Affairs at Rosslyn

Although there has been comparative
quiet at Rosslyn since James Geary's
saloon was wrecked by soldiers from
Fort Myer last Wednesday night, the
military authorities have thought it best
to continue the guard at that place to
prevent another disturbance. Each
day detachment of soldiers has been
sent to the village under command of
Captain Foote Since the saloon was
wrecked a rigid investigation has been
conducted for the purpose of ascertain
ing the names of those connected with
the affair and the amount of damage to
the saloon. 1t was completed yesterday
and q report was made to Colonel Hig-
gins, commandment of the post at Fort
Myer. Colonel Higgins declined to
make known its contents, 1t will be
forwarded 10 the War Department.
Several arrests have been made in con-
nection with the shooting of Private
Pancoast, which was the cause of the
raid upon the saloon. James A. Geary,
proprietor of the saloon, is out on a
bond of 81, 600 TO the Alexandria county
authorities, charged with completely in
the shooting. Private PancOast is said
to be on the mend, though it is thought
it will be some little time before he will
be able to leave the hospital

Ginnt Hauniian Bold.

There are three well known varieties
Of eel found In Hawaiian waters. The
largest is the big gray fellow. which 80
closely resembles his cousin. the con-
ger. He is yoracious and fearless. and
the natives tackle him with caution. FOR
when cornered he fights yiciously and
can infiict nasty wound with bis
powerful Jaws, which bristle with nee
dlelike teeth.
The other species are fat, fabby look
ing customers, with fantastic markings
of black and brown and many shades
of gray. On an eel of this sort the skin
appears to hang loose from the BODY
and when disturbed the head sweeis
like a puff adder's. These cells seldom
attain greater length than three feet
and love to locate in the crevices OF q
stone breakwater, from which they
dart out necessarily and make havoc
among any school Of small fry winch
may be innocently disporting them
selves within striking distance. These
hooded cells have been known to haunt
a particular spot for over year. They
are good eating, despite their UMPIRE
possessing appearance.
