j No doubt it is evident by this time,
even to the most unimpressible
younti gentleman about the Post-office

chanjiing the name Appomattox to

that the action of the department in

A very strange thing has come to
pass in Wilmington, never heard of
before by the ' oldest fishermen. All
day-long yesterday at Front street
market dpek, a lot of boys w ith hook
and line caught numerous small w hite
shad and rock fish from four to six
inches in length. The oldest fisher
men tell us that they never knew the
small fry t shad to take the hook be
fore, and the fact is none can remember
of ever seeing young shad in the river
before It has been known that 111 the
spring the full grown shad come up
stream to spawn and that the small fry,
after being hatched, migrate to the
ocean where they come to maturity
only again to repeat their spawning
migration in the the. spring. It has
never been known, however, where or
how the little shad get back to the
ocean, and the circumstance mentioned
above is quite a curious one. v he little
fish bit, right along yesterday and thi
hoys had to be interfered with in their
sport' to stop their wanton destruction

Overwhelming Sentiments for Continua

Fall Kivkk. Mass.. October 1. Since
the reports of Saturday's meetings be

were published in the local papers there

gether with the disappointing result of
the conference between the spinners
and manufacturers, have combined to
make much hard feeling an 1 have led
to many bitter expressions on the part
of the men who are in close contact
with the working people. Today many
people have the idea that the manufac

union, and more particularly to fight
Robert Howard, the successful leader.

northwest colliery at Simpson, hear
Carbondale, caved in, William Mitchell,
George Arney, John Fanning and Ajv
drew Klapkowaky are today the objects
of demonstrative rejoicing in the vil
lage. When the cave-in occurred their death
was regarded as certain, but on Thurs
day night the rescuers at work heard
responses to their tapping and it was
believed that there was one man to es
cape the fall. Yesterday when it be
came a certainty that all four were
'alive the agony of Thursday was turned
into almost uncontrollable rejoicing.
They pushed their work more vigorous
ly then, and they pierced the black wall
that had made the prison, almost live
hours earlier than expected.
The men were faint from lack of food
and drink, but these in stimulating
quantities were supplied them, and
they were shortly after midnight re
stored to their friends, hundreds of
whom stood massed at the mine's mouth
to receive them. They were taken to
their homes in wagons with demonstra
tions of joy greeting them along the
way.
Their escape from death is regarded
almost a miracle, considering the ex
tent of the cave-in and the fact that
"t Z X.
had heard the warning of the
cracking roof and fled to a place ol
safety before the fall reached where

A VOICE FROM WISCONSIN.
Senator Mitchell Thinks Hill's Nomina
tion the Strongest I'nsainlo.
Washixgtox, October 1. Scnatoi
Mitchell, of Wisconsin, who is hereon
his way home from the seashore, says
of the nomination of his associate, Mr.
Hill, as governor of-New York :
"It is the strongest nomination tha
could have been made and it will have
a stimulating effect all through the
country. Ther is no doubt of Hill's
sincerity in saying he does not want
the nomination, for who would yield a
seat in the United States senate for the
governorship of New York?
"Tossibly the presidency, as a
sequel to t!ie governorship, might
make- the exchange '. - worth
while. I feel "fecrtuin, however,
that Mr. Hill did not want to enter the
gubernatorial, struggles of New York.
While there are rumblings -of disconr
tent from some of tbe anti-Hill factions
they will come around, and I have no
doubt he can carry the state if there is
a chance of carrying it."

A Cow It 11 11s into : Moving Train.
, A cow was killed on the W. N. &
N. railroad by the incoming passen
ger train Thursday afternoon in a
somewhat unusual manner. It i.s not
generally known, but there i.s an un
explained tendency in cattle on one
side of a railroad to cross the track
and get on the other side when they
see a train approaching.--. .
The engineer looking ahead saw
two cows start on a run to cross the
track. Estimating that the train was
too close upon them ior them to cross
even if he tried to slacken speed put
on steam and forged ahead to cut
them oft
This lie succeeded in do-
ing and thought the cows were safe,
but the firemen looking back saw one
ot them safe and the otlur lying by
by the side of the track where she
had been knocked over.
Investigation showed that the cow
had been running with such force
that she ran into the train striking
against the steps of the tender, this is
shown by the twisting of the irons -in
the steps, they are so bent that tl.ev
have got to be -taken to a black
smith shop to be worked on. The
The old cow it seems committed sui
cide. Another engineer of the road had
a similar experience a month or two
ago that cow however struck t!e
train still further back. She ran
against one of the cars. Newbern
