1t was learned here Tuesday that

he diving about six DAYS after being
shot. Feeling against Barger ran
very high among the miners, and
Sheriff Dixon, of Mineral county,
feared that the news of the death OF
Adams would be the signal for mob
to attack the Jail in an effort to get
possession of Barger. He secretly
placed him on board Baltimore and
Ohio tram at night and brought him
to Martinsburg where he was turned
over to Deputy Sheriff Caldwell for
safe keeping.
Two nights after Barger had been re-
moved from Keyser, aud before il was
discovered that he had been spirited
awav, a mob of between 800 aud 400
miners and others gathered to storm
the iail. II is believed they would
have made determined effort to
break in but for the fact that it was
announced to them that their intend
ed victim was beyond their Jaach.
Barger shct Adams in quarrel

claims that Adams was attempting to
kill him with a shotgun. and that he
fired in self-defense.

CAN'T GET INTO THE SCHOOLS.
Few Jews Allowed Privileges of
Higher Education--Limitati
Serious burden on Race.

A dispatch from Moscow points ont
that one of the regulations which is
pressing heaviest on the better class Of
Jews in Russia. says the New York
sun. is that which limits the number Of
Jews who may be admitted to the rights
Of higher education. II is common to
find Jews endeavoring TO pass examina-
lions for the universities and other
schools which have rights equivalent to
those of the universities merely in or
DER to secure the privilege of residing in
any part Of the empire. which is accorded
to those who have passed.
The difficulty Of getting into the high
er schools is enormous for anyone Of
Jewish birth. Only certain percentage
is accepted into the secondary educa-
iional establishments, from which alone
entrance to the higher schools Is gained.
In the latter the percentage again bars
the way Only three. and In some cases
Ave, per cent. of the total number of
students may be Jews.
An example is given OF one establish
ment which at the beginning of the
present academic year had 800 vacancies.
Seven hundred applications were made
by young men who were qualified to en-
ter. OF these 275 were Jews, but the
maximum number OF Jews II was posi-
BILE to admit was Is.

STRANGE MARINE MONSTER.
Gus Fish Weighing f25 Pounds
with Rod and Reel.

Edward Llewellyn, a cornet soloist of
the Catalina Island band. is a most en-
thusiasic end picturesque angler
Recently he made the record Jewish
catch. one weighing 425 pounds; the 9th
er morning he though he would inscrib2
the tuna record also on his diadem. and
taking the Catalina hiked out after the
biggest specimens of the tiger-ish to be
taken. lie had uncorked bat a small per-
ton OF his stock of patience when his red
began 10 whiZz.
And then 1t whizzed. BY eonsummate
skill Llewellyn prevented the fish from
getting away In the first grand rushes,
and then he began on the aggressive. For
an hour and q minutes a fierce fight
lasted. II was a formidable-lookingc rea-
ture that was at length brought alongside
the boat, and there was debate, after il
was gated. as to whether II would be a
welcome addition to the crew.
Hung up on the rack here. the creature
began to excite comment To the casual
observer 1t was but moou-fish a rather
unusual catch, but occasionally caught
and brought in by being entangled in the
fishermen's nets. This, however, was
caught with hook and rod and reel,
something unknown to fishermen hith-
erto. A glance at the flsh also showed a
radical difference between this and the
sword-fish.
Its sword Is not so long as that Of the
genuine sword-fsh of this length; the
lower Jaw is unduly elongated; it has on
its back collapsibla fin, which. when
extended, stands up IL inches above the
fish. but folds down into a grove. until
1t is unnoticeable; the tail is like the
screw Of propeller, and very similar
In appearance to that of the tuna.
The fish sharps are all guessing. The
like ofthis has not been seen here before,
nor can any enlightenment be had from
any books on the subject to be had here.
The strange creature is nine feet long
and weighs 125 pounds. The sword is
"a inches long and the tail is SO across.
