Altoona Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch.
    Two big black bears trying to board the east-bound Pennsylvania limited, due here at 10 o'clock this morning, caused excitement among the passengers and crew. The train was running between Portage and Bens Creek on the summit of the Alleghenies, when the stenographer, John McEllinen, discovered the bears in pursuit. Passengers watched the race from the rear of the observation car.
    One bear ran along the west-bound track, while the other took the east-bound track. At a curve in the road the latter attempted to leap on the train, but missed the observation platform. The bears kept up the chase nearly two miles and were then lost to sight in the woods.
    Walter Wynecoop, a brakeman, noticed the same bears following the limited several weeks ago. At that time the pair broke up a tramps' camp, which had been thriving at Kittanning Point during the winter.
