Cleveland, 0„ 'July 8. --Por the past de- cade there has been a gradual falling off in tee quantity of fish caught in the great lakee. This year, however, the nets of the fishing companies all along the chain of lakes have almost invariably been over running with fish ween lifted. The present season, promises one of the largest catches of fish recorded in many years. The usual -output of the lakes for sev- eral yearn past has -been close to 150,000,- 000 pounds annually, of which Lake Erie produced over half. During the spring 00 per cent. of the retch is blue pike, while perch, herring and white fish make up the remainder. In the summer season eighty per cent, of the catch is herring with blue pike, perch and white fish composing the remaining twenty per cent. The success of the fishermen, who fish every day during the season, contradicts the supposition that the lake's supply of fish is giving out. The increase in the cateh this year is doubtless due to the protection to fish given by the various state laws prohibiting fishing during the winter season and to the law .regulating flue size of the mesh of the nets. The Government spends thousands of d,ollare each year in propagating fish in the great lakes which inmply about half of the fish consumed in the United States, Although the supply was greater Vila spring yet the price practically was un- changed owing, the dealers say, to the high price of meat, which caused a grea- ter demand for fish. RUNNER'S MISTAKE, THREE MINERS GROUND TO DEATH UNDER COAL CAR. The Accident Took Place in the Nova Scotia Coal Company's Sydney Mines -Arthur Pearo Admits Re- sponsibility -Released Car Before Turning the Switch. Halifax, N. S., July 7.--A shocking ac- cident by which three miners were in- stantly killed at No. 4 colliery of the Nova Scotia. Steel Company's Sydney mines is one of the worst which ever occurred in that district of the Cape Breton coal fields. The dead are: John W. Nieholson, aged 22, leaving a wife and four children; Dennis Pendergreet, single, aged 35 years, and Richard_ Broderick, 27 years, who leaves a wife and two small children. The three men were working in the deep, when, without a moment's warn- ing, a loaded. box came crashing down the bank and. into the pit, giving the unsuspecting men not tile slightest ehauce to get out of the way. This afternoon the Coroner visited the scene, where it was ascertained the accident was largely due to the careless- ness of a chain runner, Arthur Petro, who, before shifting the switch to di- vert the car to the bank, detached flue car from the haulage rope and allowed it to return at terrific speed down in- to the pit, where, the men were at work, it distance of four hundred feet. When Pearo noticed his terrible mis- take end saw the car pees from him and shoot into the mine lie ran after it and shouted. at the top of his voice to the men below, but they could. not hear. When the victims were discover- ed they were buried under a ton of eoal which had been the contents of the box, and whieh had, been tiu•own out by the force of the impact.
