WILD MAN ABROAD.
Ho Assaults a Woman and Dashes a Child’s Brain 0
Out Against a Tree
For some lime citizens of the south
ern part, of Ohio county, West Vir
ginia, about twenty miles from
Wheeling, have been trying to cap
-lure a strange man who occasionally
made his appearance at isolated home
steads, generally in the absence of the
man of the house, and, by brandish
ing a large elnb, terrororized the
women-folk into giving him food.
He always appeared dressed in skins,
and was never known to speak. Of gi
gantic stature and ferocious aspect, he
has been a terror to the community,
and several attempts have been made
to capture him, hut without success.
It is supposed he Mvea in one of the
numerous caves in the vicinity. This
morning he went to tho house of
George rowelNSoh after that gen
tleman had gone to his work, howl
ing like a wild beast and frothing at
the mottth. life attacked Mrs. Powell
with hfs cnilg frafturikig her skull and
otherwise 'injuring her. lie then
picked up her only child, a boy about
live years of age, and darted into the
woods, carrying it. screaming in his
arms. A neighbor passing the house
shortly afterward found Mrs. Powell
in a critical comtttitfn, hut able to tell
him what had hnppencned. Tho man
started at once for tho nearest town
and Organized a party to pursue the
strange creature and rescue the child.
They 'stTon struck tho trail, and after
following it for about five miles,
canto upon the b >v. Tho brains!
had been dashed out against a tree.
Two of tlie parties returned with the
child and the rest continued search for
the man, but at last accounts they had
not succeeded in overtaking him.
There are several authorities as to
who he is. Some think lie is one of
tlie murderers who escaped from the
Moundsville penitentiary some
mouths ago. Others think itc is a
madman. All know be is adangerous
character ami must be captured or
killed.—Pittsburg Speci 1 to Chicago
Tribune.
A SAD ACCIDENT.
Mr. H.nry Olbsoa, of Mott's .Mills, Bhoots at a
Bquirrol and the Charge ia Rocalved by hia
Brother end Little 800
Friday evening a party consisting
of Mr. James Bird, Henry Gibson and
liis little son,and ilia brother Tom, ail
of Mott’s Mills, Ala., went out squir
rel hunting near that place. They
soon found their game, and wore sta
tioned at different jioiuts. Mr. Bird
fired at buimcy. The squirrel made
a flyiug leats aud Mr. Gibsou aimed
at it, thinkiiigthat lie would bring
down the game on the wing. Not
noticing that Mr. Gibson was going
to shoot, his brother and little son
ran to the spot where the game
would fall, thinking Mr. Bird’s sliet
had killed the squirrel. Justus they
had readied the spot. Mr Gibson fired,
the shot taking effect in the little
hoy’s head, just back of the car, one
of'them penetrating the sknll, and al
so in the thigh of bis brother. One
of the shot is supposed to have enter
ed bis kidney. Mr. Gibson was hor
rified at the unexpected results of bis
shot. The wounded were taken home
and Dr. Johnson of this city sum
moned. The doctor did what lie
could for the relief of the suffering,
but we understahd that the little boy
is seriously if not fatally injured.
The shooting was entirely acciden

We heard last week one of the sad
dest stories that we have ever listened
to. We iiearil from Ttev. I!. 11. Sass
oon, who was visiting relations in
this county at I lie time, that a friend in
Kufaula, Ala., had committed sui
cide. The story as told is as follows :
His friend was in the sitting room
at the time engaged in conversation
with a friend. His litilo boy came
in while lie was talking and was
troubling his father, and the father
not wishing to lie disturbed gently
pushed the little fellow aside, telling
him at the same time to go away, and
as he did so. the little fellow stumbled
and fell against the stove, killing him
instantly. The father screamed, and
in so doing startled his wife, who was
up stairs bathiug her baby. In try
ing to comedown stairs she fell aud
broke her neck. Tho heart broken
father and husband went tip stairs a
short time after and found that his
wife had led the baby in the tub and
it bad fallen over and drowned. it
was more than the father could stand,
and in a few minutes lie blew liisown
brains out. Thus a family that bad
an hour before been perfectly happy
was each and every member dead.
VVe have never in our life-time heard
of a sadder story. Was litis predesti
nation or was it an accident. —Sparta

A HUMAN MONSTROSITY.
A Morgan County Woman Give* Birth to a
Double-Headed Child.
Tlie slrangont malloimation that
the writer ever saw was a double-
Sieaded child, about twenty-four hours
old. It was exhibited by Mr. F. W.
Jones, of this county, wtio stated to
us tiiat a mulatto woman living on
liis place gave birth to the monstros
ity on last Wednesday at 12 o'clock
a. ni. He was passing the cabin
about the time the birth was given,
and his attention was attracted by
unusual excitement among the in
mates of the cabin, who were intense
ly alarmed over the occurrence. Go
ing in to ascertain the cause of the ex
citement, lie was shown the above
monstrosity by the sister of the wom
au who had given the uuualurel
birth, and told by her that it breathed
several times after birth. It was
placed in a small box and interred,
but Mr. .Jones, thinking that this
would be a valuable contribution to
medical science, persuaded the moth
er to let him exhume it and preserve it
in alcohol. After gaining her con
sent he immediately disinterred the
double-headed child, put it in alco
hol and the following day brought it
to Madisotu—Madisonian.

He ran right over a boe stand just tlie

jumped over the. feuce of the poultry
yard, alighting upon the old black hen
that was brooding thirteen chicks,
breaking her neck, and mashing five
hapless “wcetles”; the gun caught in

THE RIVAL MAUSOLEUMS.
A Tomb-building Contaet between Vanderbilt and
Gould.
William H. Vanderbilt aud Jay
Gould are now engaged in a little
business outside of tlieir stock trans
actions. In tliobuilding of the two
proposed mausoleums these giant mil
lionaries are determined. if possible,
to outdo each other in cost. Though
Mr. Vanderbilt's tomb will occupy
some nine acres in all against one acre
for Mr. Gould, it is known that the
latter will spend close upon SIOO,OOO
in the construction of bis tomb. Mr.
Vanderbilt’s mausoleum will cost
about $75,000. Mr. I*. M. Hunt, the
architect,said to a Journal reporter
yesterday :
‘•Mr. Vanderbilt lias partly ap
proved of Ilio plans I have submitted
to him, but certaiu alterations arc to
be made, and until lids is done T can
not give a de ciiptjou <d’ + tlie inattso
ileum.”
The outside construction Of Mr.
Gould's tomb, at Woodiawn Ceme
tery, is now completed. The inner
walls will he of delicately shaded
marble. There will also be a richly
stained glass window representing a
chier of angels. It is designed to
hold twenty bodies.
THE JOKER’S BWDGET.
"Whatmakes you look so serious
tin's morning?” u-ltjed Gus DeSmith
of Cot Giihooly.
“I’ve got etmTigh to make three
such men as me look serious. You
know that fine pointer dog l paid
sevonly-fivo dollars for?”
‘•Yes, I've seen him. He's a splen
did animal.”
“Well, lam going to loose him.
Ho has all tlie symptoms of hydro
phobia. I think I’ll take him out and
shoot him as soon as I go home.”
“Whatdoesho do?”
“He don’t do anything. He lies
around in a listless sort ot a way ;and
the worst of it is, he won't touch wa
ter. You can’t make him drink a
drop of water.”
‘•is that all? Why Colonel, some
of the leading citizens of Austin have
got these very symptoms. Before you
destroy a seventy-live dollar dog. you
had better wait and see how some of
these prominent gentlemen, who can’t
be made to drink water, turn out.
If everybody who prefers beer and
Whisky towater, and who don’t want
to work, is going to have hydropho
bia, we’re about to have a lively old
lime of it here in Austin. By Jove, it
will he equal to an extra scssiouof the

AN ELECTRIC MOTOR.
Running a Loci v Without Fire or Stoaix>.
Saratoga, N. Y„ Nov. 24, 1883.—An
electric railway motor was success
fully le.tcd, In presc nc ■ of four thou
sand people, here to-day, including
one li mid red guests from New York
City. The teat was made on tlie Sar
a tog*,.*nd Mount McGregor Hail road,
a third rail in the centre Jt the” track
having been laid for the purpose.
This rail was charged from an elec
trical machine i.i a neighboring fac
tory, and about four o’clock llie mo
tor came down from the engine house
with one passenger car loaded with
guests attached. The inventor turned
llie electrical switch on the motor and
it moved off amid cheers from the
spectators. It pulled the load as far
as the track had been prepared at a
speed of about ten miles an hour.
()u the return the motor, which is
quite light, weighing only about two
tons, jumped the track while going
twenty miles an hour around a sharp
curve. It was considerably damaged
atul several persons were thrown off,
but noetic was injured.
TOO MANY EGGS.
A New Yorker expected to make a
small fortune by selling to restaura
teurs one hundred and eight thousand
eggs that bad been cooked bard by nil
accidental tire in the bold of a Danish
steamer. He bought them for s2oo,dr
at Hie rale of five eggs for less than a
cent. After carting the two hundred
and fifty cases to his store lie discovered
that sulphur had made llie eggs unfit
to eat. Then ho was puzzled to know
how to get rid of them. When he at
tempted to send them ofl', a lew hun
dred at a time in ash crates, a police
man threatened to arrest him. Next
lie tried the ofl'al dock, but the men
tion of so many spoiled eggs caused
the men to turn away from him as if
he had the small-pox. Almost in de
spair he then appealed to Hie Board of
Hcall U, whose su peri n tendon t su gges t
ed that lie dump Hie cargo in Jersey.
The egv victim refused to bankrupt
himself by such an undertaking and
declared that lie would throw the en
tire storcful of eggs into the street.
The superintendent coolly told him
that if lie wanted to be locked up lie
might do so and thus Hie matter rests.
BAIL.ROAD EARNINGS.
Under Hie above heading the New
York Financial Chronicle says: ‘-In
the case of the roads of the South Hie
improvement recorded is hardly sec
ond to that of the Northwestern
roads. Among those Southern roads
the Louisville and Nashville takes
front rank. It reports a gain for the
month of over $201,000, and this, too,
after having gained $212,000, a year
ago. In the fourth week alone Hie
gain was over SIOI,OOO. There is one
general cause for large gains made
in successive veais by Southern roads,
and that is the South is now under
going very rapid improvement. Not
only arc her cotton manufacturing in
dustries expanding rapidly but she is
alto developing other industries, no
tably the manufacture of iron and Hie
miningof coal. And this latter fact,
no doubt, discloses one source of in
creased earnings to such roads as the
Louisville and Nashville and theKasl
Tennessee, which penetrate the Ala
bama district, where the production
of coal and iron is proving so proflta
