He ljiuhed. it . at last, and came back within four feet of me. and lay down with his head resting npon his paws, like a great wateh-dog, and looked t me with ftis savage green eyes. 'He will surely go to sleep now,1! thought, and if he would only relax his vigilance for an instant I could obtain fpossessicm of a revolver, but just as I began to think, that I discovered signs of drowsiness, he started up, and witti eyes fiied'and ears, erect, sood for a moment in -a listening attitude, and then settlinaclnrjon. his hannches he gave nTterance"to"that horribte, blood-curdling shriek that only a panther can utter.

"The cold chills went rioting through every fiber of my being, while my heart stood still in terror, and my breath came in panting gasps, as a similar cry cume echoing in the distance, and I knew that the beast was catling his mate from tho forest. I had read, with unbelief, of savage animals reserving a feast for the coming of a mate, bnt now all doubts vanished from my mind. I would have given all. my earthly possessions to have h::d a revolver in my hand, but the beast seemed excited and doubly vigilant now, and walked back.and' forth past me, with every expression of joy and satisfaction in his look s and a.-tions. I knew that he intended to let me live
unffl her coming, provided that I remained peaceable, bnt tho least show of resistance would cause him to spring upon me and fasten his awfnl teeth and claws in my flesh, bnt there would soon be two to fight. "My head rested in an elevated position, and emerging from among the trees, I saw the female panther approaching with long, cat-like bounds,eagerly hastening to join her expectant mate. He paused for a moment, and gave utterance to a low, whining sound, then walked a few paces toward h-.-r. "With all the energy of sudden hope flashing through utter despair, I seized the revolvers, and rising to a sitting position, awaited their coming. . "I was not long in suspense; he trotted joyfully up to mi, with her at Ms side, with a hungry and expectant look in
her savage eyes that made my heart stand still. I waited until they were within six
feet of me, and although trembling violently, I began to discharge the revolvers.
The first ball struck against one of her

GENERAL. . Stliritor General Gocdo testified before tho rm-Kloctrio Investigating Committee at Washington, on cross-exainination, that ho was not aware of rising any undue or unusual haste in ordering the suit against the Boll Compviiy. If he had known of tho Attorney General's connection with the Pan-Electric Compiny, and an application for a suit bad Iteen made, his action would have been the same as it v.-as. When asked if it had not occurred to him that it was lato in the day to charge fraud against the Boll patents, witness replied:
'rio: and I want to say further that I did not
know that the Bell Company was hedged about
with Mich divinity that it could not be brought

point I desire to mako clear, and that is
that the Attorney General had no nioro
do with tho institution of this suit
than any member of the committee." Witness admitted that lie could not recall a single case
where a patent suit had been ordered without

iGrecnflcld Mass.) disfa'cb.l A terrible disaster occurred on the Fitehburg Knih'inul midway betweeu Bnrdwefl's Ferry and West Deerlield station, the eastliouud pusseiigi r train going over an embankment 200 f.-et high. Ten bodies have already been taken out of the rnius. and it is not known how many others were killed. The train was the eastern express, aud consisted of a buggogo cor; a smoker, a sleeping cur, inoiatatar, aad-.swestftifditsaxy passenger cars. It was in charge of Conductor Foster, with Herbert Littlejohn as engineer. The point where the accident occurred is the most danger
ous on the road, as the track runs on the edge of au embankment 200 feet above Deerfield Biver. The bank ia steep, and is covered with huge bowlders
aud masses of rock. When the train ar
rived at this point the track commenced to
settle under it for a distance covering its
entire length. The coaches broke from their trucks nud went rolling over and over down the precipice. The engine
broke from the tender, tearing up the
truck for twenty feet. Below rolled the Deerfield River, on the very edge of which
the cars were thrown. As soon as they
struck thev caught fire from the stoves,
The sleeping-car was an entire wreck. It was occupied by several passengers, not one of whom at this hour is known to have
escaped injury.
As soon as tbe news reached Greenfield

eral pnysicmns. section men, ana a tew
citizens. On arriving at the wreck a horrible sight wns witnessed. Darkness had set
tled over the spot. Far down on the river bnuk could bo seen the smoldering embers
of the ut-fnted tram. It, was impassible to tell who was hurt aud who was killed.
Stoat-hearted trackmen were lowered cau
tiously down the treacherous height, and

His left thigh was broken and also his left leg at the knee, besides which he sustained internal injuries from'which he will die. D. Crandall, postal clerk, was plunged into the river, and got ashore with difiienkv. He was wounded about the head
aid lii- arm wits fractured. Deputy Sheriff
Hrvant, who was in this car. rescued two
children from Ihe flames, but one was dead
and t ie other dying. Their parents were ou l.oarjtl, but casmot be found. Some of the iujnr.'d and dead were taken to Shelbnme Falls and some of the wounded to
Greenfield.
(I. V. Bell, of Nashua, X. H., was cut lightlv on the bond and leg, but not seri-
ouslv hurt. He was thrown headforemost
into (he river, and went to the bottom, barely escaping drowning. Conductor Foster is ruported safe, and but sliehtly injur-
d. li. C. wens, 01 Anaover, had ms
shoulder hurt and his head cut. The car
in which he was 1 iding wns bsoken in two, and stood on end within a few feet of the
river bank. Nicholas Dorgan, of Green
field, had his left arm and ankle broken,
and was seriously injured internally. A
little girl who was a passenger on the train dud in his arms from injuries received. J. E. Priest, of Littleton, X. H., had his fnoe and hetid cut. Engineer Littlejohn,
of North Ad ims, was budfy scalded, and has since died. A, K. Warner, Chairman of (he Greenfield Board of Selectmen, was
badly hurt, but his injuries are not ratal. Great excitement prevails all along the road betweeu here and North Adams.
Beiuir interviewed at Shelbume Falls
Condwtor Foster said: "I am unable to
state how many were ou the train. Only three men have thus far been found who escaped injury, and (her set the nitmlier of
passengers all the way from twenty-five to
a huudred.
The locomotive is a complete wreck, but remains on the truck, while the tender is down the buuk. The following, persons were taken to Shelbume Fulls, more or lese injured: H. G. Littlejohn, brother of the
engineer, with his wife and two children,
all of whom have since died; A. V. Cornell, Allen Lewis, E. B. Stowe, A. 0. Harvey, of Boston, badly hurt; J. P. Fowler, A." B. Warner, of Greenfield; H. Couillard, Cbarlemout; E. W. Dnnnells, .Wol-
tlmin; Miss Darby and May Gowing. A

At midnight it is reported that four more dead bodies were remoyed from the wreck, and it is believed that others have been swept down the river. The t ain at the time of tho accident was running at the rate of about twenty miles nu hour.

Mr. Famahar of New York, supported the. bill.
v, ninvnr. of MUatnrt. declared that it was

A BLOODY HIOT AT LAKEV0, TEX. Five, Men Killed and Three Wounded in a Kight Ktwn I'olltical faction (Laredo (Tex.) telegram.; The intense political excitement and lawlessness which has prevailed here for tbe last fortnight culminated this evening in a bloody riot. The immediate cause is attributed by many to a circular whioh appeared this morning announcing that the Democrats would hold funeral services at I o'clock over tbe party known here as "hitarches." Directly after the appearance of the circular it was announced that the hiiavches party would prevent byorce any Bu.'h demonstration. At 4 p. m. the street l ading to a point where n Democratic procession was announced to start was blockaded with armed men. A little "later the Democratic procession moved down Main street, headed by a band, and turned into tho street leading to the main plaza. When tho head of tho column had reached a point in front of Martin's store n p-aitv of men armed with Winches
ters and revolvers charged Ihe procession. Instantly over 100 armed men beetinio engaged in a deadly oonflict, and for half an hour a, regular buttle raged along the street. During the conflict a small cniinon which had been used hy the hnurches party, aitd which was, it is said, loaded with nails and stones, waa fired down tho siieet. By 5 o'clock the mob spirit was supreme. Word was dispatched to Col. Barnard, commandant at Fort Mcintosh, that heavy firing in the city wns caused by a Mexican attack from the other side of "the Bio Grande. It took but a few minutes to double-quick two eonipauios of infantry into town, before whom the mob quickly disappeared. The casualties, so far as known, are five killed and three wounded. All the killed lire Mexicans except one, a young American named Breaker. The Democrats claim that they were fired into and acted upon the defensive. , Pennsylvania Domocmts are anxious to have Mr. Franklin B. Gowenruufor Governor. W. W. ConcoitAN has sent a 4R100 check (o the Treasurer of the Hendricks mouujnenl fund.
