The Fiends May Be Caught.

DELAWARE, ONO, February 8.-Miss Nancy
Fix, who was tortured and robbed of fortune
on Tuesday night last, and who is in dying
condition from the effects of her injuries, has
recovered sufficiently to describe her assail-
ants, four in number, two of whom we're mere
boys.
She said that after binding and torturing
her the men compelled her to reveal the hid.
ing place of her money and that they secured
$15,0 900 in cash from jar where she kept it.
1t was at first reported that $1,000 was taken.
The woman also said that the robbers attempt.
ed to set fire to her clothing, and after secur-
the money they left her bound and nearly
naked Before going they built three fires in
the house with the intention of burning it, and
then locked all the doors.

A Negro Customs Collector.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. $40 the dis
NAV of the whites of Savannah, Ga, the
President today nominated John H. Deveaux,
a lie lding colored politician, as Collector of
Customs at that port. When Congressman
Lester called at the White House this morning
and informed the President of the intensity of
feeling against Deveaux, the President replied
that he could not see his way clear to deprive
Deveaux of the appointment, to which he was
confirmed by the solid Endorsement of the
regular Republican organization of the Stale
of Georgia.
So bitter is the feeling in Savannah that
threats of violence are made should Deveaux
be confirmed and attempt to assume the duties
of the Office.

The Latter Day Saints have found
the region around the outskirts OF

their labors. Their missionaries have
gone through the country in the most
persistent way and have gradually
worked up what is, under the circum-
stances. quite large following. This
has only been done after many tribu-
lations, but that it has been done at
all is significant.

SECOND WEST VIRGINIA.
Will go South as soon as cold
Weather comes.

Leave Wednesday for Philadelphia to
Participate In Peace Jubilee Men
are In fine Fettle-Don't want to go
TO Cuba but win go all Right Nor
Roys Doing well.
Kent Snyder of the Second West
Virginia has returned to camp after
spending a week here visiting his
friends. He will get there sometime
on Tuesday night and the whole out
fit will leave early Wednesday for
Philadelphia where they will partic
ipate in the peace jubilee this week.
They will arrive in the city at mid
night on Wednesday,.
The men expect to go south about
the tenth and by the twentieth of
next month they will all be on the
road to Cuba However this has
been left to the discretion of General
Graham and in case he thinks that
the weather is not cold enough for
them to venture into the yellow fever
districts they will not go until later.
Had the cold weather come this
year as early as usual the men would
have been 10 Cuba now.
Kent thinks that the men will go
to Cuba all right. They have been
doing lots of growing but that is
the soldiers privilege and since they
know that the Cuban trip is the
best they can get they are perfectly
satisfied to go They had hoped to
go to the Philippines or to Porto
Rico and were very anxious to getto
either place.
The health of the regiment is
good and the men are well fed. They
have had nothing to complain Of
since they got out of the camp at
Charleston and had time to get
things into running order. The of
ficers as a general rule are all right
and are popular with the men es-
peeially the higher officers.
The regiment is fast improving in
drill and discipline and is one Of
the best volunteer regiments in the
service. All the Morgantown men
in it and those who are known here
are getting along very well and
would not get out of the service if
they could.

A Grip that Attracted Attention.

An interested crowd gathered around
a grip sack that stood on the b. & o.
platform few mornings ago, looking
upon it as wonderful piece of mans
travelling outfit. It was common
every-day-grip, but the attraction lay
in its history as recorded on the out
side. At first glance it looked as
though it might belong to foreign
potentate, but while the crowd were
wondering over it the owner, Attorney
W. J. Johnson, walked up and ex-
planned all. 1t had been over a good
portion of the globe from far away
Alaska TO the Muskovite land. Stick
ing all over it, covering up almost
every inch of surface, are the names
of the different hotels, printed on
slips, at which the owner stopped
during his travels in Europe and
Alaska. They are nearly all printed
in foreign language and are very at
ractive.-News Standard.
