' Miller explained te Eck hoff that he weu'd be expected te person ate Jesse James, while he (Miller) himself assumed the part of Frank Ferd. " All you have te de," said Miller, "willbete jump around as if jeu wcre going te tackle me." The unique sport was scarcely beguu before it was brought te an abrupt ter mination.

A foolhardy attempt te escape contem plated imprisonment was made by two sailors belonging te the American line steamship British Prince near Philadel phia Thursday afternoon, which resulted in the drowning of one and the narrow escape of the ether, while the vessel was steaming past the mouth of Christiana creek. The two men had been stealing from the ship, and their misdoings had been reported te Censul Clipperton. Sufii eient evidence was adduced te prove the sailors guilty, and Captain Clipperton ad vised the commander te take them te Liverpool for trial. Neither one jef them were aware that they had been discovered until after the Prince.had weighed anchor. When passing Chester they were sum moned aft by Captain Frcath and told of what was in store for them upon the ves sel's arrival in Liverpool. The men re turned te the forecastle, and, from their subsequent action, appear te have deter mined upon a desperate action. The vessel had just passed the month of the creek, when one of the men Jehn Wagner, a native of Chelsea, Mass. ap proached the ttarbeard rail, and, without a word, leaped into the river. Ten seconds later he was followed by his companion, who, with the two words, "Here gees 1" jumped after Wagner. The action was se nearly simultaneous, and se quietly ac complished, that the ship's crew were hardly aware of what had happened. The two men struck out lustily the moment they reached the water, and for ten min utes swam bide by side. Suddenly Wag ner's mate threw up his arms, uttered a loud cry and sank. The captain of the schoenor, G. D. Slaymaker, which was almost abreast of the steamship, saw the two (struggling men in the water and heard the shriek, and at once ordered a beat te be lowered. By the time it reached the spot Wagner was utterly exhausted, and his companion was nowhere te be seen. The drowning man was dragged in, and the beat re turned te the schooner. Wagner was re suscitated after a great effort, and before Wilmington was reached was able te tell his story, lie declared his innoceuee and said that he had been bullied by the cap tain et tue t'riuce te such an extent that he and his companion determined te risk their lives in an effort te swim te the laud. He is still in Wilmington and will te-day be brought te Philadelphia te await the eiders of the British consul. hCIfc-STlFlCPlUliON KILLIaU. carver DcleiUs Bogardus ey line Bird In a Contest at LeulMllle.

A sheeting match was publicly an neunced te take place in the bor ough limits, but in the jnner circles it was likewise understood that somewhere in that section there would be a rattling inter-county cock fight and the attendance of sports was large, the interest intense and the betting spirited and plucky. The Lancaster birds have been in training for a long time and their owners felt confident they were equal te the emergencies of the fray and were willing te put their meney en them freely. Frem all sections visitors te the combat rendezvoused in Marietta and the crowd which crossed the river at the ferry above the town included sportsmen from Harri8burg, Yerk, Baltimore and ether distant towns. The river ran high and the floating ice made the csessing somewhat dangerous, bat It was accom plished, and the combatants met in a barn in Yerk county and the encounter began. The main was for $50 aside. Each party was te show nine birds, and fight all that fell in, and there was besides te be a " shake-bag" fight. Steel gaffs, an inch and a half long, were used. Seven pairs of cocks fell in, but only six battles were fought ; the Yerk county people, having lest $800 or $1,000 of their money at the end of the sixth battle, all of which were wen by Lancaster, gave up and retired from the field of battle in a demoralized condition. The whole affair was conducted quietly and decorously, thengh the Lan caster people could net conceal their ex ultation at the success which crowned their chickens and filled their wallets. Following is an account of the battles in detail : First : $45 a side ; Lancaster showed a brown red, high combed bird, G pounds ; Yerk, a dark, brown red, G pounds. Fight lasted three minutes ; sharp and geed ; Yerk bird's neck was broken.
