Jonathan Luther, young farmer liv,
ing near the Randolph Manufacturing
company's plant, hiss lost his wife and
three children during two weeks. On

mad dog. Two young men were also
bitten by the same dog. The dog had
a fit at Hugh Parks store, when
Henry Parks, the clerk, at.
tempted to drive it out, the
dog bit him. Parks at once
thrust his hand into a barrel of tur-
pentine, holding it there for twelve
and half hours. 1t is thought he
will recover. Craven, the young
man who killed the dog, and was
slightly scratched, has also died.

That AIIedged Starvation Case.

Our esteemed morning contempor-
AIRY has evidently been imposed
upon in regard to the alledged des,i-
tuition of the Maurice Bowman family,
which resides at the corner of Walnut
and New York streets. 1t is true
that the people are poor, and that the
father is down sick rear SmithtOn,
and that Is year old daughter Is
sick at their home in this city, but
that :hey are in destitute circumstances
is incorrect. The city, through the
direction of Officer Lew Kahrs, has
been taking good care of the family
and they have been supplied album
dainty with the necessaries of life dur
ing the past two weeks. Sugar. tea,
coffee, -four, rice, and meat has been
supplied to them regularly, and DIR.
Q. G. Slack was employed to furnish
medicine and his service TO the sick
girl. Officer Kahrs also gave Mrs.
Bowman money for her to purchase
warm fiannels for the sick one and it
is claimed that she used the money TO
buy liquor for herself instead of get
ting the fannels. Those, who are
charitably inclined should not aid the
family by giving money, but if they
can donate anything out of their album
dance TO help the suffering of the girl
who is confined with fever to her bed
it would be charity well bestowed.

a LEVEL HEAD.
The Advantage OF Presence of Mind in an
Emergency.


During the late strike on the New
York Central Railroad, the militia were
ordered to be in readiness in case of a
riot, but they were not called out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the
troops were not TO be called upon except
in case of an emergency, The emergen-
cy had not arisen, therefore they would
not be ordered out. He remarked that
this was the first great strike with
which he had had experience, and he
did not propose TO lose his head; the
only point at which there had been seri-
Gus trouble was at Syracuse, and there
deputy sheriff had lost his head and
precipitated an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks,
and there was riotous action at various
points along the road, but the civil au-
thoriticS were able To cope with IL with
out calling on the militia.
The test of a mans real ability comes
when an emergency arises which makes
a haSty call on his good judgment
and discretion. The man who re-
tains his presence of mind, main
tainS his equipoiSc and exercise sound
discretion at such critical iunctures, is
to be relied on and will be put to the
front.
Men with level heads have staying
qualities which do not falter in the
face of danger. Otis A. Cole, of KinS-
man, Ohio, June 10, 1890, writes: SIN
the fall of 1855 l was feeling very i'll. |
consulted Il doctor and he said | had
Brght's disease of the kidneys and that
he would not stand in my shoes for the
State of Ohio" But he did not lose
courage or give up; he says: 81 saw

100 Gregory street, New Haven, Conn,
aud | wrote to him. In due time | re-
ceived an answer stating that the teS-
timonial that he gave was genuine and
not overdrawn in any particular. |
took a good many bottles of Warmers
Safe Cure; have not taken any for one
year"
Gov. Hill is accounted very success
full man; he is cool and calculating, and
belongs to the class that do not lose
their heads when emergencies arise.
