ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 1, 1898. Deputy Sheriff Shirley of Fauquier county left here this morning, having in charge the negro, Jim Eskins, who is to be tried teday at Warrenton, Va. Eskins, 1t will be remembered, was brought to this city Wednesday night from Warrenton, to pre- vent his being lynched for an alleged at- tempted assault vpon the ten-year-oit daughter of Mr. Michael Flagler, a farmer residing near Bealton, in Fauquier county. Judge Charles M. White of the county court of Fauquier called a special grand jury yesterday for the purpose of acting on this case and quieting the citizens of the county, who were wild in their denun- ciation of Eskins, and who would probably have lynched him had he not been trans- ferred to Alexandria for safe-keeoing. Af- ter hearing the testimony of the child, her father and several other reputable witness- es, the grand jury found a true bill against Eskins, charging him with an attempted assault the night of the 20th of March. Judge White set the trial for this morning and assigned J. L. C. Keith and Edward 8. Turner of the Warrenton bar to defend the prisoner. Mr. Turner came to this city last night and had a consultation with The latter denied the charge in He states that the reason he left Mr. Flagler so suddenly was because the pay did not suit nim, and as he was a tramp, he ccucluded to get out. It fs not thought it will take long to disp of the trial. Suicide Positively Identified. The remains of Peter J.

The removal of the court house and jail of Alexandria county from the city to a point on Fort Myer Heights is now said to assured, The board of supervisors for xandria county yesterday floated $20,000 bonds, to be used for this purpose. A num- ber of bids were received for the bonus, and George K. Reilly, representing Rudolph Kleybolte & Co., ‘bankers of New York, bought the entire issue at 106. Proposals for the erection of the neces- sary buildings, in accordance with the plan already selected by the board of super- visors, have been advertised for, and they will be opened the morning of May 2. By the middle of May, it is hoped by the citi- zens of the county, the work will have been begun. Change in Officials. ‘There was quite a change in the political aspect of the government offices in this eity today. Mr. Joseph L. Crupper, who was recently appointed postmaster by President McKinley, took charge of the of- fice this morning, succeeding Mr. C. C. Car- lin. Mr. Crupper is cne of the most promi- nent republican politicians in this section of the state, and is a young man of good business ability. There is no doubt the of- fice unéer his administration wili prosper, as it has done under the administration of Mr. Cartin. Mr. Cruprer has appointed as his assist- ant Mr. Thomas Burroughs, who for twen- ty-five years prior co Mr. Carlin’s appoint- ment held ‘the office of assistant postmas- ter. It will be pleasing to the many friends of Mr. Burroughs to see his smiling face around the office again. He succeeds Capt. Sam Davis, who has made a highly efficient ard popular officer. Mr. Marshall L. King, recently appointed collector of the port, took charge of that office today, succeeding Mr. Thomas W. Robinson, Mr. King is a prominent young merchant and is very popular. He has-2p- pointed Mr. George Noiand as deputy. ———— Poultry Feathers the Style. Brom the New York Tribune. Here is come good news for bird lovers: Birds on hats have gone out-of fashion, and turkey and pheasant feathers are the style. - = Five years ago I determined to do what I. to stop the traffic in birds, and econ found that there was too much money made to put an end to it, but that I could help to turn it in the right lon. I-saw that the beautiful herS Of the poultry that would be killed. for food, could. take the place of those of our beautiful singing and nseet-eating birds. A ehort time ago I ught a hat that hed a bird on !t; indeed, I could not prevail upon the milliner to remove it, and after a great deal of sym- pathy and irdignant protesting against the slaughter of singing birds, I found, with the eld of a taxidermist, that Jt was a Cochin China chicken’s skin and feathers, ever wire and cotton. A feather dealer who has been in the business for years tells me that the whole- sale slaughter of the .herons of Florida ectld have been avoided if the birds had been plucked as they ar2*in India; it could be as easily done as vi eese, he said. I belong to the Audubon lety, and I hope that it will go on doing all in its power to make and enforce laws to prevent the slaughter of birds to gratify the whims of women. Testing Conl by X Ra Frem the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The method of testing coal by X rays is being employed by many manufacturers, who state that it makes a considerable dif- ference in their fuel bills. It is found that by turning the rays onto the coal they can tell how much of it will remain as ashes after it Is burned, and how much will es- cape as gas. This is manifestly of the first importance to all users of steam power. The lowest-priced coal is not necessarily the cheapest. The percentage of ash is one of the best indications of the steam-mak- ing qualities of coal. A coal which leaves a large amount of ash has, of course, a relatively small amount of combustible constituents, and vice versa. The shadow produced upon the fluoroscope by a piece of coal of a given size and thickness is appar- ently dependent for its relative density upon the amount of ash-producing material in the piece of coal.. A number of samples of uniform’ thickness of various kinds of coal having known percentages of ash are prepared. The dénsity of the shadow cast by these in the fiuoroscope is compared with that of the coal to be tested, and the quantity of ash per ton in the sample un- der consideration is immediately shown with considerable accuracy. a Lutch Keys for Women, From the Boston Herald. . Latch keys have ceased to be a male perquisite since the old-fashioned spinster has been replaced by the bachelor maid. The bachelor girl is nothing if not deter- mined, and so she has adopted one of the last remaining articles that a man could call his own. When the key came the pocket had to come with it, of course, and ncw it is cut in the back of the dress skirt very near the belt line and with a bit of flap over it to conceal the fact that a coat tail is missing. And thus it is that the freed woman goes on her way, conscious that she may at least enter her own doors at all soris of coveted and fascinating hours without arousing every one, from the butler to the aged grandparent who “‘dis- approves.”” When the pocket came the key chain had to follow in its wake, and, behold, from a button proudly sewn to the tailor girl's "weskit’ hangs the jeweler’s device, fer she has not been emancipated long enough to leave off sterling silver and take to plain nickel plate. When the bachelor girl went into business she was forced into seme cf the needs of a man, and some of his patented rights had to come to her, end so there came the keyring in the train of the key and chain; and there was an- for the smithy to turn out stic workmanship. e oftener heart-snaped wires of lid and wide. So it seems that so “new” that she can- around. Other designs are t tails go the door key, the mai!-box Key, the eseri- toire key and all the rest of the lot that -d to be always “among the missing.” And now the bachelor’ maid is free from Lots of <‘Progress.” ter for you—if as well.

From the Troy Tim: The German kaiser, who owns as many changes of raiment as Queen Elizabeth of blessed memory 1s credited with, has two pet aversions. He has an unconquerable dislike to the swallow-tailed coat, and he even in the foulest weather, to carry an umbrella. Dress coats a I’ anglais are thus passing out of German court life, the emperor's dislike to the garment hav- ing taken the form of a regulation ordgin- ing that wherever possible courtiers and guests shall wear the frock coats, other- wise the newly introduced court dress is & rigueur. The kaiser‘s wardrobes occupy a suite of five rooms in the old cast at Berlin. They are massive and of vak. In the middle of the room ts a large tabie for spreading out the uniforms.

He keeps about eighteen pairs of military gloves in use, which are cleaned and repaired from time to time, the glover receiving a small yearly sum for his ser- vices. Each pair is supposed to last for a certain time, and should the leather show any defect, it is returned to the unlucky glover with a peremptory demand for an explanation. When a suit is ordered, woe to the tailor should it not fit like a glove, though a try-on is never permitted. Direct- ly a suit has been taken off it is returned to the wardrobe, and there subjected to the closest scrutiny. The imperial orders ard decorations, which are kept safely lecked up in strong safes, are said to be werth 1,500,000 marks. eR SR The Vitality of 2 Wild Goose. Frem the Cincinnati Enquirer. Farmer H.

That goose be- came the wonder of the neighborhood and the study of scientists, the only conclusion reached deing that, wherever the wild bird jcame from, there it got the arrow, so unique in formation that it could be assign- ed to no tribe of Indians in the United States or any other known country.
