Perry, that | have never been intro

Perry mumbled something and went
away, first giving his wife permission
TO do as she pleased about taking the
suburban house.
A week later both families were set
tied in the row which fronted street
and a railroad track, and was equi-
distant from two depots.
Mr.. Smead did not take as kindly to
the change as Perry Thorne did, but he
told his wife, thoughtlessly, that one
good feature OF suburban life was hav-
ing the Thornes for neighbors.
Where have you ever met Mrs.
Thorne?' asked his wife suspciously.
Don't know her from Adam, my
dear; but isn't she your friend, and

lot of soldiers got into the cham
ber and stuck their bayonets
into the desk, and reckon they
thought they'd make kindling wood
of it. But old Capt. Bnssett goes to
work and patches it all up with screws
and putty and varnish, till it looks
like any other old desk in the cham

MANY FATHoMs De

Lies the China Steamer Catterthun on
Seal Rock, With Fifty-Five Human Vic
tims-Tlie Disaster Due to Some MySte-
rIOus Current Which Carried the Vessel
on the Roeks-Story of "a Survivor Who
Had Fremonition.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The Herald
this morning prints the following:
VANCOUVER, b. c.. Sept. 14-The
2,O00-ton China steamer Catterthun,
bound from Sydney to China with
eighty-one human beings on board, is
lying many fathoms deep off Seal
rock, near Port Stephens lighthouse
Only twenty-six lives were saved
The terrible details of the catastrophe
fill many pages of the Australian pa
pers.
The following are the names of the
drowned:
r. Fraser, R. Smith, Mrs. Matthias,
Mrs. Loring, Miss Loring, Neil Shan
non, Liverpool.
Master W. P Pinney, chief officer.
Harold Letter, third officer.
4. II. Anderson, engineer.
j. w. Adams, third engineer.
A. Wolstendholm, fourth engineer.
r. Manning, chief steward, and
Forty Chinese.
The accident was due to currents
drifting the steamer on the rocks in
the fury and darkness of the storm.
Mrs. and Miss Loring were the wife
and daughter OF the secretary of the
Imperial Federation league of Aus
tralia and were well known in San
Francisco, having been on their way
there, via China.
At the coroner's inquest it was en-
phatically proved that the steamer
was being steered all right, and that
the only way to account for the vessel
striking was that some mysterious
current carried her on the rocks.
Following is an account of the dis
aster by survivor, DIR. Copeman,
which most accurately and briefly de-
tails the circumstances of the disaster:
Il was returning to England by way
of China via Vancouver, B. G. had a
premonition that the Catterthun was
going to be wrecked and took passage
with another steamer. but a friend
persuaded me to go by the Catterthun.
''At ? o'clock on the morning after
the steamer had sailed violent storm
arose and the sea swept over the vessel
and at 2:3O | was shot out of the bunk
by terrible shock. which was fol-
| lowed by a second one. Irushed on
deck and found the steamer listed and
rapidly settling. An officer told me
we had struck rock. There was no
screaming. The skipper was as cool
as possible, and told the passengers
not to get excited. In the meantime
the steamer was being washed away
| in pieces.
Capt. Shannon gave orders follower
the boats, and Immediately afterwards
he was washed overheard and drowned.
AS the boats were lowered they were
dashed to pieces or swept away. AT
| last only the starboard boat was left.

In the center of little point of high land
that makes up from what was probably
once the head of Battle Creek, in Calvert
county, was recently unearthed what is
thought to be an ancient tomb of some kind.
The crypt appears to have been built
into the earth and walled with brown sand
stone. An immense flat, Rectangular
shaped stone, nine feet long, four feet broad.
and two and a half feet thick W was used as
covering.
While the structure is crude in the manner
of its construction, it is believed by those
who have investigated its various features
that the tomb was put together with
human hands. Archaeologists are positive
that it is almost impossible for the tomb to
have been of natural formation. the sur
roundings and every other indication show
ing too plainly that such could not have been
the case 1t is therefore presumed to be
the relic of some age and people that have
long since passed into oblivion. The discov-
cry of the tomb has created no small amount
of excitement in the neighborhood, and
theories are rampant regarding its origin.

the fact that the only eye witness TO the

testimony will carry but little weight.
The circumstances of the murder are to
the effect that Hamcs was Killed at his

woman's Fish story.

Our townsman, william D. Andrews, one
day recently was walking along the banks
of the Canasawacta Creek eating n sand
wich, and on account of the unusual
disparity between bread and meat, he
threw the redundant piece into the water.
Immediately a school of large fish mostly
perch, dubbed around it fighting for the
mouthful.
Mr. Andrews searched his pocket for fish
line and hook. but all in vain, and was be-
ginning to despair when his eye lighted on
blacksuakc. AT that moment he remembered
how his father used to tell him that black
snakes were experts in catching fish. He
therefore grabbed the reptile by the tail,
carried it to the creek and held ii over the
struggling fish. The snake proved itself a
born angler, and in the course of an hour
Mr.. Andrews had captured forty-nine fish.
A few days later as he was walking in the
same place he felt something rub against his
leg, and locking down he saw his friencs the
blacksnake eager for more sport.-Woman's
