KILLED BY A BEAR.
An italian WomRn's Terrible Death
Her Husbands story

Her Husbands story
From the New York Sun
For several weeks an Italian couple,
a surly Neapolitan Of an unpronounca-
BILE name, and his youthful and hand
some wife have been travelling through
New Jersey towns exhibiting big black
bear that danced and performed tricks.
They passed through Newark early yes.
terday morning, crossed the Passaic
river, and after giving an exhibition Of
the bear at East Newark proceeded on
their way to Jersey City. While about
mile above the Lodi hotel the man tied
the brute 10 a water pipe belonging to
the Jersey City aqueduct, and told his
wife that it would be best for him to pro-
ceed to the city first and engage stable
for the bear. The woman was TO remain
with the bear until his return. He re-
turned about D, m. and found his wife
dead in the bears clutches. He ran to
East Newark and summoned the author
tiles who shot the bear and took care Of
the body. Her arms and chest were
crushed, and the brute had managed,
Notwithstanding the muzzle, to tear a
large portion of the clothing from the
woman, which he was devouring when
found by the Italian. Deputy Coroner
Squires, of Hudson county, has the body
in charge. The man cannot speak sut-
ficient English to tell even his name,
and last night an impression prevailed
that he had caused the death OF his wife
by letting the bear loose on her when on
the meadows. The spot is over mile
from any dwelling. On this account it
is probable that an investigation will
take place.

scientific cruise, was at Bahia on Sep
tember 25th, about to sail for the Cape
of Good Hope. The Atlantic depths
have been found very uniform, rarely
under two thousand fathoms and never
over two thousand five hundred fathons.
Mr.. Bryant, the schoolmaster of the
Challenger, was missed from the vessel
when at st. Vincent, and was subse-
quently found dead on the summit Of
a high mountain.

A curious fsctin zoology is reported
from Hamburg. Some months ago a
Lithuanian lynx escaped from travel
ing menagerie at Altons, and twenty
dollars reward was offered for is cap
ture. but in vain. Not long ago a sen
tinel at Kiel observed strange looking
cat-like animal coming out Of the
mouth of a large cannon on the ram
parts, and after a short time returHing
with duck in its jaws. The man got
assistance; a net was spread over the
muzzle of the gun, aud the missing
lynx was recaptured. together with a
domestic cat and a litter Of three
young ones. These curious kittens
have been transferred to the botanical
garden of Hamburg. where they have
been visited by many naturalists.

A clever writer in Lippineott's Maga-
sine says that, in imagining . japanese
hotel. the good reader must dismiss all
ideas derived from the Con-
or the Fifth Avenue. Our hO-
tells in Japan, outwardly at least, are
wooden structures, two stories high, Of
ten but one. Their roofs are usually
matched, though the city caravansaries
are tiled. They are entirely open on the
front ground floor, and about six feet
from the sill or threshold rises q plat
form about a foot and half high, upon
which the proprietor may be seen seated
On his heels behind q tiny railing ten
inches high, busy with his account-bOok.
II it is winter he Is engaged in the absorb
ing occupation Of all Japanese tradesmen
at that time of the year-warming his
hands over acharcoal fire in low brazier.
The kitchen is usually just next to this
front room. often separated from the
street only by lattioed partition. In
evolving japanese kitchen in his or her
imagination, the reader must cast away
the rising conception of Bridget's realm.
Blissfully, indeed is the thought as We
enter the japanese hotel that neither the
typical servant-girl nor the American ho-
tel clerk is to be found here. The land
lord comes to meet us, and falling on his
hands and knees, bows his head to the
floor. One or two of the pretty girls. out
of the bevy usually seen in Japanese ho-
tells. comes to assist Us and take our traps.

Carving a Turkey.

There is nothing young unmarried
man likes better than to go TO a dinner at
the house of friend AM to be asked to
carve the turkey. He never carved a
turkey in his life, and with an old maid
on one side Of him. watching him closely.
and on the other side a fair girl for whom
he has tenderness, he feels embarrassed
when he begins. First he pushes the
knife. down toward one Of the thigh-iOints.
He can't find the joint, and he plunges
the knif. around in search Of it until he
makes mince-incat out VI one whole quar-
ter Of the fowl. Then he sharpens his
knife, and tackles it again. At last, while
MAJ ing 81 terrific dig, he hits the joint
suddenly. and the leg flie- into the maiden
lady's lap. while her dress-frOnt is covered
with shower Of stuffing. Then he goes
for the other leg, and when the young
lady tells him he looks warm, the weather
seems TO him suddenly to become four
hundred degrees warmer. This leg he
finally pulls loose with hi; fingers. He
he is hacking at the wing he gradually
cloth, and when he picks it up it slips
from his hand into the gravy-dish and
splashes the gravy around for six square
wards. Just as he has made up his mind
that the turkey has no joints to its wings,
the host asks him if he thinks tie Indians
can really be civilized? The girl next to
him laughs, and he says he will explain
his views on the subject after dinner.
Then he sops his brow with his handker-
chief and presses the turkey SO hard with
the fork that it slides off the dish and up
sets goblet of water on the girl next to
him. Nearly frantic, he gOuges away
again at the wings, gets them off l..
mu,ilated condition. and digs into the
breast. Before he can cut any of, the
host asks him why he don't help out the
turkey. Bewildered. he puts bo;h legs on
a plate ard hands them to the maiden
lady, and then he helps the young girl to
a plateful Of stutiing, and while taking
her plate in return, knocks over the gravy
DOat. Then he sits down with the calm
ness of despair and fans himself with a
napkin. while the servant girl clears up
and takes the turkey to the other end Of
the table. He doesn't discuss the Indian
question that day. He goes home right
after dinner and spends the night trying
to decide whether to commit suicide or to
take lessons in carving.-Mar AdeLer.
