Fasting for Nincty.one Days.

Bombay Gazette.
A religious mendicant Of the Jain caste
has Just completed q ninety-one days fast
mt Pahlanpur. An eyewitness describes In
Surat paper the appearance of the man on
the last dav of penancc. The saint" says
the writer underwent u fast of eighty-six
days last year, and has been more or less &c.
customed to this form of inniction. When
seen on the ninety-frst day of the recent
fast his veins were much swollen, and he
seemed to speak only with great effort. He
was seated on blanket in corner, and
had near him tho sour water of curdled
milk, which he sometimes drank.
He seemed, however, to be capable OF
physical exertion, and up to the last day
procured the curdled milk water for him
self He was all along engrossed in prayer,
and held no communication with Other
men, except on religious topics. The man
has spent his life in strict ascoticism, and
has denied himself all food and luxury save
what may be got from the milk water
bread and yellow rice. His bedding con
sists of an ordinary blanket and nothing
more. Many jams undergo pcnances In
the shape of fasts and other self-inflictions
but 1t is said that this mans efforts in thi'
direction are unapproached by even the
most devoted co.religionists, and he ha'
drawn himselfa large following Of Shra
walks. He accepts however, no presents
and no fees

Mr.. BannOn Released.

On Saturday, after full hearing on a
writ of habeas corpus, Judge Hammond
ordered the discharge of Mr.. Michael Ban.
non, late Senator from Anne Arundel
County, who had been held to bail to an
swer the charge of completely in the killing
of DR.. r. Clay Maddux, at tho polls at Oden
ton, on the day of tho State election. The
evidence presented no single circumstance
tending to inculpate Mr.. Bannon except
the single fact that he held a whispered
conversation with Mr.. Wheeler, who is ac
cused of having fired the fatal shot shortly
before the killing. There is nothing to
show what was the subject or purport oil
that conversation, and to infer that be
cause a candidate was seen talking conf
dentially at the polls to one of his mos
active partisans, that he was instigating OF
counseling tho latter to commit murder
would certainly be most extraordinary
and unheard- of assumption.
