both rough and elementary, says Pear
sons Weekly
At the spot where they ure to he
landed, rude sheds are built close down
by the waters edge. The salmon are
thrown out of the boats by forks, and
passed into the first shed, whore a
butcher, armed with a long knife, de-
prives them OF heads, tails, fins, cuts
them open, and hands them on TO the
washing room.
Thence they pass into the hand of
another butcher, who divides them up
into suitable lengths. These are stuffed
into the cans, which are then placed on
an inclined plane. their tops being au-
down.
The cans IRE arranged on n. tray, and
immersed in boiling water. They are
taken out and tested, they are given a
lacquer bath and tested again, by the

The LAW was NtIdicsted-

A friend of Representative Culberson,
of Texas, re ated the following incl
dent: "WhGn Mr.. Culberson was pros
ecuting attorney" he said, there was
n criminal statute universally disre-
Carded. The Indictment of a we'll
known man for violation of this law
was secured through the efforts of Mr..
Culberson, who prosecuted the case
with more vigor than almost any he
had ever conducted, succeeding in Sc
curing n conviction and sentence to the
pcnitentiary. Then he left town and
no one knew where no had gone until
he and the prisoner, who had been
taken to the pcnitentiary. returned to-
Rcther. Mr.. Culberson had gone to the
governor, obtained a pardon and met
the convict at the penitentiary with It,.
The law had been indicated and there
were no more violations of that statute
in jefferson"

A London correspondent of the Paris
Messenger, in speaking of the usual and
general exodus from that city during
the Whitsuntide holidays, says that the
excursions from the metropolis were al
most wholly made on wheels. On Whit
Monday 1t was impossible TO hire or
even buy bike in London. The rail-
ways begin to feel the effect of this form
of transportation, which exceeds the
most extreme anticipations. At the
same time the rush for bicycles was q
sort of relief for railway. omnibus and
other vehicle passengers, which the
rapid transit companies, however. did
less enjoy than their fugitive customers.

A Possibility That Some of Them May BE
Taken From the Twin shaft Alive.

Taken From the Twin shaft Alive.
WHKEsBARRE, Pa, July 6.-There is
Just possibility that some of the men
entombcd in the Twin shaft at Pitts
ton may be taken out alive. The res
cuing party who was at work from ten
o'clock Saturday night until four
o'clock Sunday morning, on coming to
the surface reported to Mine Foreman
O'Bricn that they heard rappings on
the rails OF the gangway road which
may have been caused by some of the
cntombed men. The rappings were
clear and distinct as if someone had
struck the rail with a hard substance.
The supposed signal was answered by
the rescuers in the same manner. Aft
err a short silence the answer came clear
and distinct. The sound seemed to
come "A distance of some three hundred
feet from where the rescuers were at
work.
At seven o'clock Sunday night the
rescuers reported that in their opinion
they are within 400 feet of the en-
tombei men. The shifts have been in
creased from 20 men to -. who are re-
lieved every half hour. They are still
cutting through the rock and progress
ing more rapidly than at any time
heretofore since the work commenced.

A COMPROMISE VERDICT LIKELY
Council in the Case Against Rev. c. o.
Brown Divided in Opinion.

San Francisco, March A. The Rev.
G. o. Brown, is waiting for the verdict
of his ecclesiastical judges and Miss
Matte Overman is speeding toward the
Southern boundary of the State. The
case against the accused pastor is clos
ed. Every witness has been heard and
the last argument has been made. The
sensational trial closed with a dramatic
scene in which men and women cheer
ed the minister who is fighting for a
reputation.
The executive sessions of the council
have been held but a verdict has not
been reached on all points involved.
The charge of immortality so far as
Mrs. Stockton is concerned is not sus-
tanned. An informal ballot was taken
which showed that the sense of the
council was that the evidence was not
sufficient to support the charge. The
council decided that. Mrs. Stockton's
word. until corroborated, was not suf-
ficient to convict Pastor Brown.
The second vote was on the charge
of intimidating young lady member
of the church. The evidence on this
charge was heard Thursday evening
and seemed to make deep impression
on the council. this impression was
confirmed in the executive session last
night. The church was thoroughly
canvassed and various members ex-
pressed themselves freely. One clergy
man. known up and down the coast, is
said to have expressed the belief that
DIR. Brown ought to have been shot for
his persecution of an innocent girl, in
turning an innocent episode to his own
advantage. The deliberations of the
council developed the fact that the
charges of intimidation made against
the pastor by young lady of the
church was among the most serious of
| all. The council is more nearly unani-
! nous on this point than upon any
other.
Stubborn efforts are being made to
convict the pastor on the charge of im-
morality. but it is believed a compro-
mise will be made on verdict of un-
ministerial conduct, although Brown
has several determined friends who
wish him yindicated on all the issues.

Mebane, n. G., March a. (Special)
The students of the Presbyterian High
School at this place have organized an

strong baseball team this season. Mr..
j. NJ. Oldham, ex-captain of the Uni-
yersity of North Carolina team, will
coach the team, which will have a mum
ber of games with some of the leading
teams in the State.
The question of moving the school

cided at the Presbytery in April. Work

Hillsboro. This store was destroyed by
fire several weeks ago.
Nothing can be learned here in re-
gard to the third party paper, which it

BY the Government Troops in
Nicaragua.
IN AN IMPORTANT BATTLE
The Fight Took Place Near the
Town of Pital.
AND WAS SEVERE AND BLOODY
The Troops From Honduras Will Soon
Join Those of Nicaragua and
viii Crush Out the
Rebellion.

Managua, Nicaragua, March IA, via
Galveston. The Nicaraguan govern
ment troops have won another impor-
tant victory over the forces Of the re-
bellious Leonists, and there is great re.
joicing here in consequence.
The battle took place at and about
Pital, not far from Momotombo. Be
tween 1000 and 5000 were engaged, the
fighting was severe, and the troops from
Leon, Chichegalpa and Chinandega, the
three strongholds of the Leonists,
numbering about 1900 men, were com
pletely routed, with the loss of about
200 killed and wounded. Oaly about
fifty of the government troops, which
numbered about 1000 men were killed
or wounded. The rebels were COM.
manded by Gen. Ortiz, the commander
in chief of the Leon forces; but Baca,
the rebel president, was at Leon, it is
believed, supervising the work of put
ting that city in as complete state of
defence as possible previous to the ar
rival before it of the government army
and the army which the government OF
Honduras has sent to the support of the
troops of President Zelaya.
The government troops were COM
manded by Generals Paiz and Bodan.
The success of the government troops
at Pital is all the more pleasing to the
inhabitants of this city as many of the
men engaged were Managuans, and Gen.
Paiz great favorite here.
The government troops are now con-
centrated for the advance upon Leon,
which, it is expected, viii commence in
q few days.
Although no official announcement
has been made on the subject, it is un-
derstood that the troops from Hondu-
ras will soon be in touch with those of
Nicaragua, and as both republics suffer
from the Vaccinations of the Cler-
icals, who are the mainsprings of the
present rebellion, they Will practically
be fighting for a common cause and the
result should not long be in doubt, al
though it is understood that Leon and
its neighborhood has been very strong
ly fortified and well provisioned.
