There were, however, only Q very

Those who had been captured
during che summer in the vicinity oi

The last startling novloty in tho

Torrfblv and Fatally In ur0u

MT. Charles Bolton, engineer of the fishing steamer Ranger, was fatally injured on board that vessel Thursday. The Ranger is new vessel. and was built by Hill, of Mystic, and received her boiler and machinery at the AL bertson < Douglass works. The steamer made her initial trip from New London on the 9th inst. New engines are liable to ''catch on the center" and it is supposed that the Rangers engine was caught and that Mir Bolton went down in the crank pit to start it over. It appears that the steam was not wholly shut off, as was supposed, and while Bolton was at work in the pit the engine started, and the keys in the crank pin caught him and threw him over. When picked up he was unconscious. His stomach was torn open in several places. both his hips were broken and he received several other bruises His death hourly expected. Bolton is g resident of Greenport, where he has wife and two children.

A Chinaman Fooled.

John Chinaman sometimes overreaches himself with tricks that vain, or is over reached by American hoodlums in ways that are dark. One of him lately advertised in Philadelphia that he would pay $1O for the arrest of any fellow that throws dead cats or dogs into his laundry" Two hoodlums dis covered that the fine for thus throwing was only $3 and costs. Accordingly, one of them perpetrated the assault and the other procured his arrest. John paid over the $1O to the latter and he paid his confederate's fine The pair then divided the remaining $6, and John departed with the remark, sMelican man no foole me some moree Melican man keepe he dlaun clatee."
