BATTLE IN MID AIR.

How Three Sailors Captur ed an
Eagle on a Topsai Yard.
When thetank steamship Christine,
sixteen days out from Copenhagen,
was 100 miles southeast OF Nantuck-
ct shoals, an immense eagle alighted
on tho foretopsail yard. The Chris
tine arrived recently with the eagle q
captive aboard, says the New York
Advertiser.
When the bird alighted Carl Olsen,
81 sailor, climbed up to the mainyard
and grabbed n of the birds legs.
George Anderson and Christian Peter
sen, able seamen, followed Olsen,
Petersen carrying n bag. AS the eagle
attempted to pick out Olsen's eyes
Petersen and Andersen crept along
the t.. spar and threw the bag over
the eagles head, but not before q des-
perate battle in midair was fought.
The eagle drove its bill twice into
Andersen's arm and scratched Peter
sen savagely. A large cage vas hast
lily constructed and in it his majesty
was placed. The bird measures 8 feet
from tip to tip andhas talons 6 inches
long. The eagle will be presented to
the Royal Swedish institute.

Philadelphia, Oct. 31.-Polnt Breeze was
visited again by fire this morning and the
wharves and shipping docks were damaged
to the extent of nearly $4,000 The iron
bark Felix, Capt. Itaines, which was lying
at the wharf awaiting a load of refined oil,
was sunk, and the bark Ellen G. Loaded
with cased oil, was badly damaged. A
lighter bark, loaded with cases of oil, was
burned to the waters edge; Charles House
mans lime barge was destroyed, 500 feet
of wharf property was destroyed, a house
and barn belonging to the city were wiped
out and other property was destroyed or
damaged. The fire burned stubbornly all
day, and it was not until late this evening
that 1t had been extinguished. Shortly after
4 O'Clock this morning the firemen at the
pumping station were startled by the sound
Of an explosion. A moment later the
flames shot up from the river and a pail
Of dense black smoke began to gather over
the harbor. The explosion heard was caused
by the bursting Of a pipe connecting the
Philadelphia & Atlantic oil retineries, locat-
ed on the east side of the gas works. The
oil pipes are buried under the roadway
above the wharves. The escaping oil worked

Is very small. The worlds reserve supply

An Important Deal Contaminated.
Chicago, Special, Oct. 29.-Some highly
interesting changes in tho management and
control Of the Minneapolis & st. Louis are
about to be contaminated. The road ts
now and has been for several years in the
hands of q receiver. So successfully has
Receiver Trnesdale handled this property
that there is a large surplus in the treasury
and the attention of Eastern capitalists has
been called to the road, which was formerly
in he hands of the Rock Island, and the
people Interested in the latter, n it has
passed into the hands of nm Eastern synd-
cate, headed by the banking firm Of Au-
gust Belmont & Co. of New York, which
represents the Rothschilds in this country.
Most of the Rock Island people who were
dire :ttrs Of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
have resigned and their places have been
fllet. with men connected with the August
Belmont syndicate.
The road will soon be foreclosed, n 1t Is
understood that the Belmont syndicate will
bid it in and assume control. n that the
new owners as soon as they gain possession
will enter into IN alliance with the Great
Northern, and 1t is quite probable that the
latter will manage it's affairs. The terminal
facilities of the Minneapolis & st. Louis are
the best in Minneapolis, n these are badly
needed by the Great Northern. The Mime
apolis & st. Louis now forms the Mtnneap-
oils and st. Paul end Of the Rock lsland's
'.Albert Lea" route, and IL the new manage
ment should be unfriendly to the Rock
Island it could cut it nut Of the st. paul
business. It is understood. however, tnat
the new owners are friendly to the ROCK
Island. and stand ready to enter into 2 q n rev
the Minneapolis & st. Louis as Its Minneap'
