sANcT1F1ED BAND ATTACKED.

ragged North CarOllnians.
Suffolk, Va, Aug. 24.-One OF the
most violent demonstrations of an enraged
people seen in Eastern North Carolina within
generation occurred Saturday morn.
ing, from 2 to O'Clock, on the Chowan
river, near Montrose, forty miles from this
city.
Ii was an attack by mob of about ] 90
armed people upon a crowd of fanatics
styled The sanctified Band" located
in houseboats, called arks, about fifty yards
from the shore. One woman was killed,
wounded.
The so-called "Sanctified Band' has
been located at Montrose for several weeks,
and members had been conducting meetings
in the surrounding country. The result
was that hundreds of men and women were
renouncing their allegiance to other churches
and accepting the doctrine of the sanctified
people.
1t is claimed that the influences of the
band were detrimental to morals. Hus-
bands and wives wereseparated. The charm
exerted by the herctics and some of their
followers became so attractive that parents
feared for their sons and daughters. These
are some of the causes which aroused a
feeling that eliminated In an attempt TO
Danish the band from the county.
The attack was made at midnight The
''sanctifieG' people, who are said to num-
Der 03, had been warned by local converts,
and had moved their four arks In which
they lived off into the stream that they
might be less exposed to intrusion.
The crowd Of enraged citizens came with
rush, and when their leader called for
halt at the river bank there was an
ominous rafting of guns and knives. AS
volley after voiley was poured into the
river craft the bullets could be heard crash
| ing into the arks' sides. The occupants dis
| appeared from view. andit is supposed that
they got below the water line, or more
would have been killed.

just previous to election.

GARDEN ISLE NOTES.
Social Entertainments for the
Week.

KEALIA (Kauai), April 11.-ThUrs-
day evening, April ID, in response to
invitations issued by Mrs. H. G. Bos-
we'll and William Rice, Jr, of Lihue,
a large number of friends gathered at
Senator Rice's beautiful beach house,
"Kalapaki," in honor of Mrs. Rosalie
Weir and her charming daughter, Miss
Mae, the occasion being the eve of their
departure for Honolulu. "Kalapaki,'
under the skillful manipulation of Mrs.
H. D. Wishard, who had charge of the
floral decorations, was transferred into
a fairy bower for the occasion. Dancing
and other amusements, with leap year
privileges, were INDUCED in until late
hour. Refreshments were served.
An educated Japanese and his wife,
the former in the employ of c. H. Bis
hop of Lihue, the latter a lady of con-
siderable refinement and culture, were
out driving Sunday evening, when they
met with an accident which may result
in the death of the little lady. 1t ap-
pears that the German boys, who are
in the habit of racing their horses at a
furious rate upon the public highways
hereabouts. in defiance of repeated eau
lions from the police and others, came
dashing along behind the Japanese and
his wife, and Notwithstanding the latter
carried light, plainly visible, the boys
paid no attention and rushed upon
them. The center horse reared and
plunged, planting his fore-feet fairly in
the small of the back of the Japanese
lady, and then fell upon her, crushing
Nher, her husband and the brake. The
light was extinguished, and there in the
darkness and the night this unfortunate
cosple were left upon the Government
road, unconscious and alone, until dis
covered by some passers by, who car
ried them into Dr. Walters, near whose
residence the accident occurred. The
young man, Oshida, is not seriously
hurt, but the wife is, and at last ac-
counts it was thought not advisable to
remove her from the doctors premises.
The German lads have been arrested.
One of them admitted his connection
with the affair and offered to pay his
share of the damage caused. The other
two denied any knowledge of it, and are
held under $500 bonds for trial. One
OF them gave the required bail; the
other languishes in Jail.
The warehouses all along the line are
troubled with congestion. Your CORE
spondent has heard some ugly MUIR
murs recently from prominent sugar
men, to the effect that unless the
steamer people arrange to give this
island better service they may wake
up some fine morning and discover that
others have entered upon the carrying
trade.
The Makee Sugar Company's mill at
Kealia shut down last Saturday. Chief
cassie expects to start up next Monday.
A new six-roller mill has been order
ed for Hanamaulu, which will be put in
with other improvements in the near
future, and quite large acreage of new
land will be broken and planted to cane
by this company this year. All of which
goes to prove that sugar is still king
of Kauai.

party of young folks at the residence
of Mrs. D. c. Lindsey of Paia. 1t was
AN evening among the worlds celebri-
ties" The game was of the progressive
kind, and six quartettes OF players at
as many different tables made guesses
as TO the identity of various portraits
as they were successfully presented to
view. Miss Blowers and Mr.. W. Nichol
won first prizes. After refreshments,
solos and college songs gave pleasing
finale to some pleasant hours. Among
those present were Mrs. Damon of Ho-
nolulu and Misses Rea and Blowers OF
California.

ring Wednesday, the Sth, the case came
before the Waikiki Court and was con-
tinued until the 23d of May.

The Dead Duck Was Guilty, and Eugen.s

The Dead Duck Waa Guilty, and Eugen.s
Field Proved 1t.
A few years ago the late Eugene Field
and Stanley Waterloo went duck hunting
On Murdoch lake, near St. Louis. Ducks
were rather scarce and very shy, and the
two hunters spent the day without over
burdening their game bags. At length
they decided to separate, in the hope that
each might drive the ducks within range
of the other. Waterloo padded up the lake
and Field down.
Late In the afternoon Waterloo banged
away at a flock Of rnallards and brought
one down. The wounded duck, however,
was not seriously disabled, and before it
eould be bagged rose and went wabblinR
down the lake toward Field and dropped
within easy range OF the poets gun among
a number of tame ducks which belonged to
a neighboring farmhouse.
Field rested his gun across the bow of
his boat and let both barrels go. The
mallard went flying away. The tame ducks

the duck.

The farmer was dazed into silence.

in such a storm, for the air is SO filed
with the ice particles that it is practi-
cally as Opaque as a snow bank But
many persons refuse TO realize this and
60 on plunging blindly through the
snow, trying to make out their path by
peering through half closed eyelids un-
til they are exhausted and fall down to
perish miserably.
These are some Of the ways in which
a blizzard acts and affects man, but
there are many variations. To have a
blizzard, however, real Dakota bred
blzzard-the wind must blow at the
rate of more than 80 miles an hour, the
thermometer must be way below zero,
and there must either be lot of light
snow on the ground or snow must be
falling at the time.
It Ia an unsettled point as to whether
the tiny spears Of ice which make the
breath Of a blizzard a death dealing
blast are formations peculiar to this
special phenomenon Of nature or whether
the wind and intense cold transform the
ordinary gnOwdakes into this shape.
While the blizzard is raging it is Inn
possible for one caught in the heart Of it
to tell whether snow is falling or not,
but some time during the course Of the
storm an immense lot Of snow does fall
or is brought from somewhere
The intensity of the cold can hardly
be believed, for it often happens THAT
the government thermometers at the
signal stations show the mercury all in
the bulb. which means that it is some
thing more than 40 degrees below. A
lower temperature than that the govern
ment refuses to recognize.
The duration Of a blizzard varies.
Sometimes it lasts for only SO or 48
hours, but occasionally the snow laden
wind bowls without cessation for days
and days at time. Nine day billiards
are on record, and probably there have
been those which have ragged for longer
periods.
And when it is all over, when the tail
Of the blizzard has gone swishing across
the Mississippi, the morning dawns clear
and cold and bright, revealing the prai-
RE covered with a thick blanket of dry,
hard packed snow, with here and there
a nicely rounded mound to show where
stood a bush or perchance where fell
some luckIess wanderer caught by the
fury Of the storm almost within reach
of shelter and safety.
