The Narrow Escape of a Steeple Climb- er from an Awfal Death New York, Aug. 23.—Towns folk of Plainfield, N. J, have terrified themselves during the last four days looking at Harry Watson, a tinner, while he was at work at the top of the steeple of the Crescent ayenue church. Watson is a daring fellow who makes a living doing odd jobs where he has to climb dangerous heights without protection. He has climbed factory chimneys and scaled edifices of all sorts, until he has be- come so familiarized with the work that he mounts a stack of brick work with the same ease thut he would drink a glass of beer. Watson was busy at work yesterday afternoon, while a crowd of curious persons stood in the street below waiting for him to drop. He hung suspended from a rig composed of a chair at- tached to a couple of ropes. Around his waist he had taken the precau tion to secure another rope. In re moving the paint and other material from the tin roof Watson had used acids that had somehow got sprin kled on the ropes. The acid burned through the ropes, and without the slightest warning one of them gave way. The crowd yelled, and scarcely had their shouts died away when the Other rope on which such a sudden strain had been imposed, also gave way. The chair tumbled to the street below. Watson dangled from the rope that had been passed around his waist. He swung to and fro in the air as he cried to the ex- cited crowd below to help him. He had fallen a few feet until the slack of the rope had been paid out, but he preserved his presence of mind. He shouted crowd, but it was only when some men climbed up inside the steeple that his voice could reach them. As he swayed back and forth 190 feet from the ground, the crowd in the street looked on in expectation of seeing him drop every instant. Final- ly aladder was taken up to the top window of the steeple and pushed out and up toward hm. He man aged to reach it with his feet, and while pairs of hands steadied it be- low he loosened the rope about him and descended amid the cheers of the crowd. instructions to the Farmers Are Needy. Hays City, Kan., Aug. 24 —Owing to a total failure of a wheat crop, nd an almost total failure of corn, oats and barley, together with the prevailing stringency in money mat ters, farmers in western: Kansas are unable to purchase wheat for fall seeding. Consequently thousands of acres of fertile soil must go un- seeded unless through some source aid isfurnished. While some farmers are holding a large portion of last year’s wheat crop, they are not in a condition to help their more unfor- tunate neighbors. Banks can not or will pot luan money at this time, notwithstanding farmers can offer gilt edged security. Consequently their only resource now is to seek outside aid. These people are not paupers nor beggars, but propose repay such a debt dollar for dol- r, with interest.

In February, 1891, she fell into a cataleptic slumber that has lasted uninterruptedly until last Thursday. When admitted she was first treated at St. Vincent's Hospit- al, where she is listless, and would scarcely talk with any one. After her removal to the Insane Hospital she took food fora short time. After she went into a stupor she had to be fed by a nasal tube, and by this means since then. Dr. Frank Ray has given her from 60 to 90 our of milk daily. About three ago signs of dissolution appeared in and when the patient awakened last Thursday she was literally reduced to skin and bones. Since that time she has grown weaker aud weaker, and her physicians states to-nigt that she is not likely to live until morning. The case will go into the medical books as one of the strangest on record. weeks rapid emaciation, Carter Harrison’s Fiancee. New Orleans, La, August 23.— Miss Annie Howard, whose engage- ment to Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chicage, was acknowledged by him to-day, is the youngest child and only daughter of the late Charles T. Howard, organizer and President of the Louisians State Lottery Com- pany. She was born at Biloxi, a watering place on the Gulf coast. in Mississippi, during the latter part of the war. Invalidism in youth pre- vented her attendance at any of the large female colleges, but she was carefully educated by governess at her father’s palatial home on the Hudson, in New York. She has been to Europe half a dozen times, traveled all over the United States, and isa bright and compamonable woman of the world. She lives only a month or two out o” the year in New Orleans, but has many friends bere and is intensely popular with the masses, because of her large do- nations to charitable movements. The Howard widow, the three How- ard sons and Miss Howard built the Howard Memorial Library, the last work designed by the famous Archi tect Richardson, and erected at a cost of over $40,000, irrespective of contents. They also erected the Louisiana Historical Annex, adjoin- ing the library, which contains prob- ably the finest collection of Confed erate archives and mementos in the South. This embodies the entire private and state papers of Presi. dent Davis. public contributions, it is believed that Miss Howard retains at present the greater part of the $700,000 she received in 1887 as her interest in her father’s estate.

Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 22.—Farmer Silas Bauer of Tough creek valley, Hunrington county, who had several hundred dollars on deposit and drew it out thinking the bank might fail, sewed the bills up in the hning of his coat. Saturday while he was working in the field the coat hung on a fence post. The country is suf fering from a grasshopper plague and the insects bored hundreds of holes through the money, mutilating it almost beyond redemption. Bauer has forwarded it the pieces to Wash- ington and if he gets anything back he will bank it. Jefferson City, Mo. Aug. 23.— Lieutenant and acting governor O'Meara to day issued his proclama- tion offering a reward of $200 for the arrest nnd convietion of the un- known parties who robbed the ex press car of a St. Louis and San Francisco train near Rolla on the ight of August 17. High Carnival at St. Louis. The Metropolis of the Mississippi Valley Again Presents a PROGRAMME OF FALL FESTIVITIES THAT FOR BRILLIANCY VARIETY OUT- SHIN HE CARNINAL CITIES OF THE OLD WORLD. Paris, the most magnificent city on either continent, has for ages held the proud title of “the premier carni- val city of the world.” However, within the last ten ortwelve years an Amerean rival of no mean protention has contested for that high honor, and to-day St. Louisholds what Paris so reluctlantly relinquished, the title of “the carnival city of the two con- tinents.” Not content with the successful ex- hibitions of previous yea the Au- tumnal Festivities Association has arranged a programme for 1893 that for brillianey and variety will be dif- ficult to improve upon. The first of the great attraetions, the St. Louis Exposition, will throw its doors open to the public September 6th and con- tinue until October 21st. The world renowned Sousa’s Band has been en- gaged by the management, which is itself a sufficient inducement to crowd the magnificent building during every concert. Special attention has been given to the street illuminations, and on the evenings of August 12th, 17th, 24th and 31st, September 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th and October 3d, 5th, 12th and i9th, the most magnificent dis- play yet attempted will greet the eye of the fortunate visitor, electricity forming & prominent part. The evening of October 3d the Veiled Prophet and his followers will parade through the principal thoroughfares and immediately after the great ball, whieh has received considerable prominence throughout the world, will be held. | The 33d great St. Louis Fair and Zoological Gardens, October 2d to 7th will be the crowning week of the car- nival season.
