into the Diana saloon end taken drink.
when dispute arose as to who should pay
for it., Rollins was put ent by the propri-
eter of the saloon. when he became VERY in
ssulting daring Kelly to come out and fight.
Kelly stepped to the -door. taking his coat
off. just d. he stepped out Rollins stabbed
him in the neck, telling him to the si1e-
walk. Rollins then turned and walked
down Second street, and disappeared. In
formation was immediately. sent to police
headquarters, and Chief Eappfseus. who vas
but a short distance away at the time. ar
rived at the saloon. and had the man taken
60 police headquarters, on arriving. fhe
wounded man was found To be in dying
condition. He survived but short time.
Rollins was arrested, later in the evening.
in front of the Opposition Shoe Store. near

misplaced switch sent locomotive and
seven men dashing down on to the street
below. This occurred Saturday morn
ing. Sunday morning the only evidence
left Of any accident was break in the
pavement and q few chips. Sunday
afternoon the crowds went and
came over the road as usual. The i'm
mediate cause of the accident was, as is
generally the case, carelessness the re-
mote cause, undue economy. Only two
of the employees were dangerously in
jured, some Of the others are already
back at work, but bandaged and limp

lowed closely on this road, its patronage
is not in the least decreased.

switch is placed for the purpose Of enab'

Anecdote Of Gen. Grant.


Among the Swabians I heard of a tale
of the much-traveling Gen. Grant, the
American Ex-Preadent, who became =
great favorite with the Germans during
his journey among them year ago. The
teller Of the story happened to be at
Hamburg last year during the races, and
found the American warrior and states
man staying in that city. He was re-
ceived with all the honors due to = dis
tinguished guest who had made his mark
in contemporary history. A reserved
place in the principal balcony was placed
at his disposal. The Ex-President is no.
noriously a passionate smoker, and he
asked as a favor that he might be al
lowed to light cigar.
Consent was freely given by the Race
Committee. The General made himself
thoroughly comfortable, and was evi-
IDENTIFY enjoying himself, when an Of
ficious martinez, a rich merchant of Al
tona, ignorant of the arrangement made
between the statesman and the Race
Committee, called one Of his servants and
ordered him to Ego to that Englishman
and tell him at once that he must put
out his cigar" The General politely
complied, but at the same moment he
rose up, called his carriage and drove
away to his hotel, before the Race Com
mittee was aware Of the peremptory in
science of the man Of Altoona. The lat
ter bit his lip with vexation when he
learned the distinguished character Of
the man whom be supposed to be an ordi.

MEDIEVAL SUPERsTITIONs.
How our Remote Ancestors Scared

How our Remote Ancestors Scared
Themselves.
Magic Of the Middle AgeAl
Among these last was the mandragora,
which was supposed to reveal to its pos
SCISSOR hidden things and future events,
and to secure the friendship Of all men.
The root of the mandragora, or mandrake,
often divides into two parts, and thus
presents rude resemblance to q human
figure. 1t was believed that this plant
could not be found except below the gal
lows where a pure youth had been
hanged. When torn from the soil it was
said to sigh, shrek and moan so piteous-
ly that it caused whoever heard it to die.
To find this plant it must be sought be-
fore sunrise Friday morning. The person
seeking it should carefully fill his ears
with cotton, wax or pitch and take with
him a black dog without single white
hair. ..s-
The sign of the cross was to be made
three times over the mandragora, then
the soil was to be carefully removed, so
that it was attached only by it's fine root
lets. 1t was then tied by string to the
tail of a dog, who was attracted forward
BY a piece Of bread. The dog pulled the
plant from the earth, but fell dead, struck
by the shrek Of the mandragora. The
plant was then taken home, washed in
red wine, and wrapped in red and white
silk, laid in shrine, washed on successive
Fridays, and dressed in white frock. If
the mandragora is bought it remains with
the person who thus secures it, regard.
less Of where it is thrown, until sold
again. If kept until death, the person
must depart to hell with it.
In the demoniacal fauna of the middle
ages were-wolves played an impor.
tant part. They were supposed to be
men who changed themselves for time
into wolves, and roved about hunting fol
children. Augustine, one of the most
prominent fathers and authors Of his
time, taught that it was the devil who
wrapped VOLTS hide around witch,
Melancthon also believed in this doc
trine, and the Emperor Sigismund had
the question investigated Scientifically
in the presence Of theologians; and they
came to the general agreement that the
werewolf is a positive and constant
fact;;" for, the existence Of the devil be
ing accepted, there is no reason to deny
that of the werewolf, supported as it il
by the authority Of the fathers of tht
church, and by general experience.
Another CHASTITY superstition of thos'
times was that Of belief in vampires
These were disembodied souls, which hat
reclothed themselves in their buriec
bodies. In this garb they stole at nigh
into houses and sucked from the nipples
of the sleeping their blood. The persol
thus bereft of his vital fluid was in turl
changed into vampire. The corpse o
a person suspected Of vampiriam, if duI
up, was found well preserved, and al
abundance of fresh blood would fov
from its mouth on pressing the stomach
To this horrible belief is ascribed KIM
of psychical pestilence, which spread tel
ror in the Austrian provinces even dow
into the eighteenth century.
