FELL OUT OF THE HuRRY-uP CART.
But the Officer, Although Bruised and
Bleeding, Took His Man In.

He is a young man who sometimes gets
enough to get himself pulled i'm He
rode in the patrol wagon with Officer
Rowe, and talked pleasantly in his
drunken way, from box 141, on Spring
street, until the cart, with its usual pro-
cession of stragglers in the rear, had
clattered down town and reached the
City Building. Then the passenger sud
denly stopped talking and made dive
for the rear of the wagon. Officer Rowe
sprang and caught him just as the horse,
still going at a rafting pace, turned into
Myrtle street. The result was that the
stragglers saw the officer and the young
man who was drunk shoot out into the
air and fall with ''dull, sickening thud''
on the stone pavement. The young man
hastily got up, but the policeman was
there first. Blood was running over Mr..
to his prisoner and carried him in. A
drunken man is seldom hurt, and this
one, whose name is Howley, did not
prove an exception to the rule. DR.. Way
took several stitches in scalp wound
on the side of Mr.. Rowe's head. The
officer also received several severe bruises
and a sprained finger, but he pluckily
stayed on duty, and after the repairs on
his person were finished, went out again
on the wagon. 1t was remarkable that
both the policeman and the prisoner es-
capped severe injuries as the wagon is
high and went around the corner with
GREAT force.

FRENCH FIGHTING AMAZoNs.
A Battle in Dahomey Said to Have Resulted
in the Death of Hundreds of Natives.

PARIS, October 7.-Col. Dodds, the
commander of the French forces oper-
ating against King Behanzin OF Dahomey,
has telegraphed to the minister OF
marine. giving an account of a battle be-
tween his command and the Dahomeyans
on October 4th. 1t was announced yes
terday that Col. Dodds had crossed the
river Oeume on Sunday last and had en-
camped in the face OF the enemy. the
French were then making preparations
to attack the natives. Col. Dodds states
in his official dispatch that the attack
was made on Tuesday, Oct. 4th. The
day preceding was entirely devoted to
opening road through the forest sur
rounding Obede, the place where the en-
gagement took place, and the French
were thus enabled to execute flank
movement against the natives and de-
ploy their forces before the Dahomeyans
were able to attack them. The natives
occupied a strong position, and a
desperate fight followed the attack by
the French. A thick bushwood sur
rounded the Dahomeyan position, and
this afforded some protection to the at
lacking force. The battle lasted for an
hour, at the end of which the Daho-
meyans fled in disorder and were pur-
sued by the French. The natives, how
ever, were thoroughly familiar with the
country, and had little difficulty in max
ing their escape, but few of them falling
captives to their pursuers.
During the fight five Europeans and
three Senegalese were killed, and %
Europeans and IL natives were wounded.
The enemy's loss is unknown, but they
left on the field 200 dead, including 20 of
King Behanzin's famous Amazons.
These bodies were all counted within
ten yards Of the French lines. A judg-
ment can thus be formed of the bravery
with which the Dahomeyans fight. Two
hundred repeating rifles were found on
the field

The Lewiston Journal says a crazy
man about 25 years old, with a remarka-
bly, silky beard, turned up there Wednes-
day night and the police gathered him
in. He said he came from the Portland
almshouse, and first said his name was
Carly, and afterwards that it was Will
liam Murphy, that he had some money,
enough to take him to Lewiston; that
when he was taken back he would be
licked; that one of the paupers would
thump him with broom when he got
back. Once he said he thumped that
pauper himself. When questioned about
the almshouse he was able to answer the
questions intelligently.
