Perfectly" answered the senior,
striving to control his anger, "but,
chief, 1t is pity that you did not see
well to tell me this before. Had it not

POOLING THE vULTURES.
But the Birds Soon Found Out Their
Mistake.

Mistake.
Some sports recently took place ut n
station in Upper Burinah, one OF the
events being what Is popularity known
rs a "victoria cross race"-that is, the
competitors have to ride some distance,
taking two or three hurdles on their
way, to point where there are ar
ranged number Of figures, shaped like
human bodies then they dsmount fire
round of blank cartridges, pick up u
dummy each, and race back, says Pear-
sons Weekly.
In this case, after the sports were
over, the dummies were left on the
ground, and in about haitian hour after
the ground was deserted noticed u v'll-
ture settle on the ground close to the
dummies; in about another five minutes
more than 30 had collected
The birds seemed much puzzled as
they carefully inspected each lay figure,
walking from one to the next all along
the line, and eventually, after sitting in
n circle for short time, flew away
The birds must have discovered the
dummies by sight, though have often
heard that yultur,s rely on their sense
OF smell as well.

looked for by those interested in the trade.
The mining and carrying companies report
new orders at tide water very light, but 10 is
claimed that prices are not far from the Sep
tcmber circular There is authority for tho
statement that most Of the coal that has been
moved in the last three months and is being
shipped at present was sold fully 25 cents per
ton below the September basis The cutting
of the prices has been done by individual
operators and through jobbers There is
plenty of coal at the West and better prices
have been secured than in any tide water
market. Coal has been accumulating at the
East but continued cold weather is expected
to relieve the market. 1t can be safely
assumed that although the agreement between
the anthracite coal presidents nomually ex-
pires ON January l. 1897, that no change will
be made in the conduct of the trade. Tho
agreement runs on subject to thirty days

Caspar Hartlein Met His Death without
Evidence of Fear.


HARTFORD, Dec 3-Caspar Hartlein
was hanged in the state prison at Wealth
ersfield shortly after midnight this morn
ing for the murder of Miss Louise Marie
Treble, aged 35, at South Manchester,
Feb. 30 last. The execution was the sec

gallows, and the method proved a COM
plete success. Death was practically in
Simultaneous and painless Hartleins neck
was broken by the fall All who witnessed
1t pronounced it an expeditions and hui
name execution.
Hartleins demeanor was calm and fear
less throughout, and the joviality which
has characterized him since his incarcera-
tiOn in the condemned cage did not desert
him at the end. Throughout the last day
that Hartlein spent on earth he made
merry with his death watch. Not a muscle
mas quivered nor faltering sound came
from his lips, and, though fully realizing
that he was standing on the threshold OF
eternity, his only comment was that the
time approached too slowly.
He spent yesterday almost constantly in
reading his Testament To Warden Wood.
bridge he has spoken frequently of the
crime, and expressed sorrow for his act,
and said he longed for death, because
will then be able to meet Louise again"
Hartlein, who was 40 years old, worked
on the farm owned by Miss Trebbe and her
married sister. He repeatedly asked Miss
Treble to marry him, and she as often re.
fused. The murder occurred after her
final refusal of his suit.
