TlCKliSh SITUATION.
How n Lake Eric and Western Engineer
saved His Train.

LIMA, o., Dec. 21.-Passenger Engineer
Nate Robinson Of the Lake Erie and
Western was bringing n passenger train
from Upton to Lima and was running at
n rate OF fifty miles an hour when the
train rounded u sharp curve near DeSoto.
Robinson saw horse on the track a
short distance ahead. The animal had
fallen into long. high trestle and
nothing but its body remained above the
ties. The engine was within 100 feet of
the horse when the engineer discovered it.
Knowing 1t was useless to attempt to
stop he pulled the throttle and braced
himself for crash. The engine lungcd
forward. There was sudden shock; the
engine rolled for an instant like a storm
driven ship. Then the engine rightcd
itself and ran along rs smoothly as II
nothing had occurred. The animal had
been ground to pieces and Its remains
scattered along the track.

Themistocles, the hero of Salamis,
was sent into Punishment by the prac-
tice of ostraeism. This was a purely
Athenian device to prevent any citizen
secoming too great. When any man &C.
quired such prominence as to be unsafe
to the state, number of citizens de-
manded vote, which was taken by
writing on shells the name of the too
prominent citizen. If majority voted
against him, he was sent into exile, not
because he had done anything, but for
fear he might do something. He staid
away from five to ten years, then re-
turned and resumed his standing as a
citizen without loss Of property or rep
utation Themistocles was ostracized
and went into exile. where he was soon
accused of reasonable correspondence
with the Persians. He was about to b.
arrested. but fed to Persia He gained
great influence at the Persian court and
projected an invasion of Greece, but
died, it is supposed by poison, before
his plans could be realized. Exchange.

HORSE A LA YANKO
Done Up. at a Dinner in the
American Style.
QUEER BANQUET AT NEWARK, N. ].

A Roadster of the Good Old Age Of &c
Years seSssd Upas soup. Roast and Boil
by u Veterinary surgeOn-Fifty Persons
sit Down at the Board and Enjoy the
New Food. Which IL Approved.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2l.-A banquet Of
horse flesh was given by Veterinary Sur
geon James d. Hopkins Of Newark. The
kitchen was given over to the chef and his
assistants, the dining room and parlors
20 the NESTS, the ladies 10 the doctors
family having been banished to the up-
per regions. Three walters kept up
constant communication between the
table and the kitchen and the doctor kept
his place at the head & the table through
out the evening. greeting each new conner
and urging him to eat, or repeating the
history of the horse tn were eating and
telling how wholesome horscncsh Is and
how he expected IL to take its place in
the markets Of the country in short
time To be sold on its merits. The most
practicable argument for the introduction
of horse meat, however, was The manner
in which IL was served up on this occa-
sion, and IL seemed certain that the rich
rs we'll rs the poor would be confirmed Ola
Its merits II they could get 1t cooked As
Dr. Hopkins had IL prepared.
Horsctail Soup.
There was horsctail soup, soup richly
favored and nourishing; boiled saddle Of
horse, with horse radish sauce, and boiled
tcndcrloin OF horse. while the piece de re-
sistancc was rib roast There was q
pot roast and plenty Of brOiled steaks,
Dreaded outlets, with all imaginable
soups and rclishcs, and variety Of vege-
tables. There was great deal Of jocular
conversation Mt the table and all sorts Of
horse talk. but not the slightest indica-
ton Of squcamishncss. Everybody went
there with the intention of eating what
the doctor had prepared, and the first
taste Of the palatablc soup encouraged all
to 20 on with the courses. Tho verdict
was generally expressed by comparisons
with bccf-soinc said the meat reminded
them of elk and vcnison. All seemed to
agree that 1t was better than the average
beef In flavor and texture. The tcrderlion
was especially good, while the pot roast
and rib ruast were not in any way lacking
In tenderness and flavor.
Horse Was 80 Years Old.
DIR. Hopkins explained how he got the
horse, what inspired him to get up the
banquet. and did not disguise the fact
that the animal was old. 1t had been In
the possession Of one man for twenty
years and was ut least six years old when
he bought 1t. The owner did not want tC
sell the horse into life of hardship and
asked the doctor to kill it. The doctor
then decided TO give horseflesh banquet
and he had the animal killed, blcd and cut
up by IA butcher. The meat was hung il
refrigerator for two weeks before it wa.
served. The soup was made of the tai
and shins, and the choice parts wers
cooked in the various ways by one of thu
leading cooks Of the city. Then at leas
100 invitations were issued and fully one
half of those who were invited ATTENDED
the banquet.

STEWART FINISHES HIS ARGUMENT
California Collects Taxes ON Property II
Now Claims 1t Could Not Grant.

California Collects Taxes ON Property It
Now Claims 1t Could Not Grant.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Stewart
has concluded his argument in the SUI
preme court in the Oakland water front
case. He set forth the changes wrought
on the Oakland side of San Francisco bay
by the location there Of the railway
terminus, making that city great COM
mercial center. He said that this had
cost the railway company vast sums of
money and that but for these outlays the
government would have never undertaken
the constructions of harbor.
The grant was no portion of an existing
harbor, but of lands which could be re-
claimed by filling in, and other submerged
lands where the water could only be made
navigablc by excavation. For more than
generation the state has collected taxes
on the granted property it now claims
never to have had the power to grant.
Stewart discussed the opinion of the SUI
preme court in the Chicago lake front
case, all Of which he fully sustained. He
asserted that If the principles laid down
In that case were adhered to in the present
one the grant which he was defending
must be held valid.

Irwin Arrested for Contempt.

PITTsBUHG, Dec. 2i.-George NJ. Irwin
the discretionary pool operator, was ar
rested for contempt of court in refusing
to turn over to the receiver his books
and accounts. This arrest, however, has
no direct bearing on the case against him
on the charge of defrauding his depositors.
His reason for not putting his books in
the hands of the receiver was that the de-
cision Of the common pleas judge had
been appealed to the supreme court and
that his appeal acted as q stay on proceed

That Ceiling Must Come Down.

ALBANY, Dec. 21.-The papier machs
ceiling in the assembly chamber must be
replaced soon or some day it will bury the
new Republican legislature. An exam
nation showed that the ceiling is rotten
and full Of holes. Daylight shines
through it and holes have been made by
sagging. Particles have already begun to
drop. This ceiling was the subject Of the
notorious ceiling scandal. Papier mache
was substituted for quartered oak.

THE BEAR AND THE BRoNcHO.
Tom Buckley Lassoed Bruin and Then

Tom Buckley Lassoed Bruin and Then
Bottled From the Fight.
Tom Buckley was working on the
spring roundup in the employ Of one
of the large cattle outfits in southern
Montana. While riding through clump
Of bushes one day hunting cattle full
grown silver tip bear suddenly arose
and confronted him. The only weapon
at hand was his lariat, and with vi
sions of juicy bear steak for the boys at
supper around the mess wagon that
night and fine rug for the pretty
schoolmarm he quickly loosened his
rope and threw it. A few turns over the
saddle horn, at the same time squirting
his horse, and the shock came. It was
very severe, for unluckily the BEARS
fore leg as we'll as his head was through
the loop of the rope. Tom was about to
drop the rope like hot cake when the
horse suddenly put his head down and
started bucking in true broncho style.
Thomas didn't last long. He suffered
when he struck the ground, but he did
not linger in the vicinity to ascertain
the extent of his injuries. He started
for the top of :, butte close at hand, and
although an Indifferent sprinter he man
| aged to make very fair time. ~
Looking back from his position of
comparative safety, he could see that
both animals had become entangled in
the rope and were having it out in great
style, making frantic efforts to free
themselves. The rope finally parted, and
| away they went in opposite directions,
or as he expressed it, "They quit the
country. hitting only the high spots. -
