RalehTDecember 18.- The Federal
court in session here, is making things
very lively for thtf .moonshiners; who
constitute the bulk of the defendants.
Very few of them aft missing convic
tion. They are findingtheu crime one
which meets with even severer punish
ment than that formerly inflicted. ;y
Judge Purnell had a letter today from
his daughter, whois in Richmond with
his' wife, who is in St. Luke's hospital.
giving the news that Mrs. . Purnell was
doing very well.
The workmen who made an examina
tion of the portico of the agricultural
building found that it was so badly de
cayed that it will have to be rebuilt to
aconsiderable extent. -This . calls at
tention to the fact that there is quite a
general comment that the front of this
building ought to be entirely modelled
and bo made more attractive and wor
.This morning a very curious thing
happened at the market It was found
that a cat was on a roof about fifty
feet from the ground and had been
there three days. As the clerk of the
market was standing at the front the
cat suddenly leaped from the roof and
struck an iron grating beside him. It
did not appear to injure the animal at
all which ran off. He caught it . and
gave it food, it appearing to be about
half famished.
"3e Gracious to Thy Servant.
Sleenlno." s
' The last loving rites were paid to all
that was mortal of Mrs. N. O. Sey
mour, wife of the late Judge Augustus
S. Seymour, yesterday, the funeral ser
vices being conducted by Rev. H. S.
Biadshaw, in the Presbyterian church,
of which denomination the deceased
was a devout and valued member,
From the church the loving friends
followed' the remains to Cedar Grove
Cemetery, where interment was made.
The death of Mrs. Seymour was one
which deeply touched this community
for she was a woman that made not
merely friends, but by her graciousness
bound to her in all sincerity those
with whom she come in contact, and
in New Bern, this meant a great num
ber. It was not the mere outward
Christianity of Mrs. Seymour which
was so impressive, but it was tbe sim
plicity and sweetness of her manner,
her impartial sharing of her goodness
and love with those with whom she had
assxiations, her freedom from all dis
play, at the same a liberality of purje
and soul that won love and esteem. It
was a life which was a sweet benedic
tion, and one which even though the
body has passed away, tbe spirit con
tinues to bless those who remain and
knew her.

high; and low revere the .cobra as they
did it thousand years &gt, and it la con
sidered n heinous crime to injure the
reptile or neglect its interests.
In the district of Travancore alone
there are between 15,000 and JSO.OdO
shrines', dedicated exclusively to tne
Worship of snnkea. which possess ex
tensive ands valuable properties for
their maintenance "and for tbe cost Of
the ceremonies which the keepers bare
to perform lepm time to time.
In these sbriues the Hindoos set down
fantastic idols of serpents on n stone
base, and the shrine is protected' by a
mud wall. Householders to assure thwlr
welfare should mnke s otferlngs of
dough, milk and cooked rice to the ser
pertine habitues of the shrine and
place lights and chant hymns In order
to he assured ot their favor. .
Every monilns the kins und iiuecn of
the serpent lire biitlied, and fruit mid
milk are offered to them, to lie followed
at noon by cooked riep and fried grain.
On certain days tlie idols In grove and
household temple are carried in pro
cession to the house, where prupltia.
tnry offerings are made. The presiding
functionary must be tire oldest female
meinber of the family, who has to prac
tice celibacy from tne.uay sue attains
tbe position.
At famous.snake festivals at Travan
core pious folk gather from all parts
to Join In the worship, bringing offer
ings of pold, silver, grain, pepper.
spices, oil, sandalwood, silk and other
things. The cost of the festivals Is de
frayed by the revenues of the paddy
fields and gardens attached to the
shrines. It Is believed that unless the
ceremonies are conducted with rever
ence the largest C3bras of the grove
will come out nnd show ttemselves to
tbe members of the house. The mv
tlyes also believe thaf snake bites In
the neighborhood of theso shrines nev.
er prove fatal. Be that as It may.
deaths from snake bites are very rare,
though many groves contain as many
as thirty cobras and the shrines In Tra
vancore number between fifteen and
twenty thousand. -The
snakes of India are rarely ng
gressive, but generally keep to them
selves, and, being so kindly treated nnd
benevolently attended. It Is not aston
Iphlng that they become docile nnd
harmless. All over Travancore the peo
ple wbeu they see a snake approaching
say. "The gd Is coming," and make
way for the divinity. Children play
fenrlcsdy nboirt the groves while their
serpentine friends arc gliding about or
basking lu the sun and have uever been
known to bo harmed. When the groves
become overrun with serpents the sur
plus population Is removed and sent to
other shrines, certain pious Brnhmam

STOLE MONEY AND FLED
But Thief Captured After Rids In Buggy And
On Train to Escape.
A young -white boy named Ernest
Jones, aged about 18 years, had a run
with the money he had stolen yester
day but was captured on the A. & N.
shoofly train last night between here
and Kinston, and last night was held in
Kinston jail.
The story goes that Jones stole a
bunch of money, amount not definitely
known from the captain of a boat a
this port. Upon getting the money
the boy took a buggy and drove f,o
Tuscarora, on the A. gi N. C. and
caught the shoofly last night on its up
trip.
The captain of boat, from whom the
money was stolen seemed to guess
what direction the boy was going, and
took the train here, last night, hiding
in the baggage car. As the train
reached Tuscarora, the captain looked
out, saw Jones and recognized him as
tie got on the train. With the assist
ance of Capt. Hancock of the A. & N
C, Jones was taken, and Kinston ad
vised to have an officer to meet the
train. Some of the money was on the
floor of the car under the boy's feet,
and at Kinston, about $50 was taken
from his person.
Jones is said to come from Washing
