WATCHED FOR SHADOW BANDS

exact causes or these shadow bands are
not known, and the observations taken
yesterday VIII probably prove OF great
use 1t is the theory of Professor VIII
liam III. Pickering. of Harvard, and the
most generally accepted theory that the
shadow bands are due to atmospherir

TWO MARION BOYS.

There was change effected yes
terday in the agency of the Adams
and Southern Express Companies
in this city. Joe H. Walker, who
had resigned ON the 9th of Novem-
Der last was checked out and AL
fred w. Blondin checked in agent.
The reason that the resignation of
Mr.. Walker was not effective until
yesterday, was that he was asked
to hold up until after the holiday
rush. He has served the company
as agent in this city since about
1883 and during that time he has
deservedly gained the confidence
and good will of the citizens of
this city and has built UP the COM
pany's business to very great de-
gree. He was always courteous
and attentive to business. He will
go on the road as travelling sales
man for the Henderson Lithogra-
'phing Co., of Cincinnati. His
friends wish him unbounded pros
parity in his new field.-Hender-
son Cleaner.
Mr.. VIII Hammond, who has
been a valued employee of the Ben

ton with the 1. G. Co., at Hender-

vious experience in railroad bust
ness and will doubtless prove a
popular member Of the Office force

Flied AWAY.
No Double Mail Service on the Ohio
Valley at Present.

The people along the Ohio Val
ley branch of the 1. c., have been
very much interested in an effort
to get double mail service on the
branch. Lengthy petitions we're
sent in from the towns along the
road, and as the train service is
good, it was hoped that an extra
mail car and clerks would be put
ON. Monday Postmaster Order
received a letter from Senator De-
Doe in which the Senator enclosed
a letter from the Postof6ce Depart
ment saying that while the expen-
Sc was comparatively small and the
service needed, there were no avail
able funds for this purpose and the
matter had been fled away and
would receive further attention in
1901.
This service is badly needed and
the business interests all along the
road will be disappointed at the
result of its efforts to secure SER
vice that it merits.

HOLOCAUST G

and Perish.
JOHN P. REEDS BIG LOSS.

Between ten and eleven o'clock
Sunday night, the big grain and
sock barn of Mr.. John P. Reed,
near town, was destroyed by fire,
AMI in the flames seven fine mules,
three good horses and five head of
c,ttle persisted, and twoother good
m lies were so badly injured that
they will probably be worthless.
Besides The i've stock, $50 bushels
o. corn, a lot of oats, five tons of
hay, a binder, buggy, a wagon
and lot of harness and saddlery
of all kinds used on a big farm
wJre burned.
When Mr.. Reed and other par
ties reached the building, the roof
had fallen in, and it was impossi-
bic to get into the passage to un-
fasten the doors ef the stalls that
hold the stock in prison, while it
was roasted alive. 1t was a pitia-
bic scene, and the distressing calls
of the horses and mules, the bel
lowing of the cattle and the mad
rear of the burning, consuming,
hoartless flames all combined to
make hideous, as well as pitiful
noise that will not soon be forgot
ten by those who heard it. Moth
ing could be done for the stock,
and gradually as the flames swept
around them, the poor animals
CO lsed one by one, to give express
s'onTn tones that wee as sorrowful
as the cry of human being, to
their excruciating pain,
The fire evidently originated in
the hay loft, and did its work IA
pidly. How it originated is not
known, but Mr.. Reed feels certain
that it was the work of an incen-
diary, He had always taken spe-
cal pains to keep fire away from
the building, allowing no one tc
smoke in or around it, and no one
of the family had been to the
building that day with fire in any
shlpe.
The loss is between $500 and
5000. No insurance.

SCIENCE EXPLAINS.
Bible Miracles Are Not Essential to
Christianity.


Miracles as an article of faith were
taken out of Christianity by Prof. Ben
jamin w. Bacon, Of the Yale Divinity
School, the other evening. He spoke
before the Mems Club of the United
Church on the theme ais a Belief in
Miracles Essential to Christianity"
At the outset Prof. Bacon declared
that 1t was not, and he said that the
greater part of the miracles of the
Bible can now be explained by scien-
tific reasoning. They were regarded
originally as miracles because they
were not understood. He pointed TO the
alleged miraculous destruction of arm
les and multitudes of people according
to the Old Testament, asserting that
some plague which was not understood
fell upon the armies, and that because
Of the enormous number of deaths
which followed a miracle was said to
have been wrought.
Prof. Bacon explained the crossing
OF the Red Sea by the children of Is
rael by saying that it had been been
found that high winds actually drive
the sea back at the exact spot where
the miracle is supposed to have taken
place, and that probably the children
of Israel arrived at just the time when
one of these was blowing.
He declared that the test of the mir
aculous was permanent Incompetent
sibility." The only two miracles which
have stood the test OF science in at
tempts to explain are, he said, the Res
direction and the Crucifixion. He re-
ferred to many of the miracles of the
New Testament as Legendary acre.

were written down from memory,
years after their occurrence, by the
Apostles.
Prof. Bacon's address is said to have
been based ON the doctrine taught in
the Yale Divinity School.-N. Y.
