A Wild Woman in Berkshire.

The Pittsfeld Erening Journal is
responsible for the story of wild we-
man being discovered in the vicinity
Of Berkshire county, Pa. 1t says: The
story is that a Frenchman, perfectly
temperate, oil course, went to that To-
cality to gather chestnuts. After
wandering about for some time he
came to spring, where he took
drink OF water, and then. feeling
weary, laid down on little knoll
short distance from the spring. After
he had remained in that place few
moments he saw queer-looking crea.
ture approach and take a drink from
the spring. It looked like human
being, but did not lie down to drink.
It merely bent its body forward, and
seemed to be able to reach the water
that way with perfect ease. The
Frenchman's curiosity was aroused.
and rushing up behind the creature
be seized it. Upon close examination
it turned out to be woman entirely
void OF clothing, but covered with
short stubby hair excepting the breast
and the face, which seemed fresh and
rosy. After the Frenohmsn seized
her there ensued a struggle, in which
the man got rather the worst of il.
being severely scratched about the
face and having his clothes badly
torn. The woman finally succeeded
in escaping from him, rnd. after flee.
ing a short distance, stopped short
gave a fendish laugh and then
quickly disappeared. The French
man returned to town, and a physi-
clan IS attending to his injuries. Dur
ing the morning quite party of men
secured the locality, but as yet no re-
suits have been reported.

no Arrangement.

New York, II The Tribune has the
following: No renewal of the contract
between the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company and the overland railroad has
yet been made. The effort to secure a
reduction in the charges of the Panama
Company, for transportation across the
Isthmus, has proved in vain. The di-
rectors Of the company have refused
without dissenting voice, 10 make any
change in the provisions of the existing
contract A meeting of the Pacific Mail
committee with the presidents of the
overland railroads was to have been held
yesterday, but owing to the engagements
of Sidney Dillon, president Of the Union
Pacific, it was postponed Indefinitely. 1t
is understood that officers of the Pacific
roads were strongly opposed to the pay
mel t of any money subsidy to the
stes mship line They are willing to
guarantee that line full csrgoes il return
for maintaining through rates, but not
to pay for freight which the steamship
is unable to carry. They say
that the conditions of the business have
char ged absolutely since the contrac.
was first made abont four years ago.
