Commonly the logs were Ubout thirty seconds in the decent from the top to the bottom of the slide, the distance being about one mile; to pre vent accidents a man was stationed mid way of tne slide, with a large horn, whose duty it was to watch the logs and in case of any accident to blow the horn and thus warn the men below of threat ening danger. On the day of (lie acci dent the logs moved very slowly, until one log was put on the slide that had aome ) tee on it, which assisted its momentum Vnuch an extent that when near the bot?m of the slide it jumped off, strik np a etump in its flight which sent it wDirling in , the-air. The man at the middle of the 'slide blew his horn, and I at nearly the same . moment the men at the foot of the slide saw the log coming and started to run. They had gone cut a few yards when the log overtook them in its rapid descent, striking them both on the head causing almost instant death. A brother of Perry's was stand ing al the top of the slide who, on hear ing the horn, exclaimed, "my brother is killed!" Perry was a married man with one ohild, and had been keeping the boarding house at Blue Bock for some time: until this winter he had driven team in the woods, but this winter was working on the slide at whioh ha met his death.

The discov ery was made yesterday, of a house full of dead uuil dying persons, lu ti.oswt.ti. em suburbs, causing a sensation. A family named Thompson lived in a little dwelling on Forty-third street. The husband is a moulder sod lias been away several days at work. A neigh bor called several times, getting no re sponse. He entered the room and tound two children lying on tbe ' floor dead; tbe mother lying partly out of tbe bed, nearly insensible; the lulaut caught between tbe bed and the wall, nearly meless, and the nursa almost azed. Another child has since ex pired. The recovery of the mother and the babe is doubtful, ft ii suspected that the terrible event may have been the result of poison administered by the nurse, who is now in jail though possi bly tbe atlair may have been accidental An iuquest will be held to-day. Dr. Reuling of the Maryland Eye and har Institute writes that the dis ease known as Egyptian or granular iu- flaaation of the eyes is spreading rapid ly through the United btutea. It some times causes blindness, and it is very contagious. He adds, "I have in many cases been able to traco the disease to the use of tho so-called rolling towels Such towels are generally touua in our country hotels and the sleeping apart ments of the working olasses, and being thus used by nearly every one, are made the carriers ot one ot tte most danger ous, and, and as regards its symptoms, most troublesome disease ot the eye. 1 therefore would strongly recommend that the use of the rolling towel be abolished, for thereby we will discard one of the great instruments for the spread of such a dangerous disease of the eye, by which thousands of working men are annuall deprived of their means of support. In the range of mountains In West ern North Carolina, known as the "Fox Ranee, a most singular phenomenon ex ists. it is a "breathing cave." in tne summer months a current ot air comes from it so strongly that a person can't walk against it, while in wiuter the suc tion is just as great. Tho cool air from the mountain in the summer months is felt lor miles, at a direct line from the mouth of the cave. At times a most unpleasant odor is emitted upon the cur rent from dead carcases ot animals sucked in and killed by the violence The loss of cattle and stock in that section in winter is accounted for in this way: They range too near the mouth of the cave, and the current car ries them in. At times, when tbe change from inhalation to exalation be fins, the air is filled with the various airs ot animals; not unfrequently bones and whole carcastea aro found miles from this plaoe. The air has been known to change materially in temperature dur ing exhalation from quite cool to uu pleasantly hot, withering vegetation within reach, and accompanied by a ter rible roaring, gurgling sound, as a pot boiling. It is unaccounted tor by scien tifio men who have examined it, though no exploration can take place. It is feared by many that a volcanio eruption may break forth there some time.
