KILLED BY HIS BROTHER.
A Quarrel Which Was Followed by a
Fatal ShOOting-BOth the Men
We're COlOred.

OXFORD. PA, March IA murder was
committed at the railroad depot here at $50
o'clock this morning. Peter Watson, colored
was shot in the back by his brother. Harry
Watson with a gun. The load entered under
the right shoulder and penetrated the lung.
Watson was weak from loss of blood when
placed on the train that was to convey him
to Il Philadelphia hospital He grew weaker
and died before reaching the city.
These brothers had lived together for some
months, Peter providing for both families, as
Harry had been unable to secure work.
Harry appeared on the streets yesterday
afternoon intoxicated. During the night he
became wild, and beat his brothers wife.
When her husband came home he had a
quarrel with his brother for abusing the
woman. At the end of the fight Harry told
his brother he intended to shoot him.
At an early hour this morning Harry
tramped out to his fathers, in Lower Oxford
township, over mile away, and got a gun
He came home, loaded the gun, and followed
his brother up town on his way to work.
Peter was few feet ahead of Harry and after
tuey UuI cTOSScl INC IdllEOuu TdlStu
the gun to his shoulder. Peter saw the
movements of his brother and cried out,
Don't shoot don't shoot and started to
run up the street. Harry fired at his brother
and shot him under the right shoulder. He
coolIy turned, went home, loaded the gun
and started up the railroad.
The wounded man was able to walk to the
railroad station and sit on a step. When
Ticket Agent Lewis Terry went to the station
he found Watson. who told what had hap
pened, and he was put on the train for the
city, dying en- route.
Policeman Pierson and Will Ward got on
the train expecting they would see the muir
derer somewhere along the railroad. About
a mile north of town they discovered him
near the track. The train slowed up and the
officer and assistant jumped off and captured
Watson and the loaded gun. He was brought
to Oxford and given a hearing before Justice
Gallagher, who committed him to Jail. Con
stable Ingram took Watson to West Chester
this evening and placed him in prison. The
murdered man was married few months
ago and was Industrious.

A Japanese View.

MR.. EDITOR:-I heard the small
Sparta struggled against the great Per
sia, only for the independency; ant
it is same as to every nation, whether
bold or not Now, it seems to bt
strange that Hawaii struggles fol
throwing off the independency. Many
powers are willing to help Hawaii in
the prosperity increasing. But Hawaii
does not like some more prosperity
and, also, even her own independent
name. The world likes to acknowledge
Hawaii independent. Why can't Ha-
waii endure to acknowledge herself?
l think there would be much things to
do, if this Government endeavors to
rule the Islands more closely, instead
of trying to give up them to a territory
of the United States. They say Asiat-
les are not good. But what did they
do for Asiatics to be good, except the
excluding?
Upon my word, Japaneses in the Isl
ands are growing lower and lower at
the point of morality. If $4,000 Hawai-
ianized Japaneses should go back at
one time, How much it would be a con-
fusion of the national tranquility The
Japanese is most obedient at the sight
of every reasonable rule. The Japan
ese laborers would be the best sup
porters of the Islands under a careful
Government.
Well, what was ever considered of
improving the life of Japanese laborer
in this country, except only insulting?
I am very sorry for unYuling of $4,000
Japeneses. And I cannot find out why
the Government hates the people, in
stead of ruling them. NJ. NISHI.

STRANGE FISH.
Has No Gills and Acts Very
Ferociously.


Frank Davey, the photographer, is
the possessor of a very strange fish,
which, after having exhibited to a
number of friends while still alive. he
put into alcohol to keep. The fish is
known to some people here, but is
quite rare. Its home is in the deep
water, and, if the story told by the
Chinaman who procured it, namely,
that the catch was made in compare
lively shallow water just outside of the
harbor is to be depended on, the oc-
currence is indeed unusual
1t is about three inches in length
and, when alive, was of a bright yell
low hue. with spots of black here and
there. Its mouth is quite large and
the part of the body nearest is CORE
spondingly large. It then tapers off to
small tail. But the peculiar part is
that there are no gills or what are
popularity known as such. Where these
should be the skin is just as it is all
over the body AT a distance of about
half an inch and protruding from the
belly near the central part are what
might be called arms or legs. They
are jointed and have some 10 very fine
claws. These, together with another
/ pair farther anterior, the fish, when
alive, used TO walk about with on the
bottom of the jar in which it was con-
tanned.
It would show fight instantly when
approached, and gave every sign of
being endowed with the spirit Of the

Grief.
Desky's launch Star and the Myrtle
barge Aloha are now a mass of splin-
ters on the beach about three miles
from the entrance to Pearl Harbor. 1t
seems that on Saturday morning at
about 1890 o'clock C. Bellman and
Burt MeNicoll, with the permission of
the owner, took the launch for the pur-
pose of taking the Myrtle barge to
Pearl Harbor for a number of the boat
club boys. A stiff breeze was blowing
and the launch could not keep up
steam. AS they were nearing the har-
Dor the launch kept drifting inshore
and all efforts to keep her off proved
futile. The two men, seeing the use
lessness of the launch becoming more
and more apparent, jumped into the
barge and started to row, with the
launch in tow. This was likewise of nc
avail, and the boats kept drifting
farther and farther in.
Finally rain came on and it began
to blow. The boats got into the break
ers and smashed into each other. The
men jumped out and were fortunately
in far enough to be able to walk ashore
without much trouble.
There was nothing to be done and the
boats were abandoned, while Bellman
and McNicoll walked to town, arriving
late in the night.

nose and sending two currents of wa

When the fish was killed and placed
in alcohol the bright yellow disap-

II. B. NJ. S. Comus, H. H Dyke COM
mander, arrived in port yesterday
morning and anchored in the stream,
starboard of the Z. S. S. Bennington,
after a trip of II days from Esquimalt,
which port she left August 26th. As
vet. her movements have not been de-
cided on, nor will they be until mail
is received. The Comus is, however,
under orders to proceed to England to
pay of. Her stay here will be until
the 18th inst. at least.
The Comus was commissioned at
Sheerness on October l, 1895. Her ton
mage is $3.50 and l. H. P. 1000 n. D..
Her guns are 10 in number. Follow
ing is the list of officers: H. H. Dyke,
captain: ]. S. Luard, H. L. Watts
Jones. C. T. F. Pike, C. D. Raikes, c..
s. Wills. D. A Stainforth, lieutenants;
Rev T. Kane, B. A, chaplain and ma

The Comus came out from England
in March of 1896 and proceeded to
Esquimalt. She remained there 10
days and then went to Corinto. In
August of 1896 she was in Vancouver,
where her officers met Chinese Vice
roy Ii Hung Chang. In October of the
same year she started for Guayquil
and took four men from that place to
Valparaiso to be tried by court-mar-
tial on the charge of mutiny on the
high seas. The last thing the Comus
did before proceeding to this port was
to take from Clipperton Island the
crew of the wrecked merchantmen Kin
kari.
Upon arrival in port the Comus was
saluted as usual, and later on Captain
Schaefer called aboard in the Foreign
/ Office barge.
