A moray. described in the dictionary as
"a muraenoid eel, Roman delicaey," ar
rived here yesterday on board the steam
ship Bermudian from Bermuda. 1t was

the New York University biological station
at Bermuda to the aquarium in this city.
where It was received soon after the arri-
val OF the steamship. There were other
tropical fish In the consignment, which was
in five patent tanks. 81
Prof c. L. Bristol OF the New York Uni
versity, who has made study of the
transportation OF live fish, met the Bermu-
dian as soon as she reached her pier at the
foot OF Christopher street. He found that
one speckled moray, about three feet long.
had crawled out of its tank and taken
refuge under the plankins OF the deck
Covering his hands with big gloves and as
sisted by some of the sailors, Prof. Bristol
went after the big eel. The moray snapped
vfc.ously at the professor, but was soon
landed in hand net and returned to its
tank
Besides the big moray there were in the
consignment several speckled morays, each
several feet long; some large rockfish, two
queen turbots. half dozen cow and bull
fish and other Inhabitants of the tropical
seas There were about fifty fish in all,
and they will be placed on exhibition at the
aquarium at once.
One interesting exhibit was a huge crab
fish, which Prof Bristol said was really an
overgrown shrimp. It crawled laboriously
about the bottom OF the tank The bull and

asking for the injunction against his
sons:
He claims first that he is a man 66
years of age and that he is afflicted
and cripple, unable to do any manu-
al labor or to use physical force. He
and his aged wife live together in their
little house at the corner of Grand
avenue and West Second street, he
states, but their home has been made
bedlam.
He says in the petition that his sons,
James Dawson and John Dawson, are
43 and "a years of age, respectively.
He states that they are unmarried and
without occupation. They frequently
come to their fathers house, says the
petition, and obtain board and lodging
without making any payment for the
same.
Against the fathers protest, so the
petition says, they come into the house
at all hours of the night and disturb
his sleep and rest, and are boisterous
and unruly; that instead of helping or
assisting him in any manner to maln-
tain the home, they disturb it.
Going still farther the father claims
that each son, individually, threatens
violence to him if he interferes. and
that they have rendered his home
veritable bedlam to him.
Because of these conditions. says the
petition, the elder Dawson was driven
from his home and feared to return
without provision of the court. The
father says that he is unable in any
manner to control the sons. or to COM
pei them to stay away from his home.
Without the intervention of the court,
his home is destroyed and he himself
is in danger of violence from his sons,
he claims.
