You have a noble looking dog
here. was my remark to the master
Of a Wisconsin farm house, where
had stopped for a nights lodging and
been kindly welcomed as one Of the
family group.
The reference was 10 an enormous
mastitf that lay at full length on the
floor. 4 two-y ear. old BABY was toy
ing with the huge ears, while the older
children were turnbling promiscuous-
ly over the limp form.
"Yes, replied Mr.. kuowlton, :'aud
he j. as noble as he looks. He de-
serves all the kindness we can bestow.
There Is something pathetic in his
history"
saw that my entertainer was a
man Of feeling and intelligence, and
that evidently the grea: yellow brute
could not have had better master.
"rrobably you have had him for
some years, ! said.

i rubbed his face and hands with
snow, and tried to revive him but it
was useless. IL the meanwhile a
neighbOr OF mine came up and hurried
off to the village for assistance. In
about an hour the unfortunate man
was placed in good quarters; but he
remained unconscious, and that night
he died.
1t was afterwards discovered that he
was an Englishman, with no relatives
in this country, and no friend but his
faithful dog.
i tried the animal by two or three
names, and found that he responded
only to that of Lion. He seemed to
take his masters death very hard,
showing as much grief as o human
being could have done. But he took
strongly to me, appearing to bear in
mind the circumstances of onr first
meeting. He would not leave his
masters body while it was in sight
out when it had been lail away, he
seemed to accept the inevitable with
a perfect knowledge that all was
over.
i have not the least doubt that he
had started off in quest of assistance
for the helpless man at the time of
discovering me.
Ever since that day he has made
himself one Of our household and as

DISASTROUS COLLISION
On the Trans-0 Ohio Division OF the
Baltimore and Ohio.
-Four Men Killed and Three Others Fatally
Iniured---The Train Dispatcher at
Newark the Cause.

A disastrous collision occurred at Dill
Ions Falls, q station on the B. X D., be-
tween GAINESVILLE and Newark, about .
o'clock on Tuesday night, by which several
men lost their lives, and others were
fatally hurt. At this writing details are
very meager, but from what can be learned
it seems that the first section OF
twentythrees was laying on the
main track, when the second section ran
into it. Charley Lisk, the conductor Of the
first section, was 80 badly injured that be
died, and his brakeman, Ed. Trott, had
both legs so badly crushed that his recov'
cry is rendered doubtful. Engineer John
son, Of the second section, vas also in
iured. A brother OF Conductor Lisk is
also reported to be among the list killed
The cause of the accident is said to lay
with the train dispatcher at Newark.
A later dispatch from the scene Of the
wreck makes it a very serious affair. II
states that the freight going West ran into
the hind end of another, and that q train
from the East also collided with the first
train shortly afterward, and that two men
were instantly killed, two more died this
morning and that three others have receiv'
ed necessarily fatal injuries. Conductor
Lisk and his brother are both dead. The
names OF the others cannot be obtained.

AN OUTRAGE.

Valuable Coal Bank Tools Destroyed by
Some Malicious Persons.
Last Monday night some evil intending
person or persons went into the glass house
coal bank in the Eighth ward, operated by
Kasley & Brooks, and did no small amount
of damage to the tools that had been left
by the miners who are working there. Ten
sets Of drilling tools we're found, and the
needles, tramping bars and scrapers were
either bent or broken and scattered along
the passages. The drills it is supposed
were hid in the idle rooms where water has
been allowed to collect, as some OF
them have been found there.
The handles were broken out Of
all the picks and shovels that could be
found and the axes bear sIedge mark.
Seven saws were either broken or bent in
such q manner as to render them vslueless.
Eighteen cans of powder were emptied in
the mud and several oil cans were subject
ed 10 sledge hammer blows, In short there
was scarcely anything in the mine that es,
capped their destructive hands.
An operator of the mine said the follow.
ing to a REGISTER reporter yesterday: "All
the men we have now formerly belonged to
the miners union. On several occasions the
operators of Wheeling have made PROPOSE
tions to them 10 settle their grievances by
arbitration, which was refused on the part
of the president Of the union. The
majority of the men now i'll
our employ became Disguised
with the way matters were carried on in the
Union and went to work. Those compos-
ing the present Union have boycotted
them since they left and failed to succeed
in getting them to quit work. Now, it is
very evident to me that disinterested par,
ties never broke up their tools lsst Monday
night. 1t is equally evident that the man
or men who found them were acquainted
with the bank, for they were over a mile
from its mouth. So we are morally certain
who did the damage, although we did not
see them in the act"
