A Battle With IN Eagle.

The well-known young farmer Albert
ms, OF Savannah. in this county, had
a hand-to-hand combat with an eagle IN a
field at his farm on last Monday. the par
ticulars of which have since been the suo.
iect of much discussion in that part OF
Wayne County. Mr.. Williams was blowing
and heard a ~rustling of wings in a thicket a
short distance away. He left his pillow
and, going to the spot. was struck uumb
with amazement at finding a huge bird
on the ground. He could scarcely believe
he was not dreaming. At that instant the
bird rose in fight, and he recognized it as
an eagle of unusual proportions. The bird
started for the woods a short distance
away. but one Of it's wings being disabled
it could not fly readily. Mr.. Williams IA
after thu bird as fast as possible. Suddenly
the eagle lighted on the ground. and the
farmer thoughtlessly ran up and attempted
to seize it about the neck. In an instant
the bird attacked him, fastening it's great
beak upon Mr.. Williams leg, at the same
time grasping the lower part OF the leg with
its talons. The eagles beak cut through
the mans pantaloons and sank deep into
the flesh of his leg. The farmer grasped the
bird with his full strength. but was BILE
to remove the beak or the talons. Blows
with the hands were of no avail. Finally
Mr.. Williams managed tn drag along to a
pile of rails a few feet away. and Selling a
club dealt some heavy blows upon the
eagles head. Then the bird loosened its
hold AID fell bruised and stunned with the
farmers blows at his feet. The eagle mea-
sured from tip to tip OF its wings seven feet
and nine inches. It's head and talons were
very large. Mr.. Williams wounds were
dressed and will soon heal, but they are
quite severe.-Lyons Nv. " Republican.

STAINS ON THE MONUMENT.
Unsightiy Marks on the Great Shaft at
Waahington,


WASHINGTON, April S.-The long con-
tinued rains have so stained the surface
of the Washington monument that il
looks as though it were cracked IN sew
eral places. A long stain on the north
side OF the monument, a little below the
500 foot level, attracted general attention
to-day. The assistant to Col. Casey. en-
gineer in charge, explained it thus with
Col. Casey's approval:
Eyes, my attention has been called to
the crack in the monument several times
this morning. AS soon as [ looked
through glass its cause was apparent.
The streak clearly visible TO the naked
eve, aud the others that can be seen bv
the glass, are STAINS caused by the rains
washing the dust from the vertical Joints.
These joints are somewhat more omen
than the horizontal Joints, because the
mortar will stand upright very well. The
mortar is not placed in the vertical Joints
until after, the stones are in place.
and then it is forced in
and the outside pointed of. The
joints are from quarter to three-oighths
Of an inch in size. Inc filing, perhaps,
Is not flush with the face OF the monu-
ment, and dust is apt to accumulate IN
the Joints. A rain storm will wash the
dust out, and il will stain the face, so
tOat the sLreak you see Is probably not
the joint itself, but a dirty mark on the
stone directly beneath the Joint. The
horizontal joints are not quite so open as
the vertical joints, and, beside, the face
oil the monument is a steep, inclined
plane, and the water running down will
pass along the vertical joints as in gut
ter. As time passes the joints will natu-
rally become more open (mind. il is not
the interior OF the joints that is affected
only the surface), and these streaks
viii be more apt to appear. 1t
will probably be necessary. before
great while, to go over the
surface OF the monument to clean it and
point the joints. The pure white marble
of the mVnument is very apt to be dis
cOlored | IOu know the changes in the
atmosp kre change the appearance OF the
monument entirely, and not always IN
the same way. as is shown this morning
Great care will have to be taken to keep
the surface from permanent stains"
The iron stairway Ia the interior OF
the monument is practically completed.
and an elevator is in place. But visitors
are not 10 be admitted TO the monument
until Congress appropriates money for
watchmen TO take care of il. Congress
must also make an appropriation for
operating the elevator before il can be
used.

BURNED IN THEIR COFFINs.
Mr.. NettIetOn's Terrible Discovery 90
Wife and Child Consumed.

From AS, Neao York Beyald.
SANDUsKY, o., April 9.-Singular de-
velOpments have crept out.tO-day regard
ing the burning Of fine buffet baggage
car on the Lake Shore railroad yesterday
between Toledo and Oak Harbor But
little was thought of the matter till Mr..
n. NettletOn returned from Cleveland 90
look for the remains Of bis wife and in-
fant, which were in the car. when the fol-
lowing facts came out: James GiirOy
baggageman, says he smelt smoke in the
car for some time but singularly
enough failed to investigate the cause.
He finally informed the conductor
OF mis- fears and the train was stopped,
but the flames had then got a considerable
start, and IL was clear that the car was
doomed. Mr.. NeJlletOu vas in the sleeper,
but was not notified OF the calamity, and
he knew nothing about it till the train
reached Cleveland.
he WAS then told that 1t was useless to
return, as his wiie's and babv's bodies
were burned up. He 90 back bowev-
er, and found the remains OF his wife and
child partially consumed. Nothing re-
manned of the former but the trunk; the
arms and legs were gone. He procured a
new casket and sent them on TO their des-
tination. He offered 81 600 reward for a
diamond ring which he had put on the
finger of the corpse. There was other val
liable jeweiry in his trunks, besides a
large sum of money, notes and bonds, all
OF which were consumed. Not piece of
baggage was saved.
Mr. NettleUOn is indignant and demands
an investigation. He does not accuse
any particular person Of committing the
robbery, which he says was first commit
ted, and that the car was subsequently
fired to hide the crime. On the other hand
it is asserted that no one could have en-
tered the car without being seen by the
employees. The body OF the baby was
burned and blackened beyond recogni-
ton. Mr.. NettletOn was taking the re-
mains OF mother and child from St. Paul
to Connecticut.

GOULD'S VIEWS.
Confident That the Labor Organizations
viii Go to Pieces

NEW YORK, April 11.-Jay Gould. con-
versing with Tribune reporter to-day,
expressed the opinion that the South
western strikers will break down through
their own weight, their organizations
through their bOycotts, and that their
strikes will make themselves so unpopu-
lar that public opinion Will no longer sup
port them, and their power will be
gone. Already throughout all Texas
the sentiment of the law abiding
citizens is against the strikers.
In Omaha the better class OF knights OF
Labor were Obliged to carry arms to de-
fend themselves against the more unruly
elements OF the order. Only yesterday l
received a deputation from some leading
citizens of Atcbison, headed by Mr.. string
fellow, one of the Oldest lawyers OF the
town. They told me there was no fear of
further disturbances there, as the citizens
had formed law and order society and
were determined to support the laws.
