DROPS IT.
The Defense OF
Y arlington
TOO MUCH FOR WOOD
Calvin Foster Heirs AlIege
Unsound Mind.

Gen Chales w. Wood of this city,
who has acted in The interests Of Perry
Warrington in this state, as senior
counsel, with Charles B. Perry, will not
further represent Yarringtons interests
in New York. Although there has not
been an actual disappearance from the
case by Gen Wood he has had enough
of the matter, and Warrington will have
to secure New York counsel to defend
him when the case against him comes
up for trial on the indictment found by
the complaint of Mr.. Stevens. who al
Ieges embezzlement on the part of Mr.
warrington
Since the troubles Of Warrington be-
gan Gen. Wood, with Mr.. Perry, has
worked indefatigably in the interests of
his client, and when the jury dis
agreed upon the trial Of the case in
the Worcester county criminal court
the outcome Of the trial, which was not
unfavorable to Warrington, was due to
the able defense of Gen Wood. More
recently, when Warrington was ar
rested at the instigation of the New
York authorities, Gen. Wood has re

but when the supreme court declined
to grant the WRIT Of habeaS corpus,
Gen. Woods active connection ceased.
Gen. Wood has been put to personal
sacrifice and great expenditure in the
case. and with the actual trial Of the
matter in New York city, Warrington
will retain counsel in New York.
Since the last adventure Warrington has
been hard pressed financially and his
friends have been endeavoring to raise
the money for a strong defense before
the New York courts. There has been
strong feeling in his favor. and, as a
very strong and almost impregnable
defense for Warrington has been out
lined. his friends are confident of an
acquitta1. Every courtesy viii be ex-

dent Of Merrick street, and for p years
a resident Of Worcester, has consented
to allow the use Of his name as a can

the coming year believing that his
business has given him peculiar and es-
sential qualifications for the place. Mr..
Bosher has at last consented to be con-
sidered a candidate.

A LIVELY BLAZE.
Firemen Find a Sharp Battle on Ham

HlOHu oueets
There was lively blaze in the foun-
dry of Arnold & Pierce, on Hammond
street about II o'clock last night. About
half of the roof and one end of the
building were burned out An alarm
was turned in from box 241 at Ii O9'
o'clock, and when the firemen arrived
on the scene, flames We're breaking
through the roof
Most of the patterns are kept in an
other building, which will obvate con-
siderable difficulty in replacing mod
els that would otherwise have been
spoilt. The fire started about the stack
and is thought to have been caused by
a spark from the furnace that smoul-
dered, unnoticed by the workmen, and
finally broke out in fame.

IN THE INDIANA WOODS
SMALL MAMMALS YET REMAINING IN
THE FORESTS OF THE STATE.
Squirrels, Raccoons, Opossums, Mice
Large Animals Once Ranged.
mos wv. Rntler. In Manure and Art.

Amos w. Butler, in Nature and Art.
Our forests are fast disappearing. With
the passing away of the forests are vanish
ing many of the plants that grew beneath
their shades and many of the animals that
lived within their depths.
The stories of the old pioneer who tells of
the buffaloes, elk, deer, panthers, wildcats
and wolves that were hunted when he was
young fall usually upon unappreciative
oars. They seem to US to be stories out of
the past, as far back as the days OF Ponce
de Leon or Miles Standish. Few stop to
consider that all these animals have passed
from us within the last fifty to ninety
years; that there are yet living people who
have seen them all in their wild state.
The mammals found in the woodlands to-
day were considered small and insignificant
in the olden times. They are of value to
us. They appeal to our love of nature,
They teach US something. We learn to
open our eyes and ears and mouth and
drink what is to be seen and read. There
is a geography of animals. The limits OF
their places on this earth are marked as are
the boundaries Of our States or of our river
systems. Within Ohio, Indiana and Michi-
gan, and also in other States the ranges of
different kinds of mammals meet. There
fore there are found in one part of State
kinds that are not found in another.
In the forest there are different levels Of
society. Among the tree tops live animals
that are different from those that dwell
upon the ground. Beneath the leaves and
below the surface of the soil are mammals
that differ from those found under the bark
of tree trunks or In cavities in snags.
One fall. a few years ago, as I walked
through a woods, a favorite spot of mine,

MULES GET A VACATION.
LOng-Eared Veterans Grow FrislSy
Over Sunshine and Grass.
New Lexington Tribune.

New Lexington Tribune
The superintendent of the Sweet Springs
mine undertook a thorough renovation of
the mine the day after the miners went out
on the strike, and the first step preparatory
to a general cleaning up was TO remove the
mules from the underground stables and put
them out on pasture.
Some of them had not been out of the
mine for months, number had been below
the surface for two or three years and one
had not seen the sunshine for seven years
as long as Jacob served for Leah.
They were led from the mine, twenty
seven patient creatures. and turned loose in
Morrison's pasture field. They stood about
close together knee deep IN lnsn, green
heads and eyes half closed, as though dazed
by their sudden change of circumstances.

and shouted, the babies crowed, and one
or two women cried a little, for there were
sores, and lameness and weakness in plenty.

and thirst that might be satisfied by the
running stream and the grass.

One morning at Chillicothe, o., where he
was then pastor, he took the gun into his
garden to drive off the birds that were de-
stroying his fruits. His wife heard two gun
shots, and going to the garden found her
husband dead, with the side of his face
blown off. Some foolish people talked of
suicide, but there was not the slightest
ground for such thought. The story Of
his beautiful life is told in two volumes Of
memoirs written by his sister Catherine.
After the exodus of the Beecher family
the religious interests of the community
visibly declined. The intellectual leaven
continued to work, however. and its infiu-
ence was pervasive and permanent. AS
ostler at our Presbyterian tavern and as
janitor of the church, 1 came in contact
with many sorts of Presbyterian clergy
men. Among the best that l now remem-
Der were Thornton A. Mills, Professors
Allen and Evans, of Lane Seminary. Dr.
Samuel A. Esher, and that good man whom
everybody loved, Henry Little. But there
were others. The preaching of the Beechers
and the persons L have just named had
keyed up the critical faculties of the COM
munity to a high pitch, and when a half
baked theologian from the seminary came
out on Sunday TO try his pin-feathered
wings in short flights, the crowd of law
yers, doctors and county officers who as
sembled under the sycamore tree in front
of the courthouse riddled his sermon with
out mercy. 1 got my pay as ostler by being
permitted to sit at the family fire in the
evening and hear father and the preacher
have a big talk; my salary as janitor was
more substantial, as 1 got so cents a month
for sweeping the church, building the fires
and ringing the bell.
