him to proceed with the collection of the

Trouble Over Furniture Payments—
Twelve New Locomotives.
Columbus, Ga., Nov. 3. —Daniel M. Wes
ton, of Lively, Ala., was arrested in this
city to-day on a warrant sworn out by H.
A. Gibsou, a large furniture dealer, charg
ing Weston with embezzlement. Weston
has been selling furniture for Gibson and
has failed to make proper returns, so the
warrant says. Mr. Weston is a broker in
Lively, Ala., and was for a short time edi
tor of the Brownsvdle Investigator.
Twelve new ongiues have been ordered
for the Columbus and Western road. They
are four-driver engines, and as thoy are
very heavy it is not likely that they will be
put on the road till the wooden bridges
along the line have been replaced by iron
structures.
A train of forty wagons loaded with cot
ton from Lee county, Alabama, reached this
city this afternoon. The owners of the cotton
are members of the “Lee County Farmers’
Alliance,” and came here because they re
gard Columbus as the best place to sell their
cotton ami buy their supplies.
“THEY MUST Ne'vEß HANG."
A Wild, Weird Tale of Rescue or
Revenge.
Pittsburg, Oct. 31.—An evening paper
publishes the following sensational story:
“A couple of well-known gentlemen over
heard something yesterday that was rather
startling. The parties refen ed to reside in
Allegheny, and, being in the neighborhood
of the Union depot, boarded the Chicago
train for the purpose of crossing the river.
They took a seat in the smoking-car, next a
seat occupied bv two men. Just before the
train rolled out of the depot an old man
with a white bt-ard entered the car, carrying
a box about two feet long and ten inches
square. He sjxjke to the two men, re
ferred to, and seating himself on the arm of
their seat, handed the lx>x to one of the men,
and in a low voice, that could be overheard
by the two Alleghenian*, said: ‘There’s the
box, now handle it carefully, for it won't
take much to make it go off. Tin remark
at once aroused the curiosity of the gentle
men who overheard it, and they at once be
gan to pay the strictest attention lowliut
followed, although apparently and- ply en
gaged perusing the papers which they were
holding before them. The old man still re
tained his position ou the arm of the seat,
and was heard to say: ‘Now, you both Know
vvnat to do. Just as soon as you get to
Chicago, go straighi to Tom's' place, on
South Ha'stead street, and stay there unt 1
the Supreme Court's decision has been
made. That will be about Tuesday. Then
go to see Parsons und find out what he
wants. Be very careful, though, to watch
the box ail the time.’
“By this time the train had nearly reached
the Federal street depot, and as its speed
began to decrease the old man ros and gave
a hearty handshake to each of his friends
and said: “You don’t need to be afraid
about going to the jail, for no one there
knows you, and remember, that no differ
ence whai happens they must never hang.
• The tram siopped, and with a hurrie t
good-by the old man left the train. The
two gentlemen wiio had overheard what
was said got up to leave the train also, and
walked through the car in order to get a
view ot the two men who were apparently
bound for Chicago. One of them w*ns about
30 years of age, smooth face, blonde
hair and fair complexion, with a German
expression about his features. The other
was very dark, and wore a heavy beard,
and looked to be about 45 years old. He
was recognized as a man who had taken a
very active part in one of the meetings ad
dressed by Mrs. Parsons in Allegheny last
winter. Re had been seen there by one of
the parties who had overheard the conversa
tion, and who had attended the meeting re
. I'erred to. His name, however, could not
be recalled.
“The only inference to be taken from the
incident is that the parties were interested
iu the fate of the Anarchists in Chicago, aid
apparently have devised some plan tor
their relief, and are counting upon the ina
bility of the Chicago authorities to recognize
them as one of the prime factors to make it,
a success. It would, indeed, tie strange 'f
a rescue of the imprisoned men would be
attempted by Pittsburghers, or that bombs
to be used l'or the purpose of avenging them
should be made in this city. The two gen
tlemen who overheard the incident are well
known, and their statement can be relied
upon.”

St. Joseph, Mo., Nov. B. —On last Sun
day morning two couples arrived at the
Union Depot on the train from Atchison.
One of the men went to a livery stable and
procured a double rig, while tue other 0.,e
remained with the ladies iu the depot wait

of them got iu and drove off at a rapid
rate They drove over on the east side of
town and started down Charles street. At
Eighth and Charles streets the horses be
came frightened and ran at full speed and
one of the horses shied, knocking the car
riage ngainsta lump-poet and throwing out
all the occupants. It was impossible to
learn the names of all the persons, as they
refused to give their names. One of the
women, named Watson, had her head badly
injured uud six t oth were knocked out,.
The other woman, who gave her name a,
Minnie, but would say nothing more, had
six ribs broken and was otherwise hurt.
One of the men, who said his name was
Haskins, was thrown headlong against Uie
lamp-post, breaking his jaw ami mashing
his nose. The other man was but slightly
wounded. He refused to give any of their
names, saying that they were ail well
known in Atchison, and if the fac s became
noised about it would ruin them. Thepeo
ple were all extremely well dressed. Tims
the affair was wrapped in mystery.
Yesterday afternoon one of the women
died, but before death she asked fora minis
ter and made a confession, giving her name
as Mrs. Minnie Morrison. Then came news
from Atchison which showed that the four
persons were Will Van Doren, cashier for
Howell & Jewett, lumber dealers; G. A.
Dascomb, traveling salesman for the same
firm; Mrs. Minnie Morrisrn, wife of W, H.
Morrison, a fruit dealer, and Miss Ida Leap
son, daughter of J. J. Leapson, a tailor.
Mrs. Morrison is the one who died. Miss
Leapson will recover, but her face will lie
badly disfigured.

Birth of an “Evil Spirit.”
Calcutta Dispatch to the London Time. l :.
An extrordinary appeal case has lately
been heal'd in Madras which puts in evi
dence the active character of existing super
stitions. It seems that one of the accused in
the original case gave birth in December last
to a mule child having four eyes, the litre of
a money, and crooked arms and legs, while it
grunted like a pig immediately ou its birth.
The midwife placed the child under a
trough ami sat upon it, both she aud the
mother raising cries of alarm. The male
prisoners then came and tixik the child into
a field ami killed it by striking it on the
head with a club. Their explanation was
that the child was an evil spirit, which they
ware justified by the custom of the country
in killing in order to prevent it from doing
evil. Tue judge acquitted them on the
ground of u mistake of fact. This decis
ion was necessarily upset on appeal. The
accused believed that unless the child had
been killed it would hav e grown to an im
ruen-e size and devasted the country, and
that they were therefore committing a mer

ROBERT GARRETT'S TROUSERS.
How the Son of Lis Father Talked
Trousers to His Tailor.
Prom the Sew York. Sun.
Robert Garrett furnished no end of
amusement to the telegraph operators in
his employ, and among a largo number
who worked in the main office here and in
Baltimore he enjoyed the distinction of being
dubbed a “chump.” He obtained the title,
it is said, in this way: One day he reached
his Baltimore office in a steaming hurry.
It really looked to insiders as ir he bad
something of importance on his hands and
was anxious to get rid of it in a hurry. It
was evidently a matter worthy of much
care.
The great man sat down at his desk. Ho
reached for some paper, jubbttl a pen in an
ink bottle, and square l himself. He wrote
for a full minute without a rest. Then he
sat up, stuck the end of the penholder
between his teeth and bit, it. After chewing
and ruminating for five minutes he attacked
the paper again. The pci moved along more
or less smoothly for five minutes. A halt
was called. The great man read what ho had
written and tore it up.
Those around him wondered what he was
about. His office was furnished with a
stenographer and a type writer, but upon
neither of these did tic great man call. He
was evidently engaged upon a matter that
could only be disposed of by trims.lf.
He grabbed a fresh sheet of paper. He
filled that with straight aud curved lines
and tore it up. The office was incoming
worked up to a hig h pitch of excitment.
Another sheet of paper was tackled.
Slowly a'd by jerks it was filled with
writing. The effort was read aud read again
by the great man. It was apparently satis
factory. He sighed and signed it; then he
handed it to n minion, who transferred it to
a telegraph operator. There were about 300
words in it, and in its composition the great
man had consumed an hour. When the
dispatch reached the operating room it was
passed around. Its contents were too strik
l g for the digestion of one man When it
reached the operating room in this city it
was pas.* .l tujund, with tiie comment:
“That's the kind of a chump you’re working
for.”
It was a dispatch from Mr. Garrett to his
New York tailor about a pair of trousers.
Outrageous Deeds of a Servant Girl.
Sharon {Mass.) Dispatch in the Boston Journal.
The cause of the mysterious affair which
took place at the residence of Charles J.
Roe and his sister, Mrs. Cribben, at their
beautiful home lietweeu this village*and
Norwood during the summer, which caused
the destruction of over $30,003 worth o
property, has boen discovered in the person
of Kate Agues Gleason, the servant girl
employed by Mr. Roe, who has confessed to
all the acts except the burning of the house.
Mr. Roe is an Englishman and has lived in
this locality for quite a long time and built
an elegant inaa-iou which was richly fur
nished and filled with costly brick-a-brac.
He lived here with his widowed sister in re
tirement on the income of an ample fortune,
in May last early oue evening two heavy
stones were thrown against the house. Mr.
Roe could not catch the thrower and did
not mind much about the affair, thinking
it a drunken passer. The next night
stones were thrown through the window,
but be was unable to discover the perpe
trator. A few days later three Shet
land ponies which lie had imported
at a great expense was poisoned by Paris
green. The stone throwing continued at
intervals, and twice the house was robbed of
money and jewelry. No clew was discov
ered, although the State detectives investi
gated the case. Ou July 19, the house was
burned to the ground together with its en
tire contents, the loss being li-.arlv $30,000,
on Which there was an insurance of less than
$7,000. The fire was thought to have been
accidental. Sometime after the fire the
servant girl brought to Mrs. Gribben two
pieces *1 jewelry, and raid she found them
m the a- Aof the burned house, but as the
articles did not show any effects of the fire.
Mrs. Gribben su-peeted the girl kuewsome
thing about 1 lie ail'air, and by questioning
her prevailed upon the girl to make a con
fession. She sajd she poisoned the ponies,
robbed the house twice and threw the stones,
and acknowledged every act except the tire.
She finish* I hor confession, and being in
tensely excited, cried in frenzy, “now l have
told you ail, punish me if you wish to, but
do it quick. Cut tny throat! Kill me! any
thing. ’ The next evening as it was desir
able to have a witness to the confession, an
officer was hidden in a coal bin in the green
house aud the ,;tr was prevailed upon to
give the details of the affair again. A war
rant was issue 1 tor her arrest, but as Mrs.
Gribben wished to recover some of the jew
elry, it was no! served, as the girl promised
to obtain it the next day. The next day she
skipped and wen: to Boston. She was
traced to Mrs. Sullivan's employment of
ti -c, where he liiv I obtained a situation in
Cambridge, where she remained five davs,
an*l since then no trace of her can be found.
The story of the confession has been keot
quiet at tile request of tile officers, hopiug
that she might be arrested, but now it is
made public that no one else may be vic
timized by her.
