creasing flames as possible and uttered
cry of pain: ooh my God, let me go,
men! I've got something more to tell
you. Please let me go. oh, my God,

In terrible screeches these words, the
first he had uttered aloud, came from
the negro. A terrible Juggling at the
chains, a succession of awful groans
and screams, the Negroes agony was at
last breaking down his sullen compos-
ure. Not an oath escaped him, but he
begged and pleaded to be shot. Sud
denly the rope holding his hands burned
through. Then arms, head and shout
ders slipped through the chains. For
an instant the body stood erect, the
arms were raised in supplication, while
burning pieces of clothing dropped from
them. The body then fell away from
the fire. the head lower than the feet
still fastened to the rail. This was not
expected and for few minutes those

terrible heat and lack of air quickly

terrible ceremony, out upon the rolling
prairie, concluded the second tragedy
upon that spot, the terrible avenging Of
the first.
Through the entire affair but little
was said. AS they had calmly prepar-
ed for the avenging, so the people of the
eastern part of the state carried out
their plan coolly and deliberately. There
was not a hitch in the entire proceed
ings. Not a weapon was drawn; there
was no angry discussion. After the fire
had burned low they told each other
good night and they went home without
stopping to discuss the affair.

GOOSE-EGG CLOUDS.
Freeport Never Saw the Like of Them
Before

| Freeport Never Saw the Like of Them
| Before,
| Through the courtesy of E. D. Miller
! of Chicago, the Times Herald has come
! into possession Of a picture of a re-
markable cloud formation photo
graphed at Freeport, ILL.,, the evening OF
August is, 1899. Mr.. Miller, who wit
messed this formation, says of it:
1.-THE day had been bright and clear
with the temperature about eighty
| five I was sitting In the porch of a
house at Freeport looking at the sky,
which was a most beautiful blue-not a
cloud visible-when / suddenly saw
| forming at the zenith a white mass
which took on the form of goose egg,
and hung as If suspended from the sky.
| 1t appeared to be three or four feet
| long, did not move, was snow white
and alone. But in a few seconds an
| other cloud formation, of the same
character appeared a little removed
from the first. Then others came until
ted with them.
1.-THE people left their work and gath
cred in the streets to observe the phe-
nomena. Some were frightened. Tele-
phones and telegraph instruments
showed great agitation. There was no
thunder or lightning. For an hour and
half the formations remained in the
sky and then slowly faded away, TAX
ing on a dull gray color as they disap-
peared. We made inquiry, but found
that points twenty-five miles removed
from Freeport did not notice anything
unusual in the sky that night. I never
witnessed anything so remarkable in
cloud formations, and have no explana-
ton for 1t. / was only able to obtain a
photograph of the scene a few days
ago."
Professor Cox of the weather bureau
was shown an Illustration Of the cloud
beauties and asked for an explanation.
He said; THE subject matter will be
sent to Professor Moore at Washing
ton, and have no doubt a satisfactory
explanation can be secured there. From
the fact that electrical instruments
were disturbed at Freeport I have no
doubt that some electrical disturbance
in the atmosphere above the town had
something to do with the phenomena.
Our weather charts for August 16 show
nothing that would explain the forma-
lions. The atmosphere which surrounds
the earth is nothing more or less than
a great ocean, whose powers we have
not yet been able to measure. There
are riffs, depressions, huge waves and
other breaks In this ocean. all Of
which contribute to bring about many
peculiar cloud formations. Washing
ton, though, we will have to draw on its
data for a more explanation.
In Freeport the strange clouds were
nine days subject Of discussion 1t
was surprising how many people re-
garded the appearance as of supernat-
ural origin, and even some believed 1t
pretended evil to the earth. If Wash
ington is unable to explain the matter,
F'reeport will experience a feeling of re-
lief, although it is now more than a.
year since the formations were SEEM

at the stake. The train was then allow
ed to proceed and at Lake Station,
about three miles from Limon and near
the scene of the negro's crime, the par

for the deed of vengeance.
Wagons were dispatched for wood,

SEARCHING FOR FIREBUGS.


West Haveners on the Hunt-Colligan

Francis G. Colligan, the West Haven

Whalley avenue jail and in the mean
time detectives, policemen and citizens
of the borough are on vigilant search
for more confiagration promoters that

CT Last Evening-A Memorable Church
and Social Event-Piece of Bronze
Statnary from the Business Men OF
Bridgeport-A Purse of $3.50 Presented
to DR.. Phillips by the Church.
The reception last night for DR.. and

of the Redeemer in honor of the tenth
anniversary of DR.. Phillips connection
with the church as pastor was mem
orable event in the history of the
church, besides being great social af-

| Invitations to the number of about
700 had been sent out to members of
( the church, the Congregational clergy
men of the city, and many of the fac
ulty of the university and a large num-
Der of these We're in attendance. The
parlors of the church were prettily dec
GRATED in honor of the event with palms
and chrysanthemums in endless variety
and the whole effect was exceedingly
pretty DR.. and Mrs. Phillips received
the guests, and the following young
men acted as ushers: Arthur Phillips,
Frank Phillips, Frank Adams, Nathan
B. Fitch, Harold Warren f. B. Merrill.
Refreshments were served during the
evening and a delightful evening was
passed.
On the pianoforte in the church par
lor rested a pleasing memorial of DR..

the shape of a handsome bronze In
dian head, which arrived from Bridge
port in time for the reception,
At the close of the reception the
guests gathered in the auditorium of
the church. After singing a few of the
old songs President Morris It. Tyler, in
behalf of DR. Phillips congregation, in
q speech weighty with the cordial SYM
pathy of the church expressed towards
it's pastor, presented him with a free
will token in the form of a purse con-
tanning about $3.50. President Tyler
emphasized the fact that this purse was
not gathered from few members of
the church, but from the entire con-
gregation. 1t was meant as a token of
the esteem in which DR.. Phillips has
USeIl Helu during MS ten years paSlO-
rate, and the impression which he has
made through his preaching, and more
especially through his life and charac-
ter.
Dr. Phillips fittingly replied by an
informal speech INDUCING in some
pleasing "reminiscences of the time
when Mr.. Tyler first met him to call
him to the pastorate of the church. He
closed expressing his appreciation of
the respect and affection in which he is
held by his people.

carefully arranged the details of this
event was composed of Frank Hart,

THE FIRST TRoUsERs.-Thef first pan
falcons or trousers were made In Assy-
ria. In the reign Of King Asshurizir-
pal. (s3s-5S B. c. horses were introdu-
ced In the army as cavalry. Here, now,
was problem; the cavalrymen had
to have some sort Of q uniform, and It
was impossible for him to wear skirt
and ride astride Of horse. The tall
ors to his majesty's armies wagged
their heads long time over the prob
lem, and finally decided that the only
way out Of the difficulty was to cut the
cayalrymen's skirts from hem to waist
band in both front and back, letting
each part fall on its respective side OF
the horse. AS can readily be imagined,
this split skirt made an. exceedingly
poor article Of clothing. The law OF
heredity, however, is full Of surprises;
this humble apology for a garment,
was destined to be the father: OF the
original pantaloons. The minds Of the
tailor has been small cue. It Is like
ly than even then, as now, it took mine
tailors to make. man." At any rate,
it took the tailors of Assyria over a
century to solve the problem Of the
horsemen's clothing. Why not said
one of, these workers with the needle
and shears, "sew together the edges
of each division Of the skirt and thus
form a separate skirt for each leg?-,
or, in other, words, he invented pair
of pantaloons.-St. Nicholas.

Some time ago a well-known barrister
had under cross-examination a youth
from the country who rejoiced in the
name Of. Sampson, whose replies. were
the cause Of much laughter in the court
room.

"you wish the court to believe that you

yes"
"And that you have no desire to fol-

and smite the Philistines?"
"No, I've not" answered the youth,
