A SEA MONSTER.

Saturday morning while three
Italian fishermen-Frank Costa, Diaz
Angels and Frank Capitana-were
hauling in their sardine nets, off
Angel Island, they were surprised
by vigorous tug, which indicated
that some fish larger than any sar-
dine ever seen in these waters had
been caught. The net was securely
fastened to the boat, which soon
began to move rapidly IN the direc-
ton of the city. For nearly three
hours the boat was dragged about
the bay, until at length it became
evident that the monster entangled
in the net had become wearied, and
he was hauled up and dispatched
with clubs. The unexpected prize
was taken to the wharf and subse-
oucntly to Cessna Constantine's
Fisherman's Home, No. 3 Vallejo
street. The most experienced fisher
men declare that they have never
beheld fish of similar appearance.
1t is an ugly looking specimen,
measuring nine feet eight inches in
length, two feet wide and five feet in
circumference. The head in some
respects resembles that of a sturgeon,
possessing the characteristic snout,
nose and teeth of that fish. The
mouth is one and one-half feet wide
and is situated underneath the head,
as in the shark. 1t is without scales,
lacks dorsal fin, but is provided
with two pairs of side fins and a
propeller. The color of the skin is
light gray, notified with blue-black
spots Erdmiaer.

A TEXAN ROMANCE.

DALLAS (IeNas), Sept. Ia
weary and low-spirtcd German,
named Morris Mostels, who reached
here few days ago, in search of his
wife, tells an exceedingly sad story.
Seven years ago he arrived in New
Orleans and soon afterwards married
Miss Margaret Weber. The day
following this event he was drugged,
robbed and carried aboard a German
vessel bound for Cardiff, England.
The vessel was eleven months reach
ing that port. He went to the German
Consul at Cardiff, who sent for the
captain of the vessel and compelled
him to deliver Mostel to the German
authorities. He was pressed into
the army at Berlin to serve three
years and nine months. At the eN-
piration of three years and six
months he deserted and returned to
New Orleans to find that his bride
had left the city soon after his mys-
FERROUS disappearance and gone no
one knew whittier. He started out
to search for her. After wandering
over the greater part of the United
States and Canada and writing hum
dreds of letters, while in San Antonio
Wednesday he received a letter
from her at Dallas. She told him
that she had given him up for lost,
and had married Edward Kronan,
bnt that she would leave Kronan and
live with him. He took the next
train for this city. Here he met with
another disappointment, for Kronan
a few days ago removed to Abilene.
The indefatigable Mostel took the
train for Abilene at once, and it is
expected that there will be a scene
in Kronan's house when the long-lost
husband reaches his destination.

WoMEN'S ADVANCEMENT

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-At the Con
gress of the Advancement of Wo-
men Mrs. Jennie +. Fraisteth of
Utah read paper on "The Women
of Utah" She said the women of
America did not begin to know the
tcrribleness of the degradation of
women in that Territory, where po-
lygamy held sway. Travellers in
Utah might in vain ask questions as
to why the Mormon women were
so degraded even in Salt Lake City,
where the Mormons have adopted
many of the fashions and ways of
the outside world. 1t was easy to
distinguish Mormon women from all
others. They seemed to carry about
with them a mark like that of Cain,
which made it perfectly easy to tell
them wherever they went. The true
secret of this was, that it had been
the policy of the Mormons to de-
grade woman. She was made to
believe that she was inferior to man
and that her only hope OF heaven
was to 90 in as a satellite of man,
that she was to be mans slave. Her
only hope of immortality was to be
married to some man that she might
be raised from the dead, not be-
cause of her own worth, but because
she was allotted to some man. The
Mormons thought no more of taking
additional wives than they did OF
buying cows.-Erdmine.

STRUCK BY A TYPK0GM.

The ship Camblian Monarch,
which left Bombay on July p, 1883,
arrived here Sunday with a cargo of
old iron rails, linseed and castor
seeds. She reports having had q
tempestuous voyage after leaving the
China Sea. On September 18th, when
the Great Loo Choo Island was sight
ed, the weather had a threatening
appearance, and there was tremen-
dous swell from the southeast. On
the following morning the wind in
creased to severe gale, and before
the day ended it had become a terrible
storm. The setting of the sun was
peculiar, as the logbook states. At
o'clock A. NJ. on the 9th typhoon
burst on the ship. During the day
the fearful squalls grew in force. The
waves rolled mountain high and
dashed over the vessel, washing away
everything movable on deck and tear
ing the tarpaulins from the matches.
Only with great difficulty did the
crew prevent the hold from being
flooded. At 8 o'clock in the evening
the wind began to abate, and at 10
O'Clock had become light. The calm
center of the typhoon was than pass
ing over the vessel. The tumult of
the sea did not decrease. AT mid
night gale sprang up from the
southwest. This was more destructive
than the previous one. To AVOID
drifting too near the islands, it was
determined to run the ship to the
northeast. The fore and main lower
topsails were set, but the wind was
so strong that both were blown ont
of the bolt ropes. For twelve hours
thereafter the ship scudded along
under bare poles. The heavy sea car
ried away the cabin slylight, deluged
the cabin and all the storerooms,
smashed in the forecastle door, broke
the accommodation ladder, burst in the
canvas coat of the mainmast, and u
large volume of water went down the
hold before repairs could be made.
Not until the 18th had the typhoom
moderated enough to allow the ship
to make sail. Almost continuously
thereafter unfavorable weather was
experienced until her arrival here
E'1dmiper.
