Attacking a Catamount in Hartford
County, Md.

The Belair Egis says ''Last Sat
urday evening, about o'clock, as
Mr.. John McMullin, who works at
the Messrs. Husbands flint mill, was
on his way home, his little beagle
dog freed some varmint at Mr.. Law
renee Kehoe's place. Looking up,
Mr.. McMullin saw crouched in a fork
of the tree large grayish-colored
animal, whose eyes glowed like Goals
of fire. He concluded at once that
it was the catamount whose unearth-
ly yells have for several months past
frightened lonely travellers in Dublin
district. Being unarmed, he went
for reinforcements and found John
Dunnigan. who presently came with
gun, accompanied by Lawrence
Kefoe and his son Thomas. Dunni-
gan and young Kehoe, under Mr.. Ke-
hoes direction, each fired three
rounds of "strong shot" at the beast,
with no effect. The ammunition be-
ing exhausted and the catamount un-
harmed Mr.. Dunnigan went to Scar
borough postofice for fresh sup
ply. Obtaining it and bringing Sam
uel White with him, he returned to
the spot, where the catamount still
glared furiously at the hunters as
sembled below. Mr.. White tried his
skill, and finally a well-directed shot
brought the beast to the ground as
dead as Moriarty's pig. The hun
tiers examined their prize, and to
their great surprise they found it to
be somebody's tabby cat instead of a
fierce catamount. Mr.. Kehoe, who
had encouraged the young men to
shoot at the beast. as soon as the
discovery was made, walked away
chuckling and saying something
about cat a.mountain a tree. He
is suspected of knowing more about
the animal than he pretended to.
know. However, the young men
showed as much bravery as if it had
been sure enough catamount.

Killed In a Railroad Wreck.

CUMBERLAND, Nh, Jan. 13.-There
was a wreck on the Western Branch
of the Georges Creek and Cumber-
land Railroad near Homecoming this
afternoon at three o'clock, by which
sixteen b. and O. jumbo hoppers
were smashed badly and Wilson
Cook, a brakeman, was instantly
killed. A freight engine drawing
nineteen loaded b. and o. hoppers
was coming down the grade from
Koontz mine to the main track, when
wheel broke on the third car from
the engine, piling up all the hoppers
behind it except the last, which re-
manned on the track.
The engine and the first two did
not leave the rails. Cook was crush
ed between the cars and then thrown
under them. A special train was
sent up the road from Cumberland
tonight and the remains brought
to this city. The deceased was
about 81 years of age, and has been
married only six months. He was
firemen, but exchanged places with
brakeman today, and SO met his
death. The company is building
track around the wreck tonight, and
traffic on the western branch will be
resumed tomorrow.

A Strange Confession.

FREDERICK, Jan. ia number
of laborers, while at work tearing
down an old building here, came up
on curious confession, which is now
puzzling the people hereabouts. The
paper is signed by Cora Litchfield,
who must have been here sometime
about the date, which is 1870. No
one here has any recollection of such
person, but the paper has every
appearance Of being genuine. The
confession is as follows II may die
soon, l do not know when, but will
write this ere it be too late. / hope
it will be found when am dead, for
I have wrought enough misery. Six
teen years ago / was young and beau
tiful, and loved Dallas Galbraith !;
but he married another, Emma Earle.
How i hate her But she is dead
now. / followed them from place to
place, and / stole their child-a girl
baby-from their house in Columbia
one day when the nurse had fallen
asleep. The mother died year af-
ter. The mother died In Baltimore.
And there / left her in basket on
the steps of the Holibard Asylum,
and watched close by until they
found her. Then / fed away as on
ly guilty being can flee. ! have
wandered as a vagabond through
France, England, Germany and other
countries, and come here at last to
Rostin to spend the rest of my days
in peace-if only the peace the wick
ed have. Emma Earle Galbraith
crossed my path to-day. She is a
servant in a Roslin vile. Thus am
| beset. Verify, there is no peace

Chateau, near Cologne. Thus do ]
endeavor to make restitution.

Call on the National Banks.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l4.-Secretary
WINDOWS call for ten per cent. of
the amount of public moneys held
by the National banks will expire to-
morrow. So far, only eight banks
out of the 100 called upon have re-
sponded. The amount surrendered,
however, is far in excess of the
amount called for, as some of the
banks gave up the entire amount held
by them and number of others sur.
rendered all above the amount neces.
sary for the transaction of the cur
rent public business. The total
amount of bonds purchased to date
in liquidation of these deposits is
$9,7Tl 500. The future course of the
department in this matter will be de-
termined in a few days.

$1,000 Worth Of Gold Dust
Buried Thirty Years Ago.

A. r. and p. +. Torrey, of Char
lesion, s. c., have just unearthed
about two miles away from Platts-
mouth, a copper pot containing ST.
900 worth of gold dust which had
been hidden since 1860, when it was
buried by their uncle.
1t was in lS4S that Henry Hop
kins, the youngest son of a sugar
raiser near Charleston, left home
with his friend, Ira Goodell, to seek
his fortune in California, where gold
had just been found. There they
worked without success for eleven
years, when Hopkins collected this
snug amount in gold dust and deter
mined to return to his home. His
friend Goodell, SO the story goes,
soured by misfortune, became exceed
ingly jealous OF his companion on
their way back. In the fall of go
they reached Plattsmouth, and
Goodcll entered upon drinking de-
bauch. One night he and some
drunken companions attacked Hop
kins and tried to kill him and rob
him of the gold dust, which he always
carried. They failed, however, and
Hopkins, fearing that another at
tempt might be more successful, bur-
led his treasure in high bluff over
looking the river and took notes OF
the situation, which he afterwards
sent to his parents in South Carolina.
That was the last heard of either him
or Goodell, and it is supposed that
Hopkins was finally killed by would
be robbers.
His father received the letter, and
while awaiting Henry's return the
rebellion broke out. The elder Hop
kins was killed, but his son Richard
escaped harm, and in 1856 went to
Plattsmouth and searched for the
buried treasure, but could not find
it. He returned home, and when he
died, some months ago, he turned
over the letter to his sisters children,
the Torrey brothers. They deter
mined to make thorough search,
and went to Plattsmouth. For sew
eral days they worked, and, as is q
very secluded spot and seldom visi-
ted, they carried on their work with
out molestation. The directions fur
nished in the letter were slightly at
fault, and it was not until consider
able hard labor had been performed
that they were rewarded. They
found the pot, however, none the
worse for its long imprisonment

Forty Two Years a Man.

On the arrival Of passenger
steamer from st. Brine the comman-
der informed the police that
woman attired as man was on
board. She had, it appeared, taken
passage for st. Brine, but the cap
tain, having noticed certain, pecu-
liarities about the passenger, on
reaching that port summoned
medical man, and he declared that
the pseudo man was really woman.
He further certified that she was suf-
fering from slight conclusion Of the
brain, and the French authorities, in
view OF her mysterious conduct, re-
fused to allow her to land.
On the steamer entering the har-
Dor Of st. Heller the woman took
cab and proceeded to q boarding
house where she had previously
lodged for some time under the name
OF Lotus Hermann. She had every
appearance of manhood, and from
her easy department it was evident
that male attire was no novelty to
her. She wore a fur waistcoat, a
long overcoat, hat and a turned
down collar. She smokes n long
pipe or cigar with the air of one ac-
customed to the habit. Left an or
phan at the age of thirteen, she then
resolved to adopt the male attire.
She has now reached the age Of fifty
five, so that for forty-two years she
has been travelling the world, and
has been known as man.
Her calling has been that of a
courier, and in that capacity she has
travelled widely. She has know
ledge of several Continental Ian
guages, and is otherwise well inform
ed. The name by which she was
generally known was Louis Hermann
Tobosh, but in some cases she has
dropped the last name, and simply
calls herself Louis Hermann.--Dur-
ing the last year she had balance
of upwards of ESQ to her credit in
a banking firm, but 1T is not known
whether this has been drawn upon.
When arrested by the Jersey police
she had only Is. Cd. in her possess
sion, and she is indebted to the host
to the extent of f3 l0s.-A number
Of papers found at her lodgings have
been taken possession Of by the
police.

The Secretary's Eldest Son Victim Of
the Grippe.
AN ILLNESS OF ONLY A FEW DAYS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Mr. Wal
ker Blaine, examiner of claims in the
State Department, and the eldest
son Of the Secretary of State, died
tonight, after an illuess.of a few days,
of acute pneumonia, superinduced
by an attack of the grippe. He was
young man of promise and of pop
ularity. He inherited much of the
intellectually of his eminent father,
and was, like him, genial compan-
ion, good talker, firm friend and
an aggressive opponent. He was
fayorite in society, well-known man
at the clubs, and prominent in polit-
ical circles. Mr.. Walker Blaine, had
he lived, would have upheld the dis
tinction which his father attained.
Opportunity was oil that was neces-
sary.
LAST ILLNESS.
DR.. G.. Lloyd Magruder, the fam.
lily physician, furnishes tonight the
following statement of Mr.. Blaine's
sickness !: Mr.. Walker Blaine was
attacked by "La grippe" on Friday
evening last. The malady was
ushered in by q chill, followed by a
high fever. Severe catarrhal symp-
toms Immediately attacked both
lungs. These continued through
Saturday and Sunday, but in an
ameliorated condition. On Monday
improvement in the left lung was
noticed, though pneumonia conges-
ton was present in the right lung.
On Tuesday all of the symptoms be-
came aggravated. Well-doveloped
pneumonia supervened in the right
lung, accompanied by high fever and
delirium, which continued until his
death, which occurred almost with
out premonition at $50, and was
due to pulmonary affection.
Mr.. Walker Blaine, while compare
lively strong, had not entirely re-
covered from the accident in the
spring by which his leg was broken
and from an attack of malarial fever
from which he suffered during the
autumn. DR.. Magruder had in con-
sultation with him DR.. Joseph Faber
