Prof. O'Connell, of the S. F. Ex-
change, is very abusive of the fes-
tive catfish. We accord to Daniel
all the credit due him as an angler
and a sportsman. but when he says
that catfish is not delicate NOR
sci, he simply writes himself down
an ignoramus. There may be no
joy in catching him, but the pleas
ure Of eating him compensates for
all that. He is not pretty. but he
is toothsome

WHEELER STRANGLED
HE WAS SWUNG OFF AT
NOON YESTERDAY.

Met His Death GameIy and
With Prayer.
Especial to the Appeal.
SAN Francisco, Jan. %. Wheel
er, the stranger, was hung at noon
to-day at the County Jail. Long
before the time of execution the
street in front of the building was
crowded and the thoreughfare be-
came almost impossible. The
Sheriff had issued 400 tickets of adj
mittance to members Of the press,
county officers and their friends
and members of the medical frater-
nifty. The death watch in the Jail
the night before say that Wheeler
was very restless and slept but lit
tie as the time for death approach
ed he seemed overcome with fear
and the opinion was expressed that
he would die from sheer cowardice.
In the morning he seemed more
composed and gradually he seemed
to accept the situation with calm
ness and resignation. A Catholic
priest attended him and he died in
that faith. When he came to
mount the scaffold his tread show
ed the boIdness of lion and he
stood upon the drop without a
tremor. just before the black cap
was put on he muttered prayer
which was inaudible even
to those nearest him. The
drop fell at 1876, and Wheeler
went six feet, four inches from the
drop to the end Of the rope. After
the fall there was not SO much as a
culver in his limbs the neck being
broken at once. There was not
soul present to sympathize with
him, and on all sides was a general
of satisfaction, such as
was heard when John Divine was
hung some years ago at the same
place.

The Postal Robbery.

1t is quite hard for the newspe-
pers to receive any definite inform
alton relative to the postal robbery.
1t comes to the APPEAL, however,
from source considered re-
liable, that about a week
ago last Saturday an investigation
was held in this city with closed
doors and the result is that Haw.
ley was exhonorateG from any
criminal participation in the rob-
berry, but reprimanded for careless
ness and neglect of duty. Rising
was arrested and released on bail
pending further examination.

Who He Was.

The following from the Reno Ga
zette gives another clue to the ideE
tity of the man who was fatally in
jured last Saturday night on the
V. & T. Railroad near the Mound
House: Stephen Bowker, who was
discharged from the county Jail
here on the 18th after having served
a sixty-days sentence for selling
whisky to Indians, was killed at the
Mound House last night by the
cars. His arms were cut off and he
was otherwise injured.

PRESERVE THE FISH.

Attention Called to Widely Ex-
tended Wrong.
The San Francisco Chronicle of
recent date says:
If the complaints Of the large
mill owners abobt Truckee to the
fish Commissioners are we'll found
ed. Nevada owes it to herself to
see to it that reform is made in
the construction of milling and
mining dams in that State. It is
charged that the Nevada dams are
all badly constructed, the evident
intent being to entrap the fish.
The California commissioners pro-
pose to insist upon an investigation
of the matter and it is to be hoped
that the Nevada Fish Commission
will not prove dilitery in a work
which is indispensable to the per-
sevation of some of our choicest
food fishes
This state of affairs has been 60
ing on for years in Nevada and the
authorities have paid very little at
tention to it. Again in the spawn
ing season large quantities of fe-
male fish are taken and sold when
tLey ought to be thrown back
into the stream. A few days ago
the writer saw a trout in this city
which on being opened contained
10000 eggs, and heard of several
others. Think how many more
fish would be running in the
streams and lake Eve years from
now, if the men who took these fe-
male fish. had been possessed Of
enough fish sense to have thrown
them back in the water. For the
sake of a few dollars in hand, are
to be found hundreds of men who
would permanently injure the fish
plant OF this State. Such men
ought to be made examples of.

yesterday being arrested again were
sentenced each to thirty days for

Senator Warner Miller. known
more Familiarity as "Wood.Pulp
Miller" of Herkimer, New York,
was born in Oswege county. that
State, August 18th, 1888, and is
therefore in his forty-sixth year.
He was a delegate to the National
Republican Convention in Phila.
delphia, in 1872, and in 1874 was
elected to the New York Legisla-
ture, serving two terms.
Mr.. Miller then entered National
politics and was elected ss repre-
sentative to the Forty sixth Con
gress and was returned to the
Forty-seventh. In 1881, when
Conkling and Platt resigned their
seats in the Senate, Mr.. Miller was
chosen by the New York Assembly
to succeed Thomas G. Platt and
took his seat October 11th. in the
same year. His term of Office does
not expire until the 3rd of March.
1887.
Senator Miller, by his recen ma
nipulation of the Republican eau
Gus of the New York Legislature
securing the election by the Lower
House, of Mr., Sheard as its speak
er, has won for himself the sudden
reputation as being the leader OF
the New York Republicans and the
well-known fact that the Senator is
antagonistic to the present admins
tration of Arthur gives especial
significance to his political con,
trolling power in his State as indi
eating that he will become a prom
inent factor in debating against
Arthur's denomination at Chicago
next June.

WASHINGTON, March lS.-Gen. Grant

to be slightly better than at any time
since his fall. The General is accompa.
MED by Mrs. Grant and Col. Fred and
his wife and Mrs. Bessie Sharp, of Yank.
ton, n. Y. They remain about three
weeks.
The President to-day transmitted let
tiers from Secretaries Lincoln and Chan.
dler opposing the proposition to offer a
reward for the discovery and relief Of
Lieut.. Greeley's party by private enter.
prise. They think it would be inadvisa.
BILE to offer an incentive TO inadequately
prepared private parties when the Gov
ernment expedition is thoroughly
equipped. Another reason urged against
the proposition is that the Government,
by inviting such cooperation, assumes
certain responsibility towards those
whom it thus induces to enter on a haz
ardous enterprise, and its offer of to- day
may lead to the necessity of further ex.
peditions for the relief and rescue Of
the Greeley party.
