Special Correspondence to Tho Tribune. Susquehanna, April C A few days since, John "Wright, of Falrdale, while walking down a pleasant lane, was accosted by a restless steer, which sug gested a little promenade. Mr. Wright's objections did not count, so he turned around and went back on his tracks, bo as to go the same way the steer was going. Then the frisky steer waltzed him down that lane, In and out of the fence corner, around a 40-acre lot, under a bridge, through tho stockyard, around a barn three or four tlmoB, un der a hay wagon and out again, through an orchard and over a pair of bars, into a milk house, through a blackberry patch and up a shellbark tree. "While attempting to climb the tree after him the steer fell and broke his neck. The owner of the sociable "critter" sued Wright for malicious mischief In causing Its death, but tho unsympathetic jury discharged the murderer without a struggle, and piled the costs on the irate prosecutor. It was a great week for Farmer John Wright. THE PADRONK 1IKLD TO BAIL. Michael Delpapa, the well-known El mlra padrone, was brought before Justice Tiffany, In this place, on Sat urday, charged by Augustus Forte, an Italian track laborer, of this place, with conspiring to cheat the said Forte nnd others. The case, which attracted a crowd, was summed up on Monday afternoon, when Delpapa was held to ball in tho sum of $500 for his appear ance before the Grand Jury. Tho case grows out of the padrone system of furnishing the Erie railroad with labor ers. In a few years Delpapa Is said to have amassed a fortune, estimated at $200,000, In the business. The laborer is charged $5 for being given a Job. Then he Is assessed 51 per month for the honor of being on the pay roll. He Is also charged for rent of the old freight cars or shanties along the line. Dalpapa Is also nn Italian barber, grocer and liquor dealer. He furnishes several railroads with laborers. It Is reported that, In view of recent de tractable developments, the Erie will abolish the padrone system on its en tire system and give American citizens a chance to obtain work. RAILROAD FLOTSAM. Traffic Is the dullest on the Jefferson Branch known In years. Several locomotives are being re built In the Erie shop. The men are still working seven hours per day. Jefferson Branch conductor Polk Pal mer, of this place, will write a book, entitled, "What I Know and Think About tho Grippe." Howard Taylor, formerly of the Sus quehanna shop, has been nppolnted master mechanic of the Lehigh Valley shop In Wilkes-Barre. Attached to a record-breaking freight train on tho Erie's New York division, a few days since, was a car equipped with appliances for testing and record ing the amount of "pull" exerted by the locomotive at various points. Tho car, which was built In tho Erie shop here, was attached to tho locomotive, and the balance of the train followed. THE COW DEFENDED IIBIi. Recently a vicinity farmer's wife was assailed by her husband, In a Held, where was standing a cow that the woman greatly petted. On seeing the rnan beating his wife, tearing her clothing and otherwise maltreating her, the cow charged up tho field and at tacked tho man with such fierceness that he was glad to retreat. The animal then took up a defensive position by the woman's side and stood perfectly still, while the woman struggled to her feet and supported herself by leaning against Its Hank until she had suffi ciently recovered to take refuge from her husband in (light.

Leo Wrlghton, of Tuscarora, last week hired a man to clean out a well which had not been used for some time. Ho had lowered tne man to the bottom of the well, In a tub, and was turning away when he heard a pierc ing yell. Looking Into the well he saw a multitude of snakes along the rocky walls reaching out their long heads. The man from below could see their glistening eyes. He screamed and raved nnd flopped around In the tub, nnd begged to bo drawn up. Mr. Wrlghton began to turn tho windlass and the man was drawn up through the mass of protruding snakes' heads. In lils excitement he shook the rope, which swayed tho tub to and fro, so that ho was thrown unconfortably close to tho reptiles. When he Jumped out ho was covered with cold perspiration, and his body trembled like a leaf. He spread the story of his adventure, nnd no one could bo hired to clean the well. Mr. Wrlghton commenced to remove the rocks and fill It up, and tho snakes immediately began to show themselves. Before ten feet of rocks had been re moved, sixty-four snakes, from two to six feet long, had been killed. Then tho well caved in nnd the remainder were burled. HOME HAPPENINGS.

Interest in selling of stocks was very languid on the Stock exchango today and tho market was ap parently aflllcted with an attack of spring fever. Many of the stocks which are usually dealt In had not a slnclo salo recorded to their credit and others showed only a fow odd lots wlth not a single full share lot to make a quotation. Fluctuations In tho main were very nar row, not offering a sufficient margin to invite operations oven by tho profes sional traders. Tho dullness seemed to bo reflected In part from other coun tries, London showing nothing doings In Americans, the stagnation being so marked that London agents of somo of tho houses In tho street ceased cabling. Chicago was taken up with her municipal election and Boston and Philadelphia wero also very qrit. Such dealings as occurred were subject to entirely fic titious Influences and wero concentrated In a, few stocks. Tho absenco of the Heavy liquidation that has characterized some recent markets was, however, marked and the railway list held remark ably Arm.

From the Leader, Few boys withstand" nn Hlneis of so serious nature bs that with which Fred I,. Howse wn a year ago aflllcted. Fred is now fifteen yours of nge, and attends the puMio schools. Ills home is No. 30 Plymouth Place, Clcvc lnnd.Ohlo, nndhe is now a picture of puerile health and vigor. Iutlio fallof 1895, however, his parents, Air. and Mrs. Itlclmrd Howse, the former, a well-known business man, whoe office Is in tho Arcade, had almost de spaired of saving hii life. Tho lad became aflllcted with Inflammatory rheumatism which affected his entire body, nnd accom panying that painful ailment were several other very serious disorders. When she wns requested to describe her son's sickness nnd Ills recovery, Mrs. Howse said : "It was in September, 1805, that Fred who wns up to that time in delicate health, was attacked by Inflammatory rheumatism. It was n very acuto caso for he wns confined to his bed, nnd was unable to move even his arms or legs without bringing on excruciat ing pain. "As side from fhc rheumatism Prod's liver was in serious disorder, and lie used to vomit frequently. He wns nlso subject lo fainting spells, nnd nltogether he had a very serious sickness. " We knew, of course, that though the rheumatism was exceedingly painful, it wns not necessarily dangerous ; the fainting spells and vomiting however nlnrmcd us.
