He gaye as one af bis reasans for
this belief that it was net reason

that will bear a piessute 3,000 lbs.
With his two bands graspiD-j a

has broken aud which the next
second falls to the floor.

A TALKATIVE JURIST.
Jadge
eady Gives His Opinion of
Sarah Althea.
A Washington dispatch says
Judge Mathew P. Deady of the
Oregon Federal Circuit and Dis
trict court.betore whom fhe famous
Sharou-Hill case was brought to a
hearing, is in Washington.
Judge Deady wrote the opinion
declaring the famous marriage cou
tract a forgery, and Judge Sawyer
wrote a concurring opinion.
On being interviewed oy a rost
reporter Judge Deady said: "I
came East as a delegate to the
Episcopal convention in New York.
Yes. I sat in the Sharon-Hill case.
"The fact is that woman was
merely his mistress. He gave her
$300 a month, furnished her mag
nificent quarters and spent his
uiney on her lavishly. Her in
fluence on Judge Tepry was un
doubtedly bad. She urged him to
acts bejond even his own inclina
tion. In November she will be
tried before me for resisting the
authorities. It is very likely she
uiav at s uie fnvcrable opportunity
attempt the lives of Tustice Field,
Judge Sawyer or myself. I pre
dict she will die a violent death."'

Tk.y Clog Up Canals and Prevent
Water-Wheels From Running.
The following pretty large fish
story is told yby telegraph from
Washington: Western sportsmen
who delight to handle the rod an.l
reel and starch for the finny tribe
should come-to Washington, The
wa'er mains hereabouts are filling
up with eels. In some places
along the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal in the District there are so
many eels that they interfere with
the workings of the locks, and the
wheels in some of tke old-fashioned
watcrmills are leported to be
clogged up now and then by this
long, slippery and slimy species f
fish.
At the last session of the Mary
land Legislature a bill was passed
providing lor the extermination ot
eels In the Wyconiico river and the
sum of $5000 was appropriated for
the purpose. The State Fish Com
missioners wore instructed to ex
pend this sum and report the re
suit of their labors. Their work
has been well done, but they eay
that the nuisance has not been
abated. The money was expended
in bounties, 2 cents being paid for
each eel delivered to any of the six
inspectors distributed along the
river. The enormous number of
7,iOD eels were captured and paid
for and Sir. Toad vine, one of the
commissioners, says there are more
eels in the Wjcomico river to-daj
than when he began his work ot
extermination. They vary in
length from two feet to an inch.

dians. He was of a highly re
spectable lthodc Island family and
a graduate of Yale college. About
the time he completed his studies
the discovery of gold in California
occurred. " OIney joined tbe.
Argonauts of '49, and came wmt
to seek his fortune. He left behind
him a sweetheart to whom he was
to be married as soon as he found
the fortune and returned. The
girl grew weary of waiting, as
many another of her sex has done.
About a year after he reached the
coast Olney received a letter an
nouncing the marriage of his be
trothed. He never got over the
blow.
Drifting about for a time he lo
cated in Oregon and was made
sheriff of Wasco county. In those
days there was usually excitement
enough in the duties of sheriff to
banish the memory of the past.
But after while Olney got tired of
hunting down criminals. He gave
up his office, crossed the Columbia
river and became a member of the
Yakima tribe. His adoption was
in good faith on his part, fc he
took an Indian wile ana raised a
family. As his children grew up
he educated them with care, and
when he died he left them well
provided for. The Olneys arc in
fluential in the tribe, and they ex
ercise that influence for good. But
they have no thought of leaving
the reservation. They seem to
have inherited from their father
his disinclination of white society.
