Gored by a Bull.

At EHzabethtown, KY, Col. William
Wilson died on the 9Th from the in
iuries inflicted by maddened bull.
Wilson went into the pasture to have
the bull, a fine Jersey, battered for ex-
hibition at the fair. When he went
into the pasture he was in the habit of
carrying shotgun loaded with blank
cartridges or small shot with which
he inundated and controlled the
beast. On this occasion he had the gun,
and as the bull started toward him he
fired one barrel. This had no effect,
and he tried the second buarrel, but for
some reason the cartridge did not 60 off.
Before he could get out of the way the
bull was on him, and running rapidly
threw him ten feet in the air. He was
picked up and carried to the house.
Two ribs were broken, and he was badly
bruised about the body.

HOW TO HANDLE STATE FUNDS.

Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, Testihes
Before the Legislative Committee.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 4.-The leg
islative committee, appointed to inves-
tigate the state treasurers Office, met
here this morning. Gov. Pattison was
asked if he could suggest any better
method than the present system of
auditing state accounts. In reply the
Governor said that in his opinion the
present system was all wrong. Under it
the state treasurer has absolute control
OF about $9,OOO,O 900 for which the state
has only security to the amount of
$500, 900. In the opinion of Gov. Patti
son the system of all warrants being
countersigned by the controller should
be adopted. Gov. Pattison also said
that he thought the system of deposit
ing state money was wrong. Security
should be required by the state for the
money deposited, about $4,000 for
every 100000 being, in the Governors
opinion, about the right amount.
The committee, after hearing the
testimonies of several cashiers of banks
where state money was deposited, that
they had not paid interest on the state
deposit, or shown favor, nor that no
consideration had been shown in return
for the deposits, the committee adj
iourned until tomorrow.

was one of number of volunteers en-
gagged in holding the big gas bag on the
ground while it was being inflated with
hot air. When everything was in
readiness and Prof. Frisbie was
getting his parachute ready, smoke
was seen issuing from the

all let go except Woods. In an instant
he was whirling in the air, and the hor-

himself and let go. The ropes, howev-
er, were around his legs, and he was

FEARS FOR LIEUT.. PEARY.
Belief that the Arctic Expedition is Based
on Misconce ptiOn.

on MisconceptiOn.
New YORK, Sept 3.-Since the return
of the ice-ship Kite from the adventur
GUS trip to the frozen North the ques-
ton has been frequently asked, els the
Peary Arctic expedition in danger of
meeting the unhappy fate of the brave
fellows who composed the Greedy par
ty, and of whom only fraction were
saved from perishingY"
Peary some years ago made trip to
Godhavn, on Disco Island, where he
penetrated a long distance into the in
terror Of Greenland over the ice cap in
which that country is buried. This gave
him the idea of taking a similar excur-
sion over the ice cap in a more remote
region, with view to determine the
northern extremity of Greenland, the
position of which has never been
that Greenland extends to above
IS degrees north; others are
convinced that it reaches $50 miles
further, or to the pole itself. Peary
went north to find out which party is
right, his own opinion being that about
IS degrees north is it's extreme limit.
The experiences of the Kite convinced
all on board that Peary somehow or
other had got the wrong end foremost,
and that alter all his troubles are to be
the same as those Of all other explorers,
who have found that getting back is the
hardest part of it. At present the
Peary expedition stands in this position:
They are encamped in desolate and al
most inaccessible region with the task
before them of making trip next
spring 400 miles north into a. region also
probably inaccessible, and then coming
back and finding themselves no better
off than they were before.
There is chapter sadder than any
yet written, since it concerns the fate Of
a young and beautiful American woman
who accompanied her husband with no
thought or knowledge of what an Arctic
winter means. From the start the ex
petition, it is alleged, was based on
misconce ption and isinformation.

Two Girls in a Joint.

At Chicago, on the 31st, Catholic
priest, Father Alyward, made raid on
a Chinese opium den. Passing along
Halsted Street not far from his church
he saw two young girls enter apart
ments kept by Chinaman named Wan
Chung. The priest suspected some
thing wrong, went to the place, and
being refused admission promptly
knocked the door down, took revolver
out of the hands of Wan Chung, the
proprietor, and found the girls in little
back room smoking opium. They con-
fessed to being frequenters of the den
and implicated many of their compan-
ions A warrant was issued for Wan
Chung, who in the meantime, however,
had escaped

HUGE WATERSPOUT.
A Rare Sight Witnessed Near Asbury
Park, n. j.

The visitors who journeyed to the
beach at Asbury Park, N. j., on the 9TH,
to watch the unusually heavy sea, were
treated to sight rarely witnessed near
shore. About 9 o'clock the wind was
blowing furiously from the northeast.
Suddenly the sea at a spot near the
shore was unusually agitated, and as
the eyes of all were directed
to the spot huge water
spout formed and began moving sea-
ward in a southeasterly direction. The
volume of water was balloon-shaped,
and was fully 800 feet high. There were
no vessels in its track, but Tyler En-
mons, fisherman, narrowly escaped
the mountain of water. He saw it APP
preaching, and pulled his boat out of
the way of the sw1rling column, which
passed within 100 yards of him. The
water-spout left in it's wake. q broad
track of foaming water, and the incom-
ing breakers rolled mountain high for

formerly individual ledger clerks at the
broken keystone Bank, of Philadel-
phia, were arrested on the 9th. charged
with making false entries in their ledgers

ATTACKED BY AN EAGLE.
An Indian Child Killed by the King o
Birds.


A Sault Ste Marie, Mich, dispatch of
the 9th says: John Cowadje, Chip
pewa Indian living on the shore Of Echo
Lake, started out yesterday to guide a
party that was going over into Canada.
His only child, a girl baby, was on the
outside of the hut, near the door,
his wife being on the opposite
side of the dwelling. When the
Indian father and the party had
proceeded half a mile or so, they saw
an enormous bald eagle circling over
the edge of Echo Lake, near the hut.
There was no thought CT danger to the
child, but their sportsman's instinct
prompted them to turn back to get p
shot at the bird. AS they turned to
retrace their steps the eagle made
sudden swoop to the earth. The Indian
quickened his pace and reached his
cabin in advance of the white men.
When they arrived at the lake they
saw a dead eagle OF unusual size and
formidable appearance lying upon
the ground, and near it the Indian
babe, torn and bleeding, and also dying.
The scream and rush of the great bird
upon the child brought the Indian
mother upon the scene. Her babe was
already several feet in the air, held by
the ugly talons of the eagle. The child
was evidently too heavy for the bird
and was dropped to the earth. The
fall caused it's death. The eagle made
another plunge for it's victim, but was
fought off by the mother, who succeeded
in driving it away. AS the bird arose in
the air it was shot by the father, who
had arrived too late to save the child"

BERLIN, Sept. 4.-United States Min
lister Phelps is receiving many messages
of congratulation upon the removal of
the embargo placed upon American
pork. Mr.. Phelps yesterday cabled to
Mr.. Blaine, the United States secretary
of state at Bar Harbor, Me-, informing
the latter of the repeal of the decree,
adding "May |, through you, congrat-
ulate the President upon the fact that
under his auspices long struggle to
secure the right has successfully
ended?"
Mr.. Phelps managed the negotiations
with great skill, but at the last moment,
after the German government had fully
decided to have the decree signed on
September l, it looked as if there
would be another delay by the hesita-
ton of some of the pettiest states.

American Pork Will Now be Admitted

WASHINGTON. d. c., Sept. 3.-Secre-
tary Rusk to-day received official notice
that the German government has raised
the embargo on American pork. The
agreement relative to the admission Of
pork into Germany was signed at Cape
May Point about ten days ago, but at
the request of the German government
the fact was withheld from the public
press until official action could be taken
by the home government. The agree
ment not only provides for the
Abundance Of our pork into Germany,
but also affords to the United States the
same schedule with reference to our
farm products as that enjoyed by Rus
STA. Secretary Rusk is confident that
he will soon be able to extend our mar
ket for corn by introducing it into Ger
many for use as an article of food in the
place of rye, the crop of which is in
Germany this year exceedingly short.
To this end he has instructed his corn

Shortage in Italy's Trade.

to ask at the approaching session Of
Parliament for the abolition of the edict
of Cardinal Pacca, which forbids the
export Of the works Of the old masters.
If this edict should be abolished it will
at once enable Prince Borghese to be
