Pittsburg, Dec. S0.--The recent cold
snap has made dangerous the ice in the
Allegheny river. At Rosston the gorge
is an immense affair, being packed to
the bottom and extending IS miles up
stream. 1t was formed during a thaw
and the ice, breaking into small pieces,
has packed all the way to the bottom,
offering resistance that can scarcely be
overcome. The water is now backing
up and spreading over the lowlands.
The gorge at Springdale still holds and
but little ice is floating in either the
Allegheny or MonongaheIa rivers.

VALD0STA HAS A

Strange Occurrences Have Followed
Her Advent Into MIR. Chitty's Home.
Valdosta, Ga. Oct. Much excite
ment has been caused here this week
by a series of strange occurrences at
the home of w. H. Chitty, a we'll
known citizen. The occurrences can
not be explained by any natural law
and has puzzled the hundreds of people
who have gone to witness them, many
holding to the theory that Miss Sallie
Moore, the 13-yesr-old niece of Mrs.
Chitty, who is boarding at the home, is
the possessor of some strange power
like that of Lula Hurst.
The little girl has been an inmate of
Mr.. Chitty's home for several weeks.
put the strange manifestations We're
not noticed until a few days ago. Va
rlous articles have been thrown from
one part of the house to another by
some unseen force, and objects have
lett their accustomed places on tables
ana bureaus and scattered themselves
over the room in utter disregard of
the laws of gravitation and natural
force. Many small objects fall an.
parently from the ceiling, not being
seen at the beginning of their flight,
ana noticed only when they bang
against a door or strike the floor.
To all appearances trickery is out of
the question. The hundreds of people
who have been attracted to the place
acknowledge themselves nonpIussed.
and Mr.. Gritty, who is a practical and
reliable citizen, says that he has made
a number of thorough examinations
with the idea of arriving at satisfac-
tory explanation of the occurrences,
but without avail.

WALTON COUNTY MAN THINKS
HE HAS A COLLECTION OF THE
REAL THING AT LAST.

Took a Bottle Full of Bugs He Gath
cred From His Cotton Field and
Compared Them With Specimens
of the Texas ArticIe-This COM
parison Convinced Him That He
Has the Dread Pest On His Place.
Covington. Ga. Oct. 1.-The genuine
Mexican cotton boil weevil has without
doubt been found in Newton county,
Since the reported find of a boil vice.
vii in the eastern part of the county
last week, bugs of various kinds and
description have been pouring into the
office of Charles G. Smith, editor of the
local paper. This was evidently an in
hication that the farmers were vitality
interested in the investigation of the
different insects, which they fear are
doing untold damage to the cotton crop
IN this section.
On Thursday the State Department
Of Entomology sent several specimens
Of the real Mexican boil weevil to this
city, for comparison with the insect
found on MIR. Dukes plantation, which
was found to bear little resemblance
20 the Texas weevil. Upon reading
about the boil weevil scare in the
newspapers this week C. P. Lee, a
prominent citizen and well-to-do farm
er of Walton county, residing near
The line OF Newton county, went out
into his farm and collected bottle
full of the insects and brought them
TO Covington this afternoon. They were
placed beside the specimens sent down
by State Entomologist Newell, and
when examined through a microscope
absolutely no difference could be de-
tected.
Mr.. Lee said this destructive insect
has played havoc with his cotton crop.
He described ravages of the pest fully,
his report being similar to the descrip-
tions sent out by the Agricultural De-
partment. He says he made the dis
covery in June and believed strongly
then that it was the same insect that
had been so destructive to the Texas
cotton crop. He carried some of the
bugs down to oxford for microscopic
examination, but his friends there
were not so credulous as he himself
was and laughed at him for his eff
fort.
