 The authorities sof Scotland yard con

 "London '' was printed in Paris. There is
 great deal of friction between the French

 but the parcel in falling burst open and
 was seen to contain nothing more serious than a bunch of flowers. The man was arrested. He declared at the police sta tion that he had no intention of alarming the prince and princess, but merely wished to present them with tbe flowers.
 Lord Dunrnven informs the Field that he
 was watching the Santantai for a minute and a half before she struck the Vaikyrie. When the collision seemed imminent, the Valkyrie luffed as much a possible, but could do nothing to avoid a collision: If the Valkyrie had not been where she was, the Santanita would inevitably have plunged into the steam yacht Hebe. The collision could have been avoided if there
 had been more room at the starting line.

WALKER COAL MINES
Will Resume and the Strike Is Now at an End So Far as That District
 Ia Concerned.

 PATTON, July 7.-[Special Correspond ence. 1.-The coal miners strike is at last at an end, so far as Walker miners are con cerned.
 A final meeting was held at Patton Junc- ton last night by representative miners from Lockhart, Corona, Patton, Deer Creek, Coal Valley and Gas Light, and it was decided by unanimous vote to return to work.
 There is no grievance against the mines named, and the men employed by them have been out through sympathy with lief ferson county miners, and through the wire workings of political tricksters.
 The majority of those miners who have been idle on account of the strike since the 2lst of April are openly denouncing Kolb, and some of the leaders are making speeches for Oates, saying they have been imposed upon, and now they propose 10 even mat ters up little. Everybody is rejoicing that the strike is at an end, and now we may look for better | times.

A Reply From veteran Sportsman"

| AUGUSTA Oct. 10, 1894.
Editors Kenncbec Journal:
| An item appeared in the JOURNAL Satur-
day morning in regard to myself and dogs,
and also of my dog trainer. The real
author is a first rate fellow but his imagina-
ton always runs away with him. He is a
young bald-headed lawyer, that lives not
over one hundred and twenty-five miles
from this city. He is authority
in sporting matters. Lest year he
went down into Hancock county for deer,
with some friends. One morning one of
his friends heard bill blazing away and
hurried up to see what was in the wind.
Before the friend, we will call him Heath
for short, got up to him he had fred two
shots, and as he Heath came up, b-h
was lying fiat on the ground, and putting his
hand to his mouth, said, "Sh, Heath, 1 have
| fired at a deer twice, but will have him
this time. and he blazed away third time.
His friend Heath, having shot several deer
| in his time, said: ''B-h-l, you must have
| very queer deer, that will allow you to
| shoot at him three times and not move; let's
go down and see about it," Said bill, II
think did it for him the last shot made"
| and he made dash for the spot, not more
| than % yards distant, followed by his friend
B-hl gave shout of triumph, a real war
whoop, threw his hat IN the air, and cried
out for very joy, 81 knew that last shot
FRED him."
Meanwhile his friend Eve will call him
Heath came up, looked at the deer, and
then looked at bill in disgust. But bill
did not even then take in the situation, but
cried out
Wasn't that a great shot,
His friend replied, in disgust:
"Why, you cussed fool, that deer has
been dead more than two weeks, and has
already begun to decay"
You had ought to have seen bill wilt.
He merely gasped out:
"For Coos sake don't ever mention this
incident" But it was too good to keep.
The deer had been shot at some two weeks
before, and had crept away and died, to be
shot over again by bill.
But this lesson has its moral-never dip
yor pen in ink to try to make fun
of fellow mortal-if you do decide
to do it, better see if the other fellow has
not pen just as sharp. Should b-.h-l
need any instruction in craftsmanship,
shall be pleased to lend him helping
hand If he does not know the difference
b tween a flock of sheep and a flock of
rtridges if he will ga with me few
times, / will undertake to show him.
Throwing all joking aside, will bet bill
that never killed sheep in my life, and
that have not dog that ever did. Bets
from S. to $4,000 to be placed in hands of

The hunters moon is rising high in Il

Saturday, and was round-faced and full
on the l4th. The phase of the last quar-
ter occurs on the 2lst while the new moon
does not arrive until the 2Sth. Ga the l4th
Mars and the moon we're in conjunction, and
on the 18th Neptune and the moon, fol
lowed on the Goth by a meeting between
Jupiter and Luna. Not one of these can
be considered as being particularly worth
looking at. On the 2Sth the moon pays
two visits, the first to Venus and the sec
ond to Saturn, followed by an interchange
of civilities with Mercury on the both,
which, while the closest of all on the
monthly calendar, finds the two bodies
quite too near the sun for our purposes.

was, prior to the death of +. B. Ward, the
great Detroit millionaire, his right-hand
man, having entire oversight of his large
hoating property, and in a measure, of his
mining and pine land interests. Comma
dore Cabot was also associated with Messrs.
jordan Marsh of Bo ton, in their early
ventures in Nantasket Beach lands. In all
his enterprises he never failed to be at the
front, while his genial, warm.hearte Ad-
Dress has won him host of friends. When

Cabot was on his way to Skowhe-
gan to visit his wife's parents. He
married daughter Of w. B. Snow of that
place, meeting her for the first time num-
Der OF years ago, during visit to friends in
this city, while she was student at ST
GATHERINGS Hall. He has one chill, q
daughter, and is a devoted husband and
father. For the past year or SO, the COM
