A remarkable phenomenon wis witnessed on Harrison street Friday afteruoon. About 3 o'clock a little thunder shower, or what up- peared to be only @ little shower, passed north of the city. The cloud was not wuch Sunday school at | larger than the figurative “man’s hand,” but it created considerable atmospheric disturb- ance and was accompanied by a torrific roar- ing. As far down tne strect as Foster's greenhouse there was no rainfall at all. The first intimation the residents of the lower portion of the street had of any moisture in the vicinity was the appearance of a solid wall of the liquid coming down the street, It was first observed by a gang of carpenters at work on a new house a block from the end of the paving. They hastonea down to get their tools and lumber from the street, but before they succeeded a river of water the full width of the strect was rushing by. Two feet back from the first advancing ripple the flood was six inches deep in the center of the street, and at the sides it was overflow- ing the curbing and spreading over the side- walks. Such a vast body of water overflow- ing the dry and dusty paying presented a re- 1t continued to run and during the time & much larger quantity of water descended the street than during the heavy rain on Monday afternoon. evidently a miniature clouaburst or rspont in the vicinity of Mynster rs, and a8 the street drains the larger of the territory In that vicineity it was compelled to carry off the contents of the cloud. ‘The sewers carried off the water effectually, and no damage was done, DAME NATURgS DEATH TRAP A Gulch in Wi by Ti e SMALL AND ?}EAT ARE THERE. i1d Animals Fall sands, Forest Denizens of All Sizes and De- scripuions Within the Grasp of the Deadly Gas Never Bycape Alive.

In the hold of the steamship Yemassee says a Charleston, S, dispatch, the dend body of James Dulfy,a bookbinder, aged twenty-three, was fouad in an ad- vanced state of decomposition and hor- ribly mutilated, presumably by himself in his death agonies, James Dufly, John Dunn and George Scott, all young men in their twenties, stowed them- selves away in the coal bunkers of the Yemussee in New York in order to get back to Charleston, which place they left notlong ago in search of work. On the morning of the second day out Scott and Dunn eame dut of the bunkers aund were put to work, but Duffy re- mained in hiding. When found the body was entirely nude and was swolen and purple. The compurtment was hot as an oven and in his search for air Duffy had stretched his head through the lattice about the crank pit, where it became fastened. Suffocating in the roasting atmosphere the man must have gone mad, His flesh was torn by his nails and his legs and body were covered with contusions and bruises, A Modesty Woo r, Merchant Traveler: **Mabel,” said the young man bashfully, “do you know I think your mother is a wonder- fully fine woman.” “I am glad to know that she has won your esteem.”’ “Do yoi think that T have succeeded in making a favovable impression on her?” “I don’t know of any reason to be- lieve the contrary.

Mysell and others of the survey discovered it on the 17th of last month, while completing our work. “Death gulch is a ghastly region, { where poisonous gases escape in such quantities that they kill whatever they | come in contact with. It is situated | about fourteen miles south of the mail voute from Lamar river to the little mining camp of Butte City, and is only about three miles from Soda Butte creek. SULPHUROUS ODORS. “As you approach Death gulch the odor of sulphur becomes very notice- able, and as you get near to it you ex- perience o decided irritation of the ungs. The gulch ends in a ‘scoop’ about two hundred and fifty feet above Cache creek, a phenomenal stream that winds its way over a bed of natuval glass. “In the lower end of the depression which is a V-shaped trench about sev- enty-five feet deep, we found the fresh body of a large silver-tip grizzly. Be- side him was a smaller bear of the same species in an advanced stage ot decom- position. Only a few feet away, and seattered at intervals, were the skele- tons of five more bears and the bones of an elk, v “This was not all.that was discovered, however. In the bottom of the pockot were found the fresh remains of several rock hares, a number of squirrels, and other small animu There were myr- iads of dead butterflies around, 100, and anumber of other mountain insects. NO MARKS OF INJURY. ““We looked the grizzlies over care- fully, but could nbtfind any bullet holes or other marks of injury. There'were no marks of violence. The only thing was a few drops of blood on the nose of the more recently dead bear. *‘There was atcinnamon bear about thirty feet away,from him, on the other side of the gulch..The body was pretty far gone. The diteasses of the others were almost denuded of flesh. t was very plain from the smell of the gas about that- they had been as- phyxiated, just as a man is in a room where the gas is turued on. Itsmelt just like the gas from a defective pipe in the street, only stronger. We no- ticed the effect, and began to have a dull, heavy feeling, which we overcame atintervals by going up the sides of the depression for better air. VARIABLE DENSENESS OF THE GAS. *It is a well-known fact that this gas lies clese to the ground. A man walk- ing across the gulch would not teel the effect half so much as a bear. But if he stooped down or walked on all fours, then he would 1nstantly notice the gas, and die in a mighty short time. ‘‘None of us ventured to go clear across on our hands and feet. We were fully persuaded that we could not stand it, but that, like the bears, we would be asphyxiated unless rescued by our com- panions. *We were too much surprised and too much in awe of the horrible Death gulch to then make all the tests we could ve done. We could, for in- stance, have lighted a mutch and tested the qualiti of the gas, but we were afraid. We thought it might burn up the region, or that there might be an explosion. The matter so weighed upon us, however, that on the 20th ult. we walked more than fifteen miles back from our camp to take another look at the gruesome place, A STRUGGLE FOR LIFE. “There was a deer in the gulch this time, and he could not have been dead more than a day. KFrom the deep im- prints of his feet in the bottom of the guleh it was evident he had floundered around in a vain attempt to get out, The body of the ance-fresh grizzly had ad- vanced in decomposition, and was slightly offensive. Some more dead rock hares were also found. “The gas, however, was not_escapin 50 strongly as when we fivst discovere the place. The exudations did not af- sect us so much. Then we tested the hollows for carbonic acid gas with lighted tapers, but there was not enough to catch fire. There was a strong wind prevailing at the time,and ' this may have bad something to do with it. Our tapers were blown out and the gas, as we believe, was blown away, i “There was still a strong smell of sulphur and a choking sensation of the lungs, however, @specially when we stooped down. A “From what We'saw we were per- suaded that the gas came forth in ir- rogular volumég.' Sometimes there would be a_lot of gas, and sometimes there would not be nearly so much. “A visit to the grounds below the sco0p, ton, was productive of an impor- tant discovery. We found there sev- eral scattered remhins of wild animals, which had evideptly been washed down the scoop by frekhéts, These fresnets ocour every spripg, and sometimes oftener, owing the variableness of the season, and .when they come they carry everything before them. HUNDREDS OF THUSANDS KILLED, ‘It was, therefore, bighly probable, in fact, proved almost to & certainty, that this death gulch had been filled und emptied time after timne, through many years, perhaps reaching hund buck, for all we know,and occurring two or three times a year,” “What if a man,or crowd of men should huppen to cross it when the ges is us thick as it could be? Would they all die a horrible death?” *Luckily the place has hitherto been far off the trails of white men, If any Indians ever unwittingly ran into it at such times, they doubtless met the fate of the wild unimuls that bave died there by hundreds. “The guleh is & natural death’ trap. 1f & deer or au elk gets in there, for in- stance, he naturally attracts a bear, and when the latter goés in for his prey he TIME TABLE OF THE LAKE MA} as Follows: 510 §.4u Trains Leave Broadwal 74D Au M. 840 0,40 10,49 ) M.

They are powor- less, 80 with ¢ Charles Lyell tells of a valley in Java which no traveler could cross.and where the bones of hundreds of tigers and birds were to be found. Whole herds of cattle have beon suffocated, 100, by gas from the voleanoes of ileua: dor, but till now it has not been known that there was a place anything like it on the North American continont. “The discovery is o important that it cannot fail to atiract o large attention from the scientific world. No doubt,too, it will have many visitors. ‘The whole region thereabouts is a very strange and fuscinating one. A GLASS-LINED RT . “Not the least remarkable is the glassy bed and bunks of Cache creck. to which I aliuded a while ugo. The water is clear and cold and poer sour with sulphuric acid. The icious residue formed by the -decomposition of the rocks from acid vapors is vhe eveek hed.
