DAILY ENQUIRER - 8IIN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 16, 1886. A SWEEPING DECISION. Snndnr Oh»*rranc» In the Hay Hist,—X Snpmni- Court Kulinir Th»t Will Close Ktery IluslMess PUre In the State on the l.oril'H liny. Boston, November 14.—The full bench of the Supreme judicial court yesterday af- ternoonsent down an opinion which will be found to be of the greatest importance to all of those persons who are engaged in business which is carried on on the Lord’s day. The decision of the court wns given in the case of the Commonwealth vs. Frank Devtra, the defendant, who is a barber at the Bay State house, Worcester, being charged with keeping his shop open on the Lord’s day “for the purposes of do ing business therein, namely, for cutting hair and shaving benrds, the same not being works of necessity or charity.” At the trial Judge Blodgett ruled that, there being no dispute about the facts, the question whether the acts done by the de fendant were works of necessity or charity was a question of law, und instructed the jury that if the defendant kept open his shop for the purposes mentioned in the complaint, namely, to cut hair and shave beards for all such persons as might make application thereforj the defendant should be convicted. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the defendant alloged excep tions, which are now overruled by the full court. The result of the decision seems to be that all shops, stores, bakeries, livery sta bles and any place of business kept open on Sundays is done so in violation of the statutes. The opinion, which is by Judge Gardner, is as follows: The laws of the Massachusetts colony prohibit both the transaction of any business and the indul gence in diversions on the Lord’s day. By the province laws of 1692-3, ch. 22, the jus tice of the peace, constables and tything men, were to take effectual care and en deavor to restrain all persons from keep ing open their shops or following their secular creations and recreations in the evening preceding the Lord’s day, or on any part of said day or evening. The act made no reference to works of necessity or ■charity, as limiting the prohibit.on of the statute. In the province laws of 1760-1. chapter 20, the several aots then in force relating to the observances of the Lord’s Day were repealed, and more effectual provision was made for the due observance of the day. Section 2 enacted that no person whatever shall keep open their shops, warehouses or work houses, nor shall upon the land or water do or exercise any labor, business or work of their ordinary calling, nor any sport, game, play or recreation on the Lord’s Day or any part thereof, works of necessity and charity only excepted, upon pain, etc. Then follows quotations from the stat utes, which show that the law has re mained practically unchanged. The decis ion closes with the following clauses: Keeping open a shop or work-house on the Lora’s day, for the purpose of doing business with the public indiscriminately, is an offense in itself. We are not called upon to pass upon the question whether it is a work of necessity to cut hair and shave beards on the Lord’s day. This question does not arise in the pres ent case. We construe the statute to mean that the law prohibits the keeping open of a shop, warehouse or work-house for the purpose of doing business therein on the Lord’s day, and that it is immaterial what that business may be. A WONDERFUL ELECTRIC PIT. Hundreds of Cum, of Rheumatism Cured at a Re cently Discovered Spot Neur Sharon, tis. Sharon, Ga,. November 12.—A wonder ful electric pit, recently discovered three miles from this place, is effecting hundreds of enres from rheumatism. A farmer named Hillman was prospecting for gold. In a little bend of Harden’s creek, where the bank rises abruptly, Mr. Hillman observed some strange discoloration of the Boil. He began digging, and Anally desisted when he could discover no metallic deposit. A negro who was aiding Hillman had long been afflicted with rheumatism. He noticed that, whenever he handled the •oozy clay in the pit, the muscles of his hands relaxed, permitting him to use them with all natural ease. When Hillman abandoned the pit, disappointed in his search for gold, his employe loft it sur prised at his freedom from the rheuma tism of years. The story soon spread, and people began making Sunday visits to 'the strange spot. Rheumatics resorted thereto, and began to confirm the experience of Hillman’s ser vant. Mr. J. P. Moore, a well-to-do farm er, who for years had been unable to use his hands, after burying them twice in the soft mud of the pit found them fully re stored to usefulness. A well known white lady from Warren county, who was badly drawn up, visited the pit and walked away, declaring herself cured. Charles Callaway, colored, who for ten years walked on crutches, after one visit to the spot, left his crutches behind him and walked home. . The most wonderful cure related is that of a colored house servant of Gen. Heard. The woman was a perfect wreck from rheumatism. A year ago she went to bed, and since has had to be waited upon like a child. When the virtues of the pit were first mooted her friends concluded to try it. The woman was carried on her bed to the spot, where she was rubbed over with the mud twice. The result was that the wo man who had thus been carried to the spot took up her bed and walked home. The spot is in a dense thicket, rendered almost impenetrable by laurel growth. Hundreds of people are resorting thither as a matter of curiosity. The water flows in sufficiently to keep the clay in a waxy condition. By applying this clay to the parts afflicted it wields some kind or in fluence which offers relief. The only the ory advanced is that tiie mud must be charged with electricity sufficient to effect the cures mentioned. ATTACKED BY MONKEYS. Two Fierce Unites Lacerate a Keeper In a Shocking manner. Providence, R. I., November 14. — Among the animals at Roger Williams park ace a number of monkeys. Among th<? monkeys is one big fellow bearing tne name of Ben Butler. It has also a female companion larger than the average ol lull- grown monkeys. The keeper is Thomas Murphy, about 45 years old. He is a man who would be able to make a hard ngln.. When cleaning the monkey cages Murphy was attacked by Bexi Butler and his mate, and was very roughly handled. In tact, it is remarkable that in the condi tion in which he escaped from tbe cage he was able to esctyie at all. Jt was usual to secure Ben Butler with several other monkeys when the cage was entered. This particular animal had more than once manifested a savage and vicious instinct. The keeper went to the cage about lu o’clock, but for some reason Ben and his companions were not secured. The work of cleaning out went on for fully an hour, and was almost done when Ben began to act badly. Tbe animal at length threw himself upon Murphy, and so fierce was the attack the keeper was hurled to tne floor of the cage. Then began the terrible contest. Ben used teeth and paws witn the wildness of a tiger, and in a short time was joined by his mate. Together they fought a powerful battle. The keeper was covered with blood. _ It was several minutes before he couid get to tne cage door and escape, but he at last suc ceeded in leaving tne fierce brutes behiua the bars, Murphy was frightfully lacer- ated. He was immediately taken to the Rhode Island hospital by Superintendent Hathaway. Here an examination showed that the entire upper purt of his body was bitten, scratched and torn. His cheek was nearly. torn off. Sixteen stitches- wore taken in It. There was a large hole in the fleshy part of the left breastfed four more stitches were taken there. His arms and hands also required seven stitches. The unfortunate man was etherized, to take him out of pain, while his injuries were dressed. slpi-lts Mnili< tn Onler, T >vo gentlemen of Bay City, Mich., went to a spiritualistic seance and agreed to pay $2 each if allowed to converse with depart ed friends whom they could recognize. One called for the spirit of his sister Nelly, and it came and spoke to him. The other asked for his uncle John, and was aston ished at hearing his relative’s voice in the darkened room. The first man never had a sister and the other man’s uncle was not dead. Niiporlnr to Aii.vllilny. A prominent business man in Wilming ton. Del., in speaking of a cure of cancer on himself, writes to the Morning News of that city: I can say further that my case is not an isolated one. A lady, a customer of mine, was suffering from a cancerous affection of the nose. She had spent a groat deal of money and time running to Philadelphia- to consult the best physicians there, but could get but little or no relief. About a year ago I told her of my case, and in duced her to try the S. S. 8. remedy. She did so, and in a ,ew weeks was much bet ter. She had several operations perform ed, and was disposed to hold on to her old treatment as well as the new, but Anally she threw all aside but the S. S. S., and in two months from that time was thoroughly cured. Another lady suffering from an abscess on her arm had been doctoring for a long time in this city, Chester aria Philadelphia, but could not get any relief, apparently. She had fallen away to a mere shadow of her former self, and could scarcely eat or sleep. She commenced to take the S. S. S. medicine, upon the advice of friends and myself, but was so ) educed in flesh that she had n little stomach trouble at first. She persisted, however, and after the third bottle she declared it had done her more good than anything else she had over tried. I now understand that she is entirely well, and is loud in her praise of S. S. S. I have several other cases in mind, but am not at liberty to speak of them. I be lieve the Swift Specific Co.’s blood medi cine, known as S. S. S., is superior to any thing of the kind known in the market, and can cheerfully recommend it to any one suffering from diseases of the skin or blood. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
