In. this Dr. Hardness, who went to
Auburn yesterday to get a clear view
tonight, thinks Mr. Richmond is mis-
taken, and that he saw only what APP
peared to be reality, but was not. But
it is true, he says. that in 1888 at
many points the observers saw great
numbers of fire balls, and some of
them of great size in the heavens.
It is recorded in scientific works that
in the shower of 1888 the most mag
nificent ever seen, there were many ap-
parent phosphorescent effects, and
showers of small fire balls, while at
one point of observation some of the
larger meteors appeared as fire balls,
stationary for time, from which were
emitted streams of light. Some of these
luminous bodies left trails of light
after them which lasted as long as
half an hour.

A BRAKEMAN'S DEATH.
Harry p. Riegert Fatally Injured
at Blue Canyon.

At Blue Canyon on Monday night,
Brakeman Harry P. Reigert received
injuries which resulted in his death a
couple of hours later.
The unfortunate man was one of the
crew of freight train No. 21O, east
bound, and while attending to switch
ing at Blue. Canyon was riding on the
pilot of the engine. In some manner
unknown he slipped and fell on one Of
the rails. One leg was frightfully
crushed and the other was badly
bruised. He was Immediately placed
on a special train and started for this
city, but expired before reaching Au-
burn.
Reigert had been in the employ Of the
Southern Pacific Company for few
months only. He was by trade a
butcher, and was formerly employed by
Schmidt & Parker of this city. He
was single, and SO far as known had no
relatives in this State. The remains
will be taken in charge by the Butch
ers' Protective Association, of which
the deceased was a member.

THERE ARE OTHERS.
Men Who Witnessed the Meteoric
Display in the Year 1888.

The belief was that not another than
DR.. Hardness is living in this State
who saw the meteoric shower of 1888
There are plenty of people living who
had then reached years enabling them
to comprehend the splendors of that
magnificent spectacle, but it was not
supposed that more than one or two
of our own people had been favored
by being up at the hour of night when
the showers began.
DR.. Hardness was a boy of II years.
and, as yesterday stated, was for
tunate in seeing the beginning of the
shower which no other person in the
New England States saw for its entire
period. 1t is now ascertained that
Samuel Robinson, Ticket Clerk at the
depot, saw the shower of 1888, beins
then a boy of 6 years. He, too was
fortunate in seeing it shortly after it's
beginning, and watched it with his
parents until day interposed. With
Dr. Hardness he declares that it was
the sight of a lifetime, terribly sub
lime. and made such an impression up
on his memory that it is as distinct to-
day in recollection as it was the day
after. At the time his home was in
Ohio.
