A PRowLINa PANTHER.
A Successful Hunt for Big Game With

Few Miles of New York.
Danbury, Conn, special says: Away to the
southwest Of Danbury some twenty miles, close
upon the border line between the states Of Con-
necticut and New York, lying part in one state
and part in the other, is as wild and rugged
part Of country as could well exist 90 near
civilization. The land is composed Of woods and
rocks and swamps. Borderin5upon these woods
are small farms. It is these farmers, who come
into Danbury to trade, who tell the story of
the killing Of huge panther few days ago.
Tits probably as near New York, with one ex-
ception, as panther has been killed in the
last fifty years. For two months past it has
been killing and devouring sheep and cattle,
and even attacking horses and cows which were
enter barn yards, at night. This is
the second panther which has been
killed in that neighborhood. 1t was during the
latter part of October that the panther first
made his appearance. A farmer over on the
New York state side missed calf from
OF the wild visitor were plainly traced
The following night another calf was
missed and one Of the cows was ter
ribly lacerated. A week later Farmer
where the animal made its first visit, heard
terrible confusion in his stable one night.
He seized gun and ran out just in
time to see something which looked
like great cat leap over stone wall
and before he could take aim it disappeared
and he could hear il crashing through
the brush. One Of Farmer Williams best
COWS was dying in the Enclosure. The next day
a search was made and the tracks of some huge
animal were followed up into the mountain.
where they were lost Nearly every night for
two weeks the animal was heard from,
n sheen
in another, or mutilating a larger ami
NAL somewhere else. Finally the pam
theirs depredations became SO extensive that
the farmers banded together to ex-
terminate it, and for a week bands Of hunters
were out nightly. The hunt was brought to a
successful termination last week by the death
OF the animal. 1t was shot while making its
way to its lair on the Connecticut side of the
line with full-grown calf Two dogs which
were with the hunters attacked it first, and one
was killed outright and the other so crippled
that it had to be shot. The panther was a big
fellow and weighed between $50 and 800 pounds

sIAMEsE TWINS REPEATED,
But in This Case the Sex of the Twain arr
Different.

After many years the history Of the Siamese
twins repeats itself. This time the fashionable
town OF Cannes, France, is the scene of the
phenomenon, and a comparatively newly mar
ried woman is the heroine of the cpl
sodes. and they are feminine. If the children
survive, the doctor who is in attendance de-
clares that as the hgaturo which binds the two
children together resembles in every respect
the celebrated Siamese twins, the present
phenomenon viii undoubtedly create as much
interest Chang and Eng did, and will make
~ much money for the lucky producers. I'm
fortunately the parents chances of realizing
fortune from this source do not seem very
bright, because the twins are very sickly.

TRYING LYM"H ON CANCER.
Apparent Improvement in q Case at Belle

Apparent Improvement in q Case at Belle
vue-Another at st. Francis.
; Two patients in New York, who are under
going the Koch lymph treatment in the hospi-
tails, were inoculated with fifteen milligrammes
OF the per cent solution recently, says the
New York Sun. This is the largest amount
yet used here. In Berlin, however,
100 milligrammes have been used in
the cases Of patients for many
weeks under treatment One Of the New York
patients inoculated was at the Mt. Sinai Hos.
pital. 1t was the twelfth incubation of the
patient. He is student suffering with lupus
The other patient who received fifteen mill
grammes was a woman in the German Hospital
also suffering with lupus Of the face. 1t was
her eleventh incubation. the treatment having
been begun on December IL. The healing OF
the lupus is quite perceptible.
DR.. Baruch of the Montefiore Home in 13Sth
street said yesterday that hereafter he should
inocnlate no more patients in the hospital with
the Koch lymph. There are, he said, nine
patients under treatment and the study of the
operation Of the lymph upon those patients will
serve to. test the curative value Of the lymph.
At Bellevue Hospital, House Physician Pope
said that comparative examinations Of the
sputa of the patients had begun. 1t is in these
examinations that the progress Of the con-
sumptive patients toward recovery, if they are
to recover, will be traced. 1t will be several
months before definite results will be obtained.
The patient with cancer at Bellevue Hospital
has shown strong indications of improvement.
The diseased part begins to diminish in cir
conference and the surface shows signs of
scaling off.
DIR. George Shrady at St. Francis Hospital
inoculated patient who has cancer of the lip,
caused by smoking pipe. 1t is the same dis
ease that killed Gen. Grant. The patient has
had the cancer year. and it involves most of
the mouth externally. The patients general
health is excellent and DIR. Shrady expects in
teresting results.
Another interesting case in st. Francis Hos
pital is that of woman taken yesterday in a
cab to the hospital through the storm by DIR.
Louis Fischer. The patient has phthisis and
DR.. Shrady says the disease has so far ad-
vanced that there will be cavity in one lung
before the lymph can take hold.

BIG FOOT CAPTURED.
A Large Number of the Hostiles Leave the
Bad Lands.

AT headquarters of the department OF the
Platte last night dispatch was received from
Gen. Brooke. which stated that Maj. White
sides. in command of q battalion of the ninth
cavalry, had captured Big Foot and his entire
band near the head of Porcupine creek. About
1J0 bucks surrendered.
Gen. Brooke also telegraphed that the hos
tiles in the Bad Lands had surrendered and

Eyes sent word Saturday night that half the
hostiles had left the Bad Lands and were within
a few hours march of the agency.
Col. Ofelrs scouts confirm this intelligence
By reporting the camps in the Bad Lands de-
serted. though one dispatch says one of the
camps was moved two miles southeast to avoid
scouting parties or to secure better protection
from the heavy wind of FRIDAY. This party is
probably following the main body of Indians.
Gen. Miles has issued orders to Gen. Carr.
Col. Ofells and Col. Sanford. in command of
the western and northern sections of the cor

HEROIC CAPT. PATTERSON.
His Conduct Saves the Lives of the Crew of
the Melissa Trask.

The American schooner Melissa Trask
stranded south of the point of Sandy Hook in
the storm OF Friday night. Had it not been
for the heroic conduct Of Capt. John H. Patter-
son of the Sandy Hook ife-saving station and
his hardy crew every man on board of the
schooner would have persisted. 1t was one of
the most difficult rescues, tho life savers say,
they have undertaken in years. The cries of
the men were heard even above the roaring of
the storm by some of Capt. Patterson's patrol
men, and in less than three minutes two large
mortars were dragged over the snow to the
beach and placed in position, while couple of
life boats were made ready for launching.
But it was too rough to launch boat The
waves were dashing far up on the beach and
the atmosphere was freezing. A life line was
shot from one of the mortars, but it caught on
the mizzen spring stay. The Trask crew did
not dare to ascend the mizzenmast. as it
threatened to fall any moment Another shot
sent line through the ratlines Of the main rig
ging, however, and this was secured.
THE CREW FAILED TO COMPREHEND.
Here a new difficulty presented. The
schooner's crew did not understand the work.
ing of the life-saving apparatus and instead of
hauling in on the line 20 secure the stronger
cable which was to carry out the breeches buoy
the men simply made the blight of the line fast.
Enormous seas wero sweeping over the little
schooner and she was rolling fearfully, with her
decks and rigging solidly coated with ice,
which was constantly growing thicker. The
deck load had broken loose and the nearly
frozen crew had hard work to keep out Of the
way Of the floating timber. The life savers
were at their wits ends to make the men
understand that they must haul in on the life
line.
After shouting themselves hoarse and burn
ing several signals the life decided to try
to launch one of the surf boats, as it was plain
| that the schooners crew would succumb ere
many minutes. just this was being done the
Trask s crew, to Capt. Patterson's joy, began to
haul in ON the line.
ALL WERE SAVED.
| In a few minutes the cable was in position
and the breeches buoy brought ashore the first
man. His clothes were frozen stiff on him and
the life savers had to almost carry him to the
station. The others were in the same condi-
ton. Capt. HARDWOOD was the last to leave his
vessel.
Tho Melissa Trask preached too soon after
| the men were taken off and she may prove o
total wreck. She was built at Brewster Me-,
in 1880 and is owned in Bangor. She registers

Herr Johann Most, the high priest of
anarchy or ''communistic anarchism,' as he
prefers to call his doctrine, delivered one of his
characteristic lectures in this city Saturday
evening. The open dancing pavilion at Loeb
boehler's beer garden was the scene Of his
oratorical effort, and the crisp chill Of the air
effectually killed any enthusiasm that the
thirty-three individuals composing his audi
ence might otherwise have felt. 1t was a very
ld-mannered meeting, and the agitators adj
dress, which was entirely in German, was by no
means as incendiary rs is customary with that
exponent of anarchy. At the close of Herr
MOsts address a collection was taken up.
