A Horse With @ Memory

Eleven years ago a horse was pur- chased for the fire engine Portland No 2, on Munjoy Hill This horse was called "Old Tom," and it helped draw the en- zine for six years and was then dis posed of. I have been drawing an ash cart of late years. and the other day went by the engine house. Engineer Loring, who knew the horse well. since they came to the engine house at the same time and were there together for six years, fell into conversation with the driver. and told him he hadn't doubt that If the old horse was put in his old stall and the gong was sounded he would rush for his place in front of the engine just as he used 10 do. The driver doubted this, and they agreed to try it. The old horse. now 15 years old, was put in his old stall, where he hadn't been for five years. At the first sound of the gong he started for his old place under the harness in front of the engine. He tried to go quickly. hut made a sorry exhibition of nimbleness compared to his former habit. This seems to he pretty good evidence of a horses memory.--Portland Press.

HUNTING LIONS.
Exciting Pleasures Attended With Gravl
 Danger.

Exciting Pleasures Attended With Grave
 Danger.
 Nineteenth Century,
 Some of those evenings in the jungle are among the pleasantest recollectious. What greater pleasure than coming in from a successful hunt to find ones companion has had his share of sport, and over the post-prandial coffee to mu- tually recite ones experiences of the day? The darkness succeeding the fall of day is just giving way to the bright light of the rising moon, whose rapidly widening silver edge we see through the tops of the mimosa jungle. The circle Of fire in the zareba throws a ruddy glow on the picturesque figures of the men grouped about them at their meal or preparing for rest. In the far distance we hear the howl of the hyena or the grun bark of the questing lion. His majesty may perhaps be inclined to visit us later in the evening; very we'll, we will give him a royal reception. "Achmed, tell Adam to put the ten-bore and half a dozen cartridges in my bedi" Eight oclock-time to turn in. Where Is my revolver? Ah here it is. I will put it under my pillow as usual for fear of &C., cidents." Good nightr' '.Nightt" and we are soon asleep to brief lullaby from the sentry, who never ceases singing throughout his watch: asleep, but not a heavy slumber; any unusual noise and we shall both be wide awake, having wakened up suddenly without move ment, unless it be that of a hand to a weapon; wide awake, to drop off again the moment we are satisfied that all is we'll.

As the night advances we are glad to pull the waterproof sheets over us sometimes right over our heads, to keep off the heavy dew. which otherwise would soak up to the skin. Long before daylight Jana would be called by the sentry (whose clock was a star). and in his turn go and wake V with the remark: T think, sir, it is 3:3O.''

The Sian1ese Tv;-s.

A few mile.-fT0fn Mount Airy, N. C., Es inc homes of the famous Siamese twins, Eng and Chang. who were born in Siam of Chinese parents in 1911. These twins travelled all over the world Tn charge of their manager MT. Bunker, whose name they finally assumed. They came at last into Surry county slgnt- seeing; they declared that 1t was the grandest country they had ever seen, and having already made decent for tune they decided to buy property ana settle permanently in Surry.
 % They met and fell in love with Miss Adelaide Yates of Wilkes, an adjoining county. Miss Yates was in an aWful predicament, beloved by both, but neith- CT could tell of his affection without the other hearing it. Finally the matter was settled by Miss Sallie Yates, sister of Miss Adelaide, consenting to become the bride of one and Miss Adelaide the oth- er The parents of the Misses Yates strenuously objected to the double mar riage, but the young ladies were not to be deterred so they eloped, met their lovers on the bank of little stream on the roadside near their home, and. a preacher being present they were quiet ly married.
 The two couples settled within two miles of Mount Airy and for several years lived together. Owing to domestic quarrels, however, two homes were found necessary, and each built comfortable home They lived alternate weeks at each others homes. and each raised a large family of children, some of whom still live and are among the most pros porous and highly respected people in Surry county.
 They were probably the most wonder full of all human phenomena. They lived to an advanced age and were clever. law abiding men. It is said they would some times have their little quarrels and one would threaten to kick the other over the fence. In 1874 Eng, who had been in fail- ing health, died very suddenly. Indeed, on awaking one morning his brother Chang found that Eng had died during the night. Physicians were summoned, but before they arrived Chang had died. and they were buried as they had lived, side by Side.-lx.

Callahan spit blood, and friend got
him some whiskey. The latter admitted
to the police that he knew Callahan
was going to jump, and that he jumped
as the result of wager for $l,7OO, The
police then arrested the friend as an ac-
complete.
An ambulance was called from the
Hudson street hospital, and DR., Sanger,
who was in charge, decided that the
man was suffering from severe inter-
nal injuries, Callahan is said at the
hospital to have a chance of recovery.
There were two other men on the
Dover street pier when Callahan was
brought ashore, but they were not ar
rested by the policemen, as there was
no evidence that they were accomplices.
They are said by MeGorry, the man
who was arrested as an accomplish,
to have been reporters.
McGorry said, when seen after his
arrest, that he was engaged in the
liquor business with his pAother Felix
at Third avenue and Thirty-first street,
and that Callahan was employed in the
place as bartender.

And New England Has Not Yet Ceased to
Grow.
The United States is a growing coun-
try and New England has not stopped
growing, either, although it Is justly re-
garded as an old settled part of this
great and glorious republic, That New
England and other parts Of the east
are still growing in business, wealth and
population is recalled by the following
from Mondays Hartford Times:
Amy person who travels in New Eng
land at the present time must be i'm
pressed With the number of new build
ings, especially factory buildings, which
are going up everywhere. There is a ver-
liable building boom in many localities,
and in Massachusetts such places as
Worcester, Fitchburg, Gardner and
North Adams, which have rapidly in
creased in population and business dur
ing the past fifteen years, are now
growing at more rapid rate than at
any previous time.
But 1t will be found that the building
boom Is not confined to the New Eng
land states. The New York Herald to-
day publishes figures to show that dur
ing the three months ending June 80
of this year plans and specifications
We're filed for LASS buildings In New
York city, at an estimated cost of $33,
000,000 which is an increase of 694 in
the number and of more than $14000,00
in, the estimated cost over the build
ings undertaken during the corresponds
ing period last year. The figures for
the first half of this year, as compared
with those for the first six months OF
1894, show an Increased building activity
to the extent of more than $50, 100000 in
estimated cost.
when there is large amount of
building it is certain that skilled work.
men are fully employed and that times
are really prosperous. 1t is probable
that statistics in many other cities
would show the same increase in this
respect as that noticed in New York
city. 1t is safe to say that the new
structures erected in this country dur
ing 1895 will far exceed in value the con-
structions of any previous year"

Whitneyville Painter Attempts Suicide o
His Wife's Grave.


His Wife's Grave.
Max Spiegel, painter, forty years
old, of Armory street, Whitneyville,
attempted suicide on his wife's grave in
the Whitneyville cemetery about mid
night Monday night.
The loss of his wife, who died about
six months ago, preyed on his mind.
and his friends had noticed of late
that he was respondent. He frequently
visited his wife's grave and his family
became alarmed.
Late Monday night after everybody
in his home had gone to bed he left
the house. One of his children heard
him, and becoming alarmed, called a
neighbor, who went to the cemetery,
where he found Spiegel lying on his
wife's grave with Broken package of
arsenic beside him.
A horse and wagon was procured and
Spiegel was brought to the general hos
pital in this city, where the use of a
stomach pump saved his life.
Spiegel was discharged from the hos
pital at his request. He expressed re-
greet that he had attempted to take his
life
