from heart disease, at his place of

such a disease, but had been COM

not been but little more than that
time. He has been under treatment
of DR.. Orne elias, and was taking med
icine regularly, even when standing
his beat, on Main plaza and Com
merce street. This morning after
recorders court session, about ten
O'Clock, he complained of feeling I'M
we'll and asked the chief of police if
he could not be excused from duty.
He was excused and went home.
Feeling better, he was engaged in
playing with his sister, Mrs. Capt.
RaphaIl and other ladiessat the house
when the dread summons came and
he dropped dead. The news spread
wildly over the city and all friends
and relations of the dead man were
horror stricken at the suddenness of
the occurrence.
Deceased was aged about As years,
and had lived the greater portion of
his life in San Antonio, where he is
related to some of the oldest families,
as A. Rivas, E. A. Giraud, r. r.
Martinez, G. w. Angle, Capt. Raphall,
Marmion and others. Some years
ago he was city marshal of Laredo,
and had held other important offices.
The funeral will occur tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock, from the resi-
dence and from San Fernando ca
thedral.

A matter of general interest is the taking
Of the census of 1890, in which Pittsburg ex-
poets to make a remarkable showing of in
crease, not only in population, but of trade,
manufactures and resources. The city is,
therefore, particularly interested in the
matter of the appointment of men to the
various positions, especially governing the
work and gathering and collecting the
statistics so valuable to her and interesting
to all the world.
Pittsburg is included in the Ninth Census
District of Pennsylvania. which comprises
Allegheny, Washington and Greene cOun-
ties. Over this district, as in each, there
will be Supervisor, who should be a man
of large information concerning the diYersi-
fed local interests, man of ability, energy
and of executive talent.
As Superintendent Porter, under the
President, will undoubtedly look to the
Congressman Immediately interested to
name competent men for the various posi-
tions, it behooves Congressman Dalzeil to
seek frst-class material and he will be held
responsible for the work of persons appoint

The Cattle Company Man Explains n Stu.
atiOu In Wnynesburg.
To the Editor OF The Dispatch;
The Associated Press suburban telegram
from Waynesburg, that appeared in your is
sue of to-day, is calculated to leave the i'm
preston that the Dowlin g. Rush Cattle
Company is in bad financial condition. JUS
tice to that company requires an open state
ment of the facts. The company owes s., 900
to the Farmers and DroYers' National Bank
of Waynesburg, which is the sum total of
its indebtedness. 1t also has assets on hand
in cash to more than pay this amount.
A total of l liza calves were branded this
year, and 40 beeves marketed recently,
which would show about 5000 head, with
the other stock on hand. A herd of 65 colts
were also branded. The cattle are in fine
fix. The grass is good, hay plenty, and the
only drawback to the business is the current
low price of cattle, which Of necessity is but
temporary. A number of the men who have
lately failed at Waynesburg, have not now,
and never have had, any interest in the
cattle company alluded to. These are the
facts. JOHN r. RUSH, General Manager.

Traditions That Are Widely Believed Among

Scottish American.l
In the fishing villages of Forfarshire the
communities still cling to the traditions of
their ancestors. They abho1 swine, and flee
from pig as from devoufing lion; they
have also numerous other diversions, like
their brethren of Fifeshire. An old Forfar-
shire fisherman who occasionally laughs Gin
private) at the silly ideas Of his brethren
says he remembers well when one day q
boats crew returned from their work with
out having cast line in the water. As
they made for the harbor their faces, it
could easily be seen, were ashy pale with
fear, and they all looked as il they had seen
some dreadful apparition. "What has
happened?" was of course on the tongue of
every person who saw the scared crew come
back to the harbor. Look aud see; look at
that" was the reply. Will ID be credited
that that" was poor, exhausted pigeon,
which, having taken refuge in the boat,
had frightened four middle-aged men almost
out of their sensesI A similar tale is told
Of terrible fright which on one occasion
befell some fishermen of NewhaVen. Nine
of them had proceeded one daylto the boat
shore to change their boats, mother words,
to launch some larger vessels that during
the season had been in use.
Just as they reached the scene of their
work, they halted as one man each gazing
upon the other with face OF wonder and
CONSERVATION; then, turning hoheward, they
made off as rapidly as possible, having their
work undone, the cause of alltheir terror
being a crow. which had perchsd upon the
bow of the center vessel. The poor men
thought it was warning" These SUPER
stitions, which have prevailed for centuries,
are dying out-but slowly, very slowly
among the hereditary fishermen. 1t is still
the custom to notice the person whom they
first see In the morning, as anyone has-in
their opinion-a good or bad foot, and
brings, accordingly, good or bad luck to the
