Finally it waa gathered that he had witnessed a strange phenomenon In the sklea and desired to go on top of the build ing to pursue hla Investigations. The workers In the shop Joined the as tronomical Investigator and In singe file mounted the tortuous stairway to the roof. After a few momenta of dreadful auspense, during which lima, the stranger agreed that If his phe nomenon proved to be a flash In the pan The Observer boys should throw him off the roof, he re-dlscovered the object. Away to the westward and almost on a line with the top of the Tompkins tower there hovered that's the only way to express the curious motion a brightly gleaming light, more lurid than a star nnd larger. Aa the wu tellers gazed the light plain ly swayed, up and down, and from side to side, and still continued its progress, against a stiff breeze from refreshments he sold the boys were half a doxen bottles of beerlne. But Solicitor Clarkson was not satisfied with the result of the case and the behavior of Hasten since the last court, when he was found guilty of selling whiskey. When Hasten was convicted prayer for Judgment was continued. Yesterday afternoon the solicitor prayed Judgment and Has ten was fined 1100, Charles Williams, the negro who stole a mule from Mr. 8. M. Foard during gala week, was arraigned for the offense. He was found guilty In short order and was sentenced to spend the next half decade on the county roads. Alice Allen, more familiarly known us "Hlg 91" among her colored asso ciates and friends, was found guilty of selling liquor. Alice had been con victed in two or three cases before this term of the court, but she got off light upon another promise of good behavior.

In fact resembled a small In candescent globe suspended at a dl.isy height. He watched It and noticed that It was undoubtedly making prog ress and llnallud decided upon a closer Investigation. The watchers remained on the roof until dawn, when the stars were growing dlry and Indistinct and this strange light shone bright until It disappeared. It was evidently at a gnat distance from the earth and its movements must have been rapid, for Its unsteadiness and forward progress were Indisputably observ able.

The consensu ..f opinion of those who wltness. ii the strange light Is that It was borne by atl airship. Those who held to this view argued that sailing directly against the wind It must have hiul motive tower, and some person aboard to steer It on Its course The exposed light of a toy balloon could not have burned for so gnat a length of time, nor at such a height, tmr are Die. stars In the hnb- II of making Impromptu excursions without prearranged advertisement from the astronomical observatories.
