YESTERDAYS GALES.
Eject on Electric Light Wires Leaves tn
Town in Darkness.

Town in Darkness.
The furious gales that prevailed yesterday
and last night caused great anxiety in the
town. The greatest fear was that fire might
start in some part Of the town and be swept
broadcast by the powerful blasts, and the
anxiety was increased when the town was
left in darkness at night by the blowing
down of wires. Fortunately there were no
fires and the damage was limited to a cutting
off of the street electric lights and some on
the incandescent service.
The linemen in the employ of the light
companies were kept busy to-day locating
and repairing breaks, There were ten on the
street line service and not so many on the
incandescent service. The fire alarm and
telegraph wires withstood the gales.

Reception at the M. e. Parsonage.

The reception given by Mr.. and Mrs,
Rev. w. M. Dudley at the new Metho-
dist church parsonage yesterday after
noon and evening, was very pleasant
social event. The good fellowship and
cordial greetings that always make
strong and pleasant feature of a Metho-
dist gathering, was not wanting on this
occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Dudley are
good entertainers and the large number
who called in the afternoon and evening
went away feeling that they had not
gone through mere form but that it
was genuine pleasure to ali parties
concerned. The new parsonage is very
nicely appointed and makes a very beau
tiful home over which Mrs. Dudley
presides with grace and simplicity
that makes her many admirers and
friends-a genuine Methodist grace and
simplicity that is born of true woman
hood and cultured mind. The home
was handsomely decorated with flowers
and plants and light refreshments were
served. Mr.. and Mrs. Dudley have be-
come very popular in Atlantic and the
reception last evening was marked by
the great number who attended that are
not connected with the church.-Atlan'

men of the south. On Tuesday, Deem
Der 9th, DIR. VIM. III. Weaver, of Balti-
more, will give a free lecture in the
Presbyterian church. DR.. Weaver is

Death of Thomas Walker.

Thomas Walker, who has fingered be-
tween life and death for the past few
weeks, quietly passed away Tuesday
evening. Last winter he WAS taken with
bronchial trouble and had to leave his
work in the Treasurer's Office. When
warm weather came he occasionally rode
out, but could not regain strength. He
gradually fell away in flesh and the tide
of life ebbed away so little at time that
it was long while that it was hardly
known whether he was growing stronger
or weaker. For the last several days he
had taken no nourishment. Death came
gently Tuesday evening at about 5
o'clock
Mr.. Walker was born in Eng.a and
seventy-four years ago. In 1850, or
when he was twenty-six years of age, he
came to this country, stopping in New
Jersey year or two. He then came on
to Laport, Ind He came on out to this
state in 1866 or 1866, coming to Oakfeld,
this county There he worked for w. l..
Brown helping with stock for several
years. In about 1874 he was elected
County Clerk, but because the pay
was so small he soon resigned. A few
years afterwards he was elected Auditor
and held that office number of years.
Since then he has served as deputy
auditor, deputy clerk and deputy
treasurer, being deputy treasurer under
Treasurer Phelps at the time of his last
sickness. For the past fifteen years he
has been secretary of the school board
resigning few months ago. He had
Leen township clerk for nearly as many
years and held that office at the time of
his death. He was assessor of Audubon
for many years.
While yet at Oakfeld about twenty
two years ago he vas married to Miss
Helena Delahoyde who survives him.
He belonged to the Odd Fellow lodge at
Oakfield and to the Masonic lodge here
being Master Mason, was Royal Arch
Mason and Knight Templar.
Deceased was loving husband and a
kind man. He possessed the virtues
that make lasting friendships. He was
thoroughly trusted by his fellow citizens
who knew his ability and integrity as
shown by the places to which they
elected him. His long service at the
co lrt house had made him an authority
there. The town and the county have
lost one of their most honored and best
loved citizens.
The funeral services will be at 2 D. m.
today at the Presbyterian church. The
Knights Templar will have charge of
the ceremonies.

AN OCEAN TROLLEY LINE. An
ocean trolley line, which reaches
nearly quarter Of mile over the
sea, conveying either passengers
or merchandise, is one OF the cur
ious sights to be seen at Bear har.
Dor, on the Pacific coast, not far
from San Francisco. While the
ostensible object OF this strange
trolley is the carrying Of lumber
from the rocky highland aboard
the big schooners, which form the
ocean terminus OF the line, dozens
OF lumbermen ride in a basket at
tached to the suspended cable on
a wheel.
OF course there is no electricity
used in connection with this novel
trolley. The power OF gravity does
most Of the hard work. The luIr-
Der schooners come from the Men
docino county ports. Until year
ago they were loaded by the slow
process of lighters plying to and
from the wharfs. By the new troll
ley system lumber in any quantity
can be carried from any island
point over a long and high railroad
bridge to a sort of cage, where the
wooden cargoes are stacked, and
thence to the deck Of each ship,
The trolley line is thrown from the
lumber cage to the vessels by
means ofa rope shot from a mortar,
Behind the rope trails the wire,
which is quickly and securely at
tached to the vessels mast, after
which the ocean trolley is ready
for business. .ssS

"Hello there" was the reply.
"Well?" said WILDLY.
"You are one seventy-six instead of
one seventy-tive, aren't you?"
"Yes. Did l say one seventy-five? l
meant one seventy-six."
GAIL right; there you are, Mr.. Wild

"Whidby!" thought the young man.

81 understand. Good-by."
"Good-by."
The young man turned and walked
round the bed for another look at
Strong's face. Surely, he thought, that
weird smile and the twinkle in the dead
mans eyes were the most remarkable
things ever connected with a murder
case. He could not bear to look at the
face. so he went into his own room. He
wondered what had caused him to over
sleep. He went to his bed and smelt
the pillows to see if he could detect
traces of chloroform. He had decided
that he could not have been drugged
when the bell of passing car caught
his ear. He knew that the car had
stopped in front Of the house by the
whirring, chromatic sound as it start
ed on again. Then he heard steps on
the veranda and went to the door.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1898-02-12

A man by the name Of Harbridge died
at Glen Cove, Me-, few days ago. He
didn't know how old he was, where he
was born, or who his parents were. His
earliest recollection was Of living with
tribe of Rocky mountain Indians, who
probably stole him. They treated him
kindly and brought him up to their
savage ways of life with their own chill
dren. They never told him anything
about his parents. When a young man
he left the tribe, which made no oppo-
sition. He readily acquired the Gus
toms OF civilization. and apparently his
early savage training left little impress
sion on his mind, and none on his habits
in his later years. He turned his hands
to many things to make living. and
finally came east and took up fishing
as means of livelihood.
