COMBAT BESWEEN TWO POLAR
BEARS.

The Cologne Gazette contains an ac-
count Of IA combat which took place in
the Geological Gardens of that city be-
tween two polar bears, which, that jour
nal remarks, "a Roman Emperor would
assuredly have paid u milton sestertii to
wituess These two bears had been
brought from Spiizbergen five years ago,
and had been placed in large PIT with
tank in the center Until within the
last few days they had remained upon
excellent terms with each other; but
last week quarrel occurred between
them, the result of which was that the
female bear took refuge upon the sum
init OF large rock in one corner OF the
pit. The male did not attempt to follow
her, and she remained there three days
when, pressed by hunger, she descended
again. As soon as the male bear saw
her he Immediately rushed at her and
attacked her with his iore-paws. The
Keepers attempted to separate them, and
belabored the male bear with heavy iron
bars, but the bones in the head of The
polar bear are SO much harder than
those of the ordinary besr that these
blows took no effect. The male bear
continued to wrsak his vengeance upon
his companion, and after having almost
torn her body into ribbons. he dragged
her to the bottom of the tank and held
her there till he felt assured that all sign
of life was extinct. He then brought hel
body back to the floor OF the pit, anG
dragged ii round the tank for nearly al
hour. After this he withdrew into his
sleeping. den to rest from his labors, and
the keepers at once closed the iron bars
upon him. Having examined the body
OF the dead bear. they found that it hat
received more than u hundred wounds
the neck and head were crushed almos
to jelly. and the flesh was hanging il
strips from the back and sides. Durin,
the whole combat neither OF the bear
uttered cry or sound Of any kind.

friend named Joseph Turbet. One of
the men inquired If DR.. Lort was in. aud
received an affirmative reply. The entire
party then rushed INTO the hall and
passed into the parlor. Lort's face
blanched with terror as cooked revolvers
we're pointed toward him. He offered
no resistance, and wa handcutfsd. After
being handcuifed Lort was gagged, placed
in a light wagon d borne rapidly away
The wagon was driven to an unfrequented

A YOUTHFUL WANDERER.
strang. Vicissitudss of Twelve
Year-Old Boy, Whose Mother wns
Murdered and His Father Hanged.

As Sergeant Dahlgreen, Of the New
York Mulberry street police, was, last
niaht, Mt Crosby and Broome streets he
was approached by boy twelve years
old. who asked aim for shelter. as he
was stranger and hungry He was
taken to tho Mulberry Street Police Sta
ton, where he told remarkable story Of
youthful vicissitudes.
He said his name is William Donl-e,
and that h, had been brought up with n
travelling circus. His parents had at one
time been members Of H. W. Coles
menageiie and circus His mother was
horse rider and his father WAS chariot
and baaeback rider. The boy rode the
velocipede, and was also song and dance
boy. He said he had Travelled around
the word with different circus troupes,
and his earliest recoilections were of
circus riders, trapeze performers aud
performing horses About two years ago,
he said, his parents removed 70 Joliet,
III. His father then bogan to drink. and
frequently went home ioloxiclted. Then
he abused his wife and bsat her.
One night, in quarrel, the boys
father ran her out Of ths hous4 and then
stabbed and killed her. Then followed
the awful days Of his fathers trial, con-
victon and expiation 'on the gallows.
Then the homeless wanierer and orphan
again went with Coles circus. which
travelled throughout Canada. He was
abused and beaten, and at Hamilton he
ran away from them, fearing that he
would be murdered also. He begged bis
way TO Chicago H., and from there
walked to Buffalo.
Then he adopted the expedient of
playing deaf and dumb, to obtain that
sympathy which otherwise had failed to
secure him passage to this city. Con-
ductors Of freight trains took compassion
on him and he was transferred from
place to place until he finally reached
here, an orphan and penniless. 1T was
kind Of mean, know" declared the boy
apologetically. "to play such trick
upon the conductors, but it was the only
way | knew of getting to New York,
where | have heard even b gger boys
have become rich merchants
He is an exceedingly bright AMI in
teligeut Iai, frank aud outspoken, and
in spite OF the blight which has been cast
over his young lie. excited the sympa-
thies and interests of Captains Allaire
and COPELAND, whie his singing made
the station vocal with its sweetness He
was fiusly sent to the care of the So.
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty tc

.NOT GUILTY"


When grocer's boy yesterday de
livered basketful of packages to lady
on Columbia street, her quick eye de-
tected the tact that she had received only
eleven oranges in place of a dozan.
Young man, you ate that other or
ange as you came along" she exclaimed,
as she recounted the number.
"N~ver--'never!' he earnestly replied
"Well, where is it, then?"
They probably counted wrong
ma'am"
