a Queer Fight.

a rare combat took place last Friday
afternoon in a building occupied by the
fish commission, in Washington, be,
tween two little pets Of that institution.
The aggressOr, and the victor as well,
was the newly arrived "Monster" from
the ella river, i'm Arizona, the only
species of lizard whose bite is known to
be poisonous, and the victim was a two
year. old alligator from Florida. The
"MOnster" is fourteen inches long, AMI
about twice the weight of his antago-
mist. Both reptiles were in a semi.tor-
pid condition, and for some purpose
were removed from their glass cases and
placed beside each other upon the stone
floor. The alligator came in contact
with the lizard, whose jaws closed with
a snap upon the fore paw OF the alliga-
tor. The latter made gallant fight for
liberty, but finally succumed.
The attendants sought by variety of
means to release the alligator. The
'Monster" was seized by the tail and
held up in the air, taken by the bloated
neck and choked severely, plunged In
water, and maltreated in other ways,
but to no purpose. Then sharp wires
were thrust into his nose, and finally
a large trowel was forced into his mouth,
but such was the force Of his grip that
the steel blade, though considerably
bent in the effort, failed to release the
imprisoned paw. The meanings were
pitiful, and the attendants were moved
to renew their efforts to effect a separa-
ton. The trowel was reintroduced in
the "Monster's" mouth. 1t was work
Of several minutes to disen2age the
hooked fangs from the wounded paw.
The cOmbltants were placed in their
separate receptacles, tie alligator prob
ably to die of the venom in its system.

As west. bound freight train on the
Cincinnati, Washington and Baltimore
Railroad WAS about 10 cross bridge
near Guysville, about twenty miles
from Parkersburg, w. Va, last Thurs
day night. COW attempted 10 cross the
track, and being thrown under the cars,
derailed the entire train, with the ex-
ception of the engine and two coal cars.
The cars were on the bridge before they
left the track, and went crushing down
into the river below. Seventeen tank
cars, filed with oil, Immediately ignited,
causing terrible conflagration. The
fire was so intense that the stone piers
soon gave way, and the bridge fell,
spreading the burning oil until the
Hooking river was continuous flame
for quarter of a mile. All of the cars
and the bridge, together with consider
able timber were destroyed. The loss
on the bridge is 0,0GO; on the oil, the
property of the Camden Consolidated

Should Take Care Of His Wife.

The way the President persists in going
to and coming from railroad train is
atlength causing much talk. He inva-
riably has his private carriage driven
into the coal yard, alongside of the rail-
road track, or else makes the driver
stand the horses on side track, some
distance from the depot proper. The
reason this Is done. 1t is stated, is be-
cause the President wishes to escape
tie crowd which usually awaits him
when he leaves or arrives. But this
seems strange, because the President
generally manages to make his arrange
ments to go out of town upannounced,
except on very few occasions. The
cause of the talk against this foolish
habit of making the carriage stand down
the tracks outside the station, was the
narrow escape that Mrs. Cleveland had
on Thursday night, when she went
down 10 meet the President on his re-
turn home. The driver drove TO his
usual place, on the side tracks, and the
horses became frightened at an engine.
and the driver had hard work to quiet
them. Even when the President crossed
the tracks and tried to get into the car
riage the horses behaved so badly that
it was some minutes before he could get
in. III the President wishes to risk his
life on car tracks rather than pass
through a crowd of American citizens,
of course it is nobody's business but his
own, but certainly Mrs. Cleveland
should not be placed in such Il position.

Obituary..

In memory OF BETTE FAiDLEY, Oldest
daughter OF Daniel and Sallle Faidley. Writ
ten by her Sunday-school teacher in Massa-
chusetts. Bette Faidley was born in Jeffer-
son county w. We, and died In Logan coun-
ty, Ohio, August 20, 1856, aged IL years,
months and ~ days.
"Some have fallen asleep Cor. Is, 6.
Our loving Saviour has called another OF his
dear children home. AS He comes and takes
one and another OF our loved ones, we seem
still TO hear him saying to us: "Suffer thy
child TO come unto me and forbid it not, for
OF such is the kingdom of Heaven" 1t is as
much as to say, l want thy child to share the
blessedness Of my kingdom. 1t Isl precious
comfort to know that Bettie's sickness and
suherings are over, and that she is now with
the Lord Jesus whom she had so long loved
and trusted. 1t is glad thought to us to re-
m ember that she gave her heart 10 him in
her earliest years. When sickness came, she
was peaceful and happy in the sense Of His
presence and love- and even when death was
drawing near she could say. 81 will fear no
evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me-" Could she speak 10
us now surely II would be TO tell us TO rejoice
with her and to look forward TO the happy
meeting again in that home OF everlasting
JOY and gladness, where God himself shall
wipe the tears from off all faces.
Where the child has found It's mother,
Where the mother finds her child;
Where dear families are gathered,
That were scattered on the Wild
Sister we shall meet and rest
Mid the holy and the blest.
Bette Lee Faidley belonged 10 the Metho-
dist church at Pleasant Grove. The funeral
took place from her fathers residence Sab
bath afternoon, conducted by Rev. Charles
Fansworth, assisted by Rev. 4. Il. Howtest,
interment at the Bellefontaine cemetery.
The pall-bearers were six young ladies dress
ed in white: Allie and Ermine Detwiler,
Annie Miller, Sallie Woods, Ida Licklider
and Minnie Longbrake. These are some of
the young ladies that made her happy at her
birthday surprise. She was loved and es-
teemed by all that knew her. To tho family
we extend our heartfelt sympathies

The elections on Tuesday showed
some dissatisfaction i'm what have here
tofore been Democratic strongholds.
In our opinion the Presidents action in
allowing the Republicans to keep the
offices is not calculated to win Demo-
cratic support for him. And he certain
ly cannot be so blind as to think it will
gain any Republican votes. Civil SER
vice reform is all right in theory, but
when election time comes, good, hard
practical sense is what is needed.
