BRUlN ON A COWCATCiiEE.
After He Get or There Was L.vel!
lsc:r Hunt.


Lsc:s Hunt.
Not long ago as 4 railro2l train
was passing through W!":cT's cut,
near Olcut Run, Pa, the engineer
was astonished to see a black bear
coming around sharp curve. The
cut is so narrow that there is hardly
room for man to stand ASIDE and
allow an engine to LASS without
striking him.
Bruin was more amazed than tie
engineer. Instead OF stgiriIS aside
he reared on his launches and await
ed events. The locomotive WIS run
ring less than 20 miles an hour, for
the place is dangerous one. Upon
seeing the bear the engineer shut Off
steam and applied the blafes, but
tho distance was too short TO escape
an accident, The cowcatcher slid
under tie hind legs Of the butte and
lifted him off the ground.
Thinkin% all trouble was over, the
engineer put on steam once more,
while the fireman climbed out Of tie
cab window and stole along the
guard rail to fine out what had be-
come of the bear He was there,
claspinS the cowcatcher, the lower
part of his body just grazing tie
ground and his head almost reach
ing the bottom Of the headlight. He
seem ed to understand that the only
thing he could do was to hold fast,
and he did so during the lun to the
next station, ten miles distant. 1he
station agent was start:ing at the
depot door as the train approached.
The sight of fell grown bear on
the cowcatcher fairly took away his
breath.
As socn as the engine came to
stahdstill hruin slipped from his
perch and made 4 break for free
dom. THIS took him straight toward
tie agent, who dashed through the
door, slammed it shut, lealed
through the rear door and went up
the street at a furious rate, calling
out: "Bearl Bear! Somebody get
a gum
Soon the town was in turmoil, a
yelling crowd following in hot rur-
suit OF the bear, some of the boys
peiting him with stones. Suddenly
big shepherd dog bounced out of
yard and dashed after the bear.
Rruin paused but n.i!.Tte or two,
but when he passed on the rash dog
had no future interest III the pro
cecdings.
At the street c. 2er lawyer car
rying a double barreled gun came
face to face with tEe bear, but the
latter turned down tho nearest alley.
The crowd increased and encirclCd
the frightened animal making cs-
cape imrossi..e. finding himself at
bay, bruin backed up against the
barn, rearing on his haELches. The
lawyer sent two Lullets INTO the
hear, whereuron the wounded AM
nal charged the crowd. One urchin
fell, was tramrled upon and lad
leg broken. The lawyer sli; led an
other bullet into his gun and sent
the shot through bruins head and
finished him.
BY this time the engineer and fire
maa recalled the fact that a train
load of passengers were waiting at
the station and hurried back end re-

NORMAN oRME's CONDITION.
Dr. Duf1eld Wired That He Is Imp foy
 ing


 Dr. Wylie yesterday received a lsitte, and a telegram from Dr. Duffield al Philadelphia, with reference to the case of Norman Orme. The telegram dated yesterday is reassuring Il says: ''Orme is improving; ball re- moved: drainage good; prognosis bet ter" The letter written last week was rather discouragfng. It said that o,withstanding the opinion Of the College hospital authorities at Brook lyn that the wounded man would re- covar, the writer hardly thought so, and neither did the patient He said that he did not dread death, but only the preceding suffering. Before Dr. Duffield went away he promised the wounded man that he would return the next Sunday or sooner, if sent for. After having visited MT. Orme, Dr. Dufield went to the hospital at Fort Wadsworth on Governors Island. Ths trip involved a great deal of walking and riding, and finally the doctor brought up against a sentry who would permit him to go no further. Finally the sentry called a corporal and the corporal ccndescended to carry the doctors card to the hospital with a request to be admitted. The hospital
 authorities refused. At this point in the letter the doctor interjected an
 opinion in red ink regarding the char acter of the Wadsworth surgeons. He referred to the same subject again

and again in the course of his letter, sometimes apparently irrevelantly The trip cost him day and $15, all of which is charged up in his mind tt those inhospitable Wadsworth sur gecns and took it out in writing what he thcnght about them. He managed to find out, though, that Major Brodie and Captain McClintock were getting along nicely.
 Dr. Duffield had high opinion of the College hospital surgeons and management. He found that though Norman Orme was suffering great pain, morphine had been withdrawn from him. The doctor secured the promise of the resident surgeon 70 admin ster it again whenever the pain became in tense.

DODGiNG IT'S VIRGINIA DEBT
RECORD


mind that the legislature OF 1895 voted
unanimously not to recognize in any way

has never declared for the recognition, nor
has the party ever favored any treatment
of the question on any basis save that
originally warranted and which Virginia
nlissioners In the legislature referred
TO the only vote cast fayorlng taxing up
the consideration of the debt question
was cast by a democratic state senator
--Intellgencer.
When the Intelligencer states that
question in the Legislature of 1895 it
states an unadulterated falseROOd. On
the contrary the Edmiston resolution
declining to treat with the Virginia
commission on the subject received
the support of every Democrat In the
House-and for that matter every Re-
publican, also, for the rank and file of
both parties are equally opposed totthe
debt scheme-but was BURIED IN

The history of this Edmiston resolu-

it had passed, instead of being given

this member disappeared with it in his

report, that he took it with him to his
home in Ohio county, afterwards ex-
planning that he had the right to SO

not been listed by the assessors. for
taxation, is, to say the least, a strange
situation and indicates in no uncer-

been in their duties. Here is. this COM

that thousands upon thousands of dol
lars in the shape of personal property
have been escaping taxation for years.
And how have they been informed I?

channels, i. e.: by the assessor. whose
