MIDDIGHT FIRE,

On Monday night at lI.45 the fire
oeli called out the fire department.
ms ilremen respo nded promptly and
found the fire in double dwelling
mouse on Water street opposite Cul-
ler's store and owned by Mr.. Cutler.
one side was occupied by Thomas v.
hoib and the other by Dial Nicodemus
and his two sisters. The two families
had been quarreling for some time and
living in most disagreeable manner.
kolb states that the Nicodemus' had
threatened to burn the place if he did
not move and he was at the City Hall to
get an officer to arrest Nicodem us when
the fire started. The Nicodemus were
locked up. Kolb stated that he saw
Nicodemus starting the fire in is own
cellar and instead of givi ng the alarm
or breaking in, to put the fire out, went
OIL up street after an officer.
Both fami lies lost about all they had
and both are without insurance and the
actions of both families are SO unnatur
al That they are suspected of insanity
The building is total loss worth about
Slooo and the owner is fully insured.
We are told that the firemen found the
flre-plug so filled with stick and stones
by playing children, that they suffer
e considerable delay in getting the
stones out before they could turn the
water on. 1t would seem that there
ought to be some system of inspection
OF the fire-plugs at intervals to see that
they are Kept in good working order.

TRAMMEL l..

1t is with profound sorrow that we
publish the death of our esteemed
friend and fellow citizen. Mr.. Jacob S.
Trammell, which occurred at his home
on North Queen street IN this city on
Thursday morning last about o'clock
after long lingering illness. Mr..
Trammell was born and raised in this
city and has lived his whole life here.
He was possessed of all these quail
ties which make man beloved. To
know him was to have friend one
whom you ielt was true and Jealous
for your best interests. He was man
of rigid uprightness in all his dealings
with his fellow men and would at all
times rather suffer loss than intrude
upon the rights of others. No man in
this community ever stood higher OF
enjoyed larger circle of true and ear
nest friends than he and they all
; mourn his loss.
AT the time Of going to press the
hour had not been set for the funeral.
He is survived by his wife by his
wife and eight Children viz:Mrs. j. NJ.
Hollis, of Gerardstown, and Miss Cora,
Bessie ard Nellie and the sons, J..
Marshall Trsmmell, of Nebraska; NV,
Ernest and Frank of this city.
For many years he WAS prominent
IN the masonic councils of West Nir-
ginia and from early life was an earn
est member of the Presbyterian church
in this city.
His brother, Mr.. John w. Trammell
we regret to say accidentally broke
bone.in his leg at his home at Oxford
Nebraska, and will be unable to attend
the funeral. This is to be greatly re-
GREETED especially because of the low
ing attachment of the two brothers to
each other.

A Trip to the Moon.

How would you like to take trip
to the Moon?lIt would bea long jour-
ney taking more than six months If
you went with the speed of an express
train; or If you travelled with the
swiftness of ball from modern cam
non, 1t would take about as long as
trip across the Atlantic in fast steam
er. Under average atmospheric condi-
lions, large telescope gives us view
of the moon as it would be without the
telescope at a distance of 500 miles
from us.
The necessary outfit for the journey
would be much more extensive than
for amy trip on the earth, even the
trip to the North Pole. There will be
no chance "to live of the country" In
addition TO warm clothing and food
you must carry with you all you need
to drink, and the problem of keeping
it from freezing or thawing 1t
out If frozen will not be an easy one to
solve. There is practically no air on the
moon, and you must take along a sup
ply for breathing. If you expect to
mako fire and cook your dinner, you
must take in addition to fuel, an addi-
tional supply of air to k eep your fire
going.
But suppose that in some way you
are landed on the moon with a SUNNY
OF things necessary for sustaining life.
If you are on part Of the moon on
which the sun is shining you will mar
vel, perhaps, first Of all, at the daz-
zling brilliance Of the starlight and the
intense blackness of the shadows.
Everything in the shade will be al
most in total darkness, as there is no
air in the Ii tile dust particles to scatter
the sunlight so that it may illuminate
the places out n he direct path of its
rays.
And what sense of desoIation
would present itself to your view! The
Desert Of Sahara would look Ikea lux
urIant park in comparison with tie
lunar landscape. Not blade Of grass,
not tree, or brook OF lake-nothinp
but vast silent desert. There are
plains not quite rs level as our Wes-
tern prairies, and great numbers of
mountains, most Of them much sleeper
than those on the earth. they are not
grouped in long Badges, as our terres
trial mountains generally are, but are
scattered all over the surface, slngIy
and in irregular groups. Most of them
are shaped more or less like our terres-
trial volcanoes, and they probably
were volcanoes ages ago, before the
moon cooled Off
If you happen to land on a part Of
the moon where it is early morning
you will have plenty Of time for ex-
plorations before night comes on. The
sun rises and sets as it does on the
earth, but the time between sunrise
and sunset Is nearly fifteen Of our days
Then during the long lunar night our
earth will act like the moon, and will
light up that part Of the moons sur
face which is turned toward it. Only
there Will be the curious difference; ii
will not rise and set, but will remain
nearly stationary in the same region
OF the sky.-Canada Presbyterian.
