a matter Of fact, they came pretty near living
up to that requirement. All the old pilot-boats
bore certain family resemblance. They were
generally two-masted schOoners, about - or ~
feet in length. and they cost on an average
SIS 600 or $4,000

in partnership by five or six pilots each partner

AK INTERSTATE COMPETITION.
The rivalry between the New-York and New
Jersey pilots in the old days. before the consoh-
daton and pooling Of interests. was extremely
keen As a consequence OF the first come hrst
served" principle, the pilot-boats used 70 scud
far to the east to he the first TO hail the in
coming liners. This practice did not altogether
please the commanders Of the said liners, for
they had to feed the pilot for some time before
they had any use for his professional services.
But It was not on account Of any delicate con-
sideration for the wishes Of the commanders
that the pilots eventually gave up the practice

II WAS nothing TO him how hard the wind blew
so long as It blew offshore. OF course. he often
got a ducking when being put aboard ship In
q heavy sea and occasionally a pilot would be
lost while making the transfer. But what was
most feared was d lee shore and no sea-room,
and many a pilot boat has gone ashore under
those conditions Next 10 the lee shore the pilot
most feared a heavy fog. When the fog was

A FATHERS CRIME.
a Chicago Man shoots -Four of His chill
dren. Three of Whom Are Dead,
Then Commits suicide.

CHICAGO. Nov. 19.-Carrying out a
plot he had apparently planned with
deliberation, Cornelius Corcoran, FRI
day shot four of his children. killing
two Of them, and then ended his own
life. The tragedy occurred at his
home 54O1 Dearborn street. The dead:
Cornelius Corcoran, 49years old; Mar
garet Corcoran. s years old, died at
Mercy hospital; John Corcoran, Z years
old, died at Mercy hospital; Lizzie
Corcoran, aged 8, died at midnight
The wounded: Kate Corcoran, IA
years old, may die. If she RECEIVERS
she will lose her left eye.
The police are convinced the man
was insane. Corcoran had lived with
his seven children in fat building at
54Ol Dearborn street for a month past.
To all outward appearance he was
kind and considerate parent. For
some days he had plotted for the death
of his children, and he nearly accom-
plished his purpose Tuesday night.
Hearing the children cough he
arose and in the dark admin
istered laudanum to five of
them, Clifford, Timothy. John.
Margaret and Lizzie The first two
were removed to the Mercy hospital,
where Timothy died the next day. Cor
coran exhibited such profound grief
over the affair that the police and the
coroner thought the giving of laud-
anum was mistake.
Baked in his purpose to end the
lives of the young ones, Corcoran, it is
thought, made deliberate plans for his
act of Friday.

OPPOSED TO TRUSTS.
The National Grange Will Mako an En-
deavor to Secure Proper Legislation
Against Combna, ions.

SPRINGFIELD, O., Nov. 16. 6.-There is
every indication that all important
resolutions submitted to the national
grange for adoption will be based upon
the grand masters address, declaring
war upon the trusts in no uncertain
manner and carrying with them
suggestions as to the measures
necessary to secure the proper
legislation to put them out of the busi-
ness. While the grange is on record
in this particular, yet it is believed
even more radical action will be taken
this year along this particular line.
Reports from various officers indi-
cate that the grange is growing both
in membership and influence.
