A MAD GOAT.
II Makes Things Lively in n Pasture Lot, and
n. Kicked 10 Deuth By n Mule.

hlcke0 10 Deutu Dy
LAwRENoEBURG, IND, August 6.-Mr. B. F..
Dunton, of Boone county, KY, is the owner OF
a valuable lot of horses and colts. He was also
the owner of q prize billy goat. but that an
imal Is dead, and thereby hangs tale. On last
Saturday morning Mr.. Dunton was attracted to
the field in which his horses run BY the cries OF
q lot Of boys, and hurrying there was treated
to an experience he will never forget. The goat
was chasing the stock around the field at
frightful rate, and the animals had all they
could do TO keep out of the reach of the mad
dened brute. At times 1t would stand on its
hind legs and fairly jump from the ground, and
again it would lower its head and rush at the
cattle, at the same time making noise much
resembling the barking of dog. Mr.. Dunton
climbed into the field and attacked the goat
with a club, when It turned on him and he was
glad to make his escape by going over the fence
In very great hurry.
He then started to the house for q rifle with
which to kill the goat. In the meantime things
were getting interesting in the pasture lot
The goat had got after a mule, which was
among the horses and was chasing IL, when
suddenly the mule turned and kicked at IL.
This seemed to surprise the goat, for it stopped
minute and then renewed the attack, when
effect, for he caught the goat square in the
head and killed IL. and when Mr.. Dunton re-
turned with his gun the mule was still kicking
the carcass. 1t now turns out that dog be-
longing to one of the nejghbors was shot while
showing symptoms of rabies some time ago, but
before being shot it had had bitten the goat Sc
verely, ana when 1t attacked the horses 1t was
that disease, contracted from the bite Of the
dog.

A BISHOPS RIPARIAN R1eHTs.
A Chicago Judge Rules They Cannot be
Taken Avay by the CITY.

Taken Away by the City.
CHICAGO, August 6-Judge Tuley to-day de-
clded that the Lincoln Park Commissioners
could not take possession of the riparian right
owned by the Catholic Bishop Of Chicago and
located in front of the Bishops residence on
the Lake Shore drive, without making some
compensation for the privilege. The case in
wolves an important interest of the Catholic
Bishop. In the year 1882 the Commissioners
secured deed from the Bishop giving them
the right TO build driveway 200 feet wide on
sand bar In front Of the Bishops land. This
was all right, SO far as it went but the space
between the drive and the private property was
soon filled in by the Bishop. thus making his
property extend as far as the driveway. Dur
ing this time. however, the Bishop held ripar-
ian rights to the lake front. So when the
Commissioners began to extend the park and
driveway beyond the 200 feet stated In the deed
and to build a sea wall along the shore drive,
the Bishop filed a bill in the courts asking to
stop the work and establish his title to the r.
parian right.
The case was heard, and the deeds and con-
tracts made brought into court. The commits
sioners hold that by getting possession Of the
200 feet which was then out In the lake and be-
yond the water line. they got possession of all
land that might be made either by the wash
Ings of the water or ny artificial means. This,
Of course. the Bishop denied, even if the words
of the contract did imply as much. Regarding
this, Judge Tuley said: SIT has been the GUS
tom of the courts Of late to disregard to a GER
tain extent the literal wording of contracts
and learn, If possible, the intention of the per-
sons making them. ! cannot believe that the
Catholic Bishop of Chicago intended to deed
away his riparian rights, nor do hold that he
did,
The fling of the suit by the Bishop did not
entirely stop work, which was begun in 1888,
but little has been done to complete the car
rage way since that time. The Court did not
decide that the work must be torn up ana
nothing further done but said the Bishop mad
a remedy at law, and should be paid for his
riparian rights.

MMICHAEL SUGGESTED.
May be Chosen Director General Of the
Worlds Fair to be Held In Chicago.

NAY De Choson Director General oil the
Worlds Fair to be Held In Chicago.
PHILADELPHIA. August 5.-It was a current
rumor on the street yesterday that Colonel
Clayton McMichael. of this city, proprietor Of
the North american, would in all probability
be selected as Director General of the Worlds
Fair at Chicago. The movement to put him at
the head of the management Of the forthcom-
ing exposition is understood to have originated
among some of the Western members of the
Worlds Fair Commission who were impressed
by the executive capacity and tact which he
displayed when he was Marshal of the District
of Columbia under President Arthur. There
Is also said to be strong feeling in favor of his
appointment among merchants and business
men of the country who are familiar with his
close association with the management and sue
cess of the Centennial Exhibition in Philadel-
phia in 1876.
The report created quite stir among busi-
ness men yesterday afternoon A prominent
member of the Union League stated that if it
were true that Colonel McMichael was to be
selected for the place it would be an evidence
of marked wisdom on the part of the Worlds
Fair Commissioners. He said it would identify
Philadelphia with Chicago In the matter and
insure the active cooperation Of this city.
Colonel McMichael is in Bar Harbor, and
therefore could not be seen about the story.

BEER AND COMPETITION.

The fight over the control of Western
breweries by the English syndicate which
those establishments, right and left,
last year, has developed some interesting
and characteristic features. As the profit
of the syndicate operation lay in capitaliz-
ing the breweries at three or four times their
real value, it has now become necessary in
order to pay dividends on the inflated capt.
tai to raise the prices of beer. But as the
old prices yielded big returns on the actual
cost of hreweries the retail dispensers of
beer are up in arms against the advance and
propose to start new breweries.
So far the brewery fight is almost an ex-
act parallel with the Whisky Trust compli-
cations. But a new feature has arisen in
the beer business at St. Louis. Fourteen
breweries were absorbed by the syndicate
there, and evidently with the hope of main
tanning the monopoly. A contract was
made that their proprietors should be re-
tanned in the employ of the syndicate and
should not independently engage in brew
ing for five years. But owing to the fact
that two of the largest breweries in ST.
Louis were not secured by the syndicate no
beer monopoly was established; and it may
be owing to this fact that these ex-proprletors
were discharged from the employ of the
syndicate last month. As result of their
discharge three new and large breweries
will be started in st. Louis out of the funds
provided by the sale of the older breweries
to the syndicate.
The experience of the brewery syndicate
furnishes fresh illustration Of the rule
that inflated and fictitious capital always
has something to do with an attempted
monopoly; and the further principle that
unless there is some extraneous means of
excluding new competition the monopoly
will always defeat ITSELF
