CHASED MANY WITH A LOCOMOTIVE
Is KILLED BY CITY MOB.
A telegram to the New York Times from
Honesdale. Pa, October Is, says: Since the
hunting season opened i'm this state a number
of deer have been killed in that part of the
Pike county woods through which the Homes
dale branch Of the Erie railway runs, between
Hawey and Lackawaxen, in Pike county. The
chase OF none of these animals was attended
with any unusual or exciting CIRCUMSTANCES
except that of very large and nobic buck,
which was killed in the village OF Lackawa ken
few days ago, after most extraordinary
chase.
S. ID. Van Akin, telegraph operator at Lacka-
waXen, is a great deer hunter. A few days ago
ton to hunt tor a large buck that had been seen
in that vicinity. While he was driving the
ridge with his dog an enormous five-prong buck
came out OF the woods on the other side OF the
valley dashed across the Delaware and Hudson
canal, through field, across the Lackawaxen
river at deep place called the Whirlpool,
the track and entered the woods where
Van Akin was hunting. Before it came
hunter and his dog, and bounded back out of
the woods to the railroad track. At that mo-
ing the spot, and the deer sprang out only
few feet ahead of the locomotive. The buck
kept to the track and ran on toward Lacka-
waXen. The locomotive was Immediately de-
tached from the train. and, putting it at the
top of its speed, the engineer and fireman gave
chase to the deer. IN spite of the great speed

| the lead. The locomotive whistle was sounded
and the exciting chase kept up for a mile
when the deer bounded into the village OF
LackawaXen, and found itself in the midst OF
railroad tracks, canalboats, quarry men, and
passing cars. The whistling of the loco
motive had attracted the attention of the
entire place, and when the deer came dashing
| furiously down the track. hotly pursued by the
locomotive, scores OF men, women and children
We're out to see the sight. The buck left the
track and sprang into the canal. Instantly he
was surrounded by yelling and excited mob.
They pelted the poor animal with stones and
pounded him with clubs from one side of the
canal to the other until he was finally forced to
give up, and he was finished by a big quarry
man with club. Every resident of the village
claimed a share of the venison, and the carcass
of the buck was divided up SO that every fam
lily had a piece. The magnificent head and

Trouble in a Spiritualist Temple.

Boston Special to the New FORK Tribune, Oct 18TH.
There is trouble i'm the new spritualist tenn
pie at Newbury and Exeter streets. At a seance
some months ago the medium, Mrs. Dyer, re-
ceived q most remarkable communication from
the spirit land. The purport of the message
will scarcely bear the light of public print, but
it can be said that it attacked the character of
several leading members in the temple. The
thoughtlessness of the spirits in thus exposing
the frailties of human nature caused some eX-
element, and il was this occurrence which
caused the present unpleasantness. Miss Helen
Mari, a member OF the society, began to find
fault She did not like the spiritual message, but
she wanted 10 join the inner circle i'm order
to see all that was going on. For some reason
Miss Mari did not harinoniZe with the spirits
and she was asked To withdraw from tae circle.
AT q meeting of the council some days later Ii
was voted to strike Miss Marr's name from the
books OF the society. This vote WAS sent Ia Miss
Mari, who returned ii to the society with
charges written upon il. About tnis time a
Charlestown dentist, DR.. Page, partly because
of the affair with Miss Mari, and partly be-
cause under the new bylaws he Thought that
NJ. S. Aver, the presiding officer, was carrying
things with too high hand, concluded that he
would withdraw. He told Mr.. Aver that he
was not pleased with the way things Were
going on, and was informed that the world WAS
wide. So the doctor penned an epistle To Mr..
Aver, in which he rendered his resignation and
called Mr.. Aver a tyrant, STAKEHOLDER and a
potentate in the church, without whose favor
no one could remain q member.

The People Not Ready to Proceed with
His Trial.

NEW YORK, October 19.-Ferdinand Ward
was this morning brought down from Ludlow
street Jail to the court of oyer and terminer Tor
trial. The court room was crowded to the doors
Ward was in charge of the Jail warden, and he
was accompanied by his brother. Ward was
taken to the court room through the sheriffS
office, where he met Gen. Tracy, his counsel.
The court room was SO full that the party were
compelled to stand for several minutes while
seats were procured. Ward was as usual neatly
dressed in dark clothes, which served to set Off
the deadly pallCr of his face, but he showed no
signs OF nervousness.
Shortly after IL o'clock District Attorney
Martin addressing Judge Barrett said: ain the
case of Ferdinand Ward the people have been
somewhat surprised, and find that by reason of
the action OF another tribunal it may be that
an important witness might be put
in a position to disqualify him. In view of
this and other reasons we cannot move that the
case be set down tor trial this morning. There
are other indictments, however, than this one
for grand larceny. upon which they are pre-
pared to try the defendant, and ask leave to
move one of those other indictments"
"What indictments" asked Mr.. Cockrane.
"Indictments which now ask to put in, and
ask that the prisoner be requested to plead"
replied the district attorney.
Mr.. COchrane strenuOusly objected to the in.
Justice which would be done to his client by the
postponement of the trial or the substitution OF
other indictments. The defendant did not de-
sire delay although the district attorney had
said as much in the newspapers. His client was
ready for trial last January.

SUICIDE OF YOUNG GIRL IN MONTREAL.
A young girl who gave her name as Virginie
Bersoin committed suicide Saturday In her
clearinghouse, on st. Louis street, Montreal.
She came from St Genevieve three weeks ago,
and was apparently in great distress. Saturday
morning, about O'Clock, the people of the
house heard her calling, and on going into her
room found her lying on the floor in her night
dress. In answer TO their questions she said
she had taken a dose of paris green, and that
she did not wish to live. They sent for doctor,
but before he arrived she was dead. In her
wash basin was found a quantity OF paris green
dissolved in water, and part of this mixture
she had drank. The following letter was found
in her pocket:
To ZotiQue Ddnseredu:
My Dear Zotique: have done with the world.

family, as she had some valuable jewelry.
