McJIitflit MuHt litl Out fur His Onn
liigb Point has a sensation
over Prof. Harry P McNight,
who has a kind of School of
-Science called the Haniner
School. Many of the best citi
zens of the town are thoroughly
disgusted with him and have re
solved in public meeting that
the Hamner School is inimical
to the morality of the community.
A scandal exists, too, as to him
and a young lady pupil. Mc
Night and the girl have sworn
out warrants against chief of
poliece Bonnet and others for
slander as the authors of reports
in circulation. The trial was
today.
HEC Bryant writing to the
Observer seems to think Mc
Night is in danger of lynching
if he does not shake off High

Little beudings are in prog

The "immovable" hills are bow
ing and scraping to each other
constantly. Every evening, as
the dew settles in the valleys be
tween them, they nod one to an
other. So, likewise, do the
mountains, even to a greater
extent. Gravity is tugging all
the lime. And in London, too,
where earthquake sensations are
practically unknown, the earth
beuds daily, and the buildings,
like the hills and mountains, nod
to their friends opposite when
the morning traffic begins. On

take a rest, excepting in such
places as Petticoat Lane, where
business flourishes in as lively a
fashion as in Paris. Heine said

'Wednesday morning at 10:550
o'clock the editors boarded the
steamer America of the Interna
tional Navigation Company's
line, for a trip around the his
toric Niagara Frontier. Martin
C Ebel, general manager or the
company acted as guide and gen
eralissimo for the party.
"Starting from the foot of
Ferry street, the boat steamed
toward the picturesque Canadian
shore and thenco under the In
ternational Bridgo, a famous
structure, to the Canadian chan
nel. Steaming through that side
of the river one has a delightful
view of the surrounding country,
bucolic Canada on one side and
Grand Island with its beautiful
summer homes on the other side.
The boat passed historic spots
and finally touched at Slater's
Point, where too party disem
barked and took trolley cars as
the guests of tho Niagara Falls
fark and Kiver uailway lor a
ride around the upper and lower
rapids, the great cataract and
the gorge.
"As the car slaits out one gets
a graud view of the tribulent
waters and the spray of tho Ca
nadian Falls in the distance.
Passing through the old village
of Chippewa the trolley line runs
through the little wooded Duffer
in Islands and thence on the
very brink of the r'vor to the
great hoseshoe fall. There a stop
was made for luncheon at, the
Dufforin cafe and sightseeing.
Continuing the cars pass down
through Canadian Niagara Falls,

of the gorge to Queenstown, a
quaint li'lle village which was
once the, gateway to this section
of Canada. Geu." Brock's monu
ment and other historic points

"From Queenstown tho party
crossed the new Suspension
Bridgo over the river to Lewis
ton, an old American village of
historic interest, and from there
took the cars of tho Niagara
Gorge Road for the return trip
through the gorge. This ride i's
one the finest, if not the finest,
'n the world.
"Descending trom the gorge
tho party visited Niagara Falls,
N. Y,, now one of the most en
terprising cities in New York
State, obtained a fine view of the
upper rapids and American falls,
raid then took cars across the
new cantilever bridgo to the
Canadian side, and thence back
by the Canadian liue to Slater's
Point, jvherothey again boarded
the boat, after a trolley ride of
about b'( miles.
"The trip was full of interest

the party disembarked after a
most enjoyable day on the Nia

Most Itemnrknlj'e Mountain Occurrence,

A Koyser, W. Va., special of
the 18th to the Morning Star
says:
"An avalanche, unparalleled
in the West Virginia mountains,
occurred last night at Hopetille,
Grant couuty, thirty eight miles
from hero. Great sections of
the mountain side along the Po
tomac river, for two miles,
rushed down into tho beautiful
valley. Thousands of tons of
forest trees, immenso rocks and
earth came down and the home
of Mrs. Andrew Ours, a widow,
was completely wrecked. The
three-year-old daughter of Mrs.
Ours was instantly killed and
Mrs. Ours is in a dying con
dition. A little graud child,
who was spending the night with
Mrs. Ours, was grabbed by her
when the first warning came,
but escape was impossible aud
when found this morning the
grandmother was buried to her
waist in the debris, holding the
child in her arms above the
chilly mud and stone in which
she was fastened so tightly thai
after many ' efforts neighbors
found it necessary to literally
pull the bruised body out, leav
ing her clothes buried. The
child only will recover. Miss
Ours' body was found during the
day.
All day hundreds of visitors
have gone to the scene, and
others from far aDd near art
going by carriage and horse
back, there being no nearer rail
road point than Keyscr to visit
the scene of the most remarka
ble mountain occurrence the
State has ever known."

worse in wet .seasons, and when
bees abound. It rarely attacks
young or non-bearing trees.
Tho disease usually begins al
tip of a flowering twig and pro
gresses downward until it has
killed the entire branch or even
the whole tree.
Fire blight is caused by a spe
cies of microbe, Bocillus amy
lovorus. This is very similar to
tho microbe which causes ty
phoid fever and hog cholera.
As we can not get medicine ink
trees, and sprays or washes on
the outside are of no value in
this case, the only remedy is to
cut oil and burn the dead twisrs

Orchardists should watch

Unless prompt cutting out is

kill an entire orchard in a few
years. The Leeonte pear is the tree
most frequently attacked by this

A Wouderfol Clock.
An old man, weak and vory
near the grave, has justcompleted
a piece of work tho accomplish
ment of which has been his
dream, waking aud sleeping, for
the past twenty yeais. He is
Frank Bohacek, a Bohemian
watchmaker, who lives in i
broken-down building in thi
midst of a little settlement of hh
countrymen.
Bohacek has produced a won
derful clock, aud his neighbors,
who for many years have looked
oa him as a visionary, pottering
away on old cog wheels aud
springs, have seen his handiwork
and now consider him a wizard.
Tho old mau was one of Chica
go's first and best jewelers, aud
he prospered so well that early in
the '80s he was able to retire on
a small competency. Thou he
evolved the idea of his marvel
ous clock, and he worked on il
early and lato till it became al
most a part of his life.
It is a giant among clocks,
standing eightoen feet high and
measuring fiftoon feet around the
base. On its front face it has
four dials one the ordinary
twelve-hour plate, one of twenty
four hours, another with time
hands showing the day of the
year, the mouth aud the week,
and the fourth presenting a won
derfully accurate movement of
tho earth and other planets
about the sun, which is reprj
sonted by a red electric globe.
Tho moon is also shown in its
correct evolutions,and the sphere
representing the earth swings on
its own axis every twenty-four
hours, passing through the sol
stices and equinoxes with as
tronomical accuracy.
TJliirty automaton figures, rep
resenting American Presidents
from Washington to Mclvinley,
and Uncle Sam, Col umbus, Dew
ey, Franklin, an Indian aud
America, pass an opening at the
top of the clock with intervals of
two minutes between each.
Bohacek is still working on
the clock, and plans to add a
phonographic arrangement and
chimes of bells. He does not in
tend to exhibit it publicly or sell
it, but says he will be well con
tent to spend the balance of his
life attending the mechanism he
has created. Chicago Tribune
