He Saved Her Life,

Miss Susannah Warfield, by her will
filed at Westminster, lett 500 to
Mr.. Julius A. Hood, formerly Bal
timore and Ohio telegraph operator
at Sykesville, now at Mount Airy
switch. This money was left to Mr..
Hood to show her appreciation of his
bravery when he once saved her life
at Sykesville. 1t was about seven
years ago. Miss Warfield was going
to Baltimore and had to cross both
tracks to get to the platform. She
was in the middle of the east bound
track and the passenger train vas
coming along. Mr.. Hood was in his
Office a short distance away and saw
h edanger. Thetrain was then only
about1OO yards away, and she could
not hear it. Mr.. Hood ran and
caught her and carried her off the
track. The engine came so close to
her thatit touched her dress. 1t was
a very narrow escape, and Miss
Warfcld often expressed her high
appreciation of Mr.. Hoods bravery.

feet beyond them and deposited fiat

The house was not injured and not
an article in it was broken. A lamp

was not thrown down.
The next day the neighbors gather

His Heart Softened,

Thejury in McGregor murder trial

Juror Baker for four days, says an
Atlanta correspondence OF the New

was reached leaked out. Early
Thursday morning a detected set of
men gathered in the jury-room, Bak-

"Boys," said Mr.. Heath, "There is
one thing we haven't tried. We have
never prayed for Baker,"
"That will do no good. Prayers
can never touch the soul Of a man
who can take cussin' like he does.
Prayers will run off him like water
off a ducks back" was a reply.
Boys, let's all join Brother Heath
in prayer" called outthe oldest man
in the crowd, as he thought of home
and the joys awaiting him there.
Brother Heath fell on his knees in the
jury-room and prayed. He asked
that. the soul of Baker might be soft
ened and that he might show pity to
McGregor and his family. Baker was
crying when the prayer ended, and
said he vas willing to let McGregor
go.

The girl brought a plate of hot
cakes, and as he ate them had another

times, each relay being dispatched
with relish. AT the last he threw
down his knife and fork.

The Language of the Flag.

The black flag is a sign of piracy.
To "strike a flag" is to lower the
national colors in token of submis-
sion.
The yellow flag shows a vessel TO
be at quarantine, OF is the sign of q
contagious disease.
Dipping the flag is lowering it
slightly and then hosting itagainto
salute a vessel or fort.
A "fag of truce" is a white flag dis
played to an enemy to indicate a de-
sire for O parley or consultation.
A flag at half-mast can mourn
ing. Fishing or other vessels return
with q flag at half-mast to announce
the loss or death OF some of the men.
II the president Ofthe United States
goes afoat the American flag is car
ried in the bow OF his barge or hoist
ed at the main of the vessel on board
of which he is.
The red flag is a sign of defiance
and is often used by revolutists. In
our service it is a mark of danger,
and shows a vessel is receiving or
discharging her powder.
The white flag is a sign of peace.
After a battle parties from both sides
often go out to the field to rescue the
wounded and bury the dead under
the protection of a white flag.
Flags are used as the symbol of
rank and command, the officers US
ing them being called flag officers.
Such flags are square to distinguish
them from other banners.

BRUNSWICK INcREDuLoUs.
Report of Wrong Doing by Former
Pastor DIscredited.

LEWISTON, December 4-The Evening
Journal prints despatch from Brunswick
which says: The people of Brunswick were
much surprised to hear Wednesday that a
former clergymen of the town was under ar
rest for forgery at Minneapolis The gentle
man in question is Rev. VIM. p. Fisher, who
was ordained pastor Of the First CoDgrega-
tional church here in 1879, and who remained
its minister until last winter. when he re-
signed the pastorate. tie then removed to
the West, and has since made his home in
Minnesota. The story of his trouble is brief
ly as follows:
Mr.. Fishers father owned considerable
property in Dakota. and among it was
house and lot at Fargo. The death of that
gentleman two years ago left his affairs in
some disorder, and the taxes on this property
remaining unpaid, it was sold at auction.
Mr.. Fisher being informed of it, went to
rarg0 to interview the holder of the tax-title,
who. he claims, agreed to sell his claim for
$3.50. Then comes the trouble. The quit
claim was signed by the holder of the title,
but Mr.. Fishers name was not yet filled in.
The former gentleman claims that Mr..
Fisher came to his house and asked to be
allowed to take the deed, promising to re-
turn 1t. He then filled in his own name
the deed entered at the registry of deeds. He
claims that all the preliminaries were ad-
justed, and that the filling in was all right
At all events the deed was entered without
the knowledge of the signer, and Mr. Fisher
left for Minneapolis. On arriving there he
was met by two detectives and taken to the
police station and searched He escaped
from confinement by writ of habeas corpus,
and there the matter now rests.
His friends in Brunswick are confide t
that he will completely prove his innocence
of any wrong doing, and await with interest
any further DEVELOPMENTS in the matter.

UNCLE SAM AT LAW.
Some Things from the Report of the
Attorney General.

Attorney General
WASHINGTON, December 4-The annual
report of Attorney General Miller givse de-
tailed statement of the business of the Uni
ted States Supreme Court and Court
of Claims and of all the judicial proceedings
during the past fiscal year in which the Uni
ted States was party, including criminal
prosecutions in all parts Of the county. The
aggregate number of suits now pending In
the Court Of Claims is about $4,000, without
regai ding the great number of suits involv-
ing many millions of dollars in special juriS-
diction and the French spoliation claims.
War claims alone now pending are about
5000 in number. 1t is estimated upon the
basis of amounts claimed in cases tried ear
lier, the claims will aggregate at least $780,
100000. The report opposes the government
bringing suits to advance private interests.
Reference is made particularly to the suits
to reclaim lands held under patents.
Attention is called to the difficulty of enf0rc-
ing the law of the land, particularly the in
ternal revenue laws and the United States
election laws, officers being assassinated and
their assassins escaping punishment by con-
nivance of local magistrates. The report
adds: "As long as persons who kill officers.
witnesses or jurors for the pnrpose OF lm-
peding the administration OF justice can only.
be tried and punished in federal court, as
for minor offence, the administration of the
United States law and the laws themselves
in many districts will have little respect"
Cases are cited of citizens convicted of viola
tions OF the election laws where the
county court ordered all fines and costs as
sessed against them in the United States
court paid from the county treasury. The
report says: 1T has been known for years
in certain districts that very large number
of naturalization certificates were issued in
violation of law, and great many persons
voting without tight. A large number Of
suits were brought to set aside such iraudu-
lent natural zatioDs, and many final DEGREES
cancelling the same were rendered in the
United States courts. 1t is believed by these
suits much may be done to purify the ballot
box in those localities"

present to pay their respects to the honored
dead The following proclamation had been
issued by the mayor:
To the Citi Gems of RockldYld:

WANT TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Tne Sensation of the Convention of
the Farmers Alliance.

OCALA, Fla, December 4.-The sensation
of the Farmers Alliance convention was
when President Livingston of the Georgia
Alliance said that in consequence of certain
reports circulated that corrupt and improper
methods had been employed in the recent
senatorial contest in Georgia by himself
DR.. Macune and President Polk, he would
ask for the appointment of a committee to
thoroughly investigate the charges. He
made q speech nearly an hour long, in which
he denounced these rumors as infamOusy
false.
President Polk then took the floor and
said as far as he was concerned personally
he cared little for ISLANDERS of this kind, but
there we're certain reasons why the Alliance
should make thorough Investigation Uf the
subject, and he, therefore, urged the ap-
p0intment of a committee for this purpose.
Mr.. Macune followed and Joined Messrs.
Livingston and Polk in their demands for
sitting the matter to the bottom.
A committee was finally agreed upon, to
consist of one member from each state dele
CATION to the convention. This committee
will consist of 27 or 2S members. and as soon
as the delegations select their men it will
hold a meeting. An effort is being made to
have the investigation conducted in public.
1t seems evident that fight on the sub
treasury plan will arise during the session.
The opposition claim that this plan is class
legislation and violates the Alliance consti-
tuition in regard to equal rights and special
privileges.
