Tuesday last until yesterday after
noon. when she was captured and
placed behind the bars.
C. f. Waters swore out a possess

against the woman in Justice Naugh-
tins court, the possessory warrant be-
ing to recover a number Of chairs
held by the woman, and which he al
legged was his property. The peace
suit was against the further use of
abusive and threatening language.
The warrants were given to Con-
stable Lillienthal for execution, and
he proceeded to Lucy's house, where
he found her barred inside. An eff

were of no avail. She threatened TO
shoot any one who dared to force the
doors, and cursed and abused the
officer in the foulest language.

Finding that the woman would not
submit to arrest and not being armed
with the proper papers to force his
way, the officer returned without his
game. II was decided TO walt day

atoned for by explanations and apollo

The departure of the relief exDedf-
ton to search for Sir John Franklin
is also mentioned in the Navy De-
partment's report.
The Secretary discusses the arti-
cles of war and says that "as the de-
partment construes the act just passed,
the punishment of whipping on board
naval ships is entirely abolished" and
he wants to know what punishment
shall take its place, because, as 1t
stands, death is the only summary
punishment left for severe attractions

This Thanksgiving will be such a ma
tional holiday as never was previs-
toned by builders of empire from the
days of the Assyrian Sargons to the
followers of Napoleon's star of world
conquest.
The flags that salute it will salute
the sun in it's course. Great Britain's
boast of the drum beat that circles
the world will be equalled by the rec
ord of the American holiday; and it
will be greater than any one country's
that it will be observed, in at least
a semi-official manner. in foreign pal
aces--even in the palace of the ruler
of an empire, the Lord of Kedleston,
Viceroy of British India.
Being purely a day of thanksgiving,
entirely free from references to VIC
tories over other nations, the Ameri-
can day of Thanksgiving is a holiday
of kind that appeals to all human
fly.
1t is essentially ''home" day, and
Is observed with deep sentiment by
all Americans in foreign countries.
So while tact may prevent the noble
families of England whose women are
American from, celebrating such days
as the Fourth of July too demonstra-
lively. there is every incentive to cele-
brate Thanksgiving thoroughly. And
a day of celebration in a manor house
of England means a feast day for
the countryside.

out her knowledge, but they had
no more than gotten inside when she
appeared armed with revolver in her
hand. This she aimed at the men
and ordered them from the house with
the threat to shoot 4 they didn't go.
Despite this threat, which was made
in a serious and meaning tone, they
took possession of the chairs and
moved them out, though unable to
bring the woman, who kept them COW
cred during the entire time they were
in the house.

Bafied again. they returned and re-
ported their i'll luck. This was carry
ing bluff too far and the magistrates
determined to force the arrest. Papers
were drawn, giving the constables full
power to bring her, ana were placed In
the hands of Constable Pitts, who, ac-
companied by a colored constable
named Holmes, went back to Lucy's
habitation, small house with
but two rooms. She was still
to submit to arrest. She cursed and
swore at the top Of her voice and
worked herself up to such a state OF
excitement that all self protection was
forgotten, and throwing open the door
she hurled a pan at the deputies. This
was what they wanted and. forcing
their way In the door. they soon had
her where violence was impossible. The
woman fought like a beast. but was
brought TO the city and placed in jail
to await hearing upon the peace pro-
ceedings. 1t is likely that warrants will
be drawn against her for assault by
the officers whom she held at bay with
the revolver.
Not to De Fooled With.
Lucy is middle-aged woman and
has the appearance of one who means
what she says. She told the officers
during their several trips to her house
that her husband had told her to shoot,
and d II she wouldn't.
After leaving Justice Wickham's
court and en- route to Justice Naugh-
tins office with the. woman. her hus-
band appeared on the scene and en-
deavored to take her away from the
constables, but he was quickly disposed
OF, though not placed under arrest.
The affair created quite a little ex-
element both at the woman's house.
and in the street. where her husband
tackled the officers. The general opin-
ion expressed by many who know the
woman is that she would have shot
had any officer laid hands on her while
she was armed.

W. A Winburn of the Central of Geor-

morning after several days in. Ten

he looked into freight matters.
Mr.. Winburn says that he found all
the railroads in the territory that he
covered in excellent condition, except
in the matter of being able to take
care of the coal business. This matter.
he says presents problem, for though
generally speaking there Is a great
scarcity of cars, yet in some places
there Is a congestion of cars wnlch Is
as might be supposed, quite as disaa-
Vantageous as the lack of cars. How
THIS affects matters, he says, is shown
by the fact that there is almost a coal
famine at Knoxville, and yet that city
is within forty miles of the mines

In the Philippines many Americans
will celebrate their Thanksgiving in
a manner that will duplicate the old
Thanksgiving days of the early set

with guns in their grasp, ready for
Indian attacks, Americans in the
Philippines win celebrate with rifles
in their hands. But there will be no
snow in their air; no nipping wind to
give, them a keen appetite for roast
turkey and strong ale; and, instead of
a rockhound coast with a frosty east
wind, they will have soft,. sleepy
shores, laved with blue seas of ever
lasting summer.

Commodore M. C. Perry proposes
a plan in this report for a vessel to be
propelled by steam to ram frigates
and other warships that depend on

riflemen that had started from Fort

before and reached Oregon City on
Oct. 5. TIE news of their arrival,
with the report of the commanding
officer. reached the Capital many
months after that. The quartermas-
ter who was assigned to the regiment
travelled for nine days to reach Fort
Leavenworth from st. Louis. He
journeyed by steamer up the Missouri
and on the way his vessel passed a
river steamer that had lost thirty pas
sengers from cholera and had been
abandoned on the shore.
The regiment lost men all along the
line of march from cholera. Graves
of emigrants who had died from the
same disease were found everywhere
along the trail.
The emigrants in that year carried
the cholera with them, and it remain
ed among them until they crossed the
North Platte. They scattered the in
lection through the whole Western
country, and once the troops came
on a camp of Indians with only six
persons left alive out of seventeen
who had made camp the night before.

all too few to meet the demands made
upon them.
BY next winter the Central of Geor-
gia will be in a better position to Sc
cure coal, both for it's own and other
purposes than it has ever been before,
for it has recently purchased, last
month, 5000 acres of coal lands lying
near Birmingham and mining will be
begun there by next fall.
These lands lie near Henrietta, from
which point they will be reached by
the Central's cars by a spur track
that is to be built some ten miles, and
which In that instance will entirely
traverse them. These mines were Sc
cured by the Central, so that 1t would
have something to fall back on when
coal is urgently needed, as is the case
this season.
