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 tal aud our readers can well imagine the grief and sorrow of Hie fond pa rcnlndk 0 yjn —Columbus "Ii n, ASAD STOBT. 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 Son beam. 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. AN OPKCK ON PREVENTION. sometimes an ounce of prevention is worse than a pound of disease. One day last week the children came running in, shrieking that a big hawk was circling over the poultry-vai and. Old Farmer Thistipod dropped hi a paper, caught hia truuty gun from the rack, ami charged f#r Ihcpouliry-yanl* He ran right over a boe stand just tlie other side of the cypress bush, and was stiing in thirty places before lie 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 fence as he jumped and went ofl, kill ing a ronng turkey, and filling the Durham heifer in the meadow nearly full of buckshot; while the hawk, alone calm and self-possessed in the midst of the tumult anil confusion, sailed gracefully away with the one spring chicken he had all along inten ded to levy on.— Harper's Magazine THE WASHINGTON GAZETTE. VOL XVIII. 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 Lcgi slalti re. ” —Texas Si ft i ngs. m • 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 ble. n We have the largeet and moat yarie assortment of lamp goods ever brought South.
