VeuKutre, Ge, November 6.—At
'does this afternoon, Taylor Hunt, of
Valdosta, was killed hy the east bound way
freight train of the Savannah, Florida aud
Western tailrosd, on the l’sttersou vtrr ot
crossing, near the depot nt this place. Thu
traiu had just gone out of a side track, end
was again polling up to the freight house
for tho purpose of discharging freight
Hunt approached the moving train aid
deliberately threw himself betweeu two ot
the box cars, three or four truck wheels
passing over his body, which
whs terribly mangled, and which
caused instant death. Apparently
ffort was mode by him to cro- i to tho op-
oosito street as the ears were nioviog rap-
dly. No attempt beiug ma le to catch to
anything or to climb over tbo bumpers, snd
the manner in which he threw himself un
der the cars led oil who saw it to believe
that it waa suicide.
Taylor Hunt wss aged s'ion t 23 years,
and married. He hes hern in tho liqaoi
business in this town for many yours. His
life has been a wild aud dissipated one
from yontb. However, be bad msny friends
and hi* death is deeply regretted. " No fault
can be attached to the railroad company.

Coiimxo, November 3.—OnSunduy even
ing Cyrus Tobin, of Cherry Tree, Pa., took
a tump and went down cellar to draw ft
iltoher of oider. In one corner of tho col-
sr ranks of kindling wood are piled. Ah
Tobin went down the steps ho heard iotn»-
thing jump on tho wood snd several alickH
tubiulu down to the cellar llo .r Tobin
thought s men bad gotten lulu th- n list,
and was prowling there to rob the bunco.
He held the lamp up to let tho light tall on
the wood pile, w ben h* wss startled to atio
sn enormous wildest cronehiug there. In
bis excitement Tobin threw tbo
ilteher he bad in his hnud at
he wildest The pi'eber atrnck tbo
wall abort theanimal's head,ami fragmente
of crockery fell book upon it. The wildcat,
sprang dear across the culla', and after
leaping from one place to another vanlte-1
to a swinging shelf about ten feet from
where Tobin waa standing.
Tobin ran back np stain and got Ida re
volver, and, returning to the cellar, I) aztxl
away at tho wildcat. Tbo concussion put
th* light oat, snd then the eyes ofthawBi* '
'•at oould be so plainly aoeu gtariDg at its
enemy in the dark that the latter waa afraid
to fire again without n light, and hurried
hock up stairs to relight tho lamp. Thera
was no one io the bouse besides Teliin **•
cept bis wife and daughter. When he curno
up the first Ume aud got the pistol he won
in such a burry that he did not tell them
wbst he had seen in the cellar, and before
they could follow him the shot had been
lireil that extinguished the tamp.
Mrs. Tobin and her daughter ran to the
cellar steps, snd, seeing that It was all dark
at the bottom, thought Tobin bad shot
him • If. and ran screaming to a > eighbor'a.
Tobin, iu hi* dotermiuoUnn to kill the wild,
cat, paid no sttenUon to the running away
of hi* family, bat relighted bis tamp snd
returned to the oeltar. It wss evident that
hi* first shot had not hit the mark, ior tho
wildcat remained on the swingiog (belt,
crouching down. Tho animal a-emed be
wildered by its strong* snrrorm,lings. To
bin fired again, and again tbetampventont.
The wildest was probably bit, for it leaped
from tbs shelf ana leaped about the oeltar
among barrels and boxes, making a racket
that drove Tobin helter-skelter book np tho
iloirs again.
As he was relighting hi* lamp bis wife snd
daughter, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
Gitas, neighbors, came rushing into tho
room, and t* Mrs. Tobin saw her husband
standing in tbe zoom she fainted. In tbo
excitement that followed Tobin gsv* no *s-
piination of bieshota in th* cellar, butwhtik
sirs. Tobin was restored he told sbont tba
wildcat. Tobin and Giles re-entered tbr.
oeltar, Giles with the lamp and Tobin with
the revolver. They aonid not find the wild
est for some time, but lie wss '-Drily found
b-himl some barrel* of apples under tho
celtar a’ept. Tobin fired another shot at It,
and the animal leaped oat, ran hy tbe two
rntxi up the oeltar steps and went into tba
room where the three excited women wet a
Their scream* added to the apparent l>ewil-
derment of the wildest, and it tried to jump
through a window.
Tobin and Giles hurried upstairs, aud
found the women huddled together in one
corner of tbe room, almost raising the ceil
ing with their shrieks, while tho wildcat
was on Ibe other side of tbn room trying to
And s place to escape from the house.
Tobin fired again, snd the wildest leaped to
the top ot the bureau, sweeping everything
to tbe floor that wss ou it, ami :h*n sprang
past the men and retamed to the celtar.
Tobin and Giles followed it, bat it was no-
wl ere to be found.
A small cellar window was found to be
op-n, and by that it bad evidently come
into th* eellsr in the first place, and slso
