1t has been pet theory of prominent railroad
men for quite a while that there would be no
harmony in railroad circles until there
fewer interests In fact it has been contended
that the fewer arrangements there existed the
more harmony there would be, and this idea
seems to be taking hold and is being advanced
by the biggest railroad magnateS in tn country
as is evidenced by the Could Manv ell Hunting
ton combination under the name of the South
western association. The Wall Street News in
charmanship of this associ9 ION takes occasion
to mention this matter as follows:
at was great cause OF surprise that Chair
man Goddard O the Western passenger associa-
ton has refused the craftsmanship # the South

OF great railroad interests likely to be the
order of the day and it is quite on h cards that
before many months have elapsed the railroad
form a simiar combination. This will to
shut out the petty rlval.ias that have existed
betwe the leading raj roads. to the detriment
OF their stockholders for many years.

a GOOD BEAR STORY.

1Ers. Brain. Her Cubs, . Bulldog and
Some Cattle Engage In . Eght
A few days ago Charles and Robert
Kiple, thrifty Monroe County farmers,
broughs up a lot of cattle on the Pocono
plateau, writes a Scranton (Ps-) corre-
spondent, and started to drive them to
their farm in the neighborhood Of
Taunkletown.
A brindled bulldog G1eooupaniad
them Three miles south Of Honser's
mills the cattle came 70 halt and part
~ turned around, and the men had all
they could do to keep them from stam-
peding.n After they had got the
cattle headed right again they saw
what had caused the scare. A
few rods away an OLD she bear
was sitting in the center Of The road
and on each size of her there was a cub,
and all three were looking at the
frightened cattle. The young men
could not get the drove to bulge from
where they were, so they sent the dog
ahead to drive the bear family out of
the road. The dog bounded sorward,
and when the bears saw him coming
they got down on Ill tours and stared at
him, making no move to get out Of the
way. Instead Of pitching at the old
bear, the bulldog grabbed one Of the
cubs and began to drag it toward the
log fence. but he hadn't gone far
when the squealing little brute
brought the mother, who attacked the
dog and made him let 50. That
walked the bulldog up. and he whirled
and got hold on the old bears flank
The cubs vanished like partridges,
while their mother was raging and try
ing to shake the dog OF; and for @ mo-
ment the old bear and the dog had it
hot and heavy from one side Of the road
to the other. Finally the bulldog set
his teeth in the bears nose, and the
noise and the efforts she made to fiing
him away excited the curiosity Of the
cattle to such pitch that they set up a
believing and wen4 cantering toward
the belligerents with heads and tails in
the air. The young men hurried after
the drove, intending to keep it on the
move until 1t had passed the bear; but
the fing-leaders halted as soon as they
had reached the fighters Just then the
old bear shook the dog looss from her
bleeding nose and threw him over the
fence. She tken started for the opposite
side of the road, but the rin--leadeH
headed heF of, and moment later the
whole herd was believing fariously and
endeavoring to ges chance at the bear.
Then the dog returned knd the cattle
separated, when the canine again tax
led the bear and got a bgoken back from
one Of her PAYS. Before the cattle had
time % closa up their ranks Charles
