Ire 40 by a Bear.

Lucy Kirckham, aged II years, of
Brooklyn, N. y, hut spending the
summer with her uncle two miles
northwest of Porter's Lake, county,
had very narrow escape from being
killed by bear OH Sunday last. Miss
kirkham was driving her uncle's cows
out into the woods to pasture and as
she was about to return home, she
heard noise in the thicket. She stop
ped, and looking in the direction OF
the noise, her eyes beLeld a black bear
coming toward her. She uttered a
scream and started to run. Rruin
gained on her, and seeing no ",anre
for escape, the terrified girl Il m''"d
small sapling, which, owing t" us sm Ill
circumference, the bear was unable to
ascend. The girl screamed he top
of her voice, while the animal remained
at the foot of the tree, growlioe and
clawing. The cries of the girl was
heard by two hunters who were passing
near by, who came to her rescue When
within shooting distance both loaded
their guns, and at given word fired.
The bear fell dead. The hunters then
bade the frightened girl come down
from the tree and they accompanied
her home. The bear weighe ed 2l0
pounds.

| Last evening the ice house of Wsltol
II Brother was destroyed by fire. 4
general alarm was struck about eigh
o'clock and from the reflection over th,
extreme eastern portion OF the city i
could be seen that a conhargation O
some extent was in progress. 1t wal
soon discovered that the place beius
consumed was tho property of the
Messrs. Walton which lies on this
eide Of Shellpot creek and over a hal
mile from Eleventh street bridge.
The Department was soon upon the
ground, and by forcing water from the
bitches, succeeded in soon getting al
work upon the burning building. BY
that time, however, the structure was
enveloped In flames and soon fell into q
mass OF ruins. The fire was that oi
an incendiary. When first seen BY
severa! boys who were rowing upon the
creek, the flames seemed to shoot up
suddenly The frame work was dry,
which accounts for its rapid destruction
There were about $500 tons of ice under
cover, which was what was left of the
summers supply.
Both building and stock was Insured
in the following companies of which l..
+. Buck and Co., are agents: On the
building $3.50 in the Pottsville Mutual
OF Pennsylvania; and el75O in Nassau
Of New York. On the stock, $1,000 in
the Lennox Of New York; $1,000 in the
Lyhchburg Of Virginia; $500 in the Al
lance Of Boston; $1,000 in the Relief Of
New York; sl500 in the Adria.ic of
New York and $500 IN the American
Central OF st. Louis, making total on
the stock Of $500 and &3s0O on
the house or an aggregate insurance
Of $l2, 600. The Messrs. Walton Seem
to be unfortunate as they have been
burned out several times two of which
disasters were caused by incendiarism.
The last loss sustained by them was
in the burning of their building at
Claymont and Vandever Avenue, July
%, 1877
The only thing not destroyed was
The new hosting apparatus, which at
The request Of Mr.. Walton was made en-
object of special effort by the Reliance
Fire Company, that company having
he advantage Of an advantageous po-
'itiOn and an abundance of water, By
'eason Of this favorable position obtained
~ the Reliance that company was in
tructed to remain on duty after the
'ther companies had left the scene. |
When the fire was first discovered |
here was some hesitation on the part
# some companies as it was thought
he property was outside of the city,
nd this idea is still held by manv.
Ar. Walton however states that the
is within the city's limits as

genuine case of yellow fever was
reported to the Brooklyn Health auahor-
ities yesterday afternoon.
The victim was Dennis Manning, age
forty, who died at 8 p. m. in the tsne-
ment house, No. 4S Columbia-aasce.
Manning was employed al fireman on
the steamship City of Merida, which
arrived at Quarantine from Havana Oh

Manning went directly home, and
not feeling well, went to bed A. once.
dc refused to have physician. He
grew worse and worse until Monday
night, when the black vomit appeared.
Yesterday morning DR.. Stuart was sum-
moned. When he arrived at the house
about noon, he found Manning in
state OF collapse; his eyes were congest-
ed and his skin was yellow, and the
black Vomit was frequently elected.
The examination left no doubt in the
physicians minds that the case was
one OF genuine yellow fever.
A man who gave his name as Charles
Mccormack, aged thirty, was seen act

same general features are discovered IL
the disproportion Of the vote Of 1875 a,
compared with population and the re-
suits OF all presidential elections In the
State. At ne tims prior to tha. yea,
was there any presidential election al
which the vote cast exceeded 50 PEI
cent. Of the whole body Of qualified
electors; but in the last election this
proportion rose to 1872, or ons voter to
each AT persons then living in the
State. Even in 1840 and 1860 tn. pro.
portion was only one voter to each s. .43
and 5.96 persons respectively, and In
the year Of fraud, 1868, the proportion
was not forced up over one To each 5.28
persons.
Again, there is no falling of In the
Republican vote Of Connscticutin 1875,
for 1t increased over that of 1872 in
exact accord with the increase of popu.
lation. This increase in the four years
over the previous vOts was 1877 Der
cent; but in the same period the in.
crease Of tho Democratic vote is found
to have reached the astonishing figure
Of 29.l per cent. The State Of Connec-
ticut can show nothing like this in her
previous history.
That in respect to these three North
ern States collectively, the comparison
of population and presidential votes
shows the following striking facts:
For the twenty years from 1910 to 1860
the population Of New York increased
59.7 per cent. and the popular vote
3O.3 per cent. but from 1850 to 1876, a
period Of sixteen years, while the pop
ulation increased 22.9 per cent. the
last presidential election makes the
popular vote increase 50.6 per cent.
New Jersey, during the first period
named, increased in population 80 per
cent and the popular vote increased
s7.9 per cent. but in the second period,
while her population increased 55 per
cent. the popular vote increased 81 per
cent. Connecticut, during the first
period, increased her population 4S.3
per cent. and the popular vote IS per
cent. but in the second period while the
increased 26.8 per cent. the
popular vote increased 5S.3 per cent.
In the case of each State named, it
further appears that in making pro-
vision for the number of Democratic
votes necessary to carry each in 1876,
whoever made the calculation reckoned
that the Republican vote would exhibit
In each State its normal increase over
that of 1872, which calculation proved
correct, and upon these prospective
figures safe minimum was based be-
low which the Democratic vote was not
10 fall.
II this minimum should BE- reached
i became almost mathematical certain
y that Mr.. Tilden carried the State. 1t
out requires the statement of the stat.
stical facts to prove that the utterly
increase of the popular
7o,e in 1876 was not and c1uld not be
lonest. Mr.. Tilden stands credited
With being close student of national
md State statistics, and no man, per-
laps. is better qualified to estimate the
