BULL-BAITING MATCH.
Farm Laborers Corral Couple OF
Animals and Set Them Fighting.

Thomas Turnbach, farmer, OF BLACK
Creek, was in to WI the other day, looSingfor
farm laborerS, and related the story OF
bul! fight which took place there yesterday
SAYS Hazelton, Pa, telegram to the New
York j ourDal.
1t seems that a book agent has been dis
tributiDg some Mexican literature in that
locality. and Peter Hottenste:a. aged
tweniy-six years, conceived the idea of
pulling off bull fight. and communicated
his idea to Milton OckseDreider, another
lahorer.
They concluded to experiment, and yes
tertIay while the HOtteDstcin family were
attending divine service at the village
church Peter put his idea into execution.
The large barn formed the amphitheater,
and about twenty-eight farm hands the
audience. An entrance fee of 20 cents
was charged.
A fine Alderney bull, Jet black in color,
weighingabout 200 0pounds, ,wastakenrrom
an ad Joining field and corralied in The barn
along with another bull somewhat lighter
in weight and color. and confined in the
barn, owing to its ugly disposition.
They arranged themselves on the hay
NOW, and when everything was in readi-
ness piece of red flannel was thrown
over the Alderney's horns.
This was the signal for the opening Of
hostiiities. The off-colored bovine threw
up its TAIL and, with dash, made for the
black. 1t met the latter squarely with its
horns and served to excite IL to fighting
pitch. The sight of blood, however, re-
duced the ecstacy of Peter, and he began
to perceive that the exhibition might result
in a serious loss to his father. The bulls
roared and stamped with fury that shook
the building. The enjoyment of the men
was turned 10 downright fear. and they
cried Justify for help. Fortunately for
them, however, the colored bull, In max
ing lunge at its adversary, misca lculated
the distance and crashed against the barn
door, carrying the frame away with it.
The animal in its fury to Eli the Alderney
was practically blinded, and dashed off
over the field.
The fighting thus stopped, and the men
got down and went out.
Both animals We're badly used up, and
one of them has since died. The barn was
damaged, and the promoters
of the bull fight are missing. They became
frightened over the result of the exhibi-
ton and ran away.

philnd eluhin Record

+ The shrewdness and sagacity of aged
members OF the rodent family have been
demonstrated in numberless Instances, but
an incident recently witnessed by Supt.
Tyler of the city hall is worthy of a re-
mark. The yard of house al Joining a
stable on Seventeenth street, abuve Fair
mount avenue, has been infested with rats
for long time, and Il few days a go a mem
ber of the family set large wiretrap in
the yard. Mr.. Tyler was seated In the rear
room of Grayson street house and watch

First one rat scudded across tho grass
and took an observation. In another min
ute dozen little rats came truoping along
with the evident iDtention-s'f sampling the
cheese. Just then a lean, gray old rat
with his tail chopped off, probably from
previous experience with traps. appeared
and chased all the little rats away. The old
fellow kept watch all the afternoon. ard
effectually prevented single rat, young
or old, from entering the trap.

standing is that the stores of all who
have become members will be closed at
o'clock every evening, except Mondays
and Saturdays. The merchants who
are at the head of the movement for
shorter hours are confident that it will
be success.
The members of the Butchers Asso-

their markets open on Sundays until 10

Strong Cheese in the Mail.

James j. Sweet, colored waiter OF
the Wyoming hotel, Scranton, some
time ago sent two letters to his wife at
Jacksonville, Florida. Each letter was
rolled up in a package containing sew
eral pieces of exceedingly strong cheese
These packages were sent as second
class, and as they contained writing the
sender disobeyed the postal regulations.
The cheese made its presence felt while
on the way to Jacksonville, and when
the postal clerks began to look for the
disturbing element among the mail they
found Sweets letters travelling along at
second class rates. Inspector Cowans,
of the postoffice department, was sent
after the economical negro, who secured
his release by paying $40 fine on each
letter in addition to the SO cents for
first class postage.

Professor Hicks, in his June number
of Word and Works, predicts that Satur-
day will be one of the hottest days of
1895. The professor is known as one of
the best weather prophets in the bust
ness, and his predictions, therefore, can
be relied upon. What better plan
could the people of town take to
avoid the hot and sweltering day that is
coming than to seek some pleasant out
oftown resort where they would be far
away from the sitting atmosphere of a
town? Glen Onoko is just such spot
There you can let old Sol pour forth his
fiercest rays, but he cannot harm you in
the hundreds of shady hooks and paths.
Amusements of every description will be
there, and DePierro's orchestra will en-
liven the Glen all day and evening with
sweet music.
Several hundred people have purchas-
ed tickets for the joint excursion to the
Glen from Freeland and Hazleton on
Saturday, and you will miss the greatest
outing trip of the season If you fail to
accompany the crowd. The train ar
rangements for returning home are sui

1t May BE Called Coke County.

From the Wilkesbarre Newsdealer.
1t would be an entirely fitting and
proper courtesy, now that Senator Quay
refuses to have the proposed new county
named after him, to call it after the late
Eckley b. Coke. 1t is true that Mr..
Coke did not favor the new county
scheme, but it is equally true that no
citizen and taxpayer of the new county
to be, deserves the courtesy and honor
of having it named after him in a
stronger degree than Mr.. Coke.
He was one of the foremost, progress
sive citizens of the lower end of the
county, and naming it after him would
be small honor for the great good he
accomplished for that section. 1t has
been suggested that this be done, but
we regret to note a hostility toward it
because he did not favor and support
the scheme.
This, we think, is unfair to the just
and generous man who is gone. Not
that he requires any such honor to per-
petuate his name, but because the
Neaosdedler thinks it would be eminently
proper to pay this slight courtesy to one
who was II king among his fellowmen.

Patented a Useful Article.

Among the patents granted last week
was one for an interesting and useful
article, a harness-detaching device.
With this little piece of simple mechan-
ism horse or team of horses can be de-
tached from the harness instantly and
allowed to go free. The usefulness of
this will be apparent when one remem-
bers the many accidents to people who
drive nervous or balky horse, to say
nothing of the hundreds of vehicles
which are wrecked annually by run
away animals. The device weighs but
a few pounds. 1t can be attached to
any sort of a harness made and does not
interfere with the driving in any man
ner, but II occasion requires the horse
or team to go free simple movement of
the reins releases the animal from every
connection with the vehicle
The patentee is William A. Ulrich, of
South Heberton, who became interested
in the subject through reading of the
numerous accidents resulting from horses
running away. He spent much time
considering the matter, and finally be-
gan to experiment. Five different kinds
were made before he succeeded in devils
ing the one that was patented. This
has withstood tests of every nature,
with both single and double harness,
and he has received two good offers to
dispose of his invention. He has not
yet decided whether to manufacture the
detacher himself or sell the right. A
patent has been applied for in Canada,
and until that is secured nothing will be
done in the way of placing the article
on the market.
Mr.. Ulrich will show his invention
and explain its workings and give it a
trial on any harness at his residence.

The suit of Mrs, M. A. Cunningham
against Freeand borough, which was
called up in court last Wednesday, was
ended on Thursday afternoon and given
to the jury. The case excited no small
amount of interest. 1t began in August,
1893. The viewers on the proposed ex-
tension of Pine street allowed Mrs. Cum
ningham 5000 for her lot alone, she to
remove the building, which was then
occupied by A. W. Washburn as a wheel
wright shop.
The viewers report was presented to
court and confirmed nisi, and then an
appeal was taken by Mrs. Cunningham.
The plaintiff claimed 81, 500 for ground
and building. A number of citizens tes-
tilted as to what they considered the
property was worth. The jury's verdict
was that Mrs. Cunningham be allowed
S645 and interest from August %, 1898.
The decision is victory for the bor-
ough, as by its provisions the town gets
the building as well as the ground.
The contention was raised that the bor-
ough had entered upon the premises and
converted it to its own use. The fact
was established that no work of any
kind was ever done about the property
by the borough.
1t is hoped that the council will, un-
less another appeal is taken by the
plaintiff, take Immediate action to have
the street opened.
