An error has been discovered In the printed acts of the last legislature, which shows con siderable carelessness upon the part of some one. A .JaiH- was- Introduced to change the delegate district composed of the counties of -Lewis and Webster, as arranged by the-legislature -in 1893, so as to take, Lewis put and insert .Web ster, in order that the district 'might be reliably republican and giving.to Lewis county one delegate in the legislature. As arranged by : the "'democrats "Lewis and Webster, are-' entitled ,to- 'two ..dele gates, securing -two democratic votes in the lower house,: anil, Upshur,, which' is largely republican'; gets sane; Under the attempted change-, U.pshur.and ;Webster would have got-,-two,-. -and both-republi- cans, leaving lwis- a doubtf al county. , -In" the same, bill- wasta. provision to take the county- of Morgan 'oiif,' of the delegated 'district ."with ; Jefferson , and Berkeley, as.arraged "by the democrats in '-130V and give: Mdrgan, i'w.hlch is a republican county" ine delegate The biir-was parsed,, but vetoed bv Gov xw: Corkle,-4xpon theground that, the le&ls- ature, under the state constitution, has no right to rearrange the apportionment of "members' of the legislature , except after the taking of the census, which was in 1893. The bill was passed "over thef. veta of - the'sgovernar, but :not : until after ..the senate had made some amend ments affecting the.Leiis-Webster dis trict,-, which -amendments the house Is incorrect so far as that delegate dis f ailed to concur, in, so the act as printed trict is concerned, and it is thought th& errorlwill invalidate the' entire ct,- and hat Morgan county 'willlremain'as.fixied In 1893. : -- ''' -, E.

The steam er Egyptian, .bound from ; Cleveland to MMiwaukee wilth a cargo of coal, burned to tihte water's 'edge in Lake Huron last ndight off Sturgeon Point. The fire was discovered by the Sturgeon Point life- oaving crew abouit 8 o'clock, and start ed at onee to the rescue, arriving at the burning boat at 11 o'eflcck. On the way to the steamer the lif e saving orew passed a -barge which had taken the Egyptian crew off, but the life-savers continued on their way with the hope of being able to save the 'burn ing hull. There were twelve vessels around, the Egyptian , during the early part ' of '.the fire, but by t!he time .. the. life-savers reached her they were all gone. With out help of any kind at hand, the life savers were compelled to leave the Egyptian wftfoiyut doing anytMng, after rawing about thirty-five, miles in weath er nearly to zero. None of the life-savers suffered permanent injury from the ex posure. Capt. Henderson, who . was in com mand of the lif e-eavdng crew, deserves great credit. for his heroic efforts to save the Egyptton. He might have been able to- have done something had not all the" vessels sailed away when tbe iifeboat was still two miles distant froim the burning vessel. ' The Egyptian was owned by . Nelson S. Shiiple, cf Detroit, according to the Blue Book. She "was of 1,209 net tons and was 232 feet long and 26 foot beam. She was built in , 1873 and was several y ears past the time when she was a money-maker. FLYING MACHINE Which is to Be Used in Propelling a Train. " New York, Dec. 2. A special dispatch to the World from Mount Holly, N. J., tells of . an entirely ' new field of flying machine experiment,-of , which, the ulti mate application Is not. plain. . For the past few days a flying ma chine! bought by frof. Langley of Washington, and Prof. Elfreth Wat kins, of New Yqrk, has been attached to a car on the Medford branch of the Pennsylvania railroad at Mount Holly to demonstrate whether or not the ma chine could propel a car. There is a gasoline engine in the ma chine and sufficient power has been ob tained " to drive th car at the- rate of six miles an hour. , The power is applied t6 two propellers, about four, feet long, and they make' about 800 revolutions a minute The -two professors are of the opin ion that a machine can be constructed that' will draw-a car at the ordinary rate of speed now allowed on railroads.
