Another Warm Endorsement.

NJ. w Reich, secy temple Society,
Cleveland, o., says:
DR.. Robert Stuart Macarthur was
heard for the first time in this city,
and the large audience that was gath
cred in the temple Wednesday evening
TO hear him speak were completely
carried away by the masterful elo-
quence Of the man. The subject,
1.-THE Empire Of the Czar-the Great
Bear OF the North. . is one which from
1t title might have been dry histori-
cal talk. 1t proved to be anything
but that. From the moment DR..
Macarthur spoke the first word his
audience was caught and chung to him
with the deepest interest to the close.
Some OF his word paintings were sim-
ply marvellous. His descriptions of
Ivan the Terrible, and the Assassina-
ton of Alexander III cancot be put on
paper, theyEmust be heard Many are
the dark clouds In the history Of this
benighsed country, but In describing
them the tension Is relieved very much
by the wit and humor which are In
trodaced here and there. Altogether
the lecture made a lasting impression.
and one is told more of the charac ter
of Russian despotism in the hour and
half which the lecture consumes
than could be CLEANED from half
dozen volumes.

Morris Glass Company Direc-

Meeting Held Here on Tuesday Scrap.
pers Declare that one Side or either
Must Get out Harvey accused OF
Thinning the Stockholders His
Friends Deny it.
A meeting of five members of the
board OF directors of the Morris Glass
Company was held here on Tuesday
The members concerned refused to
talk for publication but there are re-
ports ia circulation that there has
been something crooked in connection
with the organization Of this com
pany.
1t is alleged that w L. Harvey who
is one of the chief owners of stock has
hoodooed the others and that he has
misrepresented things in connection
with his patents Twenty five thou
sand dollars worth of stock was given
him. This was half of the total
stock.
This was done IN return for his
assignment of his interest in the pat
ent on glass bath tub to the com
pany It has since been found accord
ing to part of the directors that he
had no patent on any thing of the
kind but did have a patent on a
heater to be placed under the tub.
A meeting Of the stockholders was
called and they are going to take steps
TO get the stock held by Harvey can
eelled They claim that he has finn
med Them and that they wont stand
for it any longer
Mr.. g. II. Stefnman one OF the di-
rectors who stands with Harvey says
that there is nothing in the reports in
circulation but that Harvey is all
right. He has done every thing that
he has said he would aud has not mis-
represented any thing.
He says that the whole matter has
become SO acute however that one side
or the other Will have to get out of
the factory. They can't work to-
gether. HIS people are ready to either
sell out or to buy the Others out.
la the meantime the factory is
about ready to start aud 1t is being
delayed by the racket which has been
raised. A number of men from this
county have stock in the concern and
RsE. Campbell Jobes is one Of the pro-
moters.
Events Ia connection with the row
are expected to start very soon. A
resort Will probably be made to the
courts In order to untangIe the matter
and to determine what are the merits
Of the case.

Searching.
KrNGwooD, w. Va, Jan. S.~Among
all the accidents OF the holiday sea
son about the liveliest one yet took
place down near Clifton Mills re-
Gently at the home of Allen Sliger.
The men folks OF the place were out
near the house killing beet and
Shger's children, little girl of three
or four, a boy about six and one
about nine, were playing about the
house as il was cold out of doors and
considerable of snow on the ground.
Mrs. Sliger went out TO see about the
butchering, leaving the children
alone. There is where they got in
their work and had the biggest
christmas crack" in the county.
In the kitchen, a one.story frame al
fair built onto tho main part OF the
house, was full key of powder and
a part of keg
The boys had seen other boys at
school setting it OIL 70 hear the ex-
plosion aud they concluded to have
some fun also. So they got at the
key that had been opened and got a
match aud were all sitting down
around the key, when the six year
old took Off tire lid and dropped the
lighted match in and hastily put the
lid on remarking TO his brother TO
hurry up or Nanny viii smack
the devil out OF u.s.
Then came thunder sound
And the boys, o where were they,
&C ask OF the country around.
Where the ruins Of the kitchen
lay.
The men down at the buteIering
didn know at first whether it was
an earthquake, volcano or Day OF
Judgment. But after the ruins of
the cooking shop got done settling
over tue surrounding country, they
ran TO the house to rescue the kids
and found tile boys among The wreck
with their clothes on fire They
dragged them out in the snow and
rolled them in it till the fire was out.
The father could hear his little girl
crying but could not find her at first,
but after desperate digging among
the ruins found her covered up with
plastering. shingles etc, and her
clothes on fire. She was pulled out
and found 10 lie worse scared than
hurt, but the boys were badly burnt
and their eyes blinded with the ex-
plosion and burnt so they were un-
able TO see at last accounts. A ply.
stefan was summoned and has been
working with them to try to save
their eyesight.
The kitchen was complete
wreck, the boards and timbers being
scattered for hundred yards ia ev-
cry direction and the main part of
the house badly damaged, the roof
being showed to one side The won
der is that the children escaped with
their lives, but luckily for them
they were sitting downsoa the floor
and the explosion went Oft over their
heads. Whether NANNY smacked
the devil out Of them or not we
haven't heard, but we'll bet they
never try any more Ghristmas
cracks like that anyhow.

of him which baby was Emile and
which was Albert. He asked the ma
tron at the hopital what to do and she
couldn't suggest anything, though she
scolded him for his carelessness. So
the only course he could take was to
go back to the parents and see If they
couldn't decide. His appearance at
the flats and the tale he had to tell
set the mothers in an uproar. They
called in the midwife, but in vain, for
even to her experienced eye all boy
babies looked alike to her. Finally,
after every ones opinion of every one
else had been given and without re-
serve, it was decided to draw lots. A

that heads should represent Emile and
tails Albert. So the dispute, IL not the

Badly wounded, he fell on his knees,

after minutes terrible struggle, he
rolled around and died, with one-half

Chased by Hippopotami

The river was at least four miles
broad with half dozen channels run
ming between submerged islands of
reeds. You might have got on one ui
these islands, but sou would never
have reached the mainland. To shoot
at another hippo meant only to in
crease our danger, as if we merely
wounded him it would infurlate the
beast. and if we killed him it would
not drive the others away therefore

whole herd dived, and we could see
them 200 yards or so higher up the

thing went on. We sometimes found
