A WILD CAT OR CATAMouNT Last week
the little village of Shuresville, on the Susque-
hanna river, near Conowingo, was greatly ex-
cited and alarmed by the bowling of wild
beast, which made its appearance in the place
about ten O'Clock at night. Mrs. John CAlwell
and Mrs. William Moore, who live on opposite
sides Of the road, heard its screams, as 1t was
pursued by apack of dogs, and looking out of
their windows they saw strange animal,
which they describe as about as large as an
ordinary dog. 1t uttered piercing and blood
curdlng screams and took refuge on Mrs.
Moores' porch, where the dogs fought 1t but
were soon driven off by the beast Mr. William
shure heard the screams of the animal but did
not see it.
The next day Mr., George Forwood saw the same
or similar animal on Dir. John Sappington's
farm, near Darlington. Mr.. Forwood saws IL
it was nearly mouse-color. lie tried to set his
dogs on 1t but they were deferred by its appear.
ance. lie never saw anything like it before.
Other persons report having seen the tracks
OF strange animal in the neighboIhood of the
Susquchanna Paper Mills, and the varmint is
also reported to have been seen on MIR. William
Silver's farm, near Chenille.
1t is said that dog belonging to Mr.. John
Heating, tenant on Mr.. J X. worthington's farm
near Genville, was found dead, its side being
terribly lacerated, as by the claws of some
terocious beast. 1t is supposed the dog lost
its life fighting the unknown animal.

AGAIN REMAEDED.-Last Saturday, in obedi-
ence to writ of hsbcas corpus, issued by
Judge Duffy, of Baltimore, Sheriff Hughes
took to Baltimore city Major D. R. Burrill, of
Bel Air, who has been convicted in four cases
of violating the local option law, and fined
$75 and costs in each case, amounting in all to
S475. 1t was claimed by Burrlrs counsel,
Mr.. William l.. Cooley, that the new prohibition
law superseded the old law under which his
client was convicted and that the fines were IL
legal. After hearing Mr. Cooley's statement,
Judge Duffy remarked that while he had con.
current jurisdiction with Judge Waters, who
imposed the fines, he could not hear the case
until he was convinced that he had superior
authority. He therefore remanded Major
Burrill to the custody Of the sheriff. Upon re-
turning to Bel Air Major Burrill gave bond for
the payment of his fines and costs, pending the
decision of the Court of Appeals, to which
court the case has been taken on writ Of error
He was thereupoa released from custody. The
State was represented before Judge Duffy by
States Attorney Webster.

NATURAL GAS IN ARKANSAS.


Tm ArrEN presents this morning an
exhaustive report upon the discovery OF
natural gas ut Fort Smith, Ark. Consid-
cradle space Is surrendered TO the report,
but We believe this TO be justified by the
importance Of the event. II is n matter In
which the people OF the whole South, as
well as those Of Arkansas, are profoundly
interested. II natural gas is to be found
at Fort Smith il becomes evident that no
section OF the country may lay claim
to monopoly Of this fuel, which
is gradually revoluiioniEing the manu-.
featuring system Of the country. In
Pennsylvania the average depth ut which
the gus IL found il about ! 800 feet; in
Ohio about 400. in Indiana about 900
At Fort Smith the heroic and determined
Mr.. Kelley did not ind 1t in necessary
quantity until lac had penetrated the earth
to the depth Of 1900 feet. It, therefore,
seems that Il is largely question Of dis
lance. The pressure developed at Fort
Smith is tremendous and II IL mndo Ger
tain that Fort Smith has natural gas TO
spare. And what a splendid record Of
patient, hopeful ondcayor and unqucncha.
ble courage is that which Mr.. Kelley and
his associates have madcl Itdocs one good
to read Of IL. Thertriumph issuprcme, and
they are entitled 10 all possible honor.
We have no doubt that, upon the circula
ton Of this issue Of TnE- ArrEAL, the
drills will be vet going in oil parts Of the
grand State Of Arkansas. What il Il in Ia,
way Of natural wealth that the people o.
that State do not cnjoy2 II is not hall ex
plorcd, yet We know there il 10 be- found
within its borders almost every mineral
that has commercial value. And Ia addi
ton TO the treasures Of the carth's cav
crns, there Is a soil upon which any
thing and everything win grow AM
climate remarkable for It's salubriou'
quality. The people Of Fort Smith ar,
to bo congratulated cordially. That I
will become the center Of manufacturing

safety Of all forms Of government: And
President Diaz assured the members OF the
National Press Association OF the United
States that he took our Government for
his model and desired nothing SO much as
to share in our wonderful prosperity by q
reciprocity treaty that would put the two
Republics on dead level Of opportunity
in trade and traffic and lead to the devel-
opment Of the marvellous resources that
lie hidden and untouched in the bowels Of
the Sicrras from the Rio Grando TO the
Yucatan and from the Gull OF Mexico to
the Pacific Ocean. No, there is no room
for revolution Of any kind by anybody
and in Mexico there is no excuse for IT.,
and the man or men who would attempt il
would, by the general judgment, and
justly, forfeit their lives. The Next

Tor the growth and expansion OF their in

ing, and the great mineral interests they
are developing, is an assurance to the
Mexican people that the American people
do sympathizo with them in all theil
national and rational ambitions, and will
do what they can TO help them to pre-
serve the peace and TO an uninterrupted
prosperity.
