The April number of that in

of science and history, and does so
In such lucid way that it makes

announces that he will be able to

DOWN THE RIVER ON A STURGEON.
An Exciting Ride Until the Fish Was

Deachcd on Sand Bar.
Among the many incidents of the
olden time that interest us now
DR.. j. Russell Hawkins tells us one
that happened in the James river at
the falls of Richmond in the year
1770. He assures us that many of
Iho Leading citizens of Richmond at
that time wore eyewitnesses to the
fact, and that he had it straight from
them.
1t was concerning Martin Hawkins,
an unclo of the doctor. This uncle
was great hunter and fisherman.
in those days tho James river was
we'll stocked with shad. In May
they came up from tho sea, and
hundreds of people, fond of the
sport, would assemble on tho rocks
in midstroam along tho falls, and
with dip nets would supply them
selves with all they wanted. Our
hero was at his post, watching for a
catch, when along came an immense
sturgeon and stopped to rub his
sides against tho rock, according to
the habit of surgeons, when Mr..
Hawkins concluded that if he could
only get his hands into the gills of
tho monster he might succeed in
landing him. Accordingly he crept
to tho side of the rock, stopped over
and began rubbing tho sides of the
fish near tho tail and proceeded
quietly up toward tho head until at
last the gills were reached.
With n sudden thrust the hands
were sent home to the very inner
jaws of tho fish, whom it gave n luroh
that jerked the fisherman from the
rock. Ho fell astride that fish s
back, but his hands were held as in
o viso. For n moment all was sur
prise and interest; then both fish
and rider sank in the deep, roaring
waters of the food. The spectators
were aghast with fright. They
thought their friend was lost. But
after few moments fish and fisher
man came to tho surface about 100
yards down the river and remained
at the surface long enough to
breathe, then sank again. A mo-
mont later they rose again, and then
again and again as the waters bore
them away. They passed under
Mayo's bridge, half mile from tho
starting point.
People along tho shore became OK
cited and gave chase as best they
could. In tho meantime the fish was
boing exhausted, and tho rider had
discovered it and began to try TO

MIR. HARRITY'S PLAN.
What IL Said About 1t by Democrats
in Congress.


A statement made in a New York paper,
in connection with an interview with
Chairman Harrity, that a majority Of the
democratic national committee being
sound money" men, they would adopt
drastic measures and weed out all silver
sixteen to-one delegates who have threat
cred to bolt, has been read with interest
by democrats in Congress today
The silver men ridicule the idea of such
a plan to capture the convention succeed
ing. They say that they going to con-
troll the convention, ind. therefore, will
not consider tie question of boiling, and
that any plan to keep out of the convention
duly accredited delegates will fail.
Senator Jones Of Arkansas said this at
ternoon that he did not doubt that some Of
the gold democrats would favor resorting
TO the drastic measures suggested, but
that such plan could not receive the
sanction Of the national committee.
Most Of the gold men on the commit
tee would. in my Judgment" he said. re
pudiate such a plan. Among them are
many men of honor who would be above
such course. 1 think those who propose
1t will find that they could not succeed
and will conclude not to make the attempt
Some OF the managers on that side, as
has been shown by their course in some of
the states. are capable of such a course,
but honorable gentlemen who agree with
them on finance would not lend themselves
to II.
They could not succeed anyhow. The
silver men are going to be too strong in

c HANCES FOR FORD
He viii Probably Be Sentenced Ee1f
Tuesday
Little or No Hope for a New Trial
and an Appeal Not
Likely.

1t is more than probable that Irwin Ford
the convicted murderer of elsie Kreelo
will be sentenced next Tuesday morning.
1t is also more than probable that the pris-
oner will pay the penalty for his horrible
crime some day late next month.
For a New Trial.
Messrs. Arthur Peter and r. Newton
Donaldson, counsel for Ford. this after
noon filed the formal motion for a new
trial. 1t is as follows:
Now comes the defendant. by his at
torneys, and moves the court to set aside
the verdict rendered in this case. and to
grant a new trial therein, for the follow
irg reasons, to wit:
list. That owing to the shortness of time
between the assignment Of counsel and the
date OF trial insufficient opportunity was
given counsel for the defense to prepare
for trial. and the court erred in overruling
their motion for a continuance.
I'D. That the court erred In overruling
the challenges, for cause. of certain Jurors,
as duly excepted to, at the time OF the
trial.
I'D That the court erred in admitting tes-
timony on behalf OF the United States as
duly objected and excepted to at the time
of the trial"
District Attorney Birney stated to a Star
reporter that the motion will be heard by
Judge Cole at 10 o'clock rext Tuesday
morning. That the judge will promptly
oNerTuie IL tnere Is not the ena0Ow OF q
doubt. said Mr.. Birney. II the motion 10
then overruled he will ask Judge Cole to
at once impose sentence. The young men
assigned to defend Ford. he said have
done everything that could possibly be
done. and have performed their rather
unpleasant duty In a most creditable and
able manner.
Little Hope.
Mr.. Donaldson said that he and his as
sociate have little. IL any, hope of securing
new trial for the prisoner. and for him
self he felt that nothing could be gained by
taking the case to the Court of Appeals.
Whether II will be carried there he thinks
will depend upon the date of the mans
execution. Shorld Judge Cole sentence him
to be hanged about the LIST OF July, IL
would probably induce them to conclude
not to carry the case to the appellate court,
as not much more than that delay in the
execution could be obtained by such a
course
1t is the general impression about the
City Hall that Judge Cole will sentence
Ford TO die the last week in June or the
first In the following month.
