The Senator Tells of a Thrillinj
perience Which He Had
Ex-
WHILE TRTIXG TO LAKD A TARPON.
A Lons
Battle, Fonjht Scientifically, Be
sults in a Draw,
THE COLO.NEL GETT1KG THEFISn'SHEAD
Spnring of words as Senator Quay Bras
when approached on the subject of politics,
he had a whole host of interesting experi
ences to relate of his recent fishing excur
sion in Florida. "When a Philadelphia
Times reporter broached the subject of tar
pon fishing to the jnnior Senator from Penn
sylvania, in his rooms at the Continental
just after he had breakfasted, Mr. Quay
swung round in his chair, and with charac
teristic animation proceeded to relate his re
cent experiences on Indian river.
"I expected," he said, "to have a good
deal of sport among the tarpon, but the
weather was so bad that I had but three
days' genuine sport alter these great and
gamey fish. For six days I was storm-bound
after we started from Punta Kassa, and
when the cold snap from the Horth reached
us that ended the fishing, for the tarpon
will not bite in cold weather. 'With a
heavy, stout rod and a21-thread line on a
big reel, tarpon fishing is not the sport it
ought to be. If, however, the fisherman
uses a 15-thread line, with a ligbt, flexible
rod, he will find the fish has at least an een
cliance to get away. Indeed, I saw one of
my friends, and a snlendid fisherman at
that, last spring lose three fine tarpon in a
(ingle hour. Mr. "Wood, of Hew York, is
recognized as the most persistent angler
after this big finny came in all Florida, and
I cordially agree'with him when he says
that the tarpon is the coming game fish lor
sporting fishermen.
DELIGHTS OF THE SPOBT.
"Ihe abundance of this fish, the desperate
fights they make, their taking the still bait,
and the magnificent response the silver king
gives when securely hooked by immediately
leaping many feet out of the water, his swilt
running between leaps, his beautiful shape,
and bis bright and superb metallic Inster,
added to his magnificent proportions, make
this kind of fishing a delight to the fortunate
sportsman. The very difficulty always ex
perienced in bagging a good-sized tarpon
adds wonderfully to the joy of the sport. All
tou need is a courageous man to row your
boat, which is usually a light skiff with a
sail the fishiug skiff nearly twice the size
of the 'sharpie' used by Peter Goose, who is
Alderman McMullen's fisherman, confidante
and guide at Atlantic City.
"I have killed, with "William K. Leeds,
half a dozen red drum in a morning off
Bngantine Beach with half the trouble it
has cost me to bring to boat a 96-pound
tarpon with a 15-ounce flexible rod and a
strong 18-thread line. The last big fish I
caught this spring was in the Indian river,
and I played him one hour and SO minutes
before Ben Sooy, who was with me, got the
prize into our little boat. But this is the
very acme of tarpon fishing, for with a nig
reel and a strong cord and a wire Bnood, any
man can hook on to a tarpon and let him
run the little boat up the Indian river till
the great fish is tired out, and then the
fisherman pulls his game in by main force.
"But there is no skill in that. It's a
good deal like 'bunching' quail and shoot
ing them on the ground. Kone but a pot
hunter will do that, and so no real sports
man wants to fi;bt a tarpon without giving
him a chance for his Hie.
THE LARGEST HE EVER CAUGHT.
"Xhe last tarpon I caught in March, with
Ben Sooy, weighed 112 pounds. I hooked
him with a fresh mullet for bait (the best
"bait known.) and he dragged the boat for
three miles up Indian river, and jumped ten
feet out of water, his silver scale shining
like the metallic roofs of the Quebec houses
in the morning sun. It took us just two
hours to bag that fish, and then both my
boatman and myself were too tired to fish
any more that day.
"Our party of three," continued the Sen
ator, "in one week of good weather in the
early part of March (and the best month is
April) hooked 16 tarpon, but only killed
ten and six got away, partly from lack of
skill and mainly because the strong and
gamey fish disgorged the hook, which they
are apt to do if not caught in the cartilege
near the mouth. Only in two instances did
they succeed in breaking the line.
"There was one singular instance hap
pened during my last trip, when I had Ben
Sooy with me and a colored boy of 16 to
manage the boat, while Ben was tn help
manage tbe gaff and Keep an eye on the ne
gro bov with the paddle.
"Just belore sunset with a lot of new lines
rigged by Krider, wc anchored in my favor
ite spot in Indian river, where the water was
only four feet deep, as the big fish feed here
and the tarpon always bites best in shallow
water. Xou usually see the fish before he
takes the bait.
A MOMENT
OF AKXIETY.
I carefully nut
on the mullet mvself
and made the cat from the sail-boat far out
on ths river. Not six minutes had elapsed
h.i:.i, uut icu ccv uuiu my uoai aoove me
glassy surface of the sluggish river, the tail
of a magnificent tarpon appeared directly
above the mullet bait. Then I knew the
fun was about to begin. There was a sud
den swirl in tbe water, and Ben Sooy and
the negro came near tumbling into the river
from sheer excitement. Seizing my supple
and bending rod I pulled off and gave the
running fish some 30 feet of slack line.then
when my line was taut I gave a sudden
twist to my wrist and made a good strike.
There was a mighty leap, the sheen of sil
ver was in the air, a fierce toss of the head
like that of a wild Texas steer, and 'whizz'
went my big reel.
"I stood up in tbe boat with my hand on
the reel and bade the negro paddle for his
life to help the fish pull the boat Every
five minutes the tarpon repeated his evolu
tions, shaking his broad jaws each time he
jumped to dislodge the barb. But he was
securely hooked, and I quietly enjoyed his
exciting rushes and enormous leaps out of
water, giving him each time he rushed
plenty of line. I was wearing the monster
out fast, and I felt glad. But stopl Fifty
feet away I noticed a huge fin cutting the
still water like the bow of a steam yacht
The tarpon, too, as if he had human feeling
(he certainly exhibited human fear), soon
knew that an immense shark was around
and that a new danger threatened him. He
shot ahead like a streak of summer light
ning. A SHABK ATPEAES.
"But he was weary. I pulled him gently
toward me. He stopped. The great shark,
intent on a full supper, circled swiftly round
both boat and fish. I felt a chilly sensation
myself to see tbe big fellow outlined in the
water as he darted under our boat, revealing
14 feet of his spotted back. He doubled,
prepared to play the same trick. I yelled
to Ben:
" 'Strike him with the oar in the jaw.'
And Ben struck him a powerful blow that
made him swerve, but only for an instant.
"I pulled the tarpon to the boat's side and
said: 'Ben, ihoot the shark with your re
volver and get the gaff 1" but Sooy was too
much rattled with the conflict and never
thought of his 'gun.' The tarpon acted as
if crazy with fear and did his best to get
away irom both enemies. It was too late.
I had the fish within teu feet of the skiff,
and he came belly up, bleeding at the gills
plentifully. Suddenly cleaving the water,
the big man-eater came like an arrow.
There was a splash more blood on the
water the tarpon was lifted clear out of the
river, and the spot where a live fish had
been was crimson with blood.
"The negro danced and yelled: Well,
boss, if I ever 'afore seed anythiug like dat'
The shaik disappeared.
"I pulled In, feeling a dead weight on my
line and brought up the head of a magnifi
cent tarpon that would have tipped the
scales at 140 pounds. There was nothing to
car. I ordered Ben Sooy to sail the boat
toward shore and we got out and got a good
supper."

rSI-XCIAt. TELEGUAM TO THE DISrATCn.1
Buffalo, April 4. Grover Cleveland
was on Mav 19, 1879, appointed referee by a
Supreme Court Justice in the suit of "Will
iam Baynes against the trustees of the Buf
falo State Asylum for the Insane. Mr.
Baynes was a contractor on the building,
and alter he had begun work the plana, were
changed, involving much additional labor
and expense. The claim was disallowed by
the asylum authorities. It amounted to
nearly 4,000. After vain efforts to effect a
settlement Contractor Baynes brought suit
to mandamus the board to pay him. Mr.
Cleveland was appointed referee to take tes
timony. The hearings have dragged along
ever since, the suit slowly progressing from
time to time, while the referee became
Mayor, then Governor and afterward Presi
dent. Since Mr. Cleveland's retirement from
the White House most ot the testimony has
been taken, the hearings having been held
in Mr. Cleveland's office in New York. Mr.
Baynes feared to press the matter because
he thought it might prejudice the referee
against him, and although he needed the
money, was obliged to wait for the tardy
justice which lie finally got, in part, at
least, for Referee Cleveland allowed 53,
368 27, including interest, as the amount
due. Mr. Cleveland modestly put his fees
at only 200, despite the time it took to try
the case. Justice Lewis to-day confirmed
the report and manuaniused the asylum
people to pay Mr. Baynes.

.SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE PISPATCH.1
St. Louis, April 4. The most remark
able escape from death ever chronicled in
railway annals in the West, occurred this
morning, on the "Wabash "Western, two
miles north of the town of St. Charles, and
24 miles from this city. Five of the six
coaches of the Omaha Express left the track
and rolled down an embankment 35 feet
high, yet strange to say, no one was Killed
and only one person seriously injured. The
latter is "Walter T. Shoop, mail clerk, who
has a compound fracture of the leg, and is
burned about the arms. O. F. Guthrie, St.
Louis, sustaineda fracture of the ribs; Allan
McDowell, Masonic State Lecturer, H. C.
Smith and B. I,. Sewart, and J. C. Cuff,
mail clerks, were slightly injured.
Mr. Shoop said: "We were on the way
from Council Bluffs to St Louis, and were
moving at the rate of about 35 miles an hour,
when tbe accident occurred. The first inti
mation I had of anything wrong was when
I heard a rumbling noise and felt the car
bumping and shaking. I jumped tomy feet
at once, having been aroused from a heavy
slumber, and just as my feet touched the
floor, the car toppled over and down the
embankment."

.srECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCn.I
Otta-wa, April 4. Samuel Fraser, a
Scotchman 76 years of age, who was a gold
miner and argonaut of '49 in California,
was married in Burlington on Saturday to
his adopted niece, Aggie Barr, aged 16.
The Ker. Mr. Abraham, Presbyterian min
ister, officiated, much against his will, as he
had opposed the marriage. Subsequently
there was a wedding supper, which was in
terrupted by a gang of men and boys bent
on a charivari and armed with tin pans,
trumpets and rocks. The best man bought
the crowd off for ?5 and there was no further
trouble.
The ancient bridegroom has had an event
ful career. He was a gold miner in Austra
lia and later on in California, and is re
puted to have made and lost half a dozen
fortunes before he came to Ottawa.
Fraser is said to be very fond of the girl
and has been impatiently waiting until she
attained her 16th year. Aggie also claims
to be much in love with the old fellow.

our new, beautiful and stylish stock. We have the advantage
of an immense variety here, found nowhere else and our

Our Boys' and Children's Clothing
Is the subject of universal comment on our streets. You
rarely meet a well-dressed youth but his clothing bears the
proverbial imprint of perfection so characteristic of Gusky's
clothing. The prices are right, the styles correct, and that's
what sells them. Parents should come and see what they can
save before investing in
CONFIRMATION SUITS
Which we are showing in all the most popular materials, and
cuts in the latest and most fashionable styles.
