The course of our summer storms across the Sierras is such that they are almost avariably carried to the’ southward of us, and directly to the peaks of the mountains mentioned above. The so-called cloud-bursts are simply the sud- len condensation of the vapor forming the uds, caused by the meeting and mingling ot fo currents of alr. A current or stratum of ir colder than that carrying the clouds canses chem to suddenly condense and fall to tue ground. The reason cloud-bursts generally oc- cur in the vicinity of high mountains is because there are found broken and contrary currents of air. Doubtless there are powerful electrical changes and disturbances at the point where the two currents of air and the cloud masses meet, and doubtless these aid in the sudden con- densation of the watery vapors. Be this as it may,our people may console themselves with the reflection that we are out of the course of cloud-bursts. Long obeervation of the track of cur summer storms and the experience of many years show this, How THe OMPANIES ARE KILLING 8 GOLDEN Goosx.—Unfortanately tor us, in this year of depression, when our iron indus- tries especially are flat on the ground, the six leading coal companies of Pennsylvania bave united in a combination to keep up the price of coal and evento raise the price. Were it not for this combination the price of coal would be low thie season. Bisighssere very low by water and by rail,and mining lavor is only able to maintain ite | hemos rates in collusion with the employers. These compauies combined in March to put the price of coal trom 10 to 15 cents a ton, every month, and that programme bas been carried out st ly. During the last month the price has risen about 12 cents. A fe jaye &g0, 8 new circular was issued thre: ening a still sharper advance. This advanca, let it be understood, is entirely forced, the demands of the manufacturing interest having falling oif immensely, and the orders for the winter’s fuel as yet coming in very slowly. The depression at this moment in the coal trade is great, and the companies have simply them. selves to thank for it. So many collieries have suspended that there are said to be froim 10,000 to 15,000 miners now out of employment. Other industries in this condition wouid lower prices ncourage & demand. Of course, the iron indnstry cannot reeume fall production at the low prices if coal is maintained at prices higher than last year’s, or ev as high. The coal men are simply tanding in = tt iy i A Lapy WILLs A Lanor AMouNT To A Mit- WAUKEE PRIEST FOR Savinc Mass.—One of the most in’ ing will cases, says waukee Wi: ’ ve - ; at ever was brought before oe ap Re ay eS clothes on, abd singular as it may seom, the | of Portage City, Thursday afternoon, it being body was tn an erect position, the head barely | the contested will of Mrs. Elizabeth Jennings, a Catholic lady of that city, of large means.

The remainder (estimated at $9,000) the lady devised to ‘desti- tute deserving orphans.” Mrs. Jennings’ mother contested the will,on the ground that the portion regarding payment for mass-saying was void, because contrary to public policy; and the part referring to ‘destitute deserving orphans” was void because of its uncertaint: The priest, however, was determined to hold bis bequeathed rights as long as the law al lowed, and cot uently secured able counsel.

J was surprised to see appoar, from a black cabinet, people who spoke to me; then enor- mously long rats ran along the farnitare,always by the side.

Afterward falling stars appear at a moment when I least ¢: them, always from the ‘nternal to the external angle of the eye, which forced me i ively to turn niy head. Simultaneously I was [seized with trembling of the skin and a feeling of unspeakable horror. In the place of darkness, or during the night. my room appeared itlaminated as by a flash of lightning. At last, seeing that ‘ing would arrest the mysterious t, [had recourse to the datura strumonsum, or thorn apple of Pera. ae jerful e 4 n years ago. a strong dose of it, four or five leaves, and com- menced to write, although with some difficulty. Half an hour after the remedy had not taken effect, when suddenly a strong electric convul- sion, like fireworks, or rather like a paif of steam, ran through all my limbs, from head to foot, producing, in the entire surface of the skin, a general tremb! accom} bya definabie feelin, if I had fireworks in my eyes. I rebounded as impelled by a spring. It seemed to me I was enga; in a deadly combat between the vital morbid principles, the latt rof which endeay- ored to impose itself tyrannically, like a domi- nating power, against which all the active forces reacted with @ superhuman energy. At the same moment I became delirious, and lost all consciousness. Rad lear re retains in the delirium the domi- nant idea of restraining himself, and of endea: Oring to repossess his faculties. Neverthele: in this state the convulsions became more fre- quent. They are always accompanied with the same sentiment of fear, and the necessity of re- action and flight. The muscular force is pro- digiously increaced; he is without fatigue; the weight of the pod is no impediment to the limbs; it seems only neccessary to make the at- tempt, to ekim over the earth, as in certain dreams, The contraction of the muscles of the legs causes a sudden fall, when he becomes per- fectly rigid. He realizes he has falien, when he is restored to consciousness by the shock of the fall, and he arises quickly. The nervous ex- citement is such that he is very nearly insenst: bie to pain. The figures of the most familiar persons appear furious, threatening and pro. voking; and contrary to the general sentiment of terror which one feels internally from con- cussions, one is intrepid and ready to brave all exterior dangers. The paroxysm’ commenced at half-past two in the afternoon. At ten o’clock in the evening the remedy began to take effect, and, the next day, only a great prostration is felt. The invelid attributed all the phenomena of the delirium to the gasjpro- duced in the organic tissues by the intluence of the virus.—Courvier des Etats Unis. A Mysterious Degp.—The mystery that en shrouds the horrible tragedy enacted afew days ago at New Braunfels is something remarkable, even in the annals of crime. Mrs. Faust, a young married woman, during the temporary absence of her husband, seeks the house of neighbor to sleep during the night, being un- doubtedly afraid to remain by herself durisg that period in herown house. She is not aware, evidently, that personal harm is designed her, or, at least, there is no information to that ef- fe A white man enters the room where she is sleeping, and, with an axe, inflicts such wounds upon the head of the young woman as sre likely to prove futal. A young girl, the daughter of the neighbor alluded to, sleepinz in the same room, is awakened re. the noise made, and to prevent detection the brutal flend strikes her such blows with the same implement as have terminated in her death. It is shown and believed that Mrs. Faust was the intendad yietim alone, but between the murderer and Giscovery one more or less would make but difference. No robbery was perpetrated, and murder alone seems to have been the purpose of the villain. The community where the deed was commit. ted was thrown into such a state of excitement as to be unable to trace out anything. Indeed, no clue whatever can be obtained to the affair. It is not known that the young woman had an enemy who would commit such a hellish deed, and the purpose of it is shrouded in mystery. She was but about 20 years of age, and only a short time married. ad there been any pre- vious a committed upon her, or indignity offered, it is likely that some mention would have been made of it. If there waa a jealous nd frustrated lover in the transaction no ailu- sion is made to the matter.
