LOCAL COMMENT.

When the yellow golden corn
Gins to ripen in the shock;
When the gardener with a song
Gins to hustle in his truck;
When the oriole and mocker
Each fly to realms of winter;
Then is the proper time for you
To square up with the printer.

Train VreekIna.

Sunday evening, tie 4th, the west
bound passenger on the Santa Fe ran
off an opsn switch just vest of the
depot at this city and the engine vas
ditched and turned over, and the mail
car also thrown off the track. Luckily
no one was injured. An investigation
of the cause of the accident leads the
railroad men to believe that deliber-
ate attempt was made to wreck q
train. The switch connecting the
main line track with what Is called the
house switch was opened, and the
switch lights were put out. a car of
merchandise had been pushed down
on the house track near to the
switch, broken open and few
things taken out, and the
theory is that the plan was to
have the night freight which comes
from the west turned off of the main
track and ran into the car of merchan-
disc, which would have resulted In
smashing the latter and giving the
thieves who are supposed to have been
secreted near by an opportunity to loot
the car during the excitement of the
wreck. The passenger, however. came
sooner than was calculated on by the
vandals, the new time brining it due
here at 8 Is, and it ran into the open
switch instead of the expected freight
from the west. 1t is hoped that, i
this theory is correct, the wreckers will
be caught and q term of years given
them in the state peni:entiary.

more Miss Cora went with her family to
Chicago This had bad effect on young
Garvin. He pined for his sweetheart, lost
his appetite. his interest in everything, in
fact, but the letters which came constantly
from his beloved Cora She kept writing
that she was still devoted to him, always
faithful to the man who had become her
absolute slave. He thought he was the
only man admitted to her fsvors, and when
she finally agreed to return he was over
joyed. He paid her fare from Chicago, as
he had often before supplied her and her
mother with money. Three days after her
return they were married and went to live
at Garvin's bone in Allegheny. The
trouble began there.
What the Defense VIII Show.
The defense intends to show that on the
very day Cora was married she received Q
letter from one Edward Rahm, of Sewick-
ley, married man, asking her to meet him
in town. The day after her marriage she
got another letter, naming the time between
12 and clock as most convenient for their
meeting. On the same day Cora told Frank
he was too poor to buy the clothes and give
her the pleasures of lite she was used to.
While she fondled him she was murmuring
in his ear: 'You know you can't support
me on s1S week! On Friday want to 90

Commissioner Beal Opens the City Assess
ment Hearings.
The first of the hearings before Commits
sioner Beal in the triennial assessment
cases was held in the City Hall reception
room yesterday. None of the appe ais were
taken up, the prosecution devoting the day
to a a.cross-examination of the assessors
on the method by which they fixed valua-
tions. An effort was made to show that the
board had been assisted in its work by out
siders Chief Assessor Case said while on
the stand that well-intormed persons gave
the board information, but no particular
assessments were made upon such informa-
tion. The assessors had visited every ward
in the city, endeavored to fully acauaint
themselves with property values and fixed
the valuations as they deemed fair and
just. One member of the board, it was ad-
mitted, sometimes made assessments or al
terations or issued generations without
assistance or consultation with other men,
bers.
Assistant City Attorney Carnahan con-
Quoted the city's side of the case. He de-
clared last night that to-day the defense
will insist on proceeding with the appeals,
instead of wasting time as he saws they did
yesterday. An hour or two will be allowed
for general testimony, and then the Thir
ward appeals will be called up. 1t is prob
able some night sessions will be arranged
for this week. The hearing will continue
this morning.

Notwithstanding the publicity given to the

and the invitation extended to all manu-

had taken any interest in the matter, and he
was very much disappointed. The committee
had been deligent in their work and stood
ready to do anything in their power, but it
seemed to be the impression of those inter-

the case, and prescribe remedy before they

BIGEL0W'S LION FREE.
Breaks the Bars of His Den and Gets
Out Before Discovered.
MAKES A DESPERATE BATTLE.
The Trainer Finally Drives Him Iack With
o Red Hot Iron.
ONE NAN BADLY HURT BY THE BRUTE

One of the big lions which Chief Bige-
low has been endeavoring to purchase for
the Schenley Park geological collection
escaped from its cage at New Castle yester-
day and caused sensation. There are q
pair of the lions The largest of the two
broke the bars of his prison before the keep
er, Mark Monroe, who sleeps in the animal
quarters, was awake. A terrific roar in the
enclosure caused Monroe to jump from his
bed. When he opened the door he was
Mortified to see the big fellow standing in
the center of the room, glaring around him
and lashing himself with his tail The
other animals were huddled together in one
corner of the space trembling and uttering
piteous cries of fear.
1t was Monroe's first impulse to enter
with his sharp pointed pike and attempt to
drive the skiing Of the forest" back into his
den. But he changed his mind. When he
made step forward the lion made two,
and was crouching for a mighty spring
when the trainer realized the danger. He
Jumped back then and closed the door.
A huge iron poker lying on the floor
presented an idea Selling it the trainer
thrust it into the furnace. In two or three
minutes the poker was red hot. Then the
trainer ran quickly to the inclosure and
opened the door. The great beast rose as if
surprised at the boldness of the attack.
Before he had recovered Monroe ran up and
struck him with the hot iron.
The lion made a spring for his trainer
who parried him off with the kissing iron
and caused him to roar with rage. The
other animals also Joined in the acclaim
making frightful noise and drawing q
frightened crowd around the building.
Monroe forced the fighting For some time
the big fellow fought back, but finally
after he had been terribly scorched with
the red-hot bar he began to retreat to his
cage.
Once inside Monroe banged the blind door
shut and the danger was over. During the
morning new bars were inserted where the
lion had broken the old ones, and then the
blind door was removed. The lion crouched
in the corner of his cage growing and
licking his wounds George Bishop went
in and stopped to look at the wounded ami
NAL. Before he realized his danger the lion
sprang against the bars with all his force,
reaching one of his mighty paws through
the bars to the shoulder and catching
Bishop by the thigh. The lions claws sank
into the flesh, lascerating it fearfully and
causing Bishop to scream with pain. As
sistance came quickly and he was rescued
in the nick of time. Then the blind door
was replaced and Will be kept there until
the danger of another attack is over
As result of the escape the lion is badly
disfgured. He was one of the finest speci-
mems in the country and Chief Bigelow
was anxious to secure him on that account.

Northside Guardians Call Upon Their
Printer for Explanation.
The Allegheny Auditing Committee held
its regular meeting last night Auditor
Bigger reported that he had finished an
examination of the accounts of the City
Solicitor, but it would require few days to
complete the figures aud give complete
report He had also looked over the books
of the delinquent tax collector and was of
the opinion the examination of the accounts
of this department could be made and q
report given to the committee at its
December meeting. The report was received
and filed.
John Ogden, the printer, was present at
the meeting at the request of the commit
tee to explain some figures contained in a
former report of the Auditors In the re-
port made in June, 1892, as to the accounts
of the Controllers office they stated that
they found from February 20, 1880, to
March 8. 1890, charges for printing ordi-
nances in excess of the contract rates had
been paid amounting to S6475
Mr.. Ogden explained that the extra
charges were for printing ordinances that
had been amended and reprinted. The
matter was not entirely satisfactory to the
committee and it was referred to a sub
committee for adjustment

PUT ON SINGLE TURN,
The Effect of the Election Shown q,
Painters Mill.

The Effect of the Election Shown at
Painters Mill.
]. Painter & Sons West End mill was put
on single turn yesterday. For many years
the plant has run three turns. Superintend-
ent I. L. Harper, of the works gives this
reason:
''The result of last Tuesdays election and
the want of ORDERS" he said sis the reason
we have put the mill on single turn. We
have fairly good stock of iron on hand and
we don't want to manufacture any more
material then we can dispose OF. If the
Democratic party lives up to its platform
they will take the tariff off raw material,
and If they do it is going to affect this
country and especially this county seriously.
Some of the Democrats are already clamor-
ing for an extra session of Congress next
March. If the session is called it is hard to
tell just what will be done. If President
Cleveland decides not to call an extra
session. of course we will have another year
to go on"
