From Franklin Repository.
Screaming and raving IN mani.
acal frenzy as the result of au as
sault committed upon her near
her home IN Doylesburg on Sun
day evening, June 81, Miss Cora
Miller was bl ought to Cham bers-
burg on Saturday evening by
Constable Shearer and her broth
er and taken to the almshouse
for restraint and treatment.
When the party arrived IN town
the patient began screaming loud
lv and a large crown collected
about the carriage IN Memorial
Square as a result of the cries.
She was taken to the county home
and placed in the insane ward.
On the evening named Miss
Miller attended Christian En-
deavor meeting at her home town
in Doylesburg, this county, AS
she was returning home, an un-
known man jumped from back of
p bush and grabbed her. He
placed his hand over her mouth
to stiae her cries. The girl brave
ly fought her assailant and, free.
ing herself from HIM for an IN
stant, yelled Justify. The girl S
outcry scared the man who ran
down the road. Two men re-
sponded to Miss Miller's cry for
help. They were told by the
frightened girl of the attempted
assault, and at once pursued the
rman. He had made good his es--
cape, and Me girl was not able to
say who 1T was.
Miss Miller, who was of nerv-
GUS disposition, was shocked by
the experienced she had under
gone. She broke down and rap
idly became worse. When her
reasoning became disordered il
was decided to bring her to the
county home, and if there is no
improvement ip her mental con-
dition she will be taken to Har-
risburg.
Word from the home to-day
said that Miss Miller Is little
calmer than she was on her ad-
mission. She is being closely
guarded and the best of care and
attention is given her. All day
Sunday she was highly nervous
and hysterlcal, and at frequent
intervals broke out into loud walls
of anguish and terror.

VALUABLE RELIC.
Mrs. Anna Neff, Daughter Of the Late
Rev. N. g. White, Restores Old
Pulpit Bible.

Through the courtesy of Mrs.

daughter of the late Rev. Nathan
q. White, who served as pastor
of the n cConnellsburg Presby.
terlan church from 1884 to 1864,
an old pulp bible comes again
into possession of the church.
The bible was printed IN Edln.
burg, Scotland, IN 1907, for II
large New York firm who placed
bibles for sale among the leading
booksellers OF the UnIted States.
This particular book was pur-
chased by the McConnellsburg
congregation about 1911, the year
that the FIRST Presbyterian church
was built within the limits of the
borough of McConnellsburg. 1t
might he added here that the first
Presbyterian church building
erected in McConnells Cove, was
built before the time of the Revo
lutionary War, on the Martin
farm about two miles south of
McConnellsburg. In 1911, a
brick building was erected in
McConnellsburg on the site of
the present structure, and was
used until 1868, when the present
church editice was constructs d.

THE SUMS ECLIPSE.
The Weather Favorable and Phenomenon
Witnessed By Hundreds Of People.

Last Sundays eclipse of the
sun was viewed here with much
interest and smoked glass was in
demand.
While 1t was billed as an an.
nualr eclipse-that is an eclipse
in which the dark disk of the
moon would be surrounded by a
ring of bright light, this phase of
it was not visible nearer Pennsyl-
vania than Florida. Here the
moon crept only part way over
the face of the sun; at the height
of the eclipse that visible was a
crescent.
The eclipse began hei ie about
halfway between 9 and 10 o'clock
Sunday mornlng-at 927.4, ac-
cording to the scientists. ltend.
ed at l2.41.2. The middle of the
eclipse was about II o'clock.
The phenomenon was the first
solar eclipse of any magnitude
with which our locality has been
favored for a decade or more.
The weather could not have been
better for observance of the moon
coming between sun aud earth.
The most popular way of OBJ
serving the eclipse was through
smoked or heavily colored glass
Another way to view the eclipse
indirectly, was to punch a circle
through small card and let the
sunlight through the hole to an
other card. Upon the second
card the crescent which was not
eclipsed was faithfully repfoduc-
ed. This same effect could be
notlced anywhere where the sun.
light streamed through an open
ing between leaves or some SINH
lar place.
The effect of the partial eclipse
was to produce general gloomy
appearance, the sky apparently
being overcast without any visible
cause, and the strength of the
sunlight being considerably re-
duced.
Interest of astronomers that
evening centered in an unusual
cluster of planets. Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Neptune and Jupi.
ter were visible, nestled closely
together in the West shortly al
ter sunset. This phenomenon,
1t is declared, will not occur again
for 100 years.
Among the observations made
was that of the star Arcturus,
which has been coming directly
toward the earth for ages at the
rate of more than 100000 miles a
second.

acy as Mans Servant.
As we hear the whr of the dynamo
or listen at the telephone, as we turn
the button of an incandescent lamp or
travel in an electromobile, we are par
takers in a revolution more swift and
profound than has ever before been
enacted upon earth. Until the nine
teenth century fire was justly account
ed the most useful and versatile Serv-
ant OF man. Today electricity is doing
all that fire ever did and doing it bet
ter, while it accomplishes uncounted
tasks far beyond the reach of flame,
however ingeniously applied. We may
thus observe under our eyes just such
an impetus to human Intelligence and
power as when fire was first subdued
to the purposes Of man, with the i'm
mense advantage that, whereas the
subjugation of fire demanded ages of
weary and uncertain experiment, the
mastery OF electricity is for the most
part the assured work of the nine
1eenth century and in truth very large

LlNCOLN'S JOKE.
Fixing the Responsibility For the Loss
of Harpers Ferry.

OF F1aFPeFs ferFy.
President Lincoln's jokes, especially
when perpetrated in connection with
grave matters, usually had a purpose
in them. After Lee had taken Har-
pers Ferry the president, realizing how
great a calamity It was to the north
ern arms, determined if possible to fix
the responsibility for the loss of the
important position.
Halleck was summoned, but did not
know where the blame lay. VERY

Schenck." The latter could throw no
light upon the question. further than
TO say that he was not to blame. Mil
roy was the next to be called to the
presence of the commander in chief
and to enter a plea II not guilty"
Hooker was next given hearing, and
''Fighting Joe" made a very emphatic
disclaimer of all responsibility.
Then the president assembled the
four generals in his room and said to
them: Gentlemen, Harpers Ferry was
surrendered and none of you, it seems,
is responsible. l am very anxious to
discover the man who is After strid-

"Who, Mr.. President; who is it,
asked the distinguished quartet as they
looked anxious, if not troubled
with meaning twinkle in his eye,

There was a lack of mirth in the
laugh created. and the four generals
took their departure with a determine
ton that they would not again be
placed under suspicion.
