BACKED HER CLAIM.
Settlers Sqnelolird a Man Who Tried t
Cheat a llrnv. Vi'otnan.
A cliaraclcristis ir.julent of bordo
life occurred here the other <lny. At th
time of tho rush onu of tho choicest uvtti 1
able lots in tho l -art of the in*onde<
towns was taken by a young lady fn.n
Kansas named Blalio, She held it for 1
few hours until the worst of the rusl
was over, placing her stakes at the fotr
corners, when she left it temporarily t(
go to a nearby restaurant to get sorao
tliinjf to eat.
Vv'nen she roturnod, lesti than half ai
hour cfterward, what was her surpnw
to Ctß 1: r lot in the por.ncssiou of a big
rough looking fellow named Jim Dunn
whose reputation was not of the best
Dunn had torn down Bliss Blake's hand
kerchief, which she had placed at oni
comer of the lot, and also pulled out al
her stakes. With a spade he had dug 1
shallow trench, outlining a cellar. Witl
this "improvement" he triumphantly
announced himself the owner, turning 1
deaf ear to nil Miss Rlako's entreaties.
The young lady cried and made com
plaint to other settlers, but in the busth
of tho moment no 0110 gave heed to her.

REWARD FOR A SNAKE.
The Superintendent of the Philadelphia
Zoo OOers SIOO For a Specimen.
A new snake has been discovered by
reedbird hunters down in the Neck, and
all the small boys and many men are
searching night and day for a specimen
in order that»they can secure the $100
offered by Superintendent Brown of the
Zoo for the capture of the first reptile of
the species.
I The snakes at the Zoo are fed on frogs,
and last week Mr. Brown learned from
the collectors that a snake about 5 feet
long witli a lion: on tho end of its tail
had been playin-r havoc with the frogs
down in the Neck and had made the
frog market very tight. The hunters
say that the snake has a way of gather
ing in a whole frog family at a gulp, and
it was in this way that tho new snake
was discovered.
On Tuesday last James Martin, who
lives near tho end of Twelfth street, was
out in the ewamp with his gun and dog.
He had good luck, and his pockets wore
filled with fat reed birds and a brace of
1 plover. He started home, but his atten
j tion was arrested by a psculiar noise,
; and his dog "stood" as if there was game
in sight. Nothing appeared, but the dog
seemed to, bo transfixed. Martin inves
tigated and found about a dozen frogs
on a small hummock in the swamp aud
a largo snako was grabbing them right
and left. Martin says that tho snake
. had a very large mouth, was fully 5 feot
j long, und that there was a horn on the
i end of his tail which ho used to kill the
j frogs. After strikintr the frogs he would
1 proceed to eat them. Martin was so
! dumfounded at tho unusual spectacb
that lie had iiis gun with him,
and the snako wriggled oil.
Superintendent Brown says he will pay
$100 to the person who brings him a
snake that comes anywhere near being
like the one described by Martin.—Phil

Enforcing tho Antitrust Law.
Circuit Attorney William Zachritz
Tuesday filed 308 suits in the circuit
court against corporations that have
failed to comply with the antitrust law
framed and passed April 2, 1801. This
law requires all corporations to file affi
davits once a year, stating that the firm
Is in nowise connected with a trust or
pool. Several suits of the same nature
were brought last year, but the delin
quents came to time, and they were dis
missed.
Mr. Zachritz said to a reporter last
night in regard to the cases that they
would be pushed against every violator
this time. "1 cannot pee," said Mr.
Zachritz, "why corporations should not
be made to comply with the law tho

i:o Took Cccd Alrr, ttsfl When Quiet Was
Once !VTot-e — Citoved Ho Counted Up Five
Dead Bodlc: — ?.'o Wonder He Is Called a
SaSnaat Story Teller.
A group of men wcro sitting on the
hotel porch "swapping" yarns. "Some
people do not believe in hick; well, I do,
and I'll tell yon why," paid the traveler
as ho paused r.nd deliberately put his
right leg across tho knee of his left aud
glanced pensively down the street. The
group pricked up their cars, for the
traveler was a famous story teller, and
all rightly judged that his remark was
but tho prelude to the recital of one of
his adventures.
"When I was soma 15 years younger
than I am now," continued tho traveler,
"I was exceedingly fond of hunting.
One fall my love of this sport led me to
take a hunting trip in the Rocky moun
tains. I vru3 ambitious aud wanted to
add a grizz'y bci'.r skin and a few elk
heads to my collection of trophies, and
incidentally, if it might be, to let day
light througn an Indian or two.
"Well, for two weeks I hunted with
out getting sight of hair or track of elk,
bear or Indian, and the thing was be
ginning to get monotonous, when one
afternoon fcunu mo traversing the bot
tom of a deep canyon. I was alone, my
guide having remained in camp on ac
count of a sprained ankle. Tho bed of
the canyon wstf rent with deep fissures
and covered with great rocks, and its
sideß were seamed and cracked. A few
stunted shrubs and trees, of the kind tho
elk is fond of feeding upon, grew along
tho sides and bottom of the canyon, and
I hoped to find some of the animals here
cropping tho tender twigs. At last, just
as I rounded a high point of rocks, I
caught sight of an elk, a noble fellow,
standing some. 10 xods up the canyon
with his face toward me. He was nos
ing the air suspiciously, and I feared
that I would not'get a shot at him unless
I was quick about it. Accordingly I
threw my rifle to my shoulder, and tak
ing hasty aim at tho broad, flat forehead
fired.
"I wa3 totally unprepared for tho
start ling effect of that shot. Almost at
tbe instant my finger pressed tho trigger
there came a pu2 of white smoke from
behind a rock some 20 rods up on tlie
opposite side of the canyon, and I saw an
Indian leap to his feet only to fall back
dead, while at the game moment a pierc
ing eeream, seemingly coming from di
rectly over my he:'.d, caused me to look
quickly up. In tho midair, with great
paws outstratched and long, sharp nails
extended, I beheld a mountain lion ap
parently about to drop on my head. I
bounded to one side. As I did so my
blood almost frose with horror, for I
had jumped directly over & rattlesnake,
which now lay jici tw#* feet from me,
with his head reared ready to strike.
"Before I could mal:e a movement to
defend myself from this new danger
down upon the snake fell the body of the
lion, crushing out its life. The lion
rolled over once or twice and then, to
my surprise, lay still. I had not had
time to recover from the terror and as
tonishment can:ed by these startling in
cidents when my ears were greeted with
a terrific bellowing, and looking up the
canyon I saw tiio al]c charging down
upon me. I whirled about, intending to
seek safety in flight, when, to my utter
confusion, not a dc~ea fe6t away and di
rectly in the path I must pursue if I con
tinued my flight a monster grizzly bear
reared himself v*> oa his hind legs and
with wide open Kcuth rushed for me.
I was in an awful situation. I could see
no possible way of escaping. On the
right hami*was the perpendicular wall
of the canyon and oa tho left a deep
chasm. Before wrs tho arrizzly bear and
behind thorußhingc-lk. Death faced me
whatever way I turned. I trust I may
never feel the horror of that moment
again. Thegrizsly bear sprang forward
to seize and crush out my life with his
strong arms, aud t'uo elk gave a mighty
bound, hit huga boras lov/ercd ready to
transfix my body.
"At that moment njy heart seemed to
sink into my boois, and I fell flat upon
the ground. With v crash like that of
the collision of two the ani
mals met over :ny prostrate form. Tho
terrific momentum of tho elk bore him
self and the bear ever my body. For
about five seconds thero was a tremen
dous struggle; then ' both beasts fell,
locked together, to the ground, and in a
moment more had expired. One of the
sharp prongs of the horns of tho elk had
pierced the heart of the grizzly, and the
elk's neck had been broken by the bear
In his death struggle. I bounded to my
feet, not knowing whether to run or
stand still, so sudden, so terrible and so
many had been the dangers which had
threatened me. But everything was
quiet, and all my foes were dead.
"On investigation I found that my
rifle ball had struck the elk ot the base
of the horns, where the bone is thick
and hard, and after partially stunning
bim had glanced diagonuliy across the
canyon and pierced the brain of the In
dian, who, concealed behind a rock, was
about to fire upon me. The shock of the
ball had been sufficient to deflect the
aim of the Indian enough to cause him
to miss me and to pierce the heart of the
mountain lion just at the moment he
sprang upon me from a cleft in the rocks
above my head. The lion landed upon
the rattlesnake and crushed the life out
of him before he had had time to strike,
and the elk and the bear in their eager
ness to kill me had destroyed each other.
"I oall that a lucky shot, at least for
me, because it saved my life five times
and was the death of an Indian, a grizzly
bear, an elk; a rattlesnake and a moun
tain lion."

A MATRIMONIAL PUZZLE.
It Took a Synoil to Decide Which Man She
Had Wedded.
The misfortune or having a "double"
who so closely resembled Thomas Mc-
Cobb that his own wife could not toll
ono from tho othrr resulted in such a
furoro in tho United Presbyterian con
gregation thnt h:-i<:bni!(l and wife were
both dismissed. The right of ■ man to
wed tho sister of his deceased wife was
also a feature of tho c.tsr.
McCobb and William Clyde of the
Shenango United Presbyterian congre
gation looked so mnch alike that the
session, tho presbytery aud finally the
synod itself had trouble over it. They
were both members of the Shenango
congregation. Thomas McCobb had
three pretty coi-sins iv Philadelphia and
admired them all. He became engaged
to the eldest. When she rejected him,
the second sympathized und married
him. In the course of time sho died.
Her younger sister, having in the mean
time becomo rich by a fortunate invest
ment in oil lands, had been living with
the McCobbs tot several years und con
tinued with Thomas McCobb and his
parents and tho children. By and by
Newton Fletcher happened to be over
in Greenville ono day when a justice of
the peace pointed to Thomas McCobb on
the street aud said:
"1 married that man an hour ago to
Miss Blank," naming the youngestof tho
three sisters.
Newton Fletcher camo home, and the
news soon spread among the congrega
tion that Thomas McCobb hud married
his deceased wife's sister contrary to the
rules of the church. The session of el
ders took it up. Thomas denied it and
said it must havo been William Clyde.
The justice of the peace was confronted
by all concerned iv tha presence of the
session.
"That's the man I married," he said,
pointing to William Clyde. -William de
nied it.
"Then it must be that other one."
Thomas denied it too.
"That's the woman, anyhow, and that'n
the bonnet she had on. She must know
whom I married her to."
The woman looked from Thomas to
William aud back again aud stood mute.
Sho didn't seem to know which was the
husband.
The case was appealed from the ses
sion to the presbytery, and when they
were all ready to try it somebody had
stolen the records out of one of the pews.
When they finally did decide it, it was
taken to the synod on appeal. Then it
was decided that McCobb was tha hus
band, and he and the wife were both dis
missed from the church. —Jameßtown

A BIG CRYSTAL MIME.
Unexpected Discovery of a Deposit Which
Is Without a Rival.
If somebody should find a diamond as
big as a football, his discovery would
hardly be more unexpected than ono
which haa recently I: sen made in Utah,
relating to a kind of crystals, however,
far less precious than diamonds. Tho
discovery referred to is that of a deposit
of selenium found near tho Fremont
river in a moundlike elevation formed
by the washing and wearing away of
the clay and sand surrounding it,
Selcnido crystals are formed from the
rare element selenium, which is related
to sulphur and was discovered in ISI7
in the refuse of a sulphuric acid factory
by the celebrated cuemist lierzelius.
In its vitreous form selenium is some
times employed for optical purposes.
Many years ago little medallion por
traits of Berzclius were occasionally to
bo seen cast in this cubstanco which he
had discovered.
Selenium has boon found in small
quantities in nativo deposits, notably at
Culebrns, in Mexico. But hitherto the
selenido crystals obtainable huve been
small, being "measured by inches and
weighed by ounces." Now, howover,
they have been obtained in the Utah de
posit weighing as much as 1.000 pounds.
Many tons of these crystals have been
taken from the mound. Some of them
are 4 aud even !i feat in length, with
faces 6 inches broad. One huge crystal
had 19 small ones projecting from it.
As far as known, this unique deposit has
no rival iv the world.
A Statute at tl-.o Fair.
"The great educational motive of the
Chicago fair," laughs a returned visitor
to the exposition, "has missed in one
particular. On all the maps in tho of
ficial guidebooks, to which everybody
on tho grounds must pin his faith from
the beginning to the end of his stay, the
statue of the 'Republic' is written 'stat
ute.' Guidebooks bought in the early
weeks of tho fair show tho same blun
der, which has remained uncorrected in
later editions, and considering tbat this
is a common blunder among persons of
small education, arid that the fair and
all that pertains to it are regarded as in

FOUND ON THE TRAINS
A MAN WHO FOR FIFTEEN YEARB HAS
BEEN PICKING UP THINGS.
A Items From 1 lie Notebook of Char
lie—People Who Forget Portable Prop
erty— Umbrellas Head tho List of For
gotten Belongings,
I Whenever during the daytime a New
York. New Haven and Hartford train
rolls into the Grand Central depot a stoop
shouldered, little man, with kr.en gray
eyes and a beard that doesn't grow with
sufficient luxuriance to require frequent
trimming, strolls down to the end of the
platform. When tho train stops and
while the most laggard of the passengers
are still leisurely alighting, he hops nim
bly on the rear platform of tho last car
and proceeds to literally "go through"
the O'ain. Sometimes a much excited
passenger who Ims suddenly recollected
that he has forgotten something rushes
madly back into the train and discovers
his portable property in the hands of the
little man. Then, if he is of a suspicious
disposition, ho glares and scowls at the
little man, aud sometimes pounces upon
him and indignantly demands to be told
what he is doing with "that."
Then a tired look comes into tho little
I man's face und ho mildly explains that
he is employed by the company to search
incoming trains for articles left behind
by past'jnger:;, which he conveys to the
lost property room, where the owners
can always get possession of them again
by furnishing presumptive evidence that
the things belong to them.
When Charlie—that is what the other
employees about tho depot call him, al
though he has another name which ai>
pears on tho payrolls of the company—
first began this work, his beard wasn't
tinged with gray, and he wasn't a bit
stoop shouldered. That was 19 years
ago. All these years, from 6:30 in the
morning until 0:30 at night each day, he
has been picking up things that Careless,
passengers have forgotten to take with
them when they left the train.
It would make any man stoop shoul
dered to bo continually looking for
things that long. But his eyes are as
keen as ever, and his honesty is still proof
against all temptations. If that were
not the case, he could have retired with
a snug little capital. From the pocket
books and purses and "wads" that he
has found while pursuing his unique oc
cupation ho could have slipped enough
into his own pocket to render him quite
independent.
Thero are no blanks in hi 3 daily rec
ords. Never a day goes by that he
doesn't find something that somebody
has forgotten. Ho picks up fewer things
on Sundays than on any other days, bo
cause on Sundays travel is comparative
ly light, and passengers are apt to be
less preoccupied with business cares and
therefore not so likely to forget things.
On some days his list of articles found
on the incoming trains is quite a formi
dable one.
This, for instance, is what he turned
into the lost property room on Aug. 17:
Thirteen umbrellas, two rings (one plain
gold and one with diamonds), one over
coat, one package of legal papers, one
satchel, one lady's jacket, oi.e Derby
hat, one valise, one cape, one cane, one
package of underwear, one mackintosh
and one pocketbook.
And this is what ho found on Aug. 27:
Seven umbrellas, one parasol, one shawl,
one ovefcoat, one pair of shoes, one pack
age containing a suit of clothes, one pair
of spectacles, ono purse, one iiask of
whisky and one smelling wottle.
When the articles are taken to the lost
property room, they are labeled with the
date on which they are found and the
number of the train. Nearly all the ar
ticles that have any intrinsic value are
redeemed. The rost are simply stored
away for the gnawing tooth of time to
prey upon.
Charlie is of the opinion, and surely
he may bo regarded as an export on the
subject, that everybody is liable to for
get something at some timo or other.
Umbrellas aro the articles that are most
frequently left behind on the trains by
travelers. Tho man who could devise
an infallible system by which the owner
of an umbrella would always be sure to
remember it would reap a fortune.
Charlie has triod his own wits at it, but
was forced to give it up.
He has come to the conclusion that a
state of ecstatic happiness, equally with
one of intense preoccupation, is apt to
produce forgotfulness of portable prop
erty. He has discovered that newly
married brides and grooms are quite as
apt to forget the little things they may
be carrying with them as the man who
has got so much business on his hands
he can't think of anything else. Tho
man who never travels without a flask
of whisky seldom forgets it. Perhaps
tbat is because the act of putting it into
his pocket immediately after taking a
nip has been so often repeated that it
belongs to the category of unconscious
cerebration.
It is not an infrequent thing for a man
to leave a stovepipe hat on tho rack and
walk out of the car with a little skull
cap on. But when he gets into the
streets the small boys are sure to shout,
"Shoot tho hat!" or "Where did you got
that hat?" Then he discovers tho mis
take that he has maun, but the fact that
he is never grateful to the small boys
for reminding him of it and never re-
Wards them must be regarded as evi
dence of that perversity inheritent in
human nature which bo often puzzles
the philosopher.
Charlie is of the opinion that some
people would forget their own mothers
in-law if they had half a chance. There
is one man whose umbrella he has picked
up in tho train so often that he has lost
track of the number of times. And yet
tbat same man has told him frequently
that he never leaves the house with his
umbrella that his wife doesn't say to
him, "Now, dear, be sure you don't for
get your umbrella."
Women, so Charlie has found, aro
even more apt to leave things behind
them in the cars than men.—New York

A SISTER'S SACRIFICE.
I She RaJnaltnto JUsflcjunmrne and Tartar*
to save tier Brother's Life.
One of the most remarkable and deli
cate operations in the line of what is
known as skip grafting was performed
at tho city hospital Saturday morning
by Dr. Charles ii. Barber aad several of
the houso f urgeoni. A little over two
i weeks ago Arthur Wheeler, aged 5 years,
living at 04 Herman street, was playing
near his house with some other children.
They started a bonfire of dead leaves.
While Arthur was running about the
flames, ho stumbled and fell into the fire.
His coat caught fire, and before the
flames could be extinguished his entire
breast, abdomen and one side were fright
fully burned. The boy has been ever
since the accident in a precarious condi
tion, the burns being so extensive that
no new skin ceroid form.
It was at last decided that the only
thing that could save the little sufferer's
life was to ingraft tho skin of some
healthy person en the buiued parts, and
efforts were made to secure some one to
consent to such an operation. It was
suggested at last that Miss Minnie
Wheeler, the 17-year-old sister of the boy,
would be just tho subject. Miss Wheel
er naturally'demurred at first to such a
proposition, but finally consented when
: she was convinced that her brother's life
j was at stake.
Saturday morning Miss Wheeler and
her littlo brother were taken to the City
hospital—that being considered a better
place than the home of the parents—and
tho operation was performed. Miss
Wheeler was placed under the influence
of ether, and strips of skin from both
thighs and one of the hips were shaved
off with sharp razors and transferred to
the body of the little brother. A slight
idea of the operation may be gained
when it is stated that enough of the epi
dermis to cover two square feet of the
burned boy's body was removed from
the young woman.
One piece of skin that was removed
sxtended from just above the knee fully
nine inches along tho thigh. The girl's
limbs were swatued in bandages, and she
was taken home in an ambulance, the
; boy remaining in the hospital. It is ex
pected that a new cuticle will have put
in an appearance inside of 10 days, and
that Miss Wheeler will have entirely re
covered before the Ist of November.
Nothing can be determined as to the
success of grafting the skin on Arthur
Wheeler lor 10 days to come, but it is
believed that the operation will result in
saving the boy's life.—Rochester Demo
crat and Chronicle.
CUPID IN A GRAPE BASKET.
How a Pretty and Romantic Pennsylvania
Girl Found a Husband.
A fair daughter of this town has just
closed up a little romance and is now
enjoying her honeymoon in New York
city. Miss Mildred Althoff, who was
formerly an accountant in a large manu
facturing plant here, went up to Port
land, N. V.. this summer to spend her
vacation as a grape picker in'a big vine
yard. Sho is a pretty girl and fond of
romance, so she penned this note and
tuckod it in a basket of grapes:
I am employed as a grape picker by Frank
J. Lytlu in his vineyards between Dunkirk
and lirocton In tbe town of Portland. My
home is at Willlamsport, Pa., where I am em
ployed regularly as an accountant In a large
manufacturing concern of that city. lam aa
orphan, but am well connected, having two
brothers at tho head of mines In Colorado and
an unole who Is president of a bank la Ne
braska. Next year I shall again work lath*
vineyards near Brocton, merely for recreation
aud a change of air, and if thia note should
fall into the hands of a young man who la de
sirous of making the acquaintance of a re
spectable grape picker I would like to hear
from hint.
Tho basket of grapes containing thia
letter fell into the hands of George P,
Newcomb, a young man employed as
salesmau for a New York clothing con
cent, aud who at the time the basket of
fruit was received was the guest of his
parents, who reside about four miles
from Olo;:n.
He came here, but could not find tho
pretty grape gatherer, so when his vaca
tion arrived he went to Ly tie's vine
yard. He there met Miss Althoff. The
wooing lasted three weeks, and last
Thursday they were married,—Williams

War Talk In Europe.
The war talk in Paris continues, ex
cept, of course, in the official circle.
Men as moderate and practical as Rob
ert Mitchell do not hesitate to express
the opinion over their signatures that
the peace of Europe is uot worth 4 sous.
"I regard war as inevitable," Mr.
Mitchell writes, "I believe it is near at
hand. It will break- out unexpectedly,
and perhapo against the wish of those
who brought it about."
Mr. Mitchell thinks the responsibility
will moat likely devolve on Italy. It is
worth noting that Germany is keeping
remarkably cool in the midst of this san
guinary talk. Its significance ia fully
appreciated by the Berlin press, bat
there is littlo in tho line of angry !•>
tort. The St. Petersburg newspapers also
faithfully persist iv emphasizing the pa
cifio nature of the visit of the Russian
fleet aud deny perhaps a little too
strongly any warlike signification.—New

Extinction of the Alligator.
The report comes again from Florida
that the alligator is threatened with
speedy extermination. It is estimated
that over 2,500,000 of them have been
killed in the last dozen years or so. The
alligator grows slowly, but he grows as
long as he lives, and it is said that a 13
footer is at least 75 years old. Ii let
alone, their average life is longer than
man's.—Cotton Plant.
