NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Aged Clergyman Asphyxlated, His Wife
Found Unconscious.

Rev John A. Parker, Sc, was asphyxi-
ated in his home on Butler court in Keene
on Thursday of last week. and his wife,
who was found unconscious in the house
at the same time, was taken to the Elliot
City hospital in a serious condition. Mar
tin o. Quinn, letter carrier, on making his
second delivery at the house, noticed that
the mail which he had left earlier in the
day had not been removed and at the
on entering he found the body of Mr..
Parker in a reclining position on a couch
in the kitchen, and Mrs. Parker was lying
on the floor back of the kitchen range.
quinn gave an alarm and physicians were
summoned. They found that Mr.. Parker
was dead. Mrs. Parker was taken to the
hospital, where she regained conscious
ness the following day. The elderly peo-
pie did not understand the operation of a
gas range which had been put in their
kitchen only two days before the accident
and a gas cock leading to the oven had
been left open. Mr. Parker was a shoe
maker by trade, but as a licensed preach
er in the Methodist church had filled
pastorates in Holbrook, Cornish, Chester
field and Fitzwilliam Depot. He served
in the 14th New Hampshire regiment in
the Civil war. He was married three
times and his third wife was Mrs Har-
riet Stedman of Messina, n. Y. He leaves
two sons by his first marriage George w.
Parker of Westport and Homer D. Parker
of Keene.

Buffalo Match for a Lion.

Kermit also shot three buffalo bulls,
Tarlton helping him to finish them on,
for they are tough animals, tenacious OF
life and among the most dangerous OF
African game. One turned to charge,
but was disabled by the bullets of both
of them before he could come on. Tarl-
ton, whose experience in the hunting
field against dangerous game had been
large, always maintained that although
lion hunting was the most dangerous
sport, because a hunted lion was far more
apt to charge than any other animal yet
that when a buffalo bull did charge he
was more dangerous than lion, because
harder to kill or turn. Where zebra and
other game are abundant, as on the Athi
plains, lions do not NEEDLE with such for
midable quarry as buffalo; on Heatleys
farm lions sometimes made their lairs In
the same papyrus swamp with the buff
falo, but never molested them. In many
places, however, the lion preys largely,
and In some places chiefly, on the buff
falo. The hunters of wide experience
with whom I conveTsed, men like Tarl-
ton Cunninghame and Horne, were a
unit in stating that where a single lion
killed a buffalo they had always found
that the buffalo was a COW or immature
bull, and that whenever they had found
a full-grown bull thus killed, several
lions had been engaged in the job. Horne
had once found the carcass of a big bull
which had been killed and eaten by lions,
and near by dead lioness with a great
rip in her side, made by the buffalo's
horn in the fight in which he succumbed.
Even a buffalo cow, If pitted against a
single lion, would probably stand an even
chance; but of course the fight never is
fair, the lions aim being to take his
prey unawares and get a death grip at
the outset; and then, unless his hold is
broken, he cannot be seriously injured.
