at the Central park zoo at O'Clock

hour, rain or shine, a tall. gray

ing that borders the path. In an in
slant a dozen or more nimble gray
squirrels spryly climbdown the neigh
boring trees and skip across the grass
to the feet Of the man who seems to
thus exercise peculiar power over
them. The secret of his charm is
soon divulged, for he pulls out a
handful of peanuts from a capacious
pocket and scatters them among his
visitors. New York Letter.

A STCNE SHIP.

The Mysterious Formation Seen on the
 Pacific Coast.
 The mystery of the strange bark that three ship captains have reported stranded on reef fifteen miles west of the Straits of Le Maire, with all mastS and rigging standing, seems to be solved. A few days ago, says the San Francisco Call a vessel reached Lodnon and reported having passed within a short distance of the deserted bark, and interest was renewed in the thrice-re ported stranded vessel. All agreed in saying it was an iron ship, and most likely of German construction. It was bark rigged, and had black painted portholes. Shipping and insurance men have been trying to determine the name of the wrecked bark, but without success. No vessel of its description should be anywhere in the, vicinity of the Horn, and none is overdue at any port that would pass within thousands of miles of the spot.
 It is not likely that it could be taken for the Crown of Italy, which ran on a reef in the Straits of Le Maire about two and a half years ago. It was a full-rigged ship, and when it struck most of her masts went by the board. A few days afterward the sea was strewn with wreckage, and nothing was again seen of the wreck. A few days ago the British ship, Cedric the Saxon, arrived in port from Swansea, and it passed close to the spot where the mysterious bark has been seen. Capt. Rees tells story which further complicates matters. He says the so- called bark is nothing but rock, al though it's resemblance to a ship is so striking that he made an entry in his log to the effect that a ship was strand ed, with all the rigging intact. He says that he was out fifteen miles when he first saw it, and was sure it was a wreck. }ee a9.s
 As he approached it he found it was huge rock sticking out of the water. It was only about half a mile away, but even then its resemblance to a bark with painted ports was so striking that all hands had to be called for an opin- ion. The puzzle to the sea captains who have rounded the Horn dozens of times is that the strange rock has nev- CT been seen before.

A MOONLIGHT DUEL.
Al FuIWiler, Jr., Encounters
 Footpad.
A Gentleman and Lady Held up on the Mcdowell road last
 Saturday Night.

An exciting hold up occurred on Sat urdav three miles out of Phoenix on the Mcdowell road. Al Fulwiler, Jr., and Miss Katie Henderson were on their way home from Good Templars lodge in District No. IA. As they were riding past thicket of grease wood, man sprang from behind a clump of bushes and called to them to halt and hold up their hands. Before they had time to do either the highwayman fired. The report of the pistol frightened the horses and the one Fulwiler WAS riding sprang forward but Miss Hendereon's turned. Fulwiler turned his horse, and drawing his revolver fired at the highwayman, who at the same time took a shot at him. By the line of fire from his gun it could be seen that this bali passed under the horses neck. The highway
 man then grabbed the horse by the bridle and Fulw1ler slid off on the other side. The assallant let go of the bridle and sprang to the roadside fol- lowed by shot from Fulwiler's revolver. Fulwiler mounted his horse and rejoined his companion who had been watch ing the moonlight duel at short distance. He took her to the residence of Chas. Brown who lives nearby and returned to the scene of the shooting. As he came up he saw man emerge from some grease wood bushes and pass through wire fence in the rear. He fired at him but the fellow went on across the field. Fulwiler went back after Miss Henderson and took her to her home on road parallel with the Mcdowell road and nearly opposite the place of encounter. Soon after reach
 ing the Henderson residence man rode by who Fulwiler now thinks was his assailant though it did not occur to him then that he was. He supposes that when the fellow went across the field he was going after his horse which had been hitched along the other road.
 Some time after the horseman had ridden by Fulwiler started in the same direction for home. He crossed over to the Mcdowell road again and when he came in sight of the place where he had encountered the highwayman he saw a man on horseback at the roadside. Since the fight FulWiler had lost some of his pugnacity and rather dreaded 8 second meeting in that lonely spot. So he turned his horse and started back. When the stranger saw the movement he began a pursuit and 8 furious race took place. Fulwiler's horse was much the swifter and he soon rode out of sight of his pursuer The only descrip- tion he and Miss Henderson can give of the highwayman is that he is rather undersize and had handkerchief tied across his face below the eyes.
