THE END OF THE WORLD.
n Scientists Forecast of the Final
Terrestrial CATASTROPHE.


Prof. Simon Newcomb has a curious
story in McClure's Magazine. which en-
bodies a scientific forecast of the manner
In which the end OF the world may come
about. The only survivors of this imagin-
airy catastrophe We're professor OF phys
les and a small band of coworkers gathered
together in subterranean chamber and
well fortified againet tie holocaust which
came upon the surface OF the earth.
The story begins when rapidly moving
body was observed approaching the sun
The professor OF physics formed the theory
that when the moving body struck the sun
its outer envelope would be penetrated and
the enormous fires pent up within be set
free. This theory was justified by the
event. A moment of relief came TO the
watchers as the flying star disappeared
within the sun. Perhaps, under the fer
vent heat OF the sun, the star had dissolved
into tie air. But this hope was speedily
dashed by its temperance as a black spot
on the sun. slowly passing along it's face.
Those who considered the case now knew
that we were merely looking - the object
as seen between US and the sun. and that
tt had not yet fallen into the latter For a
moment there was a vague hope that the
computations OF the astronomers had, for
the first time IN history, led them astray
and that the black object would continue
its course over the sun. to leave IL again
lfke the planet Mercury or Venus during
a transit. But this illusion was dispelled
when the dark object disappeared in a mo-
naent and It's place was taken by an efful-
Gence or sucn Intensity that. notwithstand-

He had a Cousin Jim who was known in

THE FLOOD AT KANSAS CITY.


Kansas City Letter in New York Post
Other floods may come, but Kansas City
rests in the confidence that IL has expert
enced its supreme sensation. For nearly
twenty-four hours 100000 citizens went back
To first principles and lived as simply as
the early settlers. Comparatively few peo-
pie were directly endangered by the water
which came laundering down to the meet
ing place of the Kansas and Missouri riv-
ers, and yet the flood temporarily deprived
a metropolitan city OF all the modern con-
yeniences which have been developed in the
last half century.
On three sides Kansas City was bounded
by swollen rivers. and yet the greatest dan
ger and discomfort was due to a lack of
water in the city mains. There was tor
rent within hearing distance, and yet be-
cause the pumping stations were flooded
and water could not be distributed through
its accustomed channels, all municipal ac-
tivities were at a standstill.
Every power plant and manufacturing es-
adjustment was shut down because no
water could be fed TO the boilers. Kitchen
stoves I'm well-equipped homes were useless
because the water pipes were empty. There
were no engines running 20 generate electric

A typical Southern gentleman got on at
some point In Virginia yesterday, and
brought with him his appetite and ample
means for Its qualification. He was large
man with a philanthropic countenance and
benevolent waist measurement, and he
looked over the bill of fare without the
least apparent loss of nerve. The first or

same quantity of apolinaris water with a
glassfull of cracked Ice. These two bev-
erages he mixed and drank with great rel
ish as ne marched through plate of fried
crabs. mashed potatoes, green peas, aspa-
ragus on toast with rye bread ad libitum.
But previous to this course he ate with
great zeal heavy allowance OF clam chow
der with soda crackers. The third course
consisted of heaping saucer of strawber-
ries. and lastly he ate liberal quantity
of Edam cheese with water crackers
which he washed down with a pot OF
strong coffee. After paying the bill OF

out before it communicated to the
building. In addition they broke the
plate glass window by revolver shots.
When the party lett they carried off a
quantity OF liquors and dumped some
out of the window, which they could

The sheriff's department announced
Aug. 6 that Joseph Murray of IS 1-2
Grove street, Rutland, who was sup
posed to have been killed by the cars
near the Chase Toy Works plant in
that city early in the morning OF June
10, was murdered. although they have
/ been unable TO locate the murderer.
His body was found two feet from the
track by the crew OF a northtound
passenger train at a. N. The body
was examined and it was given out
that he was killed by some train be-
tween IL and o'clock. The sheriff's
department knew at the time that the
man was murdered but kept quiet in
order to apprehend the assailant.
Death was caused by a fracture of the
skull, being an ugly wound back of
the right ear which looked as though
club had been used. A scrap of
paper was found near the body by
Deputy Sheriff +. S. Whitaker on
which in labored handwriting was
"Blank blank struck me with club.
The name given is that OF a well
known Rutland business man. Local
physicians state that the man might
have written the sentence just pre-
vious to death but the sheriff thinks it
was written by the murderer and left
near the body to divert suspicion. 1t
is now probable that they will never
catch the murderer.
Z. II. Robbins store at Gouldsville
was entered during the night Wednes-
day, Aug. 5, and quantity OF candy,
cigars, tobacco, shoes, etc, taken. En-
trance was made at rear window and
it is believed the robbery occurred at
about one O'Clock as a disturbance was
heard at that time. No investigation
was made, however, and nothing was
known of the burglary until the next
morning. During Wednesday even
ing Thomas Ward, who resides in
Moretown near Jones brook, missed a
wagon from his place and in company
with another man spent several hours
in searching Tor it. They went to
Gouldsville and Mortified and return
ed to Mr.. Wards early in the morning
TO find the wagon in its usual place.
George, Winfred and Edward Stone,
three boys of Moretown, aged respec-
lively nineteen, eighteen and fifteen
years, who had previously been i'm
pllcated in a similar affair at Robbins
store but,never punished, were arrest
ed and quite a quantity of tobacco,
cigars, shoes, candy and other goods
was found hidden in the hay in two
barns at their homes. The story OF
how Mr.. Wards wagon was missing is
not complete without adding that the
boys borrowed a horse from Mr..
Sturtevants pasture, harness from
John Lynch's barn and completed the
rig by taking Mr.. Wards carriage.
The property was replaced after the
