GENERAL l. r. SHERWOOD attended
the Reunion of Co. I, 111th o. V. l., at
Hicksville, Defiance county, Saturday,
while on his way to the Bethesda
Springs, Wisconsin, and was presented
by "the boys" with an ebony cane,
properly inscribed. The old soldiers
who presented it, alluded to the fact
that as Colonel he had commanded the
111th Ohio in every battle, some twenty
in number, in which they were engaged
and had stood up for the rights of the
veterans in war and peace. The l1lth
Ohio is one of the fighting regiments
that has had no justice done them in
pension legislation, as the Dependent
bill provides only for those who are
disabled and pauperized and is in no
sense pension for services performed.
The l11th Ohio appreciate the efforts
of their old commander in seeking to
have justice done them and maintain
ing that a pension should be an hon
orable reward for services rendered and
not a poor house provision for the ben
eft of shirks, sneaks and feather bed
wesklings, who dropped out before they
saw fight.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer estimat-
I'd the cost of the Mckinley opening at
Niles at $4,000, most of which was con-
tributed by The beneficiaries of the Nc
Kinley robber tariff tax. 1t calls upon
Democrats to be on guard, TO watch the
schemers and have them arrested for
violation of law and cites the following
facts:
The tariff tax robbers are being daily
squeezed both in Ohio and Pennsyl-

squad has been through Cleveland de.
manding large assessments, which are
being paid. The largest corruption
fund ever placed in any State In this
country Is Eow at the service OF the

the growing discomfort In their own

legs interest to corrupt voters, win be

II Not Fatal Injuries.
A Limaville special says: An unfortu-
nate and serious runaway occurred Satur-
day about noon, near the residence OF Ja-
cob Drayer, on the county line road near
here. Joel White, who is badly crippled
and Is, in fact, almost in a helpless condi-
ton at best, came near losing his life by
his horse soaring at threshing machine.
1t seems Mr.. White was following in the
rear and his horse became unmanageable
and as he drew near, the horse became al
most frantic. He began to rear and plunge
in an alarming manner when, in the twin
kle Of an eye, he darted TO the side of the
road against an embankment, suddenly
,overturning the wagon and throwing Mr..
White out upon his face. He had bar
rel of salt in his wagon, and 1t 10 suppos-
ed when he was thrown out, that the salt
struck him upon the face. MIR. Heberling
being near, hastened to the spot, only to

oozing from his mouth and nogtpils. He
was picked up and was 80 badly bruised
that 1t was difficult to determine the W orst.
A doctor was Immediately summoned and
examinas sion proved that his jaw was bro.
ken in two places, his eye disfigured and
his skull fractured. 1t is believed that he
is hurt internally and IL is feared that 1t
may prove fatal. Mr.. White is known in
this community as The Scissor Grinder.

Sea Fishing or the Cane

If you wish to make the best of your
time, and the breeze is not too strong you
can let go drift lines from the stern on the
chance of Cape mackerel, a finer specimen
than that caught off the Devonshire coast
fat and smooth and about eighteen inches
long The bait used is very often bit OF
dried sharks skin, o., when you have
caught a fish, bit OF mackerel itself
sliced off above the tail. If you get among
a good shoal the tugs OF the lines are con-
slant.
But the chief fish of commerce in the
Cape is the ''snoek" (Thyrsites atun), a
long, hawklike looking fish, with sharp
dorsal fins. II is these that the fishermen
are chiefly occupied in catching Their
employers give them 1Itd. for each fish,
and those that are not sold in Cape Colony
are split and sailed and dried for exporta-
ton, chiefly to Mauritius. A single fisher
man can often earn % shillings to 30 shil-
lings day at snoek fishing. These snoek
have curious habits OF their own, as they
will disappear altogether during the
months Of June, July and August Dur
ing these-the winter months-they proba-
bly, go TO their spawning grounds off the
banks. The best time for catching them
is in May, and in that month there are
generally vessels bound for Mauritius and
the east loading up with the dried fish,
which are stacked in sheds close by

A somewhat singular outcome of the
necessities of certain conditions of cleo
trio traction has just made its appear
ance. In frosty weather the firm con-
tact between the trolley wheel and the
wire of an electric railroad is interfered
with seriously by the formation of coat
of ice on the wire, and the weight of the
wire is thus so increased as to initiate
against the safety of the overhead work.
To overcome this difficulty an ap-
paratus has been designed for greasing
the wire, and thus preventing the ad.
hesion of any considerable amount of
moisture. A frame is made to support
a pan. Inside the receptacle is wheel
or roller for taking up the grease and
spreading it Oh the conductor. This
grooved wheel is made of wood or hard
rubber, and is covered with thick felt,
so as to be perfectly adapted to carry up
and smear upon the wire the contents of
the pan. Where a semi-liquid substance
is used for coating the conductor an end
less belt or chain may be passed over the
wheel for the purpose of carrying the
grease.-Philadelph Record.
