Zerr, of Georgetown, president of the Berks county agricul tural society, was returning from the State fair at Philadelphia, in a buggy, and when near the White Bear Hotel he spied two bulls in the road. Mr. Zerr perceived that the beasts were en gaged in mortal conflict, but noticing that they did not obstruct the road he drove on with the intention of driving by, but Just as he was about to pass the ferocious animals the larger one shot across the road, and before Mr. Zerr could Btop his horse the bull was under the buggy, and then began a struggle between buggy and bull. The animal's horns caught in one of the wheels of the vehicle, and the occupants of the carriage, Mr. Zerr and his grandson, were kept in terrible suspense while watching the infuriated beast's struggles to force itself from the spokes of the wheel. The other animal, which up to this time was a quiet observer of what was going on, suddenly made a bolt for its antagonist, which was caught in the carriage wheel, and in a few seconds the light buggy was completely over turned by the combined efforts of the animals, and the occupants violently thrown out upon their heads,but strange to say, they escaped injury. Mr. Zerr retained hold of the reins when he was precipitated to the dusty road and checked the horse from running away. All this happened in less time than it takes to relate it. Mr. Zerr was in a terrible dilemma during the struggle. He was unable to Jump from the bug gy, for if he had done this he would have alighted upon the bulls ; he could not drive ahead in consequence of Tau rus having his horns entangled in the wheel. The only course to pursue was to sit quietly in the buggy and await the result. The vehicle was a complete wreck. The horse received no injuries, but was terribly frightened. The bulls left them to finish their battle else where. A Terrible Story. The Milwaukee " Sentinel" contains an account of horrible atrocities in the Milwaukee House of Correction. This institution is used at the discretion of the court as a State prison. An intelli gent convict, JuBt released, whose char acter for veracity is vouched for by prominent persons who know him intimately, states that he has been an inmate for two years. All that time he was not allowed to write to his counsel, friends, or family, who supposed he was dead. He says the bread furnished to the convicts is made from damaged cow feed, and cannot be baked, and that this stuff Is paid for by the county at the rate of $6 per barrel. During his confine ment diseased calves, dogs, and glander ed horses have been furnished as meat, and he brings the bones, which are now in possession of the editor of the "Senti nel," to prove it. The details in this respect are horrible beyond description. Of the brutalities of the keepers he says : " The prisoners were beaten and confin ed in the black hole, which is a filthy dog kennel of five feet four inches by five feet. A man cannot lie at length in this kennel, nor is there any ventilation to it. The floor is covered with indescriba ble filth. Men are placed there for twenty days at a time, and two, to his knowledge, have died from the effects described. There 1b a chair factory connected with the institution, and it is charged that the police are in collusion with the superintendent to kidnap men to work at chalrmaklng." The whole story is the most revolting ever publish ed in this country, and it is claimed that the charges can all be verified. ' Wat He Murdered ? A New Haven dispatch of last Friday says: Thomas Blake, formerly a janitor of Yale College, is missing, and fears of foul play are entertained. He left this city on October 6, with a through ticket to San Francisco, and a large amount of money. Two days later his wife receiv ed a letter purporting to have been writ ten by him, from Buffalo, stating that he had been robbed, and asking that money be sent to him. The college au thorities Interested themselves iu the matter, and sent $55 to William Foster editor of the Buffalo Commercial Adver. tiser, requesting him to investigate the case. A person much younger, and iu no way resembling Blake, called for the money. Suspicions were aroused and he was arrested. He finally acknowledg ed that he was ft'n Impostor. President Porter has telegraphed to various leading points on the line to San Francisco, but has so far discovered no trace of Blake. Tt Is feared that he has been murdered. A Wholesale Haul. Just as day was dawning this morn ing, 125' patrolmen, special officers, ser geants and lieutenants of police, under Chief Givin, made a sudden and com bined descent on the taverns, in the region bounded by Fifth and Eighth, Alaska and Balnbridge streets, in the Fourth ward, more than 800 promiscu ous people of both sexes being made prisoners. On last Friday night two officers of the Second district were severely beaten and stabbed in the neighborhood of Sixth and Alaska while making an arrest, and are now confined to their homes in consequence of their wounds. This is Bald to have been the primary cause of the raid. Phil'a. &lar of the 21sjt inst. Two Women Found Dead Beside an Over turned Wagon. Middletown, N. Y., October 23. Stephen Q. Cauldwell's wife and sister, Mrs. Charity Acker, of Pomonawack, Ulster county, drove to Montlcello to see Cauldwell, he being confined in the Sullivan county jail. In the afternoon they started for home. Last evening a party of fisherman found both women lying dead in the road beside the over turned wagon, to .which the horses were still attached. One woman's head lay on the others body, The coroner has gone to the Bcene of the accident to solve the mystery. - -s A Singular Aeoldent. The Lewistown Democrat says: At Milford Siding a bolt flew from the en gine of the Day Express one day last week, passing through the bonnet of one woman standing along Bide watching it pass, and struck another her companion in the side, causing a wound which bled bo profusely that for a time it was feared the hemorrhage could not be arrested in time to save her life. We do not know their names. Cincinnati, October 23. A special dispatch from Grayson, Ky., relates that two hundred men rode into Martlns burg, Elliott county, on Monday night, surrounded the jail, overpowered the jailor, took two prisoners, John W. Kendall and William M'Mlllan, to a tree near by and hanged them until they were dead. The men who were hanged were known to belong to' a gang of out laws. Elizabeth, N. J. Oct. 23. Michael Sullivan, who was indicted for burying alive his daughter's illegitimate child, was arraigned this morning. The pris oner's counsel objected to the panel of jurors, because it contained two wrong names. The trial was postponed until December. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, Ootober 23, 1879. There are but two members of the Cab inet absent at this time, and a meeting was held yesterday, being the first sinoe tbe President left on his. Western trip. Of oonrse Indian affairs were talked over, but, it is said, nothing was determined on. Much as many of us will regret it, there seems to be no proper disposition of this subject but a trausfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department. The superior race never considers the wrongs of tbe in ferior race. It may be, however, that the Indian will suffer no greater hardships un der the Army than under the present di vided, inefficient, and corrupt rule. I an ticipate early aotion by Congress as to the transfer. The subject is ready for discus sion on reports made by a special commit tee. General Paine, the Commissioner of Patents, has recently written a letter to the Interior, concerning further and better accommodations for the Patent Office, and such changes in its organization and man agement as will facilitate its business. I commend this letter to the careful perusal of tbe whole people, as it is a subject that very nearly conoerns them all. Tbe constitutional provision that Con gress may by law provide for the protec tion of inventors in the enjoyment of such a monopoly of the manufacture and sale of their inventions as would remunerate them for their skill and labor, has been so used as to make the Patent Office a source of revenue to the Government the receipts of that office for lt yeft exceeding its expenses by (105,000. Tbe Commissioner of Patents holds this to be an unjust tax on inventors, and reoommends that addi tional facilities for the accommodation of Inventors be provided to as great an extent as tbe Income of the office will pay for. The justioe of this reoommendatlon will be apparent to all thinking men. It has long been apparent tbat tbe Patent Office building that now aooommodates (or rather discommodes) the entire Interior Depart ment, is only" sufficient for the Patent Of fice, aud that the Laud Office, Indian Office, and all the branohes of the Interior Department except the Patent Office, should be provided for elsewhere, and the entire building, whloh was erected without expense to tbe Government, left to the Patent Offioe. It Is also apparont that further means for the dispatch of business should be provided, so tbat many delays now unavoidable, would be avoided. In the last month we have had in Wash ington meetings of half a dozen associa tions, in each caae delegates from all the States being here. Other similar meetings will be held during the Fall and Winter. Tbe city is coming to be a popular place for gatherings of a national character. I ex pect it to be still more so as It becomes bet ter known. It is tbe best paved olty iu the country, has surroundings unequalled else where, and contains many objects of inter est to citizens from all sections. Olive.
