Coy. HoCr'S Big Catch.

Gov. Hogg, of Texas, was recently
down on the gulf fishing. He relates
an incident to n Fort Worth Gazette
correspondent thus: II was sitting il
the boat one day." he said, lust inside
the entrance to the pass, when felt Q
nibblc. jerlSed the line gently, when
| knew had him. l began to haul in,
and felt the line grow heavier Then
began succession of savage rushes,
and all grew still as the breast when
the spirit hath flown. When the end of
the line came to the surface found a
tangle of fish l had first hooked a
snapper; the snapper had been seized
by terapin, which was unable to free
itself. The terrapin had been run
through by swordfish, which was
fastened by his long blade, and stin-
garee had wrapped himself around the
swordfish and stung him to death. l
suppose there must have been three
hundred pounds of meat on the hook. y
Asked if there was anyone else in the
boat, the governor replied that he was
alone.

Stricken by Lightning.

While a company of Prussian grcna
diers of the guard were digging ditch
as a portion of their drill in heavy
shower of rain recently stroke of
lightning felled half of them to the
ground. The lightning also struck all
the band, and others who were near the
captains horse, killing the latter on
the spot. One member of the band had
the crest of his helmet melted, the
back of his skull laid open, his clothes
and body on the right side singed, and
one of his boots torn from his foot and
hurled several yards away. A drum
mer, in addition to severe internal in
juries, was driven under the horse,
which fell upon him and nearly crushed
him to death. The trumpeter who was
holding the animal was severely in
jured in the leg. The captain was
struck to the ground and lay there I'M
conscious for a long time, and close by
were two non-commissioned officers,
who also remained for some time in

CALIFORNIA; COYOTE LAW.
Evil Results of Measure for the Benefit
of Sheep Owners.

Evil Results of Measure for the Benefit
of Sheep Owners.
California's coyote bounty law which
was passed last winter for the benefit
Of the sheep owners, and which went
into operation in May, is operating in
. manner that is filing the tax payers
and the fruit growers Of the state with
lismQv, says the New York Evening
Post. 1t provides that for each coyote
killed IS shall be paid ont of the state
treasury to the person presenting the
scalp to the clerk of the board of super
visors of each county. Although only
steven Of fifty-four counties in the state
have been heard from the claims for
bounty aggregated, July II, S10,S90. A
banking firm in Tulare county which
has not yet reported has notified the
state comptroller that it holds claims
for $4,000 Were all these claims
based on the scalps of coyotes killed in
California the case would not be so
scandalous. But it has been learned
that enterprising Californians are inn
porting scalps from Arizona, New Mex
leo and Lower California. A customs
inspector on the lookout for Chinese on
the Mexican frontier recently seized a
package of fifty coyote skins that the
owner was trying to smuggle into the
state. 1t is learned furthermore that
the bounty has called into existence a
now and profitable industry-that Of
breeding coyotes AS a female coyote
can produce three litters of seven pups
each year she is worth something like
800 to her owner. But this is not all
the evil of this ridiculous piece of legis-
lation. One of the most serious pests the
California fruit-grower has to contend
against is the rabbit, which is partic-
ularly fine tid-bit for hungry coyote.
Consequently the determination of the
coyote for the benefit of the sheep own
ers of half dozen counties will be fol-
lowed by such AN increase of rabbits
that the fruit interests will suffer Sc
riously. This, with thousands and
thousands of dollars that will be paid
out for bounties during the two years
! that the law has to run, has aroused
the press of the state, and there is q
universal demand that an end be put to
the evil at the earliest possible moment.

The Largest Locomotive.

The Baldwin locomotive works of
Philadelphia has just completed for the
freight service of the Erie railway the
largest compound locomotive in the
world. The weight of the engine is
$4,000 pounds, exclusive of the tender.
1t has three pairs of driving-wheels
sixty-two inches in diameter. The
weight on these wheels, which is the
measure Of the power of the locomotive,
is 100000 pounds. Its length is So feet,
and height 16 feet. 1t is expected that
this engine can be run at a saving OF
from 80 to 40 per cent. over the same
size single expansion engine. But
after all the Erie's new locomotive vii
not appear so big when the Baldwin
company has constructed for the same
company five new ones which are tc
weigh $4,000 pounds each.

A LlNeul5TIc PARROT.

Who Laughs at Singers.

lie Can Speak in Five Languages-A Bird
Who Laughs at Singers.
The parrot, according to the best au-
thorities on ornithology, belongs to TIC
family of scansorial birds, remarl5ab
for their beautiful colors, powerful bill
ileshy tongue and their power of iini
tating the human voice. According 70
others, who do not view them from ?
scientific standpoint, they are nothir,
more than a nuisance. But there are pa
rots and parrots, and, in whatever ca,
CORY one is disposed toplace them, the,
is no gainsaying the fact that the -
tainments of some of them are note
worthy, if not always praiseworthy.
Up in the French quarter just north
of Washington square, says the NCy
York Mail and Express, lives an oil
Frenchman, an exile of course, callc.
NJ. Felix. He is a gentleman of the CID
school, and is supposed to have seen
better, if not happier, days. For many
years he has instructed his fellow coun-
trymen and country women, too, for
that matter, through the medium of II
little circulating library over which he
presides with great dignity. He speaks
seven or eight languages. In time not
otherwise engaged he has instructed q
rarrot of which he is the possessor in
the rudiments of some of these Ian
cuages, and with an uncommon degree
Of success.
The other evening call was made at
the little circulating library. Felix's
al n1 nd hn
gratified to know that the fame of his
parrot was extending.
''Ah, yes, Pierre, 'es q wonderful bird.
not take dree, two, fl tousan dol
laires for him. Is it not sop
'Oui. QUIZ shrieked the parrot. Then
he shut up like steel trap and refused
to be friendly for some little time.
Folk took advantage of his silence to
cXtol his merits saying he knew words
in English, French, German, Italian
and Spanish.
''Of course, not vaire mooch, vous
conprenez MATS! e 'es not vaire well
just now"
AS Felix said this he winked slyly at
his visitors. The parrot ruffled up his
feathers at this and was extremely vol.
| ublc for the space of Il minute or so, in
which he remarked that his ''sante'
was tires bien." AS if to prove it he
hummcd few words of song of the
| boulevards and wound up with couple
Of bars of "The Marsellaise."
'How is that for high?" he irter
rogated, as he swung gayly to and frc
4 on his perch.
The antithesis to Felix's parrot is tc
be found in the possession of theat-
rical manager up town. He is the
owner of parrot, a truly beautiful bird
by the way, who, while he has never
been known to utter word in any Ian.
Tuage familiar to man, yet seems tc
4 possess a keen sense of humor. This
parrot is frequently present at operate
rchearsals, but it is when a new aspirant
for fame behind the footlights is
demonstrating his or her ability as
singer that this parrot comes out
trongly. When the singer is in the
most touching part of the music the
parrot will break into paroxysm Of
laughter, with great ''Ho! Ho! Ior
The sound is lifelike in the extreme
and the effect on the bewildered singer
is moro easily imagined than described

Stealing Clothing His Forte.

A little after o'clock yesterday after
noon stranger registered in the Tontine
hotel as S. A Watman of New Britain.
Not great while later he was seen leaving
with an overcoat or his arm, and later the
porter discovered that his overcoat was
missing. Complaint was made at head
quarters and Detective Reilly was put on
the case and the coat was found in a sec
ond hand clothing store on Court street,
above Orange. About o'clock the stran-
ger returned to the hotel and went up
stairs into the room of the night clerk,
Reuben Holmes. There he extracted q
coat and vest, valued by Holmes at $1S,
and left his own in their place. Subse-
quently he was arrested, and at headquar-
tiers gave his name as John Frank Smith
of Meriden, aged twenty-five years. This
is probably his correct name, as letters
with that address on them were found in
his pocket, one of which contained q
plaintive plea from his father to stop
drinking.

and jellies of all sorts. A specially was
made of articles suitable for Christmas
presents, and many heart will be glad
dened later on by the reception of one or
more of the articles sold yesterday
There were two committees in atten-
dance, both of which did much toward en-
Pertaining the guests. The chairmen of
these committees were Mrs. Tracy Peck
and Miss Lima Phipps.
The total receipts for the day aggregated
$500 in the exchange department.
During .he winter orders for articles
like those for sale yesterday will be re-

A Fearful Fall Down a SHAFT of the
Anaconda Mfne-The Accident Due
to an Overstrained Rope.
BUTTE CRY, Mont, Nov. 4.-The worst
mining accident of the year took place at
the Anaconda mine this morning. -
Midnight, the time to shift the gangs of
men, had come, and a cageful of miners re-
turning from work stepped out into the
open air. Their places were at once taken
by nineteen men. who were to take up the
work they had just left, and the cage was
started toward the depths below. The
rope had been unwound but q couple of
times from the slowly revolving windlass,
when there was sudden snap, q cry of
horror from the shaft in which the cage
had only moment before disappeared.
The rope had broken, and the cage with
the nineteen men was precipitated to the
bottom of the mine.
1t was some little time before any assist
ance could be sent them. The shaft down
which they had plunged was useless. and
other ways of getting at the place where
they had fallen were roundabout. Fortu-
nately q number of miners who were
through work and waiting to be relieved
were at the bottom of the shaft waiting
for the cage to take them out. Amidst
them, narrowly missing some, the cage
dashed. 1t broke, and before their eyes
were the mangled bodies of the compan-
ions whom they were awaiting, OF the
nineteen men seventeen were dead, their
forms crushed out of all semblance to hu-
man beings, while the two were yet breath
ing had no hopes of recovery.
The Anaconda mine is the biggest in
this territory. 1t employs 400 men, and

Dies MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 4.-Thirty four
counties complete in Iowa, out of total
of ninety-nine in the state, give Boies,
DEM, for governor, plurality over
Wheeler, rep, of 5000. The same coun-
ties in 1889 gave Boies plurality in 1889
of 5,248, which would indicate that the
claim of the democratic committee that the
state would give Boies plurality of from
5000 to 10000 will be sustained by the
returns when all are in. The republican
gains in the country are not as large as
first indications promised. Van Houten,
rep, for lieutenant governor, however, is
running ahead of his ticket and the
meagre returns now in encourage the
republicans to believe that he may win.
1t is believed there will be tie in the SEN
ate and republican majority of four in
the house. The republicans, however,
claim a majority in both houses. The
democrats have elected the railroad COM
missioner beyond doubt. Chairman Mack
of the republicans this evening conceded
Boies' election by 5000 plurality, but
claims the election of the balance Of the
republican ticket, except state railroad
commissioner. He also claims a republi-
can majority in both houses Chairman
Fullen of the democratic committee claims
all the state officers, but comedies the
