The mountaineers of this section nro
always ready to lay work osldo and BOO
a fight of any kind the bloodier the
bolter. But it fell to the lot of old Bill
Withers , nn old hunter , nnd Sam Sml-
i loy , ono of his neighbors , to vary the
monotony recently with something
entirely unique. Last winter Withers
captured a full grown black boar in a
trap , writes a correspondent for the
Now York World from Dry Run , Pocahontas -
hontas county , W. Vn. Ho penned the
animal in a strong log atructuro nnd
kept it in good condition , but It was so
fierce that he could never do anything
with it , nnd ho was about to kill it ,
when ono day not long ngo , old Smiley
cnmo along.
Smlloy was the proud owner of a trio
ot the meanest and crossust billy goats
that over chewed a tomato can or broke
up n country school. Ho had often
tried to give thorn away , but nobody
would have thorn , although half the
pcoplo in the district had threatened to
shoot-thorn on sight. This was the con
dition of things when Smiley rode UD
to Withers' house , where , ns n matter
pf course , it being n generally idle
time , the conversation turned upon the
Bubjoct of something in the way of sport.
Suddenly a bright thought struck Smi
ley.
" Bill " said ho "I'll toll
"Say , , , you
what I'll do. "I'll bet my saddle horse
ngln your roan mare that I have three
old billy goats which kin lick that bar
o' yourn.
"Great thundorP'said Bill , "I'll take
thot bot. I know yer domed goats knnt
keep the files off'n him ; but it'll bo fun
for the bovs. When shill the fight cum
off ? "
"Loss see , " said Smlloy. introspectively -
tivoly ; "It'll take maybe a week to
ketch them goats and build a big pen to
fight in atid get the news to the nabors.
This is Tuesday ; say next Thursday
week. How'll ' that suitr1"
It was agreed that Thursday of the
following week should bo the tlmo , and
the place was fixed atnspoton Withers'
farm , ns it was supposed there would bo
more trouble in getting the bear than
The goats to the ground. During the
week Smiley and Withers had notified
the neighbors , who sot to with ti will to
assist. The goats were trapped the
only safe way to got the pugnacious
brutes and n big rail pen , about
seventy foot in diameter and ton feet
high was built.
When the morning of the dayfost
opened the whole country was on the
spot to the number of several hundred ,
including a ctozon or so of women and
twice ns many half-groxvn .boys. The
goats tremendous follows , with terrible
riblo horns and exaggerated tempers
were brought to the ground , tied by the
foot and hauled in n wagon. They were
lifted out and put in a small pen adjoin
ing the lighting arena , when their lashIngs -
Ings were cut loose and their -captors
took hastily to fence , out of harm's
reach. The animals were to bo loft in *
their pen until after dinner , by which
tlmo it was believed that their circula
tion would bo fully restored and their
stiffened limbs again return to their
natural elasticity. The bear was in the
pen , and as ho had boon given nothing
to out since the day before , he was in a
ferocious humor. Old Withers and the
crowd collected in the yard in front of
the house and lay in the shadt ) , talking
nnd joking nnd eating their lunch ,
which they washed down with an occa
sional touch of the contents of suspi
cious looking jugs.
At 1 o'clock preparations wcro made
for the fight. Along polo , twenty feet in
length , with a slipnooso of chain in Its
center , was brought out. The noose
was lot 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 polo dragged
and pulled the bear to the opening in
the pit , where ho was firmly fastened to
, a chain about thirty foot 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 boar's head. Kvoryching now being
ready , the bars separating the pen were
lot down.
The bonr was in a terrible rage , and
toro about the pen , trying in vain to
break his chain and got at the moun
taineers. The goats were also in an exag
gerated state of mind and in fit con
dition to fight at the drop of a hat. As
soon as the bars were down the goats
trotted through Into the main pen , but
upon catchingsight of the boar they
j , hesitated , whistled and stamped their
Uf foot , while the hair on their bucks rose
1 stiff and straight. Meanwhile the bear
had got sight of his enemies , and ns ho
was hungry ho made straight for them
the full length of his chain. This open
challenge for a fight was not to bo ig-
aorcd. Ono old follow ; the patriarch
Of the gang , lowered his head and made
a bound and before the bear know what
wan coming a bombshell of horns , logs
nnd foot struck him such n terrific blow
in the stomach that ho keeled over and
lay fiat on his bnck. The ether goats
were not fur behind their leader when
they let him have it , ono hitting him
on tho.rump nnd the ether in the Bide.
These hard raps stirred up the bear's
already sour temper , and ho quickly
got on his fcot just as ono of the goats *
made a second rush nt him. Just as
the billy got within roach bruin lot Hy
n paw and sent the goat rolling and
tumbling twenty feet away , but ho
wasn't quick enough to avoid thu next
ono , which gave him n jam between
the ribs that made him ennrl and
whino. The third ono lot him have a
cracker in the side , but didn't got away
, in time to avoid a blow from the loft
\L \ duke of the bonr , which sent him
1 tumbling nftor No. 1. By this tlmo No.
1 hud regained his foot , and , with a
wicked blink , ho again wont hammer
and tongs. Ho struck the boar squarely
between the forelegs , and over wont
goat and bear , the gout getting n wipe
from the sharp claws which laid open
in Ms side a gap of six inchos. Before
Bruin could regain his foot nnd wind ho
got two moro rib-ronstors , which
Knocked him llattor than a dry town in
Missouri. The last round hurt the
boar terribly and he howled with pain
and rngo.
It now began to look as though the
"
coats wore going lo huvo n walk" ever ,
but llfuin , finding U hard lines to whip
U > three such nugilUtio CUBSCB in the open ,
ifi olmugod his tactics , llo buelrod invuy
kfi the lonfe'th o ( his chnin , wliluh brought
| i' him close to the fence , und provcnted
the hnlry toruodoos from wfiHtlg him In
the ronr. When ht pot near tlio end
of his chain the hour laid down on MB
bnck nnd brought his four foot close
together' , ranking n hugo , blnck , woolly
Inmoh , which the goats nil clmrod nt
onco. The throe goats nrrivod nt their
tloBtlnntlon nbout the snmo tlmo , but
they wore mot in n dlfforont mnnnor
this tlmo. The claws of the bonr How
outward , striking two of his cnotnios ,
rlpplnp ono of them wldo onon , whllo
the other received a terrible clnwlnc
about the nook. The disembowelled
billy struggled to his foot and made ono
last olTort for rovonpo. IIo sprang at
the boar nnd struck him squarely in the
face , but it was his lastoITort. Another
rip from the blnck paw9 nnd ho was a
defunct billy. By tnls time the boar
had boon so thoroughly drubbed and
banned that ho was In a sorry condition ,
but his onomlcs were no bolter oft. The
llvlnpr goats were both badly cut up , but
their larmiers were still peppery , and
they determined to fight it out if it took
all suminct. They now changed their
tactics , ono taking ono side ot the boar
and the ether the opposite.
For a few minutes it was hard to toll
which was the boar and which was the
coats , us the knloldoscoyio twirl of
horns , hair and wool were inlorminelod
in ono miscellaneous bunch. When
business ndjouniod for a recess only ono
goat , teed the scratch. The other ono
was lying across the body of the bear
dond ns the reputation of n politician ,
while the boar himself seemed to have
lost all Interest in the nfTalr and only
wanted to bo lot alone to commune with
nature. Both animals wcro nearly
pone , but a few minutes' rest
brought them around sufllclont to
finish the gumo , and as both were
determined to conquer it was soon
brought to n conclusion. With a last
effort tlio bear struggled to his fcfct and
rose half upon his haunches'nftor
throwing aside the dead goat , and
waited. Ho didn't have to wait long ,
the last of the billies was ready. The
goat pawed the ground , gave a faint
whistle of rugo and sprang at the faint
ing enemy , strikin'g him In the pit of
the btomnch and knocking him over on
liis back , where ho lay without a inovo-
mcnt. It was now apparent the boar was
'
done for. a'nd the partisans of the goat
side of the fight gave u cheer of victory
and two of them climbed the fence to
suongo down their champion , but when
they pulled them upnrt they found that
both were dead , the bear having hud
the lifo knocked out of him in the last
charge , while the goat's neck was
broken by the boar's paw just ns they
ctimo together. The result of the ffght
was three dead goats and one dead bear.
All bets werp declared off , but as every
body had enjoyed the novel affair hugely
no dissntisfabtlon was expressed.

HUNG IN AGONY IN THE AIR.
A Street Car Driver Suspended by n
Ijlvn ICIeotrlc-tilsht Wire.
George Milloragcd twonty-livo years ,
driver of car No. 170of the Grand street
linohad an experience with an electric-
light wire in Ghrystic street yesterday
morning that ho will not soon forgot ,
as it is a miracle that ho is alive to-day.
Miller , who lives at No. 436 East Thir
teenth street , was driving westward
through Chrystio street at about 10
o'clock , a Second avenue car just pre
ceding him.
At No. 240 Chrystio street n covered
electric-light wire dangled in u loop so
low noross-tho street that it grazed the
top of the Second avenue box-car. When
Miller cnmo to the spot , seeing how
near the horses the wire hung , ho stepped -
pod the car and , taking his car-hook ,
caught the wire in the loop
and pulled , intending to tear
it down , but the next instant
ho was hurled from the car. Whether
in his efforts to pull the wire down ho
had scraped the insulation from the
wire , or whether it came in contact
with another wire is not exactly known ,
but a current of uloctricitv that loft the
iron hook was so strong that the poor
follow , with both hands on the hook ,
struggled and writhed in agony. His
face showed plainly that ho suffered
terribly , but all effort on his part to lot
go proved futile.
There ho hung as if his hands were
glued to the iron , kicking nnd gesticu
lating wildly , while the mudcles on his
face , neck and hands stuck out like
whip cords. Just then ono man , of the
whole crowd of people that had boon at
tracted to the spot by Mil
ler's gyrations , came to his res
cue. Ho was Mr. Lnngdon , of No. 64
Kent avenue , Brooklyn. Seizing Miller
around the body with ono hand and the
hook with the ether ho tore him nwny
by main force , but in so doing be him
self also received a terrific shock.
Once free from the grasp of the current
Miller fell unconscious to the street ,
and nn ambulance was summoned.
The surgeon Boon had Miller suffi
ciently restored to enable him to pro *
coed to the depot in the car with an
other driver , and from there ho was
sent homo 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 us sere ns if ho had gene through a
threshing machine , and although his
injuries are only temporary it will bo
some days before ho entirely recovers.
Shortly after the incident a telegraph
lineman came along and removed the
danger.

CIRCUS ANIMALS AT WAR.
*
A Dcspcruto Flutit lictwcon nn ICle-
pliant nnd n IthlnooeruHoii u Steamer.
"I have BOOH a- great deal of the
world , and have braved many n storm
at beu , and never felt the least tremor , "
said an old Bailer to a Now York World
reporter , the other day , "but I am will
ing to confess I wus frightened on ono
occasion , and braver men than I trem
bled in their boots. It was about
fifteen years ago , and I was a sailor
on ono of the steamers which
were employed to transport John
Robinson's great World's Exposition.
AB wo neared a little port on the Ohio
river near West Virginia , I was on the
upper dock , when , looking below , I saw
the sailors and the keepers of the ani
mals running holtor-skoltor , and hoard
an unusual commotion. I quickly hur
ried below , and found men , women and
children running wildly to and fro ,
frantically shouting to the ether steam
ers , while nt the eamo time there arose
a series of shrieks , screeches , yells nnd
howls , ns if the immUcsof pandemonium
were lot loose.
„
"Tho people who had collected on the
shore to see the ileet all it approached ,
were unublo to mnko out the straugo
bohiivinr of those on board the steamer ,
but , lurmising that everything was not
light among the animals in the tnonng-
erie , they very quickly concluded that
the open levee was no place for them
should any of the furious monsters
mnko their way to the land , and
quickly dispersed In great consterna
tion. Just about this time , signals.of
dl&trcfcs were hoisted , which were
quickly rospondud to by two steamer aa
short distance auruy , They both ranged
alongside of our sloamor , when they
were informed that an nwtul battle was
raging between the huge double-horned
rhinoceros and the monster war elephant -
phant , Old Emperor. As BOOH as the
Indies nnd children could bo trnns-
forrod tn the now steamers the ontlro
crows of nil three steamers were or
dered boloxv to endeavor to separate the
combatants.
"As the portion of the main dock lust
off the boilers was reached , n horribly
sickening sight mot their view.
Wounded , blooding nnd horribly lacer
ated men were lying whore they had
boon stricken by tl\o \ terrible brutes
dead , wounded nnd dying horses nnd
ponies strewed the deck in every direc
tion ; cages destroyed nnd literally
smashed into fragments were scattered
among the dead , wounded and dying ,
nnd the terrible din , shrieks , grunts
nnd trroans plainly told them that the
ba.tlo was fiercely raging. It seemed
ns If every cage on the boat would
bo totally destroyed , and all efforts to
separate , the savage denizens of the
forest proved unavailing. At this
juncture aloud crash was heard and the
two cages containing the monster sea
lions nnd the Labrador seals wcro
driven overboard. Mr. Robinson
Boomed to bo very cool and collected for
a man" who was witnessing the destruc
tion of his property at wholesale rate ,
Incurring the loss the thousands of dollars
lars at every new onset. When
ho saw his sea lions and
seals clashed overboard , however ,
ho decided that patience was no longer
n virtue and ordered the combatants
fired upon. A heavy volley was dis
charged which had no ether effect on
the monsters , now thoroughly aroused ,
than to make thorn fight all the moro
furiously. The situation was getting
every moment moro dangerous for ul\ \
on board , and the proprietors had al
most despaired of over separating them
when it occurred to some ono on board
to opan the steam pipes nnd deluge
them with steam.
"Tho engineer was instructed to turn
on the steam , and ns it suddenly es
caped from the boiler with a terrific
roar , thu elephant was hpnrd to give n
shrill , trumpeting screech , such as they
always utter in crying for mercy when
conquered in their own wilds. Whether
the animal had received its death blow
from the rhinoceros or was frightened
into submission by the steam could not
bo ascertained until it had cleared
nwav , which it did in a few moments ,
disclosing to the astonished gaze of the
showmen acuriousand gratifying sight.
There lay thoolephnnton the dock , cow
ering and trembling , uttering moans of
pain nnd fright , while a little beyond
was the rhinoccrous , snugly otncpncod
in his cage , quaking and shivering
with fear where ho had retreated the
instant the btcam was oponcd on him.
The attendants spralig quickly for
ward , and closed and bolted the door of
his cage , thus securing themselves
from further molestation from him.
The horses , ponies anu smaller animals
that had boon killed in the battle wore
cast overboard , the dock was wabhed
and quiet once moro restored , after ono
of the hardest battles over witnessed
between animals on the water. "

Itnlslii ! ;
A lady with whom wo are proud to
have an intimate acquaintance is ono of
thojjostnnd most successful chicken-
raisers wo over know , bays the DCS
Monies Register. And wo frequently
got valuable items from her. At this
season of the year lice are ti great pest ,
and do moro than anything else to de
feat success in this business. If u setting
ting hen is infested with lice , she is so
annoyed that she has neither peace or
patience. She roars about on her nest
until she breaks some of her cgs , by
which the balance are smeared over ,
stopping the pores of the egg
shell , thereby killing the incipi
ent cliicicon. 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 bo done
with a setting hen , ns the grease will
got on the pggs , fill the pores and prevent -
vent hatching. At this period cither
Persian Insect powder or flour of sul
phur should bo used to dust the lions.
After the chickens are hatched , wet a
sponge with coal oil and give the bens
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 bo
rubbed with lard.
Young chickens should be kept a dry
as possible from rains nnd dews until
they arefeathered. . But refrain as much
as possible from close confinement. In
dolence nnd idleness is destructive to
all animal lifo , whether it bo man , uni-
mal or fowl. They must have exercise
'or work. Hence it is important that
chickens , or hens , should bo fed so that
it will bo some work to procure their
food. It is a good thing for ono
chicken to catch a lump of food and
run with it , 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 bo exorcise to pick it oft.
Or if shelled grain bo fed , lot it bo in
tno straw nnd litter in the house or
coop , so they will have to scratch for it.
The roosters ns well as the hens must
have exorcise or the eggs wil not bo fer
tile onougii to hatch. '
Cleanliness is absolutely necessary
for fowls. Pure water should bo kept
in their reach. Carbolated powder
should bo frequently sprinkled on coop
floors , Chicken houses must be kept
clean.

"About two years ago , nftor Buttering
tot nearly two years from rheumatic
pout , .being able to walk only with great
discomfort , and having tried vailous
remedies , including mineral waters ,
without relief , I saw by an advertise
ment in a Chicago paper that a man had
been relieved of this distressing com
plaint , after long suffering , by taking
Ayer'H Sarsaparilla. I then decided to
make a trial ot this medicine , and took
it regularly for eight months , and am

every form of DLseuso requiring MKDIGAL or SURGICAL
TREATMENT.
in this department we are especially successful. Our claims or superiority over *
nil others aio based upon the fact that this is the only medical establishment man--
ufacturini ; surgical braces and appliances for each individual case. Wo have >
three skilled instrument makers in our employ , with improved machinery , nnd

the result of twenty years' experience.
The treatment of diseases by electricity has undergone gieat changes within the
past few years , and electricity is now acknowledged by all schools of medicine us the
great remedy in all cluo'nic , special and nerve diseases , for nervous debility , par
alysis , ihcumatisin , diseases of women , etc. , and in many eye and ear diseases it
is the moat valuable of all remedies.
In older to obtain its full virtues , it is absolutely necessary to have the proper
apparatus. AVe have lately purchased three of the largest and most complete
batteries manufactured , so constructed as to give the most gentle as well an the
most poworf ul.current. Persons tteated at this Institute by electricity recognize
at once the difference between our expensive and complete electrical apparatus
and the common , cheap batteries , in Ube by many physicians. Over 8,000 dollars
invested in electrical apparatus.
BLOOD DBSEASES.
Wo claim to be the only reliable , responsible establishment in the west making
a specialty of this class of diseases. Dr. McMenamy waa one of the first thorough
ly educated physicians to make a special study of II.1 * class of diseases , and his
methods and inventions have been adopted by specialists in Europe and America.
Ho is the inventor of the Clamp Compiess Suspensory , acknowledged the best in
use. All others are copied after his invention. J5y means of si simple operation ,
painless and safe , recently brought into use , wo euro many cases that have been
given up as incurable by medical treatment , ( llcud our book to men , sent free to any

ties for treatment , operations , artificial eyes , etc.
Wo have greatly improved our facilities and methods of
trcatinff cases by correspondence , and are ' having bettor
huccess in this department than over beforq.

tion to any poisons , patients or physicians. Wo invllo all to correspond with or
