To Investigate DivinInE Rods.
From the CLcagO Tribune

A cOmmisS II has been organized in Paris
to inquire into the potency of the divining
rod, which, according to the popular idea,
has often led to the discovery of water and
minerals The superstition, for science
has regarded it, Is to be thoroughly investi-
gated. well as the kindred appliances,
such as exploring pendulums and hydro
SCOPE compasses, which are constructed on
the same principle. Although science gen.
orally scouts the idea. there are many per-
sons who are willing to bear witness that
water and minerals have been found by the
aid Of the rod. Now and then paragraphs
in the country newspapers announce that
water has been discovered in this place or
that by the aid Of the twig or rod held be-
tween the fingers. The ancient superSti-
tin fingers and finds its believers because

LITTLE GIRLS ACCIDENT.
Florence Gallagher's Leg Broken BY
Wagon Wheel.

Florence Gallagher the nine year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Gallagher, Of
No. SO Erie street, while playing in front
of her home yesterday afternoon met with
a painful accident that will keep her COLI
fined to her home for at least two months.
While the child was amusing herself on
the sidewalk John McMahans peddlers S
wagon drove up and Mcmahon went to a
number of houses in the neighborhood to
serve his customers. While he was away
little Florence climbed on the side step of
the wagon. Mcmahon, coming from the
opposite side of the street, did not notice
the child, the barrels in the wagon cut
ting off his view, and started his horse.
He had only gone a short distance when
he heard a scream. He stopped his horse
quickly, and jumping off his wagon was
Mortified to see the little girl he had mo-
ticed playing just a few minutes before,
struggling under the wheels of his wagon
and crying as though in great pain. Nc
Mahon carried the little one to her home,
and laid her upon a bed, and summoned a
doctor, who Said that the child's leg mad

Mrs. Gallagher said last evening that
she could not hold McMahon responsible
for the accident. The child became exc:t-
ed when the wagon started, and losing
her balance fell under the wheels.

LEHIGH WIDERS ABUTMENTS.
Improvement OF Brown Place Is a
Thing OF the Distant Future.

Permission was granted the Lehigh
Valley Railroad last week by the Street
and Water Board to increase the width
of each of the abutments supporting the
Brown place bridge twenty feet. The
railroad company recently made an at
tempt to widen the abutments without
obtaining the necessary permission, but
was stopped by the police. 1t has since
developed that the Lehigh Company had
the right to widen it's bridge, and, act
ing under instructions from the Street
and Water Board, the police have al
lowed the company to make the change.
The railroad company, in constructing its
bridge, had practically blocked the west
ern end of Brown place, which was OBJ
jected to by property owners of that
section. It has since, however. purchased
most of the available property in that
section and now it really controls Brown
place. This street has not been improv-
ed and is entirely unfit for traffic.
1t was suggested some time ago that
the Street and Water Board be petitioned
to open up the western end in order to
connect the street with the New York
Bay shore. To do this it was necessary
to obtain the signatures of a majority
of the property owners. 1t was then that
the projectors of the petition learned
that most of the property on Brown
place was owned by the Lehigh Valley
Railroad AS 1t was considered extreme
ly improbable that the Lehigh Company
would consent to any move not in ac-
cord with its own plans, it was deemed
best to abandon the project
The abutments of the bridge, as they
now stand, are so close together as to
prevent the passage of a team between
them 1t is claimed that they are built
on city property by permission of the
at that time agreed to remove the abut-
ments back of the street line at such
time as the city decided upon to i'm
prove the street In view of the fact
that the railroad company controls most
of the adjacent property, this does not
now seem probable for at least some
time tn come
