A Tough Bear Story.

A correspondent of the Day Center
sends us the following version OF the
bear-shooting in that vicinity ~ short
time agO Ezekiel COlsOn set bear-trap
about one and a half miles from this vii
lage, and on going to it a day rtwo later
found q medium-siZe black bear partly
eaten up in the trap. He removed the
bear from the trap and reset 1t, and also
set other other traps around the dead
bear. and on the following night great
noise was heard coming from the di-
rection of the traps, whereupOn
quite a squad Of our men and boys
started out to see what was caught
some with lanterns and others with guns
Among the latter was our crack shot,
Charles Van Every, with his unerring
rifle and drawing near the traps they
found caught and firmly held a monster
cinnamon olored bear BY the dim light
of the lantern Van caught sight of the
bears glaring eyeballs, and instantly
drew a bead on him and sent bullet
crashing through his head, hitting him
exactly between the eyes, which brought
old bruin to the ground. While he was
gasping in the agOnies of death, a
would-be huntsman, who, by the
way, claimed to have killed the bear,
while in close proximity to his head,
raised his Winchester rifle and shot the
expiring brute in the mouth. The bear
turned his CLASSY eyes for an instant on
this last assailant, and with look of in
tense disgust on his countenance closed
them forever in death. The bear meas
ured six feet ten inches in length, and is
said to be the largest one ever killed in
this section.-iSdrdt0ga Journal.

HEWTTT'S GREAT VICTORY.

At 3 o'clock this morning we know that
Mr.. Hewitt's election as Mayor OF New
York city is certain by twenty or thirty
thousand plurality. This means great trl-
umph for the conservative elements over
Mr.. Georges communism.
Mr.. Powderly had taken an active part
for George, and endeayOred to bring the
laboring classes solidly to his support.
Mr.. Roosevelt represented the same idea
as Mr.. Hewitt In this difficulty we must
count both Hewitt's and Roosevelts
votes on the side of conservatism, law,
and order.
Georges vote is $4,000, and the com
bined vote of Hewitt and Roosevelt was
about 10000
The eyes of the whole country have
been fixed on this contest in New York
city, and if it had resulted otherwise the
labor element of the whole country might
have been misled into Mr.. Georges most
impracticable falacies, and the disastrous
results would have been incalculable.

As THE TIMES is a business newspaper,
we must look at certain facts in busl-
ness-like manner. What an odd thing
that the Dispatch should have understood
(as it did yesterday the proposition made
bv Virginias creditors to settle with her
as meaning that if Virginia's revenues
should hereafter amount TO asum sufficient
to pay 100 per cent annual interest on
their bonds, they were to have that
amount annually. The proposition IS
perfectly plain and distinct one that
enough of the revenue, at the present
rate of taxation, shall be put aside to pay
the general expenses Of the State Govern
ment as they now stand enough more to
meet the appropriations for the public
free schools as they now are, and that
what is kept over shall be apportioned
amongst the bOndhoiders.
If the revenues shall increase the State
will have their benefit, which she can ap-
ply to paying off the principal of the debt,
or in the way of reducing taxation, as
she may choose.
How much better this than to present
the spectacle to the world of the chief
executive officers of the State Govern
ment goading the inferior officers into
defving the supreme law Of the land and
trampling on the rights Of those citizens
who claim the protection Of that law
merely because they do claim its protec-
ton.

ENVIABLE BUTTERCUPS.

A little way below her chin,
Caught in her bosom's snowy hem,
Some buttercups are fastened in
All how envy them!
They do not miss their meadow place,
Nor are they conscious that their skies
Are not the heavens but her face,
Her hair and mild blue eyes.
There, in the downy meshes pinned,
Such sweet illusions haunt their rest,
They think her breath the fragrant wind,
And trembe on her breast;
AS If, close to her heart, they heard
A captive secret slip its cell,
And with desire were sudden stirred
To find voice and tell

THE AxaRcmIsrs' TRIAL
TinieIh Day --CIestnE Plea for the
Pfisoners
IBy telegraph 70 tbs Dispsieh.l

lBy telegraph 20 the Dispsteh.l
CHICAGO, August l7.--This is the
ff,ieih day Of the Anarchists trial, and
Captain Blnlk, the leading counsel for
the defence, began the closing plea for
tbe prisoners as soon rs the jury were
sesied. Captain Black stated that
dynamite, so far as the origin Of its
manufacture was concerned, had no
connection at all with the doctrines OF
Socialism, and then laid down this to
he Ibe rule Of Law The jury should fel-
lor in their deliberations - When
man is charged or sought to be charges
with q crine, rs in this case, the
people must show who threw the
bomb - who did the deed - and
must show that these defendants were
connected directly with the guilty man."
lie then proceeded TO enbghten the jury
that TIE State uistook their functions
altogether. The speaker said that the
counsel Tor the State were wrong when
one Of them advised the jury that upon
them il was depended to MAINTAIN law
and government, because these defend
ants plotted tgAinst the State. They
were revolutionists, it WAS said, but
that was Doc true. There could be no
revolution except when the heart of the
people rose to redress some great
wrong. Continuing, the counsel
gave scientific account Of dy-
rsmite and the experiments with
il ss an 'geDcy Of modern warfare.
Then be declared that dynamite was in
the world TO stay, and that these de-
feDdSnts were in Dowise responsible for
it. But the HsymsIket bomb was
thrown on the night Of May 4th, and
murder resulted from it. Who was re-
sponsible : The man who threw the
bomb; 10 one else. he argued that
these defendants could not be convicted
as accessories before the fact. He said
that The State had all through this case
attempted TO secure conviction by sp-
pealing 10 the jury's prejudice and pas
sion, and absurdly declaring that the
purity Of our institutions depended on
The punishment Of these men.
