DIR. DUNCAN's BELIEF.
THE LAST TRAIN INTO THE CITY.

Capt. Wheaton did not think that there
was any danger, and he moved that the
train be brought in. DIR. BTunner protested
against it as an unsafe measure. The
mayor, however, decided, under the cir
ouinstances, that it was advisable to allow
it, and he issued orders TO Chief of
Police Green to permit the train to be
brought into the sation, but that no Jack
sonville passengers be allowed to leave the
cars. The train, after having been held an
hour and a half at the junction, was
brought in. The baggage was transferred
to "a locked car, and will be held for fumiga-
tion. There was upward of a hundred
through passengers on the train bound
north and west.

The police hao considerable difficulty In
holding the train at the junction. Lieut.
Lee, in charge of the six men, met the train
and waved " down. AS soon as it came to
a stop the Ulen mounted the engine and iu-
formed the engineer that he would
be allowed TO run the train no
further. He protested, but Lieut.. Lee, or
dered him under arrest, and would not allow
him to get on his engine. Conductor Min

told the police that he intended to bring II

him under arrest.
DEFYING THE POLICE.
Supt Fleming was telephoned, and, after
ordering the co Iductor to bring the train
in, he boarded the Albany express, and
went out 10 the junction. Upon reaching
there he gave orders for the train TO be
brought in, and after finding that the en-
gineer was under arrest and not allowed to
get on his engine, the superintendent started
to get on himself, when Lieut.. Lee tapped
him on the shoulder. and told him that

been laid in the park surrounding the
imperial palace at Mequincz, and was
lately opened with some pomp. The
railway has been purposely laid with
several sharp curves and steep gradi-
ents, by the way of showing the Moors
the wonderful things that steam can
do. The saloon-carriage, OF which, IN
addition to engine, tender aud guard
van. tho rollingstock consists, is elab-
orately decorated and upholstered in
a style which, although somewhat
bizarre to the European eye, was
thought to be suitable to the taste Of
Moorish Sultan, Muley Hassan did
not dare TO trust himself in the strange
conveyance On the opening day. but
made some of his male relations and
ministers take several trips and recount
to him their experiences, which seem

HOW TO RAISE STOCK.
Rules That VIII Work with All Kinds q
Cattle and Horses.

Cattle and Horses.
There is great difference in the
kinds and manner of keeping stock to
make stock farming profitable. One
farmer tells you there is no profit in
raising horses, aud it is better to buy
your horses than to raise them. II you
will look at his horse stock you will
find he is about right, for he has no
mare that he or any other man can
name the blood of, and he breeds her
to a horse OF the same kind to save a
few dollars in the start. When the
colt comes il runs its chance for living.

is all heated up with work. After a
time the colt is thought old enough to
wean and is taken away from the mare
at once, but has not learned to cat and
will take no nourishment urtil starved
to it. OF course it will become poor
and is not much of colt when spring
comes; will take all summer to get in
reasonable condition, and runs the
gauntlet another winter between grown
horses and cattle. If it escapes acct
dent or death from horns, when -four
years old aud about the size of fair
three-year- old, all hands are called in
to break the colt. II he don't break

he is afraid of every one and every

finally is poor horse, not reliable any
where, and of course an Improbable
horse to raise. Such farmers are not
| the ones to make horsc-raising profit.

horses, and seldom get such as they
want.
Another farmer will tell you he car
make more money raising horses thai
any other stock. This is the way h,
does it. He can tell you the blood o
every animal he has on the farm. Hi

PRESERVING LIVE FISH.
Discovery OF Great Use to shippers and

A Discovery OF Great Use to Shippers and
Sportsmen.
A new method of preserving live fish,
which seems to depend upon some phe-
nomenon that it is at present difficult
to explain, has been patented in Ameri-
en-. The discoverer is Mr.. w. G. MUIR
,hy, of New York City. who found, from
numerous experiments, that fish can be
kept alive for a long time without either
change of air or water, by placing them
in vessel partly filed with water, but
Theoretically sealed. Fish so placed in
a closed jar were found alive and APP
parently in good health at the end Of
three weeks confinement; while fish
placed at the same time i'll an open jar
IF water all died within forty-eight
hours. 1t was also found that when
the air in the jar containing the fish
end water was compressed, their life
was still further prolonged. 1t has
been suggested that the reason for
.hese strange results lies in the fact
hat the water in the jar which is her.
metically sealed does not undergo such
rapid changes as water left in an open
vessel. But the discovery is one which
will be of very great use in the carriage
and transportation of fish. Sportsmen,

will permit them to carry live bait for
an indefinite period. Chambers Jour
