The Portland OregoniaH tells of q
peculiar sight witnessed the other day
by passengers on the ferry from Van
couver. A seal was in pursuit of a
salmon. The fish darted hither and
thither, and frequently leaped out of
the water. The passengers became
very much excited in watching the race.
Finally the fish darted up 10 the boat
and Jumped on board. A member of
the boats crew sold it to a farmer, tG
the great Indignation Of the passengers,
who wanted it taken to a safe distance
and restored to the water.
There is one old-time habit, says
an exchange, that used to be widely
prevalent in the United States, especi-
ally in the West and South-the tobacco
chewing habit-that has certainly de-
clined in the present generation. The
manufacturers of chewing tobacco say
that the trade in it has not grown with
the growth of our population, but that
in many States it is less than half as
large as it used to be before the war.
In the New England States it has be-
come of very slight acconnt. The
States in which it now has tie greatest
hold are Kentucky, Missouri, Tennes-
see, and Arkansas. 1t is an unwhole-
some habit, offensive to decent people,
and ought TO disappear,

a Gotham Fairy Tale.

"You see, said Broadway car con-
ductor. as he registered two fares on
the indicator in response to three just
received, ''it isn't as easy for us con-
ductors to cheat the company as the
public seem to think. We are re-
quired," he continued, ''as he collected
five fares and rang up three in buoy
ant manner, ito obtain five cents from
every passenger, and then TO register
each fare on the indicator. OF course"
he observed, meanwhile ringing up
one in exchange for two fares taken in,
''each passenger sees me ring the indi-
Gator for his or her fare, and it is i'm
possible not to do so without being
found out. Why" he added, jerking
the rope so gently that the indicator
didn't ring for the two fares he had
then pocketed, ''if did not register
every fare receive / should deem 1t
proper for any one to have me arrested
for dishonesty. So had him arrested.

My boy, do you recollect the home
made shirt that your dear old mother
made for you long ago with her own
hands? Do you recollect the handful
of shirt-bosom that you could pick up
and duck your chin into, where the

down and grumble about Fate, because
the worlds affairs don't fit you as If
they were made to measure. If you

,TE7TIMONY ALL IN.
The Jury Will Render Verdict the
 Mud Rum Disaster Friday.

WAUGH CHUNK, Pa, Oct. 18-Additiopal testimony was taken by the coroners jury in the Mud Run catastrophe at this city. AL bert Culvert, of Mud Run, was the first witness to testify. He was at Mud Run sta tion when the crash occurred; saw red lights on the platform of the rear car of section No. i; the fagman waved a red lantern to the approaching train, which was running at the rate of twenty miles an hour.
 A. Mitchell, superintendent of the Wyoming division of the Lehigh Valley road, was re- called, and stated that fireman is required to work at his post for three or four years before he is given charge of an engine, and then is not allowed to run passenger trains unless he is familiar with the road. A pilot is sent along in this case He regarded the men in charge of these excursion trains as capable, they having had many years experi- ence at railroading. It might have been an additional precaution to have had larger red light at the station on that night. We suspend or discharge any employe who diso- beys orders, even if it does not result ill doing any damage. Had we used the induction telegraph system on these trains the accident might have been prevented.
 The taking of testimony closed with the statements made by Luke Kenmore, of Wilkesbarre, an engineer of many years ex- perience. He said: II always expect to find signals at Mud Run depot which can be seen from an engine at distance of one-fifth of a mile. The regular passenger trains run at a rate of thirty miles an hour at this point, but trains can be stopped before reaching the station if signals are displayed If running a second engine or special train am always on the lookout for signals, although the first engine obstructs the view somewhat. If the first engineer whistles down brakes it is my duty to put down brakes without seeing danger

The rebellious spirit, which bade fair to precipitate renewal of hostili- ties, seems to have been subdued, and in- stead of talking strike, finds relief in roundly denouncing Yerkes, and the softness of the committee in allowing him to pull the wool over it's eyes, The cars run by the new men are still under police protection.

He Was Shot at the Door of a Tent by
 Native Disturber.
 BRUSSELS, Oct. 1S.-An official account of the death of Maj. Barttelot has been re ceived, which gives the following particulars Barttelot had become excessively annoyed at the din caused by the Manyemas attached to the expedition in the capacity of porters etc., practicing singing and drumming at early hours in the morning and late hours i'll the evening. On the morning of July l9, in spite of the attempts of Capt. Bonny to dis suade him, he proceeded alone to tent whence came the sounds of drumming Shortly afterward a shot was heard, and Barttelot's body was found in front of the tent with bullet hole in his breast and his clothing near the wound burned with gun powder. Professor Jamieson. hearing of the shooting next day, returned to Barttelot's camp, but found that the natives had de- parted, taking with them the stores. Jamie son then retraced his route to Stanley Falls, leaving Bonny at Aruwim Tippoo Tib, the report says, was intensely grieved at the death of Barttelot. He had often, he said, warned Barttelot against his excessive harsh ness to the natives under him, and predicted dire results of his persistent overbearing and even brutal practices. Another relief ex- petition, the dispatches say is regarded as almost impossible.
