caught in shad net off the Statue of Liberty
and placed on exhibition at w. II. Hands

had hooked it in the head with boathook,
and they thought when they got it into the
boat that is was dead.
Shortly after noon on Tuesday by went

wash the fish. He ran his brush down the
back of the sturgeon about three times when
the great tail of the sturgeon swept around

hustling across the street.
The old apple woman yelled "Police, po-
licew The clans fell around her like rain
The crowd around the fshstand scattered.
The sturgeon evidently enjoyed the sport,
and after moments pause he whipped his
tail and struck bsg Of oysters. They went
like the CLANS.
Then he banged up and down on the stand.
Finally he rolled over aud off upon the side
walk. He went the apple woman's way. She
screamed and fed, yelling; Protect US; the
devils n il"
Four or five Of the fish men made rush at
the fish. He caught one in the stomach and
sent him reeling. The others got him high
enough up TO avoid the tail, and after strug-
gle got him back on the stand. The sturgeon

Inc southern last mall Train on Cne
Atlantic Coast line was wrecked near
Florence, S. c., yesterday. Several cars
were badly damaged and several of the
trainmen were slightly injured. Rev.
Thos. Dixon, jr., the noted New York
preacher, and Robert Petteway, the
baggage-msster, received the worst in
juries, but these were not serious in
either case. A washout was the cause
of the accident. Two sleeping cars
were burned.
The pension Office is informed Of the
death, at the age of ninety-one, of the
one last remaining pensioners, OF the
war of independence. Her name is
Mary Brown. She lived near Knox
vile, Tenn. In 1924 she married Joe
Brown, soldier of the revolutionary
war, he being then sixty five years old,
and she but twenty. She was in Knox
vile March 18th to draw her pension
of S12 month, and. though feeble,
seemed good to last many years.
1t is said that England will bring
Nicaragua to terms by using the spas-
sive blockade" The "passive block
ade" is designed to cripple the internal
commerce of Nicaragua and get to
leave all foreign commerce to proceed
as usual. There will be no exercise of
force which will affect the commerce
or interests of the United States or her
citizens or of other foreign countries.
Another dispatch says Nicaragua is as
sured of Englaud's decision to desist
from carrying out her ultimatum sent
to the Nicaraguan government Mica.
ragua's reply to the ultin,atum has
been favorably received, and the mat
ter in dispute will be submitted to the
arbitration of some friendly power.

DEMOCRATS WON'T NOMINATE.
Kansas nourbons Not Likely to Can judi

Topeka Kas, Sept, l7.--(special) W.
IL, l.. Pepperell, secretary of the Demo
cratic state central committee, tonight
issued a call for meeting Of the com
mittee at Topeka, October T. AS this
date is only one day before the time
when n nomination for chief justice
can be legally made under the law, the
action Of the secretary IS a victory for
the administration Democrats, who have
been fighting the convention idea. The
free silver wing of the party, headed
by David OYermyer, has been anxious
for Il state convention TO put the party
on record, while the postmastrrs and
other federal Otticeholders have been
fighting IT off. First Chairman Rich
ardson disappeared to avoid calling the
committee together, and now tn gold
bugs have captured the secretary ana
made him do their will. The Overmyer
crowd are indignant tonight, ana white
II is possible that the committee may
take advantage Of the one day Of grace
and nominate a candidate for chief
justice, II is not looked on as probable,
and TO call a convention for that pur-
pose is entirely out of the question,
though some of the silver men would he
in favor of a convention, they say. II
for no other reason than of passing
resolutions.
