of Cincinnati. Ito is olio of thu noted

or two , and is largely interested in
Tlio Gazetlo. Mr. Htilbcrt laid thu
mpcr down and aid :
"I owned Muiid S. for n wrek once.
Captain .1. Ungher , an old river man ,
who came np tlio Monon ahela liver ,
was n friend of mine. Ho was a itruat
horseman , and ono day wo went over
to n sale of blooded colts at Alexan
der's farm , at Woodbnrn. Ky.
Ihipher bonyht eleven colts and then
it began to rain in torrents. Wo
stood under nn umbrella as tlio la.st
colt on the catalogue was brought out.
She was
A PRETTY , imtllltr-LOOKlNO TII1NO ,
and I told Hngher ho had butter buy
her. Ho said ho had bought enough ,
and 1 concluded I would take her my
self , and so I n've ' 8M5 for her. 1
put her in with ] 5ngher's _ colts , ami
they were all sent to his f.inn. About
a week after Una 1 went to the farm
and asked where my colt was.
IJugher showed mo a little , nervous-
looking sorrel colt , which had a piece
of stiiny tied around its neck.
Ho said that that was my
colt. and that the string
had been put on it in order to distin
guish it. It did not look to mo as if
it was the colt I luil bonghtj and I
said so , but Bugher was positive , and
let it go until the next time wo went
out to the farm. I remembered then
that my colt was u bay , ' and not a
sorrel , and I told Dughcr B' > , and ho
confessed that he had been mistaken ;
so 1 took the bay and 1'tigher took
the sorrel , and that's where I made a
mistake. Tlio sorrel was Maud S.
and the bay was her sister. Maud
has trotted in 2:08 : , and the sister
can't trot under three minutes.
Bugher put the colt into Bair's
hands to train when she was three
years old , and in a short time she did
magnificent work. Old man 15ugher _
died , and his son gave orders to Hair
to sell the mare for 5350. liair came
to mo a dox.cn times and wanted mete
to buy her. Ho said she was the
fastest thing in the way of horseflesh
there was in the country , but I did
tot care about making the purchase.
After a while
*
STONE HOUOHT THE MARK
for § 350 and allowed Bair to manage
her. Slip showjod.Bo much speed that
Vanderbilt heard of her and wanted
to buy her. Stone said lie would soil
for 921,000 , § 20,000 for himself and
$1,000 for Bair , provided the mare
trotted in 2:18. : She was put on the
Lexington track , and made the inilo
in 2:17J : , which was just Dexter's
time. Vanderbilt bought her and put
her in charge of a man who could not
do anything with her. Ho treated
her roughly and she would not trot.
Vanderbilt wrote To Stone and said'
"I bought that mare for $21,000 , and
she can't trot in 2:35. : I don't want
to bo called an ass What shall I do
about it ? " Stone replied that if the
mare was sent to him to train , ho
would make her the fastest trotter in
the world , and ho did. Only a
few "weeks ago iv man named
Woodmansee , who represented some
St. Louis men , wont to Vanderbilt
and offered him a certified check for
§ 100,000 for Maud , but Vanderbilt
only laughed and said aho was not for
sale and that is the nervous little
sorrel colt that ho would not keep"
and Mr. Ilulbert softly rubbed .hia
chin and looked at mo with a queer
smile that spoke volumes.
"You Baid she trotted in 2:08 : , " said
I ; "do you not mean 2:10i. : "
"
"No , sir , " said Mr" Ilulbert ,
promptly. "It is well known that the
mare can trot in U07 ; , and what is
more , she has trotted a inilo on n
regular track on two different occa
sions. Of course , it was in private
and not on record , but ttho was timed
by competent men with stojj watches. "
Killed by n Catixmotiut.
Bradford ( Pa. ) Era.
In The Era of Saturday morning we
published a brief account of the kill
ing , of L. I'almitor , of Hamilton town
ship , tliis county , by a catamount or
panther , as tlio .animal is variously
known , on the 27th of Juno , Since
then wo hayo been enabled to learn
additional particular of the singular
tragedy irom a icsident of the town-
flliip , who viflited the HCOIIO. Mr.
J'almitor wan a farmer , and the sec'
tion in which ho lived ia one of tin
wildest in McKean. In the deep _ for
est aomo miles from Mr. Palmitor'e
homo is a doer lick , which is still fre
quented by those animals , despite thu
inroads made upon their number b }
local sportsmen and the encroach-
incuts upon old haunts by civilisation.
On the afternoon of the day above
mentioned the old gentleman announc
ed to hia family his intention of watch
ing tin's deer lick , and taking hit
trusty ritle , departed , it is fair to pre
sume , with the object of getting n
shot at n iat buck , although thu game
laws do not countenance mich snoit at
this time of Iho j ear. Old reeiduntH ,
however , arc not prone to regard such
regulations ; considering them more
especially designed to protect giiinc
from the wanton assaults of amateur
sportsmen. Ho did not return that
niuht , a circumstimco which caused
his family no great uneasiness , as Mr.
Pahniter was not too feeble to regard -
gard camping out alone as a hardship ,
When the day was far spent , however
and still the absentee did not appear ,
hia relatives became anxious and
thought some misfortune might have
befallen him , and his brother set out
to look him up. Ho made his way to
tlio deorhck by tho. shortest course
and with all possible haste , but tin
sun was scttting as he approached UK
loneaomu spot. It was in the midst
of dense woods , through which ran n
purling stream , that ho , at last
halted and called hia brother' *
name , but only an ech < -
hooted in return , as though in du <
rision. In the soft earth at the odgi
of the brook ho euw the imprints of
doers' hoofs , and finally c.nuo upon
the well-defined impression of .1 hu
man foot where its owner had stepped
across the water. On the other side
of the brook were other traces of
n man's presence , such as would only
bo noticed by a woodsman's keen eye ,
and following this imperfect trail ho
was led to a sort of natural atnphi-
theater surrounded by brush and
fallen trees , as though tlio place had
been visited by a whirlwind. A
broken bush covered with blood ftt.
tr.ictod liis attention , and 'ookin ' over
it ho daw iiilie lying on the r.'imd. '
Mr. 1'almiler picked it np and rocou-
nizcd it as the time-honored aim be
longing to his brother , The Kirrel
was partially separated from Iho Ht < .cl ,
as though by a violent blow. A oil-
lapsed cap on the nipnlo indicated
that n charge had been fired.
A honible misgiving uoiml Mr.
Pahniter as ho looked upon uliat
seemed to be the mute wilnew to a
woodland tr.igedy , and , sick at heart ,
ho continued to Roarch. Ho did not
have far to 150. Stepping OUT a log
at one side of the natural incl sur ,
tvhich seemed to bo i\ sort of wstihulo
o the deer lick , ho atmnbled upon the
sarcass of u great c.it-liko animal , such
as ha hnd seen in the early daj s of
the settlement , butnovetof laloyc.irs ,
It was a catamount of largo size , such
as no hunter would care to meet alone
n the woods. Several wounds showed
hat ho had died hard , and it loooked
itill hideous in death. A few foot
away lay a human figure , paltly cover
ed with bloody rags , and showing in
.lie denuded pnrts tlio marks of teni
ble claws. It was lying on its face ,
nit Mr. I'almitor know now the worst ,
and was not surprised , as ho tmii"dit
: > ver to see the ghastly face of his
Brother. One stillened hand hold a
uintiiig-knife , bloody to the hilt , and
n the other was a handful of grass
torn np by the loots , as though in su
preme agony. The unfortunate man
was partially disemboweled and
"ndeed his whole body showed fearful
nutilatinn , while his set features wore
A look of great augtfish. Ilia dead ad
versary had n bullet hole in the shoul
der and several stabs in the neuk and
body. It was , easy for the alllicted
brother to fathom the exact
nature of the cruel struggle.
As Mr. Pahniter lay watching at
thu lick the catamount was also watch
ing , and , mad with hunger , as shown
by his emaciated body , had selected
human prey instead of deer , and
sprang upon him. The man attacked
was enabled to got ono shot at the
ravenous beast , when it knocked the
rillo from his hands and grappled
with him. The struggle must have
been fierce and protracted , as the
ground for some distance around was
covered with blood , until mortally
wounded , the combatants separated
by mutual consent to wrestle with the
death agony. The catamount mcutaured
five feet six inches in length and was
over twenty inches high.

Atlantic Clt.\ Letter to Chlcr o Times.
The only thing that lends additional
interest to this daily programme is the
gossip of f.ho piazzas , in which an oc
casional romance comes out. And
when a story gota started it travels
very fast , and every little ' bit of gos
sip ia turned over and 'over like a
sweet morsel under thu tongue until
it reaches stupendous proportions. I
was told a very pretty little romance
last iiiylit while pausing for a moment
in the ball room of ono of thu larger
hotels. The room was brilliantly
lighted and the waltz was at ita mer
riest. A companion pointed to a
couple gliding by us. The man was
tall and handsome , and-well , never
mind him. The man doesn't amount
to anything anyway. It is the woman
in thu case that ia interesting. She
was dressed in a very beautiful white
satin which looked for all the world
as if it illicit havu been a wedding
dress. She was pretty as a picture
a perfect blonde with light golden
hair. She was graceful to a fault.
"Yes , " aaid my friend , us wo
sought the piazza and lighted our
cigar , "she is a most beautiful dancer
and ono of the pruttieot girls 1 over
saw. I think very few hero know
her history. She married a barber ,
and that was the man you saw her
dancing with. "
"And that was her wedding dress
that shu was dancing in/ / " I asked , as
the vision of the beautiful girl in her
white , shining attire came before my
eyes. "
"Well , no , " laughed my friend.
"There wan hardly time to get up n
trousseau. It was an elopement. Her
father is very rich. Ho livoa np the
Hudson river somewhere within easy
range of the city , with a mansion in
Now York in the winter. This man
ran a nort of fashionable hair dressing
saloon , and the girl used to drive ( n
his place to havu her hair dressed. Hu
ia a linu looking fellow , as yon have
seen , and by HOIUO of thouo curious
caporo which love cuts sometimes , uhu
fell desperately in love with him and
ho witli her. Ho had made HOIIIU
money I guess lib was prutty well oil
in his business , but the rich old
millioimho never would have con
sented to the marriage in the world ,
and thu girl know it. Shu was rather
romantic , too , and didn't at all dislike
to create a sensation , HO they planned
an elopement. They might hayo skin
ned oil' in thu daytime well unuui , ' ) ) ,
but that wasn't ' half romantic enough.
This waa early last summer , when the
family was at their Hudson river
home. Well , one night the girl Mid
down stairs , shut the door carefully
afler her , and , hidden in long
diiHtur and thick veil , bo that
no olio could lecognizo her ,
joined her lover , und the two
drove awuy in a covered carriage ,
They boaided a train on the Hudson
Itivur niilroad , and befoiu midnight
were married and on the way to Phil-
adolphia. It was done rk'ht < jp in
style , and thuro was no hitch. The
next day thu parcntfl up thu Hudson
discovered that thu bird had flown , A
note left behind told thu tale and left
the information that the newly-mar
ried couple could bo found at the Con
tinental hotel in Philadelphia. And
there they wuru found. Thu old man
posted in as fast as express trains
could carry him. Jint ho was too late.
Ho ruvod around for a while , and
finally concluded that if ho disowned
hia daughter it would create a bigger
scandal than the elopement , BO he
made thu bent of it , Thu elopement
was covered up an much as possible ,
and the old man had it given out thai
( ho marriat'o had received his sanction
when first contemplated , TIiu halt
hair-dresaing saloon was closed , Jt
wni said the proprietor h.id made a
larjto fortune at it and that \\asonly

The Now Bathing Dross.
rhtladolihU | Times.
Once on a time ladies who went to
the sea-shore had bathing suits made
for tlio purpose of going into the wator.
Thu bathing dress was a kind of thing
that would not spoil if it got wot. It
wasn't anywhere near aa handsome as
it waa useful , and when a lady put
ono of these things on she was pretty
certain to go 8kimmingdo\vntho ) | beach
like a frightened fawn and put herself
out of sight in thu nurf. That sort of
bathing dress vvas-too horrible"lorrid
for anything , and an organized J preju
dice has been operating agains t it for
a long time. It became evident to the
fair bathers that something in the
way of a bathing dress that did not
compel thu wearer to bathe , would
have to bo devised. That thing has
been accomplished and has reached
its highest development thin year.
The bathing suit of this season is
made of almost any Id ml of atuff , but
that which will not wash seems to bo
preferred. This does not matter be
cause it is not calculated that the
bathing miit of thu period ahull get
wet. The blouse has shirred pieces
extending clown eauh side of thu front
of thu waist and is fitted at thu waistline -
line by buvural rows of shirring , This
is what the fashion writers nay.
Around thu bottom of the blouse is a
flounce with six rows of pulling. A
liiriri ) sailor collar ornaments thu neck
and the very short sleeves are orna
mented with pnflings The trousers
which go with this suit uro just ele
gant and sweet enough to make
you lese your head when you
hco them. They are finished
with flounces and millings and such
things to confusn and bother the com
mon mind in the most dreadful way.
Where the trousurs leave off a bril
liantly colored silk stocking hugina
and goea on down to the end of tla
toes , but ia par tly taken in by
a perfectly lovely nandal , with charm
ing French heels , which makes any
foot look three or four fii/.os smaller
iluvn it really is. With this costume
you can wear a lace collar and twelve-
button kids of any color to match tin
material , but nearly all colors ajiiiro-
priatu for bathing dresses will admit
of white kids , which are more stylish.
Thosu who wear these bathing
dresses must bo very careful not to
got them wet. They are not intended
for the water. They make almost
perfect costumes for promonding on
the beach and gathering ( diulls and
running oil' with u Hcruam at the sight
ot a hvo clam , and to ruclino in thu
sun on thu sand , and do whole lot of
things except go near the water. It
ia extremely absurd to think of going
into the water in a bathing dress that
is at all np to thu style , and nobody
dieaiiiH of such a thing. Thu really
fashionable people who go to the HCU-
where , do their bathing in tubs. They
sun UiumKulves in the shirred and
puffed and flounced bathing dresses.
