Patrick Higgins, foreman of the
Corbit collirry, above Coal Ran, near
Shamokin. Pa, spent last Friday fish
iug for trout in Lus>er's run. The
trout bit freely and he had a large

turbed by the appearance" of II large
black bear Hastily grabbing his
trout basket. Higgins began to run.
Bruin started in pursuit and gained
on him. GraspimS several trout he
thrust them backward over his head.
The bear appeared hungry and stop
ped long enough to eat the trout
Whenever the pursuit became un-
comfortably close the fisherman re-
pcated these tactics. Before the

Mr. Higgins declined TO TO accompa-
ny body Of farmers in the hunting
expedition which followed. He says
the bear looked like 4OO-pounder.

Matters From Here and There Concerning the
Great Corporations.

Great Corporations.
The Norfolk & Western Railroad
and its affairs have been the subject
of great deal of comment tlfe past
week. At Charleston, this State, last
Thursday, an attachment suit was be-
gun by Thomas II. Hopkins, assignee
Of Thompson Brothers, OF Catletts-
burg, KY, against the railroad, for
$4,000, due for work on constr uction
of roadbed from Bluefield to Kenova.
Later an order of attachment was is
sued, and Marshal o. d. Garden went
to kenova, where he levied on the
roadbed from Bluefeld TO Kenova,
together with all rolling stock found
on that portion of the line Friday
temporary receiver for the road was
appointed. The Norfolk & Western
people were much concerned a. the
legal action, which caused consider
able decline in the price Of its stock,
and its lawyers gathered at ParkerS-
burg on Monday before Judge Jack
sons court. 1t was shown that the
money was not paid because, on &C
count of the assignment of the con
tractors, there were so many claimants
for it. The money in controversy was
placed in bank. subject to order Of TIN e
court, and Judge Jackson vacate d
the order appointing the receiver.
This little furry has brought out
the fact that the y. & w. is in need
of ready money, and a circular has
been issued to shareholders, saying
that at the close of 1892 the company
had in its treasury or in use as col
lateral s., 93S, 900 of its one-hundred-
year mortgage bonds, and had out

Collector =. II. McCaull, we under.

ton district for temporary service to ap-
point Democrats who will stand chance
OF holding their jobs under his success.
sor, instead of appointing Republicans.
who would have TO step down and out
upon short notice. He made an appoint.
ment of this kind down in Halifax
county, the result Of which was some
what surprising and caused good deal
of amusement among the collectors sub.
ordinat e's. The appointee was we'll in.
dorsed by number of the leading Dem O.
Gratis of the county, and. it is said, by
Representative Edmunds himself, and
it was thought that his calling and
election were sure. But when Mr..
McCaull sent his papers on to Washing.
ton with the request that his commits
sion be forwarded to him without delay,
he received reply to the effect that it
was matter of record in the depart
ment that the man OF his choice was
unfit for tho position to which he had
appointed him, and that for that reason
the commission could not be sent. SO
he will have to look around for another
Democrat who win "pass muster"
Mr.. McCaull contends that the Joke Of
this miscarriage is not on him, but on
Representative Edmunds and the Demo.
