A FOSSIL FOOTPRINT.
Discovered in Quarry Near Fort
Dodge, iowa.

Discovered in n Quarry Near Fort
Dodge, Iowa.
While blasting stone from the Mar
bingham quarry, near Fort Dodge, Iowa,
there was recently discovered the prints
of gigantic foot on shelf of rock that
had been covered with earth and vegeta-
ton, but which was displaced by the ex-
plosion. The foot is apparently that of a
human being, though provided with nails
of great length and curved slightly at the
end, as can be seen by the deeper inden-
tations at the ends of tho marks. The
prints are seven in number. varying con
siderably in distinctuess, each measuring
fraction less than two feet in length.
and broad in proportion. The toes are
shorter than is usual in the human foot
and spread much wider apart, but the
heel is narrow and rounding The prints
all point in the same direction, and are
from four to four and a half feet apart.
the most clearly defined sinking about
two inches into the rock There is, in ad.
dition to the. toot-marks, indications of
some heavy object having been dragged
over the rocks after the creature whose
tracks are there. This object was prob
ably club. to judge by the marks It
made. The ledge of rocks on which this
valuable record of a prehistoric age is to
be seen was detached with the graatest
care but an unfortunate fall broke the
piece right across the footprint most
clearly defined. The breakage will be re-
paired as skilfully as possible with
cement, and the rock sorwarded to the
Museum of Geology and Paleontology at
at DUBUQUE.

KILLED TN HIS CAB
Engineer May, of the Erie,
Strikes His Head
Against a Post.
HIS FIREMAN DIDN'T KNOW IT.
The Brakeman Saw Him Hangs
ing Out and Stopped
the Train.

While train No. 50, on the main line Of
the Erie Road, due in Jersey City at SOS
this morning. was speeding toward Jer-
sey City, just west Of the Midland bridge.
John +. May, the engineer of the train.
while leaning out struck his head against
post and died shortly after from his in
Juries. The post against which MAY
struck his head is one of long line be-
tween two tracks. These posts are so
near the rails that it is almost impossible
for an engineer to lean out, or stick hi.
head out of the cab window without ba-
ing struck.
Inc fireman of the engine was Frank
Bogardus. He did not know thar May
had been struck as he was leaning out Of
tne window on his side of the cab. and
tne engine Went speeding on down the
track carrying Mays body half out of the
window. His head was bleeding pro-
fusely and the wind carried the blood
against the tank of the engine.
THE BRAKEMAN DISCOVERS MAY.
All 1nls while the engine was shooting
along with the unconscious mans hand
on the lever. The head brakeman lean
ing out of the baggage car door thought
ne saw something strange in the way
crawled out over the tank, and discover
ing Mays condition gave the signal to
stop the engine.
Conductor Jellet was in charge of the
tram and came to see what was the
trouble. Between them the three men
carried Mays body to the baggage car
ana the fireman ran the train into the
depot
HE DIED UNCONSCIOUS.
MAYS body was carried from the bag
gage car to the baggage room, where he
died soon after without regafning con-
seriousness. If the head brakeman had
not discovered the situation in time
there is no doubt that there would have
been serious accident as the train was
speeding along uncontrolled.
May and his fireman took the engine at
Sutferns. He had been an engineer on
the Erie for some time. He was a Young
man and had been married about two
years.
He leaves a wife and child. He lived
on Ninth street. This morning a report
er was shown the hat which he wore. It
was soft blue hat and was cut and torn
where it had struck the post. 1t was also
bloody and portions of Nays hair and
scalp clung to it.

HE BOUNCED HOPKINS.
Roberts Thought His Attentions were
Too Pronounced.

Roberts Thought His Attentions were
Too Pronounced.
David E. Roberts, of No. 1888 Second
street, who claimed early in the week
that Harry Hopkins had been unduly in
innate with Mrs. Roberts, was prisoner
before Justice Stilsing this morning.
HOPKINS, who formerly kept restaurant
on Montgomery street, where Turner &
Bennell now have their grocery. but who
is now conductor on the Hoboken Ele-
waited Railroad, was the complainant
He said that while he was paying a
friendly visit to Mrs. Roberts and her
daughter Alva, a pretty girl of eighteen,
Roberts came home and acted like wild
man. After accusing his wife of vile ac-
tions he assaulted Hopkins and put him
out of the house.
Roberts admitted that he had thrust
Hopkins from his home, and said he had
right to eject any Objectionable per-
son from his house. Mrs. Roberts
was not present, but in an interview
she denies Roberts assertion that
she thought too much of Hopkins, or
that he had broken up Roberts, home.
She characterized his conduct and
language as that coming from man
who indulges too much in drink. His
suspicious were absolutely groundless,
she declared.
Roberts did not offer to prove them to
be true today and Justice Stilsing adj
journed the examination on the charge
of assault and battery until Tuesday.

1t Washed Out Streets and Clogged Up
Sewers.
The terrible rain storm of last evening
flooded many portions of the Heights.
Monticello avenue from Astor Place to
below Emory street was one broad sheet
OF water which extended from curb to
curb At Astor Place in front of
Wllhms drug store the water reached
above the side walk. There is a receiv-
ing basin at Astor Place and another at
Emory street, but they were both in
body Of water which gathered in
the depression in the street which exists
at that point This portion of Monticello
avenue thus flooded is much frequented
thoroughfare, and people whose business
took them TO the stores on the avenue
underwent considerable inconvenience.
The horses splashed through the minia-
ture lake up to the fetlocks, and the
water came up almost on level with the
steps of the platforms of the horse cars.
At the point where Monticello avenue
makes turn to run into Bergen avenue
another small lake was formed which ex-
tended from curb to curb and rising over
the east sidewalk ran back into the vacant
lots there. There is receiving basin at
this point also, but it could not keep up
with the rain, which came down in tor
rents. The water had all disappeared

the vicinity which had never before seen
a drop of water were flooded.
The rain also washed a great hole In
Montgomery street, near the Cornelison
avenue bridge. 1t interfered with street
car travel for time, but gang of men
were put to work by the j. G. & B. r. r.
Co. and soon had the tracks repaired so
chat cars could pass as usual
The heavy rain washed a large quantity
OF dirt down the gutter in front of the
Kensington Club rooms. corner of Com
munipaw avenue and Grand street, and
there it remains this morning.
West Side avenue is clogged up with
large quantity of dirt and sand at its
junction with Ege avenue, which ac-
cumulated there during the storm The
proposed system of sewers for this sec
ton will remedy this great nuisance.
A large pond of water accumulated
during the storm on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad on Pacific avenue and almost
covers the tracks The manhoIe at Hud
son and Montgomery streets was clogged
during the storm and large quantity of
water collected there, compelling people
to go some distance up the street before
they could cross with dry feet.

ASSAULTED HIS FAMILY.
Not That He Loved Them Less, but That
He Loved His Farm More.

speciat to the jersey City Ne,us.
MOUNT HOLLY. Aug. %, 1890. Some
three years ago John H. G. Jennings, of
Indian Mills, committed an assault and
battery upon the person OF Isaac B. Wills.
At the time the act was committed Wills
had warrant issued for his assailant's
arrest, but Jennings left for parts un-
known in order to avoid paying damages
for The assault. Before leaving jennings
decided his farm over to his wife.
He has just returned to his wife and
family, who have been compelled to pay
the interest on the mortgage and support
themselves during the husbands alb
sence. Jennings wants his property, but
his wife refuses to deed it back to him,
claiming that she has worked hard to
support the family, besides making ad-
ditions to the place, and for fear that her
husband might become liable for debt
and they lose their home.
This made John angry, and he COM
menced to make things lively for the
family. He has been arrested on COM
plaint of lis daughter, Laura A. Jen-
n1ngs, for assault and battery in throw
ing her out of the house. Mary Frances
Jennings, another daughter, has also had
her father arrested for two assaults and
batteries. The family says he heaps the
vilest abuse upon them, and on some oc-
casions he would run his head and nose
into their faces, saying there was no law
for that He is also charged with abus-
ing his wife and calling her bad names
and with rough treatment.
William Cotton and Nathan Jennings
entered bail in the sum of $3.50 for len
nings' appearance at the September term
of court.
