The F.rst Bona Fide Seizure

| THE FISHERMAN DAVID J. ADAMS CAP- TURED AT DIGBY.

HOW SHE WAS SURPRISED BY THE STEAMER LANSDOWNE, WHILE QUIET- LY GETTING A SUPPLY OF BAIT IN THE ANNAPOLIS BASIN. FURTHER PARTICULARS.

(Special despatch to the Halifax Herald.)

Dicsr, May 7,—Quite a sensation

an American fishing schooner, that was defiantly violating the treaty by the opeu purchase of bait. Two fishermen came through the Gut yesterday, anchored in the basin, aud proceeded to obtain sup- plies of bait, ete. Collector Viets watched their operation, and quietly sent a message to Captain Scott, at St. John. The Lansdowne got up steam, and five hours later was patrolling off Digby Gut, put to sea, But the other remained in thus hiding her name. Early in the morn- lug, the Lansdowne , steamed into the basiv, and the second officer was sent on board, to request the captain to re- move the canvas from the stern of his ship and to get outside the three mile limit with all possible despatch. The! vessel was found to be the David J.| Adams, of Gloucester, Mass., Capt. | Allen Kinney. The Captain having, obtained his supplies, was most willing. to comply with Captain Scott’s request, | and hoisted sail. But a dead calm pre-' vailed, and the schooner made slow head- | way. Meanwhile proof of the vessel having purchased bait, was furnished to) Captain Dakin, of the Lansdowne, and he immediately started in pursuit, over-|

took the schooner and _ ordered her to returp. Both captor and captured returned to Digby together, |

where a formal investigation was held on the schoouer, the violation of the treaty proven, a crew from the Lansdowne put on the schooner, and she was sent to! St. John. Consul General Phelan, of Halifax, has telegraphed here for full particulars. The seizure of the vessel for such an open and figrant violation of the law right within sight of the customs officials, is generally approved of, although, of course, it has occasioned quite an excitement. The Americans kuew that the Lansdowae was at St. John, sixty miles across the bay, and! therefore imagined that they should | violate the treaty with impunity. Her sudden appearance with the gray dawn of the morning was a great surprise to the trespassers.

The Halifax Refinery.

if HAS BEEN PURCHASED FROM THE BANK BY

THE NEW COMPANY FoR $25,000, axD WILL

BE RE-STARTED IN A FEW DAYS,

The Halifax Herald announces with pleasure that 2 new company of local capitalists have made arrangements to purchase the Nova Scotia sugar refinery from the Merchants’ Bank, that the requisite stock has nearly all been sub- scribed, and that there is every pro- bability of the refinery being again in full operation within # few weeks, After the old company wound up, it will be remembered that on the 19th ult., W. J. Stairs, A. G. Jones and J. S. Maclean were appointed a committee on behalf of a new company to ascertain the best terms that could be made with the Merchants’ Bank... They have worked most assidiously ever since, made most favorable arrangements, and presented their report to a meeting of those inter- ested yesterday. It is understood that the main points of the arrangements

are these: The Merchants’ Bank disposes of the building, plant, fran- chises and materials on hand, for

the sum of $250,000—$50,000 cash and the remaining $200,000 to remain at interest for five years, at 4 per cent. As the materials on hand are valued at $38,000, the new company practically obtain this magnificent establishment, costing $475,000,for the exceedingly low price of 212,000, with the most easy terms of payment. The new company propose to raise a capital of $150,000 which, after paying the bank the $50,000 will leave them $100,000 on hand for working capital, addded to which is the value, $38,000 of the necessary manu- facturing materials. Of the whole amount required, $110,000 was _ sub- scribed at Friday’s meetiog—the sub- scribers nearly all being stockholders in the old company. This leaves only $40,000 to be suhscribed. The act in- corpora'ing the new company has passed the legislature, the incorporators beiug W. J. Stairs, A. G. Jones, John 8S. Maclean, James Butler, E. P. Archibald, Fred Curry, J. R. Lithgow, Duncan Waddell and Peter Ross. It is under. stood that both English and American capitalists were anxious to secure the Nova Scotia refinery, but the Merchants’ bank very wisely gave our local capital- ists the preference. et ——e

A BRAVE MAN HUGS A DYNAMITE CARTRIDGE AND SAVES HIS LIFE,

An Orleans, N. Y., despatch says that Dell Bankson, an oil well shooter, went to the new Kane oil field on Saturday to tor- pedo the Craig & Cappean well, which had just reached the sand. He had lowered a ‘shell containing 20 quarts of nitro-glycerine wo the depth of 100 feet in the well, when

he discovered that the well was about to |make a bow. He knew that the force of |the oil would carry the torpedo out at the

; }

'

prevailed here to-day over the seizure of top, and if it were thrown upward with the

flow it would be exploded in contact with ‘a derrick beam. If it escaped from the ‘volume of oil it would fall back to the \ground and explode. In either case Bank- ‘son knew that certain destruction awaited him, and the property of his employers, ‘unless the torpedo could be secured. With ‘remarkable presence of mind he placed himself at the mouth of the well, and as ‘the shell shot up on the stream of oil he lthrew his arm about it and held it. ‘Even then undue haste and lack of judg- ment might have proved f:tal, but Bank ‘son held the torpedo until the spurt of oil had ceased before he rewoved it from the well, although he knew that only a few seconds would elapse before the vi! would be followed by a volume of gas

‘and a mass of rocks from the depths. ‘The instant the oil ceased he lifted the

shell from the well and walked carefully and steadily away, carrying the torpedo in his arms. He had scarcely turned his back when the gas and rocks came out of the well with a roar and a rush. When all was over Bankson replaced the tor- pedo, in the well, lowered it to the bot- tom, and finished his work. When the owners of the well heard of the wonder- ful nerve and judgment displayed by Bankson they at once presented him with a check for $100. Bankson’s conduct in his perilous situation is said by old well shooters to be the most courageous in the history of nitro-glycerine operations in the oil regions—work that necessitates the exercise of constant vigilance, cool judgment, and steady nerves on the part of the operators. ee

A very remarkable story about the Abbe Liszt has just been revived by his presence in London. It narrates that a young and ambitious pianist, Mlle X——, when about to give a concert in Vienna, some twenty years ago, audaciously aunouvced herself on her affiches, as a pupil of the Abbe. She was not such; had never seen Liszt, in fact. Just beiore the day of the concert among the names of the arrivals at a certain notel in the city, she was terrified to read that of ‘the Abbe Liszt.” What was she to do? To confess her fraud openly at the outset of her musical career wou'd be to crush it at once. A straightforward plan suggested itself. She went to the hotel, asked to vee the Abbe, and threw herself on his mercy. Liszt asked her a few questions, and then requested her to play one of the pieces she intended to perform at the concert. While she did so he stood over her, suggesting a pause here, or correcting a forte there. At the conclusion of the piece Liszt said, “Now, Mademoiselle, you can truthfully say that you area pupil of Liszt; for you have had your first lesson. You may also put on your programmes that you will be assisted by your master, who will play two pieces at your concert.” Liszt kept his promise, the concert was a superb success, and Mile X ——’s, reputation was at once saved and made, She died a few years ago. —

The Jndependent says: This year promises tobe a bad year for Rum. It is true Richmond and Lynchburg, in Virginia, have been lost, but Rhode Island has been won, several counties in Georgia have been carried, and victories are being anuounced nearly every day. The central district ot Aceomack Coun- ty, Va, has been carried by an over- whelming majority against the saloon, the colored men voting generally on the right side. Garrett County, Md., bas been added to the thirteen local opton counties in that state. Several districts were already under prohibition, but the legislature, at the dictation of the Rum party, annulled the results and ordered an election for the whole county to be held in April. The notice was so short that it was thought the whisky men would win; but to their disgust they have been defeated. Let the good work go Ou.
