Ma n and Melon in Collision

From the Savannah News.
A prominent lawyer in this city had
a client, the other day, who related a
story which shows that a watermel-
on may accomplish great damage
when used as q weapon under certain
circumstances.
The lawyers client is a conductor
on a Central Railroad freight train.
A few daye ago, as the train was 60
ing up the road at speed of twenty
miles an hour, the conductor was
standing in the top of his caboose
looking ahead out of the window,
with his head resting on his arm.
The train rushed by small station
where a lot of watermelons were be-
ing loaded in some cars.
AS the freight train passed one OF
the hands engaged in loading, in a
spirit of fun, pitched one of the mel
ons at the conductors head in the
window of the caboose. His aim was
we'll taken and the consequences
were disastrous. The melon struck
the conductor squarely on the face
and arm, knocking out three teeth,
cut his face open, and almost broke
his arm. The ioker's melon almost
finished the conductor. The speed at
which the train was running was re-
sponsible for the unusual force of the
blow.
The conductor is now preparing to
sue the party who threw the melon.
The man who threw it says he only
wanted to treat the conductor to a
melon.

mess Is Meant.
TACOMA, Wash, Special Telegram, Aug.
19.--Dispatches to-day from San Francisco
state that some alarm is ielt about the gov
ernment cutter Corwin, which sailed from
Port Townsend some time ago. The Cor
win on Saturday received orders to proceed
to Behring sea at once, and is now en- route
to Seattle for coal, after which she will pro-
ceed north, first going to Sitka. Capt.
Hooper says he has orders to act under the
first instructions received. These instruc-
tions authorized a very vigorous policy,
and were recalled and more conservative
course authorized. When the Richard
Rush sailed, the first orders directed the
captains of the cutters to seize all vessels
where there was any circumstantial evidence
to show that they had been paaching. The
prizes were to be stripped of all bunt-
ing and their skins and papers were
also also" to be, be taken; and only
to last the vessel and prize crew until the
nearest port was reached. The subsequent
orders were that the cutters should serve
all vessels found i'll the sea with a copy OF
President Harrisons proclamation, and il
the vessel was seen again to capture it. The
department, Capt. Hooper's orders lead one
to believe, has determined that the more
vigorous policy should be followed, and,
although it is late in the season, all sealing
vessels found pOaching are to be summarily
dealt with.
