MULE VS.. LOCOMOTIVES.
The Grandest Kicking Match on
Record.

A California community has sur
passed the atrOcity of Spanish bull
tights by match between mule and
a locomotive. The mule was a large
and bony army mule, and the locomo-
tive was one of the celebrated Pater-
son breed. A circular track was built
in large temporary amphitheater,
on which the locomotive was run at
full speed, aud the mule was let
loose into the arena to deal with its
antagonist as it saw fit. The mule
watched the locomotiye for some time,
with its ears in threatening attitude,
and when the locomotive had attained
a speed Of fully fifty miles an hour,
backed up in front of it aud delivered
a kick with both feet. The locomo
tive was brought to an instant stop,
trembling in every wheel, while hot
perspiration of steam covered its sur
face. After being carefully spongcd
off and stimulated with small Goals,
the miserable locomotive was again
set in motion. This time the mule
kicked it with such terrific Violence
as to break its funnel short of. and
to smash its headlight Moan
ing with pain, the locomotive
was once more sponged and
its wounds bound up with
sheet iron. At this point several
ladies left the ampitheater, being un-
able to witness any longer so brutal
spectacle, but the inhuman owner
of the locomotive ordered time to be
called and the combat to be renewed
The mule waited till the locomotive
was running at an estimated speed of
sixty-seyen miles rer hour and then
delivered its final kick. The hapless
locomotive was hurled some thirty
feet from the track, and was taken up
with its boiler ruptured, its eccentrics
dilslocated and its connecting rods
broken. 1t breathed its last steam in
a lew moments, in apparent great
suffering and the mule was declared
the victor.

MIXED RELATIONSHIP.
A Man who Marries Widow and
then Her Daughter.

Pittsburg Post.
Quite an interesting and romantic
story was told to reporter of the
Post on Saturday. 1t is as follows !:
In 1868 there resided in Lawrenceyille
man, his wife, and three sets of
twins which were born during their
married life. One day in returning
from his place of employment he was
killed on the railroad Having been
very economical, his family was left
in comfortable circumstances. They
remained in Lawrenceville and lived
quiet life. The children grew up.
and the boys started out to earn a
livelihood for their widowed mother
and fatherless sisters. The eldest ofthe
young ladies is said to have been very
beautiful, and attracted considerable
attention in the neighbOrhood.
A little over three years ago a man
came to this locality, and falling in
love with the widow hewooed and won
her. Their union resulted in the birth
Of another pair Of twins. Life flowed
along smoothly for about a year and a
half, when one morning the wife
awoke and found her husband and
pretty daughter missing. 1t was sub
sequently ascertained that the two had
been married and had gone to Ohio.
The wronged wife made no attempt to
follow her spouse and hisstepdaughter,
now his wife, but remained quietly at
home.
1t tappears that the married life of
the runaway husband and his new
wife was not pleasant one, and a
separation was agreed upon. The
young lady returned to her home in
Lawrenceville about two months ago
with bouncing baby boy in her arms
Her mother willingly forgave her.
Several weeks ago the husband OF the
two turned up in Lawrenceville also
and sought an interview with his
second wife, the result of which was
that The difficulty was settled and he
was invited 10 visit his first wife. And
now comes the most remarkable part
OF the tale. The man, his two wives
and their children are said to be all
peaecably living in Allegheny under
the same roof.
Our informant, who is prominent
resident OF the Fifteenth ward, asks
the question: What relation Is tho
second wife to her sisters aud mother"
LII the first place the man was step.
father Of all the children. He then
married one Of them, and she, as his
wife, must be the step.mother Of his
ep-children, her brothers aud sisters.
This is knotty question, and wo re
fer our informant to other quarters.

on projecting log, sprang out, caught
the trout and took him to the shore

THE Republican State convention,
which met at Harrisburg yesterday,
was carried solidly for Grant, though
not without much opposition and
feeling. The following resolution was
offered by Mr. Kerr:
Resolved, That the delegates elected
to tl!e Republican National conven
ton h-om this State are hereby in
structA1 to support for the presiden-
tial nom;nation General U. S. Grant,
and to vote as a unit on all questions
that may ctme before she convention.
Mr. Kerr supported his resolution
in o brief speech. General Albright
replied to Senator Kcrr's remarks.
He believed that General GEaat
was sincere in all his under
takings, aud had done great
service, both civil and military;
but he did not think be was the only
man who could lead the Republican
party to victory. He did not believe
there was any danger to the country in
"a third term, but he believed that
Washburne, Sherman, or Blaine
could carry the suffrages of the people.
He did not believe in instructing the
delegates to Chicago for any man. The
resolution was further opposed by
General Koontz; Darlington, Of Ches-
ter; Harvey, of Clinton; aud Wolfe, o.
Union; while Moreland, Of Allegheny,
and Bingham, Of Philadelphia, ia
vored it. The speeches Of the anti
Grant people were all from the Blaine
point Of view, and no other names be-
sides those of Grant and Blaine were
mentioned at all except ia
the remarks OF General Albright. Mr..
Strong, of Tioga, offered as another
amendment to strike out the name OF
u. Grant, and to insert that Of j,
g. Blaine. The amendment was lost
by yeas, S5; nays, 1854. Several Of the

Sanitary Legislation Proposed by
Senator Harris.

WASHINGTON, February 9. - The
bill introduced in the senate to-day
by Senator Harris, to increase the eff
cheney of the National board ofhealth
provides that the board shall report
to the President whenever any place in
the United States is considered by it
to be dangerously infected. Afterthe
official publication of such report by
the President, the bill prohibits the
transportation of goods or persons from
such place into State other than that
within which such place is located
The prohibition continues until the
President proclaims the place no
longer dangerously affected. The bill
also provides that the commanding
officers of all merchant vessels enter
ing any infected States port from any
foreign port situated between the par
allels of3O degrees south and 40degrees
North latitude, or upon the Meditter
ranean, shall, upon demand, deliver
TO the customs officers of the port of
entry abill ofhealth, such as the board
may prescribe, from the proper health
officer Of the port of departure. The
Senator also introduced Joint reso
luton authorizing the President to
call an international conference, to
meet at Washington, to which the
several powers having ports likely to
be infected with yellow fever, shall be
invited to send delegates. The object
of the proposed conference is to Sc
cure an international system Of mott
hcation as to the actual sanitary con
ditlon of the ports and vessels sail
ing from ports under the iuris-
diction Of such powers. The bill and
the joint resolution were referred to
the committee on epidemic diseases.

A WASHINGTON special to the Gin

A WASHINGTON special to the Gin
rinnati Enquirer says:
IF Senator Voorhees, exodus COM
mitt4~ fails in every other particular
to shoH good cause for its existence,
it will at least have been a Godsend
to score of impecuniOus Indianians
who have been summoned here as
witnesses. Of course they get paid
their railroad fare and expenses while
here, and arc given a first t-class trip at
the expense of Uncle Sam. A dozen
or more have already been here, and
the returns are not yet all in. The
only substantial fact thus far devel-
oped is that the railroads sent agents
into the Southern States to encourage
the negroes TO move. These agents
were paid 81 for each adult and fifty
cents for each child induced to travel
over their respective lines.
1t is shown, too, that the railroads
are the only ones who have derived
any profit from the movement. An
other party of negroes bound for In
dianNpois passed through here last
night. The company was composed
of few men and a large number of
women. One Of the women gave birth
to child on the train, and had to be
conveyed from one train to the other
on baggage truck. They were all
comfortable. and looked as if they had
been well fed. On being asked if
hey were not comfortable in the
South, they replied that they had
pretty comfortable homes, and made
enough to supply their families with
plenty to eat, but they had been prom.
Used homes of their own in Indiana,
and inducements held out to them
that they could not resist.
