a marvellous feat. But the battle was

he could throw Into the fight, and he
had only to show himself in possession
Of the English crest TO bring Prince
Gortchakoff's 10000 men into the fight.
The resisting power OF the British. too,
was steadily shrinking. Many OF the
men were utterly sexhausted; they had

| grief, the grief of, brave men who felt
that bravery was vain.
Attthis moment, 1t must be remem-
bered. Dannenbcrg was scourging the
narrow British front with the fire of
many guns. and was preparing to
launch upon 1t, 1900 infantry, 5000 of
| whom were fresh troops. He was op-
| posed, In all. by 5000 British infantry
and l.6C0 French troops, who had Just
come UP, and thirty-eight guns. The
air. too, at this time, grew clearer. and
the fire, of the Russian guns more deud-
W The Russian attacks. moreover
were, sent home with greater daring
and confidence than at any other period
! Of the fight.
AS 1t happened, n French battalion,
the Seventh Leger, had Just moved into
the gap along which the Russians were
coming, The Russian cleaned through
the gray mist. paused. and the French
moved forward 4 few PAGES. Then Il
curious tremor' ran along their front,
and q murmur, rose In the ranks. The
men. apparently, were protesting
against an advance in line-one quite
fish staff officer Galloped to the front OF
the line, and, With loud shouts, urged
the mass forward. Slowly. the onward
movement was resumed. but the British
officer, struck by q bullet. fell and the
French ionceYmore paused: the forma-
ton began to crumble, the line swaycd
backward. Lord Raglan and his staff
were watching the scene. and 1t Is said
that at this moment alone. during the
whole fight, Lord Raglan's face lost for
an instant itH cheerful calm. He had
sent an alae-de-camp to Pennefathe. to
ask hoW the fight was going on In the
part OF the. line he commanded. That
officer, In all the rapture of desperate
fight. sent hacl; the cheerful message
that everything was going on well. the
enemy'S infantry showed symptoms of
retiring, and if few more troops could
be sent TO him he would follow the en-
envy up and lick them to the d.!
The blast Of that courageous message
stirred the blood OF the somewhat de-
spondent staff like the note OF a bugle:
Canrobert In PartIcul2. breaking out
into ordinations. "Ah, Nuel brave
garcon. Nuel brave homme: quel bon
general" ,G &AE
NAt this moment some two hundred
men OF the Seventy-seventh, Leo. By
Colonel Egerton. came up by fours. and
at the double. The men brushed
roughly against the flank Of the retiring
French battalion. One Of Eacrton's cap
tains demonstrated with q French OIL

French still continued to fall back. but

openedSa steady fire on the Russian
front. ,e5'sl: {,

Charming Audacity.

The Morgantown New Dominion has
evolved q most singular solution Of the
senatorial situation at Charleston. As
as alternative between the devil and
the deep sea 1t simply sparkles with the
fire of genius, and for charming audaci-
ty 1t is really refreshing. The New
Dominion's discovery Is that "Ex-Gov-
error A. B. Fleming may be the solu-
ton of the senatorial middle and the
chances are that he may so to the SEN
ate with the votes of some Democrats
combined with those of some Republi-
cans. He has not openly announced
himself as candidate but he has gone
to Charleston to look after the lcsisla-
ture and IL he thinks that the time is
ripe he will come out. He told several
friends In Fairmont OF his intentions
before he left there and they profess to
think that he has almost shown his
hand in the caucus nominations"
I'VE are not advised that Governor
Fleming Is inimical TO Col. I1cGraw,
and the Inference that he would COM
mand the support Of the op.
position to king pin In tho
Democratic combination cannot be re-
conciled with his warm and avowed
friendship for Speaker Mckinney. But
the calm impotence Of the proposition
is contained In the suggestion that
""Fleming is very strong with the party
and he can probably get them together
better than any othc: man. At the
same time he can capture some votes
from the Republican side. There arc
men on that side who would rather sec
him go 10 the senate than any Republi-
can who has been mentioned. They
will give him their votes after the dead
I lock has continued for some time. NC
Graw has opposition In the party while
It has been quiet 1t has been powerful
and he cannot land att the votes in the
party. This being the case he Will have

Irrcduciblc School Fund.

The recommendations Of Governor
Atkinson for the distribution OF the
irreducibfe school fund strikes many as
a very good proposition; It is possible
thatit wis u wise provision in the curly
history OF the state when the public
school system needed some fostering
care. but now it would seem that the
educational system Is in such shape
that the boarding of this money for the
use Of future generations is not only an
unnecessary burden upon, but an injus-
ticc to the present generation.
The provision for this fund is imbed-
ded in the constitution, and any change
contemplated would necessarily be In
the shape Of an amendment to that in
strument, which would have to be rati-
fed by the people. AS It most concerns
the people it would be nothing more
than fair to leave 1t to them to say
whether they will continue to carry the
burden or relieve themselves OF It. In
any event the agitation of the matter
can do no possible harm. &

A Pregnant Day Of Court
Events at the Boston

P6NIT6NTIARY yHWNS.
Several Victims to Passion Will
Serve Long Terms. Judge
p. III. Jones and w. H.
Dean in Bad HumOr.

Yesterdays session of the Dis.
trict court at Boston, was quite ex-
citing-at least to those who were
given long term in the peniten-
tiary.
The first thing to transpire to
make the cold shivers run up the
back of prisoner Simeon Hays, was
when the jury, that had been out
since Saturday evening, announced
that they had determined on a YER
dict. 1t was thought by many and
freely discussed on the streets that
the jury would either acquit or it
would be mistrial, but the jury
was not made up of that kind of
stuff, and when the clerk read the
verdict, it was found that Simeon
Hays was given seven years in the
state penitentiary.
Percy Curtis, a coal black negro,
was next led out He was charged
with making criminal assault on
Mrs. Britt, near the fair grounds.
He said he was guilty and the court
gave him thirty years in the peni-
Tertiary to reflect over the enor-.
nifty of his crime, and also to reflect
and thank his God that mob was
not formed to take him of before
his allotted time.
Charlie Miller and Harry Williams
who were charged with playing
officers and relieving A. L. Long of
purse of money, we're given ten
years each in the penitentiary,
The quietude of the court house
was disturbed by county Judge
