A PAIR OF THEM.
Two Strange Animals Tint Aro Alarming
the People of Hogtown.

s,l the People of uogtown.
GRAYsoS, KY, Dec. 15.-For some
time the people of uogtown and vicin-
ity, over in Elliott county, havo been
considerably excited over the existence
OF wild animal in the woods. Several
farmers have lost young hogs and other
small stock from his frequent raids
upon their barnyards.
y party OF boys were out hunting q
few days ago, and camo upon 4 strange
looking animal devouring a small hog
that looked like it had been killed after
severe struggle. They were too much
excited to shoot it. and mado away with
great rapidity. The described it as be-
ing perfectly black, with sharp pointed
ears, and as large as common.sized
dog.
Another hunter, Jerry Wilmuth, says
ne saw something that answers the
same description tho boys gave, but it
was accompanied by. another animal
considerably larger, and having large
white spots upon it. They were beyond
gun-shot and did not appear to be afraid
OF him.
is said that. dogs, whom they strike
the trail of the strange animals, return
Immediately to their masters with their
tails tucked between their legs, and
can not be induced to go out again.
Some old-timo hunters claim the black
one to be a black wolf, but can not ac-
count for the spotted one. A band Of
hunters is being organized to make u
final raid on them and q general Christ
mas hunt taken.

Tic Ono Made TwCnty-Scyen Years Ago
for Charles Prcor who is Stin Alive.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y, Dec. 15.-Charles
Pecor, OF Portland, is IN applicant for
i pension from the United States. At
the battle OF Cold Harbor, juno /, 1861,
he was among the missing. A friend OF
his wrote to his parents in Portland
that hc had scen their son fall in battle.
This Chautauqua home, as many others
had been, was made one OF mourning.
A public service was held and the vii
lage minister preached sermon on the
death OF Charles Pecor, who was one OF
the popular young men OF the vicinity.
The loving parents had 4 tombstone
made i'll memory OF their lost son. This
was not completed till winte: and was
placed in the barn to be set in the ccm-
etery in the spring. i 5s.s5...
But Charles Peror was not dead. He
had been taken prisoner, and being pa-
rolled in March OF 'G5at once started for
home, from which be had heard roth
ing for so long. lie arrived at Portland
in the night, and not caring to disturb
his parent went into the barn and made
himself comfortable with blankets and
slept till morning. His brother, about
daylight, went to the barnto take care
OF the stock, and finding "a tramp
asleep there proceeded to "wakc him
up" Itwould be hard TO tell which
was the more surprised-Charles to sec
his own tombstone standing directly in
front OF where he lay, or tho brother to
see the dead lying there in life.
I twas happy family that gathered
around the Pecor table that morning.
There was Joy in every heart at the re.
turn OF the son and brother from the
grave, and the tombstone has not yet

THE TELEGRAPHERs' STRIKE.

Possibility That It May Spread to Every
g Railroad In the Country.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. ia. D. Thurston,
thcgrand chief Of the Order of Railway
Tclcgraphcrs, and Acting Grand Chief
D. Ramsey, of the same organization,
are in the city. The purpose OF their
visit here at this time is to attend a
meeting OF the advisory, council of rail-
road men, III reference to the troubles
on the Southern Pacific and the Atlantic
and Pacific railroads. Besides the de-
mand OF The Withdrawal from the tele-
graphcrs' organization by the officials OF
the road, the Atlantic and Pacific off,
GERS have q grievance. They demand
nm increase i'll salary to $3.50 per month
for chief dispatcher, Sl25 for dispatch
ers and from s65 to $50 for operators.
In reference to the strike a morning
paper has his TO say: lE
"Should tho companies detcrmine to
maintain their attitude OF opposition it
will be difficult to tell where the strike
may end. tits feared that ii tho trouble
be not speedily settled strikes may arise
with other companies. If we can settle
our trouble with the Southern Pacific
and Atlantic & Pacific, said member
OF the executive committee OF the Order
OF Railroad Tclcsraphcrs, nobody else
will be involved but ii VIC cannot settle
ourselves then we will involve every
railroad in the United States. Assist
ant Grand Chief Ramsey says the ordor
has q membership OF $4,000 and there
are no surplus men. He added | see
no possible chance for the company to
get men to replace the strikers"
Acting Grand Chief D. G. Ramsey this
afternoon tclcgraphod the strike COM
mittce OF the Atlantic &; Pacific opera
tors TO instruct the mon TO return to
work providing the officials OF the road
adhere to their first decision and con-
cedo the right Of the men to belong to
q labor organization. In all interview
with mn Associated Press representative,
Mr.. Ramsey said that to-day's meeting
OF tho ayisory. council the Brotherhood
OF Trainmcn and tho Brotherhood OF
Conductors, through their officers, had
concurred in the action he had decided
to take, and twas the sense OF the as
scmbcd railroad men that the strike
was entirely justified.
81 have ordered the men TO waive the
question OF wages until l reach Albu-
Quorque, where | so tonight, but We
cannot and will not waive our right to
join and be members Of tho Order OF The
Telcgraphers. AS soon as I reach
Albuquerque Twill lool; oycrthc ground
and see whether or not the question Of
an increase will be taken up Z,
Questioned as to tho trouble on the
Southern Pacific, Mr.. Ramsey said the
order would not yield ono iota OF their
rights, and tliat men would stay until
the battleiwon,if it took three years to
do it. 4@ ~

LOOK OUT

fer your furs and plush cloaksl This is
the time to see to it that your furs do not
suffer damage through moths If you
pack them away for the season at all, be
sure that every possible egg of a moth
has been brushed out and then pack up
tight in bag or in paper SO that no
moth can reach them. Plush cloaks
should not be packed away at all, for the
best garments will mat down so as to be
unwearable. Simply hang them up as
usual. brushing them occasionally will
do no harm, but there is not much dan
ger, if any, of their being damaged by
moths. SCHUETTE Bros.

THERE are number of young lads in
this city who should be taught lesson
by the authorities seeing that their par
ents are not disposed to do SO. There
may be paternalism involved but even the
offensive flavor Of this word should not
be permitted to stand in the way. Gar
dens are invaded by these young hood
lums and plants are destroyed wantonly.
Shade trees are hacked and goods are
pilfered from stores whenever opportuni-
ties are offered. In justice to the lads
who are engaged in:these practices the
thing should be stopped. Granted that
it is an interference with parental rights
it is fully justified by the circumstances.
