FIGHTING A SWORDFIsH.
Battle Between a Chicago Police
Officer and a Marine Anarchist.


Officer and a Marine Anarchist.
A correspondent of the Boston Globe
says that Capt. A. w. Hathaway, expo
lice inspector of the North side. Chicago,
came near losing his life in an encounter
with a swordfish measuring nineteen
feet in length While visiting Block
Island for: the first time IN thirty years,
Capt Hathaway found bass and blue
fishing too tame. Chris Champion, SELL
ator from Block Island, and who man
ages the Hygeia hotel at that famous re-
sort, Ventured to remark that school
of swordfish would be as dangerous
company as gang of anarchists, and as
a party of distinguished hotel guests,
among whom were five eX-governorS and
three sitting supreme court Judges from
the West, was going out SWordhshIng
the following day, the jovial senator in
vited the Chicago captain to make one
of the party.
The offer was accepted, and they were
not out two hours before couple of
monsters were sighted. Capt. Hathaway,
who is fine shot. took aim with Win
chester rife and knocked a chip out of
the sword. The fish seemed stunned
and appeared to be turning up its toes,
so to speak. Without waiting for de-
velOpmentS he plunged into the sea and
swan towards his game, which. recover
ing from the StaggerS, turned on the
captain and prepared to impale him.
With a rush it made for him, the point
of its sword aimed full at his breast; he
dived, and the sword, seven feet long,
plunged above him. Returning to the
attack. the fish got below to deliver an
upward thrust, but in this it miscalcu-
lated its aim and the sharp point was
driven deep into the bottom OF boat
which had put out to his rescue.
A man with whale bomb hurled the
shaft with unerring aim into the body
of the monster, and the explosion which
followed settled the fiSh'S hash.
Capt. Hathaway thinks he would
rather face a score of Spies. Parsons,
Engei 81 Co. than one small swOrd-hsh.
He carries home that sword as SOU
venir. The fish weighed nearly 1000

FUN WITH CHICKENS.

Fourth street saIoonkeeper who had been
chicken hunting in South Dakota last week
and brought home-a handful of fax and

prairie Chicken Lunch Tonight" and
quietly slipped ii into the window while the
proprietor was shaking game of dice. About
five minutes after two burly colOred gentle
men walked in, and. while one called for the
drinks the other walked to the lunch counter,
raised the lid 10 what he supposed was
splendid chicken lunch, but Immediately
turned to his companion with an expression
of disgust, exclaiming: ''Say, chile, dars
uot'fn' heah 'eept bull beef" There came
pretty near being row in that Saloon but
the children of color got out before the pro-
prietor could get aronnd the end of the bar.
For nearly an hour all kinds of people came
in inouiring for chicken lunch, and had the
Joker not explained about this time that there
was card in the window inviting people in,
there might have been work for the patrol
wagon
Some people go chicken hunting and have
an idea they can kill every hen that comes in

they really do accomplish when they get
there is aptly illustrated by the following IN
cident, and shows that presence OF mind IS
required even OIL the battlefield where eoFeys
rise and fall. Two Bills-Bill Symonds and
Bill Sands-were tramping through Dakota
flax fields when suddenly brace of chickens
fluttered up before them. Bill Sands ex-
hausted his gun without stopping their on
ward flight, and threw It down in disgust,
leaving the slaughter for Bill symonds, but
was almost paralyzed when the latter said:
"Here. Bill, take my gum" Bill took the
gun. killed the game. but up to date has not
ceased wondering why man will go from
st. Paul to the fax fields of Dakota, and. at
the sight of game, pass his breech-ioader to
companion, for that kind of a pass is similar
to pass in the game of poker-when you

AGAINST THE NEGRO.

Machinists Close the Door Against the Col
ored Man = Southern Delegates Too
strong-A General Demand for Nine
Hours to Be Made Next Year.
The Southern brigadiers in the Machinists'
Convention carried the day yesterday by
excluding the negroes from the association
with vote of SO to 29. When the delegates
and had their pictures taken, they went back
to tho hall. and 10 short time, after lively
discussion, disposed of the coldred man
by shutting the doors against him. The
Southern representatives are strong element
in the convention. and they had plenty OF
sympathizers among their Northern brethren.
With the bare fact of the vote furnished by the
Press Committee, it could not be learned IL
there are many colored machinists in the
country or not. From general observation they
appear to be rare in Pittsburg. though there is
no reason why colored men should not make
good mechanics.
A resolution was introduced that on May 2
1892, the machnists of the country through
their organization make general demand for
nine hours per day. 1t was referred to q CON-
mittee but the feeling is common thar the
resolution will be passed. The local machinists
are the only ones in the United States who
work nine hours daily. They made their de-
mand last year and got it; Their brethren at
the same good fortune, and If
they are persistent they probably
will. The name of the organization was
changed to the International Association
Roberts rules of order were adopted. Methods
were discussed TO compel apprentices to serve
the full term OF four years before becoming
full-fedged workmen. The delegates have re-
ceived Invitations from numerous manufac-
turers to visit their works. They will take in
the Westlngh ouse machine shops at Wilmerd-
ing tomorrow afternoon.

A Word About the Books in the Late Fires.

a
Recently there have been some terrific
fires in this city, in which whole blocks of
buildings have been RACED to the ground,
nothing lett standing but the debris of fallen
walls and the Barnes safes. In looking over
these ruins where amillion of dollars worth
of property or more has been destroyed, few
people can imagine what the extent
of the losses would have been had it
not been for the valuable Offices Of good
fire-proof safe.
Take as an illustration the large Liberty
street fire, that is still fresh in our memory.
In that fire there were u Barnes safes, and
after the intense heat had subsided and the
safes were opened their contents were found
to be in perfect condition.
On the night of March 12, which is still
more vivid in our. minds, the business por-
ton of our city was again visited bv the re-
sistless element and over one-half million
dollars worth of property was swept away
Bank building ana several others.
In that fire there were about
% Barnes safes, some of them
weighing 1000 pounds and falling from the
top floors to the cellars. When these safes
were opened the contents in each instance
were found in a state of per ect preservation.
And now again we are visited by the ruth
less DESTROYER, this time in Seventh street,
where no less than 500, 900 worth of property
has been laid in ruins. In that fire, as in
the previous ones, are many Barnes safes.
which owing to the burning ruins cannot
vet be gotten at. The owners, however, can
feel confident that the contents of their safes
will be all o. K, and as soon as the safes
can be taken out the public shall know the
results.
One word Of advice-f you are in
business and have valuable papers and
books, see that you have them in Barnes
safe and your mind will then be at ease. Tor
you can feel assured that they will be pre-
served intact in case of fire.
