a MAINE MIRACLE
A Building whose Progress was Di-
recfed From on High.

Durham, Me, Aug. 1S.-The annual
camp meeting held in connection with
Evangelist Sandfords bible school,
which began AuguSs IL, will continue
until next week, when the great build
ing now being erected will be dedi-
Gated.
Mr. Sandford says a miracle has
been performed upon Shiloh Hill. In
a little over twenty days, the compile
tion Of the bible building has made it
necessary to build an extension over
16O feet long and five <oories high In
an incredibly short space of time Sand
fo-d, with his disciples, many OF
whom are unused to hard labor, re-
moved the earth for a dspth of ten
feet from a space 160x50 feet in size
A very short time ago, when Sand
ford says the Lord told him the 18Th
inst must see the building completed,
Sandford went to the saw nall of Law
renee Bros. at South Gardiner and
told the managers what he wanted IN
the way c!. lumber. They told him
that, on account of other orders on
hand, they could not do the work.
Sandford told them ne brought
message from Gcd that they must do
it, ana in some way other orders were
deferred, and for fifteen days this
large mill has been woI king exclusive
ly on lumber intended for this big
bible school building. The last ca
load arrived here on the 18th.
Mr.. Sandford said today that mes
sage had been given him that by the
18th the mammoth gates of praise,
which are forty feet by six inches in
height, and tower above the five-story
temple, mus be finished, and the last
touch was put on today.
The strangest occurrence of ali
came in the person of one man who
arrived here the past week Months
ago, when the first building called the
temple was just begun, a long-legged
Georgian came up the steep hill, and,
approaching Mr. Sandford, said tha's
he was desirous of being baptized, but
not of subscribing to any creed or
standard Clt churches; that he wished
to cast his lot with Mr.. SandfOrd. This
he did, and, being an expert mason,
rendered valuable services on the
modest building then being erected.
Last week .shis sane man appeared,
just when the work was going on
hardest, having come, as he said, N
obedience to the voice of God, from
the far west, to help Mr.. Sandford,
who, he was told lDy God, was in trou-
bic and needed him.

Minute Last Night.

priscd Than the Nan who Put
Him There.

self said before entering the ring thu
he was going into the ring to do his
best and let it go at that. The night
was short and so quickly over tina:
there was almost nothing to it but the
punch that put Mccoy to sleep.
The fight was under strict Queens
berry rules Hitting with one arm
free was permitted. When the gong
sounded Mccormack started in to rush
things, depending on his greater
weight and superior strength to offset
McCoyss science. He received i
straight left in the mouth the first
time he t1ied it and a second later
savage left hook on the side of the
head stopped him the second time.
Then he rushed twice more, carrying
Mccoy to the ropes both times.
The first time he hit Mccoy over
the kidneys with his rlgnt- The Sec-
ond time, as they came from the ropes
still clinched, Mccoy freed his left and
sent a hook to McCormack's cheek,
dropping him TO the floor. Mccormack
lay on the mat making pretense CT
claiming a foul. Mccormack rose
upon the order of the reseree The
knock-down had not injured him in
the slightest
The men squared off once more and
then came the end like lightning fom
a clear sky. Mccoy was moving eau
tiously around Mccormack, 5otl
hands low, ne.her beng as high as
the belt Mccormack suddenly let ty
his right and it landed full on the jaw.
Mccoy went down like a dead man,
flt on his back, his legs and arms cut
stretched, his face pointing square
ly ct the ceiling It was evident he
ins:ant he struck the floor that his
fighting was over, for the night at
least. 1t was thirty seconds before he
came to. H5 took his defeat n
