long time past, entries had an
Deared for money paid for scrap

them a correct appearance.

funds is currently reported to
be in the neiehborhood of ten
thousand dollars. The Law.

Mr.. Fisher of this startling dis.
crepancv, and upon the basis of
it a settlement was made before
Mr. F. was allowed to witt.

Saved from Death by Presence
of Mind.

Ihere was witnessed, fester-
day afternoon, one of thf most
remarkable instances Of pres.
enee OF mind on the part of a
lady we have ever heard OF.
At about 5 o'clock, as 4 large
number of picnickers from
Bad -er's Park were waiting Tor
the train to take them 10 this
city, a young lady aboutktweD-
ty years OF age, escorted by a
young man OF about the same
age, started TO walk across the
lrestle. work opposite the park.
AT this point there is a sweep.
ing curve in the railroadlrack,
and when a train is approach
ing ii can not be seen till with.
in a short distance of the sta.
ton The lady and gentleman
had proceeded about thirty
yards on the trestle work when
a gravel train came around the
curve at a high rate of speed.
The engineer saw the situation,
and whistled down brakes, hut
1t was impossible to stop the
train in time to save them. The
pair started to run for The solid
ground, but it was an impossl-
bllity to reach it before the
train approached, and The large
crowd held its breath, expect
Ing every moment 10 see two
mangled forms. The lady,wh
did not lose her presence OF
mind for second, saw her dan
ger, and shouting to her com
panion, Immediately dropped
through the trestie work and
caught hold Of one OF the sleep
ers with her hands just as the
huge engine passed over her
head, with scarcely twelve
inches between them. The man
followed suit, and the two re-
NAMED suspended till the long
rain passed en-, when a num-
ber Of gentlemen rushed Tor
ward and rescued them from
their perllous position, and
brought them to terra firma.
The young lady had net re.
ceived any bruises, but had her
dress and sacqne torn in sever
al places when dropping down
between the sleepers. Her
companion received several
bruises, and his wardrobe will
require The aid of a tailor. The
escape was indeed a marvel

headed young lady was the he.

Mind your own concerns, my friend,
For they are yours alone.
Don't talk about your neighbor's
faults,
But strive to mend your own,
Suppose that he does not always lead
A truly perfect life,

Or quar- els with his wilef
Don't meddle-let him know, my

To act the spy on him or his--

Bunz House, in which a young
man named Albert Guest, llv.
ing in Green township, cut
William Leonard and Daniel
Kelly pretty severely.
The facts, as nearly as we
Can ascertain them, as brought
outIn the investigation before
the Mayor, were as loIlows:-
Young Guest and ore or two
other gentlemen came TO the
Fair accompanied by several
ladies, and concluded to re
main over night, and went to
the Bunz House TO engage
lodgings; they could not get
rooms as they desired, owing
TO the crowded condition of
the hotel, but were given the
ladies sitting room, IN which
they could spend the night
Sometime during the evening,
while the parties were quietly
enjoying themselves, a crowd
of fellows, among whom was
Leonard and Kelly, referred to
above, came into the room;
some of them appeared to be
quite intoxicated, and began
using coarse vulgar language,
and doing some very unbe.
coming things. Guest, who IS
quite a young man, and very
quiet, demonstrated with them,
telling them that the room be-
longed to them and they did
not want TO be interfered with;
whereupon one of the intru
ders struck him in the face,
and The others Joined in the
assault. Young Guest drew
his knife, which was a good
sized two-bladed pocket knife,
and began a kind OF well di.

He cut Dan. Kelly across the
back OF the neck, a cash near
~ four inches long; when
Leonard coming in his way, he
began on him. giving him one
cash on the throat, nearly eev.
ering the jugular vein, another
on the nose, another in the
side, and another on the leg;
at this juncture OF The affair
some one knocked Gnest down
with a chair, and the fellows
thus released from the fight,
and seeing the blood running
pretty freely, thought it about
time to get out, and left the
room. II is also said that
George Cline had a cut in his
coat on the hack. They assist
