Living Progeny of Fish.

A doubt that has troubled scientists
for years-whether there exists vivi-
parous kind of fish, one that gives birth
to its young in living state-was def
nitely settled in the affirmative the
other day, when the city hall fountain
Of the capital of Arizona territory was
cleaned out. In turning the water out
of the big cemented basin, where gold
fish variety of the carp family has long
disported itself for the edifcation of
the Phoenix nurse girl and the Mari
copa county hobo, it was found that
many of the fish had given birth to pro-
geny fully formed and ready to dart
in search of. food at the moment of COM
ing into their watery world. Others
had given birth to tiny creatures that
were globular in shape, except for the
protruding eyes and nascent tail fin,
that could scarcely be seen without
strong glass. From all the evidences.
it was clear that the cleanup had been
made during the breeding season, yet
there was no sign of fish roe or eggs.
Many specimens of the strange young
fish were collected, and will be shipped
to different experts, one lot going to
the Smithsonian institution. n.-Chicago

SERGEANT MOORE HOME
Remained in Cuba with His Regiment
After Being Discharged.

Remained In Cuba with His Regiment
After Being Discharged.
The first hero of the battle of Santiago
to return to Morristown is Patrick
Moore, who is visiting his parents on
Albeit avenue. Moore is a sergeant in
the Eighth U. S. Infantry, and notwith-
standing his discharge was granted in
Cuba he remained with his regiment
until attacked by fever. He expects to
re enlist. Moore's discharge, although
given for expiration of term of service,
is an unusually strong document, de-
scribing his conduct as excellent and
ranking him as first class marksman.
Moore is given to modesty and is reluc-
tant to speak of his experience in Cuba.
Sergeant Moore tells of private in his
company who certainly deserved some
recognition for true exhibition of
heroism. The young soldier, Robert
Vlerbone by name, was with Sergeant
Moore in the battle at Ell Caney on July
1. While shots were flying thickest and
with an utter disregard for surrounding
danger Vlerbone went nearly hundred
yards in advance of his regiment and
carried one after another wounded
Americans back to place of shelter
from Spanish bullets until nearly score
of his comrades were by his arms re-
moved from a perilous position. Several
officers saw this remarkable exhibition
Of nerve, but none deigned to speak
word of praise, and thus this young
soldier. who would be regarded as hero
in the eyes of the world, is known only
to few of his fellow-soldiers. And
during the battle before Santiago there
were many acts of heroism that have
passed unnoticed except by the hero's
comrades.

Memorial Hospital Patient Who Speaks
Four Languages.
One of the most interesting patients at
present domiciled in the Morristown
Memorial Hospital is Edwardos De Will
sondo, Cuban by birth, but for the
past three years a resident of New York
city. He had been spending some time
in Morristown and few days ago
started for New Yoak on a wheel. At
Milburn he was prostated by the sun,
and has not yet recovered from the
effects Of this experience.
Previous to coming to the American
metropolis De Wilsondo, spent fourteen
years in Europe, where he learned Italian
and French, which language he speaks
as fuently as he does Spanish and
English.
He father was in the ten year war in
Cuba, and one brother was killed in the
late war on tine island. a second
brother is still in the Cuban army serv-
ing with Garcia's division.

The eighteenth annual reunion of the
survivors of the Fifteenth New Jersey
Volunteers was held in Rockaway yes
terday, and the reception given the
gallant old veterans was royal one.
Flags and bunting were generally dis
played and the town made the occasion a
holiday. An address of welcome was
made at the soldiers monument by
G. R. Gerard, principal of the Rockaway
public school, to which Col. E. w.
Davis of the Fifteenth responded in a
happy and patriotic manner.
An adjournment was made to Stickle's
Hall where the business meeting was
held, called to order by President Gun
derman, who carried the regimental
colors from Spottsylyania until they
were deposited in the State House at
Trenton. The usual routine business
was transacted and the following officers
elected for the ensuing year: President,
Captain Slater of Co. D; first vice presi-
dent, Albert W. Whitehead, Co. G.;
second vice president, W. Fl. H. Wyckoff;
secretary, l. W. Gordon, Co. l; treasurer,
W. Fl. Cavity, Co. Il, and an Executive

TRE COMING GOLF Event.
Many Entries Already Received
From Ambitious Players.

Morris County Club to be the Scene of a
week of social Gayety-Arrangement
for the international Contest Completed
Tying Probable Winner.
There is every reason to believe that
the coming international amateur golf
matches, to be played on the Morris
County links September 10 to II inclu-
sive, will bring into competition the best
performers in the country. It is report
ed that 1872 entries have already been re-
ceived, and of course this number will be
increased. In view of this fact it will be
necessary to use the utmost dispatch in
order that all may have an opportunity
to qualify on the opening day. Although
the tournament is still some days off, all
arrangements have been perfected to in
sure the success of the event.
In the rear of the club house tent
60x3O feet will be used as gentlemen's
cafe and in front Of the house one S0x40
feet is to contain a restaurant,
which will be in charge of W. F. Day,
the we'll known Morristown caterer. 1t
is expected that at least ten thousand
persons will oe in attendance during the
five days play and that the event will
be remarkable one socially as well as
from golf standpoint.
The championship is open to all am
ateurs of clubs belonging to the associa-
ton and the victorious contestant will
retain for the year the Havemeyer cup.
He will also receive gold medal, and a
silver medal will be presented to the
second man. This will be the fourth in
ternational tournament, the first having
been held at Newport in 1895, when G.
B. Mcdonald of Chicago was the sue
cessful player. He was defeated the fol-
lowing year at Shinnecock Hills by Fl.
j. Whigham of Chicago, who won the
championship last year also, at Wheaton
links.
Since the last contest at Chicago sew
eral important changes have been made
in the rules which make the play more
severe test. Many of the contestants are
indulging in daily practice at the links
Of the Morris County Golf Club, and
it will not be surprising if some new
records are established. There are
many enthusiasts who look upon Tying,
the Morris county man, as a probable
championship winner.

located under the trees, recalling old
times and experiences. At 2 o'clock
Colonel Davis again called the audience
to order under the welcome shade of
spreading naples, calling upon the Rev.
Mr.. Reeve to offer prayer.
Congressman Pitney, the first speaker,
was greeted with hearty cheers when in
troduced. He referred to the honor
conferred upon him by an election as an
honorary member of the Fifteenth Regi-
mental Association and the pleasure it
afforded him to be present at another
reunion. The speaker spoke earnestly
on the spirit of patriotism that was
shown in the brave manner in which the
Fifteenth boys had left home and loved
ones to fight for their country-a spirit
which had been transmitted to their sons
who had so recently given their hearty
service in upholding the honor of the
United States in war which was a just
and righteous one. Mr.. Pitney, in con-
clusion, emphasized the necessity of our
country being at all times prepared to
maintain its honor; that while he was
not for war the fact was apparent that
the only way to ensure lasting peace
was to be fully prepared for war, and
not to be compelled to rush the prepara
tions of struggle ordinarily occupying
occupying years into less than half a
year.

FIREMEN WORKED HARD.
But Could Not Save Barns and Stables
Sire Brothers Loss &12 900.

But Gould Not Save Barns and Stables
Sire Brothers Loss S12 900.
The necessity Of a first class depart
ment, even though it be volunteer in ma
ture, was demonstrated yesterday when
the local firemen, after several hours of
hard work, succeeded in saving the West
End Hotel and the buildings in the
vicinity. The fire, the origin of which
is not known, started in barn at the rear
of the hotel owned by Thomas Lowe. By
the time the alarm had been sent in at 7 Is
a. M, and the department responded,
the flames had gained considerable head
headway, so that serious conhagration
threatened. The dry condition of the
building made it an easy victim to the
hungry flames, which, fed by the hay in
side, made it almost impossible to get
the fire under control.
The blaze had soon communicated to
one of the barns of Sire Brothers, the
Speedwell avenue horse dealers, and this
building, too, was burned. The stables
and office on Speedwell avenue were par
TALLY destroyed, but all of the twenty
one. horses quartered there were saved, as
were three that had been in the West
End stables.
Sire Brothers lost sixty tons of hay,
two car loads of oats, a large quantity of
corn, and all their slejghs, as well as
lot of harness, were burned. The loss
will reach 1000, covered by insurance.
Mr.. loves loss is about s., 900, partially
covered by insurance.
The Humane's engine was the first to
get water, there having been some delay
in getting horses for the Washington.
The Chemical was used effectively to
prevent the fire from communicating to
the hotel and the Lounsbury barn. For
more than two hours the department
worked in the heat of the sun and fire,
with Chief Fox directing their labors.
and detail of men remained and played
stream on the burning hay and grain
during the entire day.
There were two casualties early in the
in the day. Louis Dempsey of Wash
ington Engine Company was severely
burned on the right hand and forearm.
He was standing on q ladder in front of
a door which burst open, permitting the
flames to issue forth. He was attended
by DIR. Wilkinson. The second victim
was Amasa Kaggen, driver of Resolute
Hook and Ladder truck. He was struck
by a stick while trying to remove some
of the debris, and sustained sprained
wrist. DIR. McCarroll bandaged the in
jured member.
Although the fire began early in the
day there was large and varied crowd
in evidence. An amusing incident in
connection with, or rather as result of
the conHagration. was the haste with
which the italian colony hustled their
belongings into Flagler street, though
that vicinity was not at any time in
danger.
