She Was Not Sued for Larceny, as Has
Been Alleged, Yesterday.
The item printed yesterday in relation to
the case of Mrs. Libbie Levy, Sarah Gold
man, Jennie Novinsky and Mr.. Levy, who
spent a good part of the day suing each
other for larceny and assault and battery,
made Mrs. Goldman a defendant in one of
the cases.
The only connection Mrs. Goldman had
with the matter was that she had the mis-.
fortune of being at her sisters place on
Logan street at the time when the trouble
originated.
She sued Levy for assault and battery,
but the statement that she was sued for
larceny and assault and battery was incor-
rect, the suits being against Mrs. Novinsky
alone.

A Fiffy-Foot Serpent, Which Swallowed n
Canoe, Surprises Traveller.
They were discussing snake stories in the
postoffice the other evening, says the New
berry, Mich, Independent, and, when every
one had told his best, Doc Ingalls, pulled
down the slides and then let off the follow
ing true story:
when was in Tennessee last winter 1
went hunting in the mountains, where 1 got
lost, travelled around all day until, tired
out, 1 sat down on a log to rest. After
sitting there a while I thought the log
moved, and jumped up and examined. 1
found, to my unspeakable amazement, that
it was large snake. 1 ran about so yards
and fred at it, but the ball glanced off
without hurting the snake. The monstrous
reptile raised its head up about 80 feet, but
soon had another load in my gun, and
this time aimed at the smooth place around
the neck, where there seemed to be no
scales. This made the snake awfully sick,
and it spewed up canoe and nine
Indians"

An Old Indian Workshop.

The geological survey, through Profess
sor w. II. Holmes, has recently made
some most important discoveries of In
dian relics just west of Washington, on
what is known as Piney Branch hill. The
find appears to be the remains of an
Indian workshop for the manufacture of
implements, weapons, etc. The spot has
been excavated and implements have
been found clear to the bed rock. The
discovery is considered to be of the great
est importance by archeologists 1t car
Aries our knowledge of the ancient inhab-
$itants of this locality much further back
than any previous discoveries.
These Clipped stone implements found,
it is said, go back to the paleolithic age
and show the country to have been in
habited at much earlier period than
has been generally supposed. 1mple,
ments of this class have never before
been found except upon the surface, and
it has always been question among
scientists as to what they referred. These
instruments discovered by the survey
bear marked resemblance to instru

A Historic Mark.

An order has been passed by the trus-
tees of this city which, if carried into eff
feet, as we believe it will be, will work
the demolition of all that remains of the
buildings that once stood within the pail
sades of Suffers fort. The order directs
that the streets be opened through the
property. Not only will the last remain
ing relic of the historic spot be thus oblit-
Grated, since street line cuts through it,
but the plat will be divided into small
parcels andits identity lost to history and
to human interest. The owner of the
property is nonresident of the city; he
derives no rental from it, unless meager
pasturage pays him small sum, and he
will not sell to those who wish to restore
the fort and convert the plat into a park.
If all appeals to the owner fail, if he re,
mains deaf to the hundreds of requests
that have been made, and still refuses
to name his price, we propose when the
streets are cut through, that at the inter
section of the highways there shall be
planted a simple enduring stone to mark
the spot where John A. Sutter raised the
American flag and gave shelter to the
early pioneers of California. And thai
on the stone there be inscribed the fac
that a certain citizen of Chicago-naminG
him-stubbornly refused to sell the his
torie spot to the people for reserve a
any price.-Sacramento Record Union.
