Jimmy" cRoWL PASSES
Had Worked on Staunton News
papers for Nearly so Years

In the death of James Crowl,
deaf mute, more generally known as
Jimmy" Crowl, which occurred Mon
day morning at four o'clock at the
apartments of William D. Jones,
foreman at the V. S. D. B. shoe shops
with whom he roomed, Staunton wit
messed the passing of an old land
mark and, in his humble station,
gentleman, honored and respected
as such.
Though complaining since an
operation for gall stones, several
years ago, his death was sudden and
unexpected. 1t is attributed to heart
failure. AS late as Saturday he was
on the streets, his condition not caus-
ing uneasiness until Sunday. Early
Monday morning, he asked Mr.Jones
for a glass of water. Shortly after
this he died.
James Crowl was born in Harpers
Ferry in the year 1847, being, there
fore, Ga years old. In 1859 he came
to Staunton to enter the state insti-
tuition for the deaf, dumb, and blind,
from which he graduated shortly
after the war. He had not been
here many years when his father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Crowl, died within an hour of each
other during an epidemic of cholera
which swept Harpers Ferry.
Having learned the printers trade,
he began work at the office of the
Spectator and Vindicator, at the time
of Mr.. Richard Mauzy's ownership,
continuing with that paper-during
several administrations covering a
period of about thirty-nine years.
Following the publication of the
Spectator and the Dispatch and News
Jointly, he worked at this and other
offices up until two months ago when
he went to work in the glue room, at
the Putnam Organ factory.
Even to his acquaintance,
Jimmy" was never very communi-
cative. Mr.. Henry Lickliter, perhaps
his closest friend, knows of one ne
phew, Rev. w. H. Hartman, MethO-
dist preacher of Rochester, ILL.,, who
is said to be in comfortable circum-
stances and who, as late as Christ
mas, sent him monetary present.
Mr.. Lickliter has telegraphed Rev.
Hartman and an answer is expected
this morning. Mr.. Lickliter says
in Charlestown, w. Va. Mr.. Crowl
was unmarried

urday declared to the Senate COM

His Light Diet.

The actors sense of humor is al
ways uppermost. He will jest about
his hard luck, his Ill luck or almost
anything that offers an opportunity for
a joke. Generally, too. he has cour-

heart is heavy. A comedian, who was
known to be in desperate straits. was
invited to a social gathering one even
ing. When the poor actor arrived he
was seen to be thinly clad, although
the weather was bitter cold. He look
ed also as If he had not had any too
much nourishment for some time. The
hostess greeted him cordially.
81 am SO glad to see you," she said.
GLOW well you are looking"

Willemstad, Curacao, July 1O.-A
wireless dispatch from Buen Ayre Is
land announces that Gen Jose Antonio
Davila landed on the island secretly
Saturday night, having come from
Venezula.
Davila is one of the sixty-three men
who, led by Gen. Cipriano Castro
years ago, invaded the state of Tachria,
Venezula, from Colombian territory
He and Castro are close friends.
Later advices prove untrue Saturday s

Zulia, Venezula, had been killed by a
bomb explosion.
According to the best information
obtainable Castro, the deposed presi-
dent of Venezula, is now on the west
ern frontier of Venezula at the head of
thousand or more men engaged in
enlisting an army with which he pro-
poses to repeat his exploit of twelve
years ago when he overthrow the
government of Venezula and placed
himself in the presidency.
