MARRYING, the Cnnrfs

Half of the. morning session of the
Police Court was taken up yesterday in an
examination into what might well be
termed ''school-boy" affair. Willie Muir
ray, 10-year-old urchin, was charged by
man named Herman with disturbing the
peace, having, it is alleged, thrown clod
of dirt at Kiernan's horse. The MURRAY
boys father defended him, and, though an
amateur at the bar, succeeded in securing
an acquittal for bis offspring. 1t developed
during the examination that the arrest
grew out of general row which has been
going on between the two families for some
time past. Judge Buckley gave both sides
a good talking to and advised them to
kiss and make up."

NEW RAILWAY BUILDING.


A table of railway construction published
by the Railroad Gdsettr, shows that l,4l0
miles of new main line track was built in
the first siI months Of this year in the
United States, against 1850 in the CORE
spending period of last year. This Is about
the same ratio as was shown at the end OF
the first quarter. and it appears that the
outlook for railroad construction this year
has not been improving since the earlier
figures were published. II the ratio 10
maintained throughout the year, the
total new mileage would be about
thirty-fve hundred miles, but, Of course,
there may be unforeseen conditions which
will change the present rate of building and
make the years construction somewhat less
or considerably greater than is indicated by
what has already been done. The Southern
States have built 50 per cent. of the total new
construction of this year; the Southwestern
States "a per cent. No other group Is repre-
sented by any large percentage. The new
construction has been by l03 different COM
panies, giving an average of Ii miles to each
company. The characteristic feature of the
years building that it is in short lengths by
many companies. This is u safe and con.
seryatiye way of railway building, because
such work is only done as 1t is actually call.

Where Bears Roam the Streets.

Mr.. r. w. Blackhart, formerly of this
city, but now resident of Helena,
Montana, is in Louisville. Mr.. Black
heart says Montana is full of large game,
and is the finest hunting ground in the
United States. He tells the following
bear story, and says it is no fish yarn
either: A short while before coming to
Kentucky he was at Cook City, small
town in southern Montana, adjoining the
Wyoming line and Yellowstone Park,
While he was there party Of hunters
who had been out only three days re-
turned. Buring that brief absence they
killed tifty-six bears, grizzly, cinnamon
and black, and brought with them the
fresh skins as evidence. Last autumn
five big bears were killed in the streets
Of the town, having come down from the
mountain, probably with the intention Of
making Il good meal oil the inhabitants.
In the mountains the grizzly bears are
exceedingly numerous, very fcrocious,
and more frequently the hunter than the
hunted. d.-LoaiSoiNe Courier-J0urRa!,
