An Enterpr1sing Female Bigamist.
From the Boston Herald, Sept. %.

A middle aged woman by the name of
Ann Needham was brought into the second
station last evening by two men, who pre-
with the request that she SHOULD be locked
up as blgamist. 1t seems the woman left
the state of single blessedness on the Goth
Needham, a sailor, who shortly afterwards
went to sea. Some three weeks after her
husband had left, Ann went to Fort War
commandant. While there, she formed the
sergeant of company. James protested
his love for her, and proposed marriage. =
Ann told him that her heart was his, and
that her hand soon should be.
A few weeks ago they were married, and
have lived together in south Boston por-
ton of the time. While there, short
time since, she learned that her first hus
band had returned, and she accordingly
sought him out, and remained with him two
nights at Hyde Park, improving the op-
pockets. She then left him, and the hus-
band did not hear of her location until yes
terday, when he was told that she was liv-
ing with a man in Waltham. He went
there and found that his wife and Gilmore
were living there as man and wife. An cx-
planation followed which resulted in their
amicablY agreeing to have nothing more to
do with woman who took new husband
every three months, and they accordingly
brought her bere ard gave her UP, as above
related. In the municipal court, this morn
ing, Ann was charged with bigamy, and
waving examination, was committed for
trial in default of bail in the sum of 5000.

A Man Runs away with LOGON, olive.

AT Centralia, ILL.,, one day last week,
yard master in the employ of the Illinois
Central Railroad at that place, saw man
on an engine that had steam up standing
on the track ready to 60 out The yard
master accosted him and told him to get off
the engine. The man replied by knocking
down the yard master, running the engine
out on the main track, and starting north
ward at a terrific rate Of speed A brake
man and fireman were lying asleep on the
engine when it started. They awokc to find
themselves flying away with all the speed
of the wind, and stranger at the engine.
On examination they found him to be
drunken stone mason of that place named
Fitzpatrick, who has been raving with de-
lerium tremens recently. The two men
were at first appalled, with terror. They
appealed to the madmah to stop, but he
needed them not, and drove the engine
faster and faster He sounded the whistle
at Central City, the first station north, but
did not for moment decrease the frightful
velocity Of the engine At the junction, just
above Central City, the whistle shrieked
again and the engine sped like cannon ball
toward Sandoval. The situation was now
becoming fearfuIy peri!ous, when the brake
man seized piece of coal and hurled it at
the desperate maniac. lie then left the
engine and turned upon the brakeman and
fireman. One of them struck him with
>iedge hammer, and after struggle he was
secured. The engine was speedily reversed
and brought back to the city.

Great Slaughter of Rats.
From the Dayton CO.. Journal.

The rats are swarmine the country west
and northwest of this They seem to be
migrating southwark, and the weather scers
predict that there will be very severe win
ter. In many places the rats have destroy
ed the corn, sweet potatoes and tomatoes );
and they have got into the orchards, and
climbing the trees, they have destroyed
much fruit. The great rat army reached
New Castine, Drake county, the other day,
and forthwith their scouts took possession
of everything eatable. A man in the place,
whose stable floor had given out, determin-
ed to have it replaced with new one On
examining into the matter, it was ascertain
ed that the space under the floor was liter
ally packed full Of rats The owner i'm
mediately circulated the word, and all the
idle men and dogs in the village were COL
lected together, and the place was sur
rounded. The Workmen then proceeded to
remove the floor, when the men and dogs
''went for EN-" and began the work Of
slaughter. They did not cease until they
had slain 81 sos rats - And the space in
which these vermin were gathered was only
20 by "a feet, and l IL feet deep! The
statement is made to us by truthful men
who witnessed the slaughter, and may be
taken for the truth, extravagant as it may
sound.

A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing.

An individual, rather genteel in lis out
ward appearance appeared at the camp
ground at New Freedom, York county, Pa.
few days since, and, getting familiar
among the brothers, and interested" in
the revival work, presented himself for the
prayers of the congregation. At night
when the ''mourners' bench" was crowded,
and when the interest of the meeting was
at its height, the individual alluded to was
observed to be quite happy, shouting
'hallelujah" at the top of his voice. Pres
emily afellow mourner felt his erring broth
er's hand gliding into the pocket of his pan
falcons, and his bocket-book about to evac-
uate its allotted place. Nothing daunted,
but shocked and mortified, the owner of
the wallet gave the alarm, and the pick kpock-
ct was imediately placed in the safe keep
of policeman present, and had an exami-
nation in one of the tents, plead hard to be
allowed to reform" and and "do better
(next time, we suppose, but his entreaties
were of no avail. He was taken to Jail to
await prosecution. We have heard of pick
pockets operating at funerals and in
churches, but this is the first instance we
ever knew of one of the light fingered gen.
try getting down on his knees for the
purpose Of making ''raise."

MIsHIcoTr The village of Michicott is
pretty lively at the present time, and Capt.
Rankin has his hands full of business in
selling goods, lumber, &c. He has a fine
stock of merchandise, which the people of
that country appreciate by doing a large
trade with him.
Mr.. Damon has been improving his hotel
premises. A new coat of paint on the
principal building, and new barn are
some of the additional inducements which
he offers to travellers. There is no better
landlord in the State than Damon, and
every one who stops at his house will agree
with us.

Death of Rev. Dr.. Hawks.
From the New York Evening Post.

Doctor Francis Lister Hawks, one of the
most prominent divines of tie Protestant
Episcopal Church in this country, died at
his residence in this city this morning.
DR., Hawks was born in Newbern, North
Carolina, on the 10th of June 1898, so that
he was we'll on his sixty-ninth year at the
date of his death. His career was varied
one. Graduating at the University of
North Carolina in 1915, he studied law,
was admitted to the bar at the age of tWen-
ty-one, and practieed for several years. At
the age of twenty-three he was elected to
the North Carolina Legislature Deeming
it his duty to change his profession for that
of the ministry, he studied theology, and
was ordained in 1927.
InlS37, with the assistance of DR.. Henry,
he founded the New York Rereu, to which
he was for some time contributor. About
the same time he established school at
Flushing, Long Island for the sons of the
clergy, but this was closed in few years
on account of financial difficulties, leaving
DIR. Hawks deeply in debt. In 1S43 he
was elected Bishop of the Diocese of Mis-
sissippi.
At the close of 1914, he removed to New
Orleans, and was rector of Christ Church,
in that city, for FIVE years. His New York
friends then offered to clear off his indebt-
edness, and asked him to return-a request
which he accepted and became rector of
the Church of the Mediator, which was soon
merged into Calvary Church.
Both as divine aud as literary man
he occupied high position. Among his
more important productions were "'Contri-
buttons to the Ecclesiastical History of the
United States.' published IS36-4l: "RO-
nance of Biography" published 1856 !;
History of North Carolina published
lS47-S; Egypt and its Monuments pub
lished lS4e, besides may works less known.
Personally he was popular divine, and had
many friends and admirers in all parts of
the country.

Desperate Encounter With 8 Deer.
From the Eau Claire Wis Free Press


One of the most daring encounters Incl
dent to hunting life-though fortunately
nothing serious-that we have heard Of for
a long time, occurred in the vicinity of Mud
creek, one day last week. Mr.. Ed. Mich
OILS, formerly of this place, started out one
morning with his dog, through piece of
woods near his farm. Scarcely had he
entered the forest, over mile from his
habitation; when suddenly up sprang
large buck from his concealment, and con-
fronting him face to face for an instant,
made fearful dash at him. Mr.. Nichols,
though having no weapon of defense, never
once thought of retreating, but firmly
grasped one of the animals gigantic horns,
while the dog took hold Of his throat. For
while the struggle between the three was
most fearful-one moment the man had the
deer down, but the deer, possessed of that
dexterity and nimbleness peculiar to them;
sprang to his feet again and again, Using. all
his endeavors in twirling his antagonists
around. Mr.. N. dare not loose his hold;
and the only hope to save his life was by
encouraging the dog, which meanwhile
hung on to the bucks throat with canine
tenacity. To worry the buck to exhaus
ton, with the assistance ofthe dog. was the
only means of conqueriug his adversary,
and after long and tiresome struggle was
finally successful, when he went and got a
club and knocked the animal in the head
At the end of the combat Mr. Nichols
clothing was entirely torn from him, and he
had nothing to cover him but the custume
which nature furnished him. He returned
home through by-ways, and called Justify to
his wife to furnish him with clothing, and
then returning he brought his venison
home, which, after being dressed, weighed
over 200 pounds. When we take into con-
sideration the fact that Mr.. n is a very
small man, weighing only about 100 pounds,
this was courageous undertaking, and
courageously did he meet it.

The Lock Game-A $1,000 Bet.
From Che Watertown (Wis.) Democrat.

A rascally swindle was last week played
on Minnesota farmer, who was going East
with his family, on the cars of the Milwau-
kee l. St. Paul Railroad. The farmer had
sold his land, received his money, which
amounted to something over a thousand
dollars, and started for the East. He got
along very well until he approached within
few miles Of the Watertown Junction.
when he found himself surrounded By set
OF sharpers and rogues, whose outward ap-
pearance indicated them to be gentlemen:
They saw their game and fastened on to it.
After cOnversing with the farmer for d
while on general matters, they began to
talk about money, one Of them remarking
he had little sum of thousand or SO for
which he had no particular use-iust as
soon lose it as not. A lock was then pro-
duced, and bet of five dollars made that
the farmer could not open it, and the mo-
ney put up. The farmer took the lock,
readily opened it, and won the money
This excited him, and another bet of a
thousand dollars was offered that he could
not do that again. The farmer eagerly
took the bait, supposing he was about to
double his pile in minute. The amount
was again put up and placed in the hands
of a confederate, who stood by, apparently
disinterested The lock this time was slyly
fixed, SO that it could not be unlocked, and
handed to the verdant rural operator He
tried and tried, but it was no go-the
spring could not be moved. After a few
minutes, and as the train neared the juno
ton, the holder of the stakes decided that
the bet was lost, handed the money to his
fellow conspirator, and the sharpers sud-
denly disappeared, to the bewilderment and
confusion of their astonished and duped
victim, whom they had quickly relieved Of
most of his hands earned surplus. The rob-
bed and disconsolate man hung around our
streets few days, mourning over his folly,
besieging our officers to help him recover
his funds, but all in vain. Sheriff Giles
and Marshal Off did their best to aid him,
but the sharpers had fed, and could no
where be found 1t is not at all probable
they staid here long after making such a
tne'haul as thousand dollars at once
not at aii-they understood their business
better than that.
Such incidents as the above are frequent
ly occurring on all railroads, and no repeti-
ton and warning seems to have any effect.
That any one should be so green and silly as
to bet thousand dollars and trust the
money in the hands of an entire stranger
on game of which he knows nothing, and
is sure to be cheated, without the slightest
chance of winning, is hardly credible, but
such is tpe fact, and the shorn specimens of
such ats may be met with almost every
day.

WHO Is THE NEGRo's FRIEND?-
A few days since citizen of Richmond
having occasion to visit Surry county, met
with an old slave in a very destitute con-
dition and almost naked. The negro told
him that be had been working for an agent
of the Freedmen's Bureau at four dollars per
month and his food. lie had only received
three dollars per month and no rations.
His former master went with him to the
man, and asked him if he was an agent
of the Bureau. The fellow very insolently
replied: s'Is that any of your id bust
ness?" The gentleman replied: ''It is sir.
This man was once my slave. / have al
ways treated him we'll, and don't intend
that he shall be imposed upon now" He
then produced the negro's labor contract,
drawn up in legal form and made the man
pay the negro what was due him, about
seventy dollars. When he returned to
Richmond he made complaint of the affair
to the authorities, and the agent has since
been discharged.

Old Soldiers Affiliate.
From the Lexington (Ky.y Observer:


In case tried before the city judge q
very interesting episode of the war came
out in tue testimony. Hacker and Sharpe
were privates in Cluke's lrebel) regiment,
and prisoners at Camp Chase. They es-
capped, successfully passed through Ohio
and Kentucky as far as Clay county, when
Lieut.. Smith, of the 24th Kentucky, with
few men, attempted to arrest them. In
the fight which ensued, Hacker was wound
ed and captured; Sharpe escaped; Lieut.
Smith was dangerously wounded. An at
tempt was made to hang Hacker, which
Smith generously prevented. Both recov-
cred. Now they are intimate friends
business partners-and, being near to Lex
ington, stopped to spend the night with
Sharpe. Each gallant, honest, earnest,
they have by rencounter and association
learned each others high qualities: The
bitterness now SO extensively exhibited all
over the country, that rules in Congress,
influences too many Of our courts, and is
running the country, is felt not by the true
soldiers who fought, but by the stay-a at
homes, who speeulated and fattened upon
the miseries of their country.
