April Fool in the Incubator.

A Lewiston, Maine. man, who con-
 pines farming with watch making, is now practising with an incubator, and has Q
 big lot of fancy stock now in process of incubation. He brides himself on his incubator. He believes it to be one of the surest and speediest on the conti- nent. He has lots of new fangled mo- tions about it's makeup, and last Sun day morning, when he arose and looked from his chamber window, he said to himself, "In one more week that incuba- tor will be just alive with chickens. {" Along about II o'clock he went out to the chicken house and looked at the incu- bator. What was that! Merciful dis pensation of tho creation of all things! Dash his eyes If there, over in the cor ner, big as life, was not a yellow, fluffy ball, with a bit of egg on his back, and stepping gaily out of his shell. He couldn't believe it.
 Talk about incubators Talk about beating all creation! Here it was done for full week quicker than the best on record-a regular Maud s. incubator, warranted to out-incubate all others, as the queen of the turf out-trots all others. He did not finger long. He called his wife and his daughter and the other children. ''Hi there! Come out here!" shouted he. They came out obedientiy and stood around. He pointed at the miracle. They marvelled obediently at it until one of the girls suggested that possibly the chicken ought to be able to walk. He opened the incubator and prodded it with stick. It fell over and its legs stuck up in the air, and then the merriest laugh he ever heard broke the silence, and he knew it was April Fools day. The chicken was good made of yellow down.

HOT HIS ASSAILANTS,
A Tragedy Growing Out of the Rail-
 road Strike.

GAIEsBuRG. ILL, April 29.-The most serious trouble that has grown out of the present rail- road strike occurred late last evening" w. A. Hedberg, one of tie non-union Burlington men, had been down town to purchase some groceries, and was on his way home when he saw two men following him. They soon caught up with him and struck him. Hedberg drew his revolver and fired two shots one of which struck one of his assailants, Herb Newell 8 striking engineer, in the left side killing him instantly. The other shot struck engineer George T. Cable over the right temple, passing around and out of the back of his head. The wound may result fatally. After the shooting Hedberg gave himself up, and is confined ill guard has been placed around the jail.
 At the inquest tomorrow it will be sworn that while in Q pool room short time before the shooting, Hedberg made threat that he whether striker or not. It alleged that New ell and Cable were on their way to the house of Alderman Erickson who is an uncle of Hed- berg's and one of the striking engineers, to ask him to come to caucus. and that they did not follow Hedberg. Newell, the man who was killed outright was one of the oldest engineers on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail- road.
 Hedberg is g years of age, and is related to number of the leading Welsh families of Galesburg. He says that as he was on the way home he noticsd Newell and Cable coming to- ward him. As they passed Newell caught him around the body with one arm and around the neck with the other, twisting his head to one side, while Cable struck him on the right tem- pie. His left arm was bound fast but lis right was free, and with it he drew his revolver and fired twice. The first ball entered Newelps side, ranged up through the heart, and came out on the right side of the neck. Newell re- leased his hold and fell dead into the gutter. The next shot struck Cable in the middle of the forehead, the ball passing around close to the skull and coming out behind the right ear The shooting occurred under an electric light, but there was only one eyewitness, the wife of one of the new engineers who partly corrobor- atcs Hedberg's story.

AMERICAN ANTIQUITIES.
Interesting Discoveries of Ancient
 Dwellings.

Surveyors who are examining the route pro- posed for railroad from Deming, in New Mex'co, to Janos, in Chihuahua, and from there to some point on the Pacific coast, have advanced as far as the old Spanish presidio of Janos, which is in the midst of the wild Sierra Madre Of Mexico, one of the least known dis trlcts of North America but evidently the seat of an ancient civilization, of which no autlen- tic record has come down to the present day. In canon which was passed through by the surveying party succession of dwellings, were encountered stretching along for miles. The houses are built in terrace form, one above the other. with solid masonry, unlike the crude and pigmy-like cliff dwellings of Arizona and New Mexico. These dwellings, had more the appearance of regular streets, being built above each other in the shelving decivilty of the canon, and being difficult of access, as if it had been done for purposes of defence against powerful enem es Most of the buildings have their front walls constructed of hewn stonn, carefully cemented, while the rear portions are built into the sides of the canon All of these ruins are in remarkable state of pre- servation, so much so that they deserve mora the name of abandoned dwellings than of runs. On an open plain near the ruins are the remains of an aqueduct and terraced rescr- volr. party from Fl Paso will start for the scene,

They Have Got You, Too.

A Circus man tells this new story
 "Let me tell you little incident that happened on Friday. That morning Lake, MT. Norton, and myself got per- mits from Gen. Thoms to go out to the battlefield and view the battle. We were non -combatants, you understand, and, you may rely upon it, we kept out of gunshot range for the first half hour. But, all at once, an aid came riding up to our stand. Here, you three,' he said, get shovels, and report at the front for duty
 "We showed him our permits, but it was no go; all permits had been revoked within the hour, he said, and so we were hustled off to the front to help throw up slight fortifcation. We were all experienced in that sort of work, having worked at throwing up the circus ring many time; but never before had we handled shovel under fire. The bullets were flying around us pretty thickly, and Tn five minutes every regular in our vicinity knew who we were and the circumstances under which we had been pressed into service. They guyed us unmercifully. I was not exactly scared, but did not feel first rate, and had to put on little extra swagger to hide my nervousness. So when rebel prisoner came near me, being led to the rear by 8 couple of Union boys, I gave him shot with my tongue.
 " Well, Johnny,' said, they have got you
 "He turned around and took look at me, and then drawled out, as cool as a cucumber, Yes, by thunder, and they've got you, too
 'That brought down the house. The joke took so well there on the battlefield, that after we were released, about an hour later, determined to use it at the show that night. It was a big success. After detailing the incidents leading up to the climax, drawled out as we'll as 1 could in the Southern manner, Yes, by thunder, and they've got you, tool
 Just at that moment shell burst in the vicinity of the show, with roar and a crash which seemed all the more solemn because of our surroundings. For moment there was silence like death all through the tent, and then the applause in token that my joke was appreciated. Any witticism containing local color Is bound to be go. Imagine how much local color there was in that one, while the prison CTS were being marched through the city and the cannons were still booming.
 ''That was stirring winter. Iwonder if the boys of the Army of the Cumber- land and the Army of the Tennessee John Lowlow as we'll as he them."

THE PRESIDENT INTERPRETERS
Stopping the Illegal Importation of
 Labor from Canada.

President Cleveland has interfered in the matter of the wholesale violation of the law forbiddins the importation of foreign labor under contract in New England. He recently wrote District Attorney Calvin, saying:
 Information has reached the Treasurer De partment that large number of foreigners have been brought into the State of Massachu- setts under violation of tIe Contract Labor law for the purpose of manning American fish, ing vessels sent out from the ports of Glouces- ter, Boston, and Beverly for the purpose of taking fish along the Canadian coast. It seems to me quite certain that such foreigners have been brought in by parties in direct violation Of the statute covering such cases, and be- leve that the importation of such foreigners tends to the destruction of American labor. I am aware that many of these persons have through the care of the officials, been returned to the country from which they came. therefore enjoin on you the duty of prompt investigation of these cases, and request that you confer with the Collectors of the Ports of Boston and Gloucester, that prompt and eff fectlye measures may be taken"
 The fact has been known for some time past that 5O per cent. of sailors of fishing vessels that sail from Boston and Gloucester belong to the provinces. They come up to the States, hire themselves out to the owners of these fish ing vessels for so much month, and when the season IS over return to the provinces and spend tho money they earned here. Last week eighteen attachments were filed here for S2, ,OOO each, all in suits brought for the illegal inn portatlon Of labor under contract.

PENSION BILLS VETOED. In One Case Similar Bill had
 Already Been Passed.

The President has vetoed the House bill granting pension to Hannah c. Dewitt. on the ground that he had already approv, d an act, the precise duplicate of it, which was passed by Congress earlier in the session, and because, in consequence thereof the name of the beneficiary is already on the pension rolls.
 He also vetoed the House bill granting a pension to Moses T. Mantor, on tue ground that hls clam for pension was wholly With out merit. and had been properly rejected bv the Pension Bureau. The President says in this case:
 "The reported conduct of the claimant on the last examination, and his attempts to in fuence witnesses in their testimony, ad Is weight to the proposition, quite we'll cstab- lished by the proof, that his claim to pension lacks merit''
 The President a'so returned without his ap- proval the House bill granting pension to Vim. H. Brockenshaw. He reviews the record in this case, and says:
 ''It will thus be seen that he was in.the serv- ice few days more than three months just at the close of the war. It is not alleged that he did any actual fighting. In 1868 he filed an application for pension, all ging that on the evening of March B. 1865, being the day he was received at rendezvous, he was injured in his ribs while getting into his bunk by three other recruits who were scufling il the room, and who jumped upon him or crushed him against the side of the bunk. An examination upon such application. made in 1884, tended to show an injury to his ribs, but the claim was cured in the line of duty. It must be con ceded that, upon the claimants own showing. he was not injured as an incident to military service. 1 am satisfied that no injustice will be done if the disposition made of this case by the Pension Bureau is allowed to stand"

THE YAQUI DEFEATED,
Severe Battle Between Hd stile In
 dians and Mexican Troops.

The Yaqui Indians in Sonora, Mexico, have
 been attacked and defeated in a mountain near the Yaqui River, where they were making heroic stand against the Federal forces. 4 few days ago Lieut.. Vallareal and Major En- clso, with two columns of Federal soldiers, attacked the Indians in their position on Ramalaquaca Mountains, in front of the place called Agua Verda. The Indians had thrown up Notifications at the apex of the mountain, and made a brave stand. After number of determined charges the troops captured the works, killing seventeen, as far as was ascertained. and wounding large number. The attacking forces lost one man and had & number wound- ed.
 It has all along been expected by the Gov ernment that the approach of warm weather would cause cessation of hostilities on the part of the Yaquis, but they seem now more determined upon vigorous warfare than ever The military officials, who have been fighting them for several months, believe that the In- dlans are being aided in the way of provisions and ammunition by the Mexicans, many of whom are more favorably inclined toward the Yaquis than the Government.

THF NICARAGUA CANAL.
united States Naval Vessels Prepare
 to Survey Greytown Harbor.

The United States flagship Richmond, flying she flag of Admiral Luce, and the United States man-of-of war steamer Ossipee, Com mander Hof commanding. arrived at Grey- town on the 22d of last month direct from Colon. The ships were sent to make the nec- essary soundings and studies off shore for the establishment of jetties and the harbor i'm proVements on the line of the Nicaragua Canal This IS the first visit of men of war of the United States Navy since 1878.
 MT. Williams, an englneer in the employ of the same company, has made extensive inves- 1gations of the bars and entrance to the har- bor, studies preparatory to the entrance of the tredSes. Reports have obtained currency at Colon and Panama that illness ob.tructs work among the American engineers. Such is not the case. Mir. Williams said to a corres- pondent that the death of Mir. Cartayo was brought on, not by fever contracted in Nicara. qua, but by malarial poisonin.; received while employed as an engineer on the line of the Panama Canal. He added: 'I have seen en- gineers and their assistants from several of the Nicaraguan Canal camps during my stay here and all are in perfect health. These engineers, after residence of four months in this climate are not enervated, but show the activity char acteristic of American engineers in the northern elime, in marked contrast with the native man. ner." -
 Dr. Pert, who was shot by MT. Cartayo while the latter was delirious from fever has had the bullet removed from his chest, and has convalesced sufficiently to return to his duty

A WOMAN'S BEST CHOICE.
If She Wants to Marry, Let Her
 Find Man Who is Her Equal.

The advice of Dr.. Holland for young
 men to select wife from the female so-
 c1ety above them would be more valu-
 able if the learned doctor had defined in
 Just what the wife was to be the supe-
 rior. That he had a clear idea in his
 head seems manifest But does he
 mean superior in social position? Does
 he mean that the ooachman shall always
 aspire to the brilliant and accomplished
 daughter of his employer for a wife2
 Does he mean that tile gardener's son should always aim to win the countess
 on the ground that love makes all things event Does he mean that the judge shall always pass by Maud Muller for a lady of high degree-that the aim of the noble lord in the selection of wife shall be the daughter of king-that the young mechanic should seek for his bride in the home of the coal kings and iron barons and blue-blooded first fam illes' If this is his meaning, his advice IS worthless, for in common everyday lie such marriages, in niue cases out of ten, prove to be the most unhappy, and generally end in divorce. A man of bra1ns has better chance for peace and comfort in marriage with woman who IS goodnatured dunce than q woman of intellect could hope for in aunion with an ignorant clod or thick headed boor. The reason Is obvious. The man has the world of business and society open to hlm for the pursuit of happiness. He need use his home only as a place to sleep and eat, while the wife welded to boor has a lifelong sorrow, Q dead weight of woe, and 0 penitentiary for home. But the gifted women who have married inferior men and have had any sort of fair chance for happiness we fail to remember, while Mrs. Hemans. Miss Landon, Mrs. Norton, Fannie Kemble and others stand out as awful warnings. Dr. Hollands line of advice. if carefully followed by men, might give comparative happiness to them. Mar rylng above themselves in wealth, social position, intellect and piety might per- chance not be so bad as the world goes, but what of the women who thus come down to wed men of low estate in each or all of these things? In former days such stuff might have been accepted as sense and wisdom, but nowadays no such ignorance of women will be count ed as gospel. A marriage to be really happy must be union of true friends aud real lovers, who have fair endow- ment of reason and common sense be- tween them. Two fools with but a single thought will be happier in mar riage than an angel married to Tom my Noddy, no matter what Dr. Holland says. All the talk abont s'angelic su- periority" may be set down as cant or what the English call ''rot. "-Pittsbug

THE BALL-PLAYERS. Notes Regarding the Professionals Who Will Compete for Records.
HE RECORD. APRIL 20.

Rain and cold weather made sad havoc with the attendance at the initial games of the base ball season.
 Ferguson is still laid ups
 Van Haltren's success in the East is not sur prlslng in the least to California people. Il was expected by them that he would be away up in the first holes of the League pitchers this season, and his preliminary work in exhibition games looks very binding.
 Boston's lnfield is reported to be weak, and yet they will let Burdock go. He expects his releLe from Boston any day.
 Caruthers pitched in Brooklyn's first de- feat.
 The salary list of the only club that ever played season without sustaining defeat was S9, 100, that being the sum paid the Gin cinnati Red Stockings in 1S69-ten in number. Geo. Wright got S1, 800 of this; Harry Wright, Sl, 800; Brainard, pitcher, Gould and Water man, first and third basemen, $500 each; Sweasy, second baseman, Allison, catcher, Leorard and Mcyey, fielders, $70O each; Hur- ley, substitute, S6OO.-Indianapolis Ne,cs.
 Buck Ewing doesn't play behind the bat often enough.
 The Philadelphia Club is in bad shape. De- troit is opening badly, too.
 jn spite of the $2O 900 paid his boss, Al Spalding, by the Boston trinity, Anson is un. grateful enough to say that the Bostons will be lucky if they. get fifth place in the League and Clarkson, he is of the opinion that they are fifth rate team.
 How about that rumor of recent date that Welch's arm had lost it's cunning?
 Otterson, who played with Brooklyn a while last season, is with Wheeling this year.
 o. P. Caylor has bought the Jdspe,. County Democrat, printed in Carthage, Mo. One of the first of his local squibs is "Why don't the young men of Carthage start & base ball club?"
 Big Bill Brown, the California catcher of the New York Club, has signed contract. He IS looking well, and he thinks that he can do better work than he did last season.
 Dunlap, of pftsburg wears S1 200 worth of diamonds, owns two or three houses in Phila- delphia and has S5, GOO cash in tho bank.
 Latham is said to be funnicr than ever this season.
 Paul Radford is proving to be one of the best batters in the Brooklyn team.
 Pittsburg's offer of S2, GOO for Pitcher Cru ber's release will be accepted by Detroit.
 President Von der Ahe of St. Louis wants to admit small boys to the games for 25 cents, al- lowing the visiting team l5 cents for every one that passes in. He telegraphed President Wickoff about the matter. and the latter gen tleman replied that all admissions were 50 cents, boys and men the same price, and tha, children in arms should be admitted free. The Athletic club has already announced half rate for boys under 15 years of aga, without asking the consent of its fellow clubs, claiming 3 constitutional right to dc so. In view If President Wickoff's decision, quoted above, the club is likely to get into a controversy about the matter. Brooklyn has alsp made a half rate for boys under 12 years.
