DRAMATIC RACE FOR LIFE.
GaIloping Through Tunnel In Front
Of a Fast Railway Train.


veiy dramatic incident took
place recently during a run of the
Carmarthenshire hounds, when the
master had very narrow escape
from death, says the London Tattler.
The fox, hard pressed by the hounds,
entered railway tunnel, and before
they could be stopped the whole pack
dashed in after him. Mr.. Harries,
the master, realized their danger and
without moments hesitation gal
loped into the tunnel to try and whip
them off. He had got some little dis
lance into the tunnel when suddenly
he heard the dread roar of an ap-
preaching train, which was thunder
ing along at terrific speed. The head
lights of the engine glared at him.
1t now became a veritable race for
life. Mr.. Harries clapped the spurs
to his horse. On and on they rode at
breakneck speed through the black
tunnel, with the train laundering be-
hiid in the hot pursuit and gradu-
ally diminishing the distance between
them. Luckily the engine driver
caught view of the flying horse and
its rider against the sky line at the
mouth of the tunnel and he slacken-
ed speed. Mr.. Harries and his horse
were saved. The fox and hounds also
escaped unhurt.

To Restore Greek Temple,

The Greek Archaeological Society
has decided to restore the Doric tenn
pie of Jupiter. at Nemea, situated
near the haunt of the famous Nemean
lion, the Staying of which formed one
of the feats of Hercules. The edifice
was overthrow by succession of
earthquakes, and only three columns
are now standing; but the fallen
shafts that lie around the temple are
so little injured that it is believed
that 1t will be possible to re-erect
them and the fallen entablature with
out much difficulty or expense. and
without having recourse to new ma
terial. AS soon as the ground around
the temple has been cleared Of the
litter Of fragments that now cucumber
it, the Greek government which has
hitherto been inaccessible and intends
to begin excavations on the spot,
hopes to make valuable discoveries.

Why Not Raise WAGES?

The world is waiting for a multimil
lionaire who is willing to lessen his
burdensome income by increasing the
pay Of those who are the instruments
of his success. Let him do what he
pleases with his surplus accumula.
tions. It would not be in every sense
agreeable to see him bestow 1t as a
gratuity on his employees, for such q
course would have the appearance OF
charity. But let him recognize the
past and present services Of his help
ers by such an increase in wages as
would be commensurate with the
great value of those services and
would also serve to decrease the en-
barrassment of riches.-Kansas City

incumbent on him to apologize for In

Why Charleston is in Bad Order with
Balance Of the State.
A dispatch from Charleston to the
Columbia State says in the court Of
general sessions Wednesday true bills
were found against Djspensary Con-
stables J. +. Grady, N. D. Gileon,
William hoy and J. A.EMay for assault
and battery upon Rudolph Wieters,
who conducts place on Calhoun
street. The constables raided his place
and WieterS was roughly handled in
the course of the search and conhsca-
tion. The constables claim that they
were assaulted and only defended them
selves. 1t is expected that Attorney
Gunter will appear for the constables.
The time for the trial has not been
fixed. The action OF the grand jury
in indicting the conStables is in con-
trast to their action Tuesday in
throwing out the bills against two
negroes who we're up for having in-
iurcd Constable LykeS, when the lat

FAMOUS SUIT ABOUT BULL.
1t Has Been in the Missouri Courts
Over Twenty Years.

The famous case Of Thomas E. Sub
lette against the Iron Mountain and
Southern Railroad Company for in
jury to q bull, which has been in all
the courts Of the state since its insti.
tuition, over twenty years ago, came
up again at Clayton recently, says
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It
was handed to Judge McElhinney Of
the circuit court in the form Of docu-
mentary evidence, and was taken
under advisement by him.
Twenty-one years and one month
ago Mr. Sublette obtained judgment
in justice OF the peace courJin Adair
County for s75. The suit was brought
to recover damages to d young bull be-
longing to the plaintiff, which was
struck by an engine Of the railroad.
The railroad company took an appeal
to the circuit court OF Adair County,
where the suit was dismissed.
Then began the legal fight which
had run the gamut of course several
times, and which incurred an expense
in court costs alone, according to a
rough estimate of Circuit Clerk Fred
J. Hollocher, Of no less than 81 1000
After the dismissal of the circuit
court In 1853 Mr.. Sublette took it to
the supreme court Of Missouri, which
transferred it to the Kansas City court
of appeals. This body sent the case
back to the Adair County circuit,
where new procedure was begun to
recover the amount Of judgment given
by the justice Of the peace court.
In 1894 the case was transferred
from Adair County to St. Louis Coun-
ty, and from Clayton it went to the
St. Louis court of appeals. It was
sent back for retrial on reversal OF
judgment. An execution was issued,
an Injunction was taken out to stay
the execution, which was also taken
to the court Of appeals, and which
was sustained. a new suit was then
brought on the original judgment,
was mistried once and was brought
back into court again by Judge McEl-
Kinney granting new trial.
The matter Of granting a new trial
was also taken to the higher courts
and sustained. This was the pro-
ceeding which brought it up to yes
terday. The bull has long since died,
and mauy Of the witnesses have passed
away, out OF reach OF the courts. The
suit was originally for SIPS.
