Novel System of Electric Canal Towage.

According to the London Electrical
Review one of the most novel sys-
TENS of electrical canal towage chat
has yet been tried is meeting with
such great success that the line is to
be extended some fifty miles. Small
track tricycles, equipped with six
horsepower motors. run along a
French tow-path, taking their current
from an overhead wire. These are
sufficiently powerful to draw a 800
ton boat at a speed of 1.5 miles an
hour. While the system is not cheaper
than animal haulage, yet the speed Is
greater and the service very regular.
There are two generating plants, each
of 200 horsepower. one at each end
Of the line.

STORM In PERRY COUNTY.

The fine bank barn of Eugene
ShOwaker, about four miles west of
, Bloomfield, Perry county, was com
pletely demolished by wind storm
on the Sth day of July. Mr.. ShO-
walkers house was greatly damag-
ed by the same storm. The storm
of wind lasted only about three
minIteS.
The barn was "a complete wreck
to the first floor, The building was
crushed to pieces and the debris
carried and scattered over acres.
Big timbers were snapped like pipe
stems The staunch wagon shed
was served likewise, and it's fall
crushed a new buggy, new road
wagon, express wagon, top buggy,
farm cart, new Osborne binder, be-
sides plOws, etc, in another build
ing was also damaged a new phae-
ton. Several small buildings were
moved off their foundations.
Abram Kell's escape was mira
culOus. Seeing the storm coming,
he drove his horse and buggy un-
der ShOwaker's wagon shed, and
was about unhitched when the ter
rible crash came. His spirited
horse, at this instant, leaped for
ward under the overshot Of the
barn, dragging him along. The
building collapsed, crushing Mr..
kel's buggy. Mr.. Kell and horse
were imprisoned, and his cries for
help brought Mr.. ShOwaker and
neighbors, who quickly dug the
prisoners out.
Mr.. ShOwaker has been particu-
larly unfortunate within the past
decade. Ten years ago his barn
was struck by lightning and de-
stroyed; five years later it was
crushed in by heavy snow. This
spring his smoke house was burnt
with all his meat, and he recently
lost IA valuable horse. Mr.. ShO-
walker estimates his loss at 81 800.
His insurance policy, unfortunate
ly, does not cover losses of this
kind.
The barn of Mrs. Pee was COM
pletely demolished, the barn doors
being found over mile away;
shingles were picked up over three
miles away. Only two trees are
standing in Mrs PEGS large Or
chard. Many other barns and
houses were destroyed. 1t would
take long article to tell all the
damage to orchards, fences, build
ings, crops, and woods, in the track
of this storm.

Judge Dallas, of the United States
Circuit Court, for the sale of the

press the belief that in the new deal
that the sheriff7s sale will bring
about, they are to be admitted In
new issue of paper of half the face
