FOR ROBBING THE MAILS.
Heavy Sentences Given Three Vio
lators of the Postal Laws.
Washington, Aug. 20.—The postoffice
department is advised from Farmville, Va.,
that Thomas Eon, alias Dennis Grummel,
and James Haley had been sent up for ten
years eaoh upon a plea of guilty, and that
George Clarke was sent up for fifteen yearß
after having entered a plea of not
guilty'. Their crime was robbing the
postoffice at Farmvillo, and their convic
tion and senteuoe is a source of much grati
fleatOn to the officers of the inspector’s di
vision of the postoffice depautment. They
have given the Inspectors a great deal of
trouble by reason of their numerous depre
dations upon postolliees in the smaller towns.
THEIR OTHER OPERATIONS.
These men, it is said, are members of a
gang that robbed the postoffices at Charles
town, W. Va., and Berryville, Quicks
tmrgb, Shandou and Waynesboro, Va. The
members of the gang were also connected
with the r bbery of postoffices and pri

Grottoes, Va. Their depredations have not
been oonfined to Virgiuia and West Vir
ginia, but have extended to various parts of
Pennsylvania. Seven other members are
still under arrest awaiting trial. Two of
them are In Philadelphia and the others are
in Virginia.
TBE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
They Will Not bo Announced Before
the Fall Elections.
Washington, Aug. 20.— While the ad
vanced cases involving the constitutionality
of the McKinley act, tbe Diugley worsted
resolution and the anti-lottery legislation of
the last congress will all he argued before
the supreme court in October, the decision
of the will not be announced iu any of
the cases before the November elections, so
that there is nothing in the story that the
supreme court would take any of tbesa
issues out of the fall oampaign.
Tbe Dingley resolution case is the one in
volving the right of Speaker Reed to count
a quorum, and, therefore, is apt to excite
more popular interest than either of the
others. Besides the Bering sea case, which
has now lost much of its importance, there
is the Couuselnian case, involving the
question whether railroad offinbli |or
others can be compelled to testify uuder the
interstate commerce law, which the inter
sta'e commerce commission is watching
w ith great interest, because on its decisions
turns the effectiveness of the interstate
cemmerce law. The commission is encour
uge 1 by tbe favorable decision of the circuit
court.

circular recently issued hv Gen. Mahoue
fell into the hands of a newspaper man

ARTIFICIAL FI3HE3.
Curious Realistic Work of the United
States Fish Commission.
From the New York Sun.
Washington, Aug. 15.—A very wonder
ful collection of animals that live in tbe
water is at present being manufactured by
the United States fish commission for exhi
bition at the world’s fair in Chicago.
Somewhat less than 509 specimens will illus
trate the food and otner economic fishes and
reptiles of this country, each one represent
ing a species. Two experts, said to be the
most skillful men living in this line of work,
are engaged in turning out counterfeit rep
resentations of things scaly and finny in
the utmost imaginable variety. The
extraordinary thing about those
produces is that they not only look but feel
like the real creatures which they imitate,
tbe very substance being to the touch 60 like
flesh itself that it is difficult for any one
who handles the objects and examines them
closely to re ilize that he is not dealing with
the animals themselves. Ho amazingly well
are they painted that their hues are the
very tints of nature. For example, you can
take a frog in your hand, pinch him and
admire the beauty of his coloring, without
being able to distinguish him from an
actual batraohiau just killed.
The secret of this art, which is quite a
new one, lies mainly in tbe composition em
ployed as a material. Its basis is glue. The
operator first takes the fish to be imitated
aud makes a plaster mould from it in the
ordinary fashion. Then he places a wooden
core inside the mould —a flat piece of plank
of the same general shape serves usually for
tbe purpose, the object bemg to give stiff
ness to the finished result —aud pours into
the mould the melted composition. Eight
or ten hours later the mould is opened, and
a perfect counterpart of tbe fish, as to shape,
is taken out. So admirably are all tbe de
tails reproduced that eacu scale is distinct.
After the counterfeit has been hung up to
dry for a few days it is paiutel with oil
colors in a manner as near to nature as pos
sible, a fresh specimen not long out of water
being used fra copy. This done, the thing
is finished. In the process of moulding
stiffening is given to the fins and tail with
ordinary wire mosquito netting.
The fishes required for moulding and
copying with colors are being sent to H’ash
mgton as fast as required from the various
stations of the fish commission all over the
country. Most of them at present are being
obtained from Wood’s Holi. It may be that
the experts wiil ba obliged to go themselves
to Galveston. Sau Francisco, and elsewhere.
In order to secure fresh specimens from the
Gulf, Pacific and lake waters. T hose for
warded hither are wrapped in cloths as
quickly as possible after being captured
aud packed iu ice for shipment. Some su
oerb bullfrogs have just arrival from
Southwes" Missouri. They are two feet in
length. Turtles of every edible variety
will also he shown in the collection, in
cluding the various terrapins, the snapper,
the gieen turtle and others. Iu making
models of them the shells and beaks of the
animals themselves are utilized. About a
dozen kinds of snakes which are destructive
to fishes will be represented incidentally.
Lobsters, ornbs and other Crustacea will
likewise be shown. Some giant crayfishes
nearly a foot long have come in with the
big frogs from the Ozark region. There is
no reason why they should not be intro
duced very profitably ia tbe fresh waters all
over tbe United States, and it is not un
likely that tbe fi>h commission will take
steps to accomplish this end. The crayfish
closely resembles the lobster in appearance,
its meat being much more delicate in flavor,
aud it would bo very nice indeed if
the streams and ponds in every state
of the union could be stocked with this
huge species, which is very prolific, a id can
be made at home anywhore. An interest
ing burrowing variety of a small sort is
very plentiful on the Potomac meadows
near Washington. It lives in holes, with
bottle-shaped enlargem-nts at the bottom,
where tbe animal can usually be found by
digging. In tbe spring each one builds over
its burrow a sort of chimney six or eight
inches high, composed of lumps of mud,
which it fe cfces and piles ingeniously on top
of one another in tbe shaoe of a dome,
closed at the top.
CRAMP S MEN ON STRIKE.
Five Hundred Employee Quit Work
on the Government Contracts.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 20.—1 t was
learned to-day that a strike, embracing
about 500 men and boys, oc
curred yesterday at Cramp’s ship
yard here just at the time work at
tbe yards is especially active, as the new
vi-ssels for the navy are being pushed to com
pletion in order to give room on the stocks
for the latest contracts secured by the firm
from the government.
CAUSE OF THE STRIKE.
On Monday last tbe heater boys and rivet
carriers, to the number of 250, made a de
mand for an advance of wages, and, when
it was refused them, struck work. The
heater boys had been making $1 a da\\ and
they demanded an advance of 50 cents. The
rivet carriers had been making $4 and they
sought an advance to $5.
Yesterday tbe riveters and holders-up
also demanded an advance, and upon it be
ing refused them they too struck, making
in all about 500 men and boys out.
NOT OFFICIALLY ORDERED.
The strike was not ordered by any labor
organizations, but as nearly all the riveters,
corkers, etc., in tbe various cities belong to
the union they will be notified by the strik
ers not to work for tbe Cramps, and in this
manner they hope to gain their point.
All the men say they do not expect to be
out more than a week or two at the most,
as they are satisfied that their employers
cannot secure men to take their places, aud
owing to the nature of the contracts the
work must be continued.

MEDICAL.
Don’t
Keep on taking pills, powders or potions
to act on the bowe s every dav, bat take
Simmons Liver Regulator occasionally.
It 'ones up the system, makes continual
dosing unnecessary and assists nature to
act herself. L 31. Hinton. 31. D., Wash
ington, Ark., says: "No other remedy
within ray knowledge can fill its place.
I have been practicing medicine for
twenty years, and have never been able
to put up a vegetable compound that
would, like Simmons Liver Regulator,
promptly and effectively move the Liver
to action, and at the same time aid (in
stead of weakening) the digestive pow
ers.” W, J. Hasnaford, Magnolia,
N. C., writes: "We can speak cheerfully
of the merits of the Regulator, but are
not compelled to take it regularly, as
our liver is all right now. Many of our
friends also use and all speak in the
highest terms of tne efficacy of Sim
mons Liver Regulator.”
