LOWELL, MASS October 21.-At the reser-
voir In Centreville this morning, at the city
water works, five derrieks fell, killing Owen
Elmer, iaborer, instantly, and seriously, per-
haps fatally, injuring three others. About three
weeks ago the stone lining of the reservoir
caved In on three sides and about a hundred
men were put at work clearing away the debris,
preparatory to rebuilding. A long guy to which
all the derricks were attached, was snapped
in two by the strain and the derrcks fell with
q great crash. The injured are James p.
Roberts, city engineer; Patrick Mongowan, Jno.
Royal and VIM. Clew. The latter received only
q scalp wound.

Sea Lions and the Fishermen.

A bulletin of the fish commission says: Mr..
Joseph d. Redding, one of the California fish
commissioners, writes, August IL, 1885, that
he has invited DR.. H. w. Hardness, DIR. H. n
Behr, and Mr.. Adolph Sutro to investigate and
report upon the subject of sea lions. The sea
lions occupy the bays and coast near San Fran
cisco in countless thousands. They are very
yoracious, and it is alleged that they destroy
hundreds of thousands OF pounds of edible fish
daily. The fishermen declare that their bust
ness is rapidly declining from this cause. Their
curious manner OF living upon the rocks about
the Golden Gate, renders the sea lions one of
the curiosities of the Pacific coast 1t may be
thought best TO protect them within a national
reservation rather than to try to exterminate
them. Mr.. Redding intends TO present an eX-
haustive report to the California legislature
and to the United States fish commission.
