A Brave Act.

Jefferson jump" On Saturday night
just after the north bound train on the
international road passed Jacksonville
in Cherokee county, four masked men
entered the Office of the station agent.
Mr.. Hawkins, and demanded of him
his money. Mr. Hawkins, instead OF
complying with their demand, drew his
revolver and shot one of the robbers,
instantly killing him. The others at
once fed. The robber who was killed
was not recognized, and was a stranger
in the neighbGhood. The brave act OF
Mr.. Hawkins saved considerable
amount of money, and we have no
doubt the company viii appreciate such
acts of fidelity To their interests.

lsr, at u South Fifth street, was the
hero of the st. Louis fire. He was
among the FIST at the scene of horror,
and calamity rushed TO the rescue of
the helpless women and children inn
prisoned by the flames. He rescued
several from the fiery death, and rushed
again and again into danger in quest OF
others. While in the third story of the
building, the ladder upon which he de-
pended for escape was removed to an.
other window. Forced by the flames.
he crept out upon the sill and leaped
for the ladder-missed it, and fell-to
death.

DEFECTIVE CERTIFICATES OF MARRIED
WOMEN.

We learn from George W. Chiffon.
an attorney at law practicing at Tyler,
that the supreme court at its last ses-
sion held at that place, in the case Of
Belcher VS.. Weaver, on appeal from the
district court of Smith county, held
that the officers certificate of q married
woman's privy examination and .ac-
knowledgmeat of the eutian of a
deed was sufficient. however unofficially
drawn, if it was in substantial compli-
ance with the statute, aud il could be
Reasonably inferred from its language
that she executed the same without re-
straint or undue influence.
The certificate under review was that
she signed the deed shown her, and
that she did SO without " fear force or
bride from her husband, and that she
did net wish to " CONTRACT the same.
