The Pike County Trout.

I'd. Mott, the Pike county historian,
tells Of monster brook trout that has
tantalized the sportsmen of that section
for ten years. It has been seen time
and time again. "Crack hy-casters,
says Mott, "have come from New York
and Philadelphia every season to try
their skill on him. Sometimes as many
as half a dozen have gathered at the
pool at one time. They fshed singly.
i'll pairs, by threes, and by skies. They
fshed at daylight, at nightfall, by moon
light. Sunny days, rainy days, chilly
days, were tried. They fished with the
wind in the north, when no angler ven-
lures forth. They fshed with the wind
in the west, when the trout will bite the
best. The fished with the wind in the
east, when the front will bite the least.
They fshed with the wind in the south,
which blows the bait in the fsh's mouth.
But the mammoth denizen of the pool
trimmed his sail to no wind, and re-
mained safely in port. One time team
ster, who had taken a day off to go trout
fishing. came running hatless to the
Falls. He was as pale as sheet. He
carried piece of his chestnut pole in
each hand. He had half of his horse
hair line left.

I was DATED with picker1s belly fin.
played him till he broke my pole an
my line, an here they be !!
"People rather believed the teamster,
and he was quite the lion of the6ack-
woods. He was promoted to be SAWYER.
But few days later Doc Jaggers trapped
a mink on the creek that had book in
its jaw and four feet of horsehair line
hanging to it. Then that teamster lost
caste. He was discharged from the mill.
His old place as mule driver was re-
fused him. He went away, and is be.
lieved by his former comrades to be q
homeless wanderer on the face Of the
earth"

to represent the entering wedge to
more perfect social equality than he as

Dynamite In Vienna.

During the last few weeks the Vienna
police have made the discovery that
there must be a quantity Of dynamite and
other explosives in the hands ii the
Austrian anarchists not inferior 10 that
discovered in London. Some portion of
this, it is conjectured. has been fabri-
Gated in Vienna, While the rest comes
from America via Switzerland, which is
kept until wanted by the anarchists in
Austria or in other portions Of Europe,
perhaps even in London, so that it would
not be amiss for the English police to ex-
tend their observation to the imports
from all Continental ports. Concerning
the manufacture of these explosives, the
police claim to have discovered that dur
ing last autumn regular lectures were
delivered in the workmen's quarters on
the best methods of making and safely
storing dynamite, nitro-glycerine and
other explosives. On receiving this in
telligence the detectives made a raid on
certain houses and discovered three
laboratories completely fitted with all
the articles necessary for the fabrication
of explosives, together with large guam
titles Of dynamite in different forms of
nitro glycerine and Of its comronents-
salphuric acid, nitric acid, glycerine and
kaolin. The police are convinced that
many similar laboratories exist, and
therefore the Vienna press has been or
dered to publish nothing on the subject.
Recently workman was caught endeav-
oring to slnurgle basketful o. small ex
plosive bombs from a suburb into
Vienna, the contents Of the basket be-
ing detected by an e1cisenan searching
for spirits. These small dynamite
grenades. all Of Vienna make, are picked
mp in the streets almost daily on the
traralines, bat hitherto withou. having
done damage, the makers being proha-
bIy 70. sufficiently skilled.
