DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 1885. THE WOMAN IN BLACK. A (furor ('hui'Hftrr Th»t ir Crutilii* ■ SpiumUon hi Nematon. Scranton, Penn., November 10.—For more than a week timid and superstitious persons throughout the city have been kept in a constant state of trepidation by the appearance in various places and at unseasonable hours of an uncanny figure that is now quite generally spoken of ns “•The Woman in Slack.” The weird visi tor tirst made her appearance in the Pine Brook portion of the citv, and was seen by two young women who were on their ■way home from a Saturday night "hop.” At a short distance from their homes, where the Btreet is spanned by the Dela ware and Hudson Canal Company’s track, the young women were stopped by the woman in black, who said nothing, but assumed a'menacing attitude toward them. The girls were terrified and start ed to run, but the woman in black over took one of them and hugged her until she -almost fainted. The other girl returned with, help just in time, and the spectre then disappeared like a Hash. Since then the woman in black has made her appear ance in various parts of the city—mostly in the outskirts and in the early hours of evening. Some of those who have seen her declare that she fired at them, and this having been reported to the police they are keeping a sharp lookout for the nocturnal disturber. A few evenings ago a workman em ployed near the Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company’s blast furnaces ran up to a group of his fellow-workmen and reported to them with bated breath and bulging eyes that he had just seen the woman in black, and that she was at that moment hiding in a lumber pile a Bhort way from the bank of Roaring brook. Immediately there was a rush in that direction, and although it was rather dark several declared that they saw a female figure dressed in black emerging from the lumber pile and running toward the river. Thinking they would be able to •capture it, some of the men followed in close pursuit, but when they were near the river bank the woman iu black sprang over a precipice and disappeared in the cave of an abandoned mine. Then lamps were procured, and some of the men ventured mto the cave and made diligent search, but could not find anybody hiding there. While this exciting chase was going on a large crowd of persons assembled on the bridge which crosses Roaring Brook at this point, and the pursuers of the woman in black were urged not to desist until they had hunted down their game. j when I knocked at the door some impa- ! I tienoe in the sonorous invitation to come j 1 m. I went in, however, to find Mr. Baker , correcting page proofs of his book and ! deeply absorbed in his work. | "He met me with the inquiry, ‘ Well, , sir, what time is it?’ I explained that it was about 10 o’clock. In great surprise he asked me if I meant 10 o’clock at night, and when I told him that I did he looked intently at me for a minute and then sa d in his slow, impressive wav that lie had been sitting at. that table ever since 10 o'clock in the morning. The room was dark a id he had lit the gas and had not noticed t.io p.losing of time. So absorbed j j was he m his work that the twelve hours ! were to him as two. He thanked me for coming in on him, expressing the opinion ■ I that if I iiad not interrupted him he would I have probably worked oil all night. “On one occasion, after his rcLuru from 1 South America, a gentleman of some pre- j i tensions in literature complimented Mr. Baker on his work on ‘Montesquieu.’ The I book, in fact, had more of Jehu linker in ! it than of Montesquieu, and it is really a very profound work. Mr. Baker listened to the commendation of his friends very I quietly, remarking at the close that he supposed that in writing t hat hook he had t exercised less influence in this country than it he had written a circus poster or 1 any kind of showbill. “One occasion while in his office at .Belleville a solicitor for a St. Louis paper i came in to see him, and asked him to sub- ' scribe for his journal. The paper was not a favorite one with Mr. Baker, but be lis tened attentively to what the man had to say, then he broke out in this way: ‘I will subscribe for your paper, sir; I will subscribe upon one condition. I. you will go out into the yard and take yourself by your boot-straps, or by the iseat of your trousers, and lift yourself up over the top of the court house aud come down on the other side, come in to me, present your book, and I will subscribe wit hout a word. On no other conditions will I take your paper, sir.’ ” WILL CARLISLE RESIGN? Anil If Hs Dors. Will That End the hraiiroiurnt! by tt whose queer antics have produced some- like a panic in some portions of the efie ” thing li city. It is believed by some that the woman in black is a crazy individual at large, who is taking this method of indulging a wild fancy, while the more superstitious are of opinion that it is a veritable ghost. There are others yet who suppose that the "woman in black” is some evil-minded man who is masquerading in female attire for the purpose of frightening timid persons. Home men whose friends have been frightened by the spectre are looking for the woman in black with re volvers, and will not hesitate to shoot in •case they see anything like the apparition that has been described to them. A mis chievous young man named Farber tried to frighton a few of his friends in an alley in the Hyde Park portion of tue city the other night by personating the worn an m black, but he was promptly arrested by the police and held to bail for appearance at court. He confessed that it was his first appearance in the character, but he is rather fortunate that the police were first to find him or he might have been the principal character in a funeral. The woman in black was seen again on Sunday night near the silk mill by a num ber of girls, why were chased for some ■distance by her. Whether the figure be a myth or a reality, it has caused a genuine sensation throughout the city and there are hundreds of persons who fear to ven ture out of their homes after dark lest they should meet tie woman in black. Proprietary Meiticlnas. A visit to Dr. Green’s laboratory at Woodbury, N. J., has considerably changed •our views, and especially our prejudices in regard to what are generally known as "Standard Patent Medicines.” Of course we are getting to that age in life when we are forced to conclude Life itself is a hum bug, and naturally distrust anything that has not withstood long and tried experi ences. Being a physician 1 had the curi osity to know how such a sale of two medi cal preparations could be sustained for so many years. The perfect system upon which the business is conducted, and the pharmaceutical arrangements for the manufacture of the two recipes with which we were made acquainted, are sufficiently convincing to us that the August Flower. for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaints, and Boschee’s German Syrup for Throat and Lung Troubles were, for the com plaints they are recommended, most excel lent remedies, and only regret that in much of our practice, medical ethics prevent us from prescribing them without making the formulas public. When we were shown the great quantity of voluntary let ters having been forwarded Dr. Green, from all parts of the country, and from all • classes of people, lawyers, ministers and doctors, (riving a description of their ail ments, testimonials of their cures, etc., I feel like endorsing Dr. Green’s suggestion that the government accept such valuable formulas, and license them for general use by giving protection to the inventor same as patents generally.—Copied from N. Y. Druggists’ Circu ar of Oct., 1H8K. JEHU BAKER. Nturim A limit 111, 1 Oilil bruins IVlinls to Sun 1 Mr. Morrison in ('oiiicri-m. 1st. Louis Suyings. “This Jehu Baker,” said an old cam paigner on Friday, "is an extraordinary man and something of a character. He is well known as a scholarly man, industri ous and studious, but nearly all his_ per sonal friends know that in his ordinary conversation he is as picturesque aud as graphic as is Col. Ingersoll or as was the iate Emory H. Stores. I have heard him unbosom himself in one vivid, grotesque sentence that would drop into a hubbub of conversation like a bombshell to scatter all of those opposed to him. He is given to saying the unexpected, even to His most intimate friends and to the members of his family. “On one occasion when I had not seen him for two or three years I called at his office in Belleville and rapping at the door was invited, in a rich sonorous voice in toned to tile special occasion, to come in. I went in and found Mr. Baker sitting at a table, toward which I moved. As soon as be set eyes on me he began to welcome me in that peculiar voice of his, and as i stood at the table on one side, he oil the other, he raised to his feet and put his hand in his pocket. Taking out a pocket- knife, he put it down on the table with some emphasis, saying: ‘Sir, my daughter found this knife in the bed-room which you occupied when you were last at ray house. I took possession of it as your property and I have cared for it carefully since. I now return it and my steward ship is at an end. Is that your knife ?’ “I was able to identify the knife by a broken blade, and I so informed him. He turned it over with an affectation of great relief, then gave me an enthusiastic wel come.

J., on Sat urday night cu.no to uH death in a very singular manner, lie was employed us a gardener. On Saturday nignt he Was found stupidly drunk on a sidewalk by a policeman and was taken to the station Uouso. Several of liii friends scoured his release bv promising to take him home. Instead they left him in an outhouse. In the morning lie was found dead.

C., November 9.—The New York Herald to-day astonishes the natives by the announcement that Speaker Carlisle will resign the seat which Mr. Thobe proposes to contest, and stand lor another election. It says that in case Thobe contests Car lisle can j.ot well be a candidate for speak er, because if elected speaker he would have to appoint an election commission to sit, iu his own case. To get around these difficulties, it says he will resign on receiv ing a certificate of election from the gov ernor of the state, and there will be a new election. This remarkable statement is met here, however, with the counter statement that a man who has been served with a notice of contest cannot end that contest by re signing, because it is not yet finally deter mined whether he has any seat to resign. The question can only be determined by the house itself, which house does not or ganize until December, 1887. Northern Methodist Enterprise. Philadelphia, November 11.—The twenty-first annual meeting of the general committee of the board of church exten sion of the Methodist Episcopal church was held here this afternoon. The com mittee is composed of the bishops of the church, thirteen ministers from different sections of the country and thirteen dele gates from the board located in this city. The following bishops were present at the meeting to-day: Bowman, Harris, Mer rill, Andrews, Warren, Foss, Walden, Mal- lalieu and Fowler. The annual report of the board to the general committee makes a very favorable showing. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is needed to carry oil the work of church extension during 1887. The Shipping and InilimYrial Langur. I Pensacola, November 11.—At to-day’s session of the Shipping and Industrial League resolutions were adopted favoring the re-establishment, of the American mer chant marine, and Hon. John M. Martin, of Alabama, was appointed chairman of a committee to present them to congress. The delegates visited to-day the mouth of the harbor, the navy yards and forts. This evening Dr. Holt, of New Orleans, address ed the delegates and citizens upon the subject of "Quarantine,” and E~. L. Cor- thell, of New York, spoke on ship rail ways. Over a (loud Maa’e Grave. Chattanooga, Tenn., November 11,— The remains of Rev. Father Ryan, late of St. Peter and Paul Catholic church, were re-interred here to-day in the new Catholic burying grounds. Father Ryan died here in 1878 of yellow fever contracted while re lieving the sick and burying the dead. The relief committee of the city, largely made up of Protestants, attended the ceremonies in a body. High pontifical mass was sol emnized by Bishop Rademacher. The ceremonies were the most beautiful and interesting ever witnessed in this city. There was a large general attendance. Another Explosion. Chicago, November 11—A Times special from New Orleans says : At the Myrtle Grove plantation, in Plaquemine parish, owned by Congressman-elect Wilkinson, tlie boiler of the draining machine ex ploded yesterday, killing the engineer in charge and badlyscalding and dangerously injuring the fireman and another hand. The boiler was blown up an eighth of a mile and the concussion was felt for miles down the river. Iltirbonr's Serenade. Washington, November 11.—Hon. John S. Barbour, of Virginia, who has just re turned from a trip to Europe, was given a j complimentary reception and serenade to- ! night at the Metropolitan Hotel by the ; Virginia Democratic Association and many I personal friends. In response to the sere- ; nude he spoke from the balcony of the j I hotel to a large crowd assembled in the ; j street below. Striking Itrnkenii-n. , Chicago, November 11.—A j cial from Wheeling, W.

The men refuse to give the I reason for their move but say they will I meet the road officials at noon Saturday. Illalim Out at 1‘niltlrn. New York, November 8.—James G. Blaine spent this morning in Wall streot attending to several business ventures in which he is interested. He dined with his nephew this afternoon. Mr. Blaine’s nephew, in talking about his uncle, said: "It has been said that Mr. Blaine is here for political purposes. !■ know that he is not, and t||at he came hi re to look after some of his investments. He has not ex pressed any opinion about the last election in this city. I heard him say the other day most positively that ue was out of pol itics, and that, lie was not seeking the nomination for the presidency of me re publicans in 1888.” Uatteer far Five Vann. The interests of humanity seem to de mand the publication of the following facts: Two months ago my attention was called to the case of a poor woman who was said to be afflicted with a cancer. I found her with an ulcer on her shoulder at least five inches in circumference, angry, painful and giving the patient no rest day or night lor six months. I obtained a supply of Swift’s Specific, which I per suaded li r to try. She has taken five bot tles, the result of which is that the ulcer is entirely healed up, nothing remaining but a small scab not larger than one’s fin ger nail, and her general health is better than for five years past. She seems to be perfectly cured. 1 consider its effects wonderful—almost miraculous. Rev. Jesse H. Campbell, Columbus, Ga. Poisoned with Potash anil Mrrcury Is the tale of a large percentage of sick people in the world—such a large number, in fact, that it is hard to tell whether there are not as many victims to this mineral poisoning as to diseases of the blood and skin. “I took potash,” said one, “and while it partially dried up the eruption temporari ly, it came near drying up my vitality for ail time. It drove the disease in my sys tem, only to break out again on some other part of my body.” To such sufferers Swift’s Specific is the remedy which is worth more than all the world besides. It drives out the poison of blood taint, eliminates this mineral poison and builds up the general health.

Opinion of a Loading Editor. Almost all the diseases that afflict us from infancy to old age have their origin in a disordered liver. A really good liver medicine is the most important in the whole range of pharmacy. We believe Simmons Liver Regulator to be the best among them all. We pin our faith upon the Regulator, and if we could persuade every reader who is in ill health to buy it, we would willingly vouch for the benefit each would receive.—Ed.
