Young Bear Commits Suicide.

Allen Briggs, Jr., of Searsbury
has been after an old she bear and a
cub which he has seen several times
in the vicinity ofCold Spring brook.
He tried trapping, but for some time
the animals were too wary to be
caught that way. Last Friday morn
ing, however, Allen visited his trap
and found that there was something
doing. When he found the trap he
found the cub, too, and it was dead.
From evidences which he found,
young Briggs concluded that the
bear committed suicide when it
found it could not free itself from
the trap. 1t had evidently hit its
head on a sharp stone and killed
itself.

studying and examining American railways,
recently completed its report of the inves

the lack of speed, comfort and cheap rates

Great Britain. which country is supposed
to hold first place In the European railroad
world.
The report mentions the Pennsylvania and
the New York Central systems in compli-
mentary terms, especially the former for
its wonderful freight-handling facilities at
Pittsburg, Pa.
The Chesapeake and Ohio and the Denver
and Rio Grande are referred to in the re-
port of the commission as having the most
beautiful scenery. The commission used
the Chesapeake and Ohio from Old Point
Comfort, Va, to Louisville, which journey

The rivermen and steamboat men who
are forced to be idle in consequence Of the
freezing of the river. are hoping that the
warmer weather will bring fog. A steam
boat man who has had many years expert
ence on the river said to Star reporter
yesterday that the fog will cause the ice
to decay. when it will become heavier
than water and will sink. The water will
then clear quickly.
This statement is confirmed by other
rivermen and they want the fog and warm
weather to come to make the ice go quickly.
