at New York on Thursday, had on
board Nova Scotian eagle which light
ed on one OF the vessels yards about
one hundred miles southeast of Nam
tucket Shoals. The bird measures
nearly nine feet from tip to &. # its
wings and is so powerful that although

Its talons are fully six inches in length.
During the struggle with the men the
bird drove its bill through the heavy

wing that dazed the seaman and near

FROM Observation-Disclosures from
Admiral Walker to the Navy Depart
ment confirms reported victory of Gen.
Crespo in Venezuela, and announces
that the present government has fallen
and that Gen. Crespo will soon be at
the head of the new government. The
dispatch of Admiral Walker said in
substance:
'Revolutionists successful. Crespo
victorious. President and ministry have
abandoned Venezuela. Crespo takes
possession of Caracas to-day"
From this dispatch it will be seen
that the next step will be the announce
ment of new government for Ven
ezuela, with Con. Crespo at the head OF
affairs. Admiral Walker has two
men-ofwar in Venezuelan waters, sent
there to protect American interests in
the event trouble should mark the
change of governing forces of Nenelu

Americans.

THE HOMESTEAD strikers early yes
terday morning attempted to blow up
a house in which thirty-seven non
union men were sleeping. Fortunately
the dynamite bomb that was used ex-
pended its force downwards, so, though
the building was considerably damaged,
none of its occupants was hurt. With
the difference between Mr. Carnegie
and his striking employees the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania has nothing to

No MATTER how New York may go,
and the fact cannot be forgotten that
those who nominated Mr.. Cleveland
said he could be elected without the
vote of that State, no State in the
South can afford to break away now
from her southern sisterhood. New
York is an empire within herself, and
can therefore take care of herself with
or without Force bill, and besides, she
is not bothered with negroes; but 1t Is
vastly different with any southern State
for should the democrats lose control OF
any such State, reconstruction acts
would be reproduced therein, with all

In chronic cases of neuralgia. rheu,

cause is certain acid which poisons
the blood, Salvation Oil should be used
in connection with the alkaline treat

which dissolyes and neutralizes the
poison. The liniment has the most
soothing effect in healing the infama
ton and relieving the pain.

SHARED THE BED WITH RATLLEsSAKE
One night last week Mrs. John Hayes a
widow, of Almo, Mich, slept at new farm
she is breaking in five miles from there. The
house is NOT completed When she went to
bed she left light burning in her room. Just
as she was comfortably settled on her pillow
she looked up and saw an enormous rattle
snake about to drop from rafter directly
over her. The snake fell on her breast, and,
gliding to one side of the bed, colled up as II
Intended to spend the night there. Mrs
HAYES had strength of mind sufficient to re-
frain from screaming or moving muscle,
even when the snake fell upon her, and she
remained motionless in her bed for two hours
while her unpleasant visitor remained. Then
the rattlesnakc gided from the bed, and Mrs
Hayes went into h.. sterical screaming that
aroused all the house.

mittee was spent in the purchase OF

DEATH IN A Cats BREATH.-The
question whether Miss Catherine Dono-
hue. of Brooklyn, was killed by cat
is now agitating Coroner Lindsay.
The woman had not been seen since
last Friday, and Wednesday the owner
of the house forcibly entered the build
ing. Miss Donohue's room was locked,
but looking through the transom he saw
her lying on her back on the bed
while on her chest was sitting large
black cat. When the door was burst
omen the animal disappeared through
one of the open windows. 1t was found
that Miss Donohue had been dead for
some time, and many believe that her
death was caused by the cat sucking
away her breath. A similar case is
said to have occurred in Williamsburg
some time ago, when child was found
dead with a cat on its chest.

the value oftin produced in tn country
up to the end of the last fiscal year was
1915 ,2S4, the tax on imported tin up to
that time amounted to st, 100000. This
is an object lesson of the effect of the
Mckinley bill. AS the rich do not use
tin, the tax referred to is paid almost
entirely by the poor people ofthc conn
try. They can stop this if they please
by their votes next month. But if they
can stand the racket, certainly their few
rich neighbors can.

The Wreck of the West Indian.

SAN Francisco, April 5.-George Mooney,
one of the firemen of the Inflated steamer
West Indian, arrived on the steamer San
Juan today. He says that the West In
dian was not wrecked by a tidal wave or
earthquake. but was sunk by striking a
sunken rock while being hoved closer in
shore at Acajutla. The vessel was LAYING
so far out that great difficulty was expert
enced in loading her, and Captain Scott
was requested TO move the ship closer to
the iron pier. The steamer got under way
about o'clock in the morning. and struck
reef before she had gone 100 yards. The
sea was perfectly smooth at the time, and
the crew had no difficulty in reaching
shore. After the vessel struck Captain
Scott put all hands to work and managed
to save nearly 1900 bags of coffee.
but nearly all of it was spoiled
with salt water. The steamer
soon after slid off the reef and is now
lying in deep water Mooney says Scott
Is one of the worst men he ever sailed
with. No sooner had the West Indian
left San Francisco than he began abusing
the crew, and the story published in the
newspapers on March 90 is true in every
respect. The boatswain and a stowaway
were beaten frequently by the captain and
mate. The passengers interfered, but the
answer they got was: mind your own
business; l am running this ship" When
the steamer reached San Jose de Guatemala
seven of the sailors and three of the fire.
men were in double irons, the captain
having charged them with mutiny. The
British consul investigated and at once
ordered the men released, and they were
paid off the next day. The consul told the
crew that if they preferred TO stay by the
vessel he would take Captain Scott out of
the ship and place another man in charge.
but the men preferred TO leave her.
Captain Scott paid all the expenses of the
investigation, and gave Bailantyne 500
rather than go To trial.
