BRUIN AND THE BUTCHER.

An n-grinder who was travel
ling through the west of England,
accompanied by tame brown bear,
which he had trained to dance,
stopped at farmers house late one
afternoon, and after greatly anus
ing the family by his performance
for his organ was fine one and the
bear very docile and intelligent-he
had no difficulty in obtaining per-
mission to stay all night. He him
self was given bed in the boys
room, but his furry companion had
to be content with a snug corner in
the barn.
little after midnight there came
such alarming noises from the barn:
which was only a few PAGES away,
as to waken everybody in the house.
Frantic shrieks of Help! Help! !!
Murder - and sounds as of a strong
man struggling desperately for dear
life, issue out upon the still night air.
Hurriedly dra wing on some clothes,
and, followed by the organ-grinder,
FASTENED to the barn. On the doors
being thrown open, the rays of the
lantern revealed large man en-
gagged in furious wrestling match
with the bear, from whose mighty
embrace he was vainly endea voring
to escape AS the bear was muz-
zled and had no claws to speak of,
his victim stood in no danger of
serious injury But his position was
alarming enough, Notwithstanding,
and he implored the farmer to come
to his rescue.
Divining, however, that this mid
night visitors mission was a dis
honest one, for which he deserved to
be well punished, the organ-grinder
called out to his pet, Hug him,
Jack hug him ~ and the bear evident
ly enjoying the sport, continued to
squeeze the man numerically, until
the farmer, thinking the rogue had suf-
fered sufficiently, got the BEARS owner
to command his release.
1t turned out that Bruins captive
was a rascally butcher who had
come to steal a fine calf In the
darkness he stumbled over the bear,
and was at once made prisoner. The
farmer was so delighted at the ami
mails conduct that in the morning
he Toasted him upon the best in the
larder, and gave his master

MEXICO'S OLD PEOPLE.

81 observe that when a man dies
in this country at the age of a
hundred years or whereabouts the
papers elaborate on the occurrence
in their news columns as if it were
something wonderful" said Ramon
Casanova of Guadalajaru, Mexico,
who is in this city, yesterday. 81
know a score or more of people in
Mexico considerably more than a
hundred years old, and who give
promise of living many years yet.
There is limited area in the state
of Tamaulipas whose climate, water,
and general conditions seem especial
ly to induce to longevity. 1 visited
the neighborhood few months ago
and saw FIVE generation of one name
living in the same house. The eldest
male was said to be 1872 years old.
He is shrivelled and weakened, blind
and almost dumb, but in other
respects all Of his vital functions
appear to be strong and normal.
There are perhaps fifty people in the
neighborhood whose lives have
spanned a century. They are a
pastoral people, Of Spanish and
Aztec blood, and for generations
have inter-married contrary to all of
the accepted laws of consanguinity.
Their constitutions are not partic-
ularly robust, and none of them is
over five feet six inches tall They
are cut off from the rest of the world,
and are ignorant as to the great
population of the globe, nor do they
seem to have the slightest conception
as to the mode Of life of other peo-
pie. They live in the most primitive
way, and perhaps it is this absence
of the tremendous pressure of modern
civilization that largely conduces to
their marvellous longevity."- TSt.

TRENTON, March 7.-Prosecutor
Wilson H. Jenkins, of Camden, had
an interview with Chief Justice
Beasley to day in the Lingo matter.

expression from the Chief Justice as
to whether he would be permitted

Judge Westcott in reference to the
testimony of Detective James A..
Campbell.
Mr.. Jenkins said it was not true
that he had refused to allow the in.
PRODUCTION Of Campbell's testimony
at the trial. or that Campbell was
prevented from coming into New
Jersey to testify through threats of
arrest on a charge of perjury in con-
nection with the alleged confession.
He said he would have given
Campbell a safe conduct into and
out Of the State, and that his objec-
zion to the Campbell story taken be-
fore Commissioner Vroom in Phila-
delphia was that it was not under
oath, and that Vroom was told be.
fore the testimony was taken that it
would be of no worth.
He said there was no new testi-
mony that could not have been pro-
duced at the former trial.
The Chief Justice listened to the
prosecutors statement and gave him
no decision as to the action to be
taken in the matter.
When the Chief Justice was ap.
piled to later for information, he
said:
"There is nothing new in the
Lingo case to-day. A decision will
be given either tomorrow or on
Wednesday,"

trial on Tuesday noon.

The loaded freight ears coming
down the B. & S. Railroad are weigh.
ed at Bloomsbury, this work being
performed by Mr.. Kocher or his as
sistants from the D. L. & w. Office.
On Thursday afternoon, the freight
train came in heavily loaded, and
the work ofweighing was about to be-
gin. Charles A. Thomas anassistaEt
of Mr.. Kochers jumped on the rear
car Of the train as it was backing
down to the weighing scales. AS the
car upon which he was riding ap-
preached the scales he leaped of,
but ascertaining that he had for
gotten the key, he endeavored to
cross the track in front of the ap-
preaching cars to procure key
from trainman. He slipped and
fell across the rail. By struggling
he succeeded in rolling partially off
before being caught by the car.
While he no doubt saved his life, he
did not escape being mained for life.
His left leg was mashed from the
knee down and the flesh on his
right leg was considerably lacerated.
The injury to his left leg was so
serious as to necessitate it's amputa>
tion above the knee. He stood the
operation like hero and is getting
along as comfortably as can be ex-
pected under the circumstances.

Lodge Members Have q Dispute
at u Funeral.

CHESTER, March 6.-There was a
sensation here to-day at the funeral
OF John NJ. Lamplugh, of 25O9
West Girard street. Mr.. Lamplugh
was a member of the Knights
Templar, Royal Arch Chapter and
Scott Lodge of Masons, Knights Of
Birmingham, Independent Order Of
Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias,
Red Men and United American
Mechanics.
All the different lodges were i'm
vited by the family to take part in
the obsequies, and some five hun
dred members OF the various orders
went to the house. The Masons
claimed the right to all the pail
bearers which the family said could
be settled by the different orders.
A controversy was had for half
hour on the pavement in front of
the house over the matter. The
Masons refused to give one point.
1t was then agreed by the contend.
ing lodges that the Masons should
be allowed, six pall-bearers, if each
of them was allowed one as honor
airy.
This the AIasons, also refused, and
all the lodges withdrew from the

DEPUTY SHERIFF'S SHOT BY
ROUGHS.

u
ROUGHs.
Serious consequences Of q Race
War in Tennessee Town
MEMPHIS. Tenn. March e.
News reached the city last night OF
a riot at the curve on the fernando
road, three miles from the city.
Four deputy sheriff's who had gone
there to arrest some negroes had
been fred upon.
THE CAUSE OF 1T.
Twenty negroes have been placed
under arrest. Those arrested in
clude Calvin Mcdowell, manager of
the cooperative store, where the
shooting took place and Tom Moss,
letter carrier. who are believed to
have been the ringleaders of the af-
fair. Josh Shields, who shot Depu.
ties Harold and Yerger, is still at
large.
A SMALL RIOT.
A short time ago a negro youth
named Armour Harris assaulted the
child of Cornelius Hurst, an ex.
press messenger. Hurst caught
Armour and thrashed him. Other
negroes interfered and Hurst club
bed one of them.
Last Wednesday night the negroes
assembled at the Curve and were
very riotous. W. r. Barrett, who
runs a grocery, tried to quiet them
and was set upon and dubbed and
shot at, several bullets passing
through his clothes.
THE NEGROES THREATEN.
The assault occurred in the "Peo-
ple's Grocery" an establishment
owned by stock company Of neg
roes, and run by Calvin Mcdowell.
Mcdowell was arrested Thursday,
and gave bond for his appearance at
the Criminal Court. Since then the
negroes have been holding secret
meetings, and evidently preparing
for trouble.
Yesterday, they boasted to the
white residents that no deputy
sheriff dare to arrest them. The
white people were uneasy, and their
families left their homes and moved
to town.
Judge Dubois was appealed to
and issued a bench warrant for
Armour Harris and Will Stuart and
instructed the officers of the court
to get assistance and arrest the
negroes, also to suppress any rot
assembly around the Curve.
So three officers called on nine OF
the men, most of them deputy
sheriffs, and proceed at 10 O'Clock
last night to the place Of the recent
disturbance.
FOUR DEPUTIES SHOT.
Nine deputies went into the store
and while talking to the keeper, the
room seemed to fill with negroes.
Suddenly there was a shot, and
Deputy Sheriff Clarke Cole fell to
the floor mortally wounded. This
seemed to be the signal, for in an
instant the firing became general.
Deputy Bob Farrell went down
next with a load of buckshot in his
back. The deputies taken complete.
ly by surprise, were unable to re-
turn the Gre.
In minute the remaining two, E
A. Yerger and o. L. Webber, went
to the floor, the former riddled with
birdshot and the latter with charge
Of buckshot in his legs.

HILLS SUPPORTERS.
Another Call for Blaine to Lead
He is Said to be Sure to Win
by Two Ex-Statesmen.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Senator
Hill is strengthening himself with
the machine Democrats by espous-
ing the cause of his fellow towns
men, Congressman Rockwell, whose
seat is being contested by Republi-
can.
Several Democrats on the Com.
mittee are understood to be con-
vinced that Noyes was elected and
favor the ousting of Rockwell.
Senator Hill however, carrying his
New York methods into national
politics, is bringing a personal pres
sure to bear upon them, and has
been able to delay the action of the
committee in the hope of whipping
them into line.
This delights the Bourbons, who
declare that Hill is a Democrat after
their own hearts.
The estimate of Hills 8 prospective
strength just made by his friends
gives him three hundred votes in
the National Convention, a group
which they claim will attract enough
votes after few ballots to nominate
him.
Some of Secretary Blaine's friends
continue to insist on forcing the Re.
publican nomination upon him.
Mr.. John Bowles, OF New York. in
letter sent here for publication,
insists that the duty of the conven-
tion will be to nominate Mr.. Blaine
as the man who can most surely win,
and that he will have no right to
decline.
Ex-senator Kellogg, who returned
to-day from Louisiana, reports the
Custom House wing of the Republi-
cans in the minority there, and init
mates that Louisiana Republicans
will send an anti Harrison delega-
ton to Minneapolis.
From what can be gathered here
relative to the New York situation
it is believed the Republican dele
CATION from that State will GO unin.
