EATS EGGS BY THE DOZEN.
Ernest Mnler's Strange Appetite for
Hen Fruit.


Ernest Miller of San Francisco is
the champion egg-eater Of the world.
He has Just proved mis- right to the
title by devouring seventy eight eggs
at one meal, says the New York Jour
nal This is by no means the extent
of Miller's powers He demonstrated
the fact as long ago as July, 1895, when
he ate this bill of fare in its entirety:
Twenty-eight eggs, plate OF soup,
huge dish of macatoni, large por-
ton Of stuffed veal, a three-pound
tenderloin steak loaf Of French brea1
and a liberal amount Of Neufchafei
cheese In addition to these solids
Miller drank three cups of coffee and
several glasses of water. 1t was the
first time he had given real evidence
of his enormous capacity for food.
Miller has no desire to pose as freak,
and indeed has none OF the appearance
Of one. There is nothing gross about
him. He is not stout but of athletic
frame and possessed of great strength.
1t is said no man in the employ of the
Sidy oil Scl Noll diiIloSO' iiie't hS1AiiStA'
for whom he works, can perform any
thing like the amount of labor that he
finds a matter of ease every day. In
dissecting a beef or any other animal
that is food for humanity he is in the
first rank of experts. Miller had al
ways given evidence of good appetite
but never really tested his power until
the enormous meal described was de-
voured by him, as the result of wager
with Joseph Werthimer, one of his en-
ployers. When Werthimer lost his bet
he concluded to try Miller in another
way, so he bet him s25 to s125O that
he couldn't walk to the San Francisco
| almshouse from Clay street and re-
turn, a distance of eleven and One-hali
miles, within three hours. During the
course of this walk he was to smoke
six strong cigars This feat Miller ac'
, complished easily. Il did not know
what l could do in the line of smok-
ing when l started" said he, in speak
ing Of the incident, "and so | pufted
away like a locomotive getting up
steam in a hurry, until l came to the
end of the second cigar. l had to
smoke them down to stump of less
than an inch. The walking part of the

AN EXPENSIVE EEL POT.
The Queer Office of = Great Govern
rncnt GunbOat.

L1cit
One of the NEST startling possibili-
ties of the new ships of the United
States navy was shown by the recent
accident to the battleship Texas at the
navy yard in New York, when the con-
nections of a sea-cock gave way, and
the engine rooms and some other COM
partments of the ship were flooded with
water from the East river.
When the water came pouring
through the hole in the ships bottom
the engineer in charge of the starboard
engine-room, which felt the first force
of the rush, closed the doors leading to
the port e1gine-Toom and then made a
hurried exit to the deck The water,
coming in through an aperture more
than 13 inches in diameter, spouted up
like a small geyser until the ship had
gone down as far as the mud under her
keel would permit, and then the flow
was only sufficient to make up for the
leakage from the engine room to the
other compartments.
The discipline on the ship was per-
feet, and, although all the electric lights
were put out, owing to the flooding of
the lighting apparatus, there was no
disorder 1t was not until after the
lights had been restored through con-
nections with the system on board the
battleship Indiana, which was lying
near the Texas, and the pumps had be-
gun bailing the ship, that the fact was
10 al hot al
could be put to other uses besides the
killing of people and the destruction of
property.
The engine room was full of wriggling,
squirming, twisting cells, to say moth
ing of large numbers of small fish,
which had been sucked in by the rush
ing water. AS an eel trap, in short, the
Texas was complete success.
While the pumps were at work the
surface OF the water was continually
stirred by the strangers who had in
vaded the precincts devoted to the ma
chinery, and the Tapping and jumping
of the fish, with the smooth, sinuous,
gliding motion Of the cells, made pic
ture under the glare Of the e lectric
lamps which those who saw it will not
soon forget.
After the water had been lowered in
the engine-room so that the crank-shaft
and crank-pits were visible, the disturb
ance became greater as, although the
pump exhausting the water had sue
tion aperture almost as large as the hole
through which the eels had made their
way into the ship, large number Of
them escaped the drought, and were
left stranded in the mud which had set
tied in the pits.
These were counted on as basis for
fish dinner for "Jacky," and although
there were not enough left to make a
meal for the 400 and odd men on board,
it was evident that, as one of the men
put it: ''There is no need for us to
starve, for all we have to do is to open
the seacock, take the bonnet off the
fange, and the engine room will catch
all the fish needed" Youths Compan-

Provo, March 2S.-J. D. Smith came
down from Price yesterday evening to
consult with Attorney King relative to
little legal difficulty existing between
him and S. H. Brownlee in which mat
ter the sheriff of Carbon county does
not see his way clear to act. On the
24th day of March, 1897, Mr.. Smith re-
covered a judgment in the Justices
court at Spring Glen against S. H.
BrOWnlee and c. l.. Maxwell for the
possession of certain premises and for
the sum OF $60G and costs for the dam
age done in holding the premises from
the plaintiff, which property is located
at Price. Attorney King Will endeavor
to secure an order out of the district
court commanding the sheriff to put
Mr. Smith in quiet and peaceable pos
session of the property.
An effort is being made by the attor-
neys for the Telluride Power company
to have the case of the Rio Grande
Western railway against that company
transferred to Salt Lake, it being urged
on the grounds that the parties inter-
eSted in the power company are nom
residents of the state and are entitled
to have hearing in the federal courts.
In opposition TO this claim, the attor-
neys for the railway call attention to
the fact that local parties are inter
ested in the case in connection with the
Colorado parties, notably Mayor Hol-
brook and w. w. Ferguson. They will,
therefore, urge that the matter come
before Judge Dusenberry, where a
speedy trial can he had. Should this be
the result, the case will be brought to
trial tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock,
and will be watched with extraordinary
interest by both the people of Utah
county and elsewhere.
In this case the Rio Grande Western
bring suit to condemn a right of way
over certain property held by w. w.
Ferguson and the Telluride Power COM
pany, situated in Provo canyon, and
upon which the latter company claim
to be about to begin work upon man.

serve force for electrical purposes and

ing under cultivation large tracts of

pany above named who are about to
begin work upon their extension of the
Park City branch are under the neees-
sity of running over the premises of
the power company, as the grade
around them is SO steep that they are
unable to construct a lawful standard
road.
This route is ostensibly to be made
the through line to the reservation, and
the company desire to avoid that per
cent of grade which obtains from Clear
Greek TO Soldiel Summit, which brings
a responsibility upon the railway which
they do not desire to assume. Brown,
