A Trip to Cranberry.

Last Friday afternoon, after the de-
pot consultation had ended, Col. G. II.

A. B. Bowman, Col. T. E. Matson, G.
G. X. Lide, w. d. Peters and Cy II.

and spend the night. With the ex-
ception of Col. Matson, VINO could not
leave the city, the party accepted the
invitation, and at 80 O'Clock a spe-
cial train, drawn by engine No. 1,
with Belmont Watson at the throttle
aud "Buck" McNees, stoker, Mat.
Campbell pulling the cord, left the
city for the objective point, and the
run was made in one hour and fifty
two minutes. Shortly after the arrival
at the Cranberry Hotel, supper was
announced, and the appetite created
by the ride eagerly appeased. The
evening was spent in different ways,
but principally in whist.
The party arose early, having had a
delightful nights rest, and, after stow
ing away one Of Maj. Hahn's palata-
BILE breakfasts, which prepares one
to better appreciate the beauties Of
nature, the party spent an hour while
waiting for the train in viewing
the hotel and surroundings. The
morning was perfect; not cloud OBJ
scured the view of the mountain tops
for miles and miles. While nature
has done much for Cranberry, the ex-
quisite taste of Maj. Hahn has made
it the most delightful place on earth.

with turf as soft as a carpet, and
dotted over it in charming profusion

ration Of his guests. On the inside OF

streets, lad in dog-cart whipped up
his horse and attempted to pass the

which gave sudden lurch and
struck an electric light pole. The
now thoroughly frightened animal
dashed up the street at full gallop.
The boy tugged at the lines manfully,
but without avail. AS Mrs. HarrisOn'S

runaway horse dashed ahead madly and

concussion threw the horse to the
ground, where it lay kicking and bleed

horses and turned their heads toward
the cottage at the point.

NO DANGER OF A SCRAP.
Admiral Hotham Will Not Protect
Piratical Sealers.

VICTORIA, B. c., July 18Th. M. S.
War Sprite, flagship OF the North
Pacific squadron, with Rear Admiral
Hotham aboard, has arrived here. The
admiral was seen on board the flagship
by the correspondent, who interviewed
him chiefly in regard to the suggested
movement of war; ships to protect Cana
dian vessels in Behring sea. The adj
miral had not yet had opportunity to
complete the perusal of the mass of cor
respondence that awaited him here. but
he stated emphatically that he had as
vet received no instructions to send any
OF the feet to the North to protect Brit
ish vessels from seizure by Amer
ican cutters. OF to retake any
that might be. seized in Behring
sea. He considered the matter princi-
pally from what he had read of it in the
press as purely one for diplomatic nego-
tiotions, and he had yet to learn what
new phase had presented itself that
would suggest the possibility of war
ships being required to take hand in
the adjustment of the difficulty. Ad-
miral Hotham said he could hardly see
how the United States could establish
tenable claim to close Behring sea, and
thought that Canadian interests must
win in the diplomatic fight progressing.
While his information on the subject
and on points of international law
would not justify an opinion, he thought
it somewhat strange that Sealers that
had been seized had been stripped of
their contents, sealskins being removed
to cutters, and then apparently allowed
to escape. When prize crew was put
on board of SLAYER seized in similar
fashion the slaves were not taken off,
but went with the seized boat to
the nearest prize port, where their
case was adiudicated. 1t certainly looks
like strange proceeding to remove the
salabIe cargo of the sealers and then
go through the face of sending them to
prize port with crew of one in
charge. Had England any intention of
sending one of the fleet to Behring sea
this year to prevent the seizure of
schooners flying the English flag, it was
presumed that orders would have come
long ago. Now, if one did go, it would
be practically too late in the season to
accomplish the end aimed at. He eer-
taiDly Should make no move in the mat
ter without ample instructions so to do.

A Yankee Fisherman Gives the
Stanley the Slip.
ST. JOHN. N. B., July 18.-Two GlOu-
cester fishermen arrived here this morn
ing and will be sent home tonight by
United States Consul Sampson.
Their story is interesting. They
were fishing on shares in the
Gloucester schooner Lizzie w.
Harmon, Capt. Lewis, who had been
seining mackerel in the vicinity of Bay
Chaleur, having fair luck. On Tues
day last they put into GaSpe, when the
captain sent seines ashore to be mended.
The Canadian cruiser Stanley appeared
aboat midnight, and the seines were
not brought aboard till morning.
The Harmon was suspected by the
Stanley, and was spoken by the cruiser
when entering Bay des Chaleurs. The
boats of the Gloucester men were then
little distance away. The nets were
sunk by the fishermen; and, when the
rowing about. The next day prepara-
tions were made by the fishermen to
go on a trip, and soon the Yankee
before a smart northwest breeze showed
her heels to Stanley. A chase was
made, but the seiner soon had ten miles
of clear water to the good and was going
at race horse speed. The men who are
being sent home, at the time when
the chase began, were ashore de-
livering mess mackerel to an old
woman who assisted them IN mend
ing their nets, and, though they were
waiting several days, their vessel did
not appear. They walked to Campbell
town, distance of 100 miles, whence
the United States consular agent for
warded them to this city. The Han
non had about 200 barrels of mackerel
on board when chased.

WRAPPED IN A NEWS PAPER
The Chopped-Up Body Of a
Woman Found in ST. Louis.


ST.. LOUIS, July 1S.-A box containing
the chopped-up pieces of part of
woman's body was found in the baggage
room of the union depot this morning.
The box has been in the pile of un-
claimed baggage for almost six months
without address. Part of the body was
wrapped in st. Louis paper dated
Feb. 16. The remains found consisted
of hand, foot, the trunk, leg and arm
bones, to which pieces of flesh were
clinging, and part of the backbone.
The condition of the body, which was
worthless to a medical student, points
to probable butchery. The head was
missing, and the presence of maggots
showed that the body had not been
chemically treated for the purposes of
dissecting. The identity of the man
who left the box is unknown, but the
police are working on the case.
