a Mail.Carrier's Adventure.

| FROM the Madison IN. t. MadisOnian.
| "GeySer,' writing from Fire Hole
Basin, gives the following account of an
encounter between Stephen Hall, one
OF the mail carriers, and cougar
while Hall was on his way from Nam
moth Hot Springs to Gibbons Station he
was attacked, near Obsidian Cliff, by Il
large cougar. He had crossed the cor
iuroy between the cliff and the lake
when he heard noise to the left of him
and, looking up, saw the monstrous
animal in the act of springing down
upon him. Drawing his knile-the
only weapon he had-he dropped upon
his knees Just as the animal Jumped,
and the inturiated animal missed his
aim and went clear over him, Hall plung-
ing his knife into its body as it passed.
The force of Halls blow and the ami
mails spring was so great that both
were precipitated over the CLASSY debris
ana into the lake. Both struck the
water at the same time, and then
terrific combat began. The water was
up to Hall armpits, and the beast had
to fight swimming. 1t made a plunge
at ITS antagonist and succeeded in
wv H'HS nun pS lut ltlJ HTlu, HAL
used his knife as rapidly as possible,
but Falling to loosen the animals hold
upon his arm, dived to the bottom of
the lake, and both went down together.
The cougar then let go and, coming to
the top OF the water, saw the mail. sack
winch had come Off Ilall's back in the
struggle. Doubtless imagining the sack
was its prey, the animal seized it in its
mouth, and struck for the shore.
AS soon as he saw what was going on
Hall started after the cougar, which he
caught by the tail as it was about to
land, and pulling it back into the water
plunged his knife into its heart. Harry
\ cunt. the gamekeeper, better known
As Rocky Mountain Harry, who went
DVer to see the cougar that Hall killed,
says that he has hunted in the noun
ans Tor over twenty years and that
ms Is the largest animal of the kind he
'vcr saw. Mr.. Halls arm was badly
'hcWed up between the ristand elbow
Iut his injuries, though severe were not
eriouS, and he has recovered sufficient
y to be again on duty. He says, how

Delaware Excursion steamers

Philadelphia paper Of tU-day says:
since the thrilling story of the loss ol
lives on the steamer Victoria, recalling
many similar cases, the public mind in
Philadelphia, as elsewhere, has been
turned TO the subject OF the precautions
taken for safety on steamers, and those
III USE during the summer excursion
HeaS"h arouse special attention. "Are
the boats on the Schuyikill and Della
ware rivers safe" DO not tugs and ex-
curNloh steamers carry more people than
thcy ought" What means are taken to
preserve he rights of passengers" are
questions Of immediate moment. On
an upper iioor Of the Appraisers Build
ing, on Second street, Is the Office of
The United States officers who look af-
ter this matter, and they are in IA posi-.
non to give some information about it.
Mr.: Mershon is the Inspector of Hulls
and Mr. Hand Inspector Of Boilers. Mr..
MerSon says the law is fully complied
with SO far rs the Delaware river boats
are concerned. There is only one slea,
mcr running out of Philadelphia, said
he yesterday that is allowed to carry
two thousand passengers. That is the Re-
public. The Thomas Clyde, the Columbia
and the John a. Warner are permitted
to carry one thousand each. The Others
carry from six hundred down. Every
steamer is Inspected oucc u year-boiler
and hull and all her appliauceS-and to
The condition of these we make oath.
" Every captain, said Mr.. Mershon,"
sends us sworn statement OF the mum
Der rt passengers sh" carries on every
trip and il he ever carries more than he
is allowed by the permit we can take
away his lircnSe. The law is very
strict so far rs it goes, but there are rX-
reptionS To it. We cannot control the
number of Passengers Oh ferry boats as
.hey are allowed to carry IN average
number, which is very Indefinite.
