THE BIGGEST KNOWN HoG.-There

THE BIGGEST KNOWN HoG.-There
is Il hog on exhibition at Kaufman,
Tex, according to the National Pro-
ciSioner, which is, perhaps, the largest
living hog in the known world. 1t will
be years old this month, and was
raised in Robertson county, Tex, by a
Mr.. Briggs. When he sold the hog,
six months ago, it weighed 1880 pounds.
The hog is s feet inches long, 4 feet
| iuch high, measures feet around the
neck, s feet around the body and %
inches around the forearm.
His feet are as large as those of a
common OK, and the leg-bone larger
than that of the largest steers. He is
Poland China and Red Jersey. He eats
corn like an OK, takes the whole ear in
his mouth at once and eats the cob as
well as the corn, eating from 40 to 81
ears of corn at time. There seems to
be no surplus flesh on him, and the
physicians who have examined the hog
say he can easily be made 10 reach
2200 pounds.
The present owner paid $3.50 for the
hog aud has been offered $500 for
him. He has a fire policy on the
animal for $1,000. No other hog, it is
said, ever reached such tremendous
proportions.

EXCITING EXPERIENCE WITH

EXCITING EXPERIENCE WITH A
BEAR.-J. M. Steele, Alex. Steele and
w. NJ. Scaggs had quite an exciting
experience in the little town of Victor,
Fayette county, W. Va, with bear
on Sunday. Scraggs heard a hog be-
longing to him squealing vigorously in
thicket near his house, and, thinking
dog was worrying it, went to the res
cue. Instead of q dog. he found the
hog, fine two hundred-pound fellow,
in the clutches of big black bear,
which was making rapid headway in
depatching it. scraggs had no weapon,
and threw rock at the bear. The
bear then dropped his hold on the hog,
and started for Scraggs. Scraggs made
run for it through the brush, and
skinned himself up considerably in his
efforts to get away. At this juncture
James Steele happened to arrive, and,
having revolver, took shot at the
running bear, but evidently missed
him, or, at least, did no serious harm,
for the bear turned upon him and soon
put him to fight. Both Steele and
Scraggs ran to Scraggs' house and lock-
ed the bear out. Alex. Steele, hearing
the commotion, got his gun and came
upon the scene. His first shot failed to
bring down the bear, but it evidently
scared him, for he took to the noun.
tains. Several other shots were fired
at him, but he finally escaped. A
bear hunt will be organized this week,
and the farmers in that section are
looking forward to great sport, for this
is the first bear seen in that section for
wears,

THE RAILROADS.

The eighth statistical report of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, pre-
pared by its statistician for the year
ended June so, 1895, has just been SUBJ
mitted.
In the introduction of the report the
statistician calls attention to three spe.
cial features l. The showing of CON-
parative figures where possible for the
five previous years. The compilation
of operating expenses for two years,
one summary being based on the re-
vised classification of operating ex-
penses, taking effect July /, 1894, the
other on the classification followed
from 1887 to that date. 5. The compi.
ation of table showing revenue and
density of traffic for roads whose gross
revenue exceeds S3,000,000.
Reference is made to the effect OF
the continued business depression and
the large number of receiverships.
On June 80, 1895, 169 roads operating
81 ,S55 miles were reported in the hands
of receivers, showing net decrease of
% roads and 1858 miles of line. The
railway capital represented by these
roads was nearly S2,500,0OO. 900, or
about % 2 per cent. of the total railway
capital in the United States.
The total railway mileage in the
United States on June 80, 1895, was
$50, ,657 miles, an increase for the year
of l ,94S miles, or LOG per cent, or the
smallest during any preceding year, for
which reports have been made to the
commission. The aggregate length of
all tracks in the United States on June
80. 1895, was 236, 1874 miles.
The number of railway corporations
on June so, 1895, was 1865, of which
lob maintained operating accounts,
and 500 financial accounts. During the
year ii roads were abandoned, 8 merg-
ed, 81 reorganized, and 2S consolidated.
The classification of railways on the
basis of operated mileage shows that AZ
companies, each operating more than
900 miles, operate 100,714 miles OF
line, or 55.07 per cent. OF the total rail
way mileage, and that 133 roads, or
y 05 per cent. OF operating companies,
each with a mileage exceeding 25O
miles, operate 145, ,155 miles, or 1924
per cent. of the total mileage in opera
tion.
The gross earnings for the year ended
June 80, 1895, were 1,075, 81 ,462, an
increase of 50 ,009. 665 for the year. Pas
