REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
The Real Estate Market Slightly
Inactive, Owing 10 Christmas.

During the past week real estate men
have had plenty of time to sit in their offices
and discuss the outlook. The holiday
season is never especially conducive to big
real estate business and the present one has
proved no exception. The demand for
land has been light, but prices remain firm
and steady. During the past few days
several transfers of an important nature
have been talked up. and the deals will
probably be cOnsummated in a short time.
The register of deeds Office has presented
very animated appearance tor some time
past, as all persons having deeds to file are
trying to have the work done before the
close of the year. The following table shows

Chicago News.
One of the funniest incidents OF any rail-
road wreck that ever saw-and there are
alwas funny things that one remembers
about railroad disaster-was that of man
who was on my train when it ran through
a misplaced switch at Riverside and col
lided with freight train standing on the
side track. 1t was a terrible smasl-up.
Amos McDaniels, the engineer, saved his
life Oy jumping from his engine before it
struck the freight train, but Andy Nc
Glenn. the fireman, was caught between
the tank and the boler-head Of the engine,
where he was held fast alive, but with his
legs both crushed and cooked. AS soon as
the passengers found that not one of them
was hurt they swarmed out and began
helping to get poor Andy out of his terri

worked like hero, yet all the time using
one hand as if it were crippled. | noticed
it several times, and paid good deal more

let go of it! Well, noticed that man never

SMOKING OUT A MOONsHuNER.
Pig Jack and His RaZOr-Back
swine Forced Out of Their Cavern
by Sui phur Fumes.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
A notable moonshiner arrived at the jail
yesterday in charge of Deputy United States
Marshal John Rule. The prisoners Charles
Meredith. otherwise known as pig Jack, "
of EdmOnSon county.
pig jack is hermit, and for the past
year has been living in cave in the wilds
of his native county. He is about So
years of age. of medium stature, and bears
the outward appearance OF being verltaDle
wild man. His hair and beard are long
and unkempt, while his clothing Is such as
he might have made with his own hands.
The cave wherein Pig Jack" dwelt IS
known as Rock House. 1t is located sew
eral miles from Brownsville. in lonesome,
forsaken district of country. The hermit
took up his abode at the place because, in
his own language. he liked animals better
than men," He herded drove of swine,
and smoked pork constituted the principal
part of his every day diet. This fact led to
the pseudonym, Pig Jack" The grizzly
hermit however, committed breach of
the law when he distilled his own whisky.
He has a weakness for the genuine article,
which amounts to passion.
Deputy Marshal Rule had very eXcit-
ing time in capturing ''Pig Jack" The
hermit. who knows every nook and Granny
in his neck of the woods, would success
fully hide himself whenever the author
tiles of the law instituted a search
for him. Several days since the wild
man was out shooting squirrels when Rule
and several companions on horses pounced
upon him. Pig Jack" took to his heels
and ran like deer. The country was
rocky, and he soon outstripped his pursu-
ers. His cave was well known, however,
and Rule determined to smoke the man out
of his hole. A huge fire was accordingly
built in the mouth of the cave, and when
the flames were at a high point damp leaves
and sulphur were thrown in the blaze. The
effect was most successful, and 'Pig
Jack" as we'll as his herd OF raZor-back
swine, soon came out into the open air.
The hermit is a genial, comical fellow,
and is filled with amazement at the sight
of city. He is full of "reminiscences, and
despite his alleged hatred OF men, is capt.
tai fayorite among the prisoners at the jail.

BEDS.

An item in Shakespeare's will reads, Il gyve
vnto my wife my second best bed, with the fur
niture." These are the very words found under
lined in the last testament of this great man.
UP to the Sixteenth century royalty, as well
as the common people, slept upon straw
sacks the Romans having introduced this lux
ury into England; before that the skins Of ami
mails were used. The largest bed is the great
bed Of Ware, which is so frequently alluded to
in English literature, which will accommodate
over twenty sleepers. The most uncomfortable
bed ever known was probably that Of Pro-
crustes, a Greek robber. He was in the habit
of putting his victims to bed on an iron couch,
to which he adapted each one by cutting off the
legs Of them who were too long and stretching
out those who were too short. Don't you eyer
