A FATAL DROUGHT.

Many Thousands Of Sheep Dea4
and Dying in Texas.
Major Bash, United States Army Pay
master, who has just returned to San An
tonic, Texas, from trip through the centre
of the sheep grazing section Of the State, re-
ports that terrible drought prevails in Pre-
sidio, Pecos. and Crockett Counties. These
counties embrace an area somewhat exceed
ing the acreage of the State Of Maine. Until
fortnight ago the larger part OF this coun-
try had not been visited by heavy rain Tor
eighteen months, and recent RAIN proves to
have done very little good, as the earth was
so parched that the water, instead Of filling
the small streams and reservoirs, was soaked
up by the burning prairies.
Major Bash says that for many miles, as
far as the eye can reach, the country is bare
of vegetation, not even weciS growing,
Hundreds of small streams are entirely dried
up. and water. even for living purposes, Is
sparingly dealt out at the ranches. He re-
lateS several instances that came under his
observation, showing the terrible erect OF the
drought on sheep and cattle. On the Meyer
half ranch. out of 5000 cattle, 5000 have
died within the pastmonth, and the prairie IS
literally strewn with gaunt carcasses, sur
rounded by hundreds of huge buzzards. On
another ranch 5000 sheep have died, while
one of the largest flock masters was COM
pelled to kill 500 lambs and neighboring
herder killed 1,20o lambs because their moth
ers were too weak from starvation to afford
them nourishment. Bash describes the STU
alton in this far West country as terrible
beyond description. The shepherds told him
that unless rains fell shortly every human
being aud domestic animal would be COM
pelled t. vaea.e that district and move to tho
north Of Texas.

The Mexican authorities believe in ga
short shrift and a sudden rope" for
train-wreckers. The House of Depu-
ties has passed the law which provides
for the immediate execution Of those who
hurl train to destruction, when appre-
hended in the act. Wrecks, particularly
of freight trains, have been of more or
less frequent occurrence ever since the
Mexican Central Railroad was opened
for business. The lawless bands which
so frequently gather upon the other side
of our frontier, and which never scruple
to plunder friend or foe. have on several
occasions found rich booty after caus-
ing q train to leave the track and 60 into
the ditch. Escape has been compare
lively easy for them, and it is represented
that immunity from severe punishment
has made them bolder and moro reck-
less, For the sake of loot they have
caused the death Of many a passenger or
railroad employe.

A new origin for the term ''painting
the town red" has been dug out by a
writer in the Harrisburg Penn.) 7ele-
graph. He has discovered in the archives
of the State that William Penn gave fifty
gallons of rum and twenty-five pounds
of red paint to the Indians for a certain
tract of land. Thereupon he comments:
"Just imagine that tribe of Indians fill
ing themselves up with that fifty gallons
of rum and doing the great decorating
act with twenty-five pounds CT red paint.

way the aborigines carmined the vicinity

The Independent says that $50 many
accidents occur from ignorant or reckless
uses of anything like mushroom, that
careful people hesitate to use the numer-
Gus good things in this class that are
everywhere about them. Some wholly
innocuous species are similar in appear
ance to some that are virulent, and may
be let alone until those who wonld eat
them became familiar with the distinc-
tions. But there are some that are easily
distinguished from the dangerous ones;
quite as easily or more easily than the
common mushroom. Mr. Worthington
Smith points out the Agaricus infundi-
buliformis as one of these. It is whitish,
and has cup turned inside out, as in the
case of an umbrella inverted by the wind.
The cup formed by the inversion recurves
a little at the edges, and as one sees it
along grassy paths, has the appearance of
a huge pale flower of some Convovulus
or morning glory" With common
care, says Mr.. Smith, it cannot be mis-
taken for any other species"

"The great Lick telescope, SAYS Il

'The great Lick telescope" says the
Boston Herald, "when mounted and
swung against the sky, will have focus
of ffty-tive feet length and neatly fifteen
feet longer than the largest one ever
made. 1t will be refractor. which means
that the image is formed directly to the
eye by the object glass, as contradistin-
guished from the Gregorian and Her
schclian telescopes. The largest instru-
ment ever known of the latter style was
DR.. Herschel's. The tube lacked but
eight inches of being forty feet in
length. What new revelations in the
heavens this largest and most powerful
of all refractors may disclose from its
costly minaret and the surprising aid it
promises to the further study of the sur
face of the moon alone, are matters which
already excite impatient expectation from
the whole scientific world.

Painting O War Picture.

"In painting war picture the artist
must first select battle of national in
terest and with certain dramatic value
of its own. Now comes the almost end
less task of collecting the material.
The soldiers who take part in
great engagement often represent almost
every locality in the country. All the
sources must be consulted. One can't
afford to be mistaken in single in
stance. 1t would be detected the very
first time an old soldier who was in the
fight visited the picture. But to make
you understand l will tell you how I COL
lected the material for the Siege of
Vicksburg. that Mr.. Morgan is now fin
ishing. First, 1 obtained access to the
War Department at Washington, D. c.,
and collected every photograph and
sketch pertaining to the fight. I also
obtained copies of the roll call of all the
Federals engaged in the battle. To
3S, 900 of these men 1 sent circular let
ters requesting them to send me their
full name, age. weight, height, and q
photograph. Thousands of those letters
have been answered. If they were all
collected and printed in book form I
honestly believe it would be the most
interesting and most unique contribu-
ton to the history of the civil war ex-
tant. Iwrote to Col. Fred Grant ask
ing him to send ME a photograph of
himself at the age when he was at the
battle of Vicksburg with his father. His
wife answered the letter, sending his
picture, representing lad of thirteen.
She wrote: Dear General: lncloscd
find a photograph Of Col. Fred. Grant at
the age when lie was at the battle OF
Vicksburg with his father, Gen. Grant.
1t is the only one we have of him while
at that age, and, as his mother prizes it
very much, will you kindly return it
when Your great picture is tinishedt'
"IIerc is the photograph of four men
all standing in row on crutchcs. You
will notice that each man has lost his left
leg. They wrote me a letter stating
that they were all engaged in the battle
of Vicksburg, all were from the same
neighborhood, all knew each other, and
all lost their left leg. Now, isn't that q

THE FISHERY QUESTION.

Another American Vessel Seized by
the Canadians,
The recents tseizure of the American fishing
schooner David J. Adams by the Canadians
for alleged violation of tie fishery laws has
been followed by a second seizure-the vic
tim this time being q vessel hailing from
Portland, Me- Like the David j. Adams,
the Portland vessel was seized for buying
bait in Canadian port, and also for neg
lecting to enter or clear at the Canadian
Custom House. A North Sydney New
Brunswick dispatch gives the following par
ticulars: ~
The American fishing schooner Ella NJ.
Doughty, Capt Warren Doughty, anchored.
outside the entrance of st. Anus Harbor

ber of barrels of bait She left on the 18th,

day, the l4th This morning Gthe l7th) tn s5e &
for purchasing bait and neglecting to enter or
clear at the Custom House. Captain Doughty
admitted purchasing bait and seams very
little concerned about the seizure, saying
that he will look to the American Govern
meut for protection. No instructions have
vet been received from Ottawa. The Col
lector of Customs at Baddeck, G. B., has IN
ouired into the facts regarding the seizure,
and expresses himself as satisfied that it was
legally made.
A Portland (Me) dispatch says: The re-
port that the fishing schooner Ella NJ.
Doughty, of Portland Capt Warren
Doughty, owner, had been seized oy the
Canadian Government, was confirmed.
A telegram has been sent to Senator Frye,
calling his attention to the matter. There Is
considerable excitement over the seizure, and
the Portland Fishing Exchange will, as q
body. take action in regard to it.
A Bangor Me dispatch says: News OF the
seizure Of the schooner Ella M. Doughty, OF
Portland, has caused much excitement
among the fishing trade in this section;
and the feeling against the provincial
authorities runs high. Unless settle
ment of this question is reached soon there
will be a very ugly feeling along the oor-
der. The Nova Scotians who sell BAIT 70
Yankee fishermen depend largely on this
traffic at this time of year for living,
and they feel much aggrieved that the
Dominion Government should try to SHUT
off their revenues Many prominent paper

A fisherman says that he has frequently
caught two fish on one hook in the
waters of Long Island Sound, one of the
fish having seized hold of the others
tail. he thinks that certain fish have a
habit of steering each other through
strong currents in this manner. When
taken out of the water exhaustion causes
them to tighten their hold, and thus the
angler is enabled to land them. 1t is ap-
parent that the fish story season is upon

FOUND GUILTY.
Alderman Jaehne Convicted in New
York of Bribery.

Alderman Jaehne Convicted In New
York of Bribery.
The case of Alderman Henry w. Jaehne
charged with receiving bribe of 100000
from the promoters of the Broadway surface
railroad in New York, was given to the jury
at ten minutes to eleven p. NJ, on the 18th.
The interest in the case deepened as the trial
drew to a close, and the corridors and hall
ways of the Court House were well filled
with politicians and friends Of the accused as
we'll as curiosity seekers.
On the reassembling of the court after sup.
per, at halt-past seven o'clock, Judge Bar
rett ordered the door to be locked, and it was
impossible to get in or out until the jury
retired, when the doors were opened.
were present and looked very serious,
especially while the judge was delivering
his charge. Assistant District Attorney Fell
lows in his summing up for the prosecution,
pointed his finger at Jaehue in scorn, but the
prisoner maintained his composure, although
he was ashy pale.
The jury returned to the court room at q
little after o'clock A. NJ, after two hours
deliberation, and rendered q verdict Of
guilty. Under the conviction Jaehne could
get ten years in State Prison or fine
of $1,000, or both. He was greatly
disturbed when the verdict was announced.
Judge Barrett stated that a. it was Sunday
morning he would defer further action until
Monday, and the prisoner was thereupon
conveyed to cell in the Tombs
The conviction of Jaehne was due mainly
to Police Inspector Byrnes and two detec-
tives. Byrnes testified that one night ut
his house, while two detectives were
concealed a few feet away, Jaehne had
confcSsed to racoiyinp 800 600 Ms
bribe for voting for the railroad
franchise in 1884; that the money had been
put in his locker in the Aldermanic room by
one Moloney, clerk of the board, and that
all the other members of the board save two
had received the same amount. The testi-
mony OF Byrnes was confirmed by the con-
cealed detectives.

FREAKS OF A CYCLONE.
Remarkable Occurrences During
the Storm in Ohio.

Remarkable Occurrences During
the Storm in Ohio.
Reports of the recent Ohio cyclone show
the remarkable freaks that these wind storms
Play with human life aud property. In
the house Of George Hoffman was an eight
months-old baby. 1t was picked up
by the wind, laid in a feather bed,
all. ana was was carrie carried OO' $50 feet. All All
was then deposited, and log was thrown on
either side of the child, pinning the bed to
the ground. After the storm a search was
instituted for the baby. One of the search
ers heard it cry, and, following the direction
indicated by the sound, found the little pet,
and restored it uninjured to the arms Of its
distracted mother.
Mr.. Curtis Hall, Jr., Of Neptune, reports
that he saw straws that were blown into old
oak trees. A bed in the house Of Andy Gin
tar was blown into the fields, and three chill
dren in it were carried along with it. All Of
the furniture was blown out of George Fox's
house. Feathers were stripped from chickens
on this farm as clean as though the fowls hid
been prepared by cook for the pot The
chickens we're caught by an obstruction
that held them for the wind to operate upon
them.
William Stevenson says that he saw the
cyclone approach. 1t looked like great
black ball in the act Of rolling over the sur
face of the earth. 1t came along with fright
full velocity, and made noise louder than
the roaring of hundred thunder peals

The Salvation Army has just completed
the construction of a $4,000 temple in
Toronto, which is to be the headquarters
of the Army in British America. 1t is
of red brick, with stone foundations and
facings; it has frontage of 106 feet by
depth of 100 feet. There are three
front entrances, the center one being
through o fine arch. Above the ar>h the
main tower rises to the height of eighty
feet. The temple proper is on the first
floor, and is 9Ox1OO feet, with height
of thirty-fve feet to the ceiling. 1t is
arranged in amphitheatre form, the seats
rising in tiers, with one gallery. 1t will
seat $500 people. 1t is so we'll arranged
that there is not bad seat in tie tenn
pie. The plans were prepared by the
Army's architect in England. The por-

pie is devoted to the general offices, the
editorial and publication rooms of the
War Cry, the store-room: sleeping apart
ments, banqueting hall, etc., etc.
