A FIGHT WITH A BEAR.
The Famous Hunter Obadiah Barber
Has an Adventure.


WaycFoss, Ga, Oct. 2.--Mr Obadiah
Barber, the veteran bear hunter from
down on the Okefnokee swamp, who
claims to have killed a score of them, re-
lates the following story; For several
weeks the bears have been DESTROYING our
hogs and | concluded few DAYS ago
that bear hunt was in order A young
man seconded the motion, and it was
"a 60" Provided with dogs, guns
and ammunition, we arrived at
place where the water was
waist deep in the thickest of the swamp
We found it very difficult to proceed fur
Their. We had about decided to return
home when our attention was called by
strange noise near by. Listening again
we discovered that the sounds were com
ing from spot distant about twenty
yards to our right. We could not de
eide upon what course.to follow, as we did
not know what made the noise. Sud
denly the noise became louder and we were
satisfied that it was bear. We waited
no longer, but holding the guns and am
munition over our shoulders made a leap
into the mud and water and advanced
We saw standing on a tussock two small
cubs. Nothing was seen of the old bear
and we prepared to kill the cubs
Near them was the carcass of hog.
which might have once belonged to me
The cubs were picking playfully at the
carcass and were not apprehensive Of our
approach. Not wishing to make any un-
necessary noise, we concluded to knock
the cubs in the head with pine knots.
A large root of a dead gum tree was
found, and 1 proceeded to deal a heavy
blow upon the head of the cub nearest to
me. No sooner had the cub been hit.
than a terrible growl was heard directly
over the cubs. | looked up tree and
saw the old bear coming quickly down.
She was furiously mad, and l knew that
she meant to be game, l waited until she
reached the ground, and, aiming my gun
at her heart, fred She roared with pain
but did not stop, and / saw had to do
quick work or have a "hugging
time" with her. Another load of
lead was aimed at her head and
she fell on the tussoek. She vainiy
attempted TO stand up, but she was bleed
ing fast and was too weak. Finally she
died, after coming near grabbing me with
her claws. The young man was there,
but he was trembling with fear We
killed the cub and would have saved the
meat Of the bear, but it was no easy Job,
as the water was too high.

williamsburg County Quietly Strings
Up a Black Ravisher.

Columbia, =. g.. Oct 2-The scyoud
lynching within the last five months in
Williamsburg county, this state occurred
early this morning at Moorc's Cross
Roads. fifteen miles from the county seat.
The victim was a 25-year-old negro named
George McFadden, alias Jake Stokes.
who attempted 10 commit criminal as
sault on Miss Sallie DuBoSe, the l6-year-
old daughter Of -. &. DuBOSe. "A highly re
spected farmer who belongs 10 one Of the
best families in South Carolina.
Mck'adden was caught late last night
and taken before the young lady. who
identified him, whereupon he confessed
his guilt. He was tried by Judge Lynch S
court, convicted and sentenced to die.
The mode of execution was hanging,
which was decided upon by vote
McFadden was prayed for and was
given time to prepare TO die, and was then
hanged decently and in order.
A handkerchief had been placed over
his eyes, but ii was removed at his re-
quest, as he wished TO see it out. During
all this he never moved a muscle, and
seemed utterly Indifferent There were
POO whites and three negroes in the
crowd. They were very orderly.
A placard bearing the following was
placed on the corpse: I'VE do not know
any better than to protect our wives and
daughters"

conscious cry Of the mans heart against
the harharitiCs 81 his own childhood
Ia the little stone cottage where they
lived, there is but one room below stairs.
In the upper story there is a room the
same size as that on the first floor. This
Is retained as sort Of showroom, and is
well enough filed to be interesting with
Carlyle relics, including his famous cof-
fee-pot ia which he was won't TO brew his

on this little chamber and sitting-room,
in which there is set a quaint old fire
place, Is a little, long bed room over the
archway; and in this Thomas Carlyle
was born. Altogether the place is unin-
wiling, meager. hard, austere.
DisaSsociating the man Carlyle from
the heroism of his lofty work, you cannot
come TO one spot made warm, tender and
glowing for his having been a part of it.
Even the dreary old kirk-yard where he
lies, but few steps from where he was
born, intensifes the feeling that some
thing of the human and humane was
lacking, or was denied, his whole line.
There does not seem to be one soul in all
the region where he was born and reared
who recalls the family name with loving
kindness and respect To be known as a
pilgrim to the Carlyle home and tomb is
to be regarded with suspicion and sneers.
The very gravestone is parsimonious and
shabby; the Enclosure unkempt; weeds
and brambles crowd the spot closely; the
lad that unlocks the gate smokers behind
yOu and as you stand for little time
leaning upon the iron railing in contem-
plation of the lonely, neglected grave of
this rare old warrior in the field of let
tiers, you cannot but wonder, after all,
if any true greatness can ever exist so
far above the heads and hearts of the
lowly that they are not reached, aided
and encompassed by it.

RAILWAY AcCIDEs. mt
Surgeons Say They Would Rather
Deal With Those Which Occur at
Night.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
Railway surgeons would rather deal
with the victims of night than of day
accident Some of the oldest of them in
attendance upon the Pan-Ameriran medi
cal congress stated this with much posi-
tiveness. They declared that daylight
accident by rail adds greatly to the hor-
rors as well as to the fatalities. The diff
ference is in the increase in the mental
strain, which is so much greater by day
than it Is when darkness wells the scene.
This strain, the surgeons argue, is greater
than in the case of the soldier going into
battle, for he carries with him the hope
that somebody else will stop the bullet
The shock enters very largely into con
sideration with the railway surgeon. BY
this is meant the mental instead
of the physical shock This mental
shock, the railway surgeons say, is great
est where through the sense of sight the
injured is conscious for a few moments Of
approaching danger. The case OF the
brakeman who. while making a flying
switch, catches his foot in the frog is
good illustration. He can not tear him
self loose. He secs the loose car coming
down, and knows what is to happen.
The mental shock to that man makes
his condition much worse than that of a
man whose foot is caught and crushed so
suddenly that he does not have time to
appreciate the impending danger.
The railway surgeons say that many
fatalities occur for which this mental
shock is responsible, rather than the ply
steal injury. They say that experience
proves injuries at night to be less likely
to prove fatal. They account for this by
the fact that the injured has not been
abble TO comprehend what was coming,
as he might have done in the day time.

way found his way into the lower regions
of the white house, aud, meeting the col

''Who is your fatherl" the cook asked
him.
''Mr. Cleveland, of course, " was his re-

just then Policeman Heller appeared
upon the scene and saw at a glance that
the man was not altogether right.
Your father is out in the garden" he
told the mysterious visitor; come with
me and well find him"
Arm in arm they started toward the
door, the intruder thinking that he was
going TO meet the President, but the Of
fcer knew that he would land him at tho
watch box. On their way to the box the
Office asked the man. "What did you

Give us each pistol and I'll show who
will get it-quick."
When they reachedu the watch box
theyifound Policeman Hible on duty. Be
fore that officer knew what was going on
the prisoner grabbed the policeman's
black Jack from his pocket, evidently
thinking he was going to get pistol. He
tried to use the club on the officer, but
both officers grabbed him, and the strug-
gle lasted but few minutes before the
man was Overpowered. The crank was
conveyed to the police station, where he
gave the name Of Joseph Washington and
said he came from Pennsylvania. A
