A ROMANCE OF THE BRIDGE.

A New York Times historian $50 he

cooperation" with Frank James and
Henry James Jr, in an attempt to rob
the mail and obtain letter which con-
tanned pointer on Western Union in
transit from Jay Gould to the Princess
of Madagascar. To effect this happy
result the drivers of all the mail wagons
were chloroformed, and the mail was
hurriedly searched. The letter looked
for was not discovered it was after
ward ascertained that Mr.. Gould had
used a postal card--but the historian
found the following document which
sufficiently explains itself The letter
was addressed to a young lady in Mil
waukee, whose name is withheld for the
sake of the historians relatives, who are
dependent upon him for support. 1t
reads thus:

to skip,down to where the interesting part
of the letter begins, but read it right
straight through, or l shall never for
give you. You will, won't you?
Well, we had an awfully stupid trip
down here, the only pleasant incident
was when a fat woman fell out of top
berth onto the porter, who was crawl
ing under our berth, right opposite, aft
er pas shoes. Pa had tried to hide his
shoes, you know, so as not to have to
pay the porter for polishing them, but
it was no use. The old lady gave him
a quarter (the porter. not pa) for being
there when she fell out. There was alb
somtely no one on the train worth
speaking to, and so was awfully glad
when we reached New York at last, Just
a little more than three hours ago. But
what an awful lot of things have oc-
Cured in these three hours!
Kate, it seems like fate that pa
brought us with him to New York. You
see, we came to the Aston House be-
cause pa has to transact business down
town, but of course you don't know
that the Astor House is down town,
after ALL But it is, though. We were
landed in the Grand Central Station,

Irish Conger Eels.

81 was reading in the Sun the other
day story of big cells and sea snakes,
said an old fisherman, who once caught
mackerel and behring's off the deep sea-
coasts of Ireland, but now earns his liv-
ing by grabbing in Newark Bay. 81
dom think the average American has
much idea of what a real big eel is.
When they see one little larger than
usual they say it is a serpent. Ii they
saw the congers off the Irish coasts
they would have some reason to call
them serpents; for you know there are
no snakes in Ireland. st. Patrick drove
them all into the sea, and it is COM
mon superstition that they became
conger cells. You can't find them any
where else in the world. OF course
they catch cells here, and everywhere,
that they call conger, but they are no
more like the Irish conger than
sprat is like salmon, | know it
is hard to credit it, but | have caught
scores of them, each ten feet long and
nearly as thick as mans thigh. They
are only to be found in the deepest
water, and are fond of lurking under
great rocks. They are caught with a
stout line and hook. and will grab at
any bait offered them. But fishermen
don't much care to hook them, and
when one is hauled into boat he
makes, usually, an unwclcome addition
to it's occupants. He lashes around
| like a boa constructor. He never at
! tacks man, but if your foot gets into
his mouth you must take his head of
to get it out again. An Irish fishing
crew, however, is not likely to be long
bothered with him. They daze him
with blow from boat hook and then
cut deep into the back of his neck; but
even after that has been done he must
be watched, or he will pass quickly over
| the side and back into the sea.
Dublin, suppose, is the best market
for conger eels, and after we had caught
lot OF extra big ones we used to run
for Kingston harbor, and land them on
the pier. Ladies strolling on the pier
often nearly tainted at seeing one
going straight at them. 1t was impos-
sible to persuade them that the eel did
not intend TO attack them. The fact
is congers get stone blind when they are
few hours out of the water and have
no idea where they are going. They
viii live for days, however. out of their
element.
"No, not even in the sea will congei
attack man so far as l know They
will take dog down, though. l have
seen one seize good-sized water span
iel by the throat and throw his tail over
its back so that the poor brute sank with
hardly a struggle. IN. T. San.

LOST IN SIGHT OF HELP.

A Wreck on the New Jersey Coast-Futuo
Efforts of the Life-Saving Crew to Res
cue the Sailors - Five Bodies Washed
Ashore.
BEACH HAVEN, N. j., Jan. IL.
The barkentine Elmira, from Salamanca,
England, struck on Long Beach nearly OPP
posite Life-Saving Station No. 81, about
mile east of this place, on Tuesday evening
about seven p. m. She was soon discovered
by the Life-Saving patrolmen and they
notified the crew of the Life-Saving Sta.
ton. After several fruitless attempts lines
were shot over the Elmira's bow. The wind
was blowing gale and the rain fell in tor
rents, making the work of the men both on
shipboard and on shore especially difficult,
and impeding the movement of the line.
The rope, however, was finally pulled up
by the barkentine's crew and the usual
questions shouted from The craft to land IL
all was right and taut, and IL 1t was safe
to hang the life-car. While the work Of ad'
iusting the car was in progress, delayed by
the Recovered rope, the Elmira swung
around side to the sea, slipping the rope aft
and throwing it out OF position. Those on
the shore could hear the shouts OF the sail
ors and the dash of the breakers on the
hull. Steadily the Life-Saving men worked
to adjust the car, when suddenly great
wave struck the barkentine and swept
over her, carrying everything with it.
When the spray cleared as the mammoth
wave receded it was evident that those on
board had been washed into the ocean. It
REQUIRED but a few minutes then for the sea
to break the vessel in pieces, which were
strewn along the beach and carried over 1t
to the hay, a body of water some fifteen
miles in length and seven in width. Moth
ing could be done further by the men on
the beach. They watched the timbers as
they were dashed on the sands and swept
away again. Every fragment was exam
ined in the hope that some of the crew
could be found clinging to the wreckage.
but without avail.
After the high tide had subsidized and the
dawn of morning aided, the search con-
tinued and examination was made, but
nothing could be found TO show that there
had been any life on board. Save wom-
ans dress and Bible, everything had
been swept out to sea or over the beach in
to the bay, excepting some debris lodged
among the hills. The ice in the bay pre-
vented any messenger from reaching the
main land and the nearest point to tele'
graph Office. To-day five bodies were
washed on the beach, evidently those OF
the Inflated Elmira's crew. Three of those
bodies came ashore near Lffe-Saving Sta,
| ton, No. 20, enc near Station No. 10, and
one near Stavon No. ID.

DUQuoIN, ill.,, Jan. ii.
News reached here to-day of sad affair
that occurred at the little town OF Frank
fort, in Franklin County, Wednesday
night, in which the efforts of party OF
practical jokers resulted disastrously to
one of them. Some of "the boys" arranged
TO have little fun at the expense of r. L.
Can ter. Having perfected their plans,
San Wayne invited Carter to go out and
shave time" They visited the house of
Thomas Hammill. They knocked at Ham
mills door, and a voice inside inquired,
"Who's thereY The only reply was more
loud knocking en- the outside. Again Ham,
mill called out, "Who is it and what do
you wantY Receiving no answer, Ham
mill suddenly threw open the door and be-
gan to shoot blank cartridges at Wayne
and Carter. Wayne, pretending to be badly
scared, ran as If for his life. Carter took
different view of the situation. He didn't
stop to reason with the man who was
shooting at him, or to give or ask any ex-
PLANTATION. He simply saw that, as he be-
lieved, his life was in jeopardy, and acted
on the first impulse. As the second report
of Hammilps pistol rang out, 1t was replied
| to by a well-directed shot from 3Scaliber
revolver which Carter brought into requi-
sition. The bullet struck Hammill in the
| Jaw, and was Immediately followed by
second shot from Carriers pistol that lodged
| q bullet in Hammill's neck. Seeing Ham,
mill iall, Carter stopped shooting and com
| menced shouting, soon drawing crowd to
the scene. Latest news from Frankfort
was that Hammill was still alive, but his
| wounds were considered mortal.

PARIS, Jan. II.
Regarding the retaliation proposed in

American pork, La France publishes
most sensible and forcicle leader, written
by the distinguished economist, Nj. Simon
In, protesting against the present policy OF
prohibition, and clearly demonstrating
that France will be the greatest sufferer.
M. Simonin writes: "The bill of M. Bert is
a most absurd and most dangerous meas

value of the imports of pork fell in the last
year from &c, 100000 francs to 100000 francs.

American Consuls to their Government,
have directed attention to the alleged adul-
iteration of French wines. The analysis OF
the munipal laboratories OF Paris lend color
to this charge, and perhaps give cause for
the action of the American Congress: Ii

importation of French wines another
enormous loss will be inflicted on French
commerce.. and this at the very moment
when our economic disturbance and dimin-

from Thomas Rutledge, from his stable
on Eighteenth street. Howard was

The Truth In Regard 10 Monday
Nights Accident on the
IL. z. Rond.

Monday night, at nearly 10 O'Clock,
a wIld-eyed youth, with disarrayed at
tire, u note book in one hand and a
pencil in the other, might have been
seen rushing around the streets Of
Cheyenne in a state bordering on
frenzy, 1t was the Sun reporter, and
he had struck a sensation, or thought
he had. Through a hardly creditable
fundamentally he had found that an
accident had happened on the Union
Pacific road. Now, the said Union
Pacific road covers a considerable
stretch of country, and to say that
there was an accident upon 1t without
locating its whereabouts is giving n
considerable latitude to imagination.
The reporter in question could get no
particulars from the railroad officials,
30 he "evolved from his inner con-
sc~iousness" u more or less brilliant &C
count Of the accident, locating it at
some supposititious point east of Sidney.
How near he got to the facts will be
seer by a comparison of his account
with the following, which Is authora-
tive and correct:
on Monday night at Edison, lN
miles west Of Laramie, freight train
No. IL broke in two, the engine and
two Ears went through the side track
and off the west switch, the rear por-
ton running down the track and col
liding with freight train No. 9, which
was standing on the main track be-
tween the switches, and wrecking it
badly. Twelve Drawbacks on No. =
were broken, and seven cars of No. IL
were thrown from the track, some Of
them being a total wreck. They were
loaded with iron and coke.

between the tender and head car of

Cattle Thieves In Colorado.

There seems to be a waking upamong
the cattlemen all over the state. They
have evidently come to the conclusion
that the quickest way to stop cattle
stealing is to punish the thieves. The
stockgrowers of the north, south and
of the plains on the east OF us are de-
voting much of their time to the detec-
tion and punishment of thieves. There
vas a time when the loss of a COW or
two was considered too trifing to in
vestigate. The thieves grew holder,
and thefts became of so common ecu
renee that the cattlemen threw off their
Indifference and began to keep a look
out for providers. Stock stealing a
