The RAzoRRAck PIG.


An Animal Monstrosity Indigenous to
Some Portions OF the Country.
Flamaton has two hotels, six houses
and about 700 razorback pigs. I will
not attempt to give the exact population
Of the pig family. ! approximate; that's
all. These pigs are weary of life. They
court death every day in thousand diff
ferent ways When an engine or train
starts up anywhere in the yard score
Of these pigs will dash recklessly up to
and under the wheels. Sometimes they
get run over, but they never find it out.
They are ferocious-looking beasts. The
biggest part Of the Flamaton pig Is that
which runs from his high intellectual
brow out to the tip of his nose. II be
would stand on his hind legs he would
be very tall. As for thickness, he has
none. You could seal one up in an en-
velope and in stamping it the postmas-
ter would never discover that it con-
tanned anything thicker than a sheet Of
brown paper. thought of mailing you
one for an ornament, but learn that
bric-a-brac is no longer fashionable.
Two thousand years from now some
lover Of curiosities will halt in passing
through museum in front Of queer
looking piece of antiquity and ask of
his guide: as that model of a flying
ship or the side-view of new tangled
penknife, with corkscrew attachment"
The answer will be: Neither, my son ;
that is the last remains OF a razorback
pig that flourished in the nineteenth
century in the southern part Of what
was then known rs the United States Of
America, place where people had a
firm belief that they were free, and felt
so secure that they allowed alien and
native land thieves TO gobble up the
best lands in the country, and this pig
was forced to grow up and exist in a
place where an acre of ground was not
rich enough to raise anything except
just such pig, and was so hard that
you could not ,frive a railroad spike
through its top crust with a sledge-
hammer. The pig is still alive. and he
still imagines that he lives at Flamaton.
We have to watch him closely, for every
time he hears a bell ring or whistle
toot he makes break for the train with
the intention of mixing himself up with
the wheels. He's bent on suicide still. "

Convicted of Consniracv

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 24.-The trial of
George f. Work. Samuel Work and Shreve
Ackley, members of the late firm OF George
F. Work & Co., brokers, charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the Peoples Passenger
Railway company of this city, ended tonight.
Tho Indictment upon which the accused were
tried contained sixteen counts setting forth
in substance conspiracy to cheat and de-
fraud and the execution of that conspiracy
It was alleged by the prosecution that shortly
after George F. Work had been chosen as one
of the directors of the company the firm of
which he was the head was made financial
agent of the company; that subsequently,
Samuel Work and Shreve Ackley were
elected directors and the three defendants
thus constituted majority in the board;
that the capital stock of the company was
then increased and by manipulatlons of
the stock and of subsequent issues the de-
PENDANTS as directors negotiating with them
selves as financial agents, made by one
transaction $500, 900, which they put in their
pockets. 1t was further alleged that by
hypothecation OF bonds and manipulation of
preferred stock the defendants realized large
personal profit at the expense of the COM
pany. The trial began on the 18th inst and
the case was given to the jury yesterday,
which, after about thirty hours elaboration,
returned a verdict at o'clock tonight, find
ing George f. Work and Samuel Work guilty
of the third count in the Indictment and
Shreve Ackley not guilty, and acquitted
them of all the other counts. The third count
charges them with conspiracy to embezzle
$4,000 of the moneys and properties of the
railroad company. Counsel for the convicted
men made motion for new trial, and the
motion being allowed, the Works were per-
mitted to renew their bonds.

He Got the Oil.

OIL CITY, Pa. Dec 24.-Frank Culbertson,
a recent accession to the oil exchange, startled
the trade to-day by buying in round numbers
three quarters of million barrels of oil be-
fore he was headed off by demand
for margins. He quickly satisfied
the demands, and turned the tables
on the other dealers by calling
for margins on them. Business was suspended
temporarily on the outside of the exchanges
as well as here to await the result of the call
for margins. Not until the announcement
was made by President Foster that margins
were being put up and the trade knew the
money was in the First National
bank for the purpose was business resumed.
There were rumors of various kinds aaoat.
One had Mr.. Culbertson doing business for
Chicago syndicate. Another had him making
the purchases for the Standard; others held
that Culbertson, having been successful
IN recent deal, tried another on
his own account, and that his money to ham
die the bundle was made in the cattle business
in the West. Whoever this Oil was bought
Tor, 1t is remarkable that the market did not
advance more than cent while the big pur-
chase was being made and dropped back i'm
medately.

A Baltimore Ghost.

From the Baltimore American.
There was great excitement in Donohue's
court Wednesday afternoon. which ex-
tended around and through several adjoin-
ing blocks. Heinrich Deitmeyer commit
ted suicide in the back yard of No. Dono-
hue's court last Sunday morning by cutting
his throat from ear to ear. He was buried
by the city, His brother Charles
would not allow his body to be
brought into the house. Heinrick's ghost
came back Wednesday to tantalize his
brother and nearly scared him to death.
Mrs. Lizzie Dresher, who occupies the
lower floor of house No. Donohue's court,
under the Deitmeyer family, related the
following story to an American reporter
yesterday afternoon: 81 was washing in
the back yard ali day. I had hung my
clothes out to dry, and about 6 o'clock.
when I went out to take them in, Charles
Deitmeyer called me and said: Mrs
Dresher, you see that piece of wood; have
been trying to chop that piece of wood, but
it goes up and down. and every time think
/ try to hit it. it is ON the other side of the
yard and can't catch it," Mrs Dresher
said the man looked wild, and she advised
him to go into the house. He would not
60, but kept on throwing his axe
around wildly at imaginary sticks of wood.
Finally he dropped the axe and opened
the door of the clubhouse in the yard. Then
he gave an unearthly scream. Mrs. Dresh-
er ran towards him, and as she got near
him Deitmeyer fell. knocking her over and
exclaiming: 81 have seen my brother!, :"
Mrs. Dresher, as soon as she recovered from
the shock, ran to the front door and called
Officer Costello. The officer went in and
found Deitmeyer in a PROSTATE condition,
with drops of perspiration big as grains of
corn rolling down his face. He
said when he opened the door of the out
house he saw his brother Heinrich sitting
there with his throat cut and that Heinrich
got up and grappled him by the throat and
swore he would kill him for having his
body buried in Potter's field. Officer Cos
tello said that when Charles Deitmeyer re-
gained consciousness his hair was standing
out straight from every part of his head,
and that he said he would swear he had
seen his brothers. ghost.
An American reporter visited the scene
yesterday afternoon and found the whole
place bottom side up. Women were fright
ened, men were scared, and while there
were not many who believed in ghosts, yet
there was a tremor among the whole of
them that they could not shake off. Char
ley Deitmeyer, with his sister, was out yes
terday looking for another house, and he
said he would not stay in the house another
night if he had to sleep on the ground.
