a Guilt Edged Report

1t is said the report of thU state Flood
Commission will shortly be issued, and
promises to be an elaborate and vol
luminous affair. The Relief Committee
members are waiting to know what money
is to pay for the issuing of this gilt edged
report. They say if it is from the relief
fund that money is being perverted form
the purpose for which it was intended,
and that it should not be allowed. One
committeeman said: This book is be-
ing printed solely for the glorifcation of
Governor Beaver and members of the
commission. There have been plenty his
tories of the flood written, and what can
this historian of theirs do but compile a
history from the ones that have been pub.

would have gone forth if the Pittsburgh

dollars in getting out an elaborate history
of what it had accomplished. If the com

A BULL ON THE RAMPAGE.
Men. Women and Children Tossed Into
the Air by the Enraged Animal.

The neighborhood Of Massachusetts, avenue
and Sd street was q scene of excitement about
$50 O'Clock last night in consequence of the
appearance Of a wild bull on the street. It
was not known where the animal came from,
but it came with rush, and persons in its
way were tossed into the air like sheets Of pa
per in whirlwind. Washington street seems
to have been first visited by the bull and
small colored boy was sent flying skyward
When Sd street was reached . colored woma n
was the animals first victim.
wATCHMAN TOSSED INTO TREE.
Everybody attributed her fate to o piece Of
red trimming on hor dress, but that idea was
dispelled when Mr.. O'Neill, Waterman in the
pension office. paid sudden visit to the
branches Of the shade trees and soon after
wards had his arm in sling. He is a cripple
and was consequently unable to make good
run like his neighbors.
Another boy was used as missile and the in
furlated animal made several attempts to enter
dwellings, but without success. After doing
what damage 1t could on that square the bull
made Its way toward Jackson alley, knocking
down everything in its path
SMASHING FURNITURE
Finally the alley was reached and without
waiting for an invitation the bull broke into a
front door and played havoc with the furni-
ture. Before reaching Jackson alley, however,
Mr.. Mack was knocked down on G street and
seriously injured. Another man, whose name
could not be asccrtained, shared the same fate
When crossing the railroad track the animal
came near being run over, and when last seen
II was going through East Washington toward
the Eastern Branch,

PROTECTING THE MONUMENT.
MIR. Gibson Of Alabama Acquitted of a
Charge of Nlutilating the Shaft.

"Cnited States Waterman" was the answer
given by W. s. Jones when asked in the Police
Court this morning what his position was at
the Washington monument He was the pros
ecuting witness in the case of William b. Glib
son, whom he charged with mutilating the mon
ument Mr.. Gibson is q resident of Alabama
and he was defended by Congressman Herbert
OF that state. Waterman Jones accused Mr..
Gibson Of having Clipped pieces of the monu-
ment off with his penknife The officer pro-
duced n number of small pieces Of the stone as
evidence and told Of Mr.. Gibson's conversation
about the arrest
THE DEFENDANT DENIED THE CHARGE
and contradicted Waterman Jones in every
essentia! part of his testimony. The alleged
offense happened about o'clock this morning.
Mr.. A. D. Dickson of GreenvilIe, s. c., who
was with Mr.. Gibson. also gave evidence, When
Jones mentioned the knife witness saws he
asked Jones II he saw q knife and the latter re-
Piled 1T might have been lead pencil"
THE JUDGES DECISION.
Judge Mills said he had examined the knife
blade and there was nothing to show that it had
been used for any such purpose. but. on the con-
trary the blade appeared to have been stained
by fruit. The Judge added that 1t was unneces-
sary to state that the law should be strlngently
enforced, as constant chipping would not onli
deface the shaft, but would result in its de-
struction. The court thought the officer should
be commended for his zeal in seeing to the
enforcement OF the law After speaking of the
Inconvenience to which Mr. Gibson had been
put the court dismissed the charge.
