*) DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN : COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNtNG DECEMBER 30, 1*86, Miss Merriman Saw in a Dream Her Stolen Watch Hidden in an Apple Tree. ■arrlrd to the Mas Who Wns to Her on the Ita> Sho Was Horn—Dogs Whipped olid Hunter* Attacked liy Porcupines. New York, December 29.—Miss Irene Merriman, 18 years old, lives with her widowed aunt, Mrs. Carrie Bernan, in In land avenue, New Rochelle. Mrs. Bernan isa sister of ex-Recordor James M. Smith. On Thursday morning Miss iMorriman re ported to the police that she had been robbed of a gold watch and $27 in cash, and that burglars had been in the house and packed up a seal plush socque, a brown dress trimmed with brocade belonging to her, her aunt’s brown cloth dress and a shawl, all of which were left on the floor. After she had reported the robbery sho said to Captain Conkling that she had dreamed during the night where tho watch was, and had gone out and found it in the fork of an old apple tree, just where she dreamed it was. She said sho did not dream where the money was. Coukling decided to make no investigation. Yesterday a reporter saw Miss Merri- mmi. She said that at 12:30 o’clock at night sho was disturbed by the rattling of a newspaper in her room; but being sleepy sho turned over and went to sleep, and dreamed that the house was being robbed. She remembered that the robber in her dream w'as a good-looking, medium sized, fair-haired young man, with a blond moustache and splendid figure. He acted in the most gentle manner. She dreamed that he took a long stick, poked under tho bureau where the money and watch were kept, pushed them out and pressed them to his breast as he departed. Then she dreamed he went down stairs and packed up tho articles before described. She then had another scene in her dream, in which she saw the young man carefully hide the watch in the fork of an tinple tree in an orchnrd near the house. Then, she says, Bhe woke up and went to her aunt’s room and snid: ‘‘Aunt, the house is being robbed; come down with me.” Her aunt, she said, was timid, and so she went alone. She found everything as she saw it in her dream. Then she called up her nearest neighbor, George Sehirmer, by firing off her revolver, and he came in and witnessed the condition of tilings. She then went out and found the watch in the tree. The money was not found. She did not dream where it was. This is the third time that burglars have .been reported in this house. The last time was in August. It was then reported that the girl had been chloroformed and the house robbed of $40. Two weeks later the girl heard burglars again, and went to the window and fired offa revolver, which so frightened the robbers that they did not enter. A f’lglit With l’omi|ilni'H, Bushvidle. Pa., December 29.—Porcu pines, which have been but rarely seen in this region for ninny years, have suddenly appeared in large numbers. These animals are formidable and fierce, although small, and many valuble dogs have been killed and disabled in their nttacks. Coon hunters have had several encounters with them during the pnst two or three weeks. Ira Finley, of this place, had a very excit ing experience with a family of porcupines on Friday. He wns hunting foxes and came suddenly upon a porcupine lying lazily on a rock. Finley’s dog attacked the animal at once as it lay dozing in the sun, to all appearances a most peaceuble and harmless creature. At the first onslaught of tile dog, however, the porcupine brought its sharp quills into play, and the dog beat a busty retreat,with bis head filled with quills sunk deeply into the flesh. The dog ran yelping away and was seen no more. Finley took aim at the porcupine, which showed a strong inclina tion to assume the oireusive, but before lie fired throe more porcupines came out of the brush, and the four rushed fiercely toward the hunter. Finley shot, nnd killed one of tho animals, but the others pressed him so closely that lie was obliged to club his gun and light them in that wav. Bneking round and round in a circle in the brush, Finley munuged to keep the three infuriated little animals off of him, but they were so wary and active that they succeeded in avoiding his blows. He was afraid to turn nnd run, and as his efforts at fighting the porcupines were beginning to tire him out, he began shouting for help. Peter Meyers heard the shouts where lie was at work chopping in the woods, and he hurried to the spot with his ax. He killed one of the porcu pines, and the other two gave up the fight and disappeared in the brush. Finley was nearly exhausted, nnd but for the timely arrival of Meyers would have soon fared badly at the hands of the enraged and per sistent animals. On Saturday Meyers shot three .porcu pines in the same vicinity nnd saw three others. On Friday night two hunters mis took a porcupii e for a coon, and it killed their dog before they discovered what it was and shot it. A Itoinnlitic History. Louisville, Ky., December 29.—Mrs. Hanly, who died at Nicholasville a few days ago, had a romantic history. Her husband, Major Gratten Hanly, was the great grandson of Sir John Hanly, the earl of Landoff, in Ireland, w ho, during the rev olution there in 1798, was compelled to leave his home. Coming to this country he settled within half a mile of Nicholas ville. In another direction lived Harrison Daniel, Mrs. Hanly’s father. Major Grat ten Hanly wns born in 1821, and when he wns 8 years old lie was on a visit with his mother to the home of Harrison Daniel. On this very day Mrs. Hanly was born,and the two mothers pledged their children to each other. They grew up ns playmates and as children loved each othei. After wards Major Hanly moved to Mississippi, but came back in 1856 nnd married Alisa Fannie Daniel. Immediately upon their marriage they returned to Mississippi, where they remained eleven years. Major llanly served during the entire war. Mrs. Hanly was with him the whole time, and was present in every battle he was in, with one exception. Strange to say, in no battle in which Mrs. Hanly was with her husband was he wounded, but in the one on the line between Dalton and Atlanta, from which she was absent, he was badly wounded. Major Hanly was captain of a battery. Mrs. Hanly, while with her husband on the battlefield and in camp, busied herself in attending to the wants of the soldiers, nursing the sick and caring for the well. She so endeared her self to her husband’s comrades that there was nothing that any one of them would not do for her. Fear wns something that she knew nothing about, and many times she sat on the battlefield amid the roar of the cannon and musketry, as calmly as though in her own home. At the battle of Perryville, Ky., when General Brown was wounded, she brought him off the field in a carriage. K.l I tor I a I Minstrelsy.

Close to the village drinking fountain of Thenelle in the department of Aisne there is a little red cottage in which, since June 1,1883, Marguerite Boyenval has lain in a deep lethargic sleep. The cottage consists of two rooms. In one the family live; in the other, which is cold and damp, the sleeping girl is lying. A feeble light falls through the curtains of the only window looking upon the little garden. Like the pictures of pale saints in a Greek church, the figure of the young girl is set off ngainst the white bedclothes. Her eyes are closed. Does she dream ? Does she think? Her beautiful face is quite calm. Sometimes her mother opens the heavy eyes, at which the girl seems to become troubled in her sleep, and her cheeks be come slightly tinged with color. Mar guerite is dressed in an Indian costume. Her hands are cold as those of a corpse; she is very thin: her breathing in scarcely perceptible, and she is fed on nothing but peptone. During the three years that she lias been in this state of lethargy she has never been troubled by any indisposition, and sho does not seem to have grown a day older. A committee of special physi cians is just about to make a careful inves tigation of tho case.—Independence Beige. A MOST LIBERAL OFFER.

Mrs. Sumpkin’s oldest boy had gone west, and a friend of the family was mak ing some inquiries about him. “I under stand John is an attorney,” he said. “Yes, and he’s got lots of business,” she an swered, with a mother’s pride. “Is he a criminal lawyer?” A shadow fell upon the good old lady’s face. ‘ ‘,No, not yet,” she said. “Leastways he hain’t told me.

I got a new view of my calling once when tlie city editor sent me after something or other on tho east side of the town. I found my mail and approached him with “Are you Mr. Feldsticker?” “Yah,” he replied. “ I am a reporter of the Sun ” said I. I’ve been trying ever since to think what he meant by his reply. Perhaps ho did not understand me—or else didn’t know what ho was saying. At any rate, when I said I was a reporter of the Sun, he replied, in a fatherly tone, full of kindly sympathy : “So?
