BATTLE WITH A TURTLE.
0ne Weighing One Hundred Pounds
seixes Restaurant Pa
irons Legs.

Phillip Emmons. of Garwood, had a
battle the other day in William Wus-
sler's restaurant, on Broad street,
Elizabeth, N. j., with a 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 a dart at its tormentor
and closed its jaws in his calf. En-
howled with pain and danced
around the floor, but was unable to
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 a 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.

MOTHER FIGHTS EAGLE.
Mrs. GoHainK Chases Bird OF Prey for
niles and Receivers Imfant
After Hard Battle.

Advices were received at San Ber-
nardino, CAL, the other night of a
fierce encounter between a woman
and two eagles on a mountain be-
tween Victor and Rose Mine, about
so miles north of San Bernardino.
Mrs. Golding is the wife o. the
stagekeeper of Box s., a stage sta
ton. The other afternoon she was
sitting outside of the house beside
a cradle, in which lay her s~ix-months-
old infant. Suddenly a dark shadow
swooped down and Mrs. Golding saw
a large eagle rise up into the air
holding in its talons her infant.
The mother rushed to where a mule
was tethered, and, pulling up the
stake-pin, jumped on its back, and
was soon following after the huge
bird, which found flight difficult with
its heavy burden.
The chase was continued for sew
eral miles. the eagle resting at in
tervals. When it alighted on it's nest
high up in .ae mountains, Mrs. Gold
ing climbed above where she had seen
the eagle alight, tied one end of the
stake rope about a tree trunk and let
herself over the cliff. She landed on
a ledge and found the eagle. Selling
a club she fought the angry bird, sue
ceeding in killing it.
Before she could escape to the
ground the eagles mate appeared,
and the mother had another encoun-
ter. but drove the bird away. Mrs,
Golding reached home late at night
in a pitiable condition. The infant
escaped injury.
The story was telephoned to San
Bernardino by Superintendent Sparge,
of the Gold Mountain Mining com
pany, who vouched for it's accuracy.

TROUBLED BY RAIN OF STEEL.
Singular A~mnoyaaces 90 watch Some
P~enn@yAwani@ People Are
Subjected.

The farmers up in Rockhill town
ship, in the vicinity of Perkasie, are
wishing they could wear armor-proof
clothing, and all because of the steel
rain that has been causing them to
seek shelter at all hours of the day. 1t
has been exceedingly dangerous for a
peaceful, quiet-loying agriculturist up
in this region to go out into his fields,
says a Doyleston correspondent OF
the Philadelphia North American.
The commonwealth Of Pennsylvania,
at the instance of John p. Elkins, at
torney general, has filed a bill OF
equity here to restrain the Rockhill
Industrial company. of which Henry
Freed is superintendent, from filling
the air with flying missiles of steel,
weighing anywhere from half a pound
up to 25 pounds. A preliminary in
junction has been granted.
The defendant company was organ
lied to crush and break up steel and
iron castings, so that they may be
handled by the. various steel com
panies. These scraps" weigh some
times 20 or 30 tons, and are shipped to
Rockhill by the Reading railway
There they are unloaded and taken to
the industrial works. OF course, the
breaking up of the scraps could not
be allowed ip a %populous community,
because of the very great danger from
flying missiles. The blasting out OF
the steel requires heavy charges OF
dynamite, and the pieces are thrown
for distances of nearly a mile over
the surrounding country.
The pieces of steel to be separated are
placed in a pit, and a charge fixed in a
hole drilled in the metal. The custom
used to be to blow a whistle when a
blast was to be made. so that the farm.
ers who were out blowing or reaping
could hunt a tree to hide behind. The
horses had to take their chances. But
this whistle blowing was given up, and
the first notice the unwary farmer had
was when he heard a peculiarly weird,
whizzing noise that accompanies the
fight of the projectiles through the
air. The things came so fast hat il
was utterly useless to try to get out OF
the way, and there have been a good
many farmers up there who have had
ten-pound steel weights dropping
within a couple of feet of them and be-
ing buried four or FIVE feet in the
ground.
And the storekeepers, too, have
troubles of their own. Every once in
awhile there is q tremendous rattle OF
crockery, and a lot of dishes piled up
on the shelves are hurled to the floor
and all because of the conclusion
caused by the explosion. The fact is
that some of the storekeepers are SO
much wrought up over the losses they
sustain from these crockery break
ages that they are thinking of going
into some other business.

GENERATIONS OF DIPLOMATS.
IA Fox Family Holds the Recofd an
ths Consular service-Located
al Falmouth, Eng.

The family with the longest record
in diplomatic service is the Fox fam
lily. Four successive generations the
Fox family have held the post of con-
sui at Falmouth, England. since May
30, 1894, when President Washington
appointed as representative of this
government to that place Robert w.
Fox. On his death his son was APP
pointed 10 the Face, 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 sue
ceed his father on the latter's retire
ment or death.
There have been many demands
made on each change of administra-
ton to Dust the Fox family, who are
English people, but the state depart
ment, largely for sentimental rea-
sons, has made no change in the of
hce.
1t has been generally supposed that
Consul Sprague at Gibraltar and his
family had been longest in the diplo-
amatic service, but the Fox's have
held office under the state department
for a much longer period.

Enlistments In the army are at a
unprecedented rate, much to the
qualification of artillery officers. who
are anxious to have the maximum
strength of their crops attained at
an early date. The last week there
were 4o3 enlistments, the previous
weekly average being less than 200.
This enabled the war department to
complete the third increment of artil-
lery increase and make the promo
tions among the commissioned Off
GERS. The surplus enlistments with
the additional transfers this week
gives AIT men on the fourth mere
ment of 1902 e
All the infantry regiments are
now recruited to their strength and
all cavalry regiments except the
Thirteenth are full. This enables
the recruiting officers to throw all
the recruits to the artillery.

The RED Hunting Goat

The origin of the red coat is a mys-
terry. There is a story told that one
of the early Henrys was so enamored
with the sport of fox hunting as to
ordain it to be a royal sport, and the
red coat was worn in consequence
This, however, has been pointed at as
absurd, as in those days scarlet was
not a royal livery at all. One thing
there can be no doubt about, and that
is that the scarlet coat is very pop
ular for those who hunt regularly.
And it must be confessed that il. adds
picturesqueness to the scene. The
question of color seems to be very
much a matter of taste; it is looked
upon as an indication of social posi-
stion. In the abstract anyone can don
the pink, il so desired, but it is con
sidered out of taste for v o to
adopt that color if he does not liberal
ly subscribe to the hunt fund. The
black coat is considered to come next
in social position, and the ordinary
multi garment for those whose sub
scription is very small indeed.-Tailor
and Cutter. -

STILL AFTER YANDERPOOL
Resolution to Gust Him VIII Be In-
troduced Tonight

Those who are trying to get Sanitary
Sergeant Vanderpool ousted from his
position have mapped out a plan Of
campaign to get the members of the
city council on record in the matter.
The board of health has already ask
ed the mayor to appoint some one to Mr..
Vanderpool's place. and it is proposed
to secure a similar action from the
health and sanitation committee of the
council This committee is composed
Of Geo. Tincher, H. S. Nichols and
Joseph Griley, two of whom are hos
tile to Mr.. Vanderpool, and would vote
in favor of such action
With these two actions as backing, IL
is proposed to introduce a resolution
before the council tonight, asking the
mayor to carry out the wishes and rec
concentrations Of the board Of health
and the health and sanitation commit
tee, and remove Vanderpool- The gem
eraI opinion seems to be that the coun-
ell will refuse to do this, but it will
force the members to cone out on one
side of the case or the other, and that
is what Vanderpoofs enemies say they
want.
