SWORD FIs H.
A Schooner Arrives With Some of the Fish
Jerry Yorks' Experience-Why They
Bring the Fish Here and Not to Boston.

The swordfish schooner AL bert W.
Black of Harpswell. Captain Harvey
Black, came into the harbor yesterday,
after six weeks trip in the vicinity of
Block Island. They secured 60 swordfish.
Part of them they sold in New Bedford
and Newport for an average of about
SIC each. They brought some 80 odd to
Portland, and will get here about S12 a
fish. The whole trip of six weeks will
net about 500, which is not considered
a very good fare. The crew numbers
eight men.
While Jerry York, one of the crew, was
out in his dory alone securing one of the
great fish that had been speared. the
savage creature rushed at the boat and
drove it's long snout through the bot
tom. Luckily Mr.. York was up on the
platform in the bow, provided for just
such emergencies, and was out of harm S
way. He succeeded in stabbing the fish
over the side of the dory. Then he broke
off the snout, drove it down through and
stuffed a mitten in the hole, secured the
fish9and rowed to the schooner. Mr..
York has had peculiar and painful
experience with his eye. The under lid is
vel, much ,inf1amed and swollen, and
the eye is half closed. Over year ago he
ran. into line stretched across the deck,
and his eye lid has been infiamed ever
since. He has been to the infirmary in
this city twice and has employed five
doctors, but all to no purpose But the
eye does not get any worse. He thinks
that shred of the rope is embedded in
the lid and causes the trouble.
All the thirty odd swordfish were
purch ased in this city, and the great
majority of them will be sent to Boston
and that vicinity. Now why do these
schooners that catch their swordfis sh
south OF Boston sail right by Boston
and bring and sell the fish here only to
have them. .sent back to Boston by our
dealers? AS one man expressed it.,
"They're SO darned tricky in Boston
that fellows got to be mighty sharp
or they'll get the best of him."
The fishermen don't like to 60 into
Boston. They don't like the way their
fish are weighed there, conseo uently
they come down here to Portland where
they feel sure that they will have a
square deal.

Washington, July 1S.-In the absence
of the Vice President, who has gone
home to Bloomington, Illinois, the SEN
ate was presided over today by Presi
dent pro tenn. Mr.. Harris, Democrat, of
Tennessee. The Senate bill to provide
for the reservation, sale and settlement
of certain lands in several states and ter
ritories was taken from the calendar,
amended and passed. 1t provides to en-
courage the reclamation of arid lands
small tracts to actual settlers, reserved
for the purpose and upon conditions
provided in an act of each Of the states
to which the desert land law of the
United States is applicable, million
acres of surveyed public arid lands
thereon respectively, to be selected by
each of them within ten years after the
passage of the act. and from the date of
such selection to be thereafter with
held from other disposal except as pro-
vided the act provided any lands SO
reserved, which cannot be reclaimed
within five years from the date of their
selection, or as to which the Senate has
not expended or caused to be expended

clamatiou of such lands as are now re-
ouired by the United States desert land

tional purposes provoked good deal of

GlOudl PURPOSES prOVOkGu d SOOu zeal OF
discussion.
Mr.. Quay presented a petition from
the Universal Peace Union, protesting
against the proposed reductions in the
appropriations for Indian day and indus
trial schools and for the Carlisle Indian
school.
Mr.. Call, Democrat of Florida, in
charge of the bill, denied the existence
OF any sectarian purpose in the matter.
:, Mr.. Gallinger, Repu blican,, of New
Hampshire, referred to what he called a
remarkable fact" that within the last
eight years the Catholic church had re-
ceived 81. 366, 900 for the education of In
dian children. Fifteen other churches
received little more than half that
amount.
Finally the committee amendment
was agreed to. The item of 100000 for
an Indian industrial school at Carlisle,
creased to $4,000. An item of $1,000 for
the repair of the church and building
used for school purposes on San Xavier
reservation, in Arizona, led to the state
mnt by Mr.. Cockreli, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, chat this probably was the oldest
church in the United States,- and the
work of rare skill in architecture. The
real object of the Appropriation was to
preserve it as one of the antiquities of
the country. There was no discussion
on any other provisions of the bill,
which was read through to the close.
All the committee amendments were
agreed to.
The only independent amendment that
evoked controversy was one offered by
Mr.. Squire, Republican, of Washington,
authorizingsthe Puyallup Indians,aa who
hold lands in severalty ON the reserva-
ton near Tacoma, Washington, to sell
portions of those lands to raise money
enough to improve the remainder.
Final action was not taken on the
amendment, which went over until to-
morrow. After an executive session,
the Sc nate adjourned.

Captain Pendleton is Well Known in this
City-His Wife Was W. tn Him.
New York, July IS. The bark Emma
L. Crowell, Captain Pendleton, which
left New York Tuesday, bound for
Shanghai, loaded with case oil, took
fire about 12 miles south of Fire Island,
and burned to the water's edge. Her
captain, his wife and the whole crew
were saved py the steamer Runic, for
Liverpool, and transferred to the Sandy
Hook lightship, and thence to the Dutch
oil tank steamer Ocean, and brought
into port Wednesday forenoon.
Captain Pendletond says the bark was
towed to sea Tuesday morning, and
about 6.20 p.m., smoke was seen issu.
ing from the fore hatch. An examina-
tion showed that fierce fire was raging
below decks. The infiammatory nature
of the cargo rendered the situation of
those on board one of extreme danger,
and no time was lost in lowering boat.
The starboard life boat was stove in
and rendered useless, but the port boat
was safely launched and all hands and
the captains wife embarked and at
once left the ships side.
The last seen of her the doomed vessel
was a red mass looming through the fog,
which became very dense at the moment.
A few minutes later the Runic hove in
sight and Captain Haddock picked up
the crew of the unfortunate bark and
putting his vessel about returned and
placed them on Sandy Hook Iightship.
The Ocean was signalled by the crew
of the lighship, and stopped and picked
up the rescued crew. All are we'll, al
though they have lost everything of val
ue. The bark Emma 7. Crowell was
built in Bath in 1878, and is owned by
Eugene Carver OF Boston and Others and
was not insured. She was loaded with
80, 1872 cases of petroleum.

LEARNED TO LOVE ANOTHER.
And Deserted Her Husband and Nursing
Baby.

Baby.
Biddeford, July 1s.-The Biddeford
Journal tonight prints the following
story: Charles Spaulding, machinist,
who lives on Granite street. moved there
from Lebanon few months ago with
his young wife, to whom he has been
married about three years, and an in
FAINT child. Spaulding had formerly lived
in Biddeford and had been working for
while at Lebanon.
Monday afternoona boy came to the
house and called Mrs. Spaulding to the
door, telling her that young man had
sent him from the depot to ask her to
meet him there. Mrs. Spaulding dressed
herself in her best. and telling her hus-
band that she was going out to make
some calls, left the house. Before she
had been gone long Spaulding became
suspicious and started to follow her. He
went to the depot, and got there just
in time to see the train pulling out with
his wife and a young man named Lin
wood Clark, who belongs in Lebanon,
and who was quite intimate with Mrs.
Spaulding when she lived there. Spaul-
ing could not stop the train nor follow
the couple. His first idea was to send
the police after them, and he spoke to
Marshal Harmon about it. Then he
changed his mind and said that they
were not worth following, and that he
did not care where they went so long as
they did not come hack here. The
worst feature of the elopement is that
Mrs. .Spaulding has deserted nursing
babe, which her husband has to take
care of. The infant cries for it's mother
day and night, and it's condition is most
pitiful Spaulding has an idea that the
eloping couple went to Cornish. He says
he shall not follewnthem, but shall pros
ecute them if they come back here.
Mrs. Spaulding SIS q young woman
of 80 and is quite pretty. She was
Buxton girl, and hersname before mar
riage was Bennett. The man with
whom she has eloped is said to belong to
a good family, in Lebanon, and the in
timacy which eliminated in the elope-
ment was formed while Mrs. Spaulding
lived in that town. 1t il nots.a case Of
"gone with handsome man," since the
young man with whom Mrs. SpauIding
has gone is said to be very plain in
looks. Spaulding is quiet, Industrious
young man, and much sympathy is felt
for him.
