TWO FIGHTING LOCOMOTIVES.

Memphis people the other day
witnessed an unheard-of struggle be-
tween two freight trains for the
right of way. There stood the two
engines on the same track, grinly
facing each other. Both engineers
were angry and neither would back
down. The situation was exciting.
At this juncture the engineer of one
engine pulled his lever and attempted
to force the other train back. but the
effort was unsuccessful. Then the
engineers argued the matter, and one
suggested that they were keeping
the crossing blocked, to which the
other replied that lie didn't care if it
was kept blocked an hour. Then the
first engineer made another attempt
to run the opposing train back, and
again failed, whereupon he backed
his engine few feet and attacked
the enemy with flying start, but in
vain. 1t was battle of giants, in
which both were equally powerful.
The first engineer then signaled an
other engineer, who was Ill his engine
in the yard south of the crossing, for
assistance. He responded and ran
his engine up in the rear of the north
bound train. Then they started
their engines together, and by their
combined strength the south-bound
train was pushed back and the cross
inc was cleared

EELS ON An ANNUAL JAU UNIT.

The annual migration of cells from
Fresh Pond to the Sound, according
to a dispatch from StratfOrd, Conn,
took place Wednesday night October
16, beginning at precisely II O'Clock
and lasting for more than two hours.
Fresh Pond seems to be a favorite
breeding place for salt water cells,
but as it freezes over in winter they
do not like the temperature, and al
WAYS return to the Sound, when they
can run up the river and bury them
selves III the deep mud. The water
of Fresh Pond is not fresh as its
name would Indicate, but a little
brakish, showing that there is an I'M
derground connection with the sea.
Eels will not go through this pas
sage, but prefer to go overland in
the strange way of their ancestors.
The distance Travelled by the wrig-
Cling fishes i'll going from Pond to
Sound is less than One-sixteenth of a
mile, and the journey is made through
fiat land, which is thickly grown
over with sedge and rushes. The cells
always start at high tide, and thus
save q considerable distance. There
is always a leader, who is followed
by pIatoons in as regular order rs
the companies of regiment. There
is order and discipline manifested and
the sight is one well worth watching
many nights to witness. 1t is known
that all the cells of the fresh-water
variety remain in the pond during
the winter, as fishermen make good
living spearing them through the ice
at midwinter.
Eels will live 10 or - hours after
being taken from the water, and even
then are so lively that it is difficult
to skin them. In summer time the
creeks along the Housatonic river
swarm with cells. and shoremen who
do no other work than to fish and
hunt, catch large quantities for the
use of shore resorts where fish din
ners are served These fishermen Of
ten go out at night with lanterns,
and wait for the eels to come out
and feed in the thick grass and sedge.
