FIGHT with a Wild Cat.

A terrible fight with a wild cat is re-
ported from Rocky Fork OF Poca, In
Kanawha county. and only a few
miles from Charleston, this State.
r. H. Burford was awakened few
nights since by the barking of his
dogs and thinking they had freed a
'possum, went out in his night clothes
to get the 'possum and stop the bark
ing of the dogs by which his peace
full slumber had been disturbed.
He found OH going out that the
dogs had an animal of some sort on
gate post in front of his house. When
he approached the dogs, he found
that was no 'possum as he had sup
posed, but large wild cat which was
safely perched upon the top OF the
gate post. His catship, which had
hitherto maintained only defensive
warfare, now began an attack on the
combined forces of the enemy. he
sprang upon Mr.. Burford and q terri
bic fight ensued between him and his
dogs on one side and the cat on the
other. During the fight Mr.. Burford
clothing was torn to shreds, and bis
back scratched and lacerated FINAL
Nv he succeeded in getting the cat
between the gate and the post, and
shutting the gate on him, held him
fast. He then seized the cat by the
throat and actually choked him to
death with his hands. He weighed
81 pounds aud his skin, which was a
beautiful one, was kept by Mr.. Bur
ford

Improbable Farming in Illinois.

Some interest has been manifested
in the recent statemant that the iii
nois agricultural report shows the
corn crop of 1899 in that State to have
cost nearly S10,000,000 more than Its
total estimated value, which isplaced
at S5S. 337, 049, and the total cost OF
production at SOS, 272, 1872. The items
entering into the cost of production
are Use of land, blowing, harrow
ing. laying off, planting, seeding,
tending, gathering, cutting, Smelling
and marketing. The figures upon all
these are obtained by sending cards
to correspondents in all parts OF the
Safe. and from their estimates the
totals and averages are made up.
They are the best the board can get,
but are given simply as estimated,
and a new set of cards is now being
sent out in order to see if new cal
culation will change the figures al
ready given. 1t is to be observed
that the result attributed to the year
1899 is no new thing in fact, the re-
suit, similarly obtained on the last
thirty corn crops of Illinois, shows a
loss upon sixteen and profit upon
fourteen, and it is peculiar that the
total cost per acre as given in the
table stands at exactly $1,000 all acre
from 1860 to 1882: then it declined TO
50. rs for the crops of the last two
years. The use of the land is figured
at an average of z per cent. on its
cash value

WEST VIRGINIA ITEMS.

A farmer Of Upshur county, who
owns a number of Guinea hens, found
a nest where they had been laying
containing 1877 eggs.
Mrs. E. NJ. Turner, wife of Presi-
dent Turner, of the State University
at Morgantown, who is the mother OF
triplets-two girls and a boy, now
four wears old has received a prize
of 800 from the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Miss Belle Simpson, daughter Of
John Simpson, wealthy Brooke
county farmer, died at Mingo, Ohio,
the other evening of poison. The
case is a mysterious one, and at this
time it cannot be told whether death
was from suicide or murder. James
Smith, a printer, is in custody on sus-
picion, and the coroner is making an
investigation. Miss Simpson was a
beautiful girl and her death creates
a great sensation.
A dispatch from Catlettsburg, KY,
says the body of William Thacker.
purchasing agent of the Big Sandy
Lumber Company, was found on the
roadside in the West Virginia noun
tains, near the source of Mud river.
There is strong suspicion OF murder,
as he was travelling on horseback and
was supposed to carry considerable
money. His horse was found covered
with human blood, but with no signs
of having run away.
|. A bad accident is reported on the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. Attic
Big Bend Tunnel. near Hinton, a
freight train. which was approaching
a signal station, ran into a switch
which had been left open. Before
the engineer could reverse his engine
it had crashed into the signal, and,
keeping on, it pushed the station into
the New River, and then plunged in
after it. The tender followed the en-
CINE. In the station was a telegraph
operator. He, the engineer and the
fireman were all carried into the river
and drowned. The freight cars were
piled up all over the track.
A dispatch from Weston, VIVA,
saws "A railroad deal that will occu-
DIV space in the history of our State
was consummated here last week. 1t
was the consolidation of the Clarks-
burg, Weston and Midland, with all
its branches yet unbuilt, with what
is to be known as the West Virginia
and Pittsburg. At the election Of
officers held Friday Hon. j. n. Cam
den was made president, and j. h.
Hurst, vice president and general
manager. The road to Braxton
Court House is to be pushed through
at once the Buckhannon branch
will be extended TO the Gauley river
near the junction of it and Cherry,
distance of about seventyflve miles
from Buckhannon via Webster Court
House. 1t is generally understood
that the Baltimore and Ohio is back
of this move, but nothing authentic
is to be had as to this. 1t is all to be
standard guage. Weston will likely
get the shops and round houses. .

Mr.. Stanley's Personal Narrative.

The interesting fact is announced
by Messrs Charles Scribner's Sons
that they have acquired from Mr..
Henry NJ. Stanley all the American
rights for his personal narrative of
the expedition for the relief of Enin
Pasha. Prior to the appearance of
the complete work, Scribner'S Mag
azine will publish an article upon his
last journey by Mr.. Stanley. 1t will
be illustrated and is certain to be as
important contribution as any that
has everappeared in anAmerican Mag
azine.
Readers may have noticed that Mr..
Herbert Ward, VINO was one Of Stan
ley's officers, makes no mention of the
expedition in the articles recounting
his experiences upon the Congo,
which appears in Sc,7bner's for Feb
ruary, the fact being that Mr. Stan.
ley has reserved the sole right to de-
scribe this most remarkable of all his
African undertakings.

Excursion to the National Capital.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company announces a second Popu-
lar Excursion to Washington on
Thursday, February Goth.
Washington is always attractive at
this time of the year; Congress will
be in session and the Galleries of both
Houses, as well as all other public
buildings, will lie open to visitors,
and the remarkably fine weather we
are now having it is safe to presume
will continue, making sightseeing at
the Capital all the more enjoyable.
The tickets will be good ten days,
allowing ample time for visiting A ex-
andria, Mt. Vernon, Richmond, Old
Point Comfort and points of interest
within easy reach of Washington. We
give below list of stations showing
rates of fare and time of trains:

a DISPATCH from Charleston says
that on Wednesday there was much
filibustering by the Republicans, who
desired to pass an adjournment reso-
luton in order to defeat the Austria
liam ballot reform BILL" but the Dem
ocrats turned them down, and in spite
of their efforts passed the bill, which
was sent to the Senate, which body,
with Republican majority, refused
to take up the bill. In the Senate the
Republicans have already boosted
that they will kill the bill. 1t is be-
lieved that the Legislature will ad-
journ to-day.

THE Louisiana Lottery sharks, who
will shortly be kicked out of the State
of Louisiana, are about TO obtain a
foothold North Dakota. One branch
of the Legislature has already passed
a bill to give to it charter That
such an iniquity can be legalized in
these enlightened days is an astound-
ing evidence of official corruption and
the power of moneyed corporations.
1t is said that the Dakota scheme is
being governed by certain Republi-
can officials, and the attention of
President Harrison and his admins
tration has been publicly directed to
this point. What the result will be
will soon become known.
