RIGHT WAY TO DO EVERYTHING.
The poultry market is dull, very dull" said
the knight OF the chickens; broilers are selling
for three or hye bits, roast chickens Tor 81 20,
hens six and eight bits, squads 81 dozen, ducks
70 cents and 81, geese 81 and 81 90 and tur-
keys % and 20 cents pound"
"DOes warm weather have much effect upon
your stock III trade?' was what was asked the
fsn-dealer.,
Not SO much; because nearly everybody who
buys hsh intends to use 1t within a few hours OF
lis purchase, aud smelt, Gods, founders and shad
are tsb that will keep well anyway. We cook
crabs as soon as they reach u.s. and so save them
the trouble of dying. CLANS, the large soft
shelled ones, are 20 cents quart Tomales
CLANS, the small hard shelled ones, or cookies,
are 90 cents quart. This has been a very poor
year for musses. Seven years ago we had
poor year Just like this. Those who catch them
say that 1t IS owing TO so much fresh water that
has been washed down into The bay. But they
also report that next year Will be good for mus
sells, as The places everywhere are covered with
small ones. R0ck-cod salmon are 10 cents a
pound. A bit Is the price OF goldfish, sole, houu-
ders, perch, smet and kingfish. Mountain trout
is 30 cents a pound salmon trout o and bits
apiece, tom-cod 20 cents pound, sturgeon 10
cents, smoked salmon 20 cents, and Germfn
carp the same. Halibut and bafracuda are
scarce. Pompano is 81 80 pound. Yes; some
private families eat 1t even AT that price. One
day this week it was as low as 81 so. The price
depends entirely upon The amount received In
The market. IL comes from Sequel and Monterey
Bay. Occasional some are caught In San Fran
cisco Bay. Picked shIimps are so cents a pound.
There is considerable demand FOR the liyers OF
cod. rock-ish and sea-bass They are put in
with slewed fish, which Is cooked with oil and
garlic, and very tasty combination II is. can
assure you. Nothing spoils the flavor OF fish
more than TOO much lard.
HAM FAT is THE BEST OF ALL.
"Green corn has come in. Not very tempting,
certainly" said the gIeen-groceI, but 1t finds
ready customers at 60 cents a Dozen" Cucum-
bers are 60 cents dozen, and tile same price
must be paid for pound OF fresh green pep

HORSE AND MAN WILDLY CHEERED
When the Maine Stallion Nelson
Shot Under the Wire In 2.iIi ia.
His Owner Carried About on the
Shoulders of Excited Spectators.
How Three Great Records Were
Made on the Same Day.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, October 9.-The fol-
lowing three fastest harness records in the
world were made here to today; the fastest
stallion record, 2114; the fastest mile ever
paced or trotted in a race, 2.09a; and the
three fastest heats in a race, 2.09f, 2.122 and
2.l3. The great attraction was the announce
ment that Nelson would go to beat Axtel's
time Of 2.12 made over this track last fall.
About o'clock the great Maine stallion ap-
peared on the track, driven by his owner, G.
ii. Nelson, and was given warming up
heat In 2.23, the last quarter In 32t. A quar-
ter of an hour later, the stallion, with his
smooth and frictionless motion, came brush
ing down the stretch. On the second time
down the word was given, with the stallion
going smooth and strong, with runner at
his back. The watches split at 80 seconds at
the first quarter, and at the half in 1.04a, the
horse going entirely on his courage Now
the runner quickens his stride and moves up.
With his ears laid back, the stallion catches
the hoof beats behind him. Another link is
let out as he gamely fights against time,-to
the three-quarters pole in 1864. As he
swings into the turn for home. all know an
other record goes down. Cheer follows
cheer as he flies under the wire in 2.114. His
driver and owner, G. II. Nelson, is scarcely
permitted to salute the judges for dismount-
ing orders before the track is black with a
wildly enthusiastic crowd. Nelson is lifted
bodily from his sulky, and borne aloft on
the shoulders of enthusiastic men, while the
stallion's neck is encircled with a wreath of
flowers, and quite a time elapses before he
can be led from the track.
In the great free-for-all pacing race, Hal
pointer won; time. first heat by quarters,

which crushed in his head.
Mr.. Harrison testified there were fewer
than 30 civilians outside the court house
when he arrived while there was a large
force OF policemen on each side Of the gates
The policemen used great and unnecessary
violence. AS Mr.. O'Brien appeared TO be ia
great danger, the witness went into the road
70 see II anything could De done TO check the
violence OF the police. Col Waddell, who
was In command, addressed the police saying
something TO the effect that they must not
make disturbance. The command not be-
Ing 0beyed, the witness asked the policemen
wny they disDbeyed their officers orders.
Upon this, constable aimed blow with his
baton at the witness, who parried 1t. An
other constable then seized him by the
throat. The witness pushed the cOnstable's
hand away Seeing another policeman
about to strik- some one In the crowd, the
witness caught and held his wrist, prevent
lug the blow from falling. At this juneture,
an officer came up and said that IL the wit
ness would let the man go, he lthe officerl
would take the policeman out Of the row,
and prevent him from creating further dis
order. The witness saw the police strike
another man and was himself hustled In all
directions besides being struck with a blow
from behind. During the disturbance, he
saw a constable strike and fell Mr.. Sheehy.
The civilians threw no stones and struck no
blows except In parrying blows from the
polieemen's DatOus.

THREATS AGAINST holland
As He Was Taken Through the
Streets to Jail.

DOVER, N. H., October s.-"Teggs" Hol-
land, who assaulted Edward M. Carr on the
highway last night in an attempt to rob him,
was arrested this afternoon. Word came
soon after noon that Holland had been seen
in HulPs Swamp. The police went to search
for him and Alonzo Whitehouse found him
in the centre of Pages woods. He fred two
shots at him and Holland ran from the woods
into the clear space with twenty after him.
They chased him into another clump of
bushes on Sixth street where he was caught.
He asked what was the news in town. saving
he was on the street last evening and heard
there was shooting affair. When searched
no revolver was found. He says he has had
none for two days. He says he was about
the streets all last night but refused to say
why he did not go home or where he slept.
He was taken to Carr's boarding place and
Carr fully identified him as his assailant.
The crowd about the streets was immense
and on the way to the station many threats
we're made against Holland, which, it is
thought. would have been carried out had he
not been strongly guarded. At the station
Holland claimed that he knew nothing of
last nights shooting. He said he was In the
woods because he did not want to be caught
He said he never saw Carr before today and
was innocent of any crime. The station was
not considered safe and he was taken to the
revolving jail. Carr's condition is not much
imprO 7ed yer this morning.

THEY WERE NOT REBELS
who Escaped From Prison Pens
Through Southern Armies.

WASHINGTON, October 9.-Assistant Sec
retary Bussey has rendered, in the case Of
Russell S. Cole. late of Co. E, 1st regiment
New York Veteran Cavalry, and Co. D, 9th
New York Volunteers, decision that de-
fines the status of prisoners OF war who,
having enlisted in the rebel service to es-
cape Imprisonment, returned to their own
command and are applicants for pensions on
account of disabilities incurred by reason of
service and in the line of duty. The decis-
ion rescinds the ruling made by Commission.
er Black, May 25th, 1885, in which the Com
missioner held that regardless of circum-
stances and motives, prisoner of war so
enlsting in the rebel service, even as de-
vice of escape from starvation in imprison-
ment should be held as having voluntarily"
aided the rebellion and be therefore barred
from a pension by section 4716 of the Re-
vised Statutes, which prohibits pensions to
persons "who in any manner voluntarily en-
gagged in, or aided, or abetted the late rebel
lion" The assistant secretary quotes the
rulings made in similar cases by Secretaries
Cox and Teller in opposition to the rulings
made by Commissioner Black, and grants
the pension.

SEIZED THE PAPERS.
The Atlanta Constitution Runs
Against the AntI-Lottery Law.

ATLANTA, Ga. October 9.-The postal au-
thorities today seized the weekly edition of
the Atlanta Constitution, which contained a
prize distribution offer to subscribers to be
settled by Christmas drawing. About 100,-
900 papers were got out before the seizure
was made. The northern edition of $1,000 is
detained. The paper offered to give bonds
for any amount to cover any verdict that
might be rendered, but the postal authori-
pers go through the mails. The postal ar
thorities claim that this distribution violates
the recently passed anti-lottery law. When
the law was passed the Constitution an
nounced that newspapers ought to assist the
government in executing its provisions, and
promptly stopped the publication of its regu-
lar lottery advertisement, not thinking the
law was intended to cover such features as
