white man, named w. w. Jones on
TO the grand Jury of Norfolk County
for entering the house of j. Z. Cherry
a white resident of Berkeley ave and
attempting assault upon Mrs. Cherry.
Mr.. and Mrs Cherry went to bed ear
ly, and about 8 80 O'Clock Mrs. Cherry
awoke her husband and told him that
there was a man in the room She
says, she awoke by the man putting
his hands on her and she told her hus-
band there WAS a man in the room
Rev. Ii. Moore, formerly a citizen of
Berkeley left last week for Pittsburg
Pa, where he expects to make his flu

his new field. Rev. Moore is an able
and plain gospel preacher, and the
church that secures his services will
do well.

The Dangers Of Bathing.

Percy Acres, age II years was drown
ed in the James River in the neighbor-
hood of 18th St, on Tuesday, August
18th at about $50 p. NJ.
1t seems that young Acres was at
the train when the second Baptist
Sunday School left for West Point, and
his mother went on the excursion.
After the train left he went in the
James River TO battle. and the tide be-
ing low. waded out TO big rock.
Enjoying the sport, he remained too
long, and paid no attention Go the ris-
ing tide until it was too late when he
ATTEMPTED TO return. He was swept
beyond his depth. His companion at
tempted TO save him by diving under
but he found that young Acres would
drown him, so he had to disengage
himself and turn him loose. He sank
for the last time.
Joe Edwards, the white diver recov-
cred the body. When the mother re-
turned that afternoon, the scene was
distressing.
The funeral took place last Wednes-
day afternoon. The parents reside at
No. 9Ol n. 9th ST., Mr. Jack Acres, the
father is a wen-known carpenter.

that all the gayety of the cities seem
TO be centered at our hotel. Since our

TROUT HOOKED IN QUEER PLACES.
Mr.. Kellogg's Lively Fight with q Fish
Caught by the Dcrsal Fin

Mr.. KellogR's Lively Fight with a Fish
Caught by the Dorsal Fin.
The story which e. Lincoln KELLOGG
tells IN Outing about a five pound trout
hooked foul makes trout fishermen think
of fish they have hooked in other places
than the mouth.
Mr. Kellogg went a-fishing in early
spring IN stream near the foot of the
Olympic mountain. not far from Puget
sound. The water was cold and icy. be-
ing melted snow mostly, and the fish
did not bite so freely as they would
have done had it been later, when the
sun had warmed things up. He had
fished all the morning. but without suo-
cess, although his companion had caught
10 inch fish.
I'VE tished till noon" he says, ''us-
ing big and little flies, bright and dark
ones. black, blue and brown, red, vel
low and green ones, but to no avail.
After luncheon we separated. Jack
went up stream and / down. Pretty
soon came to a favorable pool. The
river came dashing down over a long,
steep rifle into a broad, boiling pool,
with a big eddy up one side. I cast here
and there for a few moments. Then
there was heavy splash out in the
foam, and my reel began to buzz. I
scrambled to the shore and raced down
the stream, entirely unable to stop the
fish's mad rush. He came up the eddy.
then went down again three times be-
fore 1 could stop him. Then 1 got him
into my sight, and saw that l d hooked
him foul, and saw also how it was that
his rushes had been so powerful. The
hook had caught in his dorsal fin
When Mr.. Kellogg managed to work
the fish into little cove from which he
was able to throw it out, not having
any landing net or gait, he found that
it weighed five pounds
Fishermen know how fish hooked in
the side will pull, more especially in a
current They know further that no fish
makes so good fight as one hooked in
the tail flesh, where the hook will not
readily pull out. More than one trout
fisherman in the Adirondacks has struck
a fish and instantly thought it was q
monster-a four or even six FOUNDER
judging from the way it pulled, but at
last, on getting the net under the fish,
has found it to be a little fellow of a
pound or less hooked in the tail.
The place where fishermen like to
hook their trout is down in the corner
Of the mouth where the two lips meet
This is a tough place, and a hook fas-
tened there is better than one fastened
anywhere else for hold fast qualities.
Big trout are seldom or never taken
when hooked in the lip, though one
hooked in the tongue fights in an up
hill struggle. But in either Of these
places the trout does not make the fight
a tail hooked one does.

The Spread of Superstition.

Some say in Wales that if a mares
shoe is nailed to the Intel OF the door
no witch can ever enter the house, and
that if one of them happens to go into a
neighbours house a broom placed across
the threshold by member of the fam
lily will prevent her leaving. Somebody
has said that two straws laid crosswise
ON the threshold will serve the purpose
quite effectually. A neighbours wife
heard one of them mumblinR something
to herself and believed that she was say
ing the Lords Prayer backward. Some
body has also said that they can all be
sent after Pharaoh and his chariots into
the depths of the Red sea if recourse
be had to an expert, but that the latter
must be skilled in arithmetic, algebra,
Hebrew, Greek, Latin and all the origi-
nal (gwreiddiol) tongues before he can
compass this mighty feat.
The belief in these things is RAPIDLY
gaining ground nowadays. It has al

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 9.-Jules Guev-

sassinated while standing on his front
porch. A Sicilian, named Lorenzo Sa-

and other evidence caused his arrest
Friday.

preventing the people from lynching
Saladino then and there. The Sheriff
secretly conveyed the prisoner to

him in Jail This structure is a new

Negro Waterman, who has performed
the duty for several years. Two other
Italians named Decino and Angelo

A mob of about fifty persons, we'll
armed, surprised the guard about mid.

three Italians. The prisoners cried
and begged for mercy, but the crowd
took them to stable a short distance
