A Parkersburg special to the Baltimore American to.lay says: Randolph County, a day or two ago, was tle scene of a terrific fight between a deer, two men and a dog, in which the deer killed the dog, badly Wounded ‘one of the men, and gored a young steer so badly that it had to be killed. Elisha McLeod and Capt. Wormsley, sheep grazers, came upon the deer while ‘collect- ing their flocks The animal, an immense stag, sleek, fat and full-grown, was quietly browsing with some Neither of the farmers had a gun, and were too far from home to run the risk of ‘to get one, While thinking What to do, a shepherd dog that accompanied the farmers gave chase to the deer And brought it to bay after about half a inile’s run. Wen the fariners caine up the dog and deer were engaged in a fight. ‘The deer was bleeding at sev- eral parts, where the dog had bitten it, while the dog had ’a deep wound in the side, made by the horns of the deer. Seeing the meu approaching, the deer started toward them, tossing his head in rage. Elisha McLeod was in his track and was gored in the side, Before the animal could attack | Wormsley, the dog had bitten him tn the flank, which brought him tothe ground. In a winute the deer was up, and, darting ‘at the dog, buried his horns tn his body ‘and tossed him somie distance. By this time the men had clubs, and one of them felled the stag to the ground, when it made @ second attack, ‘wounding him. ‘They then went for a gun, and to attend to the wound of McLeod, who was bleeding profusely. When Wormsley returned he found that the deer had attacked a two-year-old steer and gored it so that it had to be killed. One shot ended the ire of the stag, which was one of tne largest seen for years, ———_.9-__ An Aged Miser’s Plight. FREEZING AND STARVING IN A HOVEL WITH $50,000 TO HIS CREDIT. A dispatch from Allentown, Pa., says a singu- Jar case of miseriiness came to light there yester- day and was investigated by the police upon being reported to the mayor. For many years John Losch, an aged citizen, had been a resident of 728 Lawrence street, in 4 small house surrounded by ‘two others—one occupied by his sisters and the other by John E. Meyer, a carpet weaver. Mr. Losch, by the most rigid economy and by exercis- ing a’ miserliness that estranged nearly every other person from him, amassed a handsome sum, which he invested in unimproved real estate. ‘The property has increased in value, until, Mr. Losch’s estate is worth to-day between $40,000 and $50,000. Since the death of his wife Mr. Losch has been leading a more rigorous life, and almost slut himself up from contact with others. ‘Yesterday afternoon Mr. Meyer's attention Was called to his neighbor by his hearing the old man’s Screams and cries. Meyer went in and was hor- rifled at the spectacle which greeted his eyes. The house Was not fit for human habitation, Leaks in the stove pipe had filled the room with smoke until the walls were black and gloomy. The floor “was covered with ashes, coal and filth, | The furniture, a bed, stove, chair and closet, was of the most dilapt- dated description. Mr. Losch was seated near ‘the fireless stove. He was nearly starved and frozen to death. Being eighty-six years old, and alone In the house, he was nearly helpless." Pal- sied with age and ‘chattering from cold, his condi- Uon Was pitiable in the extreme. His daughter Went to Patladelphia two weeks ago, leaving the old man alone with nothing to eat Dut some beans and appie-butter. Upon this he subsisted until Mr. Meyer got him a loaf of bread, The mayor, after the investigation by the officers, has decided to report tue matter to the children, who are three well-to-do aud prosperous business men and two cl ry of the Evangeli- Sire SSitpernde i Large clea Boe A Senautter, De D., New York Evening—Paper, “Individual otlity Growing out of Perils and Opportuaities,” Rev.

Ever since their marriage he had treated her with the greatest cruelty, and yesterday, in sheer desperation, | Mra. Eaton stabbed her husband with a shoe knife, in Hlcting mortal wounds. | Sunday forenoon’ the neighbors heard shouts of murder from the Eaton house, and rushing in found Mrs. Eaton brandish- ing a bloody knife, while her husband lay on the floor in a pool of ‘his own bivod, flowing from & terrible wound tn his side.

HER DESIGNER, FOR ONCR AND ALL, GIVES THE REA- ‘SONS FOR HER DEFRAT. From the London Field. Ste: In last Saturday's Field Mr. J. V. Webb conveys the impression that, while Sir Richard Sutton and Lieut, Henn acknowledged at once “they did not win because the American boat was too fast,” those connected with the Thistle were not equally candid, and seem to think they should be held responsible for those “complaints, ¢x- cuses,” &c., Which have been made about the Tuistle races. Now, whatever “complaints and excuses” have been made—and there have certainly been more than enough—uo one of these has emanated from any one connected with the Thistie.

Five hundred and twenty-one patients, some of whom came from Turkey, were inoculated, and thirteen died, ‘The director divides the patients into three groups the better to explain the proportion ot tal cases to the total number of patients dis- missed as cured. In fifty-two cases the existence of rabbies in the animal by which the patients Were bitten Was proved by trepanning. Of these acients one died tn twelve Cases the rabid con- dition of the animal was proved by the deaths of persons bitten by the same antinals, but who were not brought to the station. Of these one also died. ‘There were 255 cases in which the patients ali bitten by presumably rabid animals had mani- fested signs of hydrophobia, Of these seven dled. Sixteen persons were inoculated ag a preventive measure, never having been bitten by animals, Tabid or healthy. Dr. Gamaloa, the director of the Odessa station, and’an enthustastic disciple of M.

A movement has been started, says the Phila- deiphia Press, having for its objeot “The Emanct- pation of Clothing Salesmen.” It exists in some of the large ready-made-clothes stores, whose em- Ployes complain that they are forced to do work of compromising and undignified character.

Shortly after leaving Albany the conductor on the Boston and Albany took up this ticket and offered an exchange check in its place. ‘This the complainant refused to take, and de- manded his ticket back aguin. ‘The decision says ‘that It appeared that {tls a rule of the Boston and Albany Railroad that all tickets issued by other corpGrattons, whether limited or unlimited, shail be taken up by its conductors when the passenger arrives on ts road, and that exchange checks shall be given in place thereof, and it was shown that unless some such ‘method. was adopted the compa: would have no evidence that it had carried the passenger at all.
