GOOD FISHING.
Eighty Pounds of Flatfish in Two
 Hours.

Hours.
 Fred Butler of Newhallville and Philip Menges of the corner of Church and Chapel streets went down to the old light house fishing yesterday and caught with a hook and line eighty pounds of fatfsh in about two hours-from 3 to p. ID. That beats the record. They hauled in the fish two at time often and about as fast as they could bait hook and drop line. Many of the fish weighed over pound apiece. The largest one weighed pound and quarter. Old fishermen admit that this was uncom- mon luck. The fish were caught off the old pier near the old lighthouse. ''Fred cut the bait," and therefore Menges caught most of the fish.

man we'll known in this city, IN Minnie
Reynolds hagnio al an early hour this
morning. created quite a sensation.
especially as there are peculiar cir
cumstances connected with il, and
the cause of death is not
positively known. Barnes returned
from European trip, which was taken as
cure for the drink and morphine habit,
about : week ago, looking the picture OF
health. and his father thought he had re-
formed. Last night, however, he got IN
with some cronies and got drunk. They
left him about midnight, and at 1 o'clock
this morning he stumbled into Minnie
Reynolds house. saying he was sick and
wanted to lie down. He took
drink OF water and then
was led into . hack room, where he lay
down on bed About O'Clock this morn
ing Minnie Reynolds had occasion to go
by the room She heard heavy breathing.
and on opening the door saw Barnes frcth-
ing at the mouth, and to all appearances
nearly dead.- She knew he was dying, and
at once sent for physician He died
soon after they reached him, stomach
pump having been used 70 no purpose.
The physicians gave the cause of death rs
hearf failure, superinduced BY opium or
morphine poisoning. Whether he took the
drug with suicidal intent, or it was given TO
him, is not known The inmates of the
house deny having given him anything.
The deceased was - years Of age, and
leaves two married sisters and father, an
old and respected resident of this city.
