Revenge of OHs, Diver Upon Another
With Whom He Quarreied.
One of the best divers [ ever met was
old Captain Compton, who was muir
dered at the bottom OF the sea, says a
writer in the PittsbulV dispatch"
We were working Rt the time on the
wreck of an East Indiaman, in the At
lantic side Of Cape Cod, the peninsula
of Massachusetts. Among our crew was
huge Haytian negro known as "Nig-
ger Jack, who had for some reason
taken violent dislike to Compton. He
never lost an opportunity Of picking a
quarrel. Time and again they had tried
TO settle the matter with fists, the negro
invariably getting the worst Of the con-
iltct. On the occasion l mention Comp
ton, Jack and another diver we're sent
down together.
After working u short time lhe negro
suddenly drew MS knife, and spriNqinp
at Compton. made a vicious plunge as
his right side, hoping to cut through tho
canvas coat and dispose OF him. The
old captain was too quick for him, how
ever. He caught the assasslns arm and
threw him off, at the same time drawing
his own weapon. Then began battle
for life beneath the waves. The captain
at him from behind tho negros helmet
and knew that the life OF one or the
other would soon pay the penalty Of the
feud.
Again and again the negro sprang at
Compton, only to find his blows parried |;
around they circled, jumping here and
there, and we above grew alarmed at the
strain on the air pipes and life lines,
until suddenly a rush Of water into
Compton's pump told US that his pipe
had parted. Quickly | sprang to the
hosting ropes. intending to raise him be-
fore the air in the helmet gave out, but, to
my horror, they were slack, showing
that they, too, had parted. At this in
slant came the ''quiCk hoist" signal on
the line Of the other white diver, and,
wild with fear, We graspcd the ropes and
soon had him in the boat. Quickly we
removed his helmet and piled him with
questions, For moment he could not
speak; then he gasped: Compton
dead; the niger killed him; he cut the
pipe and lines" and tainted. The
shock of the submarine murder had been
too great for even this strong man.
We tested the negros lines. They
we're still taut, and arming ourselves
with clubs we hoisted the murderer to
the boat-he offered no opposition as we
removed the suit and securely bound
him. instantly dressed and descended
after Compton's body. The water around
INN was tinged with blood and as bent
over MIN l noticed, with horror, that the
'front.' of his jacket had actually been cut
to pieces, no less than a dozen wounds
being afterward found upon his body.
the negro was tired and convicted, but
committed suicide by choking himself
with the sleeve OF his shirt.

MILFORD'S GREAT TIME.
THE OLD CONNECTICUT TOWN CELE-
BRATES ITS BIRTH.

Founded ESQ Years Ago-The Oldest In
habitable House in the Country
Within It's Boundary-Relics OF the
wen-Known Poet, Fitz-Greene Hal
leck-CommemoratIve Tower.
The quaint old Connecticut town OF
Milford is now in the midst of the cele-
bration of the 250th anniversary of its
founding, and each and every inhabitant
feels that an added Importance now al
taches to the quiet little place; but the
Milford of to-day, in spite Of one or two
thriving industries, is as peaceful, as
primitive, as contented q community as
1t has been any time within the memory
of living men-or of women either for that
matter. The basis of its modest thrift Isl
husbandry of the rich bottom lands on
which Rev. Henry Whitfield and his
ship company pitched their tents 250
years ago, and husbandry Of those har-
yes that the diurnal seasons Of the sea
brings to their shores.
According to the records, Capt.
Thomas Tibbals discovered the present
site of Milford, the river Wopowage, the
narrow gorge and its cascade, during the
Pequot war, the Indians retreating to
the Fairfield swamps in 1898. A party
of settlers started from New Haven dur
ing the following summer under Tibbals'
guidance, and founded the town Of Mil
ford, August rs, 1889. The bridge and
tower that have been erected to com
memorate this event are of undresseC
granite. The bridge spans the swirllnG
rapids at the gorge in a single arch. The
stones are keyed together, SO that there
is not straight line in any part of the
solid masonry. The round tower is
joined to the parapet of the bridge a.
The western end and taper5 toward the
top, its conical roof being composed Of
