For one brief moment the girl wav-
cred, fixed her heavy eyes upon her
lover, who seemed turned to stone;
then, with one wild, agonized look at
her father, who still held his arms out
to her, mutely shook her head.
Quite melodramatic, Mr. Faulk-

Weight, 6i5le pounds, without clothing
We do certify that present and assist

ard thai the statement above Is true anu or
rect.
Horace l.. West John Schimmel, NJ Dimmick,
L. b. Eldrei, o. II. Mott.
One day, according to the local
legend, some workmen were digging n
sever in Main street. Among them
was strapping big Irishman from
Port Jervis-a quarrelsome bull y-who
had more than local reputation as II
pugilist. He had heard of the Pike
County giant, and made up his mind
that before he left town he would
measure strength with him. He did
not have long to wait. One afternoon
Cornelius happened to be in the neigh
borhood of the sewer, when he was es-
pied by the Port Jervis bruiser, who
hurried out of the ditch and confronted
him on the sidewalk
stop" he shouted, as he faced him,
II want to spake wild ye."
Cornelius halted, as he was babe.
$50 ye're the Pike County giant,
are YEP"
Cornelius was too much astonished
to reply.
"Well, I'm the Orange County
bully, and I'm goin to lay we out afor2
go back to me work"
Il d-don't want to fight" stammered
Cornelius, his teeth chattering with
fright.
Eight we must, and quick, too, :"
continued the bully, feeling easy as to
the result of the scrimmage, as he adj
vanced ferociously upon his unwieldly
antagonist.
Cornelius was too big 20 run and too
cowardly to fight, but he had to de-
f,nd himself, so, doubling up his huge
fist, he struck one blow at his oppo-
nent and fled from the scene as rapidly
as his size would allow, without even
looking hack.
The bystanders heard crunch, such
as a battering ram might make as it
strikes a board wall. Then they saw a
tall and angular Irishman spring back !
ward half dozen feet into the air and
fall to the ground like log. They
went to him and found that his face
had been crushed almost into pulp
His nose was tlattened and his jaw
shattered. The bully had been alto
gether unprepared for the blow, and
the entire weight of the two giants
met at the end of Cornelius arm That
established the prowess of the Pike
County man, even if it did not do SO
much for his courage, and from that
time on he was never coayed into an
other fight.
While he was extremely cowardly,
Cornelius would never allow any dis
turbance in his hotel. One day, whe II
he was sitting in his big armchair ut
the open window, II drunken guest be
came unduly boisterous and refused to
, go out when Cornelius requested him
to. Whereupon the host caught the
man by the napc of his neck and S, a.
of his trousers and, without stirring
from his char, tossed him through the
window, over the porch and into the
gutter ON the other side of the pave
| ment.
Cornelius suffered greatly from the
heat In summertime his favorite
rasting-place was in the hotel cellar,
and in the severest winter weather he
was accustomed to walk around the
streets in his shirt-sleeves.

A BIG MAN.
Louls Cornelius, the PIKE County Tnl
Giant.

A mon ter of corporosity died in
Milford, Pike County, Pa, on Sept. 2,
1871. His name was Louis Cornelius,
and he was noted hotelkeeper i'll hi /
day. When in good health Cornelius
weighed between seven and eight hun
dred pounds. His exact live weight
never was known, as he had an extra
ordinary antipathy to being weighed
After his death, which followed a shorS
bat extremely wasting illness, he was
weighed and accurately measured by
five of his fellow townsmen, whose
record of that performance appears to
this day in the following quaint chron-
icle inscribed on the fvleaf of one of
