Rattle

of diver and shark. ...

C&tft&t Resulting

in a ^Dead Fish ancl

Bruised Man.

Andrew Cameron, a solid Scotch lad with red face and red hair, reached port the other day on the Ward line steamer Yucatan from Vera Cruz, Mexico, bringing with him a story of a fight with a shark, says the" New York Sun. Camero'n is a deep water diver, and says he has gone to greater deothg tfyan any other diver in the business. His.iatory «is sprrobpratejjLljy J. XV. Flejd, an engineer in tlie^^^vicjQbJ Pearson & Son, the contractors who are. rebuilding the basin whtfre Cisfmeron was employed.

Thpee months ago Cameron wais sent to Vera Cruz to work in the basin, built out from the main entrance to the port. He had three men to assist him, One of them a Mexican named King. The men worked on a float, with a ladder running down from it into the water. Cameron was clad in the regulation suit of armor worn by deep water divers. He had been working for-two months and a half without accident. During his frc^iiett'deScents he had discerned at times the aa^l'ines of dogfish or young sharks but these 'h'syer bothered him.

At about 6:3ft o'clock on the morning of Octoberr16tb he,, went -eighty feet below the surface) -Besides tiiS' tools he had a dirk inches wide in the beltMpf-his -rubber' suit. "XjMtl 15ca"t?S loose pile and had startup'tfie bolts, which had warli^if qwtv'* -ie remarked, "when I was eoQS£j{Ws of somefhiug passing over me and obscwiHDg^Se' Hght. I leaned back and saw a sfojS^uiiy ten ffeet'long, apparently about to iKilkei? thy. He was moving around not ma»-. thtsm -a, .foo^ -above my helmet. I dropge?[-i!\0' wrench which I was working witU.an^ *snatched out the dirk. I moved my iread Jo bne side, and reaching up slit the shark's.' throat twice. He sank down around 'my -feet, and 1 tried to get behind a pile. I pushed myself as quickly as I could, but the heavy lead clogs on my feet would not let me move as fast as I wanted to. Before»,iUflawki draw in my left leg behind the oile the shark turned over on his back and made a rush at me. His jaws closed on myleft leg, and his teeth went clean through the quarter inch rubber cloth. The force with which he pushed against me confused me so much that I did not feel the bite. After this he ISjf go and floated upward toward my ,$ead, •with his belly exposed. I drove the^AMrflllfo bis belly and I ripped it up towa.^tfl^is mouth, cutting his stomach through.^. JHe then floated up IO the surtace. "When I first stabbed him I had signaled to King to be hauled io the surface, but he misunderstood my signal, fortunately. If h« had started to haul me up I feel sure that the shark "Wolild have bitten one or Tioth my legs o!r, as he would then have had a clean chance-st them. The boots which bis teeth made jn the rubber clqth let the water into my t6se"to my chest, where it was held by the air pressure. I signaled to King immediately after plunging the dirk into the' shark's belly, but. his carcass had reached the top before King got the. signal and guessing, what had occurred he |iad started to. haul-me up in a hurry. When I reached the ladder hanging from the float I was too much exhausted to seize it, and they had to lift me on the float by main !orce. "My left knee was dislocated and the flesh below it lacerated. I remained under the surgeon's care for several days until the Yucatan arrived. My left leg is party paralyzed."'

Cameron" fcays he has made the deepest dive on record, having descended 200 feet Into Loch Craig in Scotland on April 16 last, to recover the bodies of an engineer and fireman in a locomotive that had fallen into the loch. -He will not appear in a dime museum, tout wiH eail on Saturday for England.

SOBRE LAS OLAS.

That Was the Appropriate Air Played by the Mexican Band.

*'A Mexican knows when things are right and proper," said- the man who had just returned from a visit to our sister republic. "The Mexican has sense of the appropriates® of things. When a public calamity takes place he knows just what to do." 'S that tso?" asked the other man, who didn't care two whoops on the cattle j"ail for. the whole €1 Mexico. "Yep." answered the traveler, that's so: When I was dowJL-in Vera Cruz-this fall a catastrophe took place. A lot of officials and ladies and Offcer visitors went-out to in»pect the haxbar^iA..s

There wasn't room for the official band so it stayed on the wharf and played tunes for the excursion. •'Everything went along all right until the engineer, who was a Mexican, and. didn't know any more about an engine than he knew about a porterhouse steak, let the water in the boiler get too low and then filled it. When the boiler hurst the officials, the ladies and visitors were ejected from the boat and scattered over the harbor. "The leader of the band noted this quickly and desiring to show that he was strictly onto his job, struck up the favorite Mexican air 'Sobre las olas,' which means 'over the waves.' "And that's why I maintain that the Mexican is a man with his mind on what is appropriate to the occasion."

/'HOUSE USED FOR SMUGGLING.

Structure Erected on Mexican Border Line at Ovogales, Ariz. Washington, Nov. 15.—A curious case of smuggling on 4he Mexican border line has been discovered recently by the government officials at Nogales, Ariz., and equally curious action has been taken to suppress M.

By this means, according to official reports, the laws would be evaded by backing up teams .laden with iMexican goods to »the rear door of the house, and the goods were then taken out of the door on the American side and carried away.

The case was reported by the colltctor ol customs and he asked that no townsite be allowed unless there was a street set apart on tse border line to prevent this evasion. The general land office has now acted on this proposition.

Accompanied Him to the Altar. A nephew of James Cardinal Gitobons was recently married at New Orleans, and the. wedding ceremony was marked by eome customs not usually ueed upon such occasions.

At the aitai Mr. O'Brien, father of -the bride, and Mrs. Gibbons, the bridegroom's mother,' linked the hands of their children and the Very Rev, Father Byrne proceeded with the c^temony. He eloquently addressed the young couple on the duties of their future state and then pronounced the •words whicfr forever united their Roving •hearts. During 'the singing of the bridal contract Mrs. Bas&ich, of St. Joseph's choir, rendered the "Ave Maria" of Millard in an exquisite manner. As the bridal coftege filed down the aisle, friends gathered In the vestibule of the churc'n.and pressed forward -to extend their congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Gibbons left immediately for Abita Springs, where they Will spend their honeymoon. Mr. and Mrs. Gibbon? were the recipients of many elegant and costly gifts. From Cardinal GibSons came a handsome cabinet.—New York Commercial-Advertiser.

Ae Broke It.

A good natured darky at one of the down town hotels the other evening delivered himself of one of those expressions for which his race is famous in their efforts to keop np with the modern languagr of white men. A belated traveler bad stepped into the barroom for a "smile.'. The light was low, and the proprietor called the darky to turn the eleotrioity on in one of the incandescent lamps. Instead of turning the light on he broke the candle off. "Well, John, why don't you turn that light on?" the proprietor asked impatient

The African fumbled about the apparatus and stammered out, "Boss, I—ah—I reckon I'ze broke the circus off," and the thirsty traveler went out with a double smile.—St Louis Globe-Democrat.

The coal inen of Terre -?H«mte liave not yet been notified, but nevertheless the rate on coal is to ba increased^ ..This does not apply to Chicago and othef" cities, but only to Terre Haute. The rate' ciufting has be^n on for more than six months in fact, it has been on since last spring." IT yrai several weeks prior to the strike that the roads made the cut on the rates into Terre Haute. The cut was first made by one of the local roads. The competing lines howled long and loud at the reduction, but the.offending line would not yield from its position.

Then the strike came' on and for months none of the roads carried any coal. When tSe miners resumed work the road which first made the cut was appealed to to-come back to the old rate. It refused, to'do this and there was nothing left for the others to do but continue hauling coal for,~2» cents a ton tnto Terre Haute. Withing the last few days, however, the roads have had a conference and as a result of the meeting the rate on coal into Terre Haute goes to 30 cents a ton.

OPERATIONS ON THE B. & O.

Thfe Financial Shqw/ng Madts. in President ., Cowan's Report. The annual report of President Cowan of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co., submitted to the stockholders at Baltimore yesterday, shows gross earnings for the year ending June 30, 1897, of $25,582,122, an increase of $1,337,340 over the previous year and $2,764,940 more than in 1895. The' total expenses of the line were $26,012,093, an increase of $2,428,673. The increase is very frankly explained by the statement of the large gums required in maintenance of way and maintenance of equipment. The receivers have replaced a largjf'fi&jnber of old. bridges built many years, wifb,iriodern steel structures, capable of carrying the heaviest trains, and have made other^ Improvements, besides putting all equipment in first-class condition.

Jt'l

The deficit for the year|,^j|^ $1,177,120, but had it not been for the increase in expense of maintenance of w|fy^iid of equipment, the earnings would been moire than sufficient to have pai^.t|i^ interest an the bonded indebtedness ofj'tH&road.

The report shows a radic^i .^auction made In the amount to the cregii^of profit ahd loss. A special committee t^e board, was appointed to examine the of the company and re-value the rolljijg£-stockv stocks and bonds and certain ot£pr ^assets. ,This committee made a radical reduction in the value of the rolling stock, stocks and bonds and amounts-advanced for. construction to the various shubordinate branches during the year past, and certain other assets of the company, reducing the total to the credit of profit and loss by about $20,000j000. The balance sheet gives a very clear and full statement of assets and liabilities.

WAS IN THE CHURCH, ,,

Charge That Spite Work Caused the Arrest, of Raleigh Flagg. Raleigh Flagg is a young miner "of Seeleyville.. He was indicted by the recent grand jury for dislurbing^a. public meeting and his father gave the bonbfor bis temporary freedom/

Both father and son work in the mines at Seleyville. The old man has the reputation of a most exemplary citizen and the son has hitherto been regarded as worthy of the father. They claim there is ill feeling at the bottom of the affair. And they accuse the member's of the church at Seeleyville with Raleigh's persecution.

It seems there was a great awakening among the people of Seeleyville recently and the church .was reinforced by many recruits. The warfare against the evil one waged fiercely and there was hardly a hardened. old sinner in the coriSfmatiity who did at some time or other constitute the "object of the exhortations of the regenerated. Among the outsiders approached were old man Flagg and Raleigh, "the^father joined the cfiurch, but the son remafS^d aloof. He was begged, exhorted, threa£eneji and finally condemned, so say the Fl^ggs,, beca.use he would not affiliate himself (Wijtji the denomination. ft,"'

The' Flaggs say that this refusal of the youth seemed to madden the,groused members of the church and they contracted a feeling of hate for the bay. ..Raleigh says that he was standing near the church one night while the meetings wejje in progress and near a crowd of other lads. Someone made a thoughtless commotion, not enough, he asserts, to be heard inside. He was noted by the deacon, who was standing in the vestibule, and his name reported to the grand jury. He knew nothing about tBe matter until the arrest w&j made.

IN A SANITARIUM.

Mrs. Woofcworth in a Chicago Refuge" for the Insane. Mrs. John Wcodsworth, who was reported, as having eloped with another man than Mr. John Woodsworth, is safely ensconced in a private sanitarium for the insane in Chicago. It will be remembered that ber husband was said to be looking for her two weeks ago, he claiming th£t'&e had run away.

It has developed, however, that he quietly transported her to the metropolis, and placed her where medical attention could be had without hindrance. Mrs. Woodsworth, who was a member of the Central Christian church choir, was present at the evening meeting, and was taken to the depot by her husband immediately after.

Woodsworth had taken steps for obtaining a divorce, having retained the law firm of Miller*& Willey. He had been "egged" on to this alternative by the questionable actions of his wife. The couple are from Robinson, 111., and belong to the first families of the place. Woodsworth is quite wealthy. He sonsidered applying for a divorce at that town, but, as he said, made up his Jhind he could not obtain it, as all the lawyers in Robinson were related to his. i$fe.

Some most peculiar acdons'o^ the woman in connection with her actions upward them, however, finally led Woocl^vjorth to the conclusion that she was insane^.

He consulted with her father and both agreed upon the matter. It .was thought best io place her in a privajenjjnitarium, as her abberration is considered b\jt temporary. The divprce suit will not fcje~ pressed.

JOiHtfT B. KETCHAM'S DEATH

Man Who 'Figured In a Sensational Suit Oh'.cago. ..a The poirt^mbrfem exan^tfcUon heW tot Dr. E. T. Hall, of the coroner's'office today, on •the body of John B. Ketcham, the millionaire banker, who di«d Sunday morning, revealed the fact that death was due to chronic alcoholism. No trace of any poison was found.

A more definite report on the case will be made to the coroner tomorrow after Dr. Hall has examined the stomach anc( liver.

An. inquest will be .heid by. the coroner at 10 o'clock tomorrow at 3421 Indiana avenue, where Mr. Ketcham died, and it is probable the verdict will entirely remove the cloud from the young and beautlfu} widow who was married to Mr. Ketcham September 14th, in Milwaukee, and who by the provisions ot his will becomes heir to his estate.

Those present at. 'the examination today-, were Or. -E5. P. Noel, coroner's physician, and his assistant, Joseph Springer, while Mrs. Kettfham was represented by Dr. De Veng, •the family physician, Dr. J. T, Kiernan and Lawyer ©4 C. .Hansen, who drew the wilU. The post-mortem revealed the fact that we stomach," liver ind kidneys were all badly -liseased, the organs being reduced, to a state

WheTe it appeared that recovery, or even prolongation ol life was impossible. Or. De Veng explained that the deceased had for a ldng t'.ma been a victim of alcoholism and against ther' express wishes of himself, and others who took an interest in him, he drank intoxicants steadily and persistently. His death, the physician said, he expected and at no time during the last two months would the news of his death .have caused him a surprise.

George Ketcham, a brother who resides In Toledo, is in the city stopping at the Auditorium", and he was among those at -the Ketcham home today. He was not surprised at his brother's death, bis greatest concern being thftf 'the newspapers took so much interest in the affair.

Joseph H. Keller, the butler employed by Mrs. Ketcham, was taken into custody by the police and sharply interroga ted. Nothing was {•earned from him, however, save that he had always thought Ketcham and his mistress were married Until he heard they had been married in Milwaukee. He. said Ketcham was, rational when he, made his will to. which Keller was a witness.

Chicago, Nov". 15.—Jdhn B. Ketcham, once a millionaire, prominent in social circles and defendant in one of the most' sensational .divorce proceedings ever held in Chicago, died eariy yesterday", morning at No. 3421 Indiana avenue. According to the statements of a woman who' claims to have married him September 24, the entire fortune of the oaptalist •has been made over -to her absolutely by his last will, and testament. Friends and relatives of Mr. Ketcham, when (old i-t the dr* cumtitances of hW '4eath, expressed surprise at the story of, his alleged recent conjugal contract, and doubted its. o.Ms".'?ace.

Mr. Ketcham's' second wife, from whom he was separated in October, 1836, on a settlement of $100 000, lives in To:edo, Ohio. When she was permitted by Judge Kohlsaat to assume her maiden' nama of Nettie Poo, she abdicated* all claims to his estate. Mr. Ketcharo's brother and mother,' who reside, in Toledo, are spoken of as possible contest at ns of. the documents if such was signed previous to his demise. Mr. Ketcham was the eledest son,of ValentineH. Ketcham, of Toledo, who at 'the time of his death was the wealthiest man in that city. John B. Ketcham inherited between $500,000 and $1,000,000 from his father's estate.

The.tlecline in the stock Was not due entirely to "sh^rt selling," as some of the manipulators would bare it ap•pear, but rather to the selling out by per* •mm in position to know all the ins and outs of the trust.

It was announced on July 15th that the Standard Oil clique had bought the control of the sugar trust The fact -was again made evident when Wall street was recently shocked by the announcement of H. O. Havsi&eyer's serious illness. Sugar stock tumbled rapidly .from 144 to 123, and even then it appeared that the bottom had not been reached. In order to stay the decline a semi-official statement was issued to the effect that Sit. tlavemeyer's illness oculd not affect the sugar trust, because "H. O. Havemeyer had only enough stock to enable him to qualify as a directoh."

As the ownership of ten shares only is necessary for a director of the American Sugar Refining Company it seemed hardly creditable that Mr. Havemeyer's holdings in the gigantic combination whibh he himself engineered could have dwindled to such ah extent. But this is literally true. Now that the head of the trust, whose careful management alone enabled it to hold the trade, earn handsome dividends, and accumulate a surplus, was really out of it, tlrt anxiety of his friends to sell their holdings was easily understood.

TRUST FIGHTS FOR "EXISTENCE. The stock in the last week under the influence of this inside selling dropped from 132 to 126%. Buying for "covering" hoisted the stock to its closing price on Saturday of 130%. The trust now has a fight on •hand for its existence. It is only by hold,ing absolute control of the manufacture of? sugars that It-can -hope to make 'its business profitable and continue to. pay dividends on its immense capital of $75,000,000. Thft, question which is agitating Wall, atraftt,therefore, Is whether Mr. Havemeyer will retain the presidency of the company,

While the beet sugar Industry is becoming a serious menace to the trust, right here in the center of its trade two new opposition refineries are being rushed toward completion. These are the Arbuckle Bros, and Claus Dorscher refineries, both in Bropklyn.

The capacity Of these refinieres {p barrels each a day. The manufacture. of 8,000 barrels daily in opposition to the trust

will, it is believed, cut very seriously -into/

its business. The Arbuckle Brcs. ccmisroiric

machine for packing sugar in pasteboard boxes of various sizes to be supplied to the •retail trade. Instead of. obtaining the",defined sugar in barrels and placing clerks at work wrapping the sugar in bundles for consumers, they can buy it all readyifor delivery. HAWAIIAN CONTRACT TERMINATES.

Another blow to the trust is the expiration of the five years' contract with' ther Hawaiian suga* (planters. It expires 'on January 1st and was not to be renewed. After that date only 50,000 tons will be refined by the Western sugar refinery, wlflch the trust owns, and the balance of 225,000 tons will be taken by the opposition refiners. The Arbuckles and Claus Dorscher have' contracted for 90,000 tons, and the balatfqe will be divided between a new refinery how being built near San Francisco and the California Beet Sugar and Refining company, which has a capacity of 60,000 tons.

Foreign refined fugars, notwithstanding, the protection afforded by the Dingley tariff bill, are being imported in increased quantities. Last week one sale of 2,000 bags of Australian refined sugar was made In this market The price was 4.79 cents a pound net, which Included both the differential and countervailing duties, amounting to 2.37 cents a pound. The sugar refined by the trust is quoted at 4.72 net cash a pound, equal to 3 cents more a hundred pounds.

STANDARD OIL CL1QLEU Now that the Standard Oil chqtfe fs Jtf' control of the sugar trust a fight xor mas-' tery is expected. The well known policy of"rule or ruin," which *has been characteristic of the Rockefellers in their conduct 0t the Standard Oil monopoly, is looked for An* the sugar trust.

The cash in hand—mainly surplus^-of the sugar trust amounts to $35,000,000. This «f? fords the sinews of war for a long and bitter campaign. Wall street fully expects it soor

SENATOR FAIRBANKS A CALLER.

He and Sefi&tdr Elkiris Confer With the President Regarding Appointments^*^ Washington, Nov. 35.—Senator Fairbanks of Indiana and Senator Blklns of West Virginia saw the president today upon matters pertaining principally to appointments/ their state, but also discussed with Mr. McKinley the probable policy of the coming* session of congress. Both senators agr^ with htm in the matter of pacific meiaur.e^ regarding Cuba and Spain. The president is quite anxious1 to know what prospects there are for currency legislation and asks different senators who call for their opinion.

Senator Harris of Kansas called on ,-thp, president regarding the sale of the Kansas.' Pacific railroad. He said be believed the Kansas Pacific, like the Union Pacifia, would bring the full amount of the government claim, and though as toythe Central Pacific there might be some difficulty, yet be" inclined to the opinion tiat the go^rnnftfiUt would get Its debt on this account a)so jyigjd in full.

While pressure is still being brought'to bear on the president for appointment* lie* fef 'giving little time to such matters and jg{s-

fers-o work on bis message. It Is probable that'the president will make no recommendation la bis message upon the subject of general arbitration. The fact that he made rhisi views clear on that subject iii bis iuaugural address and that bo arbitration treaty will be pending wben the annual message is sent In, makes it unnecessary to say anything further on the matter at this time,

WESTERN SUGAR REFINERIES. A Wall street news bureau issued on Saturday the following statement concerning these refineries: "Some interest has been excited by the fact that several itejfe beet sugaf refineries are about fo be bult In different parts of the country. An authority on sugar matters says that there are ten beet sugar refineries now in operation with a total capacUy of about 4,200 tons per day during the setfson of 120 days.
