Girls Capturing a Deer.

Here is another story from Pike county
a county more remarkable than any other
for the magnitude of its "big stories" We
give it for what it is worth: There was
dance near Porter's Lake, in Pike County, on
Friday evening last, that was attended by
numbers of the best youths and maidens of
the neghborhood. They began dancing
early in the evening and continued it until
morning The region is sparsely inhabited,
and the means OF communication fewj there
forej those who attend such gatherings fire.
quently 60 on foot for miles 10 be present at
them! Three maidens-AIiss Cox, Miss
Brink, and Miss Jennie Lane-live on the
northwest bank of Porter's Lake. and to get
to the dance rowed over in small boat.
After the breaking up on Saturday morn
ing, they started to return home in the same
manner, Miss Cox, the eldest of the three,
taking the oars. When near the middle of
the lake, they discovered an object moving
in the water before them which at first they
supposed was dog, but which upon near
ing they ascertained to be big buck, It
circled ronnd and round in the water, a sure
indication that it was wounded. After a
consultation, the boat was pulled to within
a few feet of the buck, and the oars were un-
shipped, Miss Brink taking one and Miss
Cox the other. They drifted closer and
when within striking distance, at a given
signal, both girls brought their weapons
down upon the deer's head. He sank be-
meath the water for an instant, but when he
came to the surface his eyes shone and his
hair was turned straight toward his head.
The girls both struck a second time, bring
ing the oars down upon his neck. He sank
again, but coming up sprang from the water
and placed his fore feet against the side Of
the boat, The girls had to use all their
strength to keep u from capsizing. They
managed, however, 70 strike the animal
another blow on the neck, which proved a
fatal one. Tying their handkeIehiei' To-

THE LOBBY,

ON Friday morning terrible acci-
dent occurred on the Lehigh Valley
Road, at Statington, Pa, resulting in
the explosion Of an Oil tank, and the
great destruction of property. While
a freight train was stopping at that
station to allow the cooling Gf 3
journal, another train consisting of
engine, forty oil tanks and tour freight
cars came tearing along and run with
frightfnl force into the rear of the sta
tlonary train. The engine at once ex-
ploded, tearing the bridge to pieces,
throwing several cars from the track,
and fifteen oil-tanks in Trout Creek.
A large number of the remaining oil
tanks quickly caught fire, creating
lurid glare that was seen for miles
around, and setting the town on fire.
The machine shop and foundry CT
Brown & Williams caught fire and was
totally destroyed. Loss $4,000. Twen-
live persons were injured, of whom
quite a. number have died.
