\ Cat and Rooster Partnership

wonderful specimen of the feathered
tribe in this vicinity is big. red rooster,
owned by Willie Johnson, of this city. A
year ago Willie johnson purchased several
chickens, among which was the rooster in
question, and carried them to his home. The
rooster had not been on the premises a great
while before he exhibited decided fondness
for the house cat. The cat appeared to be in
no wise avarse to the ROSTERS demonstrations
and the two were soon fast friends. They
shared their food together. When the cat
caught a rat she brought it to the rooster and
the rooster never tired of catching iatheads
earth worms AMI grasshoppers for the cat
Finally the cat died leaving a solitary kit
ten. which the rooster at once adopted and
began to care for. The most friendly rela.
tons existed between them. But recently
this cat also died and left a kitten. which the
rooster promptly adopted. Wherever he
goes, the kitten follows, Just as young chick
ems follow the mother hen. The kitten I'M
derstsnds the ROSTERS cluck. and it is anus
ing to see it run to him when he makes the
peculiar sound which chickens make on find
ing food 1t is difficult, however, for him to
find such food as tine kitten requires in con-
sequence of which it is weak and very much
emscisted The kitten and the rooster roo t
together on plank in the fowl-house. which
they enter as night approaches The rooster
then flies up on the roost. while the cat climbs
up and nestles down beside him Macon

Seeker.

There are some really pathetic cases among
the ofiice-seekers here. A poor fellow was
telling me his story the other day. He is
from the Pacific coast. He was sent as del
egate to the democratic national convention;
he voted for Cleveland first, last and all the
time; he has several letters in his possession
from Cleveland and several from Col La
mont. acknowledging his services during the
campaign. He came here with strong in
dor~ements in June last and remained ever
since. He is so far from home that he can
no; afford to 90 back and forth, and has be-
heved that he would be recognized. He
talked AS follows: 'tIcre am, this cold
rainy night. with a summer suit of clothes on,
without an overcoat. with my shoes worn

So 900 The paper was to run but short
time and was against responsible parties all
well known by Mr.. Hyatt. He desired to
raise the money. cash the notes. and realize
the $500. He told the rascals he had the money
in the bank and would go to Penn Yam and
get it. One of them at once proposed to
take him to the village with the rig they had.
while the other remained in the neighborhood
to make some sales of phosphate The

started back for Mr. Hyatt's house. When
within short distance of the residence they
met the sharper they had left in the neigh
borhood They stopped, and after little
conversation about the notes they each drew
a revolver and told Mr.. Hyatt to at once give
them the money or they would blow his
brains out. There was no one within hearing
distance, and as Mr.. Hyatt was unarmed he
gave them the SO 900. They then told him
to get out and walk home. and in case he
made any ouicry or attempt to have them ar
rested they would surely kill him. They
turned the horse around, drove back to this
village. paid for the rig, and took train that
was then due on the Penn Yam and New
YORK railroad for Geneva Mr.. Hyatt walked
home fully realizing that he had been the
victim of a bold robbery and there was no
chance to recover his money. He did not
reveal the. matter to any one until the men
had made their escape.

The shocking accident on the Pennsyl
vania railway near Jersey City was plain
ly the result OF carelessness on the part Of
the telegraph operator, T. 2. Pratt. who
had charge of that particular block OF
the line. The emgrant train had en-
tered it. and the usual time required
by train 10 90 through had elapsed. SO
Pratt si@nalled the express to enter. al
though he had received no notice that the
train in advance had passed out of the
block. Ii cannot even be said in his be-
half that he was an over-worked tired-out
man. for he was employed only eight
hours dav and had had long sleep be-
fore going on duty. His regret is poignant
and he admits his fatal mistake, but such
careessness when human life is at stake
is criminal and will hardlvbe allowed to
60 unpublished.
Ferdinand Wards case has been com
plcated by the arrest OF Warner. which
may render the material testimony OF that
co parcener in crime unavailable. His
trial. which was down tor Monday. had to
be postponed until the changed condition
of things could be looked into and under
stood by all concerned. thought not to be
possible for either Ward or Warner to cs-
cape the punishment due his crime. but
the tact that the direct testimony against
either reposes chiefly in the breast Of the
other, is an embarrassing circumstance
that may make it necessary to let the least
guilty one escape unpunished. There
are large number of indictments against
Ward. whose crookedness took on various
shapes and has made him liable to the
penalties of many different sections of the
criminal code. There ought to be virtue
enough in some one of these indictments
to put Ward in the penitentiary without
letting Warner no unpunished.
