Doctors have been investigating the cause of the typhoid fever which has been so fatal in Luzerne county, Penn.

At the late electioh in the 34th dis trict of Illinois to fid a vacan cy caused by the death of the late repre tentative, a Democrat, the Republicans elected their man. They did uot nomi nate a candidate till the last mcment, and many of the Democrats stayed away from the polls, thinking that co R. pub lican was running. The scat will be con tested. In Red Key, Jay county, Indiana, a lively fight has been going on for some lime between saloon keepers and prohi bitionists. Each side has threatened the other, property owners have been warn ed by anonymous letters to guard their premises against fire, and several at tempts to burn houses have been frus trated. All insurance policies have been revoked. Considerable sensation has been cans- i ed in London by a publication that, on tbe 21st of last January, Sir Charles Wilson, commanding the expedition to Khartoum, though orders had been given to start immediately, fooled away his time till the 24tb, though the steamboats and everything necessary were ready. Had he not delayed, he would have reached Khartoum before it was captur ed. | PROSPECTIVE HISTORY. Our equipment was the same as.be fore, except that half of us carried a single 10-pound bomb instead of three 5-pound ones- We followed the shore on the southern side of the bay as fai ns Dalkey Island, which borders it in that direction. About a mile in the offing were visible the lightsofa large steamer, the first of the line. We knew that the next one lay two miles beyond her, but from that distance we could not make out her lights. Ar rived ata point almost directly above the vessel, I halted my little party and explained my plans, which were ex ceedingly simple. One of the men, bearing a 10-pound bomb, was to de scend cautiously until he was near enough to drop his burden into the funnel, after which he was to rise up ward again as fast as possible. The rest were to remain in readiness to repeat the manoeuvre if it should fail the first time. The man selected at once began the descent, and for a few moments we strained our eyes through the gloom, vainly trying to follow his movements. Presently a slight rattle was heard; there was a bright flash and a stunning report. The bomb had missed the funnel and exploded on tbe deck. For a few seconds there was dead silence, then a confusion of many vuccs; then a shot was heard, a rocket whizzed up past us and burst into a thousand points of dazzling brightness, which lighted up with noonday clearness an area of more than a mile. In the unearthly glare we could plainly see our comrade has tening upward to rejoin us. Before the intense brightness had gone out there was a second repot t, anol her rocket came hurling and screaming right among us, and burst into great, blazing stars above. The effect was indescribably magnificent, but sadly disconcerting to our plans. We were confused and daz z led, and must have been plainly visible to those on board. “Scatter, men, scatter!” I shouted as a third rocket came almost in the track of the second. It was plainly impossible to remain where we were; but in spite of the flaming, sulphurous masses that were falling like a rain of fire around me, I balanced myself for a moment while I found with my p'umb line a point exactly ever the ship. Then I loosed my 10 pound shell from its sling and dropped it. I heard the crash of it fall upon the dock, and a deep muflled explosion, which told it had broken through and burst below. I did not wait to see the end. but, striking off at* my ut most -peed, I blew a shrill blast oa my whistle to rally my followers, and held my course toward the next ship. It was easy now to make out her exact position. Evidently aroused by the commotion, though probably not un derstanding its cause, she was throw ing out luminous shells on the side nearest the land. Each of these, bursting at a loftv elevation nt a dis tauce of about half :t mile from the ship, diffused a bright light over the water, by which the distance of a mile might have been distinctly seen. The rattle of a drum beating to quarters came across the the water, and it was clear that she at least would not be caught napping. But while within a wide circle all was bl ight as day the vessel herself lay beyond the darkness, now denser than ever from the con trast. Her lights had all been extin guished, and the only clues to her po sition were the frequent flashes of her mortar and the dull reports as shell after she'd was scut up. This was the very thing we wanted. The darkness in which she was shrouded was neces sary to our success, while the intensity of vigilance with which her crew scan ned the surface of the water prevented any eye being turned toward the sky. With a low whistle I brought ull my men around me, and, in a lew words,[directed one who carried a large shell to descend low over the vessel, and make quite sure that it dropped into the funnel. lie was then to shoot away to the dark side as quickly as possible. The rest of us ascended to a greater height, keeping as directly over the doomed ship as we eould in the darkness. For a few minutes, which seemed an age, we waited, looking down. No grander or more striking spectacle could be j imagined than met our gaze; the quick flashes of the mortar, the in tense blaze of the bursting shells, the quivering light reflected from the illu minated circle of sea, and in the dis tance the rockets which the other ves sels continued to throw up. The third ship was now burning lights, too, and so brightly was the surface of the wa iter displayed that even so small an I object as the head of a swimmer must I have been seen. But we had not long j time to admire this brilliant display, j We could not follow our comrade’s ' ■ movements iu the darkness which for- [ , innately enshrouded him; but after i ; some minutes of suspense a deepi, ■ thunderous sound was heard, followed, ' -iftcr ? few awful moment*, bv loud.' confused shouting, fhc firing ceased; the light of the last shell went out like a dying lamp; and through the darkness a horrible, rushing, gurgling sound came up to our ears. “That's the last of her,” said one of the men, in awe-struck tones; “I guess that shell has blown a bole in her bot tom. Say, Captain, shall we go and try the other one? We may as well make a complete job while we’re about it,”— Modem Dadalus. SAVING FALLEN WOMAN. The Florence Night Mission will hold an anniversary to-morrow at the Univer sity Place Presbyterian Church. This institution is now in its second year and it has proved to be one of the most use ful of the charitable institutions in the city. Its work is confined to tbe reform ation of fallen women, a subject which is Btron-. ly forcing itself upon the attention of philanthropists. During the past year there have been 350 women admitted to the Home on Bleeker street, of whom about 300 have been induced to live better lives. Many of these women have improved their con ditions, in a worldly point cfview, to a marked degree. Ten have got married and gone away as the wives of farmers and others to create homes of their own in distant communities. Fir eighty sit uations have been provided in this and other cities and nearly 30 have been-we turned to the homes of their parents. It has been found that when these wo men have been brought to a realization of their condition and have ully grasped the principles of religion they become the most zealous ofChristians and lend their assistance to the authorities of the nission in extending their field of oper ations and doing missionary work among their former ass ciates. Many incidents come under the obser vation of the superintendent that are sad and pathetic. There was one cr.-c during the past year where a highly educate.:! and cultured young woman, the daugh ter ol a minister in i, distant town, came to the city on a visit. Her father took offense at her for some imaginary trans gression, an 1 when she returned the door of her home was closed upon her. At first tempted to commit suicide, she changed her mind and was about to adopt a life of shame when the agents of the mission met her ia a low concert hull, where they arc cons' ant ly doing mission ary work, and induced her to listen to their good advice and enter tbe Florence Night Mission. Surrounded by friends, her early religious enthusiasm was soon revived, and she banished all thoughts of the life she was about to lead. This is a simple of ninny i stances in which girls have been saved when just upon the brink. As a rule, the agents of tfic mission have the assistance of tf< keepers of the dives and conceit halls, •n.d in this way their work is greatly fa cilitated. The special field of the agoets of the Florence Nicbt Mission is upon the streets at night and in the low et no rt halls, whore the fallen women are most frequently to bo mot with. A great many of these women are f requent visi tors to the home on Bleeker street, and at one funeral held from there of a git I who had died 213 atlcruhd. At social gatherings at the home 200 women often attend, and during the past year 9,000 have attended prayer meetings there. Twenty-six girls about to adopt a life of shame have been saved by the agents. Nine thousand meals have also been provided tit the home. It can thus be seen what an instrumen tality for good the Florence Night Mis sion is. It costs about $4,500 ay-ear to conduct. Nearly $1,200 wis raised by voluntary subscription during the past year and the rest furnished by its founder, Charles N. Crittenden.— N 1. Graphic. G HCSI I.Y VISITS. There is an old house standing about a mile from High Shoals factory, in Wal ton county, now uninhabited and fast going to decay, that bears a very uncan ny reputation in the neighlorhood. In fact, the most intelligent pe pie in that community look upon it with horror, and no amount of money could induce ono to sleep in the house over night. Travelers after dark will go out of their way rather than pass the premises, while among the negroes the excitement almost amounts to a panic. The ,ast occupant of this house was an old man who died some time since, for be alone would consent to brave the spirits, ami sleep under the same roof with them. For years this house has borne the reputation of being haunted, and in the still hours of night hundreds of re iablc witnesses attest tint they have been aroused from quiet slum ber by tbe strangest and most unearthly sounds. In one room a mother can be heatd rocking her baby to sleep and sing ing a low, sad lullaby, doors are sudden ly thrown open, persons are heard walk ing up an 1 down the stairs, etc. But nothing unnatural has ever been seen, and when tbe haunted rooms aie invaded with lights the most death-like stillness pre vat s. A few years since a prominent minister spent the night at this house and ridiculed the idea of ghosts. But the next morning he appeared pale and haggard, and stated that he would not sleep another night beneath the roof for ail the gold in the universe.
