and her screams brought two Of her
brothers TO the rescue. The rascal fled
along the railroad track 10 Hanlin, pur-
sued by the young men. Reaching the
station he took refuge on freight car,

Captain Logan, of the schooner
Katie E. Stuart, which arrived Satur-
day, reports that when off Whitehead
he saw a whale about fifty feet long
coming toward the vessel. He threw
a billet of wood at the monster,
which seemed to enrage it, and it
dived under the vessel and came up
alongside, blowing water on to the
deck. 1t was struck by several mis-
siles, but did not seem afraid. Then
bilge water was pumped overheard.
This drove the whale off tor few
minutes, but it came back and was
evidently about to strike the vessel,
when it was struck close to the blow
hole by a large lump of coal. This
seemed to take the courage out of
the whale, and it swan off in the
direction from which it had first
come.-Halifax IN. 81 Chronicle.

A Remarkable Phenomenon.

We are informed that a gentleman
living in Wakulla county, by the
name Of Cox, who y cultivating a
small farm, upon arising one morning
last week was surprised to fand that
during the night his residence had
been changed from region where
no water could be seen and was stu
ated on the border Of lake. When
he retired the evening before his
house was far away from any pond,
lake or river. but upon going out
pext rMorEing his surprise can he
iMssined when. instead of his gar
den, an immense sink. fifty or sixty
yarda square, filed with water, run
hing up within eighteen or twenty
feet OF his residence, met his gaze.
During the night th,s transformation
occurred, leaving not even q vestige
oi the tallest pine trees which were
standing in their full majesty only
twelve houIs before, These sinks,
however, are not unfrequent in shat
county. It has only been y short
tive since that sink occurred near
LaveDelers Mill, n"se remarkable
than the one alluded to ah,ve, in that
il occurred upon the very tp of a

they were about to leave when they
saw an old leather trunk in the cor

out Of curiosity than with the ex-

In that trunk was nearly $4,000 in

Royal Scandals.

There is good deal OF scandal
floating about just now respecting
our royal family. The recent mys-
terious visit to England of the Ger
man Empress has been explained.
She came very suddenly, and while
actually the guest of the Queen. the
latter packed up and started for Bal
moral, while her distinguished guest
went home almost as quietly as if
she had been private individual.
1t is now said that serious misun-
derstanding had arisen between the
Queen and her eldest daughter. the
Princess Royal Of Germany, aud
that the Empress came over as medi-
ator but failed. Old people profess
to remember that the mother and
daughter were always Quarreling 10
fore the marriage of the latter, and
that this was a serious bette noir of
the late Prince Consor,'s.
This occurrence has served to re-
produce a scandal respecting the Ger
man Empress herself. The fact that
she and her husband were about to
celebrate their "golden wedding" in
a style of great magnificence enabled
various scandal monRers to recall the
fact that during nearly the entire
fifty years since they were married
the Emperor and Empress have abso-
lutely lived apart. believe, how
ever, that no one pretends to insinu-
ate anything against the private
character of the Empress. The boot
appears to be on the other leg. The
Crown Prince of Sweden has been
paying a visit to England, with a
view, it is said, to see if he can take
a fancy to our Princess Beatrice

forked tails, similar to those of our

A BRAVE MANS END.
The Hero of q Famous Railway
Incident Killed in q Mining
Quarrel.

Quarrel.
A man who once did noble and
heroic act has come to dreadful
end. One day train was flying over
the Pennsylvania Railroad at the rate
of forty Eailes an hour. There was a
child, little girl, on the track, and
she was suddenly discovered when
but a short distance away. A glance
was enough to show that it WAS i'm
possible to stop the engine before
reaching her 1t was only practical
BILE to slow the engine, and this to
but limited degree. The whistle
was sounded, but the child was deaf
or bewildered and took no heed of it..
There was but one thing to do, and
that the railroad engineer did. He
crawled down the fender or "cow.
catcher" and, while thus flying over
the track, he chung with one hand to
the cow-catcher" and with the
other, ir the nick of time, he
snatched the little girl literally out of
the jaws of death and sped ON with
her in safety. II is sad to know that
a man capable of an act like this has
met miserable end. Some time ago
Grier, for such was his name, went
out II Leadville to seek his fortune.
He found employment in that wild
place as barkeeper in place known
az the Merchants Restaurant. A
short time ago one Richie, liquor
dealer from Arkansas, came to Lead
vile and made partial agreement
with the owner of the restaurant to
take an interest in it. The bargain
was not yet consummated and there
had been some pickering, in conse-
quence of which the owner told Grier
not to allow Richie to come into the
place. Not long after this the two
men came into collision, and one
night few days since violent
quarrel ensued. This was at the
threshold of the saloon. A crowd
had gathered at the sound Of con-
tention, but scattered at that of q
pistol Several shots were heard and
Grier fell to the sidewalk. He never
spoke or breathed after his fall.-N.

New York the Eden of HOmicides.

New York should be the Eden of
homicides. Murder can be COM
mitted here with as little danger to
the murderer as in any place on the
globe assuming to be civilized.
Many of those struck out of life are
doubtless of the sort who benefit the
community by their exit, but their
slayers are as bad as they and their
execution would be the only henevo-
lent act they have had any share in.
The only murderers who get justice
in Manhattan are those without
money, influence or friends. 1t seems
impossible to hang in New York any
man who wears clean shirt, deep
dyed though his hands be in blood.

walked three miles to give testimony at the
county seat and returned the same day He
says 81 can sight rifle gun as well as
could GO years ago, and can bring a squirrel
nearly every time, and only for slight trem-
BILE of the hand would not miss one shot in
hundred" In reply to the question, "On
which side were your sympathies during the
late war;" he replied: "Iwas always Union
man. had lG sons in the Union army and
two in the rebel army, and my sympathies
were with the Union by IA majority" When
asked if he knew which of the boys were
right, he said ~ know which l think was
right, capn. There war Is majority in that
ar family, including me- holp the boys on
the Union side" He has been twice mar
ried, and Is the father Of "a children. He
served in the war of 1912, but draws no pen
sion. 1t is said by the ex-soldiers that he did
good service during the war by aiding Union
soldiers to communicate with their families
when they were in the rebel lines, and in
many other ways. If he can't get pension
for services in either the war of 1912 or that
of the rebellion, he certainly ought to get a
liberal one for his services between the two.
The old man is in INDECENT circumstances.
