a DEER WHIPS A BULL.
The Fight In q Pasture Tot That Farmer

The Fight In q Pasture Tot That Farmer
Goodrich, Of Panther Hill, Saw.
Abner M. Goodrich, who lives on
Panther hill, thirteen miles south Of
Scranton, Pa, says the New York Sun,
saw buck deer strolling along the
edge of piece of woods on his place a
few days ago. Suddenly the buck
stopped, threw back his antlers and be-
gan gazing toward the farm buildings.
In hillside pasture field, twenty rods
below the buck, Mr. Goodrich's herd Of
cattle were grazing. All at once the
buck caught sight Of the cattle, and,
leaping over the fence, bounded down
the hillside toward them. The cows
became frightened at the bucks sudden
appearance, and with their tails In the
air they cantered to corner Of the
pasture. The bull in the herd did not
run. '.".~e
When the buck saw the cows caper-
ing away he came to sudden stop.
The bull Immediately faced the strange
animal, beloved savagely and began
to paw up the dirt. At first the buck
acted as if he didn't know what to make
of the noisy bulls actions. He backed
off few feet and the bull slowly fol-
lowed him. Then the bull made .
lunge at the buck with lowered horns,
and the buck got out of his way by
bounding to one side. This was re-
peated a number of times, the bull be-
coming more angry at each failure to
gore the buck, while the buck eyed his
noisy antagonist and kept out OF his
reach. s.
Finally the buck began to get mad at
the way the bull was making him shift
his ground. When the bull again
lunged at him he uttered loud bleat,
bounded into the air and struck the
bull in the neck. One of the bulls
horns pierced the bucks shoulder, and
then the bucks fighting nature was
aroused to the highest pitch. He
danced all around the bull, jammed hi
prongs into the bulls sides, struck hin
with his sharp hoofs and didn't give the
bull another chance to gore him.
Soon the bucks energetic and fierce
attack completely demoralized the bull
He made one more effort to down hi
lively antagonist but failed to hool
him, while the buck got in anothe
telling strike on the bulls ribs. Thel
the bull gave q below Of rage, turnet
tail like flash and ran at the top o.
his speed to where the cows wer'
huddlcd. For moment the triumphan
buck stood and gazed at the fugitive
bull. Then he whirled, legged 1t VI
the hill, scaled the fence and disap
peared in the forest. The bull was 81
badly injured that Mr.. Goodrich had t
kill him.

ROMANCE AND COMMON SENSE.

The Latter Won In This Instance Much
to Everybody's Advantage.
The approaching marriage of we'll
known society belle OF Virginia to a
young man of great promise in q
certain little town in the old dominion
has just brought to light dainty bit OF
romance which. at the same time,
points moral, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. The principals in the little
drama are the young couple and Rev.
Alexander Alison, ID. d., of the Alex
ander Presbyterian church, this city.
One sunny afternoon about eighteen
months ago DIR. Alison was working in
the study attached to the church, when
he was interrupted by the entrance of
young girl of surprising beauty, and a
manly looking fellow, who immediate
ly explained their visit as the result OF
determination to get married.
They had no marriage license, and
while the young fellow hurried off to
secure one in time to have the ceremony
performed that day, the young lady re-
manned in the study,
DIR. Alison shrewdly suspected that
the affair was to be secret marriage,
and during the would-be husbands
absence questioned the girl, who frankly
told him she was the only child of a
wealthy and influential lawyer in Vir-
ginia, that she, was visiting wealthy
friends in West Philadelphia, and that
the young man was q medical student
in New York, who had been engaged
to her for five years. He was visiting
the same people, in West Philadelphia,
and, more as joke than anything else,
they had impetuously agreed to marry
in secret. She was about going for a
years visit to California and the young
man, she added, wished to make
sure her beauty would not cause some
Californian to tear her from him.
DR.. Alison pointed out the advantage
she was taking of her father, the man
ner in which both of them would be
trammeled and worried if they married
and then separated, as must be the case
and urged that they wait until she re-
turned home and then be married
properly and as their high social posi-
ton demanded. The girls Virginia
blood came to the front under pressure
of the clergyman's logical arguments
and she announced her intention of fol
lowing his advice. >..,-g
DIR. Alison informed the young maj
when he returned finally, minus a Il
cense, because it was after hours a
the clerks office, of his views regarding
their matrimonial venture, and tn
young lady declared, she would no
marry. A stormy time was looked TO
from the young man, but he sensibl
fell in with the majority and said h
would wait until his sweetheart shoul
return from the Pacific slope. The gin
thanked DIR. Alison cordially, an
begged him not to reveal her name t
anyone and the two departed. 49, ys..~
DR.. Alison recently received an in
vitation to their wedding, which o,
Cured with great ceremony. The youn
student is now an M. d. DR.. Also
would have officiated ct the ceremon,
but did not like to supplant the Vii

AFRICAN sAvAcEs.
A Tribe That vanquished One Thousand
white Men.

A Tribe That vanquished One Thousand
white Men.
Only few weeks ago came the news
of terrible disaster to the expedition
which Capt Won Zelewski recently led
into the interior of German east Africa.
He had with him about one thousand
mon. When about two hundred and
fifty miles in the interior, in the coun-
try Of the Wahehe, he was attacked b.
that savage tribe. He and nine OF hi.
white officers were killed or are miss
ing. Only two Of his officers escaped
to the coast. The Germans fell into Oh
ambush and were attacked by over
whelming numbers. Many members
of the expedition were taken captive,
and it is believed that at least three
hundred of them were killed, while
about three hundred returned to the
coast. A battle so costly in loss Of
men has never before been fought be-
tween the whites and natives of equa-
torial Africa. -:
1t may be interesting, says the Chica-
go Tribune, to know something of the
natives who have inflicted such ter
rible reverse upon the whites. The
plateau country Of Uhehe begins about
three hundred miles southwest of lag
amoye and about one hundred and fifty
miles northeast OF Lake Nyassa. Along
the upper waters of the Ruff river,
which is here known as the Ruaha, the
country is surrounded by mountains
through which it is difficult to march

The Chilean Contestants Closely
Watching Each Other.
Ihe InSursent Leader Preparing to Change
His Plans.
fable to Capture Valparaiso -NeY Line Of
Attack AdOpted-EfeCt Noticed In
LOldOn'S Financial Markets.
EpeciaI 10 THE MORNING CALI.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The Herald's VAL
paraiso special cablegram says: The hostile
armies are still watching each other, and
outside of some skirmishing nothing was
done to-day. II is believed that the COM
mander of the Congressional forces has
realized that it will be impossible to capture
Valparaiso along the lines originally laid
put and that he is preparing TO change his
plan of attack.
LONDON, Aug 25.-The papers here well
come the news of the battle which began
Friday last near VALPARAISO between the
Government troops and the Chilean insur-
gents. They believe the battle so fiercely
waged there is an indication of the speedy
end of a struggle which is bringing such
disastrous results to Chile. The news of
the battle when received here had favor
able influence upon the stock exchanges.
The prices for Chilean bonds advanced
slightly. 1t is believed that a big recovery
in these bonds will occur when things have
settled down, although the conditions which
prevail in other South American republics
will prevent speedy return to prices that
ruled before the breaking out of the
troubles.
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-W. R. Grace & Co.,
the South American shipping firm, on Mon
day night received dispatch from their
agent at Valparaiso, saying that all was
quiet there. From this Grace e Co infer
that there was no fighting in Valparaiso.
A second telegram was received to-day and
declared the situation to be unchanged. It
Is believed that either there has been as vet
no active operations in the city proper, or
that the authorities there will not permit
information of any battle to be sent out.
Flint IL CO. said to-day that they were
without any information regarding the
Chilean war

The Republic Of Hayti Ruled by
Hyppolite.
AenaclnS Malcontsnts Quickly and Forci-
bly, Suppressed.
Port au Prince GarrSOned by 5000 Soldiers
No Outbreak Feared-Serious Charges
Against Naval Officers.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK. Aug 25.-The correspondent
OF the Associated Press at Port-au- Prince.
writing under date of August 18th, quotes
Acting United States Minister Terres as
saying There's absolutely no foundation
Tor the statements that Hyppolite or his
Government has acted in the outrageous
manner represented in the United States
papers during July. l believe that Hyppo-
lite is sincere in his desire to do right, but
will not tolerate the slightest attempt to
weaken his. authority. or course he is not
paragon and it will probably never be
known Eow far he was justified in his
course on May 2Sth. Certain 1t is that if ne
bad been assassinated the city would have
been in flames in less than half an hour
Probably thousand persons would have
lost their lives, looting would have been
rampant and nobody knows what the end
would have been."
According to Terres. "the bloodthirsti-
ness of the maniacal outbreaks attributed
to Hyppoite from time to time have no
place in his nature. Assurances are given
by diplomats, capitalists and business men
generally that till the affair of May 2Sth the
present Government had been extraordina-
rily patient. The full liberty of the press
has been repaid with scurrlIous criticisms
and misrepresentstions. When there began
to be indications Of au open defiance Hyppo-
lite gave warning that he proposed to take
severe measures to uphold his authority.
The malcontents are now proving that they
can be very quiet"
The publication of pamphlet by John
Metzger, American Consul at Gonaves, on
"Ihe American Question in HaytI," has
aroused much attention. The charges made
against Admiral Gherardi, Lieutenant
Hughes and others are very grave. Metz
ger. in an interview, said "an outrageous
method was resorted to by our Government
in its dealings with Hayt on the question
of the Mole st. Nicholas. Our State De-
partment knows that the Havtian Consti-
tuition expressly forbids the lea sing or occu-
patton Of Haytian territory by an alien
power. Had the question been submitted
Ia courteous way to the Haytian Cabinet
the interests which would have been served
would have been discussed and the people
would have been educated into final acQui-
eScence."
The correspondent says that while affairs
are now tranquil, it is true there is much
uncertainty as TO the future. The city is
garrsoned by 5000 troops, and Hyppolite is
confident he can crush any outbreak.

KELLY CAPTURED.
The National League Club Of Boston Gets a
$4,000 Captain.

Boston, Aug. 25.-M. j. Kelly, Familiarity
known as King Kelly, eX-captan Of the
Boston Players League and Cincinnati As
sUciation baseball club. has signed a con-
tract with the Boston National League Club,
running for three years, including the pres
ent, at a salary of S25,000 and he has a
check of the Boston club for $4,000 in his
pocket. This is the largest salary paid to
any player not a club stockholder. Kelly
says he has not jumped his contract, al
though Brown says he will make it warm
for Kelly as soon as he gets the papers.
Treasurer Billings of the Boston League
Club says: "Kelly,s contract with the Bos-
ton Association Club was transferred to
Cincinnati wien that club went out of ex
iSteuce. The Boston Association Club had
no claims on him, and since that time
both clubs have been working like
beavers to get him. This morning George
Floyd, Kelly. MIR. Conant, my father, and
myself met at his house, and.after consider
able talk Kelly signed the contract. He is
to act as captain of the club and receive
$4,000 for three seasons play beginning
now. Kelly and George Floyd leave here
tomorrow and will join the club in Cleve-
land. This has nothing whatever to do
with meeting in Washington to-day, and
MIR. Prince has telegraphed here to have all
compromise negotiations stopped. We feel
certain the association has no legal hold on
him and we know he will greatly strengthen
our clab and players" Kelly was seen at
the association grounds this afternoon and
when asked if it was true he replied that it
was and the management would give the
particulars and he was glad of it. The
National League men are very jubiant over
the prize, while the association men are
naturally very sore. Kelly claims that he
never signed any contract so he has not
jumped any, and declares that everything
Will be satisfactory TO both clubs.

ENGLAND ANXIOUS.
Pan-American Enterprises Viewed With
Much Alarm.

LONDON, Aug. 2j.-The Times to-day
publishes three-column article upon the
projected intercontinental railway which.
when completed. will link the South and
Central American republics with each other
and with the United States. In discussing
these plans the Times expresses the opinion
that james q. Blaine, United States Sec
retary OF State, is man OF grandiose ideas,
and if. as 1t seems quite possible, he is the
President there VIII be some chance of
realizing the scheme" Continuing, the
Times says: THE project aims to join
the markets of North and South Amer
lea, but there is 10 place for a general COM
merelal system even III the relations be-
tween the several republics.
COMPETITION by WATER
The railroad, when completed. would
have TO compete with The great waterways
on either side of the continent From
Buenos Ayres to New York and from Val
paralso to San Francisco the existing means
OF travel are simpler and cheaper than they
ever could be made on the railroad. 1t is
obvious the scheme equally has political as
well as commercial ends in view. To join
the North and South American republics.
even though at first outward sight the union
will be nothing but of iron rail. with the
supreme center of the republi an Govern
ment at Washington, is conception Of CAP
tIyating magnitude"
oVERTUREs FOR RECIPROCITY.
The Times also asserts the recent pro-
posalS on the part Of the United States
looking TO the establishment of reciprocity
with various republics on the con .ineut are
generally received by the countries to which
the overtureS were made as specimens of
absolutely cynical Anglo-Saxon selfshness,
and that the proposals have created pro-
found distguSt in American overtures.
Touching upon the question as to where
the capital is to be found for the enormous
enterprise, the Times expresses the opinion
that it cannot be found in the needy south
ern republics, and that it must be raised in
the United States. The latter would be
obliged to guarantee the interest on the
cost of construction, and there is strong
conviction the United States would recoup
Itself for this guarantee at the expense of
the republics further south.
POLITICAL CONCESSIONS WANTED.
Many people of practical opinion" the
Times says, believe the scheme never will
be realized. The price demanded bv the
United States for guaranteeing the bonds of
the railroad would be comm srcial and pnlit-
ical concessions which the other republics
could not grant. The United States is re-
garded as a rival Of England, and as the
States of the southern half Of the continent
were developed by English capital, there
exists an important party which will regard
any step toward closer commercial and polit-
ical relations with the United States as a
step away from an old and trusted friend"
