A Strance Replile Alleged to Been Captured Sear Lopfcnsport. The following telegram was sent out from Frankfort last Saturday: "For many years George Blino. a wealthy farmer living near this city, has been engaged In making one or the finest parks and collecting specimens for one of the largest zoological gardens and museums in the United States. For years traditions Have told of a strange re ptlle Inhabiting a cave near Logansport. A month ajjo it was captured and put In Mr.

Blinn's park. ttae under part of the doglike head and its alligatorlike body there exudes a shiny paste. The traditions have said that this substance slowly ossified any article with which it came In contact. In making the capture two of tbe men got a small quantity of it on their hands. The next day tbeir hands became insensible to pain and then gradually took on the appearance of bone.

Now their hands and arms are perfectly ossified as far as their elbow joinSs. "When liberated in the park the dog, alligator or whatever It may oe, went on a wild rampage. It climbed small trees by tbe score, sprang upon the back of Mr. Blinn's favorite bear and tried to climb out over the high steel screen fence burroundlng the park. It finally disappeared in a den that had been prepared for it and has not been seen since.

But Its work had been done. In the month a great tranformation scene has taken place at the park. The trees are skeletons of bone, the big bear is a magnificent piece of statuary, while the fence Is slowly but surely being ossified Vast crowds of people view the scene daily and scientists are mystified at the strange phenomena. A few of the bones have disappeared." CHICAGO MARKETS DR. C.

"Tbe trouble Is in the elbow of my pitch arm. While in the midst of a game I felt a sharp pain as though the muscles and nerves had oeen torn from the bone. I have no speed now and could not throw a curve to save my life.

However, I think that If I take good care of myself and rest my arm up during the winter it will be as good as ever when the season of '98 REAL ESTATE Reported lot the Pharos bj M. Velsev, Abstractor. C. W. Homburg, sheriff, to Vesta J.

S. May, superintendent of tbe Richmond division of chePanhaQdle, was In the city today. On Sunday last tbe Big Four, on different divisions ot its system, run thirteen low rate Sunday excursions, and all were well patronized. President. Thompson expresses satisfaction with the general condition of the Pennsylvania lines as he found them on bis present Inspection trip.

The Pennsylvania relief department west of Plttsburg expended in September $24,362.90 to 834 members. In 99 months the association has paid out $1,909,002.67. The New York Central, with 38,897 freight cars, has only 45 per cent of such cars equipped with automatic couplers, aud the Erie, with over 40,000, has only 76 per cent supplied. The net earnings of tbe Panhandle are now exceeding those of the corresponding period last year 8 per cent, and the remaining months of the year are likely to be as satisfactory. The fact that the Pennsylvania officials inspected the Terre Haute Logansport and Terre Haute Peoria tends to strengthen the theory that these properties are to be absorbed from the receivership by the Pennsylvania.

Superintendent Gould, of the Wabash railroad, says there is no truth in the report that the local freight trains are to be changed on tne new time csrd. He says tbe rues will remain as they are. This decision will be a sorry disappointment to tbe trainmen. Monday evening while the Wabash section men at Kellars Station were riding on a handcar they did not notice a freight train approaching from the rear until it was within a few hundred feet away, then they jumped, but the handcar was demolished. No one hurt.

John P. Green, first vice president 01 the Pennsylvania lines, who for many years has been on tbe inspection trips, says that in his extensive travels he has not seen a union passenger station which, all things considered, met his idea of what one should he as that at Indianapolis.
