4 BUch Hunters Adventure.

Martin Boland. Of North Lyme. had
an exciting experience while duck shoot
ing Monday. anl thanks his lucky stars
every morning for the fact that he. is
still in the land Of the living He had
been about the mouth of Lords cove
nearly all the day and had met with fair
success. and had loaded his decoys into
his small duck boat, intending to start
home Just then he heard the loud
.'honk' of wild geese. and a moment
later saw a flock of some twenty of these
waterfowl settle in the river about half
way from shore to shore.
He resolved to have one of these geese
on his string. AID attempted to scull
near enough to get q shot. He kept his
eyes on the birds, ard consequently did
not see II huge cake of ice that was bear
ing down upon his craft. He realized it.,
though. when mass ground up against
the boat, overturning it and throwing
him into the chilly water. His gun, a
Colts breechloader. fell from his hand
and went to the bottom of the river, and
is likely to remain there. Boland had a
hard fight. and when. after a desperate
effort he succeeded in pulling himself
upon the ice. he fell exhausted.
His danger was not past by any means,
as he had no means of gaining the shore,
and it was with heart full of anxiety
that he saw the distance between his
ice raft and shore rapidly diminish, un-
til seized by an eddy it whirled into the
shoal water and he was safe.-Hartford

A Tale of Summer DAYS.

A tale of roses and roguery is waited
from the last midsummer days. 1t was
at seaside resort, and a young man,
veritable Prince Charming, before whom
all women go down and who cannot
help "practicing" when he is near
pretty girl, was at his usual occupation
devoted to several of them at once.
He counted. in fact, this time four vic
Tins to his attractions. AS two, how
ever. were at the hotel on the beach and
the other pair in separate cottages in
different directions, he had managed to
make all happy without any clashing.
Just before the season closed, however,
the fair cottagers went with their par
ents to pass few days at the hotel en-
route to their city homes. Four sweet
hearts under one roof were too much for
even this clever campaigner. He con-
cluded that the situation was too com
pEcated for him, and a prompt departure
was arranged for. The evening he left
he managed to see each girl separately
and to murmur in her ear tender tale
of love. He would take no decided an
swer then. but if his affection was re-
turned he bet~~ad her to wear at break
fast the nc ming q red rose which
he gently I. upon her. The last in
terview too, place about II p. M, and
the midnight train bore the young scamp
to New York
At the first meal on the following day
four young women appeared in the din
ing room with red roses thrust in their
belts. The gay cavalier not presenting
himself the girls after time began to
compare notes. and all that worries those
deceived damsels is to know whether
their joint lover had any means to dis
cover how many Of his roses We're worn
at the breakfast table-Her Point Of
View in New York Times.

Queer Electrical s1ishap.

A queer accident befell Portland
woman last week. An electric light
wire had sagged to the tianed roof of
her house. and the current was conduct
ed by the water conductor on the out
side of the house to a trap in the cellar,
thence by the waste pipe to a washstand
on the second floor. thence by the water
pipe to the street, so that when the lady
put her hand on the faucet of the water
pipe she couldn't, let so. But luckily
the wind was blowing. and. as the wires
wayed. the water pipe and its adjuncts
We're electrified with but an intermittent
current. SO the lady was liberated after
a few minutes imprisonment and con-
siderable suffering ng-Lewiston Journal

The CaiIrOad Must Paw,

A verdict for $1,000 damages was rem
dered in the court of common pleas
against the Western Maryland Railroad
company and in favor of Mrs. Mary A.
Herold. The accident for which dam
ages were claimed occurred on Sept II,
1885, at the Wilson Sanitarium grounds.
Mrs. He7old had taken q child to the
sanitariun to spend the day, and in the
evening with others boarded the car,
which had been left Oh switch. Some
one, presumably a child. released the
brake, and the car started down small
incline toward the main track. A panic
ensued among the passengers, and Mrs.
Herold, who was then C3 years DID,
jumped to the ground, breaking her
right shoulder blade and left leg. The
verdict was for the full amount claimed

railroad, gave notice that he would ap-
ply for new trial.-Daltinore Sun.

Arkwricht's Old nIiu Burned.

A calamity has fallen upon Cromford.
The historic old cotton MILL where Ark
wright first set up his cotton spinning
machinery, caught fire, and. though six
fire engines played upon it, nothing
could be saved. A large portion of the
mill has long been standing empty, as
the motive power (water) was made

Charles Hill, of Bridge House, Crom-
ford, has used one portion of it for fin
ishing and storing the goods made at

Dir. Depeyy in Demand.

There are few men in public life more
scrupulous in keeping appointments than
Ch.uncey N. Depew. That much court
ed gentleman, as a general thing, is un-
able to accept one-third of the invita-
tions that he receives, but after he has
accepted an invitation to attend meet
ing, banquet or ball nothing but sick
ness will prevent his keeping the engage
nent. Occasionally he finds himself
booked" for two Or three engagements
on the same evening, and he manages to
get around on time and make a pleasant
impression at each place. A few nights
ago lie had two dinners and private re-
ception on his hands.
One dinner was at the Union League
club and the other at Delmonico's. Mr.
Depew made the principal speech at
each. One evening he went to Yonkers
and delivered al Grafton on the occasion
of the opening of a new building. He
came back to this city, and reached Del
monicos in time to take a prominent
part in the Patriarchs' first ball of the
season. Doubtless the fact that Mr.. De-
pew never allows himself to fret about
anything explains how he can fill two or
three important engagements in an even
ing. and appear on each occasion fresh,
calm and smiling New York Times.

Electrical Lectures.

1t was recently suggested that electric

desired to become familiar with electric
al subjects. but who We're fully occu-

ton of this idea, and its president, DIR.
Seth Low. states that it proposes to have
a course of evening lectures, illustrated
By experiments, on the practical appli-

flvoring the idea of night schools in
electricity, under certain conditions, is
of opinion that, in some cases where
they are practicable, a course of evening
lectures can be given with very great
benefit. t.-New York Commercial Adver-

Count Herbert Bismarck, after spend
ing FIVE weeks with different friends in
England. has arrived in Paris. He has
come chiefly in search of distractions" J"
which was also his object north of the
channel. Whether the search has been
so far successful is more than doubtful.
as he is looking a sad and depressed
man, wearing the appearance of one
from whom the tide has flowed. An old
friend with whom he had been convers-
ing last evening was heard to remark
after he went away that he was not up
to date. and seemed hardly to take in
what is going on in any part of Europe,
or what has gone on since he dropped
out OF politics.
In this connection the person | quote
observed: How wonderfully soon a
politician who is not great i'll himself,
like Mr.. Gladstone, loses touch with the
political world when obliged to retire
therefrom.' Prince Bismarck is said by
his son to bear up well against the

Electrical Reporting.

Electric Power describes IL new svs-
TEN Of reporting baseball and other
games by means Of an ingenious cleo
trical apparatus. The special object of
the apparatus is to enable full report
of games to be made in sight of large
number OF people and at the same time
TO dispense with oae or more of the
assistants ROW required in reporting
.snch games. This device is intended
not only to Indicate the progress of dis
tant games, but actually to be used at
the opposite end of the ball field from
the grand stand, in order to enlighten
the spectators ON many points on which
they are liable to be momentarily in
doubt Spectators coming i'll late are
often unable to ascertain the number of
innings played, the striker at the bat,
the number of balls and strikes called.
etc, and even those already on the
ground sometimes find it difficult to de-
terInine whether the umpire has called
a strike or ball. All these weighty
issues, upon which the baseball enthusi-
asst expends such intense solicitude, can
now be clearly and reliably recorded
and all anxiety and uncertainty can be
removed by a glance at the exhibition
board placed in sight of the spectators,

controlled and operated by an expert
