How a WESTERN RIvFn WAS STOCKED
WITH FIsII.-Omaha papers just received con
tain accounts of the wrccking of the train on the
Union Pacific railroad, Of which the California
aquarium car which went out from Charleston,
n. H.. was a part, and Of the loss Of the
$50, 900 worth Of propagating fish intended for
the rivers of the Pacific slope. The accident oc-
Cured on Sunday. The train consisted Of sew
eral passenger and one mail car, with the
aquarium car between the latter and the engine
At Ekhorn station, about thirty miles west of
Omaha, trcstlc-work four hundred feet long
and about twelve feet in height, gave way and
the forward part of the train began to sink
through the bridge. The rear truck of the
engine and the cab sank first. which was soon
through the bridge into the water below. The
mail car was next, and of that the forward trucks
only went over the edge Of the break. The re-
malnder Of the train was uninured. Road
master Carey who was on the engine, was
drowned. When the aquarium car fell through
the trestle it sank completely under water,
where it tipped over and the fish escaped into
the slough and thence to the Elkhorn. At
least million small fish were let loose into a
Nebraska stream. The river is quite muddy
now, so some of them will probably die but
the greater portion will live, increase, and null
tipy. 1t is considered in Omaha great thing
for the Elkhorn river, which is thus chcaply
and magnifccntly stockedwith the finest varieties
of fish. Three tons Of fresh water were taken on
at Lake Michigan and Cedar Rapids, Iowa
and three tons and a-half of ice at Chiaago and
Omaha, in anticipation of the long stretch of
bad water country further west, all the prepa-
rations for the rest OF the Journey being in perfect
order Mr. Stone has Dcen ordered back to
Washington with his two assistants, to take
fresh supply of shad and make another attempt
with them to cross the continent under the
auspices Of the United States Fish Commission.
Mr. Pcnlstan, the Philadclphlan, who drew

WHO SHOT THAT TURKEY?-Over at Cape
Elizabeth lives a gentleman who concluded to
raise the present season, a large number of
chickens, but has failed in successfully accom-
plishing that desired result, on account of the
continued mysterious disappearance of individ-
ual members of his little flock He revolved
the various possible canses of his loss in his
moments of profoundest thought, and evolved
from his chaos of thought the final conclusion
that the hawks were at the bottom of it all.
Acting on this idea, he borrowed his neighbor's
gun, which he loaded and laid by in handy
place, and patiently awaited events. A few
days after one of his neighbor's children in
formed him that big bird was roosting on the
fence near by. Rushing into the house, he
seized the gun, and taking good aim, fired and
killed the bird, which proved to be one of his
neighbours turkeys. 1t isn't safe to say turkey
to that man now.
