Writ of Error Granted.

Messrs. r. ID. Brumbsck and Howard
w. Smith, counsel for George Midgets,
colored, sentenced to be hanged in this
CITY on the 24th instant for the murder
of Charles T. Smith on the goth Of last
October, went to Richmond last Monday
for the purpose of applying to the Court
Of Appeals for a writ of error and super
sedeas. Today Judge Keith, President
of the Court of Appeals, notified the
attorneys that the writ asked for had
been granted. This action on the part
Of the appellate court will act as a stay
of judgment in the case, and Midget'
will not be hanged on Friday week, as
had been anticipated. The Court oil
Appeals will meet in November.
1t is not known upon what grounds
the writ of error wss granted, but 1t is
believed here that it is either for the
reason that the counsel for Midgets had
not sufficient time TO prepare their case,
or that the motion to remove the case to
another court was denied. 1t appears
that there is a statute which provides
that when the militia are ordered out 10
protect a prisoner, the court shall
grant a motion to remove the case to q
city or county remote from the scene
where the offense occurred.

Jean Brent, deserves great credit for the
tasteful manner in which the decorations

An especial feature Of the service was
that the first Bible snd Prayer BOOK
used in the church was used also on this
occasion. This was especially appropri-
ate, for the men ct jamestown, when
they worshIpped under their sail cloth

minister when be preached from nis

used the English Bible and Prayer Book

Good Selection.

The Board of Aldermen last night by
a unanimous vote elected Mr. Henry K.
Field as the successor of the late George
L. Simpson as Alderman from the Third
ward. About ell that can be said con-
corning the new Alderman was uttered
last night by President Curtin, who
nominated him. Among other things
he said it WAS unnecessary to say any
thing concerning Mr.. Field, AZ he was
welI-known 10 all Alexsndrians, where
he was born and reared. He had ever
proven faithful and trustworthy to those
who had entrusted their business 10 him
and had later in life shown ability to
conduct his own successfully; hence
there is every reason to believe that bis
duty in a representative capacity will
be equally well-periormed.

HAGUE CONFERENCE
INTERNATIONAL PRIZE COURT
DETAILS ABOUT SETTLED.
Permanent Tribunal Composed
of Fifteen Judges to Control.
Modified Drago Doctrine En-
dorsed in Committee-Other
Hague Matters.

The Hague, July 30.-Great Britain
and Germany have practically agreed
on>a proposition regarding the estab.
lishment of an international prize
court under the terms of which the
tribunal is made permanent and is to
have fifteen judges. The United States,
Japan and six of the great European
powers will furnish one Judge each.
Latin America will supply two, and
the reamining five will be sent from
other countries represented in the
peace conference. It is further un.
derstood that if the American proposal
regarding the establishment of a per.
manent court of arbitration is adopt.
ed, and this seems most likely, the
judges of the arbitration court will be
also the judges of the prize court.
The prize court is to include two ad.
mirals to be presented by the belliger-
ents, but to be present in an advisory
capacity only. This suggestion was
made by Joseph FL. Choate, of the
American delegation.

LOST INDIAN TRIBE FOUND.



Discovered In Canada by Surveying
Party.
James M. Cornish, head Of a survey
ing party working in the wilderness Of
the Yellowhead pass In the Canadian
Rockies which the Grand Trunk Pa
cifc Railroad Company seeks to pene-
trate with its transcontinental line
brings to Spokane a story of the dis
cOvery of more than 800 families of
Indians hidden miles from civilization
In the northern wilds, says the New
York World. They appear to be pros
porous and contented, passing most Of
their time in the. chase of big game
and breeding horses.
Their story of settling In Yellow
head pass is romantic" Mr.. Cornish
said, reading more like a chapter re-
corded by Fenimore Cooper than an
historical fact. The Indians claim to
be descendants from the once power
full Iroquois nation, which wrought so
nuS havoc in the eighteenth century.
Generations ago, they say, they lived
in Illinois, but in the Blackhawk up
rising they were driven from the
States and for safety were forced to
flee to the northwest.
'They Travelled many months through
strange lands and territories ruled by
savage Indian tribes. They sought
shelter with the Blood, Blackfeet, Cree
and Beaver Indians, but were treated
like outcasts and finally driven farther
westward.
From camp to camp they journeyed
until they struck the Nez Perez cOun-
try In Northern Idaho, going then to
Spokane and Yakima settlements, but
they were not allowed to remain From
the Yakima valley they went into the
COlville district, where half their num-
Der were killed in combat with the
Colvilles and Occur d'Alenes.
FINALLY, one of their chiefs told
me, they settled in the Rocky Noun
tains at the mouth Of Yellowhead pass
and as no one appeared to modest them
they remained. For a time they trad
ed with the Hudson Bay people, but
for more than 100 years they have not
been in communication with either fac
tors or traders, whether this is be-
cause of some real or fancied wrong
1 was not able to learn, but 1 did
note peculiar turn of the lip when
the chief talked about his forebears'
dealings with the company"
Mr.. Cornish says many Of the horses
found in the pass are high bred and
fleet Of foot. The men devote much
Of their time to tribal sports, such as
games between boys, foot racing and
ball playing, the last-named pastime
being a cross between lacrosse and
baseball, the bat being similar to that
used by cricketers, with a net on the
end. The Indians appeared to be
friendly to Mr.. Cornish and his party
and entertained them at potlatch dur
ing their stay.
