'sThe tidings that the war was over
had reached the oil regions, and the
American flag was flying from the
top of every derrick. The one thun-
derbolt of that storm at Pithole
struck the rig of the Homestead well
and set it on fire.
when, next day, the news of the
assassination of Lincoln by Booth
came to Pithole that city was over
hung by a dense pail of black smoke
from the burning Homestead well.
AS far away as Oil City the ominous
black pillar was seen hanging against
the sky over Pithole.
The fact that the assassin Booth
owned part of the Homestead well
at once occurred to all at Pithole.
and when 1t was learned that the
bolt had descended upon it at the
very hour and minute that Booth
had fired the shot the coincidence
seemed so significant that every eff
fort that had been made to extin-
guish the fire at the well and stop
the great waste of wealth every lap
of the flames was adding to, ceased
on the moment, and the very spot
was Stunned by all but the others
interested in the well, who at last
succeeded in getting control over the
flames.

sassination reached Meadville, indig-
nant guests at the McHenry house,

fragments the window whereon
Booth had inscribed his name a few

Small Efforts Are Valuable.

Do not be discouraged because of
the apparent insignificance of op-
portunities- Remember that the poet
wrote:
The smallest effort is not lost;
Each wavelet on the ocean tossed
Aids in the ebbtide or the now:
Each raindrop makes some doweret
blow,
Each struggle lessons human woe.

MORE DEATHS
Proba BILE as Result of Cincin-
natl Storm--Force at Work
on the Debris.

Cincinnati, May 22.-Further dam
ages from Tuesdays storm were re-
ported today. In addition to the six
deaths reported, thirteen persons are
known to have been seriously injured,
and two of them, Samuel B. Ellis and
William Beal, will probably die.
Over 500 new men are working on
the damaged streets and sewers, and
all men and teams available are being
put to work. Similar conditions exist
in Covington, Newport and other Ken
lucky towns. A boy was swept
through Covington sewer several
hundred yards and rescued alive at
its outlet. A herd of fourteen cows
was carried through one of the Gin
cinnati sewers and drowned. Tho
loss from cattle and hogs drowned in
this locality was very heavy.

STONE PILLOW
Carried BY Methodist Bishop.

Baltimore, Nd, May 22.-It is said
here that Bishop Taylor, of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, who died at
Palo Alto, Cal, had for over half a
century slept with his head pillowed
upon stone. He generally carried
the stone in satchel and always laid
his head upon it at night wherever he
was, thus literally carrying out the
words of the hymn, "My rest stone"
The Rev. Mr.. Smith, of this city,
says that on one occasion the bishop
visited him when the temperature was
far below zero and that the bishop
slept in the room with all the windows
thrown up and with his head on the
stone. 1t is said that this mode of
living accounted for his wonderful
physical endurance.

WOMEN CLEANED BRICKS
For New Church at Pastors
Cali--One Ciea ned Over
1000.

Marysville, O., May 22.-The min
lister of the Methodist church at Rich
wood stated to his congregation that
he wanted 100000 of the old brick OF
the church cleared away ready to use
in the new church to be built and
wanted the job done in two days.
Men, women and children immedi-
ately volunteered and yesterday the
work was almost completed within the
specified time. One prominent woman
cleaned 5000 bricks with her hatchet
in one day. 1t was rather a novel
sight to see women and young girls
with wheelbarrows, shovels and hatch
cts at work. The new edifice will be
commenced next week and will cost
about $4,000.

G0ULDS WILL FIGHT
THE PENNSYL LvANIA

Opposing Pennsy's Union
Station Bill.

New York, May 22.-George Gould
backed by the entire management of
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, will fight the Pennsylvania
Railroad company in the house of rep
resentatives on the bill which passed
the senate and is now pending in the
house providing for a union railway
station in this city, and partisans of
the Western Union say that before the
bill is finally passed the Pennsylvania
company will know It has been in a
contest.
The union station bill is primarily
a Pennsylvania measure, not only ap-
proved but urged by the management.
While it contains provision that all
railroads entering Washington shall
use the new depot as terminal anoth-
er section of the bill authorizes the
Pennsylvania company to organize as
a terminal company, thus retaining
management Of the depot an dpracti-
cally debating trems to other roads
which in the future may desire to
use it. This is the section of the
bill which Mr.. Gould and his friends
will fight.
The Pennsylvania backing in the
house will strenuously oppose this,
and legislative battle royal is pre-
dicted
The Western Union is in the con-
test, both to back up Mr.. Gould and for
purposes Of retaliation. The first eff
forts will be made in the committee,
and falling there the fight will be car
ried to the floor of the house.

It merely embodies a penalty for
