But John A. Coleman was not the man
to lay down under such temporary de-
feat. His native combativeness would
not permit HIM to submit TO an injustice
at the hands of even such powerful an
tsgonist as a big railway corporation, and
he no sooner reached home than he in
stituted n suit. Fighting railroad COM
pany in a court OF law is as rule a dis
couraCing undertaking, but Mr. Coleman
cared nothing for thar. Four successive
times the case was tried and each time
tho railroad company was beaten, and
alter having exhausted every resource
that highly feed lawyers could invent
was finally compelled TO settle. Mr.. Cole
mans victory gave wide spread pleasure,
and at the time he received hundreds OF
lstters from persons he mad never known

A FIFTH WARD TRAGEDY.

All the world was wrapped in slumber,
Deep, unconscious and profound;
Not zephyr stirred the branches,
Midnight's stiffness reigned around.
Said l, all? No. one beast slept not;
But with sly tread creeping slow,
The assassin plotting murder
Crouched to lay his victim low.
Four sweet, helpless, little darlings,
fond mothers hope and pride,
Dreaming of no danger nigh them,
Softly slumbered by her side.
Cautiously the demon neared them,
And with an unerring leap,
Pounced upon the first and fairest,
Rudely waking him from sleep.
By the throat he seized the infant,
Shaking him till life was done;
Needing not the mothers wailings.
Killed the others. too, each one.
Till the mornings welcome sunrise
Came the earth once more to cheer,
Waited that bereaved, lone mother
For some kind friend to draw near
Waited, till with mornings brightness
Came friend through that dread door:
Saw the mother sadly brooding
Ger four corpses on the floor,
In twinkling called she loudly;
Husband, come here quick as scat,
For our kittens have been murdered
By some horrid old tom cat"
Tho twas Sunday, they grave dug,
Planting them both safe and deep;
Now my narrative is ended,
Requiescat let them sleep.
