WHAT OUR FISHERMEN WANT.
Denied Commercial Privileges-Calling
Makes Brave Men.

Denied Commercial Privileges-CaIling
Makes Brave Men.
Sylvanus Smith, owner of fishing vessels
at Gloucester, told the congressional commit
tee at New York what he knew about the
fishery interests. For II years, he said, he
had sailed on the high seas, outside the three
mile limit, from the Canadian coast. In 1885,
when we had reciprocity treaty, the Amer
lean fishery interests were booming and the
The trade, so to speak, in the fishery line re-
suited in gain to the Canadians. What the
witness had particularly to complain of was
that the canadian fishermen were allowed
commercial privileges by this country which
were denied us by Canada. In other words,
that American fishermen are denied the gen.
eral commercial privileges allowed to other
vessels.
Charles Fl. Pew, of Johns Pew g. Son of
Gloucester, testified that his firm was en-
gagged in fitting out fishing vessels. Each
vessel averaged about Is men. Owners sup
piled the outfit, and the crew worked the
vessel on shares.
Senator Hoar asked witness for his views
as to the value of crews of fishing vessels of
Gloucester for service in the navy in event
of war.
Mr. Pew replied that the fishermen were
always eagerly sought after to serve in the
navy. About one-seventh of the population
of Gloucester took an active part in the late
war. Their calling as fishermen necessarily
made them brave. A naval reserve could be
formed among them.
Returning 10 the subject of Canada's treat
ment of American fishermen, Mr.. Pew said
limit. What they did want was the right to
get such eonveniences as flour, bait, ETC.,
when in Canada. Such privileges were not
necessities, but rather conveniences.

NO. 10.
Engineer of the Train Tried to Make a
"Sneak"-Result, q Crash.

Engineer of the Train Tried to Make a
"Sneak"-Result, a Crash.
A frightful and fatal wreck occurred at
Kokomo, Ind, Dec. 81, on the Panhandle
railway. Train No. 10, northbound. left the
junction at 2. 10 6. m, schedule time. When
about a mile north il met train No. Il, south
bound. 1t was running 30 miles an hour.
The two trains crashed together, totally
demolishing the engines and burning the
baggage car and coaches of the southbOund
train, which rumbled on top of the engines.
George Cummings, engineer of No. II,
was buried in the wreck, and died imme-
diately after being eXtricated.
Tom Mccullough, engineer of 10, lies at the
Clinton House, KokOmo, with his head
crushed, and cannot live.
Baggagemaster Kerlin, injured in the back
and head, was taken to Galveston, where he
died at 8 O'Clock.
Thomas HARDER also was hurt seriously.
A number of passengers in the coaches
were shaken up badly. The cause of the
wreck is a mystery, as the engineers of both
trains are both unable to testify, but the gen.
eral opinion is that the northbound engineer
was trying to make 'sneak" to the side
track at Jewell, four miles north, to pass No.
IA, which was slightly behind time.

Masculine.

Tom, who had been forbidden to
climb trees in his new trousers, had
disobeyed, and was receiving lecture
from his father for injuring his cloth

Fearing that flogging was to fol-

"Pa," he exclaimed, "my teacher
says some plants are masculine gender
and some feminine; now l know
which trees are-do your"
The fathers curiosity was excited; ;
he was fairly trapped. ''No," he said,

"Masculine," said Tom, "cause

Killed With a Turnip.

George Farmer, an old restaurant
keeper at Shelburne, small town on
the Evansville and Terre Haute Rail-
road, was found dead on Sunday morn
ing on the sidewalk in front of his
residence. His death was a mystery,
but suspicious of foul play resulted in
the arrest of four men. John Bullock
was tried for the murder, and the tes-
timony showed that he had thrown a
turnip at the old man and hit him on
the head, which killed him instantly.
Bullock could throw with great force,
being a base ball player. The trial
lasted several days and the jury brought
in a verdict of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

SCATTER YOUR CRUMBS.

Amid the freezing sleet aud snow,
The timid robin comes;
In pity, drive him not away.
But scatter out your crumbs.
And leave your door upon the latch
For whosoever comes;
The poorer they, more welcome give,
And scatter out your crumbs.
All have to spare, none are too poor,
When want with winter comes
The loaf is never all your own,
Then scatter out the crumbs.
Soon winter falls upon your life,
The Day of Reckoning comes;
Against your sins, by High Decree,
Are weighed those scattered crumbs.

Robert Coleman, of Cornwall, Pa,
the millionaire who owns the great ore
mines at Mount Gretna, was in the
city this morning in private car, re-
turning from an extended Western
tour. Mr.. Coleman is in some respects
like George Westinghouse. He is a
genius and first-cass machinist. He
owns small railroad at Mount Gretna,
the outlet of his celebrated ore mines,
and he often, when at home, spends
all entire day on the road in the posi-
ton of locomotive engineer. There
is not man in his employ, it is said,
that knows more about an engine or
can run one better than Mr.. Coleman.
He becomes thoroughly acquainted
with the routine work on his line and
is continually making some improve
ments.-Pittsburg Press.

Nothing New Under the Sun.

James E. Umbstaetter tells story
which illustrates one of the tricks in
the patent business. He wears a
peculiar, old-fashioned watch chain,
with a ring for fob, hanging from a
vest buttonhole. 1t was given to him
by his father who had worn it many
years. A day or two ago he visited u
jewelry store and asked to be shown
some watch chains. The urbane clerk
handed out tray and, holding one
chain delioately between his white
thumb and foreiinger, said; "There is
the latest thing out. 1t has just
been patented" "Why, it's just like
the one | wear" Mr.. Umbstaetter said,
and he compared the chains. The de-
signs were identical, but the new pa
tent was bona fide.-Pittsburg Dis

COIored People Celebrate Their Emancipa-
ton In South Carolina.
1t Is probable that Jan. 1, 1890, may mark
an era in the history of the colored race in
South Carolina, nor Is it altogether improb-
able that the new departure now made may
have powerful bearing on the solution of
the perpleXlng race problem that binders and
hampers southern progress. In modest way
the first colored state fair ever held in South
Carolina opened to the inspection of the pub
lie of both races. The day could not have
been worse, but the attendance was fair.
There were in all 553 entries. These included
horses, cattle, poultry, field crops and fancy
articles. 1t. of course, falls very far below
the standard of the whites, but it is not dis
appointing. A regiment of colored troops
from Charleston will reach there soon and
visitors are coming in rapidly. Gov. Rich
ards will address them and there will be a
sham battle.

ssnted as TO make me appear inferior to that

AN ANCIENT SINNER.
HE Is ONE OF THE WORST CROOKS IN
THE COUNTRY.
His Record a Celebrated One in Criminal
History Still Plying His Confidence
Games at the Age of 7O-A1bert Victor
Wards Career of Crime.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 29.-Albert Victor
Ward. the old man arrested in this city by
Detective Hayes last week, and now in Jail
on four charges of practlcing confidence
games, has been identified. He is not a
wealthy horse-breeder of Kentucky out
on an unfortunate spree, but is one
of the most noted and dangerous
check-raisers and all-around crooks that
this country has ever known. He is man
now probably 20 years old, and over half of
that time has been spent in the penitentiary
in nearly half the States in the Union. His
pictures are in the rogue's gallery of every
principal police station OF the country.
Ward had but recently been released from
the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus, where
he was sent for cutting a female fortune
teller of Cincinnati. Inspector Byrnes, of
New York, in his book on criminals, devotes
a whole chapter to Ward, whom he desig-
mates as the most skillful and dangerous
check-raiser and confidence man in the
country. Ward is native of indianapolis.
His correct name is the one he always gives,
and he is believed to be descendant of one
of the three celebrated Ward families of
Kentucky.
Albert Victor is thought to be one of two
brothers who went to the bad years ago, one
of them being fugitive from justice for
murder he committed early in the ffties,
and the other following suit not long after
ward by committing forgery. This latter
one, it is claimed. is the aged and gray
haired man now in Jail here. His
preliminary trial will take place
next Saturday. The Identification of
Ward is wholly due to a suggestion
from reporter, vino thought he recognized
in Ward the old confidence swindler sent to
prison from Cincinnati about two years ago
and who impaired his belief to Chief of Po-
lice Speers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-John P. Mat
thews, the postmaster at Carrollton, Miss,
who was murdered a day or two ago by a
young man named Mcbride, has a brother,
j. NJ. Matthews, living in this city, who was
the late Republican candidate for Congress
against General Hooker. Mr.. Matthews to-
day received telegram from Carrollton
giving the following particulars:
John was murdered by a mob. He had
been notified by dozen men that a mob
was going to kill him that day. He saw
the men with their guns and he got rifle.
When he did this the Sheriff arrested him
and placed him under bonds. John
pointed three men out to the Sheriff
and asked him to arrest them and protect
his lie. The Sheriff refused. 1t was
plot and all were in it. John told Lloyd
"a young man working ior him) he thought
they would kill him before night. He
stayed at the postoffice until his second din
ner bell rang, when he said he would go to
dinner. They begged him not to go, but he
said he would. When he reached the hotel
steps, Mcbride, who was still in his drug
store, shot him down with shotgun, killing
him instantly.
'Not satisfied with this, Mcbride fired
i've shots at him from a revolver after he
was dead. The mob then began dancing
and shouting around the body with the most
vile abuse and curses. John had received
several anonymous letters, telling him he
must leave the town. The murderer goes
free and all because they must have the
postofice at Carrollton."
MY brother" said Mr. Matthews, "was
only q years old. He was bright, 1ntelli-
gent boy. He was appointed postmaster
several months ago at Carrollton, and while
there have been number of threats
at his life, did not think anything would
come OF it. He was the first Republican
postmaster to take the Carrollton Office for
many years, and it was freely said that no
Republican should hold the Office. Carroll
ton is Senator Georges home.'
Mr.. Matthews, the dead man. comes of an
old family in Mississippi In 1888 his
father was shot down by mob at Hazel
hurst, Miss.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The Civil Ser
vice Commission has addressed letter to
the President in reply to the annual report
of the Postmaster General, in which Mr..
Wanamaker said that the civil service ex-
animation ought to be improved by being
rendered more difficult In its letter the
commission points out the fact that it has
many times asked high officials of the Post
office Department for suggestions. as to the
improvement of these examinations, and has
also asked the Postmaster General himself,
and that the officials have never been able
to give them any suggestions. This report
they say, is the first intimation they have
received of the Postoffice Department having
anything whatever to suggest.
The Postmaster Generals statement that
from one-third to one-fourth of the men
furnished by the commission through 1.-THE

proved satisfactory is denied by tn, COM
mission in its letter. which shows that more
than nine-tenths OF these men are still kept
