employed, can use the forward and after sections Of the vessel as double ruddefs, and make the seemingly cumbersome warship dart of almost at right angles to it's course with the speed and ease of an educated whale Or. if he merely de- SHES bD rkO4 SAtC44s 4ss- sei&-s sf4s-4HA~ t4-N trouble of reversing the engines, senI the ship spinning in q circle whose di- ameter will be less than the vessels length.
 The hull of the center section is re cessed fore md aft. and the segment of a circle is secured in the adjoining end Of each Of the other sections. These seglnents slide into the recesses and serve to keep the water out Of the spaces between the huIls. They also destroy the normal headway of the vessel, and turn it in the desired direction. Th& decks and bottoms Of the three sectors are protected at the points of junction by plates which slide oyer one another and also assist in closing the interyen- ing spaces.

IApD3tlSiN, ie5f.I
 The biggest boy for his age in the whole world lives ut Oxford, Warren county. x. J. His name is Edward seharrer, he is l5 yeaes old, and lis height is already feet 21s inches with out his shoes. If he should keep OH growing at tie ordinary rate from now until he is 20 years old he would then be over seven feet in height. He him. self believes that when he reaches that age he will stand fully seven feet four inches.
 1t is usually the case when phenom- enal growth takes place in childhood that the subject is physically weak ling. The tremendous strain upon the vitality resulting from such unusual growth generally enfeebles the entire system; it amounts to disease, and is so regarded by physicians.
 Scharrer, however. has never seen a sick day in all his 16 years. He is as strong aud healthy as young animal, and has an appetite commensurate 10 his size. Just at present he weighs 180 pounds, and is gaining at the rate of about pound week. He is not al all ill-proportioned, and it is only in the boyishness of his face that Lis lack of years is noticeable. He has the stride and carriage usual in a man at the age at which such height and weight are not extraordinary.
 This phenomenon in the way of growth is the youngest of a family of eight children. Every one of his brothers and sisters are of good height, perfectly formed, bright and healthy. None of them have developed any

 Well, when 1 came up on the front steps I did 1t powerful quiet, and just as easy l slipped my night key in the door and turned it 1 pushed tie door open on the same easy terms, when to my everlasting astonishment q bell in the back yard began to bang, bang, bang, like terrific fire alarm. Of course, didn't know what if was, and chased back aft to find out, never hav- ing heard bell in that neighbcrhood before, and then when 1 opened the kitchen door the church Lell, whose back yard and ours fronted, went off with q elang, clang. and then both bells seemed to be loaded full of devils all trying to get out at once, and when tried 10 get back into my house tIle kitchen door was locked, and l was caught in q trap.
 With all that racket going on, it didn't take long to bring half the town dcwn on me, and 1 was found in my own back yard unable to get out and unable to explain what I vas doing there or why was there. Some of my dear. good neighborg, who seemed to smell a mice. said they would go in and find my wife, as she had not showed up; but they couldn't find her; nor could tell them where she was, because had left her at home when 1 vent down town, after dinner"
 Had she eloped ?' inquired the Posey county man.
 Not mueh,'' responded the other Hoosier, respectfully. ssShe had merely put job up on me. and gone out in the suburbs to stay all night with an aunt of hers, while I stood the brunt of it. You see, she put q lot of electric wires in there and connected them with the ] doors, and a bell she had set ,ip in the back yard. Then she ran them, or one of them, on over to the church, where she was organist and could get in and out as she pleased, and fixed it to make striker on the church bell As I saI1. she vas scientific, and the way she played it on me was one of the finesf scientific displays I have ever witnessed, ard. by gray. if # happens again scxne- thing else is going to happen

 For France is doing things she would have shud5lered at year or two ago. And not in eolors only. French novel, lsts are expressing their grief in French newspapers over Parisians who wear fortunes in big diamonds with tailor gowns. That began with tba scramble to show all ones possessions on all occasions before the tzar. I have not seen any such lamentable lapses. but l have noticed another thing over which outcry is beginning to arise. perfumes are used to suffeeation. and as If abuse of the more delicate odors was not enough, theaters, concert halls and churches are redolent of musk.

The aforementioned moralists attribute it's use to the 'sRouYeaux arrives" but by such reckoning there must have been a deal of jumping of the hedge of the charmed circle very recently. At any rate, French women of all classes are taking to perflmed gloves, which were about the only articles of dress left to add scent 10. But enough of Jeremiads. France Is queen of fashion still. though she may be pulling down the walls of her palace, and so let us return to clothes as they are worn.
 Here are | few of the best of the  promenade dresses have seen in Nice: Ayeivet costume of bishops purple with q broad edge of chinchilla at the hem. For the bodice, bolero Of the velvet edged with a soft lace of cream color Terging 10 gray. Cascades of a similar lace fell over the bodice from the shouI- ders. The bolero opened upon vest of grayish mousseline de soie laid iIl fine Piaits and having dainty lace col lar. The sleeves had small puffs of the purple velvet at the shoulders. Below the puffs close wrinkled sleeves of gray velvet came To the wrists and ended in lace ruehes. There was a folded belt of gray velvet and broad hat of gray vel Vet With black plumes.

The senior officers mess will be par titioned by water-tight compartments from that of the junior officers mess amidship. while the younger gentlemen will be similarly isolated. The captain, as he sits in gloomy grandeur in his sol itary dning-room, will have the satis- faction of knowing that no one below the rank of lieutenant sleeps in his sec ton of the vessel.
