Great Tent Wrecked at Denver Endeavor National Convention
A sudden southeast wind toppled the big tent housing about 6 000 to 8 000 Christian Endeavor delegates in Denver. Fourteen to fifteen were injured, none seriously, as thousands scrambled to escape the collapsing structure. The tent, valued around 4 000 dollars and insured for 2 500, suffered extensive damage from wind and holes cut by retreating attendees.

FREAKS OF CLOCKS AND LONDON MADNESS STORIES
A collage of tales on clock irregularities from Strasbourg to London, recounting 2 a.m. chimes at Strassburg Cathedral in 1870 and 1875 events, the Mechlin clock at a British house, and Napoleonic era mysteries. The piece links timepiece quirks to wars, earthquakes, and alleged dangers, with notes on cathedral clock towers, historic sieges, and a curious Hyde Park quake scare. It blends anecdotes of royal fatalities affecting clocks and a French officer found entangled in clockwork after tampering. It closes with an unrelated travel ad for a San Francisco trip.
