WOMAN LOVES A WOMAN.
Another Strange Case of a Girl in a New
York Court.

New York, Nov. 4-The strange story
OF woman's love for a woman and of her
subsequent wish TO kill the object Of her
affections came out in the Harlem court
yesterday morning, when Miss Emma
Oswald, of 102 Sanda street, Brooklyn,
was arraigned on the charge of carrying
a revolver.
Miss Oswald is a rather prepossessing
woman, slight of build, but plump, with
large brown eyes and a fair complexion.
She was arrested on Tuesday afternoon
by Policemen Meehan and Dunn. of the
West One Hundredth street station, while
lettering around the residence of Miss
Sarah A. Wright, 1873 Manhattan avenue,
with a loaded revolver concealed on her
person. The arrest was made at the in
stigation of Miss Wright. but neither she
nor the police would give the least in
formation in regard TO the case
When Miss Oswald was arraigned in
court a charge of carrying a revolver
without permit was made against her
by Policeman Meehan and she was fined
$40. Then Peter a. French, an account
ant, of 40 Jay street. Brooklyn, who said
that he was cousin of Miss Oswald
stated TO Magistrate Deul that warrant
had been issued by Judge Walsh, of
Brooklyn, for her arrest on charge of
assault.
Mr.. French asked that she be held until
the arrival of officers with the warrant.
Mss Wright. buxom, fine-lOoking wo-
man, then made complaint against Miss
onious assault. Miss Wright swore that
Miss Oswald<had repeatedly threatened 10
shoot her On the complaint Miss Os-
wald was held in $500 bail for examination
today and was committed in default
When she was taken 10 prison Miss Os-
wald, who had refused TO talk Of the case
before, told her story to Aatron Pardee
She said that at certain times she was
not responsible for her actions, Three
years ago her father died in a lunatic
asylum and her mother died q year later.
Her three brothers in Brooklyn got most
CT her fathers estate and she got nothing
She said that she and Miss Wright had
been intimate friends for six years, room
ing together during most of that time
but thar people have been trying for
long time 10 separate them and had at
last succeeded.
She decided that her love for Miss
Wright was SO strong that she could not
live without her. She had fought against
the impulse without avail, and al last
had bought the pistOl with the intention of
killing both Miss Wright and herself.
She told her story calmly and deliber-
ately, exhibiting no emotion. but there
was occasionally 2 fierce CLEAN in her
eyes that showed that she was laboring
under some strong impulse and might be
insane.

OhCA u@Se.
Washington, Nov. 4.-When Senator
Blackburn was here last month he talked
bitterly and at times violently against
his old friend, Secretary Carlisle, because
OF the attitude which Carlisle had taken
in the Kentucky campaign. This was
very d.suleasing 10 Secretary Carlisle's

FISHERMeN'S NETS.
Most of Them Made by Machine Nevada
Their Many Uses

Most of Them Made by Machine Nowadays
Their Many Uses
Most tiShermen's nets nowadays are
made by machinery. except the small
round crab nets and dip nets, aud bate
nets that sportsmen use; these are
made by hand, for the machines can
not make anything but straight Hat
web. Many larger circular nets, how
ever, are constructed from machine
made netting, cut up.
Machines have been used generally
in net making for about thirty years
Before that nets were knitted in the
families of the fishermen. Some fish
ermen on the Atlantic coast still make
their own nets, and on one part of the
Pacific coast there Is close union Of
fishermen using nets made by hand;
but factory made nets have almost dis
placed most nets of domestic make.
There are six netting factories in the
United States, all on the Atlantic
coast Carload lots of nets are not
uncommon shipments from this coast to
the Pacific, and the same Is true of
netting Irvine.
Nets are made OF various sizes of
thread or Irvine, in any size mesh de-
sired, and they can be made of any
length; but nets of certain kinds are
made commonly in certain lengths,
and then Joined together IL greater
length be desired. In this way nets
have been set in the great lakes on one
straight string of eleven miles; nets
three or four miles long are not un-
usual there. Such nets are tished with
steam boats.
A pound net, one hundred feet in
depth, has been set in Lake Superior.
1t was necessary TO splice the poles for
it. The average depth of pound nets
on the lakes is forty feet; on the At
lantic coast the average depth of pound
nets is thirty-five feet. leaders are
made fifteen to seventy rods in length.
In the sounds of North Carolina very
long hauling seines are used some of
them about a mile long; they are oper-
ate6 by steamboats,. Formerly, haul
ing seines were used generally. With
in the last fifteen years the use of
pound nets has increased rapidly.
Purse seines are made two hundred TO
two hundred and fifty fathoms long
and perhaps one hundred feet deep,
A pound net, complete, cost two hum
bred TO one thousand two hundred dol
lars; purse net, four hundred To eight
hundred dollars; a lake gill-net outfit,
two thousand to three thousand dol
lars. although it might not all be used
at one time; shore seine, from ten to
four hundred dollars There are other
kinds of nets and seines. The life of a
net depends on the water it is used in,
and circumstances. A heavy pound
net might get thrashed out in a sea-
son; some nets and seines last three or
four years or longer.
Nets are made for various uses other
than for fishing. They are made for
use on horses, in laundries TO hold coll
lars and cuffs. for decorative purposes,
for lawn tennis, and all sorts of back
stops, for banners and for hammocks,
for poultry yards and for fruit trees
and strawberry beds. Some bird traps
are made with nets There are steam
boat nets, which, however, are not
knotted, but sized.-N. Y. sun.
