A BRAVE BRUTE,

Yesterday, shortly before noon, a
man was crossing the Seventeenth
street bridge over Wheeling creek,
and, noticing some object III the water,
ne leaned over the balustrade. Reach
ing out too Tar, he lost his balance
and tumbled over, falling into a deep
hole in the creek. He either coull
not swim, or was rendered powerless
by fright or the effect OF his concus-
sion head first with the water, and
tounder1ng about helplessly. A few
spectators were in sight, and all
rushed TO the bank fully expecting to
see the man drown. He sank twice.
and was about going down the third
time never to rise alive, when huge.
shaggy Newfoundling dog dashed
down the bank, leaped into the creek,
swan to the man, and grasping lin
by the coat held him up and pulled
him toward the shore until the mans
feet were on the solid ground, not let
ting go his hold until both were clear
out of the water. Then the shaggy
brute shook his coat dry, and walked
off wagging his tail, amid the plaudits
of hundred odd men and boys who
had been attracted by the shouts Of
the few people who witnessed tie
mans tumble. The man, as muth
dead as alive, waited until he had
recovered his senses entirely and
drained somewhat, and then walk ed
off. Neither the man nor the dog
was known to any of the eye-wit-
nesses.-Wheeling Intelligencer.

FUNERAL TROLLEY CARS.

The funeral trolley car has been
eral adoption promises to be not long
deferred. An improved car, made for
service in Cincinnati, is an elaborate
development of the original form. 1t
is solid black in color, with gold leaf
distributed throughout to relieve the
somberness of tone. 1t is about 20
feet long, with vestibule in front to
hold the casket. In gene al design and
size this vestibule much resembles the
box of a hearse, placed Crosswise of the
car. The opening is at the side of the
car, and the casket is shut off from
the view of those within the car In
the inner apartment there is room for
about twenty passengers. In tte case
OF a largely attended funeral, another
ordinary car could be added, which
would hold from thirty to fifty people,
and would greatly reduce The expense,
besides obv-ating a great deal of the
delay incident to the use of carriages.
To be alb e to hire such car instead
of haa Sc, and the number of mourn
ing carriages ordinarily necessary, is
AN immense boon to PEOPLE with linn
tied means. In Cincinnati, for in
stance, hearse COSTS So, aid five car
riages, which would be necessary to
carry twenty People, wo Id cos 81
each, or $20 max ng $28. This item
could not be REDUCED by at least one
half. While in this Country the street
car would probably not be looked upon
as meeting the requirements of IA
great public funeral in the City of
Mexico all The attendants at state OBJ
sequies travel 10 and from the GENE
terry in street cars, and while the flu
neral procession is in progress all
other traffic on the line is stopped.
