PARIS, Tex, Sept 23.-A clew to the
mystery of the reported capture of the
Dalton gang Of train robbers has been
discovered which almost convinces the
authorities here that Deputy Marshal
Williams has fallen victim to the
thieves. From description of the man
who sent the dispatch, signing Williams
name, he is believed to be Sam Wing,
the real leader of the gang. The mes
sage was probably blind to confuse
other pursuers.

He Backs Grocery Wagon Over An EN-
bankment, But Escapes Injury.
A wholesale delivery wagon belong
ing to the Roanoke Grocery and Milling
Company and drawn by an ill-natured
mule, backed over an embankment
fifteen feet high in front of the freight
depot yesterday evening.
A negro named Hunter was tho driver.
Suddenly on the hillside the mule re-
fused to bulge. He was damned with
the whip, and then he came back with
rush. The driver saved himself by
jumping, but the wagon, mule and groc-
cries all went down together, with the
mule on top, as usual. Every one who
gathered around thought the animal
was dead, but cutting away few straps
he bounced up, none the worse,
physically. for his fall. The wagon was
badly wrecked, but the damage to the
groceries will not exceed $40.

like n parrots, only much larger and
more powerful When once those jaws
fasten on the bait they never let go

No; they seldom give us much

taught the mon how to handle them
safely. The only care necessary tx to
prevent their fastening their suckers

If, by accident OF carelessncss, they

is safe, for the suction of those cuplile
disks is SO great that nothing but tho
knife can dislodgc them, and, as they
can't be reached, they get away.
The men know by the weight on the

hooked. Then, by means of poles,
the line is kept away from the boat,
and, watching a favorable opportunity,
with the assistance of boat hooks the

WHO WILL BE JUDGE
1.-THE Circuit Court Bill Passes
the Senate ?

j. A. Dupuy returned yesterday
morning from Richmond, whittier he

MIR. Dupuy is very confident that the
bill will pass the senate. and says tho
only matter which will now agitate the
interested parties and the legislature is

The entire Roanoke bar is enthusiast

great amount Of business which has
borne down so heavily on the Hastings
Court will be relieved, to the satisfac
ton Of everyone interested.
Col. Penn, who went to Richmond

three senators who opposed the bill.

Tho bill, which provides for the
formation Of tho circuit, also designa ties
TIE sittings of the court. The begin
ming of the terms in this city will be
January Is, April Is, July Is and October
10. This will not conflict with the Hus-
tings Court, as with the relief afforded
by the circuit court, it will hardly be
necessary for the former to sit as much
as two weeks on the beginning of the
terms which fall with these months.
This arrangement will give the circuit
court two weeks of each of the months
named aud the Hastings Court the same.
The bill provides that the place OF
sitting shall be in the courthouse of the
city of Roanoke and the courthouse of
Bedford county.
There, are number of prominent
lawyers spoken OF as candidates for the
Judgeship, but from the opinion Of the
majority of the members Of the Roanoke
bar, the matter has resolved itself into
contest between Roanoke CITY and
Bedford county, and this contest will
be fought out in the legislature.

prominent figure for Roanoke. and
Martin Burks for Bedford.

no effort to place himself before the

Judge Robertson, when asked yester.
day if he would elbow his name to be
used in connection with the circuit
court judgeship, said that he would
like very much to be Judge of circuit
court, as it would relieve him of the
disagreeable duty of hearing criminal
cases, but there was question of salary
which he was bound to consider. He
further added that he did not care,
holding the position that he did, to be-
come candidate or to enter u contest
for the position.

one of the officers.
Two sailors came aft, cast off the en-.

The moment he sounded the first
note, the officers rose from their chairs,
faced the colors, took off their caps,
and stood silent, in respectful attitudes.
while the two seamen slowly hauled
down the colors, bringing them in over
the rail as the call came to an end.
When the colors reached the deck and
were gathered in by the seamen, and
the last note of the bugle died away.
the officers put on their caps, resumed
their seats, and went on with their con-

Removing the cap in honor of the

do when you go on board is to turn
toward the stern of the ship, where the
ensign always flies at the taffrail staff,

deck sees you, he will return the salute;
but whether anyone is on the quarter
deck or not, always raise your hat when
you go aboard. The salute is to the
Gag, not to any person, and surely
