Cincinnati, .lanuary 2.—George Dietel, a museum “freak,'’ wiio is -aid to have been tlie largest man in the country, dieo here last night of the grip. He had been exl.ibitiiig at a museum liere, and was sick hut a few tiriys. Dietel was a resident of Baltimore, twenty-four years oUl, and his actual weight was 703 jiounds. 'The undertakers found it no easy tusk to handle the body. It took twelve men to get it into a ho.x. and tlien take it down staiis and put it in a wagon. At the undertaking ertatiiishmei’.t little trouble wa' experienced, as the box wa.s rolled into tlie elevator and then into the embalming room. ^Vhen the rema ns tyre stripped and rested on a wide bier. Llo^ed with extra legs, an idea could be had of the really imi-todonio proportions of Dietel. He actually measured li'2 inche.s about the stomach, and in life this would be a littie more, lli.s arms above the elbow were thirty-two inches in circumference, and tiie measurement about his breast was seventy-four inches. He was indeed a mountain of fle.sh, and how he could navigate with the small feet he had, aithongb hi.s legs were very large, was a mystery. It took :i barrel of fluid to embalm the body , It wa* then placed in a hastiiy-buill I’olliti.five feel eight inches long, twentyeight inches wide and thirty inches high, and went to his late home in Rultimore.

The Okher morning Jack went to the trough near liis kennel lofadrink; ice had formed on the waterj i^nd win n the dog’s cold nose was thrust into the trough it came in contact with the colder ice. Mr. lloagland was looking at Jack through the window, and be saw the dog standing in an attitude apjiarentiy a.* if in Jeep thought, buddenly the intelligent brute ran to the end of the porch, on which there were lying several large brick-bats. He seized one ot them in his mouth, atid running back to the trough w ith it threw it in with sufficient force to break the ice. He then lapped the chilly water until his thir.-t was quenched, and trotted otT as if he had done nothing at ail remarkable. Mr. lloagland is justly proud of Jack, and naturally thinks him one of the smartest dugs in the country. THE NEBRASKA GOVERNORSHIP.

Reunited After Tlilr.y Year*. (8veclal to The liidiananolt* Mews.l M-Vr-TINSVILLE, Jan'jiary 2. — A story stranger than fiction has come to light. In18d2, George Preston, a barber of thi.s city, was bound, by due course of record, by his mother to Fhristina Collins until he should arrive at the age of twenty-one, he being then but five years old. Mrs. Collins was a “doctor” of cojtsideraiile reputation, and lived a lonely life. Taking quite a fancy to the lad, she secured him for a companion. Four years later, however, Mrs. Collins died, and the lad grew up under the protection of a neighboring farmer. .Vrriving at the age of maturity, he went M'est, spending tiVe years among the Mormons. During all these years uo trace could be found of the mother, of whom he had not the slightest remembrance. A lew weeks ago a gentleman of Greenup, 111., was m the city, and through him Mr. Presion learned that a lady lived in that city, who in ali probability was his mother. A correspondence and an investigation followetf. All was satisfactory, and a mother and sOn are to be reunited after a lapse of thirty years.

The fight between the raitroade for the fair site baa broken out again and is waging with more violence tban ever, and when the State Board of Agriculture meets again on the 4th it will listen to mauy arguments. While the Voss farm has been chosen, the ■election has not been fully made and the Big Four is prepared to show that the Miller farm is the one to be selected. A Big Four oflScial, speaking on the subject says: “The Voss farm is too far from the city, and Indianapolis will get but little benefit from the crowd that will come here. 1 will venture the aanertiuu that not more than 10 per cent, of the people who go to the Voss farm will come into the city. They Irill have their tickets, and go around it. I know, too, that a tenant on that farm has a five-year lease and will not relinquish , it unlesa he is paid $10,000. Again, the roads having the Voss farm want tb charge $5 a car switching charges and 30 oente for passeugers. We make the offer of $1, and 10 cents for passengers. We bave a ninety-nine-vear lease on the Belt road between the Peoria A Eiuttern crossing and North Indianajpolis, and we would stop our trains at Washington street and other crossings, so that the people will not need to come to the Union station all. If the Miller farm is accepted, Indiana avenue will be opened and the grounds will bave gas and water — something tbftt is not mentioned in tne Voss farm proposition. Again, we have six lines running into Indianapolis, and any ope of them has as many mile* in Indiana as any other road, except the Pennsylvania, and that oompanv is not making any effort for it. We oner free freightage over our lines to the groanda. Suppose one of the other lines gets it. Well, we make t better proposition than any of our competitors, and still have five other lines to ofi’-set the nonipetitor that ia accepted. There will be an electric line built to tbs Miller farm if it ia sclectsd.”, The other roads advance as many arg'nments, as well as the Big Four, and are not allowing the grass to grow iu advancing their own interests. At noon to-day the New Monon had not agreed to build tbe viaduct asked for at the Voss farm, and this no donbt will complicate mattenat the meeting next Monday. That Bee Une Pipe.
