ESPECIAL TELreRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

BEAVER FALLS, Jan. 25.-Dr. 7. j.
Richie, one of the rising young physicians
of this place, has had an experience with
rat for the past week which he will not
likely forget for some time to come. For
some time past he has been experimenting
on rats, dogs, cats and other animals for the
purpose of studying the process of digestion.
He would take the animals, place them
under the influence of chloroform and then,
after cutting them open and noting the
working of the intestines, would sew up
the wound, annoint it with healing saIve
and let them go.
Last Saturday he captured a large rat,
placed it under the influence of the anasthetic
and to his great surprise discovered that the
animal was one be had previously operated
upon. Just as he turned to his case to get
the necessary instrument with which to
again cut the rat open, it revived suddenly
and, springing from the table, ran along the
floor, sprang into the open fireplace and es-
capped up the chimney.
The Rat Keeps Up Its attacks.
There was no fire in the CRATE and the rats
retreat was made in safety. The doctor,
thinking the animal would pop out of the top of
the chimney, ran out on the street to see II, Dut
no rat appeared.
That night. as he lay asleep, he was awakened
by sharp pain in his finger, and upon opening
his eyes saw the rat that had escaped from him
in the afternoon scamper off the bed and up
the chimney again. He examined his finger
and found it badly bitten. He washed and
bound up the wound. and again went to sleep,
only to be again awakened by the same rat bit
ing his nose. He chased it away, but got little
sleep that night, for the rat kept attacking
him, and when he would attempt to Kill 1t IL
would take refuge in the chimney.
The next night and for every night after
ward until last night, the rat prevented him
from sleeping by its persistent and bloodthirsty
attacks. He stuffed up the CRATE, but the an
imal always managed to get out OF the chimney.

AN ECONOMICAL MEASURE.

Senator Neeb ExpDins Why He wants
Murderers Hung in the Penitentiaries-
To Avoid Bungling and Keep Away the
Morbid People.
State Senator John N. Neeb returned to
Harrisburg last evening. He expects the
committees in the Senate will be announced
tonight.
In explaining why he introduced his Dill
to have all hangings in the State performed
In the penitentiaries. Mr.. Mech said: Il got
the idea from Warden Dyer. of the Column
bus peniteDtiary. at meeting OF the
National Prison Association. Such law
prevails in Ohio, and its results have
been very satisfactory to the people.
I remember that the law was
Endorsed BY the prison association. When
] returned, broached the subject to Sherin
McCleary, and he was pleased with the idea,
and urged me to 60 to work to have SINH
lar law passed in this state.
Since the bill has been introduced have
received number of letters from sheriffs In.
dorsing the measure and hoping that it will
soon be passed. ALL the Senators with
whom I have talked about it are
in favor of the bill. NV object is not to
exclude the press at hangings. as some
suppose, but to save expense to the counties
and to have the job done by trained hands
rather than have it bungled. The apparatus
needed could be easily kept in the peniten-
tiary, and an experienced hangman could
be employed. think if this were done you
would seldom hear of knots slipping and
the horrible torture of murderers in strang-
ling to death. 1t would also keep away
from jails the great crowd of morbid people
that collect at hanging. There are many
men who flock to county seats on such
occasions, and then 60 back and tell at the
corner grocery how they were in town when
so and so was hung, when they were not
admitted to the Jail. have seen Diamond
alley and Fifth avenue crowded with people

Senator Cameron Tells a Friend That the
People Wanted It.
State Senator Ed Robbins, of Greensburg,
was at the Union depot last evening, going
home The Senator said be was interested
in the question of the free coinage of silver.
and had been looking up the subject. A
few days ago he met Senator Cameron and
asked him why he had voted for free COIN
age. The Senator replied that the people
demanded more money to be put into circu-
lation, and he voted for the bill to please
them.
Mr.. Robbins thinks this answer is not
satisfactory, and he is not ready to see the
free coinage of silver adopted. He expects
the present session of the Legislature will
be long and interesting, as bills on the SUBJ
jects of pipe lines, taxation and road i'm
provements have been introduced. The
House has been captured by the farmers,
but it remains to be seen what they will do
in the Senate.
