WILL WALK A ROPE.
Coroner Jennings, Formerly Circus

Coroner Jennings, Formerly Circus
Athlete, Will Try Again.
There is a genuine treat in store for
the little ones of Brunswick.
Few people know that genial "Hai"
Jennings, the coroner, was, away back
IN the misty days of Lis youth,
tlght-rope performer in travelling
circus. Nevertheless, such was the
case, and the coroner frequently re-
calls those days of the canvas canopy
and the sawdust ring, entertaining his
friends with anecdotes of his life at
that period
A few days ago he was in remin-
iscent mood, and, IN the course of a
conversation on The topic of his ath-
letic achievements, Mr.. Jennings as
serted that he had no doubt he could
perform equally IS we'll on high rope
now as he did In the unforgotten days
of when he wore tights and thrilled
the hearts of thousands.
One of the gentlemen present pre-
sumed to doubt the assertion. One
word brought on another, with the
ino haf
that he would prove his claims by Civ
ing performance at an early date III
this city.
Mr.. Jennings was seen by TIMES
man on the subject yesterday, and he
was evidently very much in earnest.
II intend to walk a rope stretched
across Newcastle street from the Kais-
er building to the Wright building"
he said. 81 will do this not only to
prove my recent assertion but for the
entertainment of the children of
Brunswick, whom L have always de-
| lighted to please. have tried myself
and find 1 am just as good at the busi-
ness as l ever was"
MIR. Jennings said he had not de-
clded on the q, e,
but would choose it TO suit n. Isi-
ness demands. cit will probably be
one day this week, but l will give the
press and public ample notice."
Brunswick will await the unique
spectacle with interest.

Richardson Raises a Point of
No Quorum in the
House.
DEEP WATER FOR DARIEN.
Captain Carter Recommends Extensive
Improvements for the Harbor There
at a Considerable Cost.

Washington, March 27.-The neces-
sity Of the continued presence of a
quorum Of the committee of the whole
was demonstrated at the beginning of
tOday's session. To the first paragraph
that WAS read after the house had gone
into the committee of the whole on the
tariff bill, Mr.. Richardson, of Tenn
essee, moved an amendment reducing
the duty on whiting from one cent to
half a cent. On a division the vote
was: Yeas, Ia; nays, 81, and upon the
announcement Mr.. Richardson made
point of no quorum. He said that a
measure of this Importance should not
be considered by fifty men only.
Mr.. Dalzell then innocently in
CURED: "Wbere are all the democrats
this mornin9?"
MIR. Richardson replied "Evident-
ly with the republicans. There are
propOrtionately as many present on
this side of the hall as on yours"
Chairman Sherman counted slowly.
and by means of this device In ten
minutes was enabled to announce that
101 members were present and that the
Richardson amendment had been re-
jected.
A REASONABLE RECOMMENDATION.
A report was received today from
Captain Carter, of the corps of engi-
neers on survey of the harbor at
Darien, Ca, In which he recommends
channel 800 feet wide and "a feet
deep at an estimated cost of from
$4,000 to $4,000. according to the
dredge used.

MEN PURSUED MANY MILES
Over the Wild Virginia Hills Brought to
Bay, the Moonshiners Fight
Desperately.

Round Head, Va, March 27.-Fif-
teen United States revenue officers
swooped down on nest of moonshin-
ers near here last night, and destroyed
thlrty-one stills and thousands of gal
Ions of ''mountain dew" that had never
seen a government gauger.
When the raid was made the distll-
lers were so taken by surprise and so
completely overpowered that they
took to the woods in panic. The Of
ficers gave chase and followed five of
the moonshiners for several miles
over the mountain ranges.
Finally the fugitiyes turned and
showed fight. The conflict was a des-
perate one, and when the smoke had
cleared away, it was found that three
of t he officers and four out of the five
moonshiners were on the ground. Two
of the latter were fatally wounded and
cannot long survive.

An Interesting Session of The Bali
more Conference at Staunton.
Staunton, Va, March 27.-This is
the fourth annual session of the Bal
timore conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South. Three inches
of snow covered the ground, and the

the Rev. j. w. Shirley of GardenvIlle,
Md. Bishop Galloway of Mississippi
presided, and quite discussion was
precipltated by the committees report
on the constitution for the Epworth
Leaugue board for this conference.
The question at issue was as to the or
ganizatlon, and the report proposed a
new system. of organization, unifylng
the local policy with the general die
trict organization.
After considerable discussion, this
unifying report was adopted.
Bishop Galloway made the most i'm
pressive and effective speech of the
day in charging Dine members, J. H.
Dill, w. d. Keene, j. B. fanny, G. d.
Bulla, H. Fl. Sherman, j. J. Ring, G.
Il. Echols, M. P. WeikIe and G. F.

tied fight between Charlestown aud

tertaining the next years conference.
After many speeches and much debat-
ing Hinton was finally selected and
the choice was made unanimous.
The trustees of Woman's Parsonage
