Edward Buck against John Dullman, a saloon keeper on Central avenue. The dispute was tin ownership of the dog. The witnesses for both parties had been examined when Dr. Buck arose and stated that he desired to introduce two more witnesses who had not yet been heard. He was granted the privilege, where upon Constable Isinael brought from a rear room, where tbe; were confined since their seizure by tbe officer, two tine, large English mastiffs. Tbe doctor introduced them as Dane and Hector and requested that they be sworn. Tbe squire looked up in astonishment but Dr. Buck insisted, so the magis trate, appreciating the situation, orderered the animals to raise their i right "hand." Instantly both dogs arose on their hind feet and raised the right paw just like a human being. Dr. Buck then handed a paper containing several directions and questions to the court. The first read: "Hector, stand up." This was put by the squire, where upon the dog Hector arose as before, but without raising his paw. The i.ime happened when Dane was told to arise. The next read: "Where is your master:' This was put to each dog in turn, and in each instance the animal walked back to Dr. Buck, who had gone to a far corner, and fawning upon him gave a short bark and re turned to iiis place before the squires rostrum. Then the question, "Where is Dane?" was put to one dog, who turned his head, looked straight at Dane and gave a short bark. The same performance was gone through by Dane cornering Hector. Upcn this the defense moved that the dog farce le ruled out of the proceedings, bat Squire Tyrrell overruled tbe motion. A judgment in favor of Dr. Buck was then given by the court and the dogs turned over to him. She Killed the Hear. Grand Haven, Mich., Not. 19. An unusually thrilling story of the hair breadth escape of an Indianna hunter is reported here. Bears have become quite numerous in the vicinity of Sullivan, a smill lumber town on the Muskegon, Grand Rapids & Indiana railrr!, southeast of Muskegon, so much so that hunters have been at tach A there this fall from all unctions of the country. A party of 1'diana hunters went in there last .e and built camps and settled down for a month's hunt. On Saturday last one of the party succeeded in starting a bear and two cubs from a jungle, and after an hour or so overtook them on the edge of a clearing, in which a small woodsman's shanty was located. He carried a double-barreled gun, and with it shot the two cubs dead in their tracks. Tbe old bear, instead of run ning off, as would naturally be ex pected, pitched upon him in a desper arte spirit of revenge for tbe loss of her cubs. He attempted to defend himself with a small Indian hatchet, but she knocked it out of his band, closed in upon him and in a moment more weald have squeezed out his life had not a well-aimed bullet from a rifle in the hands of a woodman's wife, who happened to witness the fray plowed through bruin's brain. The rifle used by the woman was one that her husband kept loaded in the shanty She had never shot a gun before in her life, and was prostrated several houis from the shock to her nervous system caused by tbe excitement. The woman was handsomely rewarded for ber brave act. Swept from Kxbtaaee. Bedbtjd, 111., Nov. 19 Where ex isted a beautiful little town full of happy homes is a scene of wreck and desolation. Houses, barns, fences and orchards are leveled to the ground and spread over the surrounding country. At 3:30 yesterday morning a cyclone 100 yards across struck the town ex tending from the south. It first de molished the Catholic church and school, and the residence of Herman Drage. The German Lutheran church was next leveled to the ground. After destroying several barns and bearing away all kinds of fences It next at tacked the large tow-story residence of Peter Kendall, which was of solid stone and crumbled it to fragments. Mrs. Kendall was severely injured. A large . double brick house occupied by D. D. Perr as a dwelling, office and compos ing room of the Uedbud Democrat was entirely destroyed. The family were burled in tbe ruins, but managed to extricate themselves without serous in jury. Peterson's agricultural warehouse was blown down and fourteen other real, dene were destroyed. The 11-years-oU son of Mrs1. Jacob Koch was killed intently and his mother waa fatally in jured.

Pottsville, P , Nov. 21. A cave in occurred this mon.iu? at the Hazel DeU colliery at Ceulr&lia, operated by L. A. Kiley & Co., whereby seven or eight men are now imprisoned in the mine, besides two others who have been taken out badly injured. Tbe colliery is situated about two miles from Ashlaud and is a very large concern. The former operators of the Hazel Dell and Frick work ciaira that the Umbering there is rotten. This, it is feared, had considerable to do with the cave-in. Everything was moveing along as isual in the Hazel Dell works this norning and no sign of danger were risible until 10 o'clock, when a crack ing in the roof of tbe mine was heard ind the few pillars remaining iu that part of the mine started to run, and be fore the miners could reach . places of lafety the roof fell in. CAME LIKE A FLASH. Those who escaped say that the mddeness of he cave-in gave them no :inie to do. anything but fly for their lives. Very narrow escapes were nade by Ira Rothermel and his son William. The former had a leg broken ind is otherwise injured, while his son is badly battered. They say that shortly before they fired a rather heavy iliot, which started a pillar of coal running and at the same tuie started a large body of water in which had accumulated in a breach from yester lay's storm. As the pillar rau and the .vater forced its way through, it rouglu the roof with it and at the ame time came in so great a volume 'hat it was ahead of the Hothermels 100 yards to the mouth of the drainage tunnel, at which point they were rescued. BUT ONE EXIT. The only exit fro n the part of the workings in whichoccurred thecave-in was the point where the fall occurred, ind as the mammoth vein is forty live feet thick and about 3(W feet from ihe suface, it was calculated by practical miners that there were 7U0 feet of coal to be cut through before tbe men can be reached. The work oi rescue was under the direction of superintendent Edward Williams. TerrlHe Cjclonf. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 21. A terrific cyclone, destroying life ami property, passed through the southern portion of Boone county last night about midnight. So far as known the storm began on Gaither mountain and became violent the moment it de scended to the lowlands. Property of every description was destroyed that happened to in the 200 yards bath, i he ' cyclone . moved in an easterly and northeasterly direction. Houses, trees, fences, everything movable, collapsed and was annihilated. Horror was added to the situation by the heavy downpour of rain which drowned much stock. A Dynamite Hoinb. Lisbon, Nov. 21. A dynamite bomb exploded yesterday outside the residence of Count Felgosso, president of the committee organized to give a brilliant reception to the king and queen upon their return from Madrid. The house was damaged and all the windows shattered, but nobody was hurt. Will Tax Brandy and Be r Berlin, Nov. 21. The Keichean piger yesterday states that measures to cover the increased expenditures in volved by the army bill will be sub mitted to the Bundesrath. These measures will provide for increased taxation on beer and brandy and will double tbe present taxation on house transactions, the whole producing an increase of 58,000,000 marks. The tax on tobacco will not be increased. Thrown out of Court. Denver, CoL, Nov. 21. A suit which has attracted wide attention among the people owning and conduct ing amusements was finally thrown out of court in this city. About two years ago the single tax association leased the Tabor opera house for one eveuing, at which time Henry George delivered an address. The treasurer of the local organization is a black man, and after he had taken his seat he was forcibly ejected from the bouse by the ushers. For this he brought suit for $10,000 damages. The court yesterday held that the ushers were in the employ of people who leased the bouse and not the owners of the theatre. An appeal to the supreme court will be taken. Another Failure. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 2i. B. F. Rynd, a lumber merchant of Allegbuey City, failed. The liabilities are 0125, 000; Assets not yet known. The cause of the failure is not known, it is claimed that several forged checks are held against him. but bis relatives deny the charge and say that his mind is un hinged. Rynd has left the city on ac count of IU health. Tbe failure was totally unexpected and created a small panic among lumber dealers. A num ber of firms in New ork, Massachusetts and Illinois are heavy losers, as are se veral PitUburg merchants. Voaadan old laoiaa Treaty, WinnaMac, "JtjoV.Not. 21. Walter A.

Cheyenne, Wyo Nov. 18 The report of the grand jury in the United States circuit court for Wyoming yes terday terminated one of the compli cations arising out of the late "rustler" war in this state. After the invasion, suits commenced in the federal courts by the big stockmen against forty small stockmen, or so-called rustlers of Jthnson county, to restrain them from holding so-ealled illegal round-ups. While on his way to serve process on these suits George Wellman, a deputy United States marshal, was assassina ted. Frank Smith one ot the "defen dants in the injunction suits, while in Cheyenne a few weeks later, was arrested on a charge of conspiracy to deprive Henry A. Blair of Chicago,, one of the plaintiffs in the suit, of his right under the United Mates law. I Smith was held a month in jail without shearing. Then his bail was fixed at: the excessixe sum of 140,000. He furnished this but was held up in jail a week and was rearrested as soon as ; released on the charge of conspiracy, to kill deputy marshal. Habeas corpus proceedings were commenced by Smith's attorney before Judge liiner of the federal court, and Smith was dis charged. He w as again arrested and n the hearing held without bail. Yesterday the case came before the; United States crand jury, which re- turned "not a true bill" on indictments against Smith. Smith will at once commence civil suits against several prominent stock men here for false imprisonment. An investigation of the proceedings by which he was held for a month with out a hearing and by which excessive bail was demanded will be commenced by the department of justice at Wash ington. The question of the constitu tionality of the Wyoming round-up law will be tested at tbe present term of the federal court! , Tried lor Jfnraer.

Washington, D. C, j8. Acting Secretary Spaulding of the treasury has issued a circular to the collectors of customs in regard to the entry of vessels carrying imigrants. According to the circular the department has ri ceived authentic assurances that the danger of cholera Infection still exists and the measures of the precaution which have been heretofore observed cannot be materially relaxed without imperiling the public safety. The objections to the unrestricted admis sion of steerage imigrants do not apply to vessels in which the steerage is occupied by the limited number of citizens and residents of the United States and their families, who are! likely to avail themselves of the! cheaper fares afforded by steerage( tickets iu returning to this country.) A Cry oi Fire. Wallace, Neb., Nov. 18.--,Some,of the boys anxious for a lively time, hauled two wagons loaded with hay into the public square and rolling a barrel of kerosene underneath them and touched a match. Cry of lire rang through the streets and in a few moments the .entire town was on the square. Quiry being madt as to the origin of the fire Chrisl Jaeckel accused Nay Hellington of the deed. At this llellinger became enraged and a lively fight followed m which knives were used freely, Hellington receivingtwo deepgashes in the stomaeh and one iu the back which; it is feared will prove fatal. Jaeckel is still at large. Hitter Mlafortune. Marsha letown, la., Nov. 18. Bitter misfortune has befallen the family of ex-Sheriff John S. Ilixson of of this county. He retired from ottice last January with a splendid record and enjoying the highest esteemof all parties. He owned one of the finest farms in this region, but that and con siderable other property and his salary have all been swept away by the. debts that no one can account for., A few weeks ago he and his wife parted. Last Monday be left the country for Arkansas and yesterday Mrs. Hixson's reason was dethroned, she being found wandering about the. county in a deplorable condition.! Hixson's alleged intimacy with another, woman and a wayward son's escapades doubtless caused her mind to give way., it is alleged that this son killed a gam-' bier in Texas and served a term in the penitentiery or that state. The announcement caused a sensation here as tbe family stood very high. asked U: don't kllOW. puv-u, Mr. liumbelle bank in com pan i Bradshavv and on my return I found, her like this."
