BULL DOG NURSING LION CUBS. Their Own Mother Spurned Them, so
 Outside Talent Was Called In.

Chicago, Sept. 1s-A Chicago dog is rearing two lion cubs, the latest ad. dition to "Cy" Devries' charges at Lincoln park. They were born last Saturday morning to Emma Flames, but the lioness flatly refused to nurse her offspring.
 The two lion babies piteously pro- claimed the fact that they were hun- gry Finally Devries learned or Lady Slopes," Boston bulldog, whose eight puppies had been drown ed. Her owner was willing to let her become a foster-mothcr to the lion cubs.
 Lady Slopes'' was taken to the lion house and introduced to the diminu- tive jungle kings. After prefimln.. ary sniff or. two, she wagged her tail approvingly. The cubs ceased to whine, and twenty minutes later they had forgotten that such a thing as hunger had ever existed.

COUNCIL
 AUTHORIZES
 INDEBTEDNESS

The roaring lion sought the man., ners of the mild hammered lamb laskj evening, making of the meeting of the1 Common Council session of peaces amnity and tranquility. A close ob- server called it most unbel1icose- It was at least the least belligerent ever held by the present council.
 There was just one tilt to mar the smoothness of the session, that pe- tween Mayor Buckingham and Alder man Jackson. It came about through the alderman making a plea that re- pair work for his district be worked out before the frost set in the ground Tn his remarks he attempted to car- ry the impression that sometimes ap- propriations for one purpose are us- ed up on another. For this the mayor took the alderman to account by say- ing, Alderman you should not say that appropriations are not always used for the purpose for which they are granted. The city auditor wilE tell you that such a thing cannot be done" we will not debate that ques- tion this evening, as am not prepar- ed,'' replied the alderman, Out next meeting will come with facts to verify my assertions"
 Alderman Jackson who expects to attend but few more sessions of the council is ending his aldermanic ca reer by introducing numerous peti- tions and resolutions.
 Director Kenny was slightly ruff1ed ats the alderman's statements relative to Pacific street. After the meeting he stated that so far most of the fill- ings from State street were placed in Fifth district streets. including Pa cific street There are other streets than those in the Fifth district that need some of it. and they will get 1t, too" said the director.
 < Of particular interest to the tax payers was the action of the council in authorizing the issuance of $100.000 of construction bonds and s100.000 in [ notes to pay for the new pavement. 1 These matters were brought to thet attention of the council by the city, auditor who explained that permis- sion for their issuance had been a1- lowed by the state Legislature. Ho of a value of $1, 900 each bearing in- terest at 1-2 per cent. The notes bear interest at 4 Ia per cent .
 The council approved of all the re- ports from the Claims committee au- thorizing, the payment of various claims against the city. All have been previously printed.
 If any had come expecting to learn more in the McKenaa situation they were greatly disappointed. Following the communication of the mayor to the city engineer asking the latter to resign, it was expected that the engf- either to the mayor Or to the coun- cil The reply is yet to come. The only reference made to the office was the authorization of the payment of a bill of $8S.20 of the Aston Motor Car . Go. for automobile repairs.

CONDUCTOR MAKES RESCUE.
Dashes From Car and Saves Woman and Child From Runaway
 Horse,

New Haven, Sept. 19eConductor John J. Hogan placed himself in line for the Carnegie medal yesterday when he rushed out in front of a runaway horse on Howard avenue and saved a woman and a baby in a car riage from being run over.
 Hogan had stopped his car there to turn. the signal light. He. saw the horse, which was one owned by Krahl the Norths Haven milk man, and rushed out and tried to turn it aside. When he failed in this he dived for the baby carriage and managed to push that and carry the woman out of harms way
 The horse turned aside a short dis tance from there and collided with a trolley pole. The horse ran away when the, driver went in to deliver some milk.

loughby Spit, has been, in every war, a much-desired naval rendezvous This harbor is also important as a fishing center. A well-found fleet ing sizes make it's headquarters in Norfolk and Hampton Roads. The first landing of the steamer is made at the Government dock at Old Point Comfort and in front of the famous Chamberlain Hotel.
 Here the traveller may leave the boat and start on an interesting sight seeing trip.
 At Old Point Comfort is Fortress Monroe, one of the largest forts with in the limits of the United orates, the space inside it's massive walls being nearly eighty acres, and the entire military reservation covering nearly two hundred acres. The granite walls of the old fort-which is medieval in character and is surrounded by broad and deep moat with several drawbridges---look imposing indeed, but the power of modern heavy ord nance has made useless and obsolete these solid-looking piles of masonry. The real Notifications of to-day, mounted with disappearing guns, breech-loading mortars and rapid-fire cannon, are unobtrusive and scarcely noticeable grass-covered earthworks outside the walls. The fort serves as a barrack, quarters and supply depot for the regiment of artillery that is stationed here, for point of historic interest to all Visitors, and for daily excursions by guests of the Hotel Chamberlain when the fort bug1er blows the assembly, and the regi- mental band sounds off, for the dai- ly dress parades.
 Hampton. just beyond Old Point Comfort, vies with the latter fin his- toric value, but it's chief present day interest to visitors lies in the splendid National Home for Disa bled Soldiers, the great national cemetery and the fine Hampton Institute, the latter superbly equipped school for the in- dustrial education of negroes and In- dfans. This school was founded in 1868 by General s. c. Armstrong, and now has between twelve hundred and thirteen hundred students.
 It is we'll worth a visit and much spacious grounds and building.
 From Hampton one may go to Newport News famous for the bat tie of the Monitor and Merrimac and for its large shipyards. Then over to Norfolk from which as a center many side trips offer themselves to the traveller. Richmond, Petersburg, Portsmouth with it's Navy Yard. Jam mestown Island and many other places of historic interest.
 The return to New York is equally as pleasant as the trip down. The Old Dominion steamers leave Nor folk every evening at o'clock, dim ner being served before leaving, and New York is reached at 3:30 the fol- lowing day.

LOVE AFFAIR FATAL.
Body of Thompsonville Girl Found Floating in River.

Thompsonville, Sept. @-The body Of Miss Silvestra Alonge was found floating in the Connecticut river near Enfield Falls yesterday. She was last seen Sunday when she left her home, and it is the theory of the authorities and her friends that she committed suicide through despondency over a love affair.
 The girl was about nineteen years of age. The body was first seen by passengers on a morning train, and when the train reached Windsor Locks word was telephoned to this place. The body was several feet from the shore at the foot of a steep bank and was recovered with much difficulty.

Canadian and Summer People Re~
 sponsible, Says Reform Worker.

Winsted, Sept. 19-Dr. W. F. Shafts of the International reform bureau, who has spent two months in the Maine prohibition campaign, opened the local no-license campaign here last night. During his address he gave several reasons for the falling off in the vote for prohibition in Maine as follows:
 The relative increase in city popu- lation; the large removal of strong young men to other states, and the substitution in their place of French Canadians; partisanship in the en- forcement and on-enforcement of the law; the unfavorable influence of many summer visitors on Sabbath observance and the hostility of many to prohibition.

Four Held As
 Train Wreckers
C0rOner's Jury Says Rails Were Tempered With Before
 Saybrook Disaster

Middletown, Sept 19-The coroner's jury, which has been hearing evidence brought out by Coroner stephen B. Davis as to the wreck of the Saybrook express on the Valley Branch of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad at Maromas Aug. 27, has brought in it's verdict that the rails had been tempered with, thereby caus- ing the wrecking of the train, and that there is reasonable cause for holding Antonio Stefano, Aaphonse Cecchinni, Giocomo Lisi, and Antonio Diorrio. arrested on coroner's war rants recently in connection with the wreck. The wreck resulted in the death of Abram F. Brown of Hart ford and the injuring of three-score other persons. AS result of the verdict the four men were held by the coroner for a hearing in the police court on Thursday of this week. At the close of the proceedings the four men were returned to Haddam jail.
 Albino Allesio, a private detective from Boston, said he went to the home of Giacomo Lisi and secured board. Under pretence of being discharged railroad man with a grudge against the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, Allesio says he got Ldsi to tell of the prep- arations for wrecking the express The story was that Lisi and three other men, all of whom were angry at having been discharged from sec tion gangs, secured tools and hid them on the opposite side. of the Connecti- cut River from the point selected for derailment of the express. On Sun day afternoon, Aug. 27, the four men got the tools, crossed the river in a boat, and under cover of darkness drew out twenty-five to thirty spikes and raised one end of a rail. They waited about until the train was wrecked, when they dispersed to their homes. Lisi had told Allesio that if he mentioned thes story to any one his heart would be cut out with a knife and his eyes cut out with a pair of scissors.

BAKE I0IIRNALISM

We notice that the PhttGdelphtG
Press is seeking to boost its Della.
ware circulation by free door
step distribution of samples.
Now if there is any paper pub.
lished in Philadelphia, that has
had less claim to the patronage OF
Delawareans on the score of con,
tanning state news, it is this same
Press.
Either in its Office, or through
a Wilmington correspondent
who paws over the state exchan-
es, it distorts or manufactures
the most absurd yarns about
state happenings and prints them
as delaware news"
Repeatedly Middletown events
have been sodoctored in this way
that the man who wrote the ar
ticles would hardly know his own
handiwork.
Itisof course cheaper to make
news to order in this way Than
now and then to pay to local cor.
respondents, a little money for
the real article.
Neither is there anything in its
editorial columns that especially
commends it. Time was when
The Press, under a Forney, and
later under a Smith, was a real
power in Pennsylvania journal,
ism. It has long been nothing
but an opportunist in politics,
and q sorry ghost of its former
self editorially.
