A curious fzct which for many years

were the czterpiIlArs or larvae Of q
moth belonging &c the same family As
the common and al too familiar
clothes moth
From their diminurire kize The moths
belonging 10 this family have received
the name Of tineidze; and it has been
obserred that they are all more or less
given to making their homes IL strange
places during the izrsal stage Of their
exissence. The little larvae Of our old
enemy the clothes moth, for instance.

But. although no much Of their life

question was that no one knew for GER

many people
The case is styled W H. Ansley

and brings before the court the
constitutionality of the legislation
contained in the Curtis bill and
tbe Atoka agreement, by which
the rights oil the individual
holders of coal claims Is taken
away. The complaint, which

the provisions Of the treaties nm
der which the Choctaw govern
ment Was organized, the rights
conferred, the constitutional pro-
visions of the Cboctaw nation and
their laws, customs and usages un-
der which the rights of coal dis
coyerers originated. II alleges

lease to o. E.. Woods. 1t sets up
that o. z. Woods and James
Elliot. as general manager and
president OF the Ora Coal and
Mining company are proposing to
pay the royalties due TO plaintiffs
into the treasury Of the United
States to apply to Ainsworth and
Burris as coal trustees for new
lease Of the premises. 1t attacks
the provisions OF the Curtis bill
and Atoka agreement as being IN
violation of the constitution Of the
United States and az violating the
rights conferred by the treaties
between. that nation, and is taking
away rights that have existed and
had been acquired and vested un-
der existing laws without due pro-
cess of Law. without hearing and

er for relief asks that defend
ants Elliott and Woods and the
Ora Coal and Mining company be
restrained from making an appli-
cation for q new lease and from
paying the royalties due plaintiffs
into the treasury of the United
and asks that the defend
ants, Ainsworth and Burris, be en-
joined from receiving such appli-
cation for a new lease and from Is
suing or executing the same.

NAULTS NARROW ESCAPE.
Els Team Struck by a Train Near the
Tarklln Station.

Charles Nault narrowly escaped death in
railway crossing accident near the Tsrkiln sta
tion on the Pascoagbranch Of the New England
road yesterday. Nault was violently thrown
from his wagon, which was demolished and
the horse which he was driving was killed.
Nault drives bakers cart for Harrisvile
bakery and was going his regular rounds
yesterday. A. he approached the crossing nc
did not hear any train and on account OF the
curves in the track was unable TO see very far
either way. So he started TO cross and Just
as ne was getting onto the track train from
this city came bowling around the curve. II
was too late for anybody to do anything and
in an instant the collision came.
The whole outfit was sent flying through the
air. The horse was killed, the wagon was de
inolished and il would have been hard To find
piece too big for kindling wood. Nault wus
found beside the track conscious but evidently
suffering from the shock of the collision. He
was taken to Pascoag on the train and was
sent to the hotel where he was attended by n
doctor. The exact nature of his injuries have
not been ascertained yet.
