| | i i ¢ 4 } : cee pea I elton ON A RICKETY TOWER. Perilous Position of a Religious Fa- natic. Newark, N. J., December 21.— Situated upon a high bluff near Kearney avenue, and a short dis- tance from the town of Arlington, stands a tower 80 feet in height. The structure is about 12 feet wide atthe base and tapers toward the top, which is about 4 feet wide. Upon the top is built a box-shaped stand, 15 feet square, from which a view of the surrounding country gan be had. The tower was built over forty years ago by Llew lyn Haskel, then the owner of the prop- erty surrounding it and afterward the founder of Llewllyn Park. At fhat time he was a firm believer in the doctrines of Miller, and built the brick structure in the belief that he and his family were to ascend to heaven from its top. For years the tower has been gradually going to decay and the bricks are fast becom ing loose on the inside and dropping from their places. In fact, for few years it has been dangerous for one to attempt to ascend the circu- lar wooden steps that lead to ihe top. so loose and rotten have they become through exposure to the weather. Charles Shepherd, who lives on the back road, happened to look in the direction of the tower last mght and was surprised to see a bright | * light on the top. The night was dark and stormy. At first, he fhought it was an illusion, but on looking closely distinctly saw it move about as though held in the hand by some one. Shepherd met Harry Williams and George Oliver, and the three mon dt once started ap the steep hill through the snow for the tower. Asthey approached it they could discern two lights shin- ing upon the top, both of which ap- peared to be moved about at inter- vals. Full of curiosity at the strange sight, the three men soon reached the base of the monument erected to the Millerite folly. Williams called im a loud voice to know who was on top. He got no response to frequent ealls. They arrived at the conclusion that somebody who was insano on the subject of religion was in the tower, for at intervals they could bear such exclamationsas: “Oh Lord! My God!” etc. The man at the top evidently was not aware of the dan- ger heran in moving about, the woodwork being very rotten and lia- blo to break away from the masonry from the slightest weight. Sheppard after waiting a few minutes, conclud- ad to go all the way up and then ad- dressthestranger. When ho got him- aelf firmly planted upon the frail atracture, Shepperd asked. the man what was the cause his visit to such a place on sueh a night. The strang- @ looked upin a startled manner, and without saying a word, rose to his foet. He then walked to the cor mer ofthe top, and reaching over, ook a lantern, one of of the two which attracted Shepperd’s attention in the first place, from where it was Ranging, and put it down at his feet. fearing that tho structure would give way Mr. Sheppard told the man that he had better stand in the middle of it. Tho stranger replied that he was in the hands of the Lord, and that he would be taken care of. He was sbout 40 years of age, 5 feet 9 inches _nheight, stout, and wore a full beard. Shepperd then came down, andthe lunatic, for such he was, eame after. The moment he reached the ground he started on a run. When he reached the railroad em- bankment he gave a leap, and disap speared with a yell. Then the men sould not find him. An alarm was gent out, and the county has — scoured all day, but without succe a Lung Troubies and Was Diseases can be er étatement from Greenwood. L.

We this ps recommend it with unqu proval to the attention of the rants, corrid parts nd ap ge reproduce ee deino- crats in congress: “It is not expected that unccessary and extravagant appropriations will be made tor the purpose of avoiding an accumulation of an excess of reve nue. Such expenditure, besides the demoralization of all first concep- tions of the public duty which it en- tails stimulates a habit of reckless improvidence not in the least con- sistent with the mission of our peo- ple or the high and beneficient pur- poses of our goyernment.” This sound democratic principle— the democracy of Tilden, of Randall, of Holman and of every other wise and honest democratic leader in re- cent years who has recognized the fact that honesty and economy in the expenditure of the people's money are alike the sure foundation of demo- cratic success and the pinnacle of democratic achievement. The danger is that the great heaps of dollars in the treasury may throw a gold blindness upon the eyes of the majority. The timely and im- pressive words of the president will serve to remind the party that nev er is duty more urgent than when opportunity makes temptation the stronger. There must be ne relaxution of vigilance on the part of the watch- dogs of the treasury because there happens to bean immense surplus just within the vault. Every message involving expendi- ture should be judged upon its mer its, and scrutinized with the same care, and, if wasteful or dishonest, opposed with the same determina- tion as would be the case if the reve- nue did not produce a dollar beyond the needs of economical administra- tion. There is a surplus, but it must not be turned over to the spendthrifts and jobbers.
