Tobacco i'm a Cricket Ball.

A cricket yarn which is having Il fine
in Australia refers to the use made
of a cricket ball by some prisoners who
were allowed to exercise in the yard
of a country gaol.
Drives over the gaol wall became SO
frequent that the prisoners did little
else but field and throw the ball back
again.
AT last the governor became SuSpi-
ciOus, and insisted OF examining the
ball. 1t was of India rubber and re-
markably light for its size. The eN-
PLANTATION was that the inside was
composed of tobacco.
The halves of the ball screwed to-
! gether neatly, and it is now said to be
one Of the treasures of the gaol muse

Complete mystery still enshrouds the
falling of the staging ut II. B. Little's
coal wharf on Monday. Oct. s, by which
one man lost his life and others were in
jured. TIE witnesses SO far examined by
Coroner Lincoln give absolutely no clue
TO the cause Of the sad disaster
A number Of experts, besides many
others interested, have Tor days been
hunting and searching, trying 10 lind
some reason for the stage falling, ana
with no results. All alike confess that

90 at IL to gain n single point.
They all know that the staging fell,
and with IL the shears that held in posi-
tion the stage from which one man was
hurled into eternity. They know tCo,
that tho two steel guy ropes running
from the top of the shears and holding
thom in place never failed TO do Their
duty, for long after tho accident they
were intact, and still attached 10 the top
of the shears and prevented that portion
of them from reaching the ground.
More than this, they know that one OF
the hugo legs to tho shears was snapped
into three pieces as II 10 had been tooth
nick. and that the other ono was split
t,nnuttudinally. and further; tfat- tho
stage was securely made fast to the big
shoars.
These things are plain and evident. Anv
one can SEQ them for himself III he viii

fatality. But beyond that they know
nothing .
Tbe most natural question in tho world
to ask is, "How did IL happenr Where
are all the people that saw ity The crews
on the barges, the men on the docks, the
engineer that hostud the coal bucket To the
stage? The strange part of 1t is right here
that none of all these in sight OF the
staging saw the accident when ii occur

way.
