Northwest Fisheries.

To preserve the salmon industry of the
northwest coast is deemed particularly
important because it is the only fishery
oil North Pacific waters that is ever likely
to be of much commercial value. That
vast expansc of ocean, inclusive of Bering
Sea, is full of cod and halibut, but they
are not found punched in great schools
on banks as off the New England shore,
so that vessels do not find it easy to get
cargoes. Furthermore, neither of these
species is equal to those of the Atlantic
in point of weight or quality. The cod
are razor backed, resembling the Labra
dor catch which sells as third rate at
Gloucester, and both they and the half
but are commonly infested by minute
parasitic worms. When the fish are
cooked fresh, they look all right, but,
after they are dried for market, the flesh
is so filled with black dots, each of which
is worm, as to make it look gray in
stead of white. People who go to market
are usually not aware Of these black dots,
but the superior quality of Atlantic cod
and halibut is recognized in San Fran
cisco by higher prices asked and paid.
The parasites referred to lay in the water
their eggs, which are swallowed by the
fish, the worms hatched from them bor-
ing through the intestines into all parts
of the meat. Boston Transcript.

the circus hands and one OF the officers were
fatally hurt.
A large crowd assembled, and threats OF
lynching the circus men IN a body were
made. The wrath OF the crowd was nnaiiy
appeased when twelve o. the circus hands

FATAL FIRE DAMP.

Shaken by Terrible Explosion.

The York Farm penny Colliery
Shaken by Terrible Explosion.
There was terrible explosion of gas at
the York Farm Penny colliery in No.
breast of the West Salem gangway, few
mornings ago, killing sixteen men and badly
injuring five others.
Not one of the men working in the vicinity
survived to tell the tale of the disaster, ex-
cepting Llewellyn, the man who first noticed
the presence of gas and the unusual running
of coal. and who. by strictly complying
with coliery rules, had gone to inform the
fire boss of these unusual undertakings.
The first intimation that those working on
the surface had OF the explosion IN the nina
was dull rumbling and shaking of the
earth. followed By cloud of dust which
forced itself out of the fan house located on
the hillside nearest Yorkville. The outside
workmen collected about the mouth OF the
slope and anxiously awaited the news from
the inside.
A few minutes after the explosion a car
containing most of the men who had es-
caped serious injury was hoisted to the sur.
face.
Boss locke soon organized rescuing forces
and the search for those who had been in
iured was begun. In fifteen minutes the car
was again hoisted to the surface, containing
ali the injured meE who could be found at
that time The others were reported buried
beneath heap of debris, and it was not then
known how soon their bodies could be re-
moved.
The coliery near the mouth of the slope
was soon crowded with people. Mothers,
wives and brothers with fearful faces hur-
ried there. inquiring for tidings OF the
disaster and the fate of relatives. Some
were nearly frantic with grief and would
have run down the slope had not the watch
men held them back.
surface about one o'clock. They were thoss
of William Weyman, Thomas Jones, George
Greiss, Hermann Werner and Anthony Put
lavish. They were wrapped from head to
foot in heavy tar cloth and the name of
each man was written across his shroud in
chalk The bodies were carried to the Oil
house and laid upon the benches. 1t was
not until the bodies of the five dead miners
had been recovered tnat there could be any,
thing learned as to the cause of the explosion.
The West Salem gangway, in which the
men were working, is new one and ha
been driven about sixty yards wnen the ex-
plosion came. Almost every man made
rush for the foot of the slope. 1t was all
over in a moment. Those who had not the
presence of mind TO throw themselves on the
ground were caught in the burning gas as it
rushed onward. receiving injuries more or
less severe.
When the rescuing force reached the gang
way after the explosion they found men
stretched lifeless upon the floor of the, gang
way and others writhing in fearful agony.
Most OF the timbering had been torn loose,
letting down the loose rock and dirt in sev<
eral places, almost blocking the gangway.

As Saved from Arctic Terrors.

PHILADELPHIA, November 24.-The
GOODNESS existing between Lieutenant
Peary aud Professor Heilprin, leader of
the Peary relief expedition, has at last
resulted in an open rupture between the
two scientists. The strained relations
were made public by Peary's action in
securing the influence of the Academy of
Natural Sciences to pr cure his three
years. leave of absence instead of inform
ing Heilprin of his steps in the matter.
He had almost concluded negotiations
through General Wistar, president of the
academy, with the Navy Department,
when Heilprin became aware of what
was going ON. The rupture is the result
of Heilprin assuming that he rescued
the Peary party from certain death.
Peary claims he could have made his
way back to civilization without assist

tinctly states he will not have a party
sent to rescue him.
