Leaves Her for a Third.
a most fragrant case of bigamy, for the
offense was triple, is being revealed to
public view through the medium of the law.
Charles Crimson, manager of sewing
machine company doing business in both
Europe and America, has been arraigHed
for the offense.
Iu 1851 he married at Loughborough, in
Leieestershire, England, and lived there for
nineteen years with his first wife, by whom
he had five children. In 1870 he went to
America, presumably on business, leaving
his wife and family in England to await his
return. The deserted wife died in 1884, but
not before the faithlPss one had wooed and
won another bride in the person of Miss
Mary Wilson, fair American, of Trenton,
n. j., whom he married on February 10, 1872
He lived in the United States for nearly
twenty years and then returned to England
with his second wife, whom he ruthlesSly
deserted in order to marry third. Mary
Wilson testified that the prisoner told her,
previous to their marriage, that his first
wife had been divorced from him, upon
which statement she consented to marry
and live with him in Brooklyn, New Bruins
wick and other places in innocent conf
dence ard affection. She then accompanied
him TO Europe, only to be deserted in her
turn for a younger and fairer bride. This
was too much for her American spirit and
she sought redress for her wrongs at the
hands of the cOurt-Pittsburg Press.

Miraculous Escape of Sailor From the
Jaws of Whale.

Miraculous Escape of Sailor From the
Jaws of Whale.
As most PEG lie know, the whale is not a
savage animal, and any small craft is rea-
sonably safe among school OF these levi
athans. provided they are not moested.
Occasionally, however, a whale goes on a
rampage, and then even fair-sized vessels
have to get out of the way The coasting
schooner Cecilia had stirring encounter
with an immense hump-back whale off the
coast OF Nova Scotia recently, says the New
York Ledger. When the monster, which
the captain declares was seventy feet long.
first made its appearance, the crew paid no
attention to it, but when it swan alongside
the schooner and gave il an occasional
bump, the frightened sailors held a consul
tation. The only weapon on board was a
32-caliber revolver, and the captain fired
one shot from this at the whale,
aiming at what he thought to be a
vulnerable part. But the only effect
of the bullet was to further irritate the
whale, and 1t hit the schooner several slams
with its tail that made the masts shake.
Then it began to dive under the schooner
from side to side, keeping the sailors in per
petual terror for fear he would rise directly
under the vessel and turn her keel upper-
most. There was no use trying to escape
by flight as the whale tackled every time
the schooner did, and was twice as swift. and
they did not dare to use the revolver again
So the schooner sailed on for two DAVIS and
nights with tho unweicome visitor frisking
around her and not man dared close his
eyes. But the great animal was either mer
ciful or ignorant OF its strength. AT anv
rate. it finally dropped astern after giving
the Cecilia two terrible whacks that nearly
capszed her.
Another whale story, with more of the
spice of danger. is told of an American
sailor named Leonard who was one OF the
crew Of the ship mystery, whaler in the
North Pacific. One day he was Stationed
in the bow OF whale-boat, long distance
from the ship, IN hunt OF large whale. Our
hero was harpooner, and when within

to regain the boat In. safety, but Leonard
himself was caught by the whale between
its jaws, his position being inside the mon

one OF his arms. If it had been q shark.
Leonard would have instantly been swal-

Fisbermen,s Rad Lnck.

Salmon are still scarce in this market, and
fish dealer, who took run down to As
t0ria. hoping to secure supply from some
canneTy man on the river, had hard time
to get any. The canneries are only getting
enough fish to keep their establishments
running about three hours per day, and as
the Cinnamon employed work by the case,
they object 10 any of the fish caught being
sold, aud employers think 1t their duty to
keep their canneries running as long as pos
sible. The stormy weather has interfered
with fishing, the bay being so rough that
it was dangerous to go out. Two boats
were upset in front of the city. The boats
come in with four or five fish as general
thing, but some get none. One boat yester-
day morning brought in thirty, and another
twenty. The traps are doing but little, and
one trap was buried under the sand shifted
by the heavy seas. A good many shad are
being caught in some traps. and 1t is said
that in some cases they are thrown out, the
trap men caring only Tor salmon. This is
too bad, if true The traps should not be
made so as to hold the snad.
