The Family That Lives on the TOP Of
Overlook Durir- the Cold Months.
Il have plent 10 read up here, and
i can't say tha' | get lonesome at all,
though ! have - neighbor. % said Mrs
Charlie Brink the other day in her cot
tage on The summit of Overlook mount
ain in the Catskills. Since the winter
signal service station was abandoned on
the top Of Mount Washington Mr..
Brink and his little family live at 2
higher altitude during the cold months
than any q near the Atlantic sea
board. Mr.. Brink is in charge Of the
property Of the company which owns
h highest mountain house in the Cats
6fls, and during the severest winter
weather, when gales are particularly
lively round the summit Of the fine ol9
lMl, lac and his family are there alone
m their snug little cottage, $500 f@t
shove the level of the sea.
About five years ago Mr.. Drinks
physician told him that if he continued
living at West Hurley r. would die Of
consumption. He was told he must
make a change of climate. and so Brink
made the change. Instead, no wever.
Of going several hundred miles away,
he changed climates Ia a perpendicular
direction, and by making his home
over 5000 feet above the sea he found
b dryness of atmosphere that was es-
sential 10 his recovery. Now a mors
vigorous and hardy man could scarcely
be found In the state. Mountain air
has done wonders for Mr.. Brink.
Mountaineers get so used TO running
up and down hill that Mr. Drinks
hired man thinks nothing Of travelling
nearly three miles every day far down
the mountain side for the little milk the
family consumes, and though no one
else lives on top Of the mountain the
Brink family are not deprived Of social
pleasurcs during the winter, for now

erai states are seen, and the view Is
n fine in the clear air of winter when
everything is snow cla8 rs during the
season Of verdure. Mr.. Brink gener-
ally makes one or two trips a week
down the mountain 10 the 2ostofice
and stores al Woodstock. During the
great blizzard, however, he was cut of
from intercourse with the rest Of the
world for about two weeks by the i'm
passable nature Of the roads.
His wife is very fond of reading, and
though her little daughter is away
from her at school she finds plenty to
occupy her attention with an ample
supply Of reading matter and her
household duties. One of Mr.. Drinks
occupations during the. winter is filling
the ice house for summer use at the
hotel. He cuts the ice from a reser-
vor Of water that is kept on the mount
ain top, and one winter when the whole
eastern country feared hat il would
be able to harvest any ice at all,
he succeeded in getting bis usual sup
ply without much trouble, which shows
that the top of Overlook mountain,
besides being a solitary place of winter
residence. is also not a little colder
than the surrounding eountry.-New

,srYCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
UN1oNTowN, April 1O.-The affairs Of
the Columbia Iron and Steel Works are not
vet regarded as definitely settled. Managing
Director E. NJ. Butz and his brother John
are still here endeavoring to effect an ar
rangement whereby the receiver appointed
by Judge Reed yesterday will be with
drawn and the assignee, Charles A. O'Brien,
be permitted to act Arrangements are
said to have been about completed with
local capitalists and Pittsburg capitalist
to furnish the funds to purchase the first
mortgage bonds held bv Boggs & BuhI,
which amount to 100000. The bonds, it
is understood, will be purchased at a slight
discount, and in case the deal goes through,
the stock of BoggS Bull will be transferred
with the bonds, and the management will again
pass into the hands of the Messrs. Butz.
The stock of Boggs & Buhl. added to that
already controlled by F. NJ. Butz, amounts to
majority of the stock in the concern. 1t is
understood that the National Bank of Fayette
county and the Peoples Bank, of this place,
have guaranteed portion of the fund to pur-
chase the bonds.
f. NJ. Butz said this evening that their plans
would be completed tomorrow, but refused TO
say what they were. The arrangements which
the Messrs. ButZ are endeavor1ng to effect is
favored by a number of the local stockholders,
but satisfaction is expressed in all quarters
with the appointment of Colonel SchoJnmaker
receiver. Confidence is felt here that under
whichever control the Columbia Works are
operated they will emerge from their present
difficulties. A number of claims for labor have
been filed against the company within the last
day or two, but no suits have yet been brought.

He Tells Some Interesting Things About
the Career of Tom Sayers.
The following extract from letter written
by Johnnie Gideon, the veteran hacker of Tom
Savers, to the Clipper. is exceedingly interest
ing. Speaking about Sayers, Gideon says:
II could 60 ON about all Savers fights, but I
mention this one as the cementing or our
friendship When he went into the ring to
fight John Heenan, Tom weighed about l49
pounds-not an ounce more. 1 weighed him
on the Saturday before. at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. at the racing scale of Sam Rogers,
the celebrated trainer, at his stables. Tom
then weighed, in nudity I4I pounds, for be it
understood, although the fight was at catch
weight, Tom weighed every morning. During
his career, weight and height given away by
him were nothing. as all his records testify.
His best fighting weight was l4S pounds and
when he fought and won his first battle, March
l9, lS49 against Ably Couch, who weighed l6S
pounds. Tom weighed but lSS pounds. He
gave weight TO all who met him but one whom
he beat in IL minutes That was Bob Brettle,
of Birmingham, who was then the acknowl-
edged middleweight champion, and Tom
fought him 500 TO Sl,OOO.
"The weight and height of some OF Sayers'
antagonists were enormous when pitted man to
man. Couch was over l6S pounds and stood B
feet II inches. Collins weighed Ia pounds and
stood feet 10 Inche-. TIat day Sayers weighed
l3S pounds. Nat Langham stood feet II
inches and weighed l66 pounds. Sims weighed
IS2 pounds and was feet in height Poulson
weighed l75 pounds and Sayers l49 pounds.
Aaron Jones stood feet and weighed l6S
pounds The Upton Slasher weighed l9S
pounds and stood feet inches. Bill Ben
jamIn. who Tom beat twice, weighed 175pounds
and stood feet IL inches. Tom Paddock stood
feet II inches and always weighed in the ring
$50 pounds. Sayers stood feet So inches in
height, and his best fighting weight was las

pionship of England on June % 1857, after his
victory over the Upton Slasher.' and it would
have been his, could he have held it against all
corners for three years, but he resigned it after
his battle with John e. Heenan on April IL.

PENNILEsS AND HOMELESS,
The Humane Society Asked to Find Home
for Mrs. Craven.


The Humane Society Asked to Find Home
4 for Mrs. Craven.
Mrs. Christina Craven, aged 62 years, of
No. 26 Decatur street, Allegheny, is the
subject of a cruelty complaint made to the
Humane Society. In the complaint it was
stated that Mrs. Craven was at one time
worth considerable money, and after being
robbed of all of it, she was cruelty treated
by her relatives
The result Of an investigation BY Humane
Agent Bergman did not put the matter in
as. bad light as reported. According to
the story told the Humane Agent it appears
that at one time Mrs. Craven was worth
about SIS, 900 in cash. This money it is
said, she was induced to loan to her brother
in-law, Joseph Bumbaugh, who now lives at
Freedom, Pa. Bumbaugh, it was said, got
the money to 60 into business and alter
ward failed, losing every cent of it.
This af course made Mrs. Craven penni-
less, and likewise Bumbaugh, who is now
said to be in straightened circumstances,
and he has large family 20 keep Since
Mrs. Craven lost her money none of her
relatives or friends have cared to keep her.
She has brother, John Craven, living at
Freedom, but it is said he refused to assist
her unless the other relatives would aid in
keeping her also. Mrs. G-aver is now
living with Jacob Stinecker and has been
there for the past four months. 1t is said
they are under no obligations to support
the woman, and for this reason want her to
get another home. Mrs. Craven herself
told the Humane Agents that she was
anxious to get IN some home, but could not
do so without assistance. John Craven
will DE communicated with by the Humane
Agents, and as he is reported to be man OF
wealth, efforts will be made to have him
put Mrs. Craven in some home.

Against johnson Tried To-Day.
President j. Palmer ONeil, of the local ball
club, lelc for Cincinnati last evening to be pres
ent al the hearing of the case of Prince and
Wagner against Al johnson to-day. Before
leaving Nr O'NeIl said:
1T does not matter how the case ends, we
will not be interIered with. The League is all
right. The case is a very simple one to under
stand. Here II Is: Al johnson sold US $40 700
worth OF baseball stock, etc, in Cincinnati, for
which we agreed to pay him $50 GOO. As as
we agreed on the deal Messrs. Prince and
Wagner stepped IN and saId that part of that
$40 100 worth Of stock was theirs and that they
wanted their share of the $4,000. Our money
L. therefore, held by court, and the question
Is TO whom does 1t belong? Is it all J9nnson's
or have Prince and Wagner shares in il? Our
purchase is not in dispute, but simply the
money we paid for it. 1t does rot matter to us
who gets the money, but l would really like to
see johnson get all of it. He deserves IT,"
