LIBBY PRlso IS FIRST INMATE.


One of the features OF the old Libby
prison which now stands in Chicago is to be
the picture of Philander A. Streeter, Co. G,
of the % Vermont infantry. Unfortunate
enough to be captured In the first battle of
Bull Run on July Il, 1861, he was taken to
Libby prison two days later. On his way
there hs and his compatriots were treated
with every indignation by the hostile peo-
pie through whose reg ions they passed, for this
was the first lot OF Union prisoners. MIR.
Streeter was at the head of the line. He
hurried up to the third floor OF the prison
and sat by q widow on the only chair in the
room. His stay III the building lasted until
January B, 1862, when he was exchanged.
1t did not break him down, as ne is bale
and hearty man to day. He is now engaged

DEER AND LYNX IN BENNING 7 ON.
A Lively Chnss Intercepted by Trap
psr's Appearance.

pers appearance
A trapper's exciting experience in Ben
nington hills is narrated by the Troy Times.
While he was following an old road through h
a heavily-wooded gulch, deer dashed into
view. With cleaning eyes and uplifted
head the animal paused in alright for a
moment and glanced wildly back, az il pur-
sued. A rife was leveled at the deer and
then lowered--ths noble animal must have
immunity from powder and ball. With long
leaps the deer made q slight detour, and
breaking through the underbrush disappear
ed up crags so steep that it seemed almost
Impossible to get a foothold for his slender
hoofs. In q minute or two the rush of
boofs aud the crash OF brush indicated that
the deer was returning in almost the same
course in which he disappeared. He passed
by the man once more with all the speed
that fear could give to his limbs and was
lost to view around a curve in the old road.
Suddenly the stiffness was broken by q
blood curdling cry--a cry that deeply
penetrated the for stretching soiitudes and
died away in echoes among the cliffs. The
cry was repeated again and again. The
man was unnerved for a moment, but mus
teripg courage he advanced cautiously in
the direction whence the sound camo and
saw # zig lynx crouched on a rock and boat
ing the air with his tail. A rifle ball struck
the rock on which the savage brute was ~
ing. and springing TO its feet the lynx show
cd a disposition to fight. Another bail
struck harmlessly beside him, but the ami
nal was too diplomatic to set himself up for
a target for balls fired even by 40 unsteady
hand, and springing from tbs rock d,sap-
peared with few light leaps in the forest.
The man went over the ground ken by the
deer, and by the tracks in the snow it was
estimated that the lynx had followed the
animal more than two miles. 1t is thought
1T is the same deer that has been seen on
the Green mountains on several other occa.
sions.

COLUMBUS, April 1.-THE last four
days have been tie most distressing this
section has ever experienced. wednesday
morning the 1ombigboo river, already full,
began rising rapidly, and by Thursday
morning all the lowlands were submerged,
the river having risen Ii feet that night.
It continued to rise all that day, and by
Friday morning was seven feet higher than
ever known before Black and Luxpilla
creeks Joined their waters with the Tombg-
bee aud Columbus was then literally an
island with five miles OF water i'll every di-
rection.
Thsrs has been great loss Of life and and
an immense amount of property destroyed.
Fourteen negroes were drowned within q
few miles of this place. \ low estimate
puts the loss at 80 in this county. Up to
this time no whites have been reported
drowned. The foods have carried destruc-
tion in all directions.
Hundreds OF homes have beeD swept
away, miles aud miles ct fences destroyed
and the loss of mules aud cattle is very
large. The river and creeks rose SO rapidly
that great number OF peonlo aroused from
their s1unber by the rush OF water through
their houses, could save nothing OF their
household effects.
There are 600 homeless negroes now being
sheltsred and fell by the city and county.
The mayer of tho city has appealed TO the
federal government for aid. Great damage
has been done to roadbeds ami the trestliug
of the Mobile and Ohio and Georgia Pacific
railroads.

THE ADIRONDACK RAILROAD.
The Central Vermont Takes Control
A Shrewd Mnvement

The Central Vermont Takes Control
A shrewd Movement
The Central Vermont Railroad company
began operating the st. Lawrence and Adj
rondock railroad between Malone, N. Y,
and Valleyheld z. O., Monday. The
Central will probably operate the line when
completed to point in the Adirondack,
which arrangement will give the road a di-
rect route into the great summer tourist
region. The New York Central will retain
control OF the southern half Of the road,
which will give the Vanderbilts through
and direct line to the Adirondacks from the
west and south. 1t is understood that that
is all the Now York Central people care for.
They have been working for years to get
road into the Adirondack and they have at
last accomplished the task.
The present arrangement will also be
very profitable one for the Central Vermont
for large share Of tho lumber trausporta-
ton will be secured by the Central COM
pany and this will be no small item.
1t is estimated by railroad official who Is
in position to know whereof he speaks,
that the thousands and thousands of acres
of valuable timber land in the Adir ondacks
will furnish an output of millions OF carloads
of lumber in a few years. He says that the
great cry of protecting the forests is all
right in its way, but there is demand for
the vast tract of timber and it will be cut.
There is no possible way for the State of
New York to preserve these forests owned
by individuals except, of course, by buying
the land. He said that the idea OF convert
ing that whole wilderness into park would
never be carried out because it would neces-
state an enormous expenditure of money
which could not be raised
