Rider Haggard's Brother Tells of .
Most Remarkable Battle
In the Air.

Lieut.. Col. Andrew C. p. Haggard, an
elder brother Of Rider Haggard, the
novelist, recently returned from a trip
to Newfoundland, and tells of a re-
markable sight he saw while sitting on
the seashore with q guide with whom
he had been fishing for salmon In the
Terra Nova river. They had been
watching for some time the evolutions
of a white-headed eagle, called by the
Observation-Disclosures a grip" After soar
ing round in several circles above and
in front of them the eagle suddenly
dashed down into a pool of water near
them on the beach and reappeared hold
ing an enormous lobster in his talons.
1t was an old lobster, with a hugo
claw, white with barnacles. The eagle
had him clutched firmly around tho
back, and at first the huge claw hung
helplessly down, the barnacles shining
white in the sunlight. This was only
for a second, though. The ripples on
the recently disturbed pool had not yet
died away when the captive lobster sud-
denly awoke to the seriousness of the
situation, and to think was to act. Up
moved the great white barnacled claw
until 1t seized the eagle round the neck.
There was a furious fiuttering and beat
ing of the eagles wings, a melancholy
squawk from his choking throat, and
then, tumbling and rolling head over
heels in the air in a confused mass,
down came the eagle and lobster again
splash back into the pool.
The two spectators of the scene
rushed forward, thinking that they
could perhaps in some way secure both
combatants, for the splashing of the
conflict continued in shallow water.
But they had hardly time to pick up
a stone apiece to throw at the eagle
before the lobster, feeling himself At
home again, let go his hold. With his
neck all torn and devoid of feathers,
away flew the bedraggled eagle, in most
melancholy guise, to a neighboring
cliff, while the lobster, to give Col. Hag-
CARDS own words, "still brandishing
his enormous claw in defiance, re-
manned smiling at the bottom of the
pool"

Is There Danger ?

A citizen of this place, who has had con-
siderable experience as a practical engineer,
has been investigating the new Fitchburg
railroad bridge and its effect on high water.
He estimates that the western arch alone,
the one completed this week, will cut off
600 feet of space which, with the old bridge,
was actually filed with water at the time,
of highest water, as in the spring of 1895.
Let the eastern arch cut off an equal
amount Of space, and 1900 feet are gone,
space which accommodated stream 100
feet wide and II feet deep. Let this or
a fraction of it be added to the water
which surged into the canal in 1895, and
the business section of Bellows Falls would
not be valued very highly. This bridge is
Of solid masonry and would probably
stand the strain, but what about the village
There is talk to the effect that the east
channel is to be blasted out so as to give
ample room for the water, but no one
seems to know for certain whether this is
to be done. The bailiffs and the majority
of citizens seem to be borrowing no trouble
in the matter, and probably take it fol
granted that the Fitchburg engineer knows
what he is about.

the character OF the bright and vivacious
American girl is particularly apropos, and
natural and realistic stage production
must perforce appeal to all followers Of
contemporaneous history.
A. @. Scammon, an experienced and
energetic purveyor of theatrical amuse-
ments, realizing the possibilities of the sub
iect, interviewed several American drama
fists, and the result, Judging from advance
copies of extended criticism, is certainly
flattering to bis managerial foresight. He
states that this production has received per-
sonal supervision, every detail being at
tended to with unscrupulou, fidelity. A
strong cast will be seen, headed by George
F. Hall, virile and versatile, the successful
exponent Of legitimate comedy, and for the

Death of John Putnam.

John Putnam, prominent business man
of Bellows Falls, died Saturday evening,
in the fortieth year of his age, after an i'll
ness Of two weeks. Mr.. Putnam, who had
been great sufferer from asthma, was
taken sick with bronchitis, but his death
was due to clot of blood which interfered
with the action of the heart
He was a native oil Grafton, but for the
past twelve years had made his home in
Bellows Falls, where he was engaged in the
grocery business with his brother, William
Putnam, on Russell street, taking possess
sion OF this store about year ago and con-
Quoting it with marked success. He had
,, previously been in the grocery stores of M.
M. Whitney and c. E. Whitman, and for
time also was in the employ of the ex-
press company.
He was educated at Vermont Academy
and for some years followed the profession
of teaching.
He left an aged father and mother, Mr.
and Mrs. j. H. Putnam, three brothers
and wife and five children, for whom
sincere sympathy is universally expressed.
He was a member of Golden Cross Com
mandary and the Knights of Pythias, and
in his bushes, and social relations enjoyed
the friendship and esteem of a large circle
of acquaintances.
The funeral service, following prayer at
the house, was held at o'clock yesterday
afternoon at the Methodist church, to
which the deceased belonged, Rev. F. w.
Lewis being the officiating clergyman. The
burial was at Oak Hill cemetery.
