In a Thirty Foot WeII.

From the BGrReSDttte t6d.) Mail.
Last.Sunday morning, about 3 O'Clock,
Capt. Powell was aroused by an unusual
noise out at his stables among his horses.
Going out he found his beautiful black
mare, "Daisy," greatly distressed. He
couldn't understand her uneasiness until
be began looking around for her colt.
Failing to find the little fellow, the
thOughtoecuTred to,him that maybe it had
fallen into a wei1 which was near by. His
fears proved true, for down in the deep,
dark well the brave little PeEeheron was
loundering about. The captain aroused
several hands on the place and in short
while the colt was drawn to the surface,
wrapped in warm blankets and sOon
restored. No limbs were broken, strange
TO say, from theheadlOng plunge. This il
a new and novel way to "raIse" colts,
but it is not always swell" to follow old

The French Expulsion Bill.

PARIS, June 22.-1n the debate on the sx-
pulsion bill in the Senate to-day, Premier
De Freycinet said that his Government
would not tolerate another Government
In France, and would take the full respon-
sibility for the expulsion Of the Princes.
He declared that order was being maintain.
ed throughout France, even at Decazeville,
where recurrence Of the recent disor-
ders had been prevented. That was not
the case in Belgium or in Great Britain.
In conclusion, he deprecated the confisca-
tion Of the property Of the Princes, insisted
that the common law would not apply to
the Princes, and urged the necessity of
Republican union as of supreme interest to
the Republic. Finally secret ballot was
taken, and the bill, as it came from the
Chamber of Deputies, was adopted by a
vote Of al to 1O7. The announcement of
the result was received with great applause
by the members of the Left.

An Important Discovery.

ANN ARBoR, MICH, June 25-Dr. V. c.
Vaughn, in examining a specimen of the
ice-cream which recently poisoned q num-
Der Of persons at Newton, has made the dis
covery that tyrotoxicon, the active element
In poisonous cheese which he discovered
cream, and was the cause of the sickness.
This proves that tyrotoxlcon is due to de-
composition Of milk, and may be devel.
oped in any milk which is kept in an i'm
pure atmosphere or unclean vessel. The
germ seems to multiply very rapidly, and
q small amount Of tainted milk will poison
q whole can. It is DR.. Vaughn's theory
that tyrotoxicon has much to do with chol-
era infantum, the symptoms of which are
similar to the symptoms Of cheese poison

OTTAWA, ONf., June 22.-The latest reve-

the Imperial Government has intimated by
cable, through Sir Charles Luppert, that
under no circumstances must the present
position Of Canada On the fisheries question
be maintained. The British Government
had expressed themselves as determined
not only not to back Canada mp, but to
take such measures as would stop all such
proceedings in the future. It is this cable
gram, received by Sir John Mcdonald,
which has brought about the concessions
which the Dominion Government proposes
now to make. Throughout there has evi-

have received reprimand from the Brit

tendent Amsdsn. General Freight Agent

about the same time with TWENTY-FIVE
switchmen from Toledo and other points.
Tho strikers Also began to gather In ap-
parently well-discipIined ranks, with de-
termination to prevent, II possible, any
movement Of freight trains. An engine
moved out OF the round-house and was
attached to train Of ten freight csrs which
started up the track. It had not proceeded
far when the strikers threw the switch
hfty police, accompanied by thirty. new.
gine was promptly run out from tho round
house, but the strikers had blocisd the
way with box-car. The police charged,
knocking. men right and left with
their clubs. Several arrests were made,
the crowd gave way, and . freight train
which had been abandoned In the forenoon
was coupled to the engine and ran north to
Thirty-eighth street. Here IL was switched
onto the main track and, guarded by over
one hundred police, pulled safely out Of
the city. Tomorrow curious things are
looked for. and 1t Is expected the strike
Will extend the whole length Of the road.

MUNICH, June 21-Murmurs are heard on
all sides regarding the treatment of the
late King. The people ask why his body
was not inferred in the grave of his fathers
in the Theatiner Church, instead of being
placed in vault containing the bodies of
distant relatives, and in which member
of the royal family was never before buried.
The official reason given for this course is
that the royal vault is already overflled,
but the humble classes believe that it il
because the King committed suicide.
