A Sudden Death,
In the saloon of Mike lvyska, on South

tills afternoon, Andrew Waseovltch,
aged about 45 years, dropped dead. Tho
deceased was a stoue mason and resided
on Adams street. He is survived by a

National league team yesterday and his

to 3. Eleven innings were necessary to

Challenged the Horse.
From Todaj-'s Ilazleton Standard.
The stallion that bit the nose off
Frank Rlliman, at Freeland, on Sunday,
is now tho property of tho gypsies, who
at the present are encamped on Alter
street. On Monday evening Toney
Deliicea, a grocer of that street, visited
the camp and was Interested in the
horses. One of the animals that attract
ed his attention was a pretty stallion.
Toney who prides himself on being a
judge of good horses wont to the animal,
and, as all horsemen do, proceed to the
horso's mouth to examine its teeth, to
ascertain its age.
Toney did not get his hand as far as
the mouth, for the stallion made a dive
at his face, when Toney, with a rpiick
move, took his face out of harm's way,
but his chest was exposed and in reach
of the little stallion. The stallion saw
the fine opportunity and grabbed the
coat of Toney. With tho material in its
mouth and a grip as firm as a vise, tho
horse began to shako Toney. Tiring of
this In a moment, It reared ou its hind
feet and began to prance.
During this performance the poor
grocer was in the air and at any moment
might bo under the feet of the irato
animal, where with a jump the lifo
would bo crushed out. Several persons
present noted tho predicament of the
man and went to his aid. After consid
erable difficulty, tho grip of the animal
was unloosened and the man freed.
After being freed, Toney raised his
sleeves and stood off the distance re
quired in a prize light. He then asked
tho gypsies to let tho horse loose, as he
thought that he could defeat it in a fair
light. The crowd laughed, but Toney
was In earnest and asked for a trial,
but this was not given. To pacify tho
man it was arranged to have the man
and tho horse light last evening. At
the required hour Toney was at baud,
as was also a largo crowd of tho Dia
mond residents, but the gypsy would
not allow his vicious pony to light.
