Meachamp, living above here on the edge of Arkansas, is a great hunter and has a tine deer hound, Dan, of which he is justly proud. A few duys ago Mr. Meachamp was going squirrel hunting, and in order to keep Dan at home he was compelled to tie him up. The hound whined and begged, but finding his master was obdurate he at last lay quite peaceably before his kennel all day. At 5 o'oloek in the afternoon, however, when Mrs.

Meachamp was begiunning to look for her husband's return. Dan became so un usually restless that 6he went out to see what was the matter. In spite of her repeated efforts she could do nothing to pacify him, and at last, to her utter astonishment, he broke the rope and bounded aw-ay over the fence and Into the woods. He was gone probably a half hour when he came running back panting and almost breathless with his master's hat in his mouth. Mrs.

Meachamp became at once alarmed, and calling her son they set out to And Meachamp, the dog all the time bounding along in n-om ana leading me way. At last tney came upon Mr. Meachamp lying helpless In the woods, where at precisely 5 o'clock he had falleu in a little ditch and broken a small bone In his leg. The dog's knowledge of the accident at the very moment of its occurrence seems almost Incredible, but the truth of this Is beyond dispute. THE ITALIAN DEFEAT Timely Help Saved Three Hundred of the Beleaguered Troops.

Rome, December 10. The government Is In receipt of further advices from General Baratierl, commanding the Italian forces in Abyssinia, giving additional details of tho surrounding of Major Toselli and his command by a large body of Abysslnlans, resulting in the loss of about 700 of Toselli's men. The Abysslnlans, who were directed in part by Chiefs Has Mangascia, Mlkael and Has Makonnen, fought with great vigor aud skill for six hours. It is reported that the entire force of the enemy was commanded by a Ittisslan major. The bemmed-in Italians fought with extreme desperation.

Fortunately before the fight was over General Arimondi arrived upon the field with his command and drove the Abysslnlans back, enabling the St beleaguered Italians who remained alh to make their escape: Three Abvsslnlan chiefs and 8.U00 of their followers were killed or wounded. The government will ask In the Chamber of Deputies to-day for a vote of credit of lire for the purpose of carrying on the war iu Abyssinia. A draft of 1,000 troops will embark for Abyssinia to-day, and 10.000 n.ore will be dispatched within a few days. LICENSES, MARRIAGE LICENSES. Cannon and Amelia F.

The School of Industrial Art of the Pennsylvania Museum, llroad. and Pine streets, lias received a collection of Vienna gloss from the Lobneyer manufactories of Vienna from John T. Morris, who returned to'Phila-delphia recently from a trip to Egypt. The collection includes thirty-four pieces, pitchers, cups, plncques, vases and goblets being present In a variety of pretty, graceful forms of extreme delicacy and attractive col oring. The colors range from a perfectly transparent white, with a faint, iridescent eheen, through amber and ruby to a deep preen.

The ornament Is sometmes incised, more frequently raised, the enameling in colors and gold and silvef tracery being ap-jilfiVl with artistic taste and skill. -Mr. Morris has also presented examples of leather work from Milan, embossed with designs having breadth and boldness, In coir ors vivid yet harmonious. At times the method produces an effect not unlike embroidery. The collection will be very suggestive to the classes In designing.

The school has also received from Dr. S. Weir Mitchell a pair of bronze ornaments and a handsome bronne placque fully two feet in diameter of early sixteenth centurv (style of workmanship The border is based upon the Oreck flnthemion. combined with satyrs, mermaids, trophies of the forest and of war. In the centre Is a small nnrtmlt in profile of Francis surrounded by much ornate design.

The University colors, red and blue, draped acrtiss the windows of 9f4 Chestnut street, attracted the attention of pedestrians to the announcement of the memorial exhibition of "Breaking Home Ties," for the benefit of the Thomas Hovenden Students' Aid Fund, which it is proposed to estahllsh the University of Pennsylvania. There has been some delay in completing the necessary alterations in the room, but the exhibition is definitely announced to open this morning.
