Our Williamsburg correspondent is
responsible for the following Dick
Humes while pursuing a flock of wild
turkeys in the mountains back of us,
singled out a certain big gohbler in the
flock at which to try and get shot.
Suddenly large eagle swooped down
and fastened it's talons in the head and
neck of the big gobbler. and after fioun-
dering around for time, arose and flew
off with the turkey with as much ease
apparently as a hawk would with a
small chicken. Mr.. Humes thinks the
eagle would have measured seven feet
at least from tip to tip of its wings"

ON Monday Of last week little Willie
Surber, aged IL, and son of Thos. M.
Surber, was accidentally killed at Cow
ington, Va. He and a little companion
were playing in the rear of McAllister
& Bells Touring mill, and the little fell
low, it is supposed, attempted to sit
astride the shaft Of the mill while re-
volving. His clothing caught and in a
moment his body was whirling around
and around with the shaft, the lower
part of his body striking against the
timbers of the fore bay at every revolu-
ton, crushing tito jelly. Death must
have been instantaneous.

Telephone Company.


The following letter explains itself:
Editor Greenbrier Independent:
/ am just having incorporated The
Pocahont as Telephone Co., to run from
Ronceyerte to Marlinton by way of
Lewisburg and intermediate points
along the Lewisburg and Marlinton
Turnpike. In as much as all of the
business, nearly, of Pocahontas goes to
Ronceverte and Lewisburg | hope that
your end of the line will be willing TO
subscribe literally to the enterprise
And the more so on account of the de-
termined effort that the G. & y. r. r.
people seem to be making to divert the
trade of the county to the Hot Springs.
With telephone line to Ronceyerte
all our goods will be shipped to Romeo
verte that are even now shipped to the
Hot. The line can be built for the
sum of 81 500. The actual cost of the
line to Staunton from Monterey, 46
miles, was 81 $50. There will be no
promoters and the money paid in will
go toward the building of the line
Stock will be sold to the amount OF
$l,75O, in shares of $500 each. 1t has
been represented that "a line from Ron
ceverte to Marlinton would cost some
SO 900. This is a mistake, or else it
was by promoters who would bag the
extra 81 500. l can find contractors
who will take the contract to put the
line in actual operation, with eight sta
tions, to use the best phones on the
market, with bells guaranteed, fol
81 800. will call OH you, or have some
one call on you soon. Work ought t,
be commenced by April LIST.
Yours very truly.

of confidence, began to address questions
to the Government. accompanying them
by speeches of most uncompromising g
nature. Their chief contention was that
whereas the war with China had been
undertaken for the explicit purpose OF
securing Korean independence. as definite
ly announced by the Mikado's rescript,
Korea did not now enjoy any semblance
of independence, her King and Crown
Prince being lodged in the Russian lega-
tion under the guard of Russian soldiers,
and her Cabinet Ministers holding their
conferences under the shadow of the Rus
sian flag.
1t was plain that ii the debate continued
and if the resolution of want of confidence
were introduced the language of the oppo-
sition politicians might very gravely COM
promise the empires foreign relations.
Accordingly, just as one OF the most de-
nunciatory orators was approaching the
peroration of his speech, an imperial re-
script was handed to the President, sus-
pending the Diets session for ten days.
By the expiration Of that period calmer
counsels will probably have prevailed,
and, at all events. full information will be

it has never been done under the five

The chairman-The chair thinks 1t Is

right of the gentleman from Ohio to yield.
Hartman concluded and soon after the
consideration OF the salary sections or the
amendment was ended. Several efforts
were made, however. to change the pro-
vision fixing the compensation OF special
field Deputy Marshals at per diem for
the time employed to salary definite IN
amount, but they were unsuccessful.
DingIey (R.) of Maine proposed an
amendment reducing the maximum COM
pensation to be allowed these field Deputy
Marshals from $500 to $500, except in
certain special cases, where it may be
$500, but shall not in any event exceed
three-fourths of the fees received. This
was agreed to after some debate over the
opposition of members of the Judiciary
Committee.
The committee, without having COM
pleted the bill, arose.

DRAINAGE OF THE VdLLEY.
Captain Gillette on Navigation Along the

Captain Gillette on Navigation Along tho
Sacramento River.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 5.-The
Secretary of War submitted to the House
in response to a resolution a letter from
Chief Engineer CraighilI transmitting the
report of Captain c. e. Gillette on the sur
vey made of the Steamboat channel, and
from the junction thereof with the Sacra-
mento River to the mouth. The river and
harbor act of 1894 provides for this pre-
liminary examination with view to the
navigable channel and to increase the
capacity for food discharge.
Captain Gillette considers that as far as
navig alton is concerned Steamboat Slough
is not worthy of improvement by the
United States. which opinion is concurred
in by the division engineer, Colonel Suter,
and by the chief of engineers.
Respecting the incapacity for Hood dis
charge, Captain Gillette gives resume of
the existing conditions and OF the com hi
cation connected with the problem which
involves the entire drainage of the Sacra-
mento River Valley, and he states that the
problem is one that concerns the United
STATES, in that solution adopted for drain
age might be injurious to navigation, or
that works for navigation might be inju-
rious to drainage, or the questions might
be solved separately at a cost greatly in
excess of the amount required.
He considers, therefore, that further ex-
aminations and surveys and accumulation
of information will be necessary, and is of
the opinion that these investigations will
cost $S00O
