aent qnlte a delegation down te tbe chase,
arriving at Gap abertly befere 2 o'elook.
The crowd had already begun te
come and It waa a ahert time
until the Tillage, especially aieund tbe
hotel, presented very lively appearance.
After everybody bad had a pleasant ebat
and the hunters had warmly greeted each
ether, dinner waa announeed, A table of
great size had been spread, and It waa
leaded wltb everything that man, and ea ea
peelally theso with geed appetites, oenld
wish for, and it was filled numerous times
before all were aerved,
It waa aftnr three o'clock when consider
able excitement waa eauaed by the an
nouncement that the fox waa about te be
dropped. Mr. Ratter' hotel Is situated en
the side of a bill and tbe back of It faces
the north. On that aide of tbe beuse there
la a very large poreb, from wbleh an excel
lent view of the beautiful Pequea valley
la te be had. On tbe perch many
of the crowd gathered, while the yard
and the surrounding places were filled.
It waa but a short time until Ames 8. Beaa
emerged from the hotel, carrying tbe fox in
his arms. He waa a beautiful animal, of
large alie and had been ought but three
weeka age, at Coopers, about three mllea
north el Oxford. Mr, Hess and Mr. Butter
took Reynard te a point in a oernlleld, at
the bottom of the gently sloping bill, and
he waa dropped about 100 yards from the
hotel. lie started off rather hastily but seen
Blackened hla pace. lie ran In a north east
erly direction seresa two grass fields until
be came te a large frame barn. A big beuse
deg here saw him and gave cbsse. The fox
waa tee qulek and he slid through tbe
fence, while the deg, which waa rather
large and heavy, was unable te g6t ever.
This little excitement caused the fox te
hurry along and he seen crewed the Lan
caster pike lute a cornfield ; in a few mo me
menta he waa lest te the sight of the people
at the hotel, who were se anxious te fellow
him with their eyes. At first it waa be
lieved by many that he had turned toward
the eeuib, and waa making for hia old
haunt, but be sserns te have kept In .the
direction wlileh he started, going towards
Housten's dam.
Alter the lox hal been dropped there waa
great oenfualon about tbe hotel and In a
few moments all of tbe humors who
Intended te participate in the cbase were In
their saddles. They s'atted OH at Intervals
and could be seen going Id every direction
aa fast as tbelr homes could carry them.
After twenty minutes bad elapsed from the
time that the lox was dropped, the hounds
that had been keeping up a terrible noisy
serenade In a Rhed, In wbleh they ware
penned, were let loose Se anxious were
(bey te get out tbat they ran
all evor each ether. The pack was a very
large one, numbering ever one bundred.
They were a splendid looking let of
animals and as they made tbelr appearance
tbey stirred up tbe bleed of tbe anxious
spectators. The dogs were a little wild at
first about taking the trail, but finally a
big red deg get It and Blurted in the exact
direction that the fox had taken. He was
qalekly followed by the remainder of tbe
pack, and ill cresBOd tbe fence at tbeoerner
of the barnyard, where the fox and big
deg had had a lew words just bofero
Tbe dogs oressed the pike Inte a oercfleld
and then seemed te ecatter somewhat, tbe
majority of thorn veering around In a mere
easterly direction, for houie time tbey

WALKINGI TBI 1R40K ASLEEP.
Clothed In HI Night Bntrt a BemnnmbaUst
Is Discovered Promenading en tne
Bdge el the Elevated Betd.
Mr. E. G. Glrard, manager of the braneh
or tbe American Dlstriet Telegraph com
pany, en Fulton street, Brooklyn, waa at
an early hour Thursday morning one of the
principals In an affair the memory of which
will probably remain with -blm until his
memory eeasea te be.
At 2:30 a.m. the gentleman in question
was walking down tbn southern t-lde el
Fulton street, between Bedford and Frank.
Un avenuea. He had just finished the In
spection of tbe several beats patrolled by
tbe pollee otlieers of the company and was
Sroeeedlcg te the cilice already named,
uddenly be caught eight of a ghostly
white fUure which was gilding slowly and
nelaelbealy along the extreme edge of the
elevated railroad track.
On It came, Its long white garments flut
tering In the keen night air, until it was at
a point nearly ever the head of the wateher.
Then Mr. Glrard saw by the aid of a neigh
boring electric light tbat the spectral ap
pearance resolved Itself Inte tbe form et a
man, who, clad in one garment apparently
hli night shirt waa walking In tbe narrow
pathway or the track used by the workmen
en tbe line. Mr. Glrard shouted te the weird
nromenader, but without avail, for tbe
myaterloes figure continued te move
cautiously forward. The telegraph man
followed, yelling at the top or his powerful
longs, but bta shouts and exhortations weie
unheeded by tbe ghostly track walker.
Then Mr. Glrard hunted for rocks and pro
ceeded te bombard tbe still moving form.
Kven these aireug arguments were of no
avail.
Aa he drew near the man took no notieo
of hla appioaeb, but moved forward with a
regular and undisturbed step. When only
a few feet divided tbe couple, Mr, uirard
saw tbat the eyes of thetraeK walker were
partially opened, but that tbeeyeballa were
fixed In a dull, unmeaning Blare.
Instantly he resllisd that he bad te de
with an extraordinary case of semnambu.
Ham. Glrard then waited until tbe sleep
ing man was midway down tbe platform,
and then seizing the somnambulist around
tbe waist threw him right upon the beards.
It need hardly be eald tbat tbe waking
was Instant and efleeiual. With a wild
sbrlek tbe terrified man suited te run, but
his rescuer was tee quirk for him and
caught blm, holding him until be was fully
awake ana reeterea te a aeijae ei dm situa
tion. He gave bis name as Ernest J. Llnblln
and stated that be lived In a lUt en Fulton
street, between Bedford and Franklin
avenue. Glrard aslated the half-frczsn
man te bis home, wbere he relapsed into a
dangerous unconsciousness produced by
tbe terrible exposure. Hy tbe use of warm
baths and restoratives he was brought
around, bowever, and tn a ceuple of hours
declared that he foltnene tbe werse for hla
escapade.
He has net the slightest reoellootlon et
leaving bis home or et ascending te tbe
elevated read. Hew he did ae Is mere or
leas of a mystery, only explainable en the
hypothesis tbat be climbed a ladder left by
workmen en new buildings at the (udoUeu

tbe evidence.
S The court erred In allowlngtbeoom allewlngtbeoom allowlngtbeeom

brought Inte court npen a speelal venire
3. The court erred inrefuslngtnallewthe
defendant te prove ry Jacob Wtteh that
Christian Itudy, tbe deceased, complained
et the bad treatment received from tbe
Inmates or the almshouse and te show that
hn had enemies amongst the Inmates,
4. Tbe court erred in charging tbe Jnry
that tbe cemmcnwcalth hasininlshtd full

no aueh jivldonee tarnished by the oom eom oem
ninnwealtb. The opening argument In support of a
new trial was mode by Jehn A. Ceylf, esq.
lie read dopenltlon taken In support of the
rule. Among the witnesses examined was
Charles Butcber, tbn oelorod oeaobman of
Kebsrt A. Kvane. Hla testimony was that
en tbe afternoon when the murder Is
alleged te have been committed he saw
Jehu W. Itudy en North Ltme street,
going towards bis home en Seuth Lime

mitted this murder, covered up the evi
dences et his orltne and reached tbe point
