A Remarkable Fonr Cornered Slug- ‘ging Match Which Amused a Party of West Virginia Mountainera Ono Sum- mer Aftefnoon, According to Prize Ring Rules, The mountaineers of this section are always ready to lay work aside and see o fight of any kind—the bloodier the better. But it fell to the lot of old Bill ‘Withers, an old hunter, and Sam Smi- ley, one of his neighbors, to vary the monotony recently with something entirely unique. Last winter Withers captured a full grown hlack bear in a trap, writes a correspondent for the New York World from Dry Run, Poca~ hontas county, W. Va. He penned the animal in a strong log structure and kept it in good condition, but it was so flerce that he could nover do anything with it, and he was about to kill it, when one day not long ago, old Smiley came along. Smiley was the proud owner of a trio of the meanest and crossest billy gonts that ever chewed a tomato can or broke up a country school. He had offen tried to give them away, but nobody would have them, although half the people in the district had threatened to shoot.them on sight. This was the con- dition of things when Smiley rode up to Withers’ house, where, as a matter of course, it being a generally idle time, the conversation turned upon the subject of something in the way of sport. lSl.\lidcnly a bright thought struck Smi- ey. “Say, Bill,” said he, “I’ll tell you what I’ll do. *‘I’ll bet my saddle horse agin your roan mare that I have three old billy goats which “kin lick that bar o’ yourn.” “'Great thunder!” said Bill, “I'll take thet bet. I know yer derned goats kant keep the flies off’n him; but it'll be fun for the boys. When shill the fight cum off ¥ “Less see,” said Smiley. introspec- tively; “It'll take maybe a week to ketch them goats and build a big pen to fight in and get the news to the nabors. This is Tuesday; say next Thursday week. How’ll that suit?” It was agreed that Thursday of the following week should be the time, and the place was fixed ata spoton Withers’ farm, as 1t was supposed there would be more trouble in getting the bear than wvhe gouts to the ground. During the week Smiley and Withers had notified the neighbors, who set to with » will to assist, The goats were trapped—the only safe way to get the pugnacious brutes—and a big rail pen, about geventy feetin diameter and ten feet high was built. When the morning of the dayjest opened the whole country was on the spot to the number of several hundred, including a dozen or so of women and twice as mauy half-grown boys. The goate—tremendous fellows, with ter- rible horns and exaggerated tempers— were brought to the ground, tied by the feet and hauled in a wagou, They were lifted out and put in a small pen adjoin- ing the fighting arena, when their lash- ings were cut loose and their -captors took hastily to feuce, out of harm’s reach. The animals wero to be left in* their pen until after dinner, by which time it was believed that their circula- tion would be fully restored and their stiffened limbs again return to their natural elasticity. The bear was in the pen, and as he had been given nothing to et since the day before, he was in a ferocious humor. Old Withers and the crowd collected 1n the yard in front of the house and lay in the shade, talking and joking and eating their lunch, which they washed down with an occa- sional touch of the contents of suspi- cious looking jugs. e At 1 o’clock preparations were made for the fight. A'luug pole, twenty feetin length, with a slipnoose of chain in its center, was brought out. The noose was let down between the cracks in the bear’s pen, where, after considerable trouble, it was at last caught about his neck. The roof of the pen and one end were then torn out and four strong men at each end of the pole dragged and pulled the bear to the opening in the pit, where he wus firmly fastened to & chain about thirty feet long, which in turn was fastened to a stake in the center of the arena, after which the noose was slackened and pulled over the bear’shead. Evervehing now being ready, the bars separating the pen were let down. The bear was in a terrible rage, and tore about the pen, trying in vain to break his chain and get at the moun- taineers. The goats wore alsoin an exag- sernted state of mind and in fit con- ition to fight at the drop of a hat, As soon asthe bars were down the goats trotted through into the main pen, buy upon catching’ sight of the bear they hesitated, whistled and stamped their feet, while the hair on their backs rose stiff and straight. Meanwhile the bear had got sight of his enemies, and as he was hungry he made straight for them the full length of his chain. This open challenge for a fight was not to beig- aored. One old fellow; the patriarc Vf the gang, lowered his head and made 8 bound and before the bear knew what was coming a bombshell of hores, legs and feet struck him such a terrific blow in the stomach that he keeled over and lay flat on his back. The other goats were not far behind their leader when they let him have it, one hitting him on the rump and the other in the side. These hard raps stirred up the bear's already sour temper, and he quickly got on bis feet just as one of the goats made a second rush at him. Just as the billy got within reuch bruin let fly o paw and sent the goat rolling and tumbling twenty feet away, but he wasn’t quick enough to avoid the next one, which gave him a jam between the ribs that made him enarl and whine. The third one let him have a eracker in the side, but didn’t get awa; in time to avoid a blow from the left duke of the bear, which sent him tumbling after No. 1. By this time No. 1 had regained his feet, and, with a wicked blink, he again went hammer and tongs. He struck the bear squarely between the forelegs, and over went ont and bear, the goat getting a wipe rom the sharp claws which laid open in his side a guv of six inches. Before Bruio could reguin his feet and wind he ot two more rib-roasters, which nocked him flatter thun a dry town in Missouri. The last round "hurt the bear termbly uud he howled with pain and rage. It now began to look as though the gonu were 5omg 10 have a walk over, ut Bruin, finding it hard lines to whip three such ¢ cusses in the open, obanged . He backed away the length of his chain, which brought him close to the feuce, aud preveated the hairy torpedoes from e&thg him in the rear. When he got near the end of his chain the bear laid down on his back and brought his four feet close together, making a huge, black, woolly bunch, which the goats all chared at once. The three goats arrived at their destination about the samo time, but they were met in a different manner this time. The clawsof the bear flew outward, striking two of his enemies, ripping one of them wide olmn. while the other received a terrible clawin, about the neck. The disembowelle billy struggled to his feet and made one last effort for revenge. He sprang at the bear and struck him squarely in the face, but it was his last effort. Another rip from the black paws and he was a defunct billy. By tnis time the bear had been so thoroughly drubbed and banged that he was in a sorry condition, but his enemies were no better off. The living goats were both badly cut up, but their tempers were still peppery, and they determined to fight it out if it took all summetr. They now changed their tactics, one taking one side of the bear and the other the opposite. For a few minutes it was hard to tell which was the bear and which was the goats, ns the kaleidoscoyic twirl of horns, hair and wool were intermingled in one miscellaneous bunch. When business adjourried for a recess only one goat toed the scratch. The other one was Jying across the body of the bear doad as the reputation of a politician, while the bear himself seemed to have lost all interest in the affair and only wanted to be let alone to commune with nature. Both animals were nearly gone, but a few minutes’ rest brought them avound sufficient to finish the game, und as both were determined to conquer it was soon brought to a conclusion. With a last effort the bear struggied to his feet and rose half upon his haunches, after throwing aside the dead goat, and waited. He didn't have o wait long, the last of the billies was ready. The goat pawed the ground, ve a faint whistle of rage and sprang at the faint- ing enemy, striking him in the pit of the stomach and knocking him over on his back, where he lay without a move- ment. [t was now apparent the bear was done for, and the partisans of the goat side of the fight gave a cheer of victory and two of them climbed the fence to sponge down their champion, but when they pulled them apart they found that both were dead, the bear having had the life knocked out of him in the last charge, while the goat’s neck was broken by the bear’s paw just as they came together. The result of the fight was three dead goats and one dead bear. All bets were declared off, but as every- body had enjoyed the novel affair hugefy no dissatisfabtion was expressed. b2 prrmti e ‘What you need 18 a medicine which is pure, efficient, relinble.

George Miller,aged twenty-five years, driver of car No. 170of the Grand street line,had an experience with an electr] light wire in Chrystic street yesterday morning that he will not soon forget, as it is a miracle that he is alive to-day. Miller, who lives at No. 436 East Thir- teenth street, was driving westward through Chrystie street at about 10 o’clock, a Second avenue car just pre- ceding him, At No. 246 Chrystie street a covered electric-light wire dangled in a loop so low across-the street that it grazed the top of the Second avenue box-car. When Miller came to the spot, seeing how near the horses the wire hung, he stop- ped the car and, taking his car-hook, caught the wire in the loop and pulled, intending to tear it down, but the next instant he was hurled from the car. Whether in his efforts to pull the wire down he Lad scraped the insuiation from the wire, or whether it came 1n contact with ancther wire is not exactly known, but a current of electricity that left the iron hook was so strong that the poor fellow, with both hands on the hook, struggled and writhed in agony. His face showed plainly that he suffered terribly, but all effort on his part to let go proved futile. There he hung as if his hands were glued to the ivon, kicking and gesticu- lating wildly, while the muscles on his face, neck and hands stuck out like whip cords. Just then one man, of the whole crowd of people that had been at- tracted to the spot by Mil- ler’s gyrations, came to his res- cue. He was Mr. Langdon, of No. 54 Kent avenue, Brooklyn. Seizing Miller around the body with one hand und the hook with the other he tore him away by muin force, but in so doing be him- self also received a terriffc shock. Once free from the grasp of the current Miller fell unconscious to the street, and an ambulance was summoned. The surgeon soon had Miller suffi- ciently restored to enable him to pro- cged to the depot in the car with an- other driver, and from there he was sent home to receive further medical attention. .Both of his hands across the fingers are badly burned, and every muscle in his body from his head down was as sore as if he had Eone through a threshing machine, and although his injuries are only temporary it will be some days before he entirely recovers. Shortly after the incident a telegraph lineman came along and removed the danger. — . Catarrh cured, health and sweet breath secured by Shiloh’s Catarrh Remedy. Price 50 cents. Nasal Injector free.

A Desperate Fight Between an Ele- phantand a Rhinoceros on a Steamer. “I have seen a great deal of the world, and have braved many a storm at sea, and never felt the least tremor,” said an old sailor to a New York World reporter, the other day, *‘but I am will- ing to confess I was frightened on one occasion, and braver men than I trem- bled in their boots. It was about fifteen years ago, and I was a sailor on one of the steamers which were employed to transport John Robinson’s great World’s Exposition. As we neared a litile port on the Ohio river near West Virginia, I was on the upper deck, when, looking below, I saw the sailors and the keepers of the ani- mals running helter-skelter, and heard an unusual commotion. I quickly hur- ried below, and found men, women and children running wildly to and fro, frantically shouting to the other steam- ers, while at the same time there arose a series of shrieks, screeches, yells and bowls, as1if the inmatesof pandemonium were let loose. - *The people who had collected on the shore to see the flect as it approached, were unable to make out the strauge behavior of those on board the steamer, ut, eurmising that everything was not right among the animals in the menag- erie, they very quickly concluded that the open levee was no place for them should any of the furious monsters wake their way to the land, and uickly dispersed in great consterna- tloo. Just about this time, signale.of distress were hoisted, whic| were uickly responded to by two steamer as short distance away, '{‘he,y both ranged ‘or work. alongside of our steamer, when they were informed that an awful battle was raging between the huge double-horned rhinoceros and the monster war ele- Phant. Old Emperor. As soon as the adies and children could be trans- ferred to the new steamers the entire crews of all three steamers were or- dered below to endeavor to separate the combatants, **As the portion of the main deck just off the boilers was reached, a horribly sickening sight met their vie ‘Wounded, bleeding and horribly lacer: ated men were lying whero they had been stricken by the terrvible brutes dead, wounded and dying horses and ponies strewed the deck in every direc- tion; cages destroyed and literally smashed into fragments were scattered among the dead, wounded and dying, and the terrible din, shrieks, grunts and groans nluhflf' told them that the badtle was fiercely raging. It scemed as if every cage on the boat would be totally destroyed,and all efforts to separate the savage denizens of the forest proved unavailing. At this juncture a loud crash was heard and the two cages containing the monster sea lions and the Labrador seals were driven overboard. M. Robinson seemed to be very cool aud collocted for a mar who was witnessing the destruc- tion of his property at wholesale rate, incurring the loss the thousands of dol< lars at every mnew onset. When he saw his sea lions and seals dashed overboard, however, he decided that patience was no longer a virtue and ordered the combatants fired upon. A heavy volley was dis- charged which had no other effect on the monsters, now thoroughly aroused, than to make them fight all the more furiously. The situation was getting every moment more dangerous for all on board, and the proprietors had al- most despaired of ever separating them when it occurred to some one on board to open the steam pipes and deluge them with steam. “The engineer was instructed to turn on the steam, and as 1t suddenly caped from the boiler with a territic roar, the elephant was heard to give a shrill, trumpeting seveech, such as they always utter in erying for mercy when conquered in their own wils Whether the animal had received its death blow from the rhinoceros or was frightened into submission by the stean could not be ascertained until it had cleared away, which it did in a few moments, disclosing to the astonished gaze of the showmen acurious and gratifying sight. There lay the elephanton the deck, cow- ering and trembling, uttering moans of puin and fright, while a little beyond was the rhinocerous, snugly ensconced in his cage, quaking and shivering with fear where he had retreated the instant the steam was opened on him. The attendants sprang quickly for- ward, and closed and bolted the door of his cage, thus securing themselves from further molestation from him. The horses, ponies and smaller animals that had been killed in the battle were cast overboard, the deck w: v and quiet once more restoved, of the hardest battles ever witn between animals on the water.” Will you suffer with d liver complaint?

And we frequently get valuable items from her. At this season of the year lice are u great pest, and do more than anything else to de- feat success in this busin. If a set- ting hen is infested with lice, she 13 so annoyod that she has neither peace or patience. She rears about on her nest until she breaks some of her ogs, by which the balance are smeared over, stopping the pores of the egg- shell, thereby killing the incipi- ent chicken, and preventing it hatch- ing. But it is understood that greasing a hen on her breast and under her wings with lard will kill or drive away the lice. But this must not be done with a setting hen, as the grease will get on the eggs, fill the pores and pre- vent hatching. At this period either Persian Insect powder or flour of sul phur should be used to dust the hens. After the chickens are hatched, wet a sponge with coal oil and give the hens a light sponging with it, not too heavily. Or at this period the back of the heads of the chicks and the breast and under the wings of the hen can be rubbed with lard. Young chickens should be kept a dvy as possible from rains and dews until theyare feathered. But refrain as much as possible from close confinement. In- dolence and idleness is destructive to all animal life, whether it be man, ani- mal or fowl. They must have exercise Hence it is important that chickens, or hens, should be fed so that it will be some work to procure their food. It is a good thing for one chicken to catch a lump of food and run with 1t, pursued by others. When hens and roosters are cooped, either in winter or summer, it is good to give them some of their corn on the cob, so it will be exercise to pick it off. Or if shelled grain be fed, let it be in tne straw and litter in the house or coop, g0 they will have to scratch for 1t. The roosters as well as the hens must have exercise or the eggs wil not be fer- tile enough to hatch. Cleanliness is absolutely necessary for fowls. Pure water should be kept in their reach. Carbolated powder should be frequently sprimkled on coop flloors. Chicken houses must be kept clea; Rheumatism, EING due to the presence of uric acid in the blood s most effectually cured by the use of Ayer's Sargapas rilla.
