Lengthy Statement.

Lengthy Statement.
officials of the Pleasant Valley and the
Manchester street railway lines were asked
yesterday what action they proposed to
take in the matter of the report read by DR..
Clifford, of the Auditing Committee,
in which it is shown that the
Pleasant Valley company is indebted to the
city in the sum of S63, 900 and the Pittsburg,
Allegheny and Manchester Company S15,-
600. They stated very briefly that there
was nothing in it. One of the officials of
the Manchester Company was seen last
night. and, while he refused to be
quoted personally in the matter, said that
it was the intention of his company to pay
promptly whatever shortage was found to
exist against them.
Commodore Kountz said that the Man
chester line had been prompt in making
payments of its car taxes for Is years, but
lately had allowed itself to fall in arrears in
order to bring about an investigation in
which the much larger shortage of the
Pleasant Valley Company would be brought
to light.

THE SIDEWALK CAME UP.

Sad Plight of Little Girl Who Had Never
Seen Freight Elevator-she Is Rescued
by a Good Natured Irishman and an
Engine.
There was a very frightened little girl in
this city yesterday afternoon. She was
about 12 years old, and had evidently been
to the Exposition, for she held ball of
popcorn and several picture cards in her
hands. She was walking quietly along
Wood street, and when she had nearly
reached the corner of Liberty, she stopped
to look in the great show window of a
wholesale drygoods house. She was ap-
parently in reverie of delight as she gazed
at bolt of bright-colored dress goods, when
suddenly an awful thing happened.
The sidewalk began to so up with her,
and almost before she realized the situation
she found herself about eight feet above the
rest of the people on the street, and still
going up. She was too frightened even to
scream, but she cast an appealing look at
two ladies who were passing, and they came
to her assistance. The little girl had stood
upon one of the freight elevators that sink
level with the sidewalk when they are
in the cellar, but that will rise noiselessly
through the agency of unseen machinery
when it is desired to use them for moving
goods.
There was good-natured Irishman on
the elevator beneath the little girl, and as
soon as he understood that he had carried
up an unwilling passenger he lowered the
machine and let the child off. She walked
away without word, but the tears that ran
in a stream down her cheeks showed how
much she was upset by her unexpected as
cent. 1t is safe to say that she will be as
sured of the firmness of the sidewalk the
next time she stops to look in the window
of wholesale drygoods store in Pittsburg.

SPORTS DECLARE WAR.
An Organized Effort Will Be Made to
Drive Out All the Pineys.
THEY KILL THE GRAY SQUIRRELS.
These Pests Also Destroy the Game and
Song Birds.
A CLEVER PLAN FOR TRAPPING THEM
A CLEVER PLAN FOR TRAPPING THEN

A crusade is to be made against what is
known in this neighborhood as the red
squirrel or pine squirrel, not the chip
munk. Some people will tell you that all
creatures have specific purpose to perform
and yet these same people will make war on
bedbugs, mice, lice, reaches. etc., giving the
lie to their profession of faith. But the
war against the pine squirrel has been
waged by sportsmeefor considerable time
and now some farmers are taking it up.
Attorney n. W. Shafer calls attention to
the ravages of the animal In his tour after
gray and black squirrels in the western part
of the county he found the larger varieties
very scarce, while the impudent "piney"
confronted him on every hand He states that
the farmers have in some neighborhoods
declared that it must go. 1t is not only
very destructive on cereals, but it is an
Ishmaelite among the animal creation
what the sparrow is among song birds. 1t
not only destroys the young of the gray
squirrels, but devours the eggs of song
birds, quail, grouse, and in fact of all
birds.
PINE SQUIRRELS ARE PIRATES.
1t partakes much of the character of the
weasel under the shape of a squirrel 1t is
courageous, pugnacious and impudent to
degree surprising any other beast of prey
except the weasel, and when it congregates
in numbers other squirrels are forced to va
moose. Its especial hatred seems to be
against the gray and black squirrels, and
one who can initiate the Ozark" of these
squirrels can in few minutes collect the
"pineys" They come chattering from
every direction, with fur erect and tails
spread like an angry cat
Country boys often take advantage
of this animosity to collect the
! red demons within shooting distance.
Though small game their flesh is very tooth
some, and in some localities an energetic
| sportsman can kill 100 day. They are evil
IDENTIFY very prolific. Although shot in i'm
| mense numbers every year, they still man
age to keep up the supply. In 1868 town
hunt was organized in Palmyra, Portage
county, o. The town, like others on the
Reserve, is five miles square, and line of
shooters placed at short distances apart sur
rounded the whole town one morning, and
started to meet at the center.
STORY OF A FAMOUS HUNT.
They carried every conceivable form of
gun then known, and were not allowed by
the conditions of the hunt to shoot any
thing except noxious vermin, aside from
pine squirrels. About the mid
die of the afternoon they met
at the center and made the event.
In addition to the weasels, skunks, etc.,
they had killed 1,152 pine squirrels, and
supposed the pest would give them rest
for that year, but the very next week there
seemed to be as many in that township as
there were before the hunt.
Continued hunting has thinned the ranks,
but yet there are enough of the Ishmaelites
left to materially lessen other desirable
game in the country.

Exercise for Elderly rco,,o.

While the elderly man has less capac-
ity for some forms of exercise than thc
younger adult, he has no less need than
the other of the general and local eff
fects of exercise. It is in the earliest
period of mature age that the most
characteristic manifestations of defects
of nutrition-obesity, govt and diabetes.
in which lack of exercise PLAYS an i'm
portant part-arc produccd and the
treatment OF them demands impcrious-
~ stirring up of the vital combustion.
Placed between n conviction that cx
erc:se is necessary, and fear of the
dangers of exercise, the mature man
ought, therefore, to proceed with the
strictcst method in the application of
powerful modifier of nutrition. 1t is
impossible. however, to trace method
ically single rule for all men of the
same age, for all do not offer the same
degree of preservation. We might, per
haps. find n general formula for the age
at which the muscles and bones have
retained all their power of resistance,
and at which the heart and vessels be-
gin to lose some of their capacity to
perform their functions The mature
can safely brave all exercises that
bring on muscular fatigue, but he must
approach with great care those which
provoke shortness of breath.-Fernand

might move away if he did not like it.
But he didn't move for an hour. THAT
