Attacked by "A Bear.

An incident h related about the cele-
brated writer Count Tolstoi, which
nearly cost him his life. He went on
"A bear hunt with some of his friends.
and after selecting spot which com
handed good view OF the surround
ing grounds. some OF the more exDe-
rienced hunters suggested that the
snow had better be trampled down SO
that il would be easier for them 10
move about and get out OF bruins way
ana have time enough To take shot at
him If he should come upon them un-
eXpectcdly.
The Count. however. although up TO
his waist in the snow objected 10 this,
and said that il was entirely unneces-
sary, since the whole thing consisted
OF shooting the bear and not wrestling
with him.
They did not have to wait long, for
tho bear which had just risen from its
lair was walking along TO get out OF
the way OF the hunters when IL sud-
denly stepped out into the open space
directly in front OF Tolstoi.
He very coolly took aim and fired.
but the ball. for some reason or other,
went wide of its mark. Taking aim
again, he fired this time hitting the
bear in the head and the bullet lodged
in the lower jaw and OF course only
made an irritating wound, which made
the bear SO savage that, taking few
jumps. he was upon Tolstoi before he
was able 10 realize it. just as the
bear came close enough TO him he
dropped down and OF course the bear
went right over his body. Tolstois
whole body sunk into the deep snow.
and the only part that remained ex-
posed was his head, which the bear
tackled as soon as he had recovered
from his surprise in seeing Tolstoi
disappear SO suddenly.
Tolstoi did his best TO push his head
down as low rs possible, and elevated
his fur cap for the bear to bite. Twice
the savage animal snapped at 1t, and
then discovering his mistake, made a
bite deeper down, this time taking u
piece Of flesh from the Counts right
cheek.
just ut this moment his comrades
returned. and by their loud yells sue
ceeded in driving away the bear. who
very slowly turned his back upon the
hunters and walked into tho woods.

At the Stronach warehouse last night
X. B. Green E q preached good Demo
cratic doctrine. He was introduced by
Hon, John G. Scarborough.
He spoke with his accustomed ease
and force and began with wise and
earnest protest against the apathy
which prevailed. He showed that the
Radicals could organize within 4S hours
and urged Democrats to effect thorough
organization in every township and
ward. He showed that this was the
most important election that had been
held in ten years. He showed that
Radical success meant Radical U. 8.
Senator and a redstricting Of the
congressional and senatorial dis
tricts which would be ruinous.
Reading from the Greensboro North
State in the campaign of 1888, Mr..
Glenn showed that every promise made
by the Republicans had been broken.
They promised l. To secure better prices
for farmers products; 2. To pass
the Blair Bill; g. To repeal the internal
revenue law; and to give free ballot
and fair count. Mr. Glenn in an un.
answerable way showed how false the
Radicals had been to the people in every
promise they had made. His discussion
of the Tariff, the Force bill, the Interna
Revenue and other questions was cleal
and strong.

peal to the Democrats of Wake to kicl

Five Criminals Break From Forsyth
Jaii--Great Excitement in COnse-
quence--A Child With Two Tongues.
Especial Cor. State Chronicle.l
WESTON, N. c., Oct 4.-Great ex-
citement was caused here this morning
by the discovery that five prisoners in
the county Jail had made their escape
during the darkness of the night.
By some means they obtained piece
of steel buggy spring that was sharp
at one end. With this they cut one of
the iron bars in two and drew the upper
half from the hole above into which it
was wedged Through this narrow pass
they forced their way, escaping through
another place when they had priced up
plank. All of them are white men
and were in there for pen1tentiary
crimes.
Early this morning, when it was dis
covered, the jailor and policeman en-
deavored to track them but it was i'm
possible. The other prisoners said that
they escaped about two o'clock in the
night and all ran in different directions.
Sheriff Boyer. has telegraphed every
town policeman for miles around and
they will be searched for vigorously.
The Forsyth Jail is said to be the best
one in the State, it being new, and
it is a cause of astonishment that pris-
oner could have possibly escaped.

REVOLUTION!
THE LIBERTIES OF THE PEO-
PIE ARE AGAIN THREATEN ED.

A Crisis for the People of the South--
Are the People of AnglO-SaxOn Blood
Ready to Give up Their Liberties and
Live Under Republican DespOtism?
1.-The Next Election the M MOst ImpOr-
tant for the People of North Carolina
Since The War.
(From Mecklenburg Times, organ Of the
Alliance in MecKlenburg county,
When the liberties and free institu-
tions of the Athenian republic were
threatened by the advancing armies Of
Philip of Macedon, the voice Of the
great orator Demosthenes thundered
forth warning. But the people were
in a state of apathy and Indifference.
The eloquence of the greatest orator the
world has produced could not arouse
them, and the army of Philip came
down upon them and turned freemen
into slaves.
In like manner the liberties and free
institutions of the United States ARE
NOW IMPERILLED BY A REPUBLICAN DES-
POTIsM MORE DANGEROUS THAN ANY HOS
TILE ARMY. The campaign has begun.
The alarm has been sounded and the
drum beat is being heard summoning
Democrats to awake and fall into line
for the battle. But our people are in
state of apathy and difference. THEY
DO NOT REALIZE THAT THIS ELECTION Is
IMPORTANT.
The burning question is, will the peo-
pie of North Carolina arouse from their
slumbers, or by apathy and indiffer-
ence allow Republican despotism to
wrest from them the right of self gov
ernment? Shall the United States sur
vive as republic or perish in despot-
ism? ARE TIE SOUTHERN PEOPLE 1,EAol
TO GIVE UP THE LIBERTIES THAT WERE
PURCHASED BY THE BLOOD OF THEIR FORE
FAITH HERS? These are questions to be an
swered at the ballot box in November.

WAKE FOREST ENDOW MENT.
Fair Prospects of Making 1t Nearly a
Quarter of Million.

Wake Forest College, which stands as
one of the foremost educational institu-
tions Of the country, now has an endow
ment Of $4,000 Besides this it has
the Bostwick fund Of $4,000, making
$165, 900.
Recently, Mr.. Bostwick, who has al
ready done so much for the college, pro-
posed to give one dollar to the college
would give it between now and March
lst, 1891, This prosition has put the
earnest and indefatigable President of
the college, Dr.. Chas. E. Taylor, to
work. He has placed the amount which
the friends Of the institution ought to
give between now and March 1st at $50
900 and hopes to raise it. If he succeeds
in this-and he proposes to succeed =
the college will get $25, 900 from Mr..
B3stwick; and then the endowment Of
the institution will amount to $24O,0 900.
Here is an opportunity which the
Baptists of North Carolina surely can
not afford to let slip by, and they won't
let it slip. They love and appreciate
their college as do also many friends of
other denominations. The CHRONICLE
feels disposed to predict that DR.. Taylor
will not only be successful in raising the
| $50, 900 asked for, but even larger
amount. The people Of Raleigh and
Wake county ought to strain their nerves
to make liberal responses now, for
Wake Forest college is Wake county
institution and is practically Raleigh
| institution.
