THE MACKEREL.
Fishermen Think They viii BE PIen-
tiful This Year.

The Ella nj. Doughty to Fit Out for Juggling
in the Bay-Some Good Catches.
The schooner Ella M. Doughty Captain
Warren A. Doughty, has fitted out for
hand line mackerel fishing in the Bay of
st. Lawrence. Messrs. Sargent, Lord &
Skillings have fitted her out for four
months trip. This return to the old
fashioned manner of catching mackerel
is arousing considerable interest among
the Portland fishermen. The Doughty
will take no seines, relying entirely ur-
on the hand lines and jigger hook. Each
man of the crow will handle three or four
lines. All the fishing is done over the
side of the schooner, and when the
maokerel are taking the bait well they
can be hauled in as fast as the hooks can
be thrown into the water.
Quite large number Of the Gloucester
men have discarded seines and are
jigging.
1t is probably thirty years since the
last hand liner of the Portland mackerel
fleet adopted the seines. Many of the
fishermen believe that the disoarding of
the seines will encourage the mackerel to
return.
The fishermen are much encouraged ct
the outlook for the mackerel this year.
They think it promises to be the best
season for five or six years. The schooner
Sir Knight of this port, landed 1850
barrels in Boston Saturday, having
seined them off Block Island.
On Tuesday morning the schooner
Flora Niokerson of Boothbay. Captain
Eben Lewis, landed in Boston $50 barrels
of fresh mackerel. They brought eleven
cents apiece; and the whole catch must
have netted over fifteen hundred dollars.

Born of a family, proverbial for It's
hospitality and brightness, Alexandra
Meaux, some fifty years ago, first saw
the light in the rural district, known
as Les lies John Cole in the parish OF
Vermilion. There breathing in boy
hood days the atmosphere of a delight
full climate, whilst receiving the cares
of parents, descendants, of that great
acadian race, young Alexandra grew
up in habits of honesty. frugality and
simplicity. It was at an early age,
somewhere about twelve, that he met,
at a cotton gin, with a serious accident
which necessitated the amputation OF
his left arm. His loving parents al
though of limited means, then decided
| to Mace him at st. Charles College,
| Grand Coteau, La, where he received
| the education of which, he subsequent
" made such good use in the school
room. About the age of tw~enty-one,
he commenced teaching school IN his
immediate neighborhood. He was
called to his reward on May 10Th 1896

Prisoners Fight.

Last Sunday morning when Deputy
Sheriff Mouton entered the Jail to feed
the prisoners he witnessed a fight be-
tween two inmates Of the prison that
would have done credit to professionals
of the prize ring. When the officer
opened the steel cages Debaptiste and
Dorsey, both negroes, engaged IN 0
fight which eliminated in the serious
wounding of Dorsey, who was found to
be suffering from wounds about the
breast and neck, inflicted it is thought,
by a pointed piece of tin broken off a
tin bucket which the combatants had
used as instruments of warfare in their
| fierce encounter. Coroner Gladu was
called to attend to the wounded man
whose life hung in the balance. The
NEGROES refused to give cause OF
the fight, but expressed a desire to
renew hostilities if given an opportEni-
ty. Dorsey is one Of the prisoners
brought here from St. Mary and
Depaptiste is charged with having as
saulted and robbed the young German,
John Willinski, some months ago near
the railroad yards. It is safe to say
that the prisoners now in Jail are the
most desperate gang Of criminals ever
incareerated there. The jaiIer must
