FIERCE FIGHT ON TRAIN.
I)., J., tind W. Detective Kilwin
Hutchison Makes n Vnlinut Attack
Upon 1'our Trninps Who Were
Aboard n .Milk Triiln--Wns lindly
injured.
Strnudsburg, July 0. Udwln Hutchi
son, a Delaware. Lackawanna and
"WcMern detective, had a fleire fight
with tramps on the 5.57 p. in. milk train
near Oxfotd a few evenings ago. Milk
thieves have been numerous of late nnd
Detective Hutchison got on the train at
K.ixt Stroudsburg to guard It. As the
train pulled out of Oxford he saw four
men board It and enter a car. He
reached tho car they occupied Just as
the train was entering the tunnel. The
tramps started for him Just as soon as
they saw him, and befoio he could re
cover himself they had him on the bot
tom step of the platform of the car.
Hutchison got a grip on the railings
nnd held on, yelling, to attract the at
tention of. the trainmen. The sound of
his voice was lost In the roar and clat
ter of the w heels. The men kicked him,
and one of them beat his hands with a
club, but he held on.
The train at that moment struck a
sharp curve, almost throwing the men
on the platform from their feet, and In
the momentary cessation of hostilities
Hutchison again gained the platform
and had time to draw his club. Deal
ing blows light and left, he got hold of
the knob of the door of the car, opened
it, and tumbled inside, the men follow
ing him. All over the car they fought,
nnd when the train slowed up at Wash
ington the milk cans were scattered In
every direction, and tho four tramps
had broken heads but weie still full
of fight.
It required the services of two police
men and eight railroad men to get them
from the car and shackle them. A va
lise containing a full outfit of burglar
tools was found In the car they entered
at Oxford, and nil the men were armed
with razors and knives. Detective
Hutchison was badly hint. His face
and head were cut, two of ills tooth
were knocked out, and the bones of his
right hand were broken in the struggle.
NOT WISELY, BUT TOO WELL.

WAS in: INSANE.
If So, .tinny of His .llncnulny Ideas
M ere Tinged with Lurid Sanity.
From the Chicago Tribune.
"This man," said the keeper of the
asylum, "Is one of our most interesting
patients."
"What Is his peculiarity?" asked one
of the visitors.
"He thinks he Is the historian Macau
lay. What are you working at this
morning, Mr. Walk I mean my lord?"
"I am about half through my history
of America," replied the dlgnllled
looklng personage seated at the little
table.
"Will you show these gentlemen the
pages you have Just written?"
"With pleasure."
The manuscript ho submitted with a
courtly how read as follows:
"At this time the United States has
not a friend among the leading nations
of the earth. France, tho old-time ally
of the republic, has been alienated by
an effusive display of American sym
pathy In behalf of the Germans during
the Franco-Prussian war. The sensa
tional manner in which the horrors of
Russian prisons had been described In
American pictorial magazines, and tho
popular Indignation awakened by the
recital, had effectually cooled the
friendly ardor of tho Muscovite gov
ernment. Tho hostility of Germany
had been aroused by trade misunder
standings and Jealousies. An arbitra
tion treaty with England had failed by
reason of the hostility of the tJnited
States senate. Italy cherished a feel
ing of resentment on account of the
troubles and humiliations growing out
of a massacre of Italians In New Or
leans a decide before. Canada, on the
north, was distinctly unfriendly, and
Mexico, on tho south, while outwardly
amicable, had never forgotten Cheru
busco, Buena Vista and Reseca de la
Palma. Tho struggle that was begin
ning between tho American Union and
Japan for tho possession of the Ha
waiian Islands had estranged the ris
ing power of the Orient. With its for
eign relations in this unsatisfactory
condition, with a sea coast almost
wholly unfortified, with internal dis
senslons of Its own, with hardly a bat-tle-shlp
that would keep afloat In a
norm, and with an annual expenditure
for pensions that would hiavo sufllced
to maintain a very large standing
army, the United States leaped Joyous
ly Into a war with several foreign pow
ers at once, as will bo described in the
succeeding pages."
"Is he really Insane?" asked another
of tho visitors.
"This Is the incurable ward," re
sponded the keeper briefly, and they
passed on to tho next ward,

SIX-YEAR-0LD HERO DROWNED.
Edwnrd Iliclilitz, After Saving n Lit
tle Brother, Lose His JJIc.
Milwaukee, July 9. Edward RIchlltz,
C years of age, died like a hero after
saving his brother, two years younger,
trom drowning. The two boys were
piaylng In the yard while their par
ents were away. The cistern was open
and In it was water to the depth of
frur feet.
In some way the younger boy stum
bled and fell into the mouth of the
ristern. Edward, with a- coolness be
yond his years, threw himself on his
fttomach and reaching down managed
to draw his brother out of the cistern.
Just ns the little fellow was safe on
the giound, the older boy was over
balanced and In turn fell Into the cis
tern. The cries of the younger boy at
tinrtcd the attention of the neighbors,
bi.t before they could reach the cistern
12dward was drowned.
This Is tho complaint of ECS m
thousands at this season. W SflT
They havonoappetito; food 'i
does not relish. They need the toning up ot
the stomach and digestive organs, which
a course of Hood's Sarsaparilla will givo
them. It also purifies and enriches tho
blood, cures that distress after eating and
internal misery only a dyspeptio can
know, creates an appetite, overcomes that
tired feeling and builds up and sustains
the whole physical system. It so prompt
ly and efficiently relieves dyspeptic symp
toms and cureB nervous headaches, that it
seems to havo almost "a magic touch."
