A NEW ENEMY.
Singular Combat in a Cemetery Be.

From the Pitts5urg Dispatch.

From the Pitts5prg Dispatch.
New HAVEN, CONN, Oct. 29.-Joseph D.
King, a painter, has been repainting the
iron fences at the Grove Street cemetery
during the past two weeks. Yesterday he
walked out there to see if the heavy rains
of Saturday night had damaged his work so
as to require it to be done over. He walk ed
down one of the paths when he was startled
by the flap of large wings. Looking up he
saw an immense bird flying toward MIN. 1t
was as large as a buzzard, its head being
the size of quart measure, while two horns
apparently protruded from the head.
Its eyes burned like Goals of fire in
Mr.. Kings eyes and startled Imagination.
Seeing that the bird meant TO attack him,
Mr.. King picked up a short club, and as
the bird bounced upon his head he struck it
a stunning blow, knocking it to the ground.
Before Mr.. King could recover from the
impulse of the blow, the bird attacked him
again and got another rap, which was fol-
lowed up with several more. Even then it
lay on its back and fought with its talons.
Securing a strong string, Mr.. King got it
about the legs of the bird and disabled it.
He went to a neighb BRING house and got a
basket, in which he placed his captive, and
this morning he exhibited it. 1t is a fine
specimen of the tawny horned owl, and
weighs six pounds. This is the first instance
known, locally, of an owl attacking a man.

No More Fancy Steps in the Waltz
From Clara Bells Ne,o York Letter

am able to tell you definitely that the
round dancing of the ensuing winter, as
done by the swells of New York, will be
quietly graceful with enough action i'll it
to avoid all the resemblance to the per-
formers of the comical dclls quadrille, and
yet quiet enough to be unlike the motions OF
the ballet. Every summer fanciful round
dances are introduced at the watering
places, and very pretty they are for the
children. Grown-up people are tempted to
indulge in them, and they often do 50 MIN
bly, and without awkwardness The past
seasons speciality in this line was the York
waltz, which differed from the plain waltz
by introducing sort of hal. and kick in
each revolution. Boys and girls generally
did it in a pleasing and happy manner.
Men were almost invariably awkward at it,
Some of the young women succeeded, and
some failed. in their pra' tice OF the York,
which was an adaptation Of ballet move

interludes of opera at the Metropolitan.
But there are three dapciug masters TO
whom Fifth avenue people 60 every autumn

be made ready for the winter daucing cam
paign. These expositnrs annually agree
upon n method Of instruction. and they
have decided that there shall be no tolera-
tion of fancy steps in the waltz for the com
ing season. This decision will be accepted
by all the beaux and bellies of New York

cities may do a. they please about follow
