Washington special says the Louisiana
legislature having hdjoured tonight
without action on the Anderson case.
disappoints at least two members of the
cabinet who had positive assurance from
New Orleans that Anderson would be
pardoned. Some think the state SUI
preme court will order his release, which
prospect prevented Nichols from inter>
posing, thereby rendering himself un-
popular.
The Inter Ocedn's Washington special
says there is no news of Anderson 8
pardon. His friends have lost oil hope.
Two cabinet officers have said that
within week they have positive infor-
nation that Nichols would grant par
don, and cannot explain the failure.
Nichols might grant a reprieve and
prevent Anderson being taken to the
Baton Rouge penitentiary. allowing him

Some French fishermen near
Cape Agde, France, lately had a
dogfish entangled in their net,
which, after dragging their boat
about during the entire night at

teen feet in length, and weighed
$500 pounds. Its enormous
stomach contained the head, feet,
and several other portions of a

An extraordinary case of adj
dition, division, and silence has
been brought to light in Phila-
delphia. A lawyer named Terry
bargained with turnpike COM
pany, whose roadbed the city de-
sired to condemn for use as a
street, that he should receive as
his fee all he could get over $40,
900. He secured an award from
the jurors Of $40, 900, obtained
its approval by the court, and got
a mandamus ordering the city to
pay him the money. Then he
handed $4,000 to the turnpike
company, gave S6,250 to man
who had helped him on the job,
and pocketed S43,750. Now the
city is trying to get its money
back, and: has attached Terry's
bank account. Judge Briggs de-
clares his conviction that Terry
has made the court the instru-
ment Of a great fraud.

Joaquin Miller has a bone to
pick with the New York CORE
spendent of the San Francisco
Chronicle, who represents him as
"a poet who often acts with de-
liberate intent to render himself
conspicuous" and thus contin-
ues: "There is not more per-
sistent selt-advertiser in the me-
tropolis, and there are many of
his kind. He is continually af-
fecting oddity, and doing silly
things to attract attention. He
is perpetually posing and pre-
tending, and has so disgusted
many people whose good opin-
ion is worth having, that they
avoid him sedulously." Miller's
claim Of q lack Of education is,
according to this authority, all
a CAREFUL y sustained sham. His
earnings are put down at 81, 600

The cistern was getting pretty low
now. The sun had gone down behind
the western hills in glory of peaceful
splendor, and the rudy tints Of the dy-
ing day touched the clouds and sky with
serene solemn beauty almost too ethe-
rial to hang over world tinted with the
blight OF sin and one-eyed eats. The
noisy prattlers at the front fence felt the

silence laid her fingers to her lips. Only

plash, of the bucket broke the oppressive

him with its lone eye, and went on call

wasn't damp hair on it. When MILL

and savagely demanded what they
meant by telling him that lie about the
cat.
"Well. pa" they said, 1--WE thought
it fell down the cistern, anyhow; but
We couldn't see very well just where it
did go, and maybe it only run around

There was weeping and whaling in
Millikens's house that night, but long
after the sobbing children had found a
place they could lie on without bowling,
the voice Of Muggridger's cat was dis

had been unusually long and stormy, in
an eloquent argument against the adj

Military Surgery in Turkey.

The following details will seem in
credible to those who are not acquaint-
ed with the peculiar ways of the Turk
ish administration. An artillerist had
his knee shattered at Sistova by the ex-
plosion of shell, and after his would
had been temporarily dressed he was
transported from the field of battle to
Constantinople. In spite of his intense
sufferings, he listened with the greatest
interest to all the news from the seat of
war. On his arrival in Constantinople,
amputation was found to be necessary;
but before the operation could be per
formed, permission had to be obtained
from the Minister of war. This permits
sion must always be obtained before an
amputation can be performed in a Turk
ish hospital, and it not unfrequenfly
happens that the patient dies before the
civil functionaries have ceased deliber-
ating on the demand of the surgeons.
Fortunately for our artillerist, his case
was pushed through with exceptional
rapidity, and the desired permit was
given after delay OF only eight or ten
days. The brave soldier, who had await
ed the pleasure of the administration
with the most exemplary patience, bore
the operation with heroic courage:
there is.still hope that his life will be

Wholesale Poisoning In Pennsylvania.

lows: The Borough of Whitehaven, in

into fever Of excitement by startling
event which bids fair to bring MOURN

II appears that on Thursday last farm
er named Fairchild completed his fall
Strengthening, and, as is CUSTOMARY. re-
membered number of his friends and
relatives by sending them liver-pud-
dings, made in the usual manner, from
portions of the slaughtered animals, and
which by many are considered great
luxury. After these gifts had been sent
to the various friends in question the
members Of Mr.. Fairchild's family Give
in number) were taken suddenly i'll, and
as soon as possible physi-
elan was summoned, who pro-
nounced the general malady as
the result of poison, occasioning in all /.
the patients fits of vomiting and terri
bic contortions. The physician inyesti-
gated the matter as well rs he could I'M
der the circumstances, and came to the
conclusion that the family had been
poisoned by the liver-puddings. In the
absence of all chemical examination he
could not tell the nature Of the poison.
As soon rs it was ascertained that the
poison was contained in the pudding,
word was Immediately sent to the par
ties to whom donations had been for
warded, but in many cases the informa-'
ton came too late, rs it was discovered
that no less than twenty-three persons
in Whitehaven We're suffering the most
intense agony, as the result of eating
the poisoned dainty.
Late advices tonight from the excited
community lead to the belief that sever
al persons will die. Two well known
physicians of this city went to White
haven this afternoon on special calls.
The belief is that the poison originated
in the copper kettle used in preparing
the pudding.

Something like a week ago well

a police officer whose beat covers por-
ton of that thoroughfare to assist him
in looking for young man who was
formerly conductor on one of the
principal lines of the Metropolitan Rail-
road, but whose whereabouts of late
have been enveloped in mystery. The
officer at once began his inquiries,
searching high and low in every place
where he had any reason to think the
young man might be. but without sue
cess. Tuesday morning, while he was
improving an off hour by making in
quiries at the South End, he found the
young man, and at once notified the
merchant, by whom he was informed
that the mother of the young man had
recently died in Paris, and left to him
As sole heir the sum of $4,000, which
has been awaiting an owner while the
search was in progress. The officer
learned that he had been out of employ
ment for some time, from which it will
be inferred that the announcement of
his good fortune will be doubly gratify-
ing.-Boston Trareller.
