try School. egaIy

Goshen, N. Y, Jan. 3O.--Miss
Margaret Connolly and Miss Laura
Fitzgerald, two young lady school
teachers who reside here and teach
school at Mount Eve, distance Of
ten miles from Goshen, encountered
and vanquished a large bear Wednes-

train at E5:25 each school day morn
ing. The traip is due at Mount Eve
shortly before16 O'clock. 4 i
After they. had left the train and
were on their way to the school
house, they met the bear. in the road,
and the animal was apparently dis
posed to dispute their progress. The
young ladies were provided with
pocket flashlights to enable them to
see the path in the dark Of the early
morning and they flashed these upon
the bear, which thereupon retreated
up the road, backing away from them
until they reached the school-house in
safety. The bear was not seen after
that and is believed to have wand
cred into the adjacent woods. The
animal has made no further attempt
to scrape acquaintance with tn"
Young ladies.

NEGRESS SAVES CHILDREN.
Jumps in. Front of Freight Train and
Snatches Little Ones From Death.

Greensboro, n. c., Jan. 3O.-An act
of heroism that commands admira-
ticn was that of Lizzie Reid, a negro
woman, who; a day or two ago prob
ably saved the, lives of two -3-year-
old white children. The children
were those Of J. I. Mederais, 657
Chetnut street, and of w. G. Ogburn,
6Gl Chestnut street. They had
strayed away from home with tiny
wagon and goc4rE their playthings
for the time being. and had reached
the main line of the Southern Rail
way at, point few hundred yards
north of the Summit avenue eros
sing. -
The negro woman, who was coming
through an alleyway from Church
street, saw them from distance and
at the same time she saw an in-com-
ing freight train rounding the curve.
With quick decision and display OF
the self-sacrifcing spirit, she threw
down her bundles, and put out at top
speed for the railroad.
She first threw one Of the children
to the side of the track, and, eaten
ing the other in her arms, jumped TO
safety. One of the children held on
to the tiny wagon being pulled. Inc
freight engine smashed the 60 cart
into smithereens. The negress said
she did not hear any whistle or bell
and the engineer to all appearances
did not see the children ahead Of
him.
The woman then carried the inno-
cent little folks to their homes. Liz
zie Reid is about 80 years of age and
is married, and by her quick work rot
only saved the lives of the children.
but won the heartfelt gratitude OF
the parents, and the admiration Of all
The children had been playing in
the front yard of one Of the homes q
