Heroic Incident.
Churchv,lle Fob 90

Churchvllle, Feb. %.
During the recent freshet Miss Raw
ley, who resides near Green Valley,
and who attends school in our village,
usually riding several miles to do so,
unfortunately made an attempt to ford
jennings Branch when it was almost
impossible to cross. From some cause
she lost her seat in the saddle and was
precipitated into the rushing torrent.
The stream bore her with its madden
ing dash into sweeping current,
where she found Judgment against an
immense boulder. The force of the
water in some way enyeloped the sLone
with her skirts, which held her pris-
Oner. Her cries attracted the notice of
a young student, Claude Moyerhofer,
who ran to the opposite shore, discOv-
ering her situation he bounded through
the eddying water, leaped upon the
suspension bridge, and soon reached a
point from where he plunged into the
seathing, roaring flood, from which he
rescued the chilled and almost exhaus-
ted girl from her perilous position.
Miss Rawley was kindly cared for at
the nearest house, while her gallant
knight sought refuge in neigh boring
store, where he disrobed with difficult
ty from his now stiffiy frozen garments.
The age of chivalry is not buried
with centuries past, but only waits for
opportunity to burst into full flower.
Should not we yield the palm to this
brave and daring youth :?
Yes Irvine the laurel and the bay,
And crown him hero of the day.
By later report it is claimed a Mr..
Snyder assisted in rescuing Miss Raw
ley, but it seems young Moyerhofer
took the initiative.

Profitable Hypnotism.

A sensational case of what is believed
to have been hypnotic influence was
revealed at Bristol, Va, Sunday, when
John Fosgate, reputed hypnotist and
clairvoyant, thirty years old, and Will
liam Lewis, his alleged confederate
about the same age, were arrested on
complaint of Mrs. Mamie Lindsay,
widow of Stuart f. Lindsay, who was
clerk of the United States Court at
Abingdon for many years.
Mrs. Lindsay. being advised that
FOsgate and his associate were about
to leave the city, made known to the
police that she had mortgaged real es-
tate in this city to the extent of $4,000,
which amount she had turned over in
cash to Fosgate, together with gold
watch, diamond ring and other
jewelry.
Mrs. Lindsay is daughter of the
late Isaac c. Fowler, who was for
twenty-five years clerk of the Federal
Court at Abingdon, Virginia, and who,
prior to that time conducted newspa-
per in Bristol, and who was under the
Malone regime speaker of the House.
The family is one of the best known
and most highly connected in South
western Virginia Mrs. Lindsay has
been SO conservative in the manage
ment of her business affairs that her
neighbors are greatly surprised that she
was made the victim of such scheme.
While this matter was brewing Eos
gate was busy with the preparation of
lecture on church work, which he
said he expected to deliver soon before
the Bristol Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION.
In the possession of Fosgate and his
associate were found tools and appli-
ances said by the police to be well
suited for burglary.
Mr.. Stuart F, LINDSAY, was well
known in this quarter from his boy
hood.

Girl Held the Barrel.

A special to Richmond from Louisa
on Friday says: The vigilance of two
revenue officers was made Of no avail
when they attempted to capture still
on the farm of S. w. Anthony, in
Louisa county, last week. They were
foiled by the farmers daughter, young
lady of $50 pounds, who sat through
out a raging snowstorm on barrel
supposed to contain brandy. The Of
ficers did not dare 10 try TO use force in
removing the fair guardian of the sup
posed ''moonshine," for several Of her
relatives were standing around with
hands on suggestively bullying hip
pockets. Thoughtful adherents kept
hot bricks applied to the woman's feet
while the officers were trying to per-
suade her to move. While the officers.
were trying to get smell of the con-
tents of the barrel, four women, five
white men and three negroes who were
on the place escaped, and have not yet
been captured.

BIG STAR COMING.
TRIxIE FRAGANZA IN THE AMERICAN
IDEA

TRIXIE FRAGANZA IN THE AMERICAN
! IDEA.
With ssFhe American Idean which
| is the next attraction at the Beverly
Theatre for one performance, Tuesday
evening, March 1st. 1t is claimed that
Geo. NJ. Cohan has taken stronger grip
than ever on the army of theatregoers
who delight in the Conan idea of en-
|tertainment. Everybody knows what
that means-action from first curtain
to the last. "The American Idea" is
another ssY ankee Prince" only differ
ent and sparkling with many a novel
ty; the theme is the same,-American
in Paris this time instead of In London.
A Brooklyn German Brewer and q
Brooklyn Irishman, social rivals, each
with son and a daughter, title-hunt-
ing. A plot that gives Cohan the op-
pOrtunity for incessant action, and the
Introduction of a score of big musical
numbers. Songs are scattered through
s'The American Idea' with q lavish
hand. Muchis promised of ssSullivan,n
a topical song. Then there is stF-a-m-e,"
another hit Of the Mooney" type;
'sToo Long From Long Acre Square"
"They Always Follow Me" aud 'sMy
Garden That Blooms For You" are in
cluded in the song repertoire. The
piece is lavishly staged and costumed.
AS usual, Mr.. Cohan presents an origi-
nal character such as the public has
come to expect in each of his new pieces9
This time it is 'sThe Mysterious Mani
played by Hugh Mack, who dramatises
his own part in the action, and is
of s'Foxy Quiller,n ssThe
Lone Fisherman" and .stEvangeline. y
He is aided and abetted by "The N.Y.
sterious Girl" played by Lottie Burke.

graded stretch of sandy loan road n
quarter of a mile long and thirty feet

inches deep had formed on this road
and had caused almost q cessation OF
traffic. The road was first plowed to q
depth of four and one-half inches and
then thoroughly pulverized with har-
