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.

Asleep fur Three Years.
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.

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.
But I’m afraid he will be. The law is so
dreadful tempting.”—Tid-Bits.

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? Veil, veil, you can’t help dot.”—
