house was looted and burned. The ladies
sought refuge on boats. but the mob
threatened to destroy any boat that
should receive them, and after some
delay they reached a point where
Fulton had been compelled to remain.
DAYS later they were put in boats and
conveyed TO Canton. The value of the

Lower California. Here glanced the
crimson Of the red cross, and there gilt

the one sacred with memories Of

defiance of the more modern Turk. The
intertwined cross and crescent also recalled

WASHINGTON, Sept. T.. - Special
Agent Tingle. of the treasury department,
has returned to this city from the seal
islands OF Alaska. He left Alaska shortly
after the seizures of foreign ~~calers had
been made by Capt Abbey. In the case

the master of the vessel acknowledged
having made his catch of seal along the
seal islands. These predatory %sealers, he
says, make a practice Of stealing ashore
under cover of fucs and clubbing seals.

veyed on board ship to be skinned. Large
numbers of seals are also shot in the sea.

A Mountains Crest Dotted with Bottom
less PITS.

4 cowboy related to the scribe the
other evening, a curious story regarding
the summit of Green mountain, an elcva-
ton of the Sweetwater county.
1t seems that on the crest OF the noun
tain is a plateau, containing many hun
bred acres. This wide expanse is very
level, and is dotted with numerous pit
falls, as dangerous as they are deceitful.
1t requires indeed a close inspection to
recognize their deadly characteristics.
Sunk straight down. their surface is lev |
with that of the ground. To the eye,
they present the appearance simply of
barren spots of a blackish sand. But
these barren spots are but the coverings
of bottomless pits. the matter beneath the
sand surface being a black, sticky, NAL
odorous, alkali mud.
The man or animal caught in the cling
ing embrace of this sticky, dirty mass, is
doomed beyond nope, unless some forum
ate saving circumstance intervenes.

4. short time ago. a cowboy belonging
to one of the ranges adjacent, rode up the
mountain 10 look for some cattle that had
not yet left the plateau. He found the
stock, and started to drive the bunch down
the mountain. One immense steer broke
back on HIM several times, being unwil
ling to leave his summer quarters. Finally
the range rider got out of patience, and
determined to rope the refractory ANNA
and give him a fall by way of warning.
Accordingly the next time the steer
turned tail, the cowboy was after him
with a swinging moose. Across the plateau

The loop described it, arches and settled
over the wide horns. As the lariat tight

leaped into one of the pitfalls. As the
lariat was loopcd about the saddle horn,
the horse and rider were ierked bodily into
the hole after the steer, and at once be-
gan following him to the hidden and fatal

Understanding what had occurred, and
realizing the necessity of prompt action,

SOUTH PENN PROsPECTs.

The prospects of the building OF
the South Pennsylvania Railroad
grow brighter day by day. In fact
there does not seem to be 4 reason
able chance for the enterprise to
fail of completion. 1t is business
undertaking. entered into by bust
ness men, and any attempt OF those
who have been intrusted with the
management to cripple or scuttle 1t
will be resented by them.
The South Pennsylvania Railroad
is valuable property, unless 1t Is
sacrificed. It passes through a sec
ton of the State rich in mineral re-
sources and prolific in fruits OF the
soil. 1t is shorter than any other
route between this city and Pits
burgh, and its moderate grades will
keep its maintenance down to the
minimum OF trunk line road ex-
penses.
1t lis easy to see, therefore, that the
enterprise not only promises well to
its share-owners, but holds out the
pledge of benefit to the State and
the people. That Mr.. Gowen means
to complete it there is no doubt.
That he will be able to accomplish
his purpose is equally clear, unless
the wrechers whose schemes were
defeated by the Court are enable to
discover some other means of Grip
pling it. They should understand
that the officers of the Common
wealth will not permit such tricks.
The people want this road.-Har-
r.iSbnrn Patriof.
