A Galveston Storm Victim.

Will Logsdon returned home last
Sunday from Galveston. where he

REPEATING The CITY.
Townsite Surveyors Again at Work.
Plat Pleased chickasaws.


Chief Surveyor Thayer. with his
crew of assistants, began this
morning the onerous task of re-
plating the town to conform the
plat to the recent instructions OF
Secretary Hitchcock. limiting all
business lots to 25 feet front and
all residence lots to 100 by $50
feet.
Thus, with one order. the secre-
tary has knocked into a cooked hat
and brought to naught one year S
lassiduous labor of our townslte
commission.
/ j. George Wright has advised
that the discretion of the commits
sion might be used in the division
of lots in special instances where
considerable interests are leopard
lied by following the instructions.
i But the question with the commits
sion is, to what instances does Mr..
Wright's ruling applyi Ii my
neighbor's lot or block is left
intact and mine divided it's only
natural, as we'll as just. that
should be displeased.
il Accompanying the plat sent NJ
for approval were full instructions
5. and advices made by the commits
, sion, but it seems that the instruc
tions did not reach the secretary
~ the plat being accompanied onl!
by the disapproval of Mr.. Wright
Gov. Johnston and his attorney
Mr.. Cornish, were fully advised a
to the course pursued by the com
mission, and together with Mr.
Burney, are the chief representa-
tiyes of the nation, and are salts
fed with the plat. Coy. Johnston
expresses his approVal Oh the prlu
ciple of the protection Of home
carried out by the commission.
Nobody charges the principle
wanton gain to any one, and
does seem a piece of folly to dis
turb old established homes whe
no person or corporation can /
any way reap beneficial result
from such course.
Titles in fee simple have bee
delayed and the majority of OF
u people are not satisfied. 1t seen
that Messrs. johnson and Burne
have had regard for every man
interest alike and stand fully e.
onerated.

 boat as we'll as cut of the engine and several others, of corn shelters blaming 1 machines, etc., were furnished me by
 his son. My recollection of the propel- l Ter is tha. it resembled much more | closely the ordinary Ericsson propeller
 than would appear from the cut I eral rods. eight or ten at least I should
 say, and the angle at which I viewed It may have simply shown the flanges. Beecher was probably one of those men of active intellect to whom it was a pleasure to invent and to solve me- chanical problems, and to whom suc- cess in this direction meant more as an end to be gained than any pecuniary
 results. Therefore when he had suc- ceeded in solving a problem it probably lost its interest for him and he hid not pursue it to the practical and 1lnan- cially successful end. His son says that the Cheshre boat lay in the canal un- til 1t fell to pieces; but it was certainly narrow escape from great invention, and its story is an interesting episode ia the history of canal that Is now generally regarded a moderate sized failure, but possibly, when viewed in all It's relations may deserve a some what better reputation. It was certain ly one of the stepping stones of prog less although it did prove rather un- stable.

 When the Ericsson propeller first be- gan to attract attention, which was not very far from 1S40, there was nothing novel to me in the idea for I distinctly remembered having seen some years earlier a propeller of the same sort at tached to boat on the Pennington canal. The boat was lying at the mouth of a little bay or creek which opened into the basin at a place in Cheshire then called Beaehport, in honor of Bur rage Beach.

SAVED BY CIDER.

l In Medfleld, Mass, stands what Is claimed to be one of the oldest houses in the country, and If the story about it Is true, none has more interesting his- tory or experienced a more narrow es- capse from destruction. It stands on the old Boston and Hartford post road,
 near the Clark tavern, in Medfield, and locke just about as 1t did long, long ago. So assert the older inhabitants. It's great glory consists in the fact that
 when the Indians under King Philip
 burned the town, Peak house was the only building in the town left standing.
 Benjamin Clark, an ancestor of the keeper of the Clark tavern, built Peak house, and lived in 1t at that time.
 When alarm was given that Indians were about to attack the settlement, he took his family and hastened to the fort, where the men defended themselves from the onslaught of the savages.
 Before leaving the house, MT. Clark placed keg of cider on bench in front of the door, and the next day when the savages had gone away he was astonished to find hls house untouched, though the settlement was in ruins. The cider, however, was all gone. Evi- dently the Indians appreciated 1t, for they made cross on the door of Peak house, and 1t never suffered at their hands. This is the story told by great grandfathere and grandmothers and handed down to the present generation. Buffalo News.
