A FIGHT WITH WILD DUCKS.
sailors Have n Desperate Battle with
Birds Blown Out to Sea-.


Capt. William 7. Bernard and the
steam tug Plymouth arrived from Bos-
ton at Philadelphia a few days ago with
three barges In tow, after n of the
toughest passages ever made and
than the elements to contend with dur
ing the trip, having been attacked in
the Vineyard sound, during the terrific
hurricane Of February 10, by .
tremendous flock of wild ducks
that had been carried from the land by
the wind. They fought desperately
against the side of the tugs house and
powerful electric ligh: on the mast
head, which was the object that fl rst
attracted them. Mate Willard went on
deck and was knocked fiat by one of
The Infatuated birds, which few directly
at him, striking him on the breast. To
substantiate this strange story told to o
Press reporter Capt. Bernardlsaved
twelve of the birds hat fell exhausted
from their struggles IN the decks and
they are now at his home. The Plym-
outh, after passing Chatham just before
shutdown on February 10, experienced
heavy rains. Soon the wind veered to
the northwest and blew a hurricane ac-
companied by binding now squalls.
At nine o'clock at night Capt. Bernard
and Mate Willard were both in the
pilot house, when a luttering noise was
heard to windward. With the aid Of
marine glasses they could discern q
huge dark formation moving directly
toward them, and soon a flock of fully
three hundred ducks made for the ves-
sci. They few directly toward the cleo
trio masthead light and in striking the
pole fell by the dozen to the deck. Some
of the sailors were terrified at first by
the fiuttering noise, but on being con-
vinced what IL was went on deck and
caught fully fifty of them and slowed
them away In the fore peak. The birds
were ravenously hungry, having been
carried miles from the land in the teeth
Of the heavy gale. They could not fly
back, such was the force of the wind,
and those that failed to light on tho
Plymouth were carried off TO sea and
no doubt persisted. For fully an hour
the birds kept things in n state Of ex-
element on board the tug, and Capt.
Bernard confessed Il was one of the
most remarkable experiences he had
ever seen or heard of in upward Of a
quarter of a century of sea life.

THE WINDMILL DISPLAY.

0nce we say: "Well, this 1irst day We'll
not 60 in any of these buildings, but sim
ply walk around and try to study the
outer effect of every building on the
grounds.
So with this new purpose in mind-it Is
always we'll to rave some definite purpose
or objective point when setting out ON a
ramble-we turn TO the right and pass the
buildings erected by South Dakota, Wash
ington, Oregon, Colorado and California,
and retrace our steps by Indiana, Wiscon-
sin and Michigan. Then passing to the
left of the Fifty-seventh street entrance
we have Nebraska, North Dakota and
Kansas on our left hand, and Georgia,
Tennessee, Minnesota, Arkansas and Ken
lucky on our right. Taking a good look
down the avenue of states, to save going
twice over the same ground, we behold
Utah, Nevada, Idaho, New Mexico and
North Carolina, and then turn through
the interesting ~thoroughfare to the south
past West Virginia, Virginia, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Missouri. Occupying the
whole south front of this square are the
magnificent buildings Of New York and
Pennsylvania. AS we turn north again
through the ext street Massachusetts,,
Vermont, Rhode Island and New Jersey
are on our right, Delaware and Maryland
on our left. Again reaching the northern
avenue we see New Mexico, Arizona, Wy
oming, Montana and Iowa on one side,
and Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine
and Vermont on the other.
Now we are somewhat tired aud sit
down near the shore of Lake Michigan TO
rest. The water, with its moving picture
of steamships and pleasure crafts, divides
our attention with the splendid view Of
the Art palace and its anpexes behind us.
IL is 10 o'clock, and after an hours work
we have seen nothing but the Art build
ing and the state structures. Yet when
we take the map Of the exposition and cal-
culate the distance travelled we find we
have walked precisely two and a quarter
miles. III this IL the scale on which this
exposition Is built, we sey to ourselves,
we shall have TO be up and doing.
Before US is another group of palaces,
more costly a.d more beautiful than the
state houses. These are the buildings
erected by the foreign nations, France,
Great Britain, Germany, Mexico and
Spain face the lake. Farther back, ranged
along winding avenues, and showing beau
tiful perspcctivss at every step, are Nor
way, Sweden, Ecuador, Guatemala, Brazil,
Costa Rica, Haytl, East India, Chill, Co
lombia and several others. Charming as
the views are here we rush on, for q walk

WORLDS FAIR, CHICAGO, May 10.
Let us see whas we can $50 in a days
through the exposition. 1t viii be q good
deal, measured by the number of buildings
and beauties and novelties; very little, com
pared with the sum total Of things there
are here to see. Assume that we enter the
enclosure at the F~ifty-seyenth street en-
trance, where the electric elevated road
has its terminus. Fora dime we may ride
oil about the grounds, but we choose to
walk, that we may the better see. 1t Is
early In the morning of a fne day, and
the bracing air of the lake makes US feel
strong enough to take In the entire expo
sition in a single day. So we brayely set
out on foot.
The first glance about inspires us to un-
wonted energy. In the foreground Is a
cluster Of beautiful buildings There are
90 many we cannot count them, and
haven't time to try, at any rate. Whence
came all these miniature palaces, looking
30 gay and fine in the sunlight, with their
great variety of facades and infinite types
of architecture showing wildly in the sun
lighti Some one tells US they are the
state buildings-the individual contribu-
tions of the states Of the Union to the
Worlds fair. Instantly our opinion of the
vastness of the United States, of the i'm
portance, wealth and grandeur of its con-
stituent commemorative, rises many de-
grees. So attractive are these state build
ings, and so numerous, that we scarcely
know which first to enter; and in the end
we conclude to enter none, but simply to
hasten along and glance at their exterior,
coming another day to behold their inter-
Tors. 1t Is well that we reached this de-
cision, for when we come to think that all
but one Of the forty-four states OF the
Union are represented, as well as several
of the territories, and that ten minutes
devoted to each building would consume
an entire day we perceive that IL will not
do to tarry. At every step we are tempted
TO linger, for some of these state struc-
lures are very handsome, but we press
resolutely on. The most we can do today
is to walk in front of all the buildings.
In fact, we soon alter our plans for tho
days jaunt. Just now we nave a glimpse
past the Art gallery and across the big
lagoon toward the southern end of the
grounds. The spectacle delights and
amazes. The sky is flled-not irregularly,
c~onfusingly, but with symmetrical and
effective arrangement with towers,
domes, spires, minarets, giant roofs, n
mental columns, lofty statuary. ~"The
glory and magnitude of the exposition
have dawned upon us. IL is so much
larger than we even thought it that at

In TROUBLE AGAIN.
JOHN II. SULLIVAN ARRESTED FOR
An AGGRlVATED ASA ULT.
His Victim Was n One-Armed Lawyer
Tho Salem Institute Meets and Elects
Onicers-scarIet Fever Raging.

BIDDEYoRD, Me-, May ia warrant
for assault and battery was issued from
the Biddeford court yesterday morning
and given to Deputy Sheriff Harmon to
serve on John L.. Sullivan. who was ar
rested in Bangor last night.
The assault was committed on the Pull
man train, on which Sullivan and Lawyer
Max l.. Lezotte of this city were passen-
gers. Lawyer Lezotte reached in front Of
the ex-champion to shake hands with
John Sheehan, a member Of the Sullivan
party, with whom Lawyer Lezotte is &C
quainted.
AS he did so Sullivan gave him a kick
in the groin, which sent the lawyer across
the car. Lezotte Is q powerful man,
though he has only one hand, and he raj
lied and ven at Sullivan, clinching him
and turning him over a car seat.
They were separated, but were hardly
parted before another member Of the Sui
Ivan party struck Lezotte In the face, cut
ting his lips and bloodying his nose. Sui
livan took advantage Of the situation and
choked the lawyer, leaving his finger marks
upon his throat. They were finally sep
arated, but Lezotte was pretty well
banged up.
Lawyer Lezotte says he shall have Sulli-
van bound over to the grand jury, which
goes in session today. He will be brought
here for trial.
