The flne in the cases Of Alva Wilkin
and willard Roush, which amounted to
5000 to each Of the men, need not be
considered 90 heavy a fine when the
case or rather the cases are understood.
Last Saturday a week ago the above
named parties were in Hillsboro and
had imbibed too much booze. The
natural result followed. They started
for their home in Fairview in the same
vehicle, and neither age nor sex receiv.
ed any respect from the drunken men.
Mrs. Philip Kramer, accompanied by
her two little girls, had started out the
Cincinnati pike the same afternoon,
driving spirited animal. She over
took the above named roughs-for
roughs they proved to be-on the said
afternoon on the Scott hill. They
(Wilkin and Roush) drew to one side, ap.
parently in good faith, to let Mrs.
Kramer pass, but just as her horse and
buggy came opposite with the buck.
board in which this drunken pair were
seated, they yelled like Indians, slap.
ping their horse with the lines, which
acts frightened the horse that Mrs.
Kramer was driving, and in its fright
tried to run away. Mrs. Kramer sue.
ceeded in controlling the animal the
first time, but when the same tactics
were gone over again opposite the Jersey
Creamery building, she failed to bring
the horse under control, and only the
fact of road wagon with hay ladders on
it obstructing the road at the crossing OF
the turnpike and railroad, prevented
what might have been very serious
runaway. The rowdyism and black.
guardism did not end. When these
hoodloms reached the point opposite
the Burch Miller farm they placed theiI
horse and blackboard squarely across the
road. They had in the mean time
driven ahead of Mrs. Kramer again, ant
with oaths and threats prevented the
passage Of any one that way.
At this juncture a new feature arose
Samuel Merklin, who was the part.
driving the road wagon, which had beer
a great aid to Mrs. Kramer at the rail
road crossing, came up to these gentle
men, if that name may be allowed, ant
demanded that they let the lady ant
her children pass This demand onl,
added fuel to the flame of vulgarity an,
oaths, so to speak. They demande'
that he show his authority by previn
himself better man than they in
fisticuff. This was not complied with
but the law had to be complied with o.
last thursday before his Honor, Mayo
Dawson.
The charges set against both the afore
named parties were running horses with
in the corporation and attempting t
provoke a breach OF the peace, to bot
OF which charges they pleaded guilt
and were fined in the sum Of $3.50 eacf
The Mayor is right in making th
penalty of broken law mean somethin
more than nominal fines.

Fishing With Purse seines.

Purse seines, says the Washington
Star, are used extensively in the mack
erel and menhaden fisheries on the
sighted boats put out from the fishing
schooner and circling about the fish run
out great wal Of netting, which can
be drawn together at the bottom like q
purse so as to hold the fish. In the
mackerel fisheries seines as much as
225 fathoms in length and 25 fathoms
in depth are used. Cork lines and
buoys are used to float the upper part
of the net ON the surface while the
lower part is he'd down by a lead line.
It. requires considerable skill to fish
successfully with the purse seine As
the schooner sails over the fishing
grounds man is posted at the mast
head to keep q lookout for schools Of
fish or any movement on the part OF
other vessels indicating that they have
sighted fish. When the lookout shouts
that he has sighted school, he gives
directions how to s eer the vessel, and
oil is hustle on board. The members
OF the crew jump to their places in the
seine boat which is towed astern or at
the side of the schooner. The captain
takes his place on platform in the
stern OF the boat where he can steer
and direct the operations of the crew.
He has to calcu ate the speed at which
the school is moving and have his boat
rowed SO as to intercept them and
cut them off with his net. A
little dory with two men aboard follows
the seine boat and picking up line at
tatched to tho buoy where the net is
first doopped into the wa or, holds it in
place until the seine boat has rowed
around q wide circle and back to the
dory. Then the men tug on the ropes
that purse the seine and the net is
gradually taken in, the part in the
water being diminished in size until
there is nothing left but little purse
filled with fish which are bailed out
and taken to the schooner. When the
men put out q net the captain and oil
the crew leave the schooner except the
cook, who has to sail the vessel
andoften get dinner at the same time.
dividing his time between the-
wheel and the cooks galley. It is
among the vicissitudes of fisher
mans life to have to eat burned din
ner. Until few years ago such fishing
was done only in the day time, but the
competi ion led to fishing at night, SO
that the crews are worked almost con-
stantly. At night, too, fish riseto the
surface that remain far below in the
day time. Their presence is betrayed
by the movement Of phosphorescent
particles in the water. When the same
boat goes out at night, the attending
dory carries light SO the captain can
see how to steer his boot SO as to com
plete the circle.

bones, cut into small pieces, and, after
being chopped fine, is mixed with eggs,
milk, and -four, seasoned with salt and
pepper, and boiled in mould. It is
generally made from salmon and cod or
halibut arranged in layers, and a6 il app
