CANON CITY GETS A
HARD JOLT FROM R. R.

Canon City. at the meeting Of the
city council last night, received q
hard Jolt from the Rio Grande Rail :
road company, and as 3 result the
work on the new municipal water
works has been called off and will be
held up for the next thirty days or
probably longer.
While every effort Is being made to
day to keep tha news from finding its
way to the public. it Is known that
the council received letter from
the Rio Grande advising them to
cease work for thirty days or longer
IL it seems necessary. This was as
much AZ to say that IL the city did
not cal! off work that an injunction
would bo Issued compelling them to
do 30.
The order also commands the city
to move the tents and tools off the
company's right Of way, and rs a re-
suit of this order the tents are being
taken down today. 1t is said that the
Rio Grande will stop the city from
building its pipe line along the
sides of the gorge. claiming that 1t
will interfere with railroad traffic.
This is the second bump tho city
has received during the construction
of the works. just rs it reached
some land owned by the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, notice was
served that the mains could :2ot be
laid through the land until the right
of way WAS secured. In order to ss-
cure the right of way, the city was
forced to buy the pipe from the COM
pany and to transport it over the Rio
Grande railroad.

Senator 0Verman at Wilkesboro.

The people of Wilkesboro were
evidently pleased with Senator
Overman's speech there the other
day, judging from the following
special from that place to the
Charlotte Observer:
"Senator Overman addressed
the convention, making a power
full speech and being cheered
throughout. The Senator was in
fine trim and after dwelling on
the history of the founding of the
United States government with
great eloquence he took up the
subject of Capitalization of gov.
eminent. What r the signs of
the times? The answer is central.
ization of government and wealth,
as was the case of the Roman
government Immediately before ii
fell. The question seems to be,
shall this be a government by the
people or a government for and by
the office-holders? He paid a high
tribute to Bryan and ridiculed the
Republican slogan of prosperity
He took up the tariff and Stats
matters.
"Much congratulation and en-.
thusiastic hand. shaking was tend.
nred the earnest senator after hi
speech in the court house. His
speech has done a great deal oil
good here"

He TOOK IT HARD.
Tilted Man Who Has Not Spoken to Anyone
For Thirty Vars.

For thirty years Benjamin
Lands, who lives in a modest lit.
tie home with his mrther two
miles outside of this town, has
not conversed with friends or rel.
atives because, it is reported, he
was Tilted by a girl whom he loved
devoutly when a youth.
More than thirty years ago
"Ben" Lands wooed Miss Fannie
Gingerich, who was then the belle
of the countryside, and who mar
ried Henry Snavely. Lands,
who was then eighteen years old,
tried to forget and went West to
seek the excitement of a mining
camp OF life on a ranch. For sew
eral years he lived near Kansas
City, but finally returned to his
mother, near Middletown.
The flame had not died, but he
was a far different "Ben" Lands
than the one'who went away a few
years, before. Relatives declare
that he "became queer while in
the West" but neighbors and
friends say "it was the girl" 1t
vas at this time in his life that
he took the VOW never again to
speak to any one, and he has lived
up to his resolution unfiinchingly
for thirty years.
Today the girl whom Lands
wooed is a widow, her husband
having been killed on q railroad
sixteen years ago. She lives with
her parents very near tire Lands
home, but "Ben" Lands never
talks to ~her.-Middleton, N. Y,

A Possible Explanation.

Judge PEBBLE has come in for q
good many raps for having direct
ed a mol pos in a case in Cherokee
county wherein the defendants
were indicted for disturbing reli-
glous exercises in interrupting the
proceedings of a Sunday school,
He held that a Sunday school
meeting is not a religious exercise.
The Rowan County Sunday School
Association took a fall out of him
Wednesday. The disposition of
a case in one of the extreme west
ern counties some years ago may
OF may not afford a predecent for
his honor's ruling. A preacher
who may be called Brown was
conducting a meeting which was
disturbed by a party of rowdies.
They were indicted and tried
under the statute on this sub
ject and though the proof of
the disturbances was complete the
jury--promptly. brought IN a yer
dict asof Lot guilty. Capt. Jim
Gudger, the solicitor, was aston
ished, as was everybody else, and
afterwards asked of the jurors
what in the world they meant by
bringing in that verdict The
answer was tnat the jury did not
believe old Brown could con-
duct a religious meeting. Judge
PEBBLES ruling may or may
not have depended upon the SUI.

SHIPS AND LIGHTNING,
More Vessels Struck Than People Hear Of
or SuDD0Se,

In spite of the popular impress
sion to the contrary ships remote
from the land are seldom damaged
by lightning, although some of the
most awe-inspiring displays of at.
%mospheric electricity are frequent.

them. .
Standing rigging, and even parts
of the running gear, are now made
of steel wire, and this substitute
for the old-fashioned hemp serves
the purpose of lightning conduct.
or when the ship is not fitted with
such all aid to safety. The cleo
trio currents is conveyed down the
wire rigging, and reaches the sea
through the vessels metal hull.
Damage occurs only if the current
be interrupted on it's way to earth.
In a comparatively large proper
ton of instances the fore-royal
truck is struck frequently, aud the
mizzen least of the three.
Very serious casualties under
this head occurred to warships and
merchant vessels in the days of
wooden hulls and hempen rigging.
x In July 1902, as 10 ships
of the East India Company were
trying to round the Cape in the
vicinity of Algoa bay, homeward
bound, two of them, the Britannia
and the Bombay Castle, we're
struck by lightning, The fore
mast of each was soon %enveloped
in fames, and the masts had to be
cut away in order to save the
ships and th-ir combustible car
goes. A heavy gale was blowing,
the night was dark, and the other
ships of thu fleet, which were hove
to at the time, were witnesses of
this thrilling incident.
Many vessels are now fitted with
lightning conductors of approved
types, lest the wire rigging should
fail to carry off the electric cur
rent. In May, 1896, shortly after
s. severe thunderstorm, accompa-
MED by lightning and rain, in 3
degrees south, 81 degrees east, the
P. and O. steamship Victoria had
q sudden increase of deviation
amounting to six degrees in both
the standard and the wheelhouse
compasses, and later it was dis
covered that the lightning con-
ductor on tle fore had fused. The
ship must have been struck by
