LIFE STAMPED OUT 0]? HIM. After Being Ripped Through the Ab- domen and Breast the Infuriated An- imal Crushed His Prostrate Form Out of all Human Likeness. BOSTON, March 13,—The Hon. John E. Carr, of Haverhill, Mass, an ex—member of the New Hampshire legislature, was killed in a frightful manner by a mad— dened bull Thursday morning, after a ter- rible struggle for life. The furious animal, after goring him several times, stamped his prostrate form out of all human like- ness. The bull then tossed a neighbor, who barely escaped with his life. Mr. Carr had gone into the pasture where the hull was confined armed with a. pitch- fork. The animal, which has long been the terror of the neighborhood, rushed at him with lowered head, and tossed him in the air before he could escape through the gate. . Gored in a Frightful Manner. Mr. Carr, although dazed by the sudden attack, rose to his feet after he struck the ground and lunged at the bull withothe pitchfork as it rushed toward him, at the same time stepping aside to avoid its horns. The wound, which was not sufficient to kill the infuriated beast, only still further enraged it, and it again rushed upon him. As the bull reached him again Mr. Carr drove the prongs of the fork into its shoulder, which stopped the animal’s rush, but, weak as he was from his many bruises, threw him to the ground. The bull r ished upon, him and gored him in a. frightful manner, plunging its horns into his breast and abdomen until the blood gushed out and Mr. Carr became unconscious. The Life Stamped Out of Him. The angry brute then stamped upon his senseless body until life was extict, after which, maddened beyond all control by the unwonted sight of blood, it tossed a neighbor who, hearng the unfortunate man’s cries, had come to his assistance. The neighbor, after repeated dodging, managed to escape through the gate just in time to save himself from a. similar fate. The hull was killed and the mangled body of Mr. Carr removed to his house. A physician was summoned, but he said Mr. Carr had been dead nearlyhalf an hour. The tragedy has occasioned deep sorrow among the citizens of Haverhill, with whom Mr. Carr was a great favorite. .

The Baring-Magoun combination is able to speak for the Atchison system. As tc the Southern Pacific company, C. P. Hunt ington and Leland Stanford each owns a large interest. It is confidently expected that the controlling company will stand as owner of the Union Pacific, and that the lines south of that system will be in full operation in less than a year. In re- gard to the northern controlling company, there is much promise for a successful ter- mination of present negotiations. Within two days an important confer- ence has been held in Chicago on the mat ter.
