MYSTERY OF THE OCEAN Captain, Wife and Mate
 Killed.
Probably the Result of Too
 Much Liquor.
The Crew Acts Strangely and Refuse to TalK-An of Them Thrown
 Into Prison.

HALIFAX, N. S., July 23.-Quite a sensation was caused here yesterday by the arrival of the American ship Herbert Fuller. She sailed from Bos- ton a few days ago, bound for Rosario. AS soon as the vessel came into the harbor it was seen that something was wrong on board. The proper sails were not set and the crew acted very strangely. News soon reached the shore from the ship that the bodies of three murdered people were on board. The proper officials were notified and an investigation promptly made. The officers of the law were mortified to find that the murdered persons were Captain Nash, his wife and Second Mate Brunberg.
 No one on board would give any in- formation as to how the murders oc- cured or who was responsible for them.
 The only thing they could find out definitely was that the killing took place on July 12.
 At that time there were seven men on the ship besides a passenger named Monck
 None of the men would talk. It is believed that an outbreak took place among the men and that Second Mate Brunberg attempted to stop it. The sailors resented his interference and killed him. Captain Nash took a hand in the mates behalf and was also killed in the presence of his wife, who was afterward murdered in order that she might tell no tales.
 There was plenty of liquor on board and 1t is believed the crew had been drunk for several days.
 It is hoped that some more light will be thrown on the tragedy in few days, when the men get sober enough to appreciate the awful posi- tion they are in. It is probable that the bloody work may have been done by some one or two men, while the others are shielding them.
 All of the people on the vessel were promptly thrown into prison. It is expected that some of them | will tell the details of the killing be- fore many days have passed.

Society Woman Shows Her Husband
 How to Do It.

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa, July 23- Professor D. A. Kent of the state agri- cultural college at Ames, who drained Lake Garter of its waters and paid this county s4,O0O for quitclaim deed to the land which he thus brought into view, was on the eve of abandon ing his project this week. The wet season has washed out the seed and completely discouraged him.
 His wife, a prominent lady in society, came to her husbands rescue and yes terday morning early she commenced seeding an eighty-acre tract to millet and drove the team herself, finishing fifty acres before night. Today she is going on with the work and declares that if her husband has not the grit to save the 5000 acres she will do it her self

OBJECT TO DON.
Does Not Want Dickinson as
 Counsel.

LONDON, July 23.-The selection of Don Dickinson as counsel for the United States before the claims tri- bunal in the Behring sea cases is not satisfactory to the English govern ment. MT. Dickinson made a speech in Detroit last spring in which he crit icised severely the general policy of the English government. This has made him distinctly persona non grata to England and it is suggested by high officials that the choice of some lawyer who is not known to be so hostile to England would facilitate the settlement by arbitration of the several disputes between the two coun- tries. It is granted that the United States is at liberty to choose any one to represent it before the tribunal, but the expression of displeasure at Dick inson's selection is pronounced.

A SLICK STRANGER.
Several Merchants Victimized by an
 Invalid Forger.

Several Phoenix merchants have found to their sorrow that they have been cleverly victimized by a smooth individual of sanctimonious bearing, about medium height, slender build, with hirsute adornment and hair of a brown color. The modern Machia- velli said he was in ill health; and if hollow cheeks, sunken eyes and a graveyard complexion is a criterion, he certainly gave the appearance of being a walking advertisement for an undertaken. Who would think that a man who appeared to have one foot on the other shore would do evil, when ere long the recording angel would enumerate his sins?
 This cadaverous specimen of the brotherhood of confidence sharps walked into Greene's hat store Satur- day night last and in a sepulchral voice ordered bill of goods. He ten dered a United Verde check for s36 drawn in favor of a man named Mason. He apologized for rendering the pa- per and said he had got in on the evening train and as the banks were closed he could not cash the check. f1e said he was sick and needed the money for medicine, etc. Greene de- ducted the amount of the goods and gave him the balance in change. The walking corpse of pious demeanor next successfully palmed off forged checks on Wakelin's pharmacy and Keefers drug store, each for $13S5. Diehls | shoe store was not overliked and a $3f | check was cashed in that store. There may be others that were victimized but they have not come to light.

Fifteen Miles an Hour Can he At
tanned ON Pneumatic Skntes.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
A new form of locomotion has been in
PRODUCED thorugh the medium of the pneu-
matte road skate. This skate is in the
form of a miniature bicycle for each foot
Attached to it is support for the ankle
and below the sole are two pneumatic
wheels of about three and half inches
diameter 1t is claimed that it gives any
person a speed of from ten to fifteen miles
an hour after but little practice. and much
higher speed can he obtained by eXperts
The skate can be used on a rough road
up and down HILL ana on all ordinary and
smooth surfaces. 1t is proposed to apply
il to nearly every purpose for which hi
cyles hove hitherto been used as il offers
a cheap and easy means of locomotion for
postmen carriers and numerous other per
sons, including country doctors and clergy
men. 1t is well adapted to the purposes or
pleasure seekers and tourists and in
crowded thoroughfares, 1t entails the min
imum risk of accident or hindrance by
traffic.
A champion figure skater states that If

TO the Wearer. Uphill work is effected
with less eXertion than with the bicycle
