The annual catch of fish on the
European and North American
coasts is computed by a German
statistician to amount to 100000
tons. A ton of fish corresponds with
twenty-five sheep in weight, and
with twenty sheep in nourishing
power Therefore the total Euro
pean and North American catch
equals in weight forty-two millions
sheep and in nourishing power thirty
millions.

AN APPEAL FOR AID.
Iacroisn I'm the Mines.

The men who toll in Pennsylvania
coal mines are often reckless, but
they are never towards. If, as was
the case at Ashley, it too often hap
pens that terrible loss of life follows
the foolhardv act of one reckless
man, it is equally true that there are
never lacking heroic fellows to take
their lives in their hands and rush
to the rescue of their fellow com
rades. 1t requires heroism of a
high type to enter "working" mine
in which q score of men have just
been entombed and group in pitchy
darkness through gangways that
threaten another fatal collapse at
any moment. The flood of condem-
nation that would ordinarily follow
the awful results of Nine Boss AL
lens reckless lighting of his lamp in
the Ashley slope is partially silenced
because he has paid for his rash
ness with his life. In the whole
dark picture, however, the calm
heroism of the volunteer rescures
stands out in glowing colors.
AT the blazing Nelson shaft at
Shamokin on last Friday night
another band of brave-hearted men
prevented what might have been
another horror, fighting their way
through smoke and flame to save
their endangered comrades. The
engineer who stuck to his post even
while the cylinder of his engine red
dencd with the heat, and drew the
car of rescuers and rescued to the
surface, while the very pulleys that
supported them were aflame, is no
less heroic man than the famous
Mississippi pilot who stood grasping
the wheel of his burning vessel with
the grim resolution, and then fell
dead in the pilot-house-a willing
sacrifice to lofty sense of duty.
The miners constant familiarity
with danger breeds contempt tor
it, which too often results in fatal
recklessness. The Pennsylvania
collier Is often rash, but he is never
craven.

The Executive Board of the
Pittsburg Tades Assembly has adj
opted and sent to President Har-
rison resolution asking for the re-.
moval of Judge McKennan, of the
United States Circuit Court. The
labor organizations are dissatisfied
with the result of the Jeanette
case, in which the defendant was
charged with bringing foreign glass
workers under contract to this coun-
try. The allegation is that Judge
McKenann slept a good part of, the
time while hearing the case. If
this is true it must certainly be re-
garded as very undesirable thing,
but it may be doubted whether it
would justify proceedings in i'm
peachmeit. 1t is waste of effort
to send request for removal to the
President, who has no power of re-
moval i'll this case.

him any serious relapse, but we cam
not refrain from saying that we be-

A DAY OF GLOeM.
Burial of the Victims of the Mine
Disaster.

WILKEs-BARRE, May 16.-The
funeral Of a number of the victims
of the Hartford mine took place
this afternoon. Every available
space was occupied in the cemetery,
and the road leading to it was crow
ded with vehicles of all kinds con-
tanning sight seers. A little after 2
o'clock the funeral arrangements
were completed, and the last sad
offices were performed over the
dead. At that hour the following
victims were buried: Joshua Will
ans, John S. Williams, Ellis D..
Williams, Henry w. Jones, William
Edwards, Richard Jones, Henry
Parry, Owen Parry and Thomas
Davis.
Brief services were held at each of
the houses by Revs. Thomas and
Davis, Of Wilkes-Barre, Hughes
Miller and Caster, of Ashley, and I.
G. Edwards, of Kingston. The
services consisted of singing, pray
ing and in some cases short ad-
dresses. The scenes at the houses
were heartrending in the extreme.
The funeral of Daniel Sullivan was
conducted by Father McAndrews,
of Wilkes Barre, and the interment
was in the Catholic cemetery in
Hanover. The remains of Fire Boss
John H. Allen were taken to Ply
mouth for interment.

GENERAL FREMONTss DEBT.
A Balances of s2a 900 FOumd TO be
Due Him From the Goyernmeut.
Washington Special to Philadelphia Press.

Washington Special TO Philadelphia Press.
A most curious incident illustra-
tive of delay in correcting official
mistakes in the Department at
Washington has just come to light
as sequence of the passage of the
bill placing John G. Fremont ul'on
the retired list of the army with the
rank of Major General.
The first Republican candidate
for the Presidency is most pict-
uresque patriarch seventy-one years
old, and has been for years in cir
cumstances, if not of actual poverty,
at least straitened. In lS48, when
lieutenant in the army, he seized
and held with an iron grip the re-
gion which is now the State of Cali
fornla, and no one denies that the
nation is indebted to him for that
gilded member of sisterhood.
While engaged in this service,
Lieut.. Fremont's accounts with the
government were left in such state
that be has always been regarded as
an official debtor to the government
to the amount of $4,000; and it
has been one of the chief sorrows of
General Fremont's latter years that
he was unable to square the balance
against him, the record of which
was in the Office of the Third Auditor
of the Treasury.
The other day General Fremont
called at the office of Second Comp
troller Gilkeson, of the Treasury,
whose business it would be to pass
upon the balance against him. The
old man in trembling tones stated
to Colonel Gilkeson that lis fnan.
cial circumstances are such that if
his salary as retired Major General
were retained, to meet this alleged
shortage he would be for some time
in actual want. At his request the
Second Comptroller investigated the
accounts and greatly to his surprise
discovered that instead of General
Fremont being a debtor to the
United States, the government had
actually owed him for over forty
years $2l 600. The records were
perfectly clear and it was proved
beyond dispute that through mis-
take in bookkeeping Lieutenant
Fremont had been charged with
$4,000, for which voucher was on
file and that by another clerical error
he had not been credited With q
voucher for S2l 900, which he had
expended under the direction of the
War Department.
When General Fremont called
again to ask Colonel Gilkeson wheth-
er some arrangement might be made
to pay his supposed indebtedness by
instalments, he was SO unprepared
for the glad news awaiting him that
he tainted. On Friday warrant
for the amount due him was made
out, duly approved and signed.

THE VALUE OF CHARACTER.
The Supreme Court emphasize
the statute of value of good charac.
ter in an opinion delivered by Chief
Justice Paxson this morning, granted
a new trial 70 Charles Cleary, who
was convicted of murder in the first
degree in the Oyer and Terminer of
Clinton county, for the killing of
police officer in the town of Remove,
at the close of an evening of hard
drinking. There was no doubt that
Cleary was the man who killed the
officer, and his defence consisted
almost wholly of evidence of intoxi-
cation at the time and of previous
good character. In charging the
Jury the judge told them that "good
character is always of Importance,
and is evidence to be duly considered
by the jury, and may turn the scale
where there is reasonable doubt as
to the degree or grade of the crime. !"
The jury found the defendant guilty
in the first degree, and the Supreme
Court reverses the Judgment and
orders new trial on the ground
