ANOTHER FISH STORY.
Canada Says America Has the Bulg'
on the Fishery Question.

OTTAWA, Ont, July 14.-In the house
of commons last night, Mr.. Fo-bes asked if
it was the intention of the government,
during the continuance OF the free fishing
arrangements allowed American fishermen,
10 pay 10 the fishermen of the Dominion an
equivalent to the duties paid on fish
shipped TO the United States by Canadian
shippers. Mr.. Mcclellan said that no such
decision had been arrived at, bat the whole
fishery question-had yet TO be considered.
On motion to 60 into committee of supply,
Mr.. Weldon rose 20 charge the government
with neglect, delay and Encouragement in
relation TO the fishery question. After the
expiration of the Washington treaty the
government had delayed action until it was
at the mercy of the Americans. While
Canada undertook TO protect American fish
ermen from mOleStatiOn in her waters, the
United States did not offer any protection
TO Canadians fishing in American waters.
No treaty or other arrangement was neceS-
Sary to enable American vessels to buy bait.
ice or other supplies from Canadian mer-
chants, so that Canada was getting nothing
whatever for the use of her fisheries The
whole arrangement was of a very One-sided
character and Americans were not likely
to give anything for what they now en-
joyed. Sir John Macdonald denied that the
government had been guilty of neglect or
delay. Had negotiations been opened in
1S14-or 1884 the government would have
cOurted a repulse. The United States
government cOuldnot be expected TO change
its whole policy at the request of the Cana
dians. He deprecated the course of Mr..
Weldon in bringing on discussion of the
subject now. The government had al
ready done great deal for the fishermen
of the maritime provinces. The catch Of
fish by Canadian fishermen was not re-
stricted by the use of Canadian waters by
Americans. Mr. Mitchell contradicted Sir
Johns statements that the fisheries were
not being injured by Americans. The
maritime system Of fishing if continued
would ultimately destroy the fisheries alto
gether. After some remarks by Mr.. Nail
the matter was dropped.

A Costly Trick.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July IS Last night
some unknown persons visited the Hamp-
ton coal mines on the Pennsylvania road
and started twelve loaded cars down an
incline 600 feet in length. The cars dashed
into the tepple, completely demolishing it
and scattering coal and pieces OF the cars
in every direction. There has been re-
ductiOn of wages at the mine, but the
miners claim they had nothing to do with
the unlawful acts. Detectives are at work
on the case. The mines will be closed for
weeks. Loss by the wreck, $4,000.

Grover strictly for Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Circumstances
surrounding the appointment of George IL.
Martin as postmaster of Chattan ooga,
Tenn, give an indication of the presidents
disposition to carry out the civil service law
in spirit as well as in letter. This Office
was bone of contention between Demo-
cratic party leaders in Tennessee There
were at least ten applicants for the posi-
ton. Both United States senators from
Tennessee had candidates, the representa-
tives of the Chattanooga district had candi-
dates, and there were a number of appli-
cants indorsed by citizens of Chattanooga.
Martin was mailing clerk in the local post
Office, and at the solicitation of friends con-
sented to file his application, stating that
he had always been consistent Democrat
and reciting his faithful service under Re-
publican superiOrs. Although no outside
influence was brought to bear in his case
the president, after consideration of the
merits of the applicants, promoted Martin
from mailing clerk to postmaster.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 15.-The notori
Gus locality known as ''Skunk hollow" in
this city, was the scene this afternoon of a
fight which will probably result in the death

skull was crushed in, and his wife sustained
quite as serious injuries. The fight grew

A Murderer swung Off.

CINCINNATI, o., July Is The execu-
ton of Joseph Palmer (colored), this morn
ing, is the last that can take place in this
county under the present law, which deSig-
mates the Ohio penitentiary as the place for
all future executions. The execution was
private in the Jail yard, the scaffold being
shielded from view by the stone wall and a
large awning. A large number of people
were on the adjacent streets, which were
guarded by police, and promptly at 10
o'clock the condemned man was led on the
seaffold, where a short prayer was said by
a priest. Palmer said nothing. The dep
uty sheriffs were so excited they could
scarcely adjust the rope. At 1902 the
drop fell, but Palmer was such powerful
young fellow that his neck was not broken.
He writhed fearfully, and at the end of
twenty-siX minutes the sheriff announced
that the execution was over, but the body
was not cut down until some time later.
Palmers crime was the murder of William
H. Kirk, in his stable, on the afternoon Of
Dec %, 1888. The object of the crime was
robbery. William Berner and Palmer, both
of whom had been employed by Kirk, planned
and executed the murder They were almost

LONDON, July 15.-The Times has re-

which says that the Russians have advanced
in force to Zulfikar pass, and that they
are treating Persian territory as though
it was Russian. The dispatch also
says the British frontier commission

of the Russians has made the Afghans anX-
iOus, but they are determined to resolutely
resist any attempt to seize their territory.
They are puzzled at these awkward prep
arations of the Russians under cover of pa
cifc assurance. 1t is believed that Gen.
Allkhaneff, the commander of the
Russian advance, is determined to
force on war, and that he is
deceiving the czar in regard to his real in

A Sensational affair.

New YORK, July 15.-AugustuS Erwin,
a dry goods salesman, shot his wife to-day

be in n fair way of recovery. Erwin is a
Hebrew, twice the age of his wife.
who is a Roman Catholic, and married
him without her fathers knowledge.
The marriage was the direct outcome of the
Victoria MorriSini elOpement. The girl
Adele, whose father, Patrick O'Thayne, is a
wealthy laundryman, was a claSSmate of
Victoria, and the sensation caused by''Vic's
escapade' apparently suggested a similar
exploit to her too romantic
mind. Her own marriage occurred
Immediately after, and was unexpected by
everybody. The brides father has sup
ported them since, Erwin spending what
money he made on betting on horse races.
Lately Mr.. OThayne has made persistent
effort to wean his daughter away from
him. and all but succeeded last week
in carrying her off to Europe. The hus-
band upset his plans in the eleventh
hour by a trick and the steamer sailed with
out his wife, but with her father on board.
Immediately after Mrs. Erwin left him and
went to reside with her stepmother. She
called at the hotel to-day at his request
for an interview, and it was then that
he tried to kill her and himself.

The Steamer Brandywine.

The placing of the Steamer Brandywine
upon the route between this city and Phila-
delphia by the Wilmington Steamboat Co.,
is graceful acknowledgement of the gem
erous patronage extended said company by
the citizens of Wilmington.
The Steamer Wilmington was placed on
the course some three years ago, and the
courtesy and gentlemanly bearing of her
officers soon made her a general iavorite
with the people and she was literally sue
cess from her first coming.
Last year the patronage extended to the
Steamer Wilmington was out of all propor-
tions to the size of the boat, and the man
agement of the steamer at once decided to
accommodate their patrons and the Steamer
Brandywine fills the requirements of a first
class steamer in every respect.
The EUery EUening of last Tuesday said:-
THE Wilmington's sister propeller, the
Brandywine, just from the hands of her
builders, the Harlan and Hollingsworth
Company, made her inaugural trip this
morning on her regular routesbetween Phil
adelphia and this city. The clipper new
craft swung off from her moorings, the
Fourth street wharf, at 7.30 o'clock this
morning with large complement of passen-
gers aboard. She went down the Christi
ana at a good speed, aud, turning into the
Delaware, soon steamed herself without the
range of vision. The boat and all her fit
tings are entirely new throughout, and she
is designed foy fast travelling, with the safe
ty and comfort of her guests in view. She
is captained by Horace Wilson; engineer,
Peter Bloomsbury; pilot, W. F. P. Jacobs
Like the Wi lmington, she will be devoted
exclusively to the transportation of passen-
gers and light traffic. In conjunction with
the Wilmington she will run during the
summer season, making two round trips
daily.

No Complaints at the Wilmington

Scarcely week passes but what some of
our Peninsula exchanges are complaining
about their disorgauized postal facilities.
Wilmington, we are pleased to state, has
but few complaints of this kind to make.
Postmaster Swiggett's extensive postal ex-
perience and his systemmatic business meth
DDS combine to preclude all such mail de-
rangements as those complained of by our
exchanges.
The WILMINGToNIAN is delivered to city
subscribers, very largely, through the post
office department, and even our suburban
subscribers have nothing but praise for the
fidelity with which they are served by the
letter carriers, independent of how uupropi-
tious the weather may be. Postmaster
Swiggett is sustained in his efforts to ad-
vance our postal interests by corps of val
liable assistants, and we but voice the pop
ular feeling when we state that the entire
postal service is as complete and as satisfae-
tory as could be asked for.
