One of the many curious incidents
which happen almost daily in New York
occurred on recent afternoon in the
Cyclorama building at Seventh avenue
and Eifty~ffth street, where the painting
OF the battles of Vicksburg is exhibited.
Capt. L. S. Hudson, a veteran of the war,
and who took part with his battery, the
Chicago Mercantile, in the conflict, was
rehearsing the incidents Of the hard fought
day In his capacity OF lecturer at the
Cyclorema. Avisitor suddenly interrupted
him by asking; 'Who was in your front.

We stood on little hill in advance OF his

who was Mr.. Tnehmap, Wall street

greatly affected at this strange meeting.

most curious freak of nature was dis
covered last night by reporter Of this
paper. II has been confined in one room
for twenty-six years past, and it was
known to exist only by a few persons.
After climbing q rickety staircase IN a
three-story tenement house at No. l449
Penn avenue the visitor entered one room
1t contained two beds and Que cot, an old
bureau, one table, two or three chairs and
a cooking stove. Lying on one OF the
| beds was human being, who is one OF
the most remarkable monstrosities seen
outside Of a circus side-show He is
man twenty-seven years of age, whose
height is only three and one-halt feet His
face gives him the appearance OF wild
man, having thick stubs Of a beard COW
ering 1t, and thick black growth of hair
on his head.
Around his neck measures fifteen and
one-half inches and around the forehead
five inches. His hands were compared
with the hand Of three year-old child
| lying at the foot OF the bed, and were
found to be much smaller. They were
then put alongside the hand of another
| child OF two years sleeping on the cot
and found to be about the same size. His
chest Is very small. His legs measure
aboutssixteen or eighteen inches around
the upper part and the least bit smaller
| above the knee. Below the knee they are
very ieshy. In all, his limbs are about
the size OF large, heavy man. His feet
could not be seen as they were covered,
and as he was sleeping the father, Joseph
Chaser, an employee Of II. & j. Heinz's
pickle works, did not care to wake him.
Mr.. Chaser stated that they were an un-
usual size.
The man seems to gradually grow
larger from the top of his head down. He
Is deaf and dumb and cannot utter a
single syllable.
Mr.. Chaser, who is German, stated
That the child was born in Cincinnati. Its
mother, he said, fell down flight OF
stairs few weeks before its birth, thus
causing the strange shape. A Cincinnati
physician thinks this was the cause.
When the child was one year old the
family moved to Pittsbure, taking room
in the above-named house, where il has
since lived for twenty-sx years, seldom II
ever leaving the room or the hallway out
side the door.
New York museum manager, who
heard of the freak, offered $500 for it.
ana $500 was offered by a Cincinnati
museum manager. Another offer was
made OF $50 per week. All these offers
were refused. The man or child was
never ON the street but once, when he
escaped the Vigilance Of his stepmother
IL Will seem strange when 1t is stated that
the neighbors know nothing of this
monstrosity. The father has also one
son, twenty-one years of age, of unsound
mind.

Cruelty to Animals.

There is little doubt but what Henry
Bergh's attempt to regulate the care of
animals in transit on railroads was a
worthy act. The suffering Of nearly all
animals shipped by rail is proven by the
marked shrinkage that takes place.
Many States now have laws that stock
cannot be kept penned up in a railroad
car except stated number Of hours, the
railroad company being held responsible
for its violation. A case in point is here
cited: Mr.. o. ii. ROminger, of Illinois,
who is engaged in importing fine blood
ed horses, put a thoroughbred stallion on
the cars in New Orleans on Monday at IL
O'Clock, and left orders at Houston to
have him fed and watered, but Oh his ar
rival here last night it was found that
the seal of the car had never been
broken. Feed and water was in the car,
but as the company had no one whose
duty it was to attend TO it., the poor
horse was without anything to eat or
drink for Il hours. The poor fellow
showed his blood when released in the
game way that he stepped of.

MAHONEY CITY. Pa, January 2I.-The
Ellangowan cOlliery, owned and Oper-
ated by the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company, two miles from
here, was the scene of a terrible accident
yesterday, by which two miners were in
stantly killed and two others seriously
injured. Jacob Branshire and Nicholas
Cannute, miners, and two labOrers, were
working in the gangway in the above
colliery, when terrible crash was heard
in all parts of the mine. 1t was discOv-
cred that about 10 tons of rock and coal
had fallen, completely burying alive
Branshire and Cannute, but only partial
ly covering the tive laborers, who extri-
Gated themselves. When assistance ar
rived, the work of rescuing the other
two began, and an hour subsequently
the bodies were found. Death must
have been instantaneous. as almost
every bone was broken.
