Marques Of Sligo in Indian Mutiny

Marques Of Sligo in Indian Mutiny.
Lord Altamont, who, through the
death of his aged father, the other
day, has become marques of Sligo,
was through the Indian mutiny. His
father, who was in the Indian civil
service, was stationed at Bankipur
when the mutiny broke out.
Lord Sligo's wife and infant son,
seven months old, the new marques,
were sent for safety to place which
was surrounded by rebels for fort
night. The child, however, was safely
taken through the sepoy lines by a
faithful Indian nurse, who dyed his
skin as a ruse to pass him off as her
own son. A long time passed before
the boy was restored to his anxious
parents, who meantime had to go
through further siege at Monghyr.
The new marques recently celebrated
his silver wedding. On the actual an
niversary day he had to be in Scot
land, but he sent his wife telegram
with the characteristic message,

Fish Through the Lock.

In his letter to j. W. Murphy of
Burlington, Major Meigs said in part:
"This matter was taken up with the
fish commission at Washington, who
sent an officer out to inspect the con
ditions. A fishway that would convey
fish over a forty-foot fall is con
struction of very doubtful efficacy
The commissioner who was here did
not know of any. successful ones for
such a height.
''In view Of the fact that the lock
is so large and so we'll situated to
trap the fish, being an eddy under the
dam, and also in view of the observed
fact that very large numbers of fish
are constantly going through the lock,
as shown by the stranding of fish by
the hundreds on the disappearing
gates he concluded that the lock was
answering sufficient purpose and made
no recommendations for attempting a
fishway, which If built, would prob
ably be impossible for ascent by the
fish"
The many people who believe the
dam will be an advantage to the fish
ing interests especially above it think
the question has been fully settled by

FISH NOT bAFFLED
BY The BIG Dam
Belief Expressed by investigator That
They Can Get Through
the Lock to the
North.
LETTER OF MAJOR MEIGs
Proposition to Build Fashway Past
the Dam Not Regarded
as Feasible
Plan.

That the fish of the Mississippi
will not be baffled by the dam which
has been stretched across 1t to stop
the waters here is the belief from the
statement of an expert from the fish
commission of the government ex-
pressed to Major M. Meigs while
here Investigating conditions. The
investigator was sent to ascertain if
the charges made that the dam would
slaughter fish and by obstructing
herring that carried the germ of the
mussel shell which is the life of the
button industry in the north, destroy
it.
Large numbers of fish go over the
spillways and it is probable that some
OF the smaller fish go through the
turbine chambers Many fish also no
doubt enter the lock. The question
was put forward as to how fish coukl
get up stream past the dam. 1t is
now the belief that fish go up through
the lock Fish always go to the head
waters of stream to spawn and it
was charged by upper river fishermen
that in time that part Of the river
would practically be denuded Of fish
The proposition was advanced to
build a fishway past the dam but this
is characterized as impracticable.
