THEY NEVER HAPPEN.
Accidents Like the tnsune, son.ss and IpWriften Poems That Don't
 Get Into the Papers.

Probably a thousand times day in a great city like Chicago an accident is
 so narrowly averted that the spectators
 shuddar whenever they think Of it. 1 Street ears miss collisions with railroad trains by the smallest margins: yachts 1 keel over to a point where another feather would eapsize them; men and l women just manage to leap out of the way of a Plunging runaway; people l look death in the eye for a fraction of
 a second and escape by the exercise
 of almost superhuman eNertiOns Ks l the greatest poems are those which have never been written, so it may be
 said that the greatest accidents are
 those which never happen. \ few
 weeks ago whole train of empty cars
 which was being prepared for the use
 of great picnic party plunged into 1 the river through an open draw. Prob
 ably every resident of Chicago has
 thought, with shudder, of the prob able consequences if the accident had
 occurred 15 minutes later, after the
 cars had been filled by the women aad children who made up the greater part
 of the pleasure seekers.
 One night lately street car accident
 was barely averted, which, while it
 rislled the life of only one person, was
 thrilling in the extreme to those who
 watched it. A North State street ear
 was pulling out for the barn. The fall 1 power was turned on and if was rum
 ming at the rate of at least 20 miles an
 hour. As it neared Willow street a
 tashionabiy dressed woman ran cut
 iato the street in pursuit of pet dog
 h the middle of the car track, direct l I,4 in front of the fast coming car, she
 stopped and bent over to capture her
 pet. The motorman's gong was ring l ing wildly; he had reversed the cur
 rent and was throwing all his weight on the brakes. Still the ear dashed on
 relentlessly over the slippery tracks; l still the woman, unconscious of her 1 danger, leaned over her pet dog. The 1 few passengers on the car broke into
 screams of warning. One woman eoy- l cred her face with her hands and
 sobbed. It seemed certain that the 1 woman in front must be run down and 1 probably crushed to death. Just at
 the supreme moment d bicycle rider
 coming like the wind, dashed by the car and struck the woman a hard blow
 on the head, crying out as he did so.
 She looked up. caught the glare of the
 headlight in her eyes, took one step l backwards, and keeled over in dead faint. The side of the car escaped her 1 by a few inches.
 When the motorman and conductor
 came back to where they had seen her
 fall they were both in a cold perspira- tion. As for the woman herself, when
 she came to her senses she declared in
 no uncertain language her conviction that the man who had struck her was
 rude person indeed. But all the oth-
 CTS felt glad for once in their lives that
 the .seoreher" was still abroad in the land Chicago Tribune.

EEL LAM ON THE DELAWARE.
Hungry Pike Chase Thousands of the Lively WriegIers Out of
 the Water.

Feels caused jam in the raceway to the feeder of the Delaware and Rari- tan canal al Scuddei's Falls one day lately. Chased by a school of Dela- ware creek pike, apparently the entire June batch of eels al the falls ran ID the swift overflow to escape death in the sharp jaws ef the pike, and clogged the siN-foot stream until it oyertlowed into the yard of Edward Harding, ad- joining the so-called raceway
 Thousands of eels were killed in the jam. thousands were left high and dry i in Harding's yard when the pike re- treated and hundreds of pike were picked up on land after having jumped from thc stream in their frantic ef- forts To cross the leaders of their school and feed on the young eels
 The sight of millions of eels jammed in one huge, wriggling mass, struggling to escape death from their regular July prosecutors. the pike, while many were being crushed to death by their fellows because unable to advance, coupled with the sight of thousands of shiny, jumping. frantic hungry pike, ali packed so tight in swift, shallow cur rent as to turn the waters over q two foot embanllment, was one calculated to excite the most phlegmatic follower of the rod and reel. Harding says the fight for life lasted half an hour.
 Although almost too much overcome by the sight to realize his opportunity Harding gathered enough pike to pie kle for his winters supply, besides seven bushels to sell, and has enough young eels in his yard to fertilize his garden. Had he retained his presence of mind, Harding says, he could have caught enough pike with scoop shovel in half hour to supply the popula- tion of the city of Trenton.
 But l was excited, and only got bar'l, said Harding, sorrowfully. An I wouldn't ha' got them, don't guess, ef they hadn't ha' jumped in my yard in their efforts to git at tn cells. Ono what I'll do with tn eels. They're June's, an too small fer anYthin' 'cept fertilizer, tho they're pretty good stuff fer that, he added.
 Mr. Harding has lived beside the | raceway for number of years and is accustomed to seeing the myriads of eels in the raeeway, but he had never witnessed an attack upon them by the pike until the other day
 'Old Jim Allerton, who tended the bridge for number of years" said Harding, ''once told me about a fight between the eeIs an the black bass that was somethin' terrific, but you Snow old Jim told some stories what warn't like some folks would think cor rect stories. But ] thinks he war right Jim said the bass swope down at the outlet and sort O formed themselves into q circuit round about the cells afore they could get in the raceway to protec' themsels, an the slaughter, as Jim tells tn story, was somethin' orful. But some folks swoped down on the bass and driv them off afore they could finish the feast" ."-N. Y. Sun.
