DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER ‘IS, 1886. IT WAS A SINISTER GLEAM. -■Smipected fur Thirty Y nun of a Murder Sot Corn- mi t toil—'f ho Trouble Ills Gui-nt’a Imuirlnutlon t oused u CohleNklll Hotel-Keoiicr, Cobleskill. N. Y.. October 25.—In 1850, -when Cobles kill was but a hamlet of 300 or • 400 inhabitants, when the stage coaches ma e their daily trips from B nghamton to Albany, before the advent of the Albany and Susquehanna railroad, one of the two country taverns in this place was kept by Samuel Beckman, now a resident of Canajoharie, in this state. It was then called the Union Hotel. The landlord was, as was required in those days, a genial host, who would meet his customers as they drove up to the door and put out their horses him self in the absence of the hostler. About the middle of September, 185(1, just ns the sun was reclining, there appeared before the Union hotel a man mounted upon a dark bay horse, about six years old. Instead of a saddle the stranger used a sheepskin, and in place of a bridle and martingale only a common headstall and “blinders.” The stranger, who appeared to be an Irishman, about 28 or 30 years of age, dis mounted. The horse was led into the barn and the traveler was furnished with supper. No question was asked as to his business or destination—for in those days no hotel registers were kept. However, he gave his name as Martin Malony and told Mr. Beekman that he was on his way to the western part of the state to seek a place to settle down; that he had lost his wife and had lett two children, a boy and girl, residing with his sister in Brooklyn. But he failed to state where he himself came from. Maloney seemed to be well provided with funds, and it was remarked to him at the time that he would be much better off should he ride with a wagon instead of horseback. After remaining two days and nights at Beek man Hotel, Maloney concluded to buy an old wagon and harness of Beekman and continue his journey. His bargnin was made, the wagon and harness paid for and several Cobleskillians were at the barn on the Sunday morning to seethe “Mick,” as they called him “off.” Just before being ready for departure Maloney and Beekman went into the hotel while the villagers awaited their return. Ten, fifteen and twenty minutes elapsed, and the by standers were becoming impatient when Beckman, returning with flushed face and seemingly excited, declared that when Malony and he entered the house the former excused himself for a moment, went out of the front door and did not come back. Becoming somewhat puzzled at his absence, Beckman had sought the barn to see if Malony had not returned there. No stone was left unturned to dis cover the whereabouts of the missing Irish man, but all efforts were futile. Then there were whisperings and finally mutter- ings against Landlord Sam Beckman. Shortly after the disappearance of Malony, Sam built an ice-house which reached to the bottom of his cellar, and the gossips locate the corpse at the bottom thereof; others allege that they saw a wagon driving hurriedly away from Sam’s barn about 11 o’clock on the night of the Irishman’s mysterious disap pearance, and some of the more supersti tious even went so far as to say that they heard shouts and groans in the attic of his hotel, believing that Sam had locked his guest up stairs in order to secure the money which he was supposed to possess. Thus matters progressed; the stranger did not appear, his horse being taken care -of by Bechman until the next spring. At this time he had been openly accused •of the murder of Maloney by a man named Faulkuor. Beekman had Faulknor arrested for slander, and succeeded in •obtaining a judgment of $400 against him. About ten days ago a man, about 60 years ■of age, robust in appearance, his hair tinged with gray, with elastic step and •carrying a gold-headed cane, alighted from a train at tne station. He was surprised that this was really Cobles HU. He began to ask questions, and finally tola James N. Borst that he was the missing man. He • said that when he arrived in Cobleskill, his whole worldly possessions being his horse and #917 in money, $900 of which he car ried in his belt, that he was looking up a house whereat to settle with his children, but when it came to buying the wagon and harness he would be obliged to resort to his belt for money and would then expose his possessions. Beckman saw the belt, and Maloney im agined he saw a sinster gleam in Beekman’s eye. He was for a moment terrorized and made an excuse to go out of the front door. His brain was on fire with probable rob ery gnd possible death, and he took a bee-line for Lawyersville, reas oning to himself that it were better to lose his horse than his life. He kept the road until he reached Canajoharie, from which he took the cars and did not stop until he reached St. Louis. From there he wrote for his family, and they came on. He got into mining business and had be come possessed of a goodly fortune. Mr. Maloney is now visiting in Brooklyn, and on his return West will stop over at Cana- jobarie and call on the man who has been so much wronged by his strange conduct. T ho Jones County Cnlf Case. Minneapolis Journal. The famous Jones county calf case has just been disposed of by the supreme court of Iowa. This is one of the most remark able cases on the records of American courts, and furnishes a striking illustration of what an expensive luxury a little satis faction obtained in legal form may prove to be. Twelve years ago a Green county larmer went to Jones county and bought some calves of a man named Johnson. They were probably stolen, but Johnson claimed to nave bought them from a third party. Johnson was prosecuted by the Anti-Horse Thief Association, but was ac quitted. He sued for $10,000 damages, and the case has been tried five times, and each time except one, he has received a verdict for from $3000 to $7500, which was always set aside. He appealed to the supreme court, and the verdict has been reversed, giving him no damages. The court costs are now $3300, while the other expenses on both sides amount to at least $20,000, and several persons have been ruined by the expenses of t ie case. The value of the calves was $50. WITH A NEEDLE. How It Is Possible, with Practice, to Foretell Weather Probabilities. From the Rochester Democrat. The magnetic needle is quite as sure an indicator of the condition ot the sun as storms or telescopic observations. There should be observers throughout the cou n try. They will apear in time. They will find it the most interesting study they ever entered upon. We would advise all to pro vide themselves with a large magnetic needle. If observers do not care to obtain anything elaborate, an old file that is not too heavy, say fourteen inches long, may be employed. The cutting portion may be ground off if it can be done conveniently. The pointed end for at taching to the handle may be broken oil up to the point where the cutting portion begins. This file should be thoroughly magnetized and suspended in a box turned on its side, the open side being covered with a glass, although this is not neces sary. A tube of brass or a long wooden box, say 12 or 14 inches long, can be fas tened on the top of the box over the cen ter of motion of the needle and through this the thread for suspending or balancing the needle should run. Loosely twisted silk is best, as there is little torsion. The string is made quite long to avoid torsion. The point of suspension should nearly cor respond with the middle of the file. The box with the needle inclosed should be placed where it is not subject tojarring, Ifan iron rod is placed in a perpendicular position to the right or left of one of the poles of the needle the needle may re- ®P°nd more readily to the earth currents. The rod of soft iron has polarity, acted upon by the earth currents, and becomes an electric magnet. When the earth cur rents are strong it attracts the pole of the needle strongly, and when the current falls releases it. The rod is not necessary, but its ordinary attraction is a constant force, so only the changes in the earth currents can change its attraction. Iron in the vicinity of the needle should not lie flip...rood. and iron articles should not lie carried near it. A small glass mirror, say a half inch in diam eter, may be cemented upon the centre of the flat needle so motion may be detected by the shifting of the image of a distant object reflected from the mirror to the eye. It will be interesting to watch the behavior of a heavy needle as above de scribed before and during an advancing storm. Great disturbance may be seen in the needle for several days before a storm approaches the place of observation. There will be regular motions of the needles at sunrise, at the time the sun crosses the magnetic meridian and at sunset. Observation will show what are usual and unusual motions if proper pre cautions are taken. Until the “habits” of the needle are observed for some time there is danger of false alarms. HOPING FOR AN EXPLANATION. Clorolaml’s Opponent. May Use the Itlclnuouil K|iImmIc Aynliist Him. Richmond, October 20.—Many people here are hoping that something authorita tive may come from the president or from Mrs. Cleveland explaining her failure to accompany the president to Richmond. There is no bitter feeling here, for the president made an excellent impression, and won over even the few who were op posed to him among the democrats. But at the same time there is a fear that the Miss Davis episode will lie used by his ene mies against him in the south. A well- known Georgian, who was in this city, and met the president for the first time, said this evening: “If Mrs. Cleveland would write a little note to Mrs. Lee, stating the facts of the case, it would be worth many thousand votes to the democrats in the south this fall. 1 scout the idea that Jefferson Davis’ daughter had anything to do with the change of programme, but the contrary reason has been so assiduously circulated by the political opponents of the president that it will be hard to make a good many of the more ignorant people believe other wise.” A statement has been published in some of tbe northern papers, emanating from Washington, to the effect that the presi dent changed the plan himself because he was unwilling to attend a second formal reception where the masses would not be expected—that is, at the governor’s man sion. So far as this reception is concerned this is an error. Gov. Lee expected the public to call on Mrs. Cleveland and the ladies of her party at his mansion. This reception was proposed especially for Mrs. Cleveland’s benefit and for the benfit of the ladies who ac companied her. Gov. Lee, last winter, inaugurated a series of monthly receptions from Sto 12 o’clock at night, to which the public was invited, and these re ceptions were crowded with all classes. He is very democratic in this respect. Miss Winnie Davis, so far as the most diligent inquiry can elicit, has never opened her lips in regard to the non-at- teudance of Mrs. Cleveland.

Harrisburg, Pa., Ootober 27.—A singu lar murder ease, bearing important feat ures, will be tried in the York county court this week. Almost fifteen years ago Mrs. MeGallagher married a prosperous farmer residing a few miles from York. Two years later a little boy was born to them, and although apparently a very healthy child, it lived hut a few weeks. After its death Mrs. MeGallagher retired from so ciety and became a confirmed recluse. From a vivacious, merry, light hearted disposition she grew melancholy and gloomy. One day, nearly twelve months after the death of her child, she made a confession that she had murdered it by strangling it with a cord. The confes sion created a profound sensation. She was promptly arrested on a charge of mur der, and the remains of the child were dis interred and examined by a large number of physicians and officials, but decomposi tion had gone so far that it was impossible to prove the truth of the woman’s state ment. THE WOMAN DECLARED INSANE. When she was brought into court her at torney made the plea of insanity and asked for the appointment of a commission to pass npon tier mental condition. The trial was postponed and the commission ap pointed. It made a report that the woman was undoubtedly insane. Accordingly, by an order of court, she was taken to the state lunatic hospital at Harrisburg. A few weeks ago, while on a visit to that institution, Dr. Ourt became impressed with the belief that the woman was sane. He made a thorough investigation and was convinced that, if not perfectly sane, she was no longer a subject for hospital care and treatment. He immediately or dered her to lie discharged from.the insane asylum and removed to the jail of York county. The laws of the state declare that when' a person accused of crime is found insane and placed in an asylum, upon re covering sanity to such a degree as not to require hospital care or treatment he or she shall be removed to the jail of the county in which the crime was committed and placed on trial. OPPOSITION SUDDENLY REMOVED. When Dr. Ourt ordered Mrs. MeGal- lagher’s removal to the jail an unexpected obstacle arose ill the opposition of Dr. Gerhardt, superintendent of the Harris burg asylum. He positively refused to sign tlie necessary certificate that Mrs. MeGallagher was sane, or at least did not require , hospital care or treatment. He placed his opinion in direct opposition to that of tiie state commissioner of lunacy, which positively declared her sane. Alter considerable circumlocution, and by methods which Dr. Ourt will not divulge until after the woman is tried. Dr. Gerhardt did sign the certificate of sanity, and ten days ago Mrs. MeGallagher was discharged from the hospital. Knlllng Mills Burned. Taunton, Mass., October 27.—The old rolling mill of the Old Colony Iron Works at East Taunton was burned early this morning, causing a loss of $150,000, par tially covered by insurance. The building, which was 410 by llO.feet, contained a roll ing mill, machine shop and nail factory, the latter contained thirty machines, and furnishing employment for about fifty hands. The fire was discovered in the nail factory. Its origin is unknown, but it is thoug ht to hav e been the work of an in cendiary. The little s and Alexander Neil, M. D., prof .ssor of surgery in the Columbus Medical Col lege, and president of the Academy of Medicine, a man widely known, Rev. W. P.

Wilson, formerly of Cincinnati, who is | now associated with me.” . “Would you mind letting our readers | into the secret of your methods? ” “Well, young man. you surely have a I good bit of assurance to ask a man to give , iiis business away to the public, but I won’t I wholly disappoint you. 1 lmvc treated | over 20,009 patients. In common with I many eminent physicians, I, for years, made a close study of the effects of the habits on the system and the organs which they most severely attack. Dr. Hail, Dr. i NeilnndMr. Wilson, whom I have mon- I tioned, nnd hundreds of others, equally ns j expert, made many similar experiments on their own behalf. We each found that these drugs worked most destructively in the kidneys and liver; in fact, finally dc- | stroyed them. It was then apparent that no cure could be effected until those or- ! gans could he restored to health. We re- I oently exhausted the entire range of medi cal science, experimenting with all known remedies for theso organs, and <s the result of these close investigations we all substan tially agreed, though following different lines of inquiry, that the most reliable, scientific preparation, wns Warner’s safe cure. This was the second point in the discovery. 'Die third was our own private form of treatment, which, of course, we do not divulge to the public. Every ease that we have treated first with Warner’s safe cure, then with our own private treat ment, and followed upagain with Warner’s safe cure for n fey weeks, has been suc cessful. These habits can’t be cured with out using it, because the habit is nourished and sustained in the liver and kidneys. The habit can be kept up in moderation, however, if free use bo also made, at the same time, of that great remedy.” “Yes, it is a world famed and justly cel ebrated specific! Like many other physi cians, I used to deride the claims made for it, but I know now for a fact that it is the world’s greatest blessing, having sovereign power over hitherto incurable diseases of tbe kidneys and liver, and when I have said that, young man, I have said nearly everything, for most diseases originate in, or are aggravated by, a depraved condi tion of the kidneys.” “People do not realize this, because, sin gular as it may seem, the kidneys may be in a very advanced stage of decomposition, and y'-t owing to the fact that there are but few nerves of sensation in them the subject will not experience much pain therein. On this account thous ands of people die every year of kikney disease unknowingly. They have so-called disorders of the head, of the heart and lungs and stomach, and treat them in vain, for the real cause of their misery is deranged kidneys, and if they were restored to health the other disorders would soon disappear.” Dr. Stephens’ experience, that can bo confirmed by many thousands whom he has treated, adds only more emphasis to the experience of many hundreds of thou sands all over the world, that the remedy he refers to is without any doubt the most beneficent discovery ever given to human ity.
