talking about the one-horned black rhi-

him she gave him more strength accord

earth. She gave him an abundance of

hawk, a sense Of hearing as keen as

You may add to all that that the rhi-
noceros is always mad. The flercest Of
other beasts have their good-natured
on his shoulder. Nothing is too big or
too small for him to charge. He'll turn
on steam and go thrashing through the
bushes after a tacl1al at one time, and
an hour later will charge into a herd Of
elephants or scatter a family of lions.

Train No. 46 Meets With a Mishap
Near ManningtOn-B Baggage Car hits
a HOuse-ClOse Escape.
WARRINGTON, w. Va, August 2s
Passenger train No. as, which left
Wheeling at 1850 this morning, met
with serious accident abouta quar-
ter of mile west of this place. The
train In charge Of Conductor Carney
and Engineer Charles Riley, of Wheel
ing, was running at moderate rate
of speed when the engine jumped the
track. 1t is thought the accident was
due to defective rail. At any rate
the engine slid along the track for
some distance. The baggage car
which immediately followed the en-
CINE broke loose from the remainder
of the train and toppled over against
a dwelling house owned by man of
the name OF Phillips. The Phillipses
were at dinner when the car bumped
against the house. The shock caused
Car, house and all to go over an en-
bankment. The escape of the occu-
pants was almost miraculous. Con-
sisting of the father, mother and sew
eral children the family were around
the dinner table when the unusual oc-
currence disturbed them. All escap-
ed any serious injury excepting Mrs.
Phillips, herself, who was badly hurt
on the arm.
The first passenger coach also left
the track but it did not upset and
this probably prevented serious injury
to the passengers and probably loss of
life. Engineer Riley and his fireman
stuck manfully to their post and not
until they had accomplished all that
was possible to avoid any serious re-
suits of the wreck did they seek to
save themselves. The wreck, while
serious one, might have been much
worse.

The bones of a large reptile recent.

They are 20 in number 10 of these

The vertebrate are from 80 to 80 inches
in circumference. The femur or thigh
bone is over yard in circumference.
Its tracks occupied not less than a
square yard.
Brontosaurus was about Is feet
high 60 feet long and weighed about
20 tons.
But one complete skeleton of this
extinct monster has ever been found
by naturalists and it was not COM
pleted until 1896. 1t has only been
ten years since the discovery of the
bones of such an animal and il has
been a source of much study for scien-
tific men. Prof. Brown found this
on his recent trip to the far West with
the party of scientists who went at
the invitation OF the Union Pacific
Railroad to investigate the Laramie
beds in Wyoming. The find is very
valuable one and it would be well
worth the trouble to have Prof Brown
spend summer in attempting to ind
more of the skeleton.
a party from the Carnegie museum
in Pittsburg has been there for sever
al months and parties of men from
Universities elsewhere have been
there all summer.

took Winchester rifle and started in
search of bear which he had seen In
the nearby mountain. Not returning
at the time he was looked for, party
went in search of him, when about
five miles from that place they found
the rifle, and upon examining the sit.
uation closely they found signs of an
encounter, which they followed fol
about half mile down the mountain,
where they found Lutz sitting upon a
log with one leg broken and some 9TH
er scars upon his body. He stated
that the bear was gone when he re-
turned to the spot of his first enceun-
ter, but as he knew where some bear
frequented about two years before, be
followed on in that direction until he
came in sight of the old bear and two
cubs. He fired at the old one, but
missed her and wounded one of the
cubs.
He commenced rapid firing at the
old one but in his excitement failed to
get fatal shot as she came at him.
He started to run, but she was too
near him and he attempted to fight
her with his gun, but in the struggle
lost his gun and fought on down the
mountain, where he fell unconscious
He does not know just how long he re-
NAMED there, but when found was
feeling some better. He was carried
to Hartman to his home, where he is
fast recovering, and was married on
his bedside by Rev. Shultz, of the
M. e. Church, to Miss Dell Nelson,
which seems to settle all difficulties
and they appear happy couple.
