FISH CHILLED TO DEATH.
The story Told by Captain Seward
in Baltimore.

BALTIMORE Jan. 25.-Cspt Thomas J.
Seward. Of Hudson, Sharpe's Island, is in
the city on a visit to friends. He says
there has been a -emarkable phenomenon
in his vicinity in the great numbers Of
fish being washed ashore on the banks OF
his farm. Some days before he left home
he had carts loading the dead fish and
placing them upon his fields for fertilizer.
There was no difficulty 10 shovel the dead
fish. as there were thousands Of them
brought in with the tide and left on the
beach ankle deep.
The same condition prevailed, Captain
Seward said, on the mainland TO the east
ward Of shapes Island Not in the mem
ory OF the Oldest farmer on the beach has
such a plethora OF dead nsh beer seen
along the shores II is thought that the
fish got into shallow waters during the
late cold weather and were frozen.
Some condition of the weather kept them
close TO shore until they became chill ed
TO death by the water close TO the sur
face and were thrown ashore by the tides.
Usually the instinct OF the FISH in winter
is to seek the lower depths Of the water
and move with the warm currents.

for u.s." said Senator SCOTT, 'he said :
I have an affection of the throat that
makes my speech very weak. told my
friends in 1898 that would never take
the stump again, because the strain was
too great for me-
II said: General, you should not
talk of taking the stump. All IsWish
you TO do is to make a speech to your
fellow citizens on the issues of the cam
paign.' I told the General that 1 did not
agree with him, when he said in reply to
this that he did not think it was neces-
sary for him to speak to his fellow citi-
| zens. You were once the Chief Magis
trate of this nation, said, and any
word that you might say would be OF
deep interest to all the people in it,
'Gen. Harrison thanked me and said
that he would think the matter over
and before he left the city within ten
days or SO, he might either make a
speech or else give out an interview ex-
pressing his views.''

What may prove a fatal accident oo-
CURED last evening on Woodford street
at Woodfords, between Highland square
and Brighton street. It was about 7.8O
O'Clock when car 81 of the Westbrook d.
vision of the Portland Railroad compa-
ny. boul for Westbrook, in charge of
Conductor Frank Raymond and Motor
man George Barbour, ran into Mr.. Albert
l.. Elder, better known as Lemuel Elder,
meat dealer, living in Windham, about
three mile from Cumberland Mills.
The car was moving along-slowly, not
over six or seven miles an hour, and the
motorman was not aware of the pres
enoe OF Elder until just before the crash
came. 1t is very dark at this particular
point where the accident occurred, and
last evening uncommonly so, as the
vapor was thick and hung low to the
earth. According to the testimony Of
most capable and safe driving mOtormen
in the employ OF the company and his
version agrees with that of several young
men who were riding on the front end
of the car, the accident was unavoidable.
Elder was evidently on his way home,
driving in his white covered meat wag-
on. Hs had been drinking and the first
that the motorman noticed was when
he was within - feet of the man. Elder
was standing in between the rails and
his horse was standing across the track.
Elder was standing side to and did not
pay any attention to the gong or noise
of the approaching car. Motorman
Barbour at once reversed his power and
set his brake, but not before the car bad
struck the mani and felled him, The
car employees left the car at once to ascer-
tain the extent OF the damage. They
found Elder lying on one side of the
horse and a large hole in the side of his
head, either from a kick from the horse
or by a blow from the rail when he fell
to the ground. The wound bled quite
freely. On further examination they
of his shoes and left them in the road.
His oVercoat was on the wagon seat as
also his jacket. There were tracks
around the ground that indicated that he
had driven in a circle several times.
The injured man was placed on the
front Of the car and taken back to the
residence of DR.. Porter on Woodford
street. DR.. Porter dressed the wound
and found the man in a precarious condi-
tion. being unconscious all the time. The
skull had been crushed and after the
wound had been dressed the unfortunate
man was taken in Rich's ambulance to
the Maine General hospital where more
thorough examination was made,
At the hospital DR.. King was called to
assist DR.. Porter. It was found that be-
sides the fracture of the skull, the man
had also broken his right ankle and left
thigh. Both fractures were reduced.
Fears are entertained for his recovery as
the brain was penetrated with bone
of the skull. Elder is about 60 years OF
age and resides with his wife In South
Windham. The horse was not injured
and the only damage to the wagon was
the breaking of the shafts. Some boys
saw Elder at Woodfords Corner about 6
O'Clock and started him towards home,
but this was some time before the acci-
dent happen

BURNED BY Gas EXPLOSION.

Boston, October 3.-Mrs. 81. N. Slater,
widow of the late Horat1o N. Slater, a
well known mill owner of Back Bay, was
probably fatally burned at her home to-
day by an explosion of gas. Mrs. Slater
only returned from Bar Harbor, Me-, last
Sunday. The house during her absence
was locked up. Today men were making
repairs when Mrs. Slater decided to go to
the attic to examine some clothes that she
had placed In the closet before her de-
parture for the Maine summer resort. She
carried lighted candle. The instant the
door was opened there was an explosion
which knocked Mrs. Slater down. The
workmen found Mrs. Slater unconscious
with her clothing on fire. An investiga-
tion showed that that portion or the gas
pipe passing through the closet had
sprung leak and that the confines of the
closet was a miniature gasometer.

New InsulatOrs.

1t has been proposed recently In Ger
many to install heating circuit in
connection with insulators on very
high tension power transmission lines.
These insulators are generally made Of
porcelain, about the size and shape of
an ordinary derby hat, When their
temperature becomes lower than that
of the surrounding air, under certain
conditions of. humidity, film of mois-
ture forms on their surface, giving
rise to a slight leak. which may start
dangerous and destructive arc, The
proposed Improvement consists of a
coil of high resistance wire, imbedded
in or wrapped around the insulator.
through which small current may be
sent at times when the conditions ia
yor the formation OF moisture. An ele-
walton OF temperature of two or three
degrees Is sufficient to keep the insula-
tors dry, aud this may be had with q
very slight expenditure OF current,

GREETING TO bEADSLEE
POPULAR ADMIRAL FETED
BY JAPANESE OFFICIALS
He Was With Perry When Japan's
Door Was Opened to the World
Interesting Relics
Shown.

Tokyo, Dec. 1.-At the Seiyoken,
Uyeno Park, Tokyo, many hundred
prominent japanese ladies and gentle
men, with a few foreigners, being In.
vited by the reception committee, rep
resented by Marquis and Marchioness
Saigo, to meet Admiral Beards1ee, lat ,
of the American Navy. Admiral
Beardslee Is a veteran officer who ac-
companied Perry forty-seven years ago
on his memorable expedition to Japan,
and the Japanese, ever hospitable to
foreigners who take an interest in the
country, have been 'lionising" him very
extensively.
The gathering commenced with
speeches, and ended with a feast. A
select party Of Japanese and foreign
ers, with the guest of the afternoon,
was assembled on the verandah of the
hotel, from which speaking took place.
DR.. Kato, whose remarks were inter
preted by Mr.. Takahashi, spoke, ex-
pressing his pleasure at meeting the
Admiral, and adding that at the time
the latter first visited Japan. the coun-
try had begun to realise the importance
of intercourse with the western world.
While a good many people were of
opinion taht the foreigner must be
fought with his own weapons and ia
pans subsequent progress had been the
outcome of the growth of that feel
ing.
Amiral Beardslee, In few well Sc
lected senstences, expressed his sense
OF the. hearty welcome extended him.
He detained all idea that the recep-
ton was due to his own personal mer-
its, but recognized that II was accorde |
him as the representative OF his ma
ton. He remarked on the enormous
changes which had taken place since
his first visit to the country-every-
thing had been changed When he
came up the Bay with Perry at the
masthead of the Commodore's ship was
his pennant, showing a single large
white star in a blue ground, and he was
happy to think that that star was the
symbol of the light which had swept
away all the clouds In which the old
Japan had been enveloped, and had
been the harbinger OF bright dawn o.
enlightenment. He remarked on the
universally of the English language in
Japan, and expressed the opinion that
the Japanese were rapidly becoming an
Enslish-speaking AZ well as Japanese
speaking people.
Cheers were then given for the Ad-

Baron Tanaka, and the capital military
band which was present played Hail
Columbia"
After the speeches the company wit
messed some very pretty geisha dancing
and some clever acrobatic feats, or en-
joyed. themselves in wandering about
the grounds. In one corner was a
most interesting exhibition of Perry
relics, the property Of Count Abe, con-
sisting of a large number Of articles
presented to the Counts grandfather
by the United States Government. and
also collection Of prints and news
paper articles and cartoons. There was
a set OF weights and balances, record
ing instrument, and a set Of pictures OF
the American Mexican war, given by
Perry. Then there were pictures, ia
panese and foreign, of the commodore,
and very singular indeed were the ia
panese conceptions of the distinguish led
visitor. Some japanese prints giving
their ideas Of railway engines and
ships were also extraordinary. There
was fan-shaped writing with the
words BE friendly to all Americans,
written by a secretary accompanying
the expedition, and a gaudy represen-
tation Of review Of American blue
jackets, painted according to the meta
DDS Of the Tokugawa period. Altogeth-
err the exhibition was most interesting.
There was fine show of chrysanthe-
mus, stalls for light refreshments were
stationed in every available nook. and
everything was done to promote the
pleasure of the guests. All the attend
ants were dressed either in armor or in
old-time civilian dress.

ArcIieht Headlight.

An arc headlight for electric street
cars has Just been brought out. The
ordinary oil lamp headlight. or the va
riety using an incandescent lamp in a
small parabolic reflector sunk in the
dashboard, serves well enough to notl-
fy waiting passenengers that the car
is coming but they light the tracks
for a few feet only, In these days OF
high speed trolley cars there is urgent
need for light that will show an OBJ
struction on the track in time to stop

closed arc lamp is used, consuming
about three-quarters OF an ampere Of
current at 500 volts. or about slx-tenths
OF a horse power. This amount Of cur
rent is insignificant compared with tho
value OF the better light obtained II
