HAS FIRE ESCAPES.

The City Hotel is now supplied with
two fire escapes, having been completed
yesterday. They are made of two inch
gas pipe, with cross pieces of smaller
pipe, and fill the bill very nicely, at the
same time not being very expensive.
One is at the end of each hallway, and
the guests will sleep more securely.
What is the matter with the owners
of other three and four story buildings
complying with the law regarding fire
escapes?

COuldn't Helm Her.

Alice Rhodes, six and II half year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Rhodes, of Ayr township, was hurt at
Rockhill school while at play about
two years ago. In running she fell
and larger girl fell on her, injuring
.Alice's back. From this accident,
spinal paralysis followed, the child
lost the use of her limbs, and about a
year ago, she became blind.
About IA month ago, the father, ac-
companied 10y DR.. Smith of this place,
took the child to the University of
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia for
treatment. Last week Mr.. Rhodes was
notified to come down and get his
daughter, which he did, arriving home
with her last Friday. He was inform
ed at the University that nothing could
be done for her now; but that she may
become all right as she grows older.

1.-THE BOTTOM FELL OUT"
A Wound Oh the Face Of Ma
turG that is Broader than
q Gate and Deeper
than q Well.
A new GATEWAY TO THE CELESTIAL
EMPIRE.

Within the limit Of the present +
century about to close, Joseph
Thomas, now Postmaster { eneral
of McConnellsburg, was Major
Domo Of affairs in MIR. Parlsor's
homeatBig CoveTannery. Among
his duties, besides being con
stable of Ayr township in imag-
ination if not by the all powerful
voice of the American people clus-
tered in that cnterprislng town
ship-Was to make the kitchen
fires. 1t may seem s5range to
peopleoutside ofFulton that Post
masters General made kitchen
fires, but Kings of England have
turned spits and some have been
badly roasted. One morning, at
early dawn, Joseph attempted TO
increase the caloric by pouring
kerosene on the dying Goals of the
cook stove. Shortly after, Joe
emerged from the blazing kitchen,
with wool siuged to the skull, and
announced TO the interested
crowd, as he held the smoking
can aloft, "The bottom $ out.
He referred to the can. History
repeatsitSelf. The events of yes
terday yearsagO paralleled
to-day. On the Isaac Hull place,
Il short distance from town, To-
Gated on the Mercersburg turn
| pike known as Jack Snyder's, is
what is generally known as a
"siuk hole. " Into it's yawning
depths have been dumped innum-
cradle loads of stone, until at last
its capacity seemed to be reach
ed, and by the addition Of Il few
more loads it assumed the pro-
portions Of u stone heap Rab-
bits made it their favorite lair,
and by their ferociousroar fright
ened away the town boys with
their dogs and guns. This was
the state of affairs up until Mon
day morning last, when James
Youse, accompanied by his son
William, came sailing down the
pike behind their nimble footed
pair of mules. "What is wrong
there?" exclaimed the father, as
he pointed in the direction of
what was Il stone heap, put now
Il miniature lake. William de-
scended, approached cautiously,
and made soundings with a fence
rail. The fence rail disappeared
and William withdrew, affirming
most positively that he would
never haul stone from there.
Robert Cutchall estimates the
depth, to the last load of stone,
at a hundred feet, and others are
not so conservative. One old cit
izen declares that during Il dry
spell he applied his ear to the or
ifice and heard the chickens crow
ing in China. What are the posS-
Utilities of this apparent opening
to the Chinese Empire, when the
water recedes? TO take the
most pessimistic view of it, we
can see, in our mental vision, the
glittering stalactites and stalag
mites of ~ Luray Cavern on a
Mammoth Cave, that will be re-
vealed to us by an adventurous
spirit bent on discovery one that
will do and dare-the McCon-
nellsburg boy. In any event it
will be a blessing Even if Il bot
tomless pit we have stone enough
along the mountain TO ill it, or
we can use it for carp pond for
the feeding Of the nations.
