While the children Of Mr.. Ware were
playing in the yard Of their fathers
residence, at Mingo, Rudolph county,

dog with which the children were
frolicking, and carried him some dis
lance before he dropped him, the dog
biting the bird all the time. The dog
had hardly touched the ground when
the bird came down second time, and
a severe battle occurred between them,
the bird getting the worst of it, and
being injured soseverely he was unable
to fly. The children hurried for as
sistance, but when they returned with

a badly lacerated and frightened dog

A PILLAR OF FIRE.
Flames Fifty Feet High From Gas
Well in Utah.

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 15.--Trenton
rock was reached in the natural gas
fields, twelve miles from this city, to-
day, and a flow of gas with a pressure
of 145 pounds to the square inch is the
result. The gas reservoir is apparent
ly eXhaustless. The strike was accom-
panied by blaze, the gas rushing up
ward through the ground and igniting,
causing loss to buildings of 81, 000
The flames are fifty feet in height and
have lit up the surrounding country
for miles. In efforts to circumscribe
the territory of the fire, Manager Smith
and several employees were badly burn
ed. A franchise was applied for two
weeks ago to pipe gas from the fields
to the city, in anticipation of making
the strike. The friction is two per
cent. per mile, and the cost Of the pipe
is estimated at 100000.

NEwBURG, Dec. 14.-The Newbure
police department received tonight q
dispatch from Walden to look for two
men who have buncoed Robert B.

dren. He has long kept his account in
the Quassaick national bank here,
which institution he visited early to-
day to get his check for SIS, 800 cashed.
He seemed to be in great hurry and
said he wanted to catch the noon train
for Middletown. Cashier Weed tried
to get him to take draft, but he de-
clined, and insisted on having bills of
81 900 denomination. These were
given him, and it is believed that he
gave the sharpers $4,000 as soon as he
got out Of the bank and received the
supposed gold brick in return.

sAGE's ASSAILANT.


Broker.
BOSTON, December 14.-It seems to
be settled that the bomb thrower who
tried to kill Russell Sage and Henry
l.. Norcross are one and the same indi-
vidual Additional evidence was
offered to the parents of Norcross this
forenoon which removes all doubt from
their minds. AS soon as they have
sufficiently recovered from the shock
Of their sons terrible death they will
go to New York and bring back the
remains for suitable burial.
James G.. Pennycuck, President of
the Alpha Manufacturing Company,
has an Office in the building where
Henry L. Norcross, the suspected
bomb-thrower, had an office. Two
weeks ago tomorrow Mr.. Pennycuck
went into his Office to write. About
noon he had occasion to go down the
corridor. When he returned he no.
ticed that the door of Mr.. Norcross'
office was open. Going to the door, he
said:
why, Henry, what are you doing
here to-dayq" He answered.: "Ihave
been writing long letters. Have you
got any iron filings in your room?"
Mr.. Pennycuck answered that he had
none, and expressed surprise that Mr..
Norcross should want anything of the
kind.
AT the same time he suggested that
he could probably find some in the
room of Mr.. White, of the White Ele-
waited Railroad. When Mr.. Pennycuck
went into the room Mr.. Norcross was
sitting at the desk, which was open.
AT the entrance of his visitor he shut
the desk with snap. When he was
asked what he wanted the filings for
he said that he wanted them for some
experiments.
The photograph of the head was
shown six persons in the building this
morning. Four of them were confident
that he was the man. The two other
were equally sure that it was not the
man.

PROMISE AN AsroN1sHER. v
Intended to Make the Harvest
Festival a National Event.

The executive committee having in
charge the preparation of the proposed
harvest festival was in session yester-
day afternoon, working on the plans of
the affair. The members of the COM
mittee are confident of making it an
almost national event. They now talk
of changing the date of it. 1t
was at first decided that the
dateD should be Sept. 90, three
days before the close of the Exposition.
Now it is probable that the date will be
made Sept "a. The change is for the
purpose of allowing trains to leave Bos-
ton Monday morning and reach Mime
apolls in time for the big huIrah. This
shows what the committee intends to
make the celebration. Some of the en-
thusiastic members Of the committee
say that it will outshine the famous Viii
lard parade of few years ago. The
railroads will be asked to make low eX-
cursion rates so that people will be at
tracted from all parts of the country.
One feature of the parade will be pic

D'HARVEN'S ESCAPE.
The Ex-SidewaIk Inspector Very

Dhine.

The EX-Sidewalk Inspector Very
Sick From an Overdose of Nor
phine.
Ferdinand De Harven, ex-sidewalz
inspector, and recently an employe of
the city railway company, lies at his
home, 1858 Bloomington avenue, in a
critical condition, from the effects of an
overdose of morphine taken it is believed
with suicidal intent. About week ago
DE Haryen was discharged from the
street railway service on account of in
temperance, and since that time has
sbeen very respondent.
On Saturday he went to a drug store
near his home and secured a quantity
of morphine, representing that he was
habituaIly given to its use. Upon his
return home he took about four
and a half grains of the drug and
SOON became unconscious. Drs. Little
and Wooster were summoned by the
frightened family, and although
every effort was made in his behalf it
was not until Monday evening that he
regained consciousness. The physi-
clans state that he is in no further
danger from the direct effects of the
drug, but detrimental results from the
shock are to be feared.
De Haryen received thoroughly
military education at the celebrated
French academy of st. Cyr, and served
in the French and United States armies.
AS sidewalk inspector he was consid-
cred efficient and faithful. and only
lost his position through his intemper.
ate habits, he having been reported by
Sergeant Kirkham for drunkenness al
the time of the Lumber Exchange fire

Judge Caldwell began his reign on
the bench in Minneapolis by settling
one point at the outset. He settled two
points. in fact. One was that he would
submit to no brOwbeating from attor-
neys, and the other was that the at
terneys can at any time amend their
complaints so as to bring case within
the jurisdiction of the United States
court. When the Judge gave out that
ruling Attorney Bartleson evinced some
surprise in an acrid sort of tone. He
went no further before being given to
understand that the court would not be
trified with. A few motions were dis
posed of YESTERDAY.
