The few that had tried to carry along
old traditions in unpropitious times, aWak-

ones have started up in convenient loca-
tons. The new demand is somewhat diff

Much has been said of the effect of BIZ

are declared to be drug on the market

Rev. II. L. Hastings of Boston, the

preached an able sermon on the Res

XX:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath
part in the first resurrection; on such

traced the doctrine Of the literal res
direction of the dead through the Old
Testament and the New, showing con-
clusively that the Bible teaches the res
direction of both the righteous and the
wicked, but that there is to be a priority
in the resurrection of the righteous. The
sermon abounded in touching and com
forting words to mourners, and closed
with an earnest appeal to all to choose

Copyright, 1881
It may be doubted whether any form Of
outdoor recreation has ever become more
widely popular or has eXerted a more pow
erful influence than wheeling. Ever since
the first crude form of the wheel, the
eelerifer was invented in 1890 there have
been more or less intense, though general
ly transient craze for the mode Of loco
motion. The early wheels We're so clumsy
and they enabled the wheelman to accom-
plish so little, that they could scarcely be
expected to awaken any great enthusiasm.
Every improvement that was made added
to the sway Of the wheel in popular favor.
The "draislne," dandy horse" and ''hob-
by horse fiourished, Sld they. enjoyed
even the fostering care of royalty. In
deed, these vehicles became so much the
rage that they engaged the attention of
the jokers and cartOonists and were al
most laughed out of existence. From the
beginning of the present century the de-
velopment of the wheel has been fairly
rapid. Every marked Improvement has
been followed by a great awakening of in
tereet. although of the periodical

proved and its line will be the first in
Worcester to be equipped with it. The

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Miles and Miles of Territory on the Ozark
Mountains Being Devasted by Forest
Fires-Heavy Loss

MACosIB, Mo-, Nov. 21.-The largest
and most destructive confagration that
has ever swept the Ozark mountains
since 1884, is now circumscribing this
town for miles and miles, north of and
parallel with the Memphis railroad.
The autumn heavy foliage has rapidly
fallen since frost and are supposed to
have been fred from sparks of freight
engines Sunday afternoon, scope
of country Is miles long is
in flames, miles of fences, orchards,
plantations, farms and dry pasture
fields, stocked with cattle and other
animals, and many old settlers homes
lie directly in the line of the
ravaging monster, while neighbor-
hoods are advancing to the scene, but
find themselves totally unable to
check the flames, their only remedy
is to hurriedly turn out stock ahead
of the flames and desert premises.
The altitude being 1,76O feet above the
sea and a terrible enthusiastically
wind prevailing, great destruction is
imminent. The town of Macomb will
probably be destroyed.

LOCOMOTIVE EXPLODES.
The + rcmen Hurled sevefty Five Feet
and kiiied-Two Tramps Supposed
to he Buried in the Debris.

CONVERSE, o., Nov. 21.-The Chicago
s. Erie road had disastrous wreck
near this city Sunday morning about
o'clock. The wrecked train was the
second section of west bound freight
train No. SO, which was being pulled
by Engine roo. The train was a heavy
one and the engine one OF the big mo-
guls used on the Erie for heavy traffic.
The train was running at the rate
of about 40 miles an hour when the
engine suddenly blew up. The engine
was manned by Engineer Walter
Shirtliff and Fireman David Little.
Conductor Ed Quick and Head Brake
man Frank Smith were also on the
engine, having gone to the front of the
train when it pulled out of Spencer
vile, so as to be ahead when they
reached Ohio City, and thus facilitate
doing the work there. Firman Little
was in the act of throwing in
some coal when the engine let go. He
was hurled about rs feet by the explo-
sion and buried beneath a fiat car,
from which his dead body was after
ward dug out. The big engine was
raised about five feet from the rails,
dropped back on the ties and ran about
rs feet, then rolled over into the ditch.
Engineer Shirtlitf, Conductor Quick
and Brakeman Smith were carried over
with the engine and it was some time
before they got out. Strange to say,
they were not injured very badly, but
it is thought Engineer Shirtlitf, who
complains about his back, may have
been injured internally. About ten
cars were piled up and completely
wrecked, so that the track was blocked
until late Sunday evening, trains being
transferred around the wreck by way
of the c., H. & d. and the Pennsylvania
at Lima to Delphos, then over the
Clover Leaf to Ohio City.
l. Albaugh, of Spencerville, line
walker for the Buckeye Pipe Line Co.,
who was on his way to Elgin, short
distance west of here was riding on
top of the third car from the engine
and escaped with few bruises by
jumping when he saw the engine raise
into the air and felt the cars jerking.
He says there were two tramps riding
on car loaded with stone, the second
car behind the one he was on. A box
car ran up onto the car they were on
and is still wedged there, and they
have not been seen since and are un-
doubtedly killed.
