the Chicago and Alton railroad in a recent
interview, sisted that the passage of the In.
tersiate commerce bill, now pending in
congress, would put complete stop TO all
interstate commerce. He said the passage
of that bill would be demoraliziDg to all
business. and would raise such howl
throughout The length and breadth of the
land that an extra session of congress
would be called to repeal il. He did not
think, however, that the bill would pass,
aud if it did it would be declared uncon-

FUNNY TRAPPING STORIES.
Fishing for Foxes-Two Remarka-
BILE Hunting Episodes.

New York Sun.
Two funny trapping stories come
from Rockland township. this county.
On Saturday last, VIM. johnson, hav-
ing missed sheep. set large steel
trap in the lot hoping to capture the
marauder If be made a second visit.
The next morning the trap was gone.
There was plenty of hair and blood on
the spot, aud every evidence that the
trap had sprung on catamount, which
had succeeded in breaking the fasten-
ings and walked off with it.
johnson set other traps la the vi
entity, and two or three days ago
found an immense catamount In one
of them. 1t was caught by one fore
leg. Attached to the other fore leg
was the trap that disappeared on Sat
urday night. Even thus handicapped
the ferocious animal showed fight, and
sprang at johnson the full length of
the chain that fastened the trap. A
rife ball through its head dispatched
it. 1t weighed sixty pounds.
The weather has been so warm and
pleasant all through the fall that
woodchucks, which usually hole up
early, have been about as usual up to
a few days past. They have been
such pest on the farm of VIM. Gill
more that he has spent good deal of
time trapping them. Not being fond
of them as food, be cast their carcasses
into small hollow in an out of the
way spot.
He soon discovered that foxes were
in the habit of coming to the hollow
and dining on ground hog meat. Gil
more is no hunter. and had no gun.
The foxes were too sly and too cum
ming to be caught in any of the traps
set for them, so he resolved 10 try a
new way of capturing Reynard.
Taking twenty feet of strong linen
twine, he tied to one end of it a COM
mon eel hook. This he baited nicely
with a small but choice piece of ground
hog meat. He placed the bait care
lessly on the ground in the hollow,
and hid himself behind stump few
feet away, with the other end of the
Irvine in bis hand, the Irvine leading
away from the bate being carefully
covered with leaves. He waited an
hour or so before be was awarded by
the sight of fox, and then saw
large red fellow stealing down the
slope on the opposite side of the hol-
low, trailing splendid brush.
The fox circled round and round
the meat, gradually closing in upon it,
and finally seized it and started away.
He had taken but a step or two when
Gilmore yanked the line. The hook
caught. in the fox's jaw, and in spite
Of the ground and lofty tumbling that
be at once INDUCED in he could not
tear it loose or break the Irvine. Gil
more managed to tangle the fox's legs
in the Irvine until the animal was as
helpless as fly in spiders web. He
then dispatched it with club. Gill
more has captured three foxes that
way dnring the past week or so.

Miss Charlotte Thompson and her
company will appear in the new play
Pulls Denhore on Tuesday evening May
IL. This piece has made a most decided
hit wherever it has been played, while the
company have received many compliments
for their fine acting.
Miss Thompson is supported by a very
strong dramatic company, with @. G..
Craig as leading.
The plot scene of PhiHis Denhore is
laid in England, from thence it is taken
to Paris, and then back to England, while
the last act takes place in Spain.
Miss Thompson's acting as "Phillis" is
superb. The realism with which she in
vests the part is indeed thrilling, while
her emotional powers are unsurpassed.
PhiHis Denhore is a dramatization of
Conway's Dark Days and the Incl
dents Of the drama follow as closely upon
the story as is consistent with dramatic
construction.
