Another remarkable escap. is that of the
mill boy and the mule. In order to span
by easy grade deep ravines the roads to
grist-mils In this hilly country often pass

Anderson Berkley. worthy colored man
who had dispatched one Of hts sons for
a sack of the cereal for corn-cake. Know
ing tho native shyness OF his auadruped
he required the boys sister TO accompany
him, with instructions TO lead the animal
over the dam. while the boy was to keep
his seat astride the Dag OF corn.
PERILOUS PREDICAMENT.
The precautions, however. did not meet
the exigencies OF the case. as the mule,
on reaching the highest part Of the dam,
became frightened at the slash OF the
waves of the pond. and began that hasty
backward movement, which sent the boy
and the bag whirling over the 40-foot
dam into the waters below. Fortunately
the girl held firmly and faithfully to the
reins. and the mule. thus supported. held
tenaciously with his forefeet to the
perilous edge Of the dam, until at the
suggestion Of thoughtful bystander,
the girl let go the bride Of the suspended
animal. who then went tail foremost
after the boy and the bag. Fortunately.
the firm grip OF the girl had so delayed
the fall OF the mule, that her brother,
who went down on the bag. had time TO
get from under his dangling steed. and
thus escaped being mashed into pulp. As
this fan was over 4O-foot dam, which
Is skrted below by immense stones. the
rescue Of boy and mule without scratch
is regarded as almost miraculous.

She learned from him at the same time
that he was member OF the House OF

to her former position, and to call upon
her that same evening to relate the re-

After some further conversation he
arose TO leave. and offered his card. upon

THE AMERICAN PORT

NEWPORT NEWS, June 4, 1894
Newport News is attracting more Sc

ever before. The reason for this Is OBJ
vious IL Is more the text for economic
writer's than ever before, and Is entering

IL is interesting 10 note a natural and
logical transition of terms that has
taken place. Newport News from hav-
ing been generally spoken Of az the great
Virginia port is now becoming known
as the great American Atlantic port.
That is exactly what IL is. And with
the broadening OF characterization by the
economic writers has come the broaden
ing OF interest In the place. Investors
are beginning to look at ii not merely
as the deep-water terminus OF the great
Chesapeake and Ohio system. but az the
coming great Atlantic gateway OF Amer
lean commerce. And the phrase, coming
great American Atlantic port or gate
way, is synonymous with great American
