MILLIONS OF SEALS UPON TEE
TCH

The Poor Men Of Newfoundland Be.
coming Rich in a Fortnight-The
Gold Fields of Australia and the
Diamond Mines ofGolconda thrown
into the Shade.
Correspondence n. 7. Sun. March SOL
After a lapse of more than twenty
years of general unprogressiveness
and poverty, the dull city Of St.
Johns was aroused this morning by
report that gladdened every heart
and sent thrill of excitement over
the whole island. A steamship, the
Nimrod, belonging to Job Brothers
& Co., was said to be in the bay,
awaiting wind enough to bear her in
to the harbor of St. Johns, as her
boilers were unavailable, the bunk
ers being literally stuffed with seal
skins. On arriving we learned that
her precious cargo was twenty-eight
thousand seals-the largest number |
ever known to have been captured.
The vessels and steamships, whose
arrival / have already announced, |
trimmed their rigging with bunting
from stem to stern, and with their
signal guns fired a long continued
salute to the champion of
the feet-in fact of all sail
ing craft the world over. The Cap
tain of the Nimrod says that he left
St. Johns har6or on the 1st inst,
and with a favorable southwestern
breeze behind him, steered north
ward. After sailing through clear
water for several days he struck the
ice on the 7th of March. Owing to
a severe gale he was compelled to
lie to forty-eight hours, after which
the ice was found to be broken up,
and the Nimrod could steer in the
probable direction of the mass of
seals. On the 18th, St. Patrick's
Day, the watch at the masthead gave
the welcome cry, "Seals ahead"
whereupon the firemen were ordered
to quicken the fires. In another !
hour the Nimrod was an island amid
an ocean Of seals. In six days after
ward she was loaded, and bore up ,
for home. |
The excitement that prevails here
can only be estimated when you con-
slider what must have been the fu-
roTe on tie discovery of gold in
and California, for GER !
.ainly this is the Golconda of the +
North, Atlantic this year. You will a
also take into account the wretched-
ness of our condition for the past 1
fifteen. years, which fact will render 1
Is more joyful, while you must not t
orget our independence in spite Of o
he misery of our people in rejecting
he terms of union with Canada h
What haul Canada would have d
nut Of US this year had she caught s.
Is in her net.
A few hours after the arrival of
he Nimrod, the steamship Hector t.
love IN sight. Yet few hours and fl
7e learned the amazing fact that she n
'arrled with her q, 500 seals-sn u
that in old times would be Y,
onsldered a fairy land tale. The az

It's believed that Mr.. CampbelPs

that he can easily be ousted and a
new election secured. General
Schenck's acceptance of the English
Mission, places the conduct Of the
contest in the hands of the

A Brutal Fight.

Saturday night one of the most
brutal fights we have ever heard Of
occurred in Houghs block in this
city. Two men named Z. I. Miller
and Thomas McNally had q falling
out about something, and not being
able to settle it amicably agreed to
adjourn to a room occupied by Nc
Nally and fight it out. Accordingly
they vert to the room, locked the
door, threw the key out of the win
dow, blew out the lights, and began
to fight. It was intended to be a
brutal one from the start, each hay
ing agreed to fight to the death, if
need be. After they had fought half
an hour or SO, Miller got McNally's
thumb in his mouth, and bit it
through to the bone. This made
McNally roar with pain, and finding
Miller would not let go, he yelled
murder at the top ofhis voice. This
attracted the police, and Captain
Scott, Detective Hanks and patrol
man Gafney went up to the room
and tried to force an entrance.
Hanks kicked the door until he had
burst his shoes without avail, when
a piece of marble was procured and
the door burst in. On the floor the
two fighters we're found lying, close
ly embraced, Miller having Nc
Nally's thumb in his mouth and
holding on for keeps. The officers
were obliged to choke them apart be
fore either would let go. They were
both arrested and yesterday morn.
ing were fined $23.20 each, which
they paid and departed. Had no
the police interfered there is but lit
tie donbt one or the other would
have been killed.-Toledo CONNER
