rTlithe mill of W. T. Lane, Blue Rook,
II is county, last Thursday afternoon,

i them are as follows: The two men were

J few rods above the mill, "packing logs"
:on the ice. 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

Chicago, February 16. 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. Such
things have occurred in places and little
uoexpeotea.
