Police and detectives were frequently
called out last night by reports of
violence in connection with the street
railway mems strike. Dynamite on
the track blew off part of wheel of

FISH CHANT LULLABIES in
HEMPSTEAD'S OHIO RIVAL

BELLEVUE. o., June 2s.-The
town is all fused up over certain
singing fish which keep the villagers
awake o. nights. These fish, variety
OF bull pout, live in the subterranean
streams which flow under the place.
They gather at the surface of
cisterns and quiet pools in the dusk
and chant in chorus what a promi-
nent poetess of Bellevue calls a sweet,
sad, haunting melody, which she
likens to the moaning of night winds
through lonely, brooding pines. But
plain citizens who are kept awake are
beginning to cuss the gosh blamed

Lee, with his host of bronzed and
heroic fighters, had invaded Penn
syIvania-
Stanton, secretary OF war, sat IN
his Office in Washington. sleepless and
anxious, on the night of the last of
June. He and his cause faced ruin
at the hands of the Napoleon OF the
Confederacy.
Beside him was Major Thomas T.
Eckert, head of the military tele-
graphic service.
Stanton received a message from
some of his secret service men telling
him that Lee was turning on Meade.
The situation was tremendous. If
Lee could concentrate his scattered
army before Meade could do likewise
he could cut Meade up in detail and
have the North at his mercy.
There was a telegraph office IN
Frederick, Md. The sounder began
spluttering. Bickford took the mess
age. 1t was from Eckert.
Call Fonda to the key. We have
a dispatch we want him to carry"
Ten Eyck Fonda came. He was a
boy of II, of an old New York family,
who now lives in Omaha, Neb.
Secretary Stanton wants you and
two others to carry very important
dispatch to General Meade's head
quarters" clicked Eckert. will you
go?"
The boy knew that the country to
the rear of Meade's army was sown
with Stuart's Confederate raiders I'M
der Mosby; but he did not hesitate.
YES" he clicked back.
And this is the message, never be-
fore published, which Fonda took
over the wire from Eckert, dictated
to the sender by the great secretary
in Washington
ITO Major-General Meade, Comdg.
A. p, on March:
THE advance guard of the Con-
federate army under General Early
have entirely evacuated Wrightsville
and other points on the Susquehanna
river, and are making forced march
to join General Lees main army at
point between Hanover and Gettys-
burg-part of their forces now at
Hanoyer-and they confidently expect
to be able to form a junction with
General Lees main army not later
than tomorrow evening. Circum-
stances and conditions permitting.
would urge you TO assume the often
sive as quickly as possible on Lees
divided forces.
(Signed) "E. NJ. STANTON,
Secretary of War"
This was followed by the following.
ITO Fonda:
Make every effort to deliver this
message to General Meade in person.
I cannot advise you definitely as to
the location of his headquarters, but
you can follow the main army tracks
and try to locate him as early as
possible.
"ECKERT."
Boots and saddles! Would Rose
and Hardesty go along? Well, they
didn't care much about 1t.
But Fonda, thrilling with the sense
of big things, appealed to their pa
triotism, and they went.
Horses! They got orders for the
best. Each took a copy of the dis
patch and Into the darkness they
galloped abreast"
Fonda says the three passed a
Confederate raiders camp at fancy
town. They fired off their revolvers

lie policy propounded to him by the National

courage of his convictions and that he is afraid
to declare himself the eve OF the Republican and
National Progressive primaries and the city election
-Four questions propounded by the National Pro-
gressiyes and to each he gave an affirmative and, in
instances lengthy reply. The Mayor was asked
whether he favored the following things;
First-Actiye efforts improve the methods Of as
sessment and collection OF taxes in this city.
Second-The concentration of collection of all city
funds from licenses, taxes market rentals etc. in the
hands OF the city treasurer
Thrd-Ths improvement of city administration
either by consolidating the various city departments
into central commission leaving Council stand as
the legislative body, a complete commission form
OF government may seem best adapted TO the needs
of our city.
Fourth--The thorough study OF the trolley and cleo
trio power and lighting problems, comparing viii
mingon conditions and with other cities
having similar conditions, and full publicity of the es
sential data and comparisons secured believing that
only by such a the citizens of our city in
diligently determine whether the present electric
lighting monopoly should continue under conditions Of
reduced power rates and the restoration OF strip tick
whether the granting OF new franchise for an
independent company should be approved
In view of his favorable reply the full text OF which
already has been published in our columns It seems
10 be accepted that the National Progressiyes will
support him for denomination and reelection.
