A GHOST AT SEA.

They're queer set of sperruts that
frequents the seas and they do some
mighty queer things, as any sailorman
knows said Captain Bill Kinsman as
he cut pipeful off plug and proceed.
ed to roll it between his horny palms.
But the queerest spook ever see was
one that put itself out of business for
sixty odd years by making a mistake.
at happened when l was young
mar on voyage from Maracaibo to
Liverpool, Oh the bark lngomar, with a
cargo of mahogany. A chap by the
name of league was the captain, and
the sickest-looking skipper he was
that ever let ships crew do as it
pleased. He was a powerful big-boned
man, but gaunt as wolf, with his
clothes hanging loose all over him and
his eyes burning away back at the end
OF two sort O. caverns.
Instead of taking his rest like
Christian, he set up on the taffrail, in
his watch and out OF IT, fair weather or
foul, sleeping sometimes but most while
looking out over the sea like man in a
trance. Bout once a day he'd come
down for bite to eat and look at the
first mates fggers and then back he'd
go with never a word out of them.
1T didn't take many days out of port
before they begin to whisper among the
crew. What was it, we wanted to know.
that'd make man like league shrink
away from bis clothes and shun decent
mems neighborhood? What was it his
burning eyeballs saw out there in the
black water?
Mates" says Bob Wicks, who'd lost
one Of bis eyes on man-o'- war, 81 know
the signs. It's blood spots he sees out
there-blood spots of his own making
and there's no good goin' to come of
them as travels with him.

81 don't know jest what the crew'd a
done il it hadn't happened that Ben's
remarks come to the ears OF the first
mate. Soon they did the mate comes
humping into the fo'c'sle and lays Ben
out with a smash uuder the ear.

the rest Of US, 'is they any of you ever

week before the wedding. about nothing,
az women will, and up and married a
dub that was worth no good woman's
thoughts. Well, the chap that got left
is him that's sitting up there on the
taffrail. Ye dirty snakes, that's what
love does some times to a man. Now,
il they's any Of you wants a broken
head let me hear another yelpI about

"After that nobody felt called upon
to give his opinions Of the captain. /
reckon the crew was more sorry for him
than anything else, though Ben Wicks
shook his head and did a heap OF num-
bling under his breath. And we GER
tainly began to have queer voyage.
We was on nor '-nor'east tack and we
had a purity fair breeze most of the
time, but somehow that ship seemed to
make mighty little headway. The sea
was sort Of dirty oil color and it seemed
to sort Of ketch hold of us and stick on.
1t was like sailing through molasses.
"'It's coming soon,' says Ben Wicks,
one dog watch, when the first mate was
out of hearing.
THAT same night it comes up to rain
on the captains watch and he sent me
down after his oilskins. Foot OF the
companionway looked into the cabin

SENATOR HIGGINS THINKS THERE WILL
BE NO LEGISLATION TO EN-
LARGE THE CANAL.

Although the State tax rate fixed at L2O
mills last winter, which the lowest rate since
1854, it is expected by further curtailment and an
increase in indirect taxation that the 1902

This statement made yesterday a Tribune
reporter by State Senator f. w. Higgins of Olean.
chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. SEN
ator Higgins was on his way home from Con-
nectcut. where his has just entered an acad-
emy. The Senator. after staying overnight at the
Abemarle Hotel. left the city last night for Olean
Il cannot say just how decrease in the tax rate
will be accomplished. how much 1t will be cut
down. the Senator continued 'for can
predict what bills involving appropriations may
come before the Legislature. Nevertheless, It is
the policy of Governor Odell. begun last winter,
increase the revenue from indirect taxation and
curtaiI State expenditures. To accomplish the
latter purpose the Governor has made inspec-
ton of the State institutions. the canal and other
State departments
Us it likely that there will be any legislation TO
enlarge the canal next winter" was asked.
II do not think so. The enlargement OF the canal
has TO be recognized a national rather
than a State undertaking An increase in the canal
commerce will benefit the States whose products
are shipped by this route than this State II
self. The particular purpose of Governor Odells
inspection of the canal was 20 determine the ne
cessy for legislation providing for canal bridges
repairs. etc A flood of bills for certain local i'm

legislature each year The Finance Committee does
its best TO smother what are unnecessary but some

be able to decide ultimately whether such bills

blackened some by the fire, but appeared to
have been hurled in advance of the great burst
OF flame which shot out of the tank Those who
saw the bodies fly into the air assert that two
of them went higher than nearby tank. which
is over hundred feet high The bodies were
picked up at varying distances from the tank
The nearest was a hundred feet away and the
furthest about two hundred feet distant
The tank was rent in two. the roof being bent

thrown out of plumb The flame set fire to
woodwork in all directions near the tank, and
it was feared that the two gas receivers close
by would ignite, as for a minute or more they
were enyeloped in flame. The hremen were soon

alarm was turned in. having seen the pillar Of
