THREE RAILnIrDs IN one Ell

Capt. Travis BloOdg0od of South
Amboy is hard man to surprise by
anything that may occur ia the waters
Of Raritan bay or It's ailuents. He Is
a hurny-handcd and hard-headei Ash
erman and guide. and at the same timc
a man OF inviolate truth and some
thing OF n naturalist. One day last
week he went up to South River on n
trolley car with a friend from Newark.
They fshcd In the Raritan at South
River and caught nfty catfish and
perch and more than sixty pounds Of
big eeLs. Weighing an average Of near
iy two pounds each. The largest eel
weighed FIVE pounds and nine ounces
and was caught by John Lctzclter OF
Newark. In dressing 1t Capt. Blood
good found that 1t had recently swal-
lowed three rail birds. all of which
we're fat and in full feather. He said
that he had never heard Of such case
before. but was convinced that the eel
had caught the birds alive when the
meadows were flooded at high water.
and that there should be good rail
shooting about South River IL one eel
could capture three in n night.

GENERATIONS OF DIPLOMATS.
The Fox Family Holds the Record in the Consular Service-Located
 nt Falmouth, Eng.

The family with the longest record in diplomatic service is the Fox fam fly. Four successive generations the Fox family have held the post of con sul at Falmouth, England, since May 30, 1794, when President Washington appointed as representative of this government to that place. Robert W. Fox. On his death his son was ap- pointed to the place, to be succeed ed by the grandson, Howard Fox, who is the present consul. and whose son is the vice consul. The latter, it is likely, will be appointed to suc- ceed his father on the latter's retire. ment or death.
 There have been many demands made on each change of administra- tion to oust the Fox family, who are English people, but the state depart ment, largely for sentimental req sons, has made no change in the of fee.
 It has been generally supposed that Consul Sprague at Gibraltar and his family had been longest in the dip1o- .matic service, but the Fox's have held office under the state department for much longer period.

Gen. Greedy, Chief Signal. Omcer of D Army, Invents New Telegraph
 Cable System.

50 Gen. A. W. Greedy, chief signal of hcer of the army, who is now in Manila, is oneaof the most industrious of army officers. Besides being head of the signal corps and in charge of the war department library, he has found time to devise telegraph cable code which he hopes to have adopted by business houses who have business use for the wire.
 He has invented this code, which is understood to be much simpler than the one at present in use, in his leisure hours, and has taken out patent in his own name, and he hopes to derive an independent income from the invention. S ls

BATTLE WITH A TURTLE.
Seizes Restaurant Pa-
 frOn's Legs.

Phillip Emmons, of Garwood, had a battle the other day in William Wus- sler's restaurant, on Broad street, Elizabeth, N. J., with huge sea snapper turtle weighing 100 pounds. The turtle was permitted to crawl around the floor, and Emmons kicked it on the head. Suddenly the snapper made dart at it's tormentor and closed its jaws in his calf. Elm mons howled with pain and danced around the floor, but was unableeto shake off the turtle. Sticks and canes were vainly brought into use by the excited diners, who thought they could beat off the snapper from his victim. The blood streamed from Emmons' leg as he jumped around, and the turtle hung on with the tenacity of a bulldog.
 Proprietor Wussler at last seized an ice pick and plunged it into the snapper's neck. which caused it to re- lax its grip. Emmons was badly bit ten and hardly able to stand. He was taken to nearby surgeon, who dressed the wound and sent him to a hospital. The snapper was de- capitated shortly after the incident. Emmons threatens to sue for dam ages.

bred, he soon earned for his rider, Abe Conger, of company A, the distinction of being frequently detailed for spe- cial service. Several extraordinary marches of over so miles day are placed to his credit, but the event which most endeared him to the hearts of the troop was his being participant in the capture of Jefferson Davis.
 During the term of his service he acquired a wonderful veneration for his country's flag and many are the pa thetic stories told in this connection. It is the special pride of Capt. Harter to relate that one day when flag was being raised at schoolhouse near the field in which Frank was grazing he jumped the fence as soon as he saw it and stood beneath it's waving folds until it was removed at night.
 The monument, which is on Capt. Harter's farm at Upper Sandusky, is single powder, extremely hard and red and gray in color, with sharply cut facets which sparkle and glisten in the sunlight as it beams upon the spot which will long be venerated in honor of one of mans best friends and an influential factor in the making of his tOrv

MANY SEEK PATENTS.
w. Cornelius Vanderbilt and Others
 Protect Their Inventions.
The Young Millionaire Makes Tm- proved Devices for RaiIroads- Curious Motor WagOn-Maga-
 zine Tack-Hanlmer.

". Cornelius Vanderbilt has just re- draft gear for railway rolling stock, and another for car track. MT. Van- derbilt has secured other railway pat ents. the most notable being for fire box. The development of automobiles has spurred the inventors and pat ents are being taken out for hubs, wheels, tires, engine protectors, wagon bodies, storage batteries and many other appliances used in the construc- ton of automobiles. The most novel of these is patent for a motor, which is to take the place of horse. It is shaped like box and mounted on four wheels, and runs in front of the wagon or buggy. It is designed to be managed by the use of reins, as the horse is guided.
 The Buffalo exposition and the or ganization of the Order of Buffalo are responsible for many designs in pins and other insignia. One genius reg istered design for a woman's stock ing, plain white at the bottom, but with the top decorated with charging buffaloes. A German inventor has se- cured a patent on an acetylene life pre- server, in form of belt. When the person wearing the belt life preserver is cast into the sea the belt can be inflated with gas by admitting little water to the store of acetylene, which is supposed to last for hours.
 A man in Lockport, H., finding it consumed considerable time and en- ergy to place tacks under hammee took out patent for magazine ham, mer. the tacks being loaded into the handle of the hammer like shells into a magazine gun.
 The movement in certain churches toward individual communion cups has brought out a patent by John G. Thomas, of Lima, C., for an individual communion service, consisting of sil- yer cups arranged about a silver tray. The patent is on the tray.

"GoIden Rule, Jones Fined.

Mayor Jones, of Toledo, O., was fined five dollars and costs in the po- lice court the other morning as re- suit of. an attempt to impress his "go1den rule" and equality for all theories upon the magistrate. The incident occurred during the trial of a man whom the mayor was given permission to question. The execu- tive hinted that the man would be convicted because he had. no money to pay for defense, and then Judge Wachenheimer interfered. To show he considered all men equal the mag istrate promptly assessed Mayor Jones five dollars and costs" ard directed the police clerk to notify the executive of Toledo that here- after he must remain behind the rail with the rest of the ordinary specta- tors when attending police court.

From that point I shall follow tho Siberian railway, pushing on to Vladivostoc,e, or a point near there, where I shall take ship for Japan.

thoroughly discussed by officers. at the war department, and while no one seemed to have any direct infor- nation concerning his intentions the statement that he would leave the army was generally accepted as true. People in Washington who know Funston say that he is not by nature part in times of peace and that his spirit of daring and enterprise will lead him into other fields.
 Officers who have returned within the past few days said he did not ex- pect the promotion that resulted from his capture of Aguinaldo and that when he was shown the cable gram from the war department an- nouncing his appointment as a briga- dier general he expressed astonish- ment that his exploit should have led the president to accord him such recognition. At that time, it is said, he was making arrangements to get out of the army, his intention then being to accept a proposition of a large business concern to represent it in the Philippines. The promotion for the time being, of. course, divert ed his attention from such plans. The offer is said to have been re- newed since, and as it would bring him a much larger salary than that of brigadier it is understood he has almost decided to accept it.

declared that the Lord had dealt harshly and unjustly with him in de- priving him of his slaves, and out of revenge he registered terrible oath that he would never again put his foot to the Lords ground, and so far he has kept his vow.
 Never since the registration of his vow has he appeared without his door, nor will he have converse with anyone save one or two, who are immediately connected with him, and then his words are of the briefest possible character.
 His landed interests are extensive, and under the management of a com petent overseer yield him handsome income.
 The overseer makes his reports to the queer old man in his darkened indoor retreat, who gives his orders and directions as tersely as possible.
 He has never spoken to a woman since his self-imposed exile, nor will he allow one to be employed upon his place.
 How he spends his time within his darkened room no one knows, but it is said that one employment is the counting of money, of which he is said to have a vast amount in gold and silver.
 Be it as it may, Bardstown bank CT twice year visits MT. Hayden, and through him the recluse settles his financial matters with the outside world.
 Mir Hayden is described as a fine- looking man, with a full beard and flowing hair. His confinement has bleached him until he is as white as an infant and his hands are as soft as raw cotton.
 He had a sale of mules at his farm recently, and a number of animals were sold at fancy prices.
 A large number of people were present at the sale, but never a glance was caught of MT. Hayden. His instructions to the auctioneer were sent out by the overseer, writ ten in grabbed hand, and were very direct.

A KENTUCKY HERMIT
Has Not Set Foot on the Ground
 for Over Thirty Years.
Hade a Peculiar Vow and Lives the Life of a RecIuse, Although Pos- sessed of Considerable Prop

Living in solitude in the eastern portion of Nelson county, ten miles from Bardstown, is one of the most singular characters in Kentucky.
 Now in his seventy-fifth year, he for over 30 years.
 Basil Hayden, says the Philadelphia Press, is one of the wealthiest farm CTS in a district composed of 12 coun- ties, and is descended from a family well known in the pioneer annals ot the state.
 Many of them have also been dis tinguished. in the different lines of life.
 One of his brothers, Raymond H. Hayden, for years held a controlling interest in one of the most famous distilleries in the United States. He, too. had peculiar ideas and lived a bachelor all his life, and at last died at an advanced age under singular circumstances.
 He was found dead in his orchard a number of years ago, bottle that had contained poison lying by his side. It was generally thought that he had committed suicide, but there were some who held the opinion that he had met with foul play and the poison bottle was placed near him for blind
 Basil Hayden, 1.-The Hermit" as he is known throughout the section in which he lives, in his youth was a social leader and very popular with a large circle of friends.
 When the war broke out he entered the confederate army and made a good soldier to the end.
 When he returned home he found his slaves free and his property great ly damaged. The emancipation of his negroes affected him seriously, and he brooded over it constantly.
 He became sullen and morose, de- clining all overtures at friendliness on the part of his neighbors. He
