Battle OF MARINE MONSTERS.

A Terrific Combat Between a Whale and
Swordfsh and a Thrasher.
San Francisco special: A few mornings
since Captain Haskell, OF the tug Relief, wit
messed a strange sight, just after casting
loose from the schooner Kitsap, which he
had towed to sea. When near the whis'
Ting buoy a large humpback whale sud.
denly appeared blowing on the surface oil
the water. In a moment the whale was
followed by a thrasher, which attacked the
big fish and began beating it with it's heavy
fins. The whale sounded to avoid it's tor.
mentor, but quickly r~eappeared, only to be
set on by it's enemy.
This continued for some time, both OF
the monsters disappearing and reappear-
ing again at intervals, during which the Re-
lief approached within less than a hundred
feet OF them, when the whale suddenly dove
and instantly came to the surface followed
by an immense swordfish, which repeated.

The strange action of the whale in not
from the thrasher was then OK.
Every time he would dive the
swordfsh drove him to the surface again,
the thrasher set upon him, and be.
tween the two the whale was finally beaten
and stabbed to death.

Alleged Gold Discovery in Ohio.

"A special from Cincinnati says: For
several years gold in small quantities has
been found in Clermont county in this
state, not NOR than twenty miles from
Cincinnati. inexperienced men have
worked over the ground at intervals.
About a week ago two experienced miners,
farm of John Wood, in Clermont county,
looked over the ground thoroughly and
then went to work. They say a discovery
like they have made anywhere in the west
would attract 1000 miners within forty
eight hours. Until the arrival of these
miners no attempts we're ever made to tun-
mel into the hill where gold is found. So
are the miners that they have
struck q rich lead that they have perfected
plans to sink a shaft and at once begin
tunnelling to the spot whence the surface
gold comes.

why q Beautiful But Weak Society Girl
Married an Omaha Millionaire.
Omaha, Neb., special: When K. C. Bar
ton, son Of the Hon. Guy Barton, one OF
the wealthiest capitalists OF this city, came
home a few days ago, after having spent a
month as the husband OF beautiful Miss
Fannie Bridges, of O~gdensburg, he ex-
planned the non.appearance OF his wife with
him by promising a very sensationalstory.
The story has now been made public,
and it surpasses in the features of start
ling romance the intricate plots OF Gabo-
rian himself.
Miss Bridges was a prominent society
girl at Ogdensburg. N. Y. She was not
wealthy, but she enjoyed the entree into
the most exclusive circles. Similarly stu
ated financially, but equally fortunate so.
cially, was Hallam. She met and loved
him. Both decided they.were too poor to
marry. The result was the connection OF the
extraordinaryscheme above referred to. Miss
Bridges, while not handsome, was bright.
vivacious, ingenious and irresistible to most
men. 1t Hallam's suggestion she came to
Omaha to visit relatives.
Here she 1T once became social favorlte
and had q host Of gentlemen admirers,
among them Mr.. K. G. Barton. Their &C.
q~uaintance ripened rapidly, and when she
left for her home in Ogdensburg they were
engaged. A few weeks ago their wedding
took place there and was a most brilliant
event. One of the guests was Hallam. He
was introduced to the groom and Dol had
firmly established himself in his affections,
as he had previously done in those OF the
bride. Mi. Barton gave him q pressing in
vitation to visit him at Omaha at the end
Of the bridal tour. The wedding trip was
to include Montreal. There Hallam was to
meet them and the drugging and exposure
was to take place. For some reason he
failed to be on hand.
The letters containing the details OF the
plot Hallam had deposited in the safe OF a
lawyer friend in Ogdensburg. The lawyer,
who had alec been a party to the scheme,
finally yielded to the promptings OF con
science, found a friend of Mr.. Barton, ST.,
and gave them to him. The latter i'm.
mediately sent them to the groom's father
at Omaha, who, accompanied by al attor'
ney, overlook the bridal couple at st.
Louis and confronted the woman with the
letters. She broke down and confessed
An immediate separation took place and
the wedding presents we're returned to the
donors.

How fondly I remember
The time we culled them there,
And meath the shady naples
Iwove them in your hair.
How there in bliss We tarried
Until the set OF sun,
The time that you were twenty
And I was twenty-one.

We've had U summer, darling,
The fields of life are brown;
We've Travelled up the hillside,
We're on our journey down;
Yet oft / wake from dreaming,
Those days have just begun
That you again are twenty

He Puzzles q Number or Doubters who
Met Him Yesterday.
DIR. Louis Schiessineer, q medium Of wide
reputation, arrived in the city yesterday,
and or the train from Garrison formed the
acquaintance Of County Attorney Dewitt.
whom he informed OF his powers. In the
afternoon Mr.. Dewitt asked q number OF
his friends, representing various professions
and occupations, to gather at his office and
the doctor would give demonstrations Of
his power to converse with the spirits OF
departed ones. Among those invited was
a MINER reporter and George Haldorn, Esq.
George entered the room and soon became
a convert, for the doctor asked him to
write the names Of several persons on slips
Of paper and among them the names OF
of friends who were dead. The doctor left
the room while the doubling George was
writing, and when the latter had completed
the task he called in the medium.
In q few moments the table
began to snap like . new saddle and the
doctor called on his Guide" to read the
names OF those who were dead. The slips
of pap containing the names were closely
folded 80 as to preclude all possibility OF
che comments being seen. Several were
passed over until finally the doctor called
the name OF Mr.. Haldcrn's grandfather
and then those OF one or two others in the
Esprit Land" He next told MI. Hal.
dorn's full name and also his profession.
The MINER man Was the next subject,
and he proved to be q trifle tougher than
the attorney, but finally the cracking
sound commenced. and the medium called
out the name OF the late Captain Coulter,
which the reporter had written, and then
that OF q dead sister, and closed by telling
the Faber parer the full maiden nameo OF his
mother and his own name and also the
occupation he was following. The medium
did not know the name nor calling OF any
person present, it being agreed upon before
hand that no allusion to either was to be
made in his presence.
Green Majors, Attorney Baldwin and
several others also had "sittings," n all
left mystiied, If not convinced.
The doctor is an elderly man OF splendid.
physique, and Of Jewish parentage, and in
1868 was the victim OF great perse-
cution by his friends and relatives
because of his conversion to s~plritualism,
and was finally incarcerated in Jail. This
occurred in New York, and when the doc.
tor mentioned it Mr.. De Witt recalled all
the circumstances, he having been q resi-.
dent of New York at that time. The doc
tor does not pretend to be q fortune tell
er or seer, as he does not believe in it, and
calls it superstition, but does claim to be q
medium able TO commune with the spirits
of those in Esprit Land" He is certainly
a ''queer one" as one Of the gentlemen who
interviewed him put it. ~
