FisHERMAN's PARADISE.
A Name to Which Newfoundland 10
Certainly Entitled.

Certainty tntltleo.
A native of Newfoundland is born
fisherman or a fish dealer. If the turn
of his business life prevents him from
catching fish, 1t seldom, If ever, gets
him out of the atmosphere of them.
If he doesn't catch them he sells them.
or gets his living in some way out
of them. He lives and thrives, as 1t
were, on Goldfish, fresh and salted, or
in the fattening from cod liver oil,
crude and refined. The scheduled COM
merce of the island is made up Of
fish-the cod, herring and the salmon
the latter a mere drop in the aggre-
gate bucket. This condition has ex-
listed since the early years of the 10th
century, when the Portuguese, the Bis
cayans, the French and English fought
fiercely over the rights to the coast
fishing.
For nearly 400 years the traffic In
these special products of the seas was,
and is now, carried on purely from
long period we find no reference to the
angling wealth of the inland waters,
except when, here and there, a stray
Waltonian, stranded in transit to his
far-off home, improvised a rod and
fishing gear and gave glowing accounts
of the salmon and trout waters near
the coast. But these reports were few
and far between, and owing to the
isolated location of the island and the
dearth of transportation facilities,
Newfoundland continued to be an un-
developed Utopia to the anglers of the
world.
This condition existed until within
the last decade, when the American
tourist, as restless and indefatigable In
his search for new avenues Of pleasure
as he probably had formerly been in
chasing the dollar, traversed the ISL
and and corduroyed, as 1t were, its
many and difficult portages in his
heart for choice angling waters. He
found them everywhere; nestled in the
lap of every vale; in the concaves Of
the hilltops, and dashing down the
mountain sides, widening from turbu-
lent trout rivulets into noble salmon
rivers flowing placidly to the sea. For
be it known that more than one-third
of the area Of the island is covered
with fresh waters, and in their broad
reaches live many species of fish es-
teemed the world over for their game
qualities. 1t is not to be wondered that
such a country forms an objective point
in the itinerary of the angling season
with the fisherman.-William Harris
in the illustrated Sporting News.

TRENTON, N. j.. Oct. 17.-Fifteen per-
sons were killed and about forty more
injured in a collision, which occurred to-
day on the Belvidere division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, near
Washington's Crossing. The persons
killed and injured were laborers, who
were on2a work train and were on their
way to work at Washington's Crossing
to repair washouts along the road. Four
teen bodies have been taken from the
wreck, and one more body is known to
be under the debris. Only two or three
of those who are injured will be perma-
ncntly manned.
AS soon as the collision occurred a spe-
cial train was sent from Trenton with
a corps of physicians, and the dead and
injured were brought to this city. The
injured were taken to ST. Francis Hos
pital. The dead men. with one or two
resided In this city; the others being
colored men,, Their bodies were taken to
the morgue for Identification.
The train bearing the men who were
killed and Injured was made up
OF four. cars, two coaches in
which the men were riding and
two flat cars In tho rear. The train
stopped near Washington's Crossing to
receive orders respecting the passing Of
the regular passenger train. While the
train was standing on the track it was
run into from the rear by gravel train.
The two fiat cars telescoped the two
coaches. There were about $50 men in
the two cars. AS soon as the accident
happened the Italians became frantic
and made an attempt to do bodily harm
to the crew of the gravel train. Word
was sent to Trenton for police assist
ance, hut the men were finalyl quieted
by the foremen.
The railroad authorities here are reti-
cent as to how the accident occurred,
but 1t Is believed that the gravel train
either failed to see any adverse signal or
that the flagman of the first train failed
to go back a sufficient distance.
