Wine-luster Journal. The Columbus Morning Times is reF,nsible lor the following story, which is certainly stränge, if true: A few elays ago a human freak was born to a family re-siding about six miles from this city. The attending physician describes it as being of the shape of a fish, and weighing nearly four pounds. Its head was of the shape of a fish's, and its eyes were very small and set far back on its head, and its mouth was the .shape of that or a sucker. Its !!- was completely covered with small, fine scales, and where the arms should have been were well developed fins. The lower part of its body was a stubby nature, there being nothing whatever in the shape of lower limbs. The freak was alive when bein and lived for near two hours.

The telegraph ojerator discovered the three thieves and shot at them. They returned the fire and ran. leaving their tools. At Annapolis Wednesday night, Montezuma Thursday night, Mecca Friday night probably the same men. When are some of these fellows, who are operating so extensively in our county, to be apprehended? Kockville Republican. William Martin, section boss of this place, received orders Monday merning to work his gang only eight hours per day until March 1. The same order was received by every section bciBS on the line, of course, and there were wild rumors afloat all day to the effect that the section me.i, almost as a unit, had or would refuse to work longer unless the order was revoked. So far as we have learned the Morris gang was the only one that struck, however, and the men all returned to work Tuesday morning. Tlie effect In the reduction of hours amounts to a difference of 20 cents a day to each man, the rate of wages being 11 cents per hour that is, 51.10 per day of ten hours and 88 cents for eight hours.

He had lain in4he woods back in the mountains of southern Kentucky for many days before getting an opportunity to get through the rebel lines and across the Ohio river into this state. The ol.i m.in was poor and was a baptist preacher. He began preaching around and soon got into the good graces of the good people in and atout Hurnsvilb. where the old man cast his lot, and aftei awhile sent for his family, consisting of his wife and six children. They were very poor and the old man soon after died and the family became objects of charity. The old man had served a time In the union army and afterward his widow got a pension, and later on the family became better circumstanced, and still "later on the old lady married again, and they moved West.

John - Conj don anel other notable sports were eon- , splcuous among the crowd when a News reporter went up to gaze at the blackboards and take a view of the state of ! affairs. It was tlie toughest looking crowd he had ever ieen. It was worso

than the race track gang and the prizefight crowd rolled into one. Hard times, however, seemed to he unknown and a steady flow of greenVacks poured Into the cashier's desk. Down t-dalrs the saloon did a rattling business and the street car line was found to have put cm extra cars for the accommodation of the gamblers.

As son as the nominating election is over and politician candidates are onc again "tln-ir own men" there are several cases of inhumanity that will be br.mght up by the president of the humane society. Appended is an enumeration jf a few of the cases: A gentleman on N. Fourtc-enth-st. heard a whining near his house last night, ami going out, found a dog tied with ropes so that he could net move. The dog will die from Its inhuman treatment and exposure to the cold in that hclpb-ss condition. A family lives in a certain part of this city In one sm-.ll room that has no window, and but one opening of any kind, that being a back door. The father ar.d mother are both unemployed and unniercilully bat their small son. There is a he rse in this city that is starving to death and Mr. MeYu will kid it. The hors- had had nothing to eat for a whole week when discovered. There is in this city a man with a very eiangerceis temper. Jteee-ntly in a bt of rage he ran at ids little son, who was standing in the room pi his bare feet, ard trampled on the bey's bare toes, not letting up on his stamping until the nails were crt:lied from the boy's oet. At another place there are three girls, ranging in age from ten to eighteen years, who were some time ago deserted by their parents, and who now make their living by prostitution.

There is a mysterious man -who for two or three days has been bothering the trainmen on the Kiehmond division between this city and New Castle. On last Morhlay a man epparenlly thirtyfive y-ars of ag- got aboard Conductor Finfroek's train al near New Castle. He remained on the platform, and Finfrock put him off at Ashland. Yesterday the same man was aboard another passenger train, getting on at Gree-nsfoik an l riding to New Castle, where h was put off. This morning Conduc tor 1- infr.x k saw tiie fellow get aboard fin tie rear platform when the train stopped at Greersl'ork. He went back after the train had started and asked him to tome in ami get warm. The fellow appeared badly scared and would have jumped off, had nt Finfrock by force made him enter the car. He had no money, though was well and comfortably dressed. Matt Moore who was on the train, watched the fellow carefuily and came to the opinion that he was insane. He aial Finfrock concluded to bring the man to Kiehmond and turn him over to the police to Vie held until he could be loked after. When the train slowed up at Oliva Hill, the man made a break for the door and before Condii-,tor Finfrock touhl catch him, lie bounded off in the snow, rolling down the steep embankment. A man answering the same description has been wandering about the country north of Centerville for a. week past, applying to farm housed for meals, but never entering within the homes. He is undoubtedly crazy and will freeze to d:-ath if allowed to wander about in such weather. Richmond Item.

The purpose of Mr. Arnold's examination was to ascertain what had become of the property he owned, prior to the failure of the bank. The witness looked aged and careworn, and his friends here were surprised nt the change he bad undergone physically in the past three months. His appearance and the tone in which he gave his testimony were indeed pathetic. The bank was the pet project of his life. He had devoted years of patient toil to its upbuilding, and the sweep-mi;' away of all was a blow which
