A DOCTOR'S STEAKGE EXPERIENCE. The Bloodthirsty Kodent Makes Sightly Attacks for Kcrene. LITE KEWS FEOM THE THREE STATES SrECtAI. TZLXORAM TO THT DISrATCH.l Beatek" Falls, Jan. 25. Dr. T. J. Richie, one of the rising yonnc physicians of this place, has had an experience with a rat for the past week which he will not likely forget for soroetfme to come. For Borne time past he has been experimenting on rats, docs, cats and other animals for the purpose of studying the process of digestion. He would take the animals, place them under the influence of chloroform and then, after cutting them open and noting the working of the intestines, would sew up the wound, annoint it with a healing salve and let them go. Last Saturday he captured a large rat, placed it under the influence of tneansesihetic and to his great surprise discovered that the animal was one be had previously operated upon. Just as he turned to his case to get the necessary instrument with which to again cut the rat open, it revived suddenly and, springing from the table, ran along the floor, sprang into the open fireplace and es caped up the chimney. The Bat Keeps Up Its Attacks. There was no fire in the grate and the rat's retreat was made in safety. The doctor, thinking tbe animal would pop out of the top of the chimney, ran ont on the street to see it, bat no rat appeared. That night, asbe lay asleep, be was awakened by a sharp pain In his finger, and upon opening his eyes saw the rat that had escaped from him in the afternoon scamper off tbe bed and up the cbimney again He examined his finger mid found it badly bitten. lie washed and bound np the wound, and again went to sleep, onlv to be again awakened by the same rat bit ing his nose. He chased it away, but got little deep that night, for tbe rat kept attacking lum. and when he would attempt to kill it it vonld take refuge in the chimney. The next night, and fur every night after ward until last night, the rat prevented bim from sleeping bv its persistent and bloodthirsty attacks. He stuffed up the grate, but the an imal alwats managed to get out of the chimney. He left tbe door of the room open, but it would not leave the premises. He ret a trap for it, 1 ut it would not be trapped until last evening, when, upon examining the trap, he found the rodent safely ensconced inside. The Kodent Commits bnlcidc. When it saw the doctor it showed every sign of tbe greatest terror, and when he put tbe trap on tbe table and brought out his bottle of chlo roform ard sponge it gave a despairing squeak, tore savagely at its abdomen with its sharp teeth, until tbe wound, only imperfectly healed from tbe former operation, burst open. Its bowels gushed out and the poor animal rolled over. dead. It bad committed suicide rather than snhmit to another operation. The doctor shows a number of wounds on his hands and face to bear witness to the savage attacks which the animal made upon him. ap parently in revenge for bis operating npon it.

The suit was brought to clear the title and settle the question of the right of the State of Ohio to lease land for oil purposes. The laud in question was a portion of tbe eastern bank of bt.

The Residents of Bluefield Terrorized by " Several Explosions. rSriCtAL TSLEGRAK TO THE DISPATCH." Bltjefield. W. Va., Jan. 23. The fourth in stance in which houses in this vicinity have been blown up by dynamite, occurred here last night. Wednesday night the dwelling of Mr. Roans was demolished. 'and several persons in it at tbe time were injured by firing fragments, none seriously, however. Thursday night a fearful explosion occurred unler the house owned and occupied by James Collins. At the moment of the explosion the family were eat ing supper, and fortunately all were in one room which was not so badly wrecked as tbe others. They were all frightened, but none of the members of tbe family were injured. Tbe fame night tbe large stone building of Moses Henry was partially wrecked, though in this case, no one was in the building. Last night an unknown dwelling was torn al most to pieces by tbe unknown dynamite Sends. The people of this place are completely terrorized, and fear to go to bed at night, ex pecting it will be their turn next. The object of the persons trying to destroy fortunes and lives is not known, as all those who have suf fered are quiet, peaceable, and orderly citizens, witb no enemies. It is tboagbt to be tbe work of some insane person, or that a gang of boys have made up their minds to blow up the town. Itfs noticed that the only intention Is to wreck property, as the explosions generally occur in portions of the houses that are unoccupied. Three arrests have beea made to-day, as the result of last night's explosion. A MAN OF MIGHTY STBENGTH. Shorty Spence Performs a Remarkable Peat at New Castle. rSFECIJLL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!

He-expects the present session of the Legislature will be long and interesting, as bills on tbe sub jects of pipe lines, taxation and road im provements have been introduced. The House has been captured by the farmers, but it remains to be seen what they will do in the Senate. LOST HIS SUNDAY STIMULANT.

Senator Neeb Erplns Why He Wants Murderers Hone In the Penitentiaries To Avoid Bungling and Keep Away the Morbid People. State Senator John N. Neeb returned to Harrisburg last evening. He expects the committees in tbe Senate will be announced to-night In explaining why he introduced his bill to hare all hangings in the State performed in the penitentiaries, Mr. Neeb said: "I got the idea from Warden Dyer, of the Colum bus penitentiary, at a. meeting of the National Prison Association. Such a law prevails in Ohio, and its results have been very satisfactory to the people. I remember that the law was indorsed by the prison association. When I returned, I broached the subject to Sheriff McCleary.and he was pleased witb the idea, and urged me to go to work to have a simi lar law passed in this state. "Since the bill has been introduced I have received a number of letters from sheriffs in dorsing the measure and hoping that it will soon be passed. All the Senators with whom I have talked about it are in favor of the bill. My object is not to exclude the press at hangings, as some suppose, but to save expense to the counties and to have the job done by trained hands rather than have it bungled. The apparatus needed could be easily kept in the peniten tiary, and an experienced hangman could be employed. I think if this were done you would seldom hear of knots slipping and the horrible torture of murderers in strang ling to death. It would also keep away from jails the great crowd of morbid people that collect at a hanging. There are many men who flock to county seats on such occasions, and then go back and tell at tbe Lcorner grocery how they were in town when so auu so was iiung, wueu mey hcic uui. admitted to the jail. I have seen Diamond alley and Fifth avenue crowded with people at the time ofa hanging."
