CURIOUS CONTESTS.

Race of Cr!ppIcs.

Race of Cr!ppics.
Nogeant, the thrifty little town on
the River Marne, in France. seems des-
tined to become famous for the oldest
contests enacted in modern times. says
the New York journal. Not long ago
the public place of the municipality
was the scene of race of cripples, and
a few days later barrel-rolling con-
test was inaugurated. in which some of
the most prominent citizens partici-
pated.
The other day the town was treated
to the unique spectacle of a whipcrack-
ing contest, with about so contestants.
The whips were, in class y. the usual
drivers whips. and in class b the S =
called perpignan, much resembling the
long whips used by the lumbermen in
northern Minnesota and Wisconsin on
their log sleighs.
AT least 80 different kinds of crack
ing sounds can be made by these whips
in the hands Of an expert. and the
prizes were distributed to those who
produced the most of these sounds in
rapid succession. The judges laid con-
siderable emphasis in this odd con-
test on the kind of cruckings which
would stir horse most without injur-
ing him. In conclusion. all the drivers
cracked their whips in chorus. which
had the effect of ear-deafenng can
nonade.
A driver by the name of Lermission
received the first prize. This man can

More New Boats.

Referring to the new sidewheel boat
to be built here by the Muskingum
River Transportation Company, the
Wheeling Register adds the following;
The same company will also erect a
mammoth warehouse at GAINESVILLE and
the contract will be let for it shortly
The Muskingum River Company has in
contemplation the building of n big
sidewheel steamer for the Pittsburg
and Louisville trade, and Captain Scott
says ii it is decided to place such a
steamer in the trade the building Of
the Muskiugum river packet will not
interfere with the carrying cut OF this
plan.
New boats are iu course of erection
at many places. and it shows that the
river trade is not dying out by any
means. The Pittsburg, Brownsville
and Morgantown packet line has ar
ranged to build big sidewheel steam
er and may let tHe contract for another
next spring. Bay Bros. are building a
new packet, which will soon be ready
to launch. and Captain Gordon Green
is talking of building a new packet.
This trade only tends to show that
good times are coming for the river
men, and that they expect to share in
the return of prosperity which is al
ready being felt by them.

OF LOC1E INTEREST.

Although the fire commissioners have retired ex-Superintendent of Fire Alarm Telegraph w. c. Smith upon a pension of s750 year, he cannot receive it un- der the present vote and he must be re- examined before the board can know whether he is eligible to come under the provisions of the pension law. This is in accordance with the opinion of the corporation counsel, which was render ed yesterday on the subject. The nav or had doubt whether the pension could be paid under the new charter, and so referred the matter to the cor poration counsel. The new charter says no member of the police or fire department can be pensioned unless he is disabled in the discharge of his du- ties. MT. Smith is still at his cottage at Woodmont very feeble in health.

RICHARD cRoKER's ARRIVAL.

The Real Boss of Tammany Again on
 American Soil-Very Few Greet Him
 Thinks Tammany is All Right. Richard Crol1er arrived in New York yesterday morning on the steamship New York from Southampton. The boat anchored in Gravesend Bay at o'clock yesterday morning, and at 6 o'clock reached Quarantine. Two hours later MT. Croker was in the city. His Tammany followers did not expect that he would reach New York before noon; so he was greeted at the dock by only two or three personal friends, who had been notified early in the morning that the New York was at Quarantine. Up at Tammany Hall a crowd gath cred at o'clock, prepared to go to the dock to welcome the real head of the organization. They were much disap- pointed when they learned that he had reached the city one hour previous. 1 MT. Croker was not inclined to talk politics when he was questioned by the reporters He said this much, how ever:
 q have not the slightest doubt that Tammany Hall will carry the greater city by 50,000 votes and upward. New York never had one reform administra- tion after another. One such govern ment appears to be all the people can stand in one decade. The present so- called reform administration has been | lnI,i iafy f0y itc iy,nr nf a rate, accompanied by a higher ap- praisement If there has been any cor responding improvement in the quality of the government the people have not discovered it."
 Then you think the people are again ready to intrust the reins of govern ment to Tammany Hall?''
 Yes. And why should they not be? Tammany Hall always kept the taxes down. It managed the government honestly and economically. That was because Tammany is a practical, not a theoretical body. We are workers, not dreamers. Tammany believes and I believe in the widest personal liberty consistent with good order and govern ment. Some people think Tammany is bad very bad; but, as rule, they are people who live al distance and who trust to hearsay. New Workers know better. They know that if Tammany l were the corrupt, degraded, horrible monster some people try to make it out, 1t would have been throttled long ago. No such wicked men as we have been pictured could live and maintain their influence year after year in New York or any other free American city"

TIDAL WAVE COMING.

So Says a Weather Sharp in Westerly
 Sun.
 A weather sharp writes to the West erly Sun the following September pre- dctions:
 From the 10th to the 18th there will be an intermediate disturbance, in the at mosphere. not of long duration; may be very severe for a few hours After which we shall pass into an enioya ble atmosphere. possibly a little warmer than some constitutions can enjoy.
 The line storm theory must give way to modern reasoning from meteoro logical point of view. The old theory that the sun, when crossing the imagi- nary line, produces a great disturbance in the atmosphere of the earth is incor- rect
 There will be a local disturbance of little account, which will take place from the 17th to the 18th of the present month The writer is willing to stake the science of meterology on the fol- lowing forecast: There will not be a great disturbance of the atmosphere on the 22d day of September of the present year, while the sun is crossing the equator line. There can only be a very great disturbance of the atmos- phere when the planets which surround the earth are in positions whereby the central force of the earth shall be ope- rated up by such surroundings.
 There will be a great disturbance to take place from the 24th to the 27th. The planets will occupy positions in their orbits which will produce a tidal wave that will probably reach the New England coast. Sometimes the wave takes place off on the broad ocean. When that is the case it may not be much felt on the coast. From the 22d day of the present month to the date when the storm should take place the sun will change in position by moving about 800, 900 miles. Venus will have moved about 2,000,0O0 miles, The moon will pass on the line of it's orbit about SC. 900 miles, The earth in the same time 16O0,00O miles. The planet Mars will change it's position 1850, 900 miles. Tidal waves and earthquakes are in order. Mariners at seaport towns should be on the lookout. Such a dis turbance is very likely to be destruc- tive of life and property All hands on deck, batten down the matches, secure the side lights. close reef the sails, be prepared to clew up and settle away. A word to the wise, etc.

 Yesterday Morning.
 Somerset, Pa, Sept. 7.-President and Mrs. Mckinley and party arrived here from Canton in a special carat o'clock this morning and will pass the week at the summer residence of the presidents brother Abner Mckinley. A reception committee of twenty prominent citizens met the distinguished visitors at the station and escorted them over the principal streets of the town to the Nc Kinley home.
 MT. Abner Mckinley thinks he can prevail upon President and Mrs Me- Kinley to remain over Sunday, and it is probable a public demonstration will be arranged for by the citizens of the town, but nothing in this direction will be done until the president has been consulted.

Helene Mora continued yesterday the excellent success she made on Monday at Polls Wonderland theater. The charming singer, whose personality is as pleasing as her singing is accom- plished, has completely captured the hearts of her audiences, and on all sides she is compared to the great star artists that Manager Poli played at his house last season. Miss Mora will un- doubtedly prove a profitable attraction for MT. Poli as we'll as one who will win golden encomiums for his enterprise. The supporting company too. continues to please.
