IN A MAD HOUSE.
Fate Of a Woman Who Consulted For.
tune Teller.

HARRISBURG. Pa, October 3l.-
Mrs. Rebecca Schilling, of Hamburg.
Berks County, was brought to the
State Asylum here yesterday.
In August last she visited Reading,
where she had her fortune told by
an old woman. She was told, among
other things, that she would receive
letter very soon which would con
tain bad news,
Mrs. Schilling, who is nervous
and excitable woman, became agita-
ted at once and went home grieving.
A few days later she received letter
announcing the dangerous illness of
a near relative. She then became
violently insane and locked herself
in a room, mailing the shutters and
doors and refused to take food. For
five days she tasted, and during that
time she loudly called for help, say
ing that she was being murdered.
The physicians advised her husband
to have her removed to the State
Asylum, but he hesitated until she
began to pull her hair out and other
wise injure heraelf Her case is
considered hopeless. Moral, Keep
away from fortune tellers.

Monument to the Mayor.

Some of the denizens at the head
of Peasants street are carefully pre-
serving the seed of sun-fower which
grew up on that street last summer
to the height of eight feet six inches
sin the clear" (The stock is still
standing and may be seen by any
curious observer who is familiar
enough with the flower to distinguish
it in forest of weeds.
The object in preserving the seed
of this particular sun-aower is to re-
plant and cultivate until they have
grown so lofty and luxuriant as to
constitute a befitting monument to
the fastidious taste and diligent su-
pervision of the Mayor, and the i'm
partial and indefatigable scrutiny
of an aesthetic municipality.
In the exuberance of their graft
tude these same denizens propose to
preserve some of the products of the
tomato crop which grew hard by the
aforesaid sun-fower ON the same
street. 1t is designed that these to-
mato vines shall form q rich green
plat around the aforesaid monumental
sun flower when it has reached it's
magnificent proportions.
N. B. In response to many specu-
lations as to why the Mayor is grow
ing park on the upper end of Pleas
ants street it may be explained that
he is very fond of partridge hunting
and that will be more convenient and
less expensive than hunting over
somebody's farm,

A Railroad in Which We are (NOt) In
terested.

The talk has now ring of conf
dence in the building of the railroad
projected from Rowlesburg to Union
town. The survey of the route has
been completed and it is even assert
ed that the work of construction will
be begun this winter.
The building of this road suggests
two questions of very great impor
lance to this community:
l. Will it destroy the prospect of
completing the Black bottle?
2. Will it hasten or delay the ex-
tension of the F., M. & p?
1t is understood that the Pennsyl-
vania company is the protector of
the proposed road If that company
gets into this State by that route it
is not probable that it will ever want
to come up the Monongahela River
as it has heretofore contemplated.
Moreover if they furnish route
across from Rowlesburg to Union
town the building Of the Blackbot-
tie TO the same terminus would be
like building parallel road between
the same points, and the question
would be whether any company
would venture so much, however bit
ter the competing spirit might be.
1t is entirely possible, if not proba-
Bile that the B. Il 0. company would
some day find it paying investment
to complete the Blackbottle as a
feeder to their lines east and west,
but if the Pennsylvania company
has, in the meantime taken posses
sion of the traffic between the same
same points, the B. Il O. would hest
tate to make such an investment.
Still further, if the threat which
the Pennsylvania company has kept
hanging over the B. q O. company
of coming into this State by way of
the Monongahela, is withdrawn, will
it not likely postpone the extention
of the F., M. u F.? Or on the other
hand, would the B. & O. conclude
that by extending the F., M. q P. to
Uniontown they were furnishing a
competing line with the newly pro-
jected road ofthc Pennsylvania COM
pany?
1t is not quite clear just what eff
feet the proposed new road will have
upon our local interests. But it is
quite clear that it will have an i'm
portant bearing, and it may be posi-
BILE that we will wish that our Pres
ton county neighbors had not been
so enterprising and speedy in their
new enterprise.

AN EXQUISITE ENGRAVING.
Gateway to the Garden Of the Gods,
Colorado, With View Of Pixies
Peak in the Middle Distance.

A very costly and elegant steel
plate engraving has just been execut-
ed in the highest style of the art
copies of which from a limited sup
ply, are now ready for delivery, and
will be sent to any part of the world
on receipt of % cents each, in stamps
or coin. The nobia grandeur of the
"Entrance" to the Garden Of the
Gods" is the favorite theme of poet
and painter. The outer parapets
are pure white, while the interior
columns spring boldly from the plain
to height of $50 feet-the whole
suggests the ruins Of vast temple.
These towering walls form majes-
tic frame work for the snow capped
summit of Pixies Peak which reveals
itself among the clouds in the far
distance. To secure an early copy
of this admirable work of art, ad-
dress John Sebastian, Gen. Tk't d
Pass. Agent, Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific Ry. enclosing the price, 25

NEARLY AsPHYxIATED.
Petersburg Journal.


Col, l.. b. Dellicker received let

Deputy u. S. Marshal w. j. White,
whose headquarters are at the Gus
tom House, this city, and who rooms
at Col. George w. Taggart's, had q
close call Sunday at hotel in Mar

Deputy Marshal w. J. White and
his friend, Prof Jas. ID. Cox, were
nearly asphyxiated with coal gas at
the Continental Sunday morning.
They summoned help about 3 a. M,
and were found clinging to each 9th :

for some time insensiblc, and after
regaining a certain degree OF con-
seriousness said more prayers than

resigned as an innocent guy, a lover
ofpeace and hater Of strife; a drink

Noble Should Curb His Temper.
Scranton Republican.

Judging from letters recently
written by Secretary Of the Interior
Noble, he has lost his temper and
has become irritable. This may be
the effect Of Corporal Tanners criti-
cism, but the Secretary does not
show to the best advantage when he
informs one man that II am boss
here" and another that II never
had any confidence in you" Sccrc-
tary Noble may have been perfectly
right in both cases, but such ex-
pressions are unnecessary in the
transaction Of public business.

A FIGHT WITH A SHARK.
A Canadians Thrilling Experience With
an Ocean Monster.

OTTAWA, ONT, October 30.-Mr.
James Potts, formerly of this city,
sends the following account of his
thrilling experience with shark in
Esquimalt harbor, British Columbia
cat about 6 o'clock on Sunday
morning, while standing on the edge
of a lighter I observed large shark
approaching, and as it swan up
alongside l threw an axe at it, strik-
ing it in the back and inficting a
deep wound. In its blind fury, lash
ing about with pain, it dashed itself
upon the beach. I called to my wife
to bring another axe and ran to
where the huge fish was struggling.
Before l could reach the spot, how
ever, the shark had got afoat again.
Armed with an axe l waded into the
water, when The monster came
straight at me, turning over on its
back ready to seize me. watched
my opportunity, and as the fish came
near enough, l drove the axe with
my whole strength into it's head
'The second blow caused the shark
to retire in haste, and it swan out
into the bay again, but soon return
ed, evidently with the determination
of having another try at me. / had
waded into the water waist deep and
planted myself firmly against a large
rock to wait his approach AS it
came up l threw the axe and again
was lucky in inhicting deep wound,
this time in the monsters side. In
stead of retreating, the shark turned
over opened it's jaws and came
straight for me. My wife had
promptly supplied me with a third
axe, and as the shark swan close up
/ dealt blow after blow on it's head,
the keen blade sinking to the bone
at every stroke, l sprang ashore,
caught up a boat-hook and, with my
wife's assistance, got the shark upon
the beach when soon ended its life.
After it was dead we measured it
and found it to be IL feet long and
2 feet inches across the middle.
On opening it found several sal
mon, a large fish-hook and several
stones in it's stomach"

The meanest thing perpetrated
upon our much prosecuted self for
some time is to have our friends who
love the partridge hunt to come in
here and tell us of having killed 90
to-day, another day Is and SO on, but
never saying word OF inning at the
idea of donating to us single bird.
They come in and make our mouth
water for quail-on- toast, but never
bring the quail. It's very mean in
deed. The sportsmen tell us that
partridges are more numerous than
they have been in years. We know
they are being killed off very fast.

That Little Tickling

In your throat, which makes you
cough once in while and keeps you
constantly clearing your throat,
arises from catarrh, and as catarrh
is constitutional disease the ordin-
airy cough medicines all fail to hit
the spot What you need is con-
stitutional remedy like Hoods Sar-
saparilla. Many people who have
taken this medicine for scrofula, dys-
pepsia, loss of appetite, and other
troubles, have been surprised that it
should cure this troublesome cough.
But to know the actual cause of the
cough is to solve the mystery. Many
cases of consumption can be traced
back to neglect of some such slight
affection as this Consumption can
be controlled in it's early stages, and
the effects of Hoods Sarsaparilla
in purifying the blood, building up
the general health, and ezpelling the
scrofulous faint which is the cause
of catarrh and consumption, has re-
stored to perfect health many per-
sons on whom this dreaded disease
seemed to have a firm hold.
