Intended to Cut or Her Hand.

The general impression was that an
attempt had been made TO murder the
girl. and had it not been for the po-
bceman into whose hands Goodman
fell he would have Jared badly. The
officer had to fight off the pursuers,
and at the same time prevent his pris-
oner from stabbing him with the knife
which had been used on Miss Mat
thews' hand. With much difficulty
Goodman was taken to the station
house. where he said he intended to
cut off the girls hand for the rings

FORCED TO "SCAB"
Is the Claim of Twenty-Five Men
Involved in Recent
Coal Strike.
NOW SEEK 100000 DAMAGES EACH
Charging That They Were ForcibIy
Taken to Pennsylvania
to Work.

New York, Jan. 2.-Suits have been
brought by twenty-five residents of
this city, who claim that during the
recent coal strike they were decoyed
to the mines in Pennsylvania by agents
of the Erie railroad and of the Penn
sylvania Coal company. Damages for
$4,000 each. amounting TO $1,I00.00O
in all, are sued for. and the attorney
for the plaintiffs has consulted with
an assistant district attorney about
bring the matter before the grand jury
TO be sworn in next Monday.
The juaintiffs claim that under pre-
fenseof doing work for the railroad and
coal company they We're decoyed to
HobOken. where they were locked in
car and carried against their will to
the coal regions in Pennsylvania and
compelled to act as strike breakers
under threats of ''being turned over to
the fury of the miners" The men say
they finally succeeded in making their
way back to the city, but declare that
on their way home they had narrow esq
capes from being mobbed.
The Company's Position
All officer of the Eric road said that
no complaint had been served as yet
on the company. He added that the
company was without information as
to the cause of action; that he was
confident that the Erie company and
its constituent company. the Pennsyl-
vania Coal company. had done nothing
unlawful and that he had no doubt
the companies would be able to sue
cessfully defend any suits that might
be brought against them. The COM
pany makes misrepresentation said
this officer, but is always extremely
careful to explain to the men the con-
ditions and circumstances under which
they are employed.

Another use Of the graphophone is

going and dictates his letter into it.
Then the Typewriter takes the record,
puts il in another machine, places the

may wish
The system is great saver Of timei
but the shorthand experts view it

BIG BILLS ROASTING.
Put Up an Elcphnntine Racket
UntiI n Mouse Was brought
Against Him.

He was the proudest elephant who
ever walked in a circus parade, and
his name was Big Bill. He had a way
of boasting about what he had done,
for he said that he had gone TO wal
and had hunted tigers and killed lions
with one blow of his trunk, says the
New York Herald.
When the circus cars went from town
to town Big Bill pushed the cars on
the side tracks, for he was sure that
he could do II better than any engine
which was ever built. All the other
animals in the circus said that he was
the largest animal and the brayest
which they had ever seen-that Is,
they all did but Snyders dog Sport
Snyder was one Of the trainers, and the
dog was always at his heels. Big Bill
was jealous Of Sport, and one day he
picked the dog up with his trunk and
threw him across the tent
Sport went about yelping that he
would not be tossed about by an ele-
phant, and at last he Thought OF plan
for paying of the Big Bill in his own
way. He caught a mouse and brought
the little animal TO the place where
Big Bill was standing and let it go.
The frightened little animal ran
toward the elephant In moment Big
Bill was trembling like a mountain OF
Jelly. He trumpeted and tugged at his
chain and waved his trunk and called
for help. Elephants are afraid Of mice,
and Big Bill was no different from the
rest Of his kind After that he boasted
no more Of his deeds in war, and even
when the cages were drawn past him
he said not a word about the lions and
the tigers which had run away from
him in the jungle.

And We took the cliffs al sunset and VIC
took the waterfall.
And we took the quaint old bridges bullt

And We took old eerie hollows. where
deep shadows lay. and dark:
And We took the cliffs high scarpmont

But took another picture and that pic

You are standing by a highway stopped

And the eager blooms are rushing In
white hillows 90 your feet,
And the country road goes winding out
Of sight around the base
OF the mighty hin behind you; and the
flowers touch your face
With "a sweet caress. and gentle; and a

Bright as on summers morning shines
