Who ever heard Of men on horse
back capturing and killing whales ?
And how in the world could ii be
done2 Mr. Holder tells all about it in
his delightful book recently published.
Several years ago . student who was
interested in whales went to Cape
Cod to spend the summer. because be
knew that the animals were often
caught there. Here Is his description
OF . very strange and exciting scene
The tide was dead low and had left
= big, sandy Hat almost bare, on
which the sea beat furicusly and with
roar that WAS deafening, but inside
the bar was . stretch Of water formin q
little enclosed lake about half q mile
wide and from three to tour feet deep.
This WIS comparatively smooth, and
in II were about twenty enormous
black objects fonndering and rushing
abo II. laShing the water into foam,
and followed BY dozen or more men,
part Of whom were on horseback like
ourselves.
II was . school Of whale and black
fish. In some way they had been
trapped inside OF the bar, and when
the tide went out they were at the
mercy Of the whalers on horseback.
Every one was greatly excited. The
while their riders, armed with har~
poems. fances, boat-hooks or any
other weapon that happened TO be ut
hand. were endeayoring to capture as
many Of the monsters az possible.
In We plunged. the horses at first
snoring with terror, but once In the
water they seemed 10 share the gem

and there we're bia6kfish that had
been badly wounded ard their tails
were beating the water with terrific
force. Others were tearing up and
down with lightning speed. Soon one
Of the horses was fairly lifted from its
feet by one Of the struggling fish and
thrown sprawlsng into the water. A
roar Of laughter greeted the rider -
he rose frsm the water.
The men kept up an incessant yell
ing and splashine. and so gradually
forced the monster ap the creek, il so
1t could be called. The great creatures
seemed to know that they we're rum
ming into . still more fatal trap. and
they made great efforts 70 break

CRUSHED TO DEATH.

A Miner in the Clark's Fraction Mine
Meets with a Terrible Fate.
BUTTE, June 14.-[Speeisl 70 the Inde-
pendent. Am accident occurred this after
noon at 2:30 O'Clock which cost Anton Mel
lin his life. Mellin was a car man and
worked on the 5OO-leyel Of the Clark's Frac-
tiOn at WAlkervilIe. He had just loaded a
lot of ore on the cage, and signaled the
engineer TO hoist. The cage started up and
what next happened will never be known,
as Mellin was entirely alone. The engin-
eer states that the cage had come about
fifteen feet when he was signaled TO lower.
Thinking an accident had happened, he sent
the cage back in q hurry. Mellin had
stepped under it, probably to shovel away
some loose rock, ana be was caught aud
crushed TO death. There were about ], 800
pounds on the cage. and il is likely the un-
fortunate man never realized Whist struck
him. No signal coming from below, the
engineer ordered an Investigation. and
Mellin was found and brought TO the sur
face. lie was dead when picked up. The
coroners jury, which was summoned at
once, exonorated the company from all
blame. Mellin was native of Switzer-
land. IS years Of age and unmarried. He
has no relatives in this country.

Nashville (Tenn.) special: Rev. l.. z.
Brock. pastor of the Seventh and Mill
Greek Baptist churches. recently surprised
his congregations by resigning the pastor
ate without giving any reason for bis &C
ton. Ii was publicly announced at a re-
ligious debate this week that this step was
taken by Mr. Brock because he lad become
convinced that the Christian OF Campbellite
faith was the true one. and il was his in
tentiOn 70 connect himself with that de-
nomination. Mr.. Brock, after this an
nouncement, attended the debate, and
then, going back TO his congregation, con-
fessed TO them that be was wrong; that the
Baptist way was right and he desired the
prayers OF his people and their forgiveness.
The minister's explanation was sufficient
and he was forgiven Thursday night al
the Seventh Baptist church he was recalled
as pastor. The same action was taken by
the Mill Greek church yesterday. Both
calls were by unanimous vote OF the con
greRatlOuS.

PRINTERS AT DENVER.

But Little Business Transacted Yesterday
To Adjourn To-day.
DENVER, June l4-But little business OF
any great Importance was transacted al
the typographical convention to-day.
Among the recommendations of the finance
committee was one TO the effect that the
members of local unions dying on the road
while holding certificates from the Inter
national Typographical union shall be
buried at the expense of the union, showed
up brisk fight. Some members advocated
further delay for the sake of improving
upon the provisions for the burial Of de-
ceased travelling printers. The tramp
printers, at whom the provision was
aimed, found an eloquent champion and
hard fighter in NJ. &. Phillips, of Jackson
Mich. He contended that vast numbers of
tramp printers are lying in unknown graves
and will continue 10 die uncared for, in
case of further delay. The recommends
tion was lost. a motion was then carried
that the subject be referred to the commit
tee on laws, with orders to report at the
next session. This was fought through the
stages of a vivi voce and hand votes up to
an aye and nay vote, and finally carried
81 20 4l. At this point the union went into
executive session. The committee on laws
non cOncurred in Nj. G. Phillips resolution
to make any member of subordinate unions
as eligible for Office as for delegate. Mr..
Kalls offered a substitute that no one ex-
cept delegate or an ex-deIegate shall be
eligible to elective Offices in the union;
adopted-66 to yS.
There is to be an effort made to recon-
slider the vote by which the presidents
ruling, that there was no vacancy in Off
ces. obtained on Wednesday. Then another
attempt will be made to overturn the work
of the Kansas City convention in electing
officers for two years Ii that is successful
several candidates for the offices will
spring up, as If by magic. where now not
one can be found. Only the greatest
esteem for the present officers and expires
sIOns of a disposition to keep them in Office
can be heard; but il once the bars are
down the delegates will have several nOmi-
nations to consider. A session is being
held tonight, but up TO a late hour nothing
important has been transacted. The con-
ventiOn will adjourn tomorrow.

Charges That Roads Discriminate Against

WASHINGTON, June l4-To-dsy had
been set apart by the Interstate commerce
commission for the hearing of the case of
a number of Texas ice companies versus
the Missouri Pacific, Texas Pacific, Gulf,
Colorado Il Santa Fe and Fort Worth *
Denver City railroad companies. The pc
titioners are engaged in the manufacture
and sale of ice in various cities in Texas,
and charge the respondents are unjustly
discriminating against the petitioners in
freight rates from points in Missouri and
Colorado to points in Texas. They say the
rate on ice is out of all proportion to the
rate ON other classes of freight, end
that il the roads be permitted 10 con inue

the case came up for a hearing to-day no
counsel appeared for the complainants, and
on presentation of John 5. Blair, who ap-
peared for one OF the respondents, that
there was no merit in the case as IL now
stood; that the respondents could make no
through rates TO the points named, and that
the real parties TO the cOntro Sersy, who
would be the proper respondents in the
case, were not made a party 10 the com
plant, the commission decided to postpone
the hearing sixty days and will give an
opportunity TO the eOmplsinants 70 make
other roads party to the complaint.
