what "a Narrow Foot Did.
From the San Francisco Chronicle

A young lady took car which brought
her to the foot of California street and there
took seat on the dummy car, which bore
her to the vicinity of her home on Octavia
street. As she left the car and was crossin q
the track upon the southern side her foot
slipped and turned and was caught fast in
the crack where the wire cable passes. Some
imperfection in the road bed had caused the
narrow aperture to expand and the young
girls narrow foot was entrapped The en-
gineer of tie east bound dummy saw the OBJ
stacls on the road in season to check his
swift approaching car and alighted with the
conductor and several passengers of investi-
eating mind, who endeavored to release the
slender foot, but their efforts were vain.
Another car and another brought up in
funeral row, and constant reinforcements in
the way of passing pedestrians cheered and
enlivened the scene. An attempt
was made to pry the iron rails forming
the cabled channel further apart; but they
firmly resisted all efforts. Everybody had a
suggestion. 'sPush you foot forward"
Pull it back; Zip it sideways" Lift your
heel higher" The unhappy girl was almost
falntlng, but she persevered in her efforts to
extricate the offending member. By this
time travel on the road had virtually ceased.
The last car had long ago passed, and was
steadily approaching to fall into line at the
rear of the singular procession. Downtown
passengers fretted and fumed or slowly
climbed the hill in disgust. On every street
corner groups of waiting people berated the
laxity of street-car management. Reporters
from all the downtown dailies were proceed
ing westward to learn the meaning of the
large crowd reported to have assembled in
the western addition. From the scene of the
accident ENJOYS had been dispatched to the
railroad shops to bring appliances for taking
up section of the road. At this juncture
u tall, brawny Englishman, in the dress of a
mechanic. forced his way through the throng,
and in CHEEKY voice, marked by the Derby
shire dialect, asked: ria ye tried on
fastenin' the young leddy's sheer" Ten but
tons few from as many button holes; in the
twinkiing of an eye the foot was free.

The New London Telegram says: Menhad
en- fishermen believe in observing the day of
rest. AS a rule, the steamers are in harbor
of a Sunday, and the men abstain from
work, affording the Telegram reporter an OPP
portunity to make their movements feature
of the paper. They report plenty of fish
on the south side of Long Island, but the
easterly wind and thick fog of the past fort
night have prevented them from making
large catches. Last Tuesday, while fishing
back of Long Island, the seine of the Annie
anchor and forty-fve fathoms of chain,
which was hauled on the Gallup's deck by
the purse lines. The anchor and
chain weigh over one thousand pounds,
and have the appearance of having
been in the water over quarter of centu-
ry. The waters cruised by the steamers
comprised those in the vicinity of Long
Island, Sandy Hook and Montauk Point.
Following is list of the menhaden steamers
in the harbor yesterday, their captains. the
companies employing them and the number

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
The Contest at Albany.

WASHINGTON. May 30.-The progress of the
political battle at Albany is anxiously watched
from here and evidences of a divided victory
for Conkling are growing to be recognized
In the departments and in the hotels the i'm
preston seems to be that Conkling will be
sent back to the Senate, but that Platt will
not. The latest report, that Platt claims suf-
fcient votes to ensure the election of himself
and Conkling, is handled with great deal of
care here. 1t is not generally believed that
enough Republicans have been secured for
that purpose, and even Conklings frmest
friends at the capital insist that his full vim
dication can only be recognized by the re-
turn of both Senator's and that without the
aid of Democratic votes

WASHINGTON, May 3o.-The principal in

monies conferred at Arlington to-day, where
great crowds of people went in all manner of
conveyances and on foot On the occasion
of the first organized Decoration day services
at Arlington in 1865, General, now President
Garfield, was the orator of the day. To-day,
however, he made no speech anywhere, and
the same is true of the Cabinet officers. The
Grafton at Arlington by Hon. Mark Kunnel, a
member of the House from Minnesota. was
an able effort He called attention to the
fact that the government was as fully obiga-
ted to discharge the pension claims OF SOL
and deprecated the circumstance which he
understood to exist, that old veterans were
now thought to be, in direct violation of
law, being turned out of executive Offices to
make room for political helpers.

GIadstone,s Reproach to- Parneu.

LONDON, May 31.-There was a very lively
scene in the House of Commons last night.
Mitchell Henry called the attention Of the
House to a breach of privilege and said that
Mr.. Egan, treasurer of the Land League,
had written a letter to the newspapers
comparing some of the members of the
House to blacklegs upon race course. Glad
stone reproached Parnen for acknowledging
as his friend the writer of SO scurrillous a
letter. Ireland, he said, was disgraced by
having her cause committed to such hands.
Sir Stafford Northcote said the letter was a
species of terrorism. The House then re-
sumed consideration of the land bill.
