In the month of January, 1892. Thomas
Lea, an old man who had lived for many
years at Chestnut and Buchanan streets,
disappeared. Just three weeks later his
body was picked up off the Marin County

TO Martinez.
People said that he was drowned, but a
physician who made an autopsy on the
dead man declared his skull had been
fractured. With that information regard

ties Asked to Respond.
The executive committee of the Traffic
Association held a meeting yesterday to
perfect plans for obtaining subscriptions
to the valley road. In speaking on the
project Traffic Manager Leeds said:
''The necessity for the road has been
argued out to the entire satisfaction of all
INTELLIGENT men. There is no necessity for
further argument on that score. The
period of action has arrived. The sum
needed TO begin with is Insignificant in
view of the resources and needs of this
community and Of the counties across the
BAY. We have decided to make our first
attempt in San Francisco and Alameda
County. Cooperation on thu part of the
people of Alameda County will be heartily
welcomed. They are just a. much con-
cerned as the people If San Francisco an
OF the San Joaquin Valley, for the road
will undoubtedly come into Oakland. Ala
media County will be benefited as much as
will San Francisco.
This enterprise Is the personal concern
of every business man and owner of real
estate. 1t will not do, if success is to be
achieved, for any man TO shift the re-
sponsibility which is his in this matter
upon any other person, for business sue
cess is not achieved in that way. Sub
scriptiOns for stock can be made at these
offices, 2l4 Pine street, fifth floor and we
hope that many subscribers will visit US

Outlook for Wheat Bad.

Wheat is down to 57i@57i cents
per bushel for May, and spot" is
given the same quotation, having de-
clined from go cents within several
days, and until it has reached the low
est notch so far known to this market.
The price last year the same day was
Is cents per bushel higher, being quo
ted at 75i @75. cents. 1t is said the
low prices for wheat are expressing
others besides our own farmers, and
that Australia will put in reduced
acreage. the farmers claiming that
wheat cannot he grown at the present
price. All over the continent and
Great Britain the crops are reported
promising, with the prospects, of course,
of decreased demand for the Ameri-
can product, besides which the West
ern crops are generally good. All
this appears to point to u continued low
price for wheat. As pointer it is
stated that only $4,000 bushels of
wheat is on passage for France, against
2, ,336, 900 bushels for the same period
of last year.

MIR. Brattan's Superstition.

The late Representative Brattan Of
Maryland, although not a superstitIous
man in the general sense of the word,
was nevertheless disturbed during his
life by the frequency with which the
number 13 was woven into his career.
He never fancied. for instance. the
fact that he was born on the 18th day
of May, but reconci'ed himself to his
misfortune by the knowledge that his
birth was a matter over which he had
no control. When seats were drawn
by members at the beginning of the
present Congress his name was the
thirteenth one called. A number of
his colleagues joked with him upon
the fateful number and laughingly
congratulated him, but he always had
an idea from that moment that he
would not live out his term.-Wash-
ington Post.

Mr.. Pusey Catches big Fish In
His Corn Fielsl.-TwO Weigh
Forty Pounds.

1t is not very often that you see
or read of an abundance of fine fish
swimming about in Il corn field, but il
happened near Snow Hill on Sunday
Mr.. +. L. Pusey resides on the farm Of
the late Samuel S. Mills, on the west
side of the Pocomoke river, and about
six miles from Snow Hill. Several
years ago Mr.. Mills made a fish pond
on this farm and stocked it with German
Carp. which he obtained from the
Maryland Fish Commission. Mr.. Mills
was very much interested in pisciculture
but since his death, the fact that the
fish had been placed in the pond seems
to have escaped the memory of the
tenant, Mr.. Pusey, and all of his neigh
bors, but Oh Sunday the forgotten
beauties made their presence known in
a most agreeable manner to Mr.. Pusey.
The recent heavy rains caused the
pond to overflow into the fields and
pastures of the farm and on Sunday
the field in which Mr.. Pusey's stock
was grazing had considerable water in
it. His young son went out to drive
the horses and cattle home, but before
he reached them, the father heard him
loudly calling him to come to him; he
ran for dear life, not knowing what the
matter might be; as he approached
nearer the boy he saw him struggling
with something, he grabbed a stick of
wood and rushed to his assistance, but
his fears turned to joy and establishment.
for instead of some huge monster
unknown in these parts, there was the
boy endeavoring to capture a big fish
while around him splashed many others
Of the same family. Mr.. Pusey re-
gained his wits and commenced TO kill
them with his stick for fear they might
get away from him. He sent home
for his mule and cart and returned
home with 23 as fine German Carp as
was ever seen anywhere; the weight of
which aggregated over 200 lbs. He
brought them to Snow Hill on Monday
and realized good price for them.
