The Latest Fish - St6y-TWj
latest fish story comes from New J ersey,, ,m
Lately, in the interior of that State a
mild looking countryman entered a ' rail-'
road car, bearing a bundle tied np itt '- a6
hankercnief, which be placed ' under'- hm'K
seat at tbe end of the car. After travel-. f
ing along for about half an hour, a , lady
sitting in front of tho countryman was.,
observed to wove uneasily in her seat,
and to cast savage glances:at a seemingly?
respectable man by her side. -' .i--' r-i i
In a few moments afterward another
lady, still further in the ,frontt "became
uneasy,',' and at last,:-ising to her ' feet,,
recruested , that some gentleman" would'
protect her from an elderly looking t
tleman by her side, and whomsho stated j
had insulted her' r.
A dozen persons offered their assist-.
aDce, and before tho accused could speak
in Ins own defense, his hat was lammea
over his eyes, and he was dragged t- th'
rear of the car. -A' v '' .ul'i

proper conduct, r A rnih : was made , orf
lupulter number two, but that gentleman
vigorously defended himself with a large
walking stick which be happened. to have
(and which, by the way, was the cause ,
of the lout troubles, bis accuser. , stating
that he had indecoriously been rapping
her ankles under the seat with the same),
and while the struggle to get at him was"
still in progress somebody in the front- f)
the car shouted,, "there's a snake on tba
floor." A.. Fceue then ensued. jThoa
ludics in the car clambered -up,, op ' he
seats aud many got ou " the "arms " and
backs of the same. One elderly, maiden
managed to etand on the ' backs of " two .
seats, in the best circus manner 'possible 'x
under the circumstances,' while .'a young!
mother threw her baby into the -parcel-...
rack and then hung convulsively to ,
ventilator.
The confusion awoke the countryman,8
who, on being told of the - ?nake,; first
felt in his bundle aud then' exclaimed,-,
"I'm blamed if that old eel . Uaiut got.,
loose," started for the front and soon v re
turncdj grasping firmly an immense eel,'
which he had caught while out fishing"
but which, when brought iuto the car,
had wended its way to the front, loveing-
ly caressiug the ladies encountered - on
the way. Apologies given and .received
strengthened everything in that car but
the hat that was jammed down, and the' ,
countryman leaving at the next v station,
no blood was drawn. ,.,' ,Js '
