WARRINGTON, July O.-A New York CORE

tary of the Treasury Charles E. Coon, gave
his forecast for 1892 to-day. He said:
IF President Harrison is not renomin-
ated one thing is highly probable, and that
is that Vice President Morton may be. The
logic of the situation may require New
York man and he will be the Hon. Levi P.
Morton. The democrats will nominate New
York man undoubtedly, and the republicans
will be forced to seek candidate from this
state. Mr.. Morton will be the choice. He
is brainy, and although he is nospeaker he
is equal to the exigencies of great political
caucus. He is a statesman in every sense
of the word, and would make great presi-
dent.

but it is only a guess on my part. His
chances for the nomination have been ex-

combinations were made that invariably
defeated him.

A Block Island Fisherman Jerked Over

BLOCK ISLAND, r. l., July 2O.-J. B. Allen,
an island fisherman, had a thrilling expe-
rience with swordfish on Saturday while
fishing in one of the Block Island schooners
ten miles at sea.
The harpoouer had thrown the lilly har-
poon" and fastened it deeply into monster
swordfsh and Allen attempted to throw
overheard the float that goes with the har-
pooh. he became entangled in the line and
just then the fish made terrific plunge.
Allen went overheard with the rope coiled
tightly about his body, and the fish, lashi ng
the ocean into foam, made off rapidly,
dragging the fisherman out to sea.
Allen made desperate effort to extricate
himself, about half the time he being
drawn along below the surf. His compan-
ions on the vessel turned it's prov in the
direction he was being drawn, but could do
nothing else to aid him.
Everyone believed that he must be
drowned as he went bobbing and plunging
out to sea. But Allen preserved his pres
ence of mind and finally succeeded in re-
leasing himself from the coils of the rope.
He rose to the surface and hoated. A few
minutes later his vessel came along and he
was pulled on board. He was almost ex-
hausted.
Then the vessel put chase after the sword
fish, which was killed. It was the largest
swordfsh of the season. Its weight wal
800 pounds.
