DANGEROUS peRrLlors.
Need of an International Agreement M
Their Marking or Removal.

AANAN nANNAAAM NN EttnAoNAAs
A Washington dispatch anent the res
olution of Congressman Cummings pro
viding for an International agreement
for the reporting, marking and removal
Of derelicts in the north Atlantic ocean
says;
Secretary Carlisle, in a letter to the
committee on the subject, says that the
necessity for such an agreement among
the governments concerned was empha-
sized by the international marine con-
ference held ia Washington In 1889. He
believes the resolution proper one and
recommends its passage. Accompany
ing his letter are extracts from the re-
port Of the commissioner of navigation
or the subject.
Commissioner O'Brien In HIS report
especially invites attention to the sub
iect Of derelicts and other obstructions
to navigation. He refers to Il as a mat
ter Of international Government and
one Of great importance, President Mink
Of the American Steamship association,
la letter to Mr.. O'Brien, says that he
Is informed that the commissioner is
making heroic efforts to get rid Of dere-
hcts of the Atlantic coast. He Is re-
joioed at this, as the members Of the as
ISOLATION are complaining bitterly at
these unhghted and unmarked obstruc-
tions. They have been 20 frequent Of
late that no captain feels cosy In going
mp or down the coast.
Mr.. Mallory says that precious car
goes and still more precious lives are
greatly threatened every time a vessel
passes between the United States and
Europe and along the North American
coast, and they are not infrequently de-
stroyed. Charts have done much for the
safety Of commerce by showing the posi-
tions Of 882 vessels abandoned on the high
seas and by marking the drift tracks Of
l3s Of them. But they have utterly
failed, and this is an alarming fact, 10
show the tracks Of Gas derolicts which
have been reported. tits another alarm
ing fact that they have tracks and do
drift. They are here today, yonder TO-
morrow. They are q rowing feet that
always hover upon the pathway Of COM
meree. They are more dangerous than
a feet Of pirates, because they are vast
ly more numerous, because they strike
even more by night than by day and be-
cause they are more mercilOss when they
do strike. To destroy them is the only
effective way Of dealing With them.

Agent Mended ThingA
At way station on the Louisville and
Nashville one winter the station keeper
had an exciting time. Il was midnight,
and the station being Ia deserted part
Of the country had boen left by the loaf
ers. II began to rain. The station keeper
was not sleepy and determined 70 sit up
q greater part Of the night, especially as
be had an unusual sum Of money In his
cash drawer, and ne felt uneasy aboutit.
Robberies Of stations and farmhouses
down the line had been frequent. SO he
settled himself down to 3 vigil. As he
felt hungry he took can Of cove oysters
down from the shelf and set Il in the
stove. A moment afterward there was
knock at the door, and he admitted q
cold, drenched tramp, whom he allowed
to lie down by the fire. just then a train
came around the bend, and tho station
agent stepped outside to display the 20
ahead signal. He felt distrustful Of the
tramp and feared that he would fool
with the money drawer. As the train
passed he hurried into the room and had
scarcely opened the door and seen the
tramp standing by the stove with some
thing glistening in his hand, when there
was q report, and the agent felt sting
ing sensation over his eye.
Although blinded with blood from the
wound, he drew his pistol and fred fve
times into the room. He then dashed
round 70 the rear Of the station and hid
under the platform. After an hours
time he crawled out, resigned to the loss
Of his money and thankful that he had
escaped with his life. The room was
dark; the ere was out The tramp had
evidently escaped with his booty. Sor-
rowfully the agent lie a match, but
instantly dropped It when q startling
sight met his eyes. He lit another one,
found q candle and gazed about at the
scene OF desolation.
The lamp had been shattered by q
bullet. A cheese chad been perforated
with two bullets. The room was filled
with smoke from the stovepipe, which a
fourth bullet had perforated. Strangest
Of ell, the room was filled with cinders,
and oysters frescoed everything. Oys-
ters, oysters, oysters, cove oysters. The
agent gasped and realized It all. The
can had remained in the stove too long,
and being sealed up had exploded from
the steam when the tramp poked the
FIRE. OF course the tramp skipped when
tho shooting commenced. The cash
drawer was intact. A piece Of tin was
found near the door, where It had re-
coiled of the agents face. The agent
spent the remainder Of the night in
mending the stove door.-Louisville

Sometimes names have been made to
appear unnecessarily grotesque in their

as the rude savage himself appears per-
