COURAGEOUS HlNDus.
They FeariessIy Attack villa Animals
and Reptiles.

In some things the natives of Bengal
and Behar are wonderfully courageous,
and the bravest deed that | ever wit
messed says a writer in Gentleman's
Magazine, was performed in the coolest
manner possible by two of my own do
nestle servants. One morning, while
seated in the veranda of my bungalow,
a mad jackal rushed through the
grounds and went under a raised go
down, which was close to the bunga-
low. / left the veranda for my gun,
and on my return | discovered two of
my servants armed with hog spears
creeping under the goodwin until they
came within striking distance of the
jackal, when they quickly transfxed
him with their spears. The offer of
bank check on the Bank of England
would not have induced me to act in
the way that these brave fellows did.
An old mihtar (sweeper), a man of
the lowest caste in my service, who was
nearly bent double with age, was the
smartest hand at killing a venomous
snake that / ever knew. The old fell
low used to sit up at night in the fowl
house for the purpose Of destroying the
cobras that came after the eggs; and
one morning before dawn l stepped
into the veranda of my bungalow in
time 70 see him pulling KARAT out of
hole with one hand, which grasped
the reptiles TAIL while in the other
hand was held a stick, which promptly
descended on the karit's head as soon
as it appeared in view. 1t was all done
very neatly and smartly, and as quietly
as If the old man had been crushing a
beetle

that tramp, the Countess of Devon, for
over year-you see her lights out
there, two miles from the mole-and
the biggest stakeholder in the com
pany that owns her is old Leon
Ramirez, Of Liverpool and this place.
So when the Isla de Ponape, that used
to carry mail to the Carolines and

Still At Large:
Thieves Carrying on in Mari0n-Other
Notes From the Free Press.

Col. G. L. Skinner left this morning
for Ashyille, N. c., where he goes for
the benefit of his health.
Mrs. Mack Stewart died at her home

The thieves are still in the county
robbing at various points, and so far
have not been caught. Last week a
saloon at Monongah was robbed and
$3.50 in cash was taken. Still no clue.
Clyde Holt has no trace of his goods
that were taken from him, and the
thieves are still at large.
Berry s. Kidder, who had the con-
tract for paving the streets OF Morgan
town, have thrown up the Job and
will bring suit against the town for
the recovery Of damages and for labor
performed. The streets Of the town
are represented to be in very bad
condition for winter, and unless some
one gets hold OF them who knows how
to do paving the chances are that the
Modern Athens will be in the mud all
winter. Morgantown people can yet
save money and have good streets by
securing some of our Fairmont street
builders to do this work at once, and
they will have the streets passable in
few days. We have street builders
here who are fixed for the business.

May Not BE Worth saving-Court of In
Guiry to BE Held.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-The legal
status of the Maria Teresa has been
considered cursorlly and in the opinion
of the navy department the title of the
United States to her is unimpaired, not
withstanding the fact that it was neces-
sary to abandon her for time. There
may be some question involved as to
the payment of salvage to the Bahamas
fishermen, # they are entitled to any
From the account received it is feared
the damage to the vessel sustained
through the storm and the probable
pounding upon the coral reefs outlying
Cat island. added to the wounds re-
ceiyed by the ship in action when she
sunk originally are sufficient to render
her entirely valueless. Nothing but an
experts examination can determine this
point, but as the Merritt experts are
already OH their way to Cat island that
question will soon be decided.
The navy department has decided a
court of inquiry shall be held to decide
whether the abandonment of the Teresa
at sea was Justifiable and if not who
was responsible.
