ILL LUCK IN APPLE BLOOMS.

"I saw in the Star not long ago cop les from New York paper said lady living near Greeley, Pike county, Pa., relates the Washington Star, Ia story about an apple tree blossoming in De- tober, and the fatal result of it. The story was told as coming from man. and he said that an apple tree at his home had blossomed ten years before in October and shortly afterward his wife had died. It had not blossomed again in October for several years, and then within month his mother had died. Then there was another lapse, and when he told the story. which was about the 1st of October, the tree was again in blossom. and he was great ly disturbed as to what was going to happen next.
 Well, that story was mine, and the reporter put'it in the name of a man because l didn't want to appear in it Two weeks after I had told the story to a party of friends in which the re- porter was I went back home, ane within week the house took fire anc burned to the ground. It was so sud den that we barely managed to get ou
 with our lives, and our chief article! of apparel were bath-robes and blank cts. It was country place and WI had no means of putting out the fire so everything was lost. The only con solation we have is that the fatal appl tree stood so close to the house tha it was burned to crisp, and it, at least will never again be the messenger, o l bad luck, however much other tree may bring with their October blos sons. One thing I am sure of. wa
 never superstitious before, but con | fess to little of it now, and l neve want to see another apple tree bloom ing in October if it belongs to me.

AMBITIONS OF A LIEUTENANT
The Only Obstacle to the Unanimous
 Reelection of Col T. F. Callahan. F

onlS opstacle 10 the Unanimou4
 Reelection of Col T. F. Callahan.
 Interest in the approaching electidS ol colonel to succeed Colonel Calls
 nan IS growing throughout the. Second regiment, says last evenings New Ha-S ven Register. As stated yesterday. ooiohel callahan is anxious that the o1ncers look upon the election as a means of upholding him and vindicat- Ing his position. This was made even stronger to-day by aaclose friend of the colonel, as Colonel Callahan himself Will say absolutely nothing on the matter. Said the officer referred to-
 colonel Callahan will stand for re- election on Thursday afternoon. He mas not made any public announce ment of that fact to the officers but ms friends are at liberty to state that he will be a candidate and the only candidate. The regiment is nearly unanimous in supporting him in his pc sltion, and the only reason why there is the slightest fear that the tide may turn the other way is the ambition of l q hutenant in one of the newly organ ized companies to become captain on the promotion of his superior to q ma- | JorSnlp. This feature of the question | is making all the stir, and as there Is | some reason to believe that officers of another company will back up the op- | position because of company feeling the ambitions of the lieutenant re- ferred to may create a breach. There is not, however, the slightest personal | feeling against Colonel Callahan, and ii he is not reelected it will be for en- tirely different reasons than any per sonal question. The men want him | back. They want to see Colonel Cal lahan enter on his duties again, and see if with T new adjutant- general he may not be allowed to command his regiment without interference and abuse from his superiors. And more than that. there is a feeling that has grown stronger since his resignation that the honor of the regiment calls for his reelection. He is very popu
 lar with his men, and will unquestion
 ably receive q large majority of the yotes.'
 The Waterbury officers will vote fol Colonel Callahan to q man, and have assured him of their support, so q Wa
 terbury officer said this morning.
