JAIL BEFORE VACCINATION.
"Scientists' Of the Upper Ten
Create Sensation.

Nearly the entire membership
of the Christian Science church
in Americus, Ca, were in the
Mayors court a few days ago to
answer charges of refusing to
submit to vaccination. Among
the defendants were twenty la,
dies, many of them prominent
in the community besides a
number of boys and girls. The
court room was crowded with
Well>dressed men and women.
Attorneys for the defense OBJ
tanned a continuance of the
cases. The Scientists will be
given the alternative of being
uuarantined at their own res;s
den-es or going to prison and
many of them, it is said, will
choose the latter.
The sentence of Mrs. Raines,
who was sentenced to thirty
days in the barracks or to leave
the city for refusing to be vacci-
mated, has been suspended until
the other cases have been dis
posed of. The affair has caused
tremendous sensation there
and little else is talked of.

The Meteoric Shower.

While the expected meteoric
display did not present itself IN
America, it seems to have favor
ed Europe with its presence. In
Russia the display caused a
panic in many places. 1t was
believed that the end of the
world had come. Churches
were open all night long and
hundreds of thousands spent
three nights in open air, fear
ing earthquakes and a general
cataclyism. There are rumors
that in some villages Russian
parents murdered their children
to relieve them from an expected
worse fate. There was a rather
brilliant meteoric display be-
tween 2 and 5 o'clock Thursday
morning at Berlin.

HER SECRET DIED WITH HER
Philadelphia Woman Doctor
Failed to Disclose a Formu-
la for Which $4,000
Had Been Offered.

Philadelphia, November 49,
The death in the almshouse Of
DR.. Isabel Mitchell, Of this city,
has disclosed a remarkable story
Brought to that institution a de,
lirious sufferer from the garret
of a house in which she was
practically friendless and alone,
she died without relatives at
hand, and with a secret formula
locked in her breast for which
she had refused the sum of $780,
600.
DR.. Mitchell's failure to get
along in the world was partly
brought about by her refusal to
accept terms for a scientific dis
covery. She was a practicing
physician for many years, and
while engaged in her profession
al work became interested in the
subject of preserving meats and
vegetables without the aid of
ice. After many experiments
she finally brought to perfection
a formula which she said was
absolutely harmless to the health
OF consumers and the food in
which it was placed. The pro-
cess consisted in the forcing of
ozone into the articles desired |
to be preserved.
Confident of success, she im>
pressed some of the largest bus
mess and financial men in New
York and Chicago with the val-
ue of her invention, and often
appeared to be progressing to>
ward the realization of fortune
Her process had received the in
dorsement of such men as Drs.
DeWolt and Gleason, of the
Chicago Board Of Health, and
DR.. Billings, of New York.
F. K. Thurber and other
prominent New Workers, with |
William P. Clyde, of this city,
were about to become interested
in her patents. She had re
ceived offers ranging from $751;
900 to $4,000 for the perpetual
use and possession of the valu-
able formula, but she always re-
fused the offers in the hope that
she would be able to influence
a number of the capitalists to
incorporate stock company.

CHRONIC LOSER OF TICKETS
Scheme Worked by An Aged
Woman With Profitable
Results.

A respectfully dressed old wo,
man apparently in deep distress
was noticed standing at the foot
of the steps of an elevated rail>
road station the other day just at
the hour when the rush was at
its height. The woman had ap-
parently lost something of value
She searched her pockets, shook
out her skirts, and scanned the
ground on every side. OF course
it was not long before her dis>
tress attracted the notice of
passersby. II have lost my tick
et," she said, in answer to the
query Of a man who stopped for
a moment in his rush for the
train. 81 don't know what to do,
for l have not a nickel with me
and I live away uptown"
The man pulled string of
tickets from his pocket, tore off
one, handed it to the woman and
resumed his rush without wait
ing for her thanks. But the
woman did not follow. She
merely moved ACROSS to the
flight of steps on the other side.
Here she resumed her search
with the result that nickel was
transferred to her pocket by a
passing woman. Next she cross
ed the avenue and gathered some
more nickels and tickets from
the passengers going in the op-
posite direction. finally return
ing to her original stand, where
her plight attracted as much
compassion as before. While the
observer was looking OH the
woman made two rounds of the
stairs, each round occupying
about ten minutes. Sometimes
she was able to conduct three or
four successful operations With>
out changing her position. 1t is
probable that her average earn>
ings were at the rate of $2 in
nickels and negotiable tickets an
hour.=NeW York Sun.

A DESPERATE FIGHT.
An Old Mans Work With An
Axe.

There was last night a des
tperate fight at the home of a
white man named Johnson, who
lives some fifteen miles from
Raleigh, N. c. Seven men
were engaged in it, and four of
them were seriously wounded,
two of them perhaps fatally.
The trouble originated in a
tight between two young men.
John Butler and Henry johnson
Friday afternoon. Both had
been drinking and when separa-
ted Butler told Johnson he
would come over that night and
whip the whole Johnson family.
At IL o'clock last night, true to
his promise, he went to the
Johnson home, accompanied by
three COnfederates, Bat Lowry,
Jep Warren and Henry Brid>
gers.
Johnson's father refused to
admit them into the house,
whereupon they broke the door
down and forced an entrance.
Johnson's eldest son seized a
pistol and fired, wounding Low
ry in the arm. Lowry then at !
tackled the boy. AS he did so the
father seized an axe and struck |
Lowry three times with it, cuts
ting him on both arms and |
wounding him in the chest. |
Lowry sank to the floor crying
for mercy. The father then turn
ed upon Warren, who had thrown
the second son to the floor and
was beating him numerically.
Warren received two blows in
the back with the axe. The low
pitch of the room saved War;
ren's life. The father in his ex>
citenent raised his axe so high
that it buried itself in the cells
ing, and thus weakened the des-
cending blow.
Butler and Bridgers now fed,
but later returned and carried
Lowry and Warren to neigh
boris house. Both are seriously
wounded. Bridgers is under ar
rest but Butler has escaped

The Lake DrummOnd Canal

tug boat will leave every other
day except Sunday. commen
cling August 28th, making trips
as follows: Leaves Norfolk
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days. Returning, leayes Eliza
beth City, Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays.
The Canal Company insures
nine feet of water at present
time between the locks, and in
a few weeks they will have ten
feet Of water in the canal. The
Company has dredged fifteen
feet in depth for a distance of
three thousand feet below the
locks in Deep Creek. They
have also made deep water be-
tween South Mills locks, in the
waters of the Pasquotank river.
The Canal Company has dredg-
ed the Old Turner Cut to the
depth of ten feet at low water.
Thus far the Canal Company
can insure a sufficient depth of
water.
The Canal Company would
OF at present guarantee a safe
passage between Norfolk and
Elizabeth City for boats draws
ing more than seven and half
feet of water-as the Pasquotank
has one shoal place, and Deep
Creek at low water has not m ore
than seven and a half feet at the
present time.
The government has appro>
priated money to deepen and
widen Deep Greek and also to
deepen and straighten the wat
ers of the Pasquotank river.
This work IS to commecc at
once. The Company in the
meantime intend to improve
and widen the canal, and in the
near future the Canal Company
believe that they will have a
canal and waterway between the
points named that cannot be ex
celled in this country.

Fight With a Big Owl.

H. K Spencer had an excit>
ing encounter with a monster
owl on Wednesday of last week,
whi,h resulted in Mr.. Spencer
coming off the victor with a
badly lacerated arm, and in the
owl becoming a corpse. Mr..
Spencer was enjoying a days
outing with his gun and hi
dogs, and along in the after
noon he saw two large owls rest
ing upon branch of a dead tree
in a field. He concluded to take
a shot at the birds. He had
crept up close enough to secure
a shot, when both birds took
flight. but he succeeded in wing
ing one of them. The owl fell
to the ground and remained mo-
tionless. Mr.. Spencer had had
some experience with owls be>
fore and realized the fact that it
would be safe to take precau-
tions before approaching it, lest
life had not left the creature.
Accordingly he placed his foot
upon the owls feet, and was in
the act of cutting its throat,
when the bird suddenly with
drew one of his powerful talons
from under his foot aud with
lightning rapidity sank its claws
into his left arm. Efforts 10 re-
lease his arm from the birds
vise-like grip were of no avail
until he had killed it by crush
ing its head under his heel.
Even then be was compelled to
cut the tondons OF the birds leg
before the claws could be re-
moved from the flesh of his arm,
which had by this time swoolen
terribly. Mr.. spencer brought
the carcass of the owl to town.
where it was measured. 1t was
one of the largest specimens of
the owl family ever seen in this
part of the country, measuring
four feet four inches from tip to
tip.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
