A wealthy PauDer.

PITTsBURG, July S.-A week or more
ago a seedy, traVel.worn tramp ap.
peSred at the Westmoreland County
Poorhouse and applied for lodgings.
The steward, Mr.. Gay, took him in,
but informed the mendicant that he
must first take a bath. The man de-
INJURED at first, but finally consented.
When he disrobed for the bath he laid
aside bag of gold coin and then un-
buckled several large leather belts filled
with greenbacks and German and
American securities. He stayed all
night, giving his name as John Henry
Rhemberg. In the morning he was
taken sick and the physician summoned,
pronounced his case typhoid fever. He
grew rapidly worse and on Monday
last he expired.
The matter has been kept quiet by
the Poor authorities, who have sue
ceeded in learning that the dead pauper
has friends in Germany. He was a
miser and did nothing but beg and
hoard money. The amount of gold,
greenbacks and American and German
securities found on his person amounted
to about $21, 900.

Mad Deg.

AS officers Heal and mccullough
were patroling the south side about il
o'clock on Sunday morning, they were
startled by the cry of mad dog, and
soon large crowd of per ons were in
pursuit. The dog ran into the hedge
near Madeley Chapel, when officer Nc.
CuIlough fired at him three or four
times, wOunding him slightly. He
then ran out of the hedge into Owen
Quinn's house and took refuge nnder
the bureau. From this he was dis.
lodged by officer Heal, when he ran in.
to the hedge again. Mr.. Quinn then
brought out large old fashioned horse
pistol which he presented to Mr.. Heal
who fired at the dog inficting a wound
that soon ended his career. At the
same time the pistol rebounded strik.
ing Mr.. H. on the nose and under the
left eye bruising it considerably and
making quite a painful wound. The
dog was of medium size and of tan
color. Where he came from could not
be asoertained, but there seems to have
been no doubt that he was afflicted with
hydrophobia. The officers deserve
much credit for their promptness in
putting an end TO his career thus pre-.
venting damage to persons or animals
from his attack.

Texas cattle are said 10 be coming
over the plains of the Indian territory
in one drove, bound for the Chicago

The Iowa Temperance Amend

The anti-liquor amendment voters OF
Iowa accept the result of the recent con.
test with good grace, and are anxious to
see the new measure enforced. How it
shall be enforced is still question of
dispute. There is prevalent belief that
an extra session of the legislature will
be called. This is considered necessary
by some, while others contend that
there is already enough law to enforce
the amendment. This conservative
temperance men are opposed to haste
in the enactment of laws to enforce the
amendment, wishing to give brewers
and distilIers chance to close out their
business with as little loss as possible.
