TOWED BY A SWORDFISH.
Fisherman Troy Picked Up Forty Miles
from Land.

from Lana.
New York, August John Troy,
fisherman, of No. 81 Charter street,
Boston, arrived in port yesterday
aboard the three-masted schooner Katie
c.. Wilbur, of st. John, n. B., and
spun to reporter the following tale
of the sea:
Il am one of the crew of the fishing
boat Iolanthe, Of Boston, Walter Mar
tn, captain. On Thursday last the
Iolanthe was off Chatham, Mass, and
five of her 14-foOt dories, at a. m,
put off to set travis for fish. There
was one man in each dory. Ny travis
parted, so | rowed in TO get the buoy
aboard. l got it in and was placing
my oars aft, when a 12-foot swordfish,
prowling on the bottom of the sea, got
tangled in the buoy line and started
ahead like a streak Of lightning.
was nearly pitched into the sea and the
dOry half filled with water. | saved
the oars, but one of the trawl nets went
overheard.
Il dared not move forward 10 cut tho
line for fear the dory would upset, 50
| had to sit still and let the fish have
full fling. / hallooed at the start like
dear life for help, but no one paid any
attention to my cries.
THAT swordfish towed me for five
hours before it let up. Once it came
to the top, gave a leap of twelve feet
into the air and then shot under the
water again Sideways. The wrench
carried off the dory's gunwale. At the
end of the five hours the fish came to
the top again and died, of worry, I
guess. They say that's what always
kills the swordfsh. Then l cut the
line, losing seven fathoms of rope and
one Of my two anchors.
The other anchor l dropped to see
how the tide was going. 1t was run
ming westward. Then | started to row.

Thursday afternoon and night, all of
Friday and Friday night, and about
a. m. Saturday was so tired and thirsty
that | anchored in siXty-eight fathoms
Of water and tried to get asleep in the
bottom of the boat. | had had neither
food nor water since left the Iolanthe.
l CUulun steep ana N an hour S time

saw two lights bearing down upon me.
| stood up and hallooed as loud as I
could. | tried to, but couldn't break
the anchor line. Again | shouted to
keep Off. Then the captain of the yes
sci spoke to me and asked me to come
aboard. | did so. They gave me some
tea and then fell asleep. l was told
she was the Wilbur, bound for New
York with timber. l was picked up
forty miles east. of Chatham. am
very thankful for my rescue. | thought
time and again it was all up with me.
It's the second swordfish I've had deal
ings with. Once on the Grand Banks
we caught one in net, but seven men
couldn't land him"

His Trial Postpoued-But Slight Chance

of Conviction.
LONDON. May 20.-Old Bailey Court
was crowded to-day when Justice Wills,
accompanied by the Lord Mayor of Lon
don, Sir Joseph Ronals hand several
Aldermen, took seats upon the bench
preparatory to the second trial of Oscar
Wilde, charged with serious misdemean-
ors.
Wilde had previously been driven to
the Old Bailey, accompanied by Lord
Douglas of Hawick and Rev. Stewart
II ead lam, his TWO bondsmen.
He looked haggard, but had apparently
improved in health since his release on
bail, aud walked snilingly into the
prisoners dock, where he stood beside
Alfred Taylor, charged with similar of
lenses.
Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for Wilde.
made an elaborate argument III favor OF
having Wilde tried separately. The
Judge agreed and decided to try Fay lor
first.
Sir Edward Clarke then dwelt at length
on the great injustice done his client by
having To wait while Alfred Taylor was
tried. But in spite of the argument oi
his counsel, w ilde look ed only too pleased
as he stepped from the dock. The Judge
allowed his bail TO be renewed and he
was again released from custody on bail.
/: is probable that Wilde's case will &c
over until the next SESSION of the Central
Criminal Court, and there is evidently
but Il slight chance o. his conviction.
Indignant conime..t Is heard on all
sides at the turn events have taken.

AS soon as possible those persons who
have already paid their tax will be noti-
fed that under the authority granted the
Commissioner by Section 1920 of the Re-
vised Statutes he will refund all such
moneys on application of the payees.
Although to-day's decision of the court
will naturally cut down the anticipated
revenues of the Government, it is not
thought that it will necessitate an extra
session of Congress unless some un-
lookei-for contingency arises. 1t is known
that the Administration does not regard
an extra session as q cessary, although
the revenues during the last month have
not been at all satisfactory. The GUS
toms receipts, particularly, are supris-
ingly low. The deficit for the fiscal year
on January 81. 1895, was S34, ,246, ,3S6. On
February 18th this had been increased to
nearly $4,000, ,000 and on April 50th to

day was SOL, ,043, 5S4.
